Su Yunbai squatted down, placed the flowers in her hand in front of the tombstone, then raised her head and looked at her grandmother in the photo.

The kind-looking old woman had a smile on her face, and her eyes were open and broad, as if no storms could be taken into her eyes.

Grandma Su's time has been frozen forever, in a format she likes.

Su Yunbai took a deep breath in the morning breeze and smiled.

She looked at the person in the photo, silently speaking her inner thoughts -

"I haven't come to see you for a long time, you are not angry, right? It's not that I don't want to come, but I'm afraid you will scold me for being useless. After all, I have never done what you asked me to do.

"But now I dare to come!

"You guessed it, didn't you? Yes, I have divorced Huo Qinian...

" "You are right. Many things are not that difficult and not a big deal. People should live for themselves and not wrong themselves...

" "I am living a good life now. It's just a pity that I couldn't get better earlier, so that you were worried about me in the last moments..."

The mountain wind blew gently, making the trees on both sides of the cemetery sway gently, rustling and creating a special sense of tranquility.

Su Yunbai stood up and sighed softly.

Before the sigh faded away, she vaguely heard a few deliberately heavy footsteps.

Su Yunbai turned around - Ji Cheng was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, standing a few steps away and looking at her, with a faint smile and surprise on his face.

Su Yunbai was stunned for

a moment, "Senior Ji?" Ji Cheng smiled and nodded, "You seem to be in a trance... Didn't it scare you?"

Su Yunbai said, "No. How could it be?"

She stepped back two steps and made room for Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng walked forward and placed the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone, right next to Su Yunbai's bouquet.

The two bouquets of flowers were side by side, and the flowers were blooming lively, and there was also a sense of a cluster of flowers.

After giving the flowers, Ji Cheng stood in front of the tombstone for a short while, and then stepped back and returned to Su Yunbai's side.

He explained, "I came back to see my grandfather, and happened to come here to see my teacher." Then he asked Su Yunbai, "You just came back from G County, right? When did you come back? I didn't seem to see your car at the foot of the mountain?"

"I just came back last night and didn't drive myself."

Ji Cheng looked at his watch, "It's almost noon. Do you have any other plans today? If not, how about having dinner together?" He said with an apologetic look on his face, "For that oolong last time... I've been looking for an opportunity to give you an excuse to apologize."

Su Yunbai looked confused.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and said, "Last time, when I went to A Garden to look for you... that powerful old lady seemed to have misunderstood something." He paused and said self-deprecatingly, "You don't even remember that I still bring up such an unhappy thing. Isn't it a bit too inconsiderate?"

Su Yunbai finally reacted.

That was almost a month ago. After she moved from Lianshan to A Garden, Xu Jinzhi and others organized a warm house gathering for her. Ji Cheng was very generous and gave her a gift, and he delivered it personally.

There was a very gossipy old lady in her community, her surname was Wu. Because of some things, old lady Wu was always particularly concerned about her affairs, asking all kinds of questions and saying very unpleasant things.

Ji Cheng actually suffered the same treatment that Huo Qinian received last time.

Su Yunbai laughed, "What's the big deal? We can have dinner, but I'm too embarrassed to ask for gifts."

The two walked down the mountain together.

Ji Cheng said, "I don't have any problem, but you have to see her every day, which affects your mood. By the way, the old lady is so...aggressive, is there any reason?"

"She is easy to find out, that's her personality. But the biggest reason is that I am in direct competition with her son."

Su Yunbai said, "You know, the project of Leading Technology is not small, and there are quite a few associate professors waiting to be promoted to full-time positions at University A."

Ji Cheng understood.

He said, "But this kind of person is really annoying. I don't feel comfortable looking for you when I have something to do."

Su Yunbai was a little surprised, "You want to look for me? What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you for help with something. I was planning to make another appointment with you in a few days, but now that we meet, it's an opportunity."

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "It seems that I really have to treat you to this meal. Let's go, I haven't eaten the local dishes of City C for a long time."

The two drove straight to a hotel in the center of City C.

While waiting for the food to be served, Ji Cheng told Su Yunbai what he wanted to do.

Su Yunbai was a little surprised, "You want me to be an environmental assessment consultant for your project?"

Environmental assessment, also known as environmental impact assessment, is simply to assess the impact of current engineering project development on the environment. One of the most important items is radiation environmental assessment. If the environmental assessment fails, the engineering procedures cannot be completed, let alone implemented.

There are special environmental assessment experts for environmental assessment, and these experts generally have to register under a column specially set up by the government. Before the project is established, these experts need to be invited to conduct an assessment.

Generally speaking, environmental assessment experts are very popular. There is less work and less time, and they make a lot of money. The most important thing is that this part of the income is considered legal side income.

Of course, with so many registered experts, it is up to the project manager to decide which one or which few to hire. Generally, the most popular environmental assessment experts may not be the most capable, but they definitely have the widest network of contacts.

There are many registered environmental assessment experts in the Physics Department of University A, especially in the field of nuclear physics, after all, radiation is a very important indicator in environmental assessment.

Su Yunbai is of course one of them. She registered as a convenience back then, and over the years, she has not actually served any engineering project as an environmental assessment expert or consultant.

Ji Cheng said, "I have an interior design and decoration project on hand. As you know, decoration has high requirements for the environment. We will strictly control the specific materials, but the environmental assessment literacy of my employees is still somewhat lacking. So, I would like to invite you to take a few classes to help me train my employees..." "

Teaching is no problem." Su Yunbai thought for a while, "But senior, can you tell me? Who are the environmental assessment consultants that your company used to cooperate with?"

Everyone has a different temper. Although it is the freedom of the project manager to hire whom to be an environmental assessment consultant, colleagues are jealous of each other. What if you meet someone with a weird personality and think she is here to steal your territory?

Su Yunbai is not afraid of trouble, but she still wants to avoid some unnecessary troubles as much as possible.

Besides, she doesn't really need the "extra income" of a consultant. If it wasn't Ji Cheng who asked her today, she might have refused directly. It's not for anything else, but mainly because she is too lazy to get involved in some complicated interpersonal relationships.

Ji Cheng smiled, "We often cooperate with..." He said a few names in a row, and then said, "We are still cooperating with these people. The one I want to replace is one of them. I don't know if you know him, his name is Wu Zhien..."

Wu Zhien?

What a coincidence?

Su Yunbai subconsciously looked up at Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng remained calm, "What's wrong? Do you know this Wu Zhien?"

He looked confused.

Su Yunbai thought that he was thinking too much, and smiled, "You really know him. Wu Zhien is the son of that old lady Wu... the one we just talked about."

Ji Cheng exclaimed, "Ah," I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. But I'm not 'taking revenge', I really didn't know there was such a reason before. I want to replace him, mainly because of his character..."

Ji Cheng hesitated, as if he was a little hesitant about whether he should say bad things about people behind their backs.

Su Yunbai looked at him with sharp eyes.

Wu Zhien joined the company before her. When he signed the contract with University A, the employment system of University A had not yet been reformed. At that time, one term was still six years, and it could be renewed once after six years. After the renewal, if he was not promoted or converted to a regular employee within the period specified in the contract, he would have to leave.

When Su Yunbai joined the company, Wu Zhien had already completed his first six-year contract and was in the process of renewing it. He was eager to become a regular employee and attached great importance to any project that might allow him to increase his investment.

When the project of Leading Technology just started, he was also a member of the project. Later, because of some things, he took the initiative to leave. Later, seeing that the project had a good prospect, he wanted to come back several times...

In short, Wu Zhien had caused Su Yunbai countless annoying troubles surrounding the project of Leading Technology.

First it was him, and then it was his mother... If the open approach didn't work, he would do it covertly.

Su Yunbai didn't really have a good temper. In fact, after Ji Cheng said that the person she was going to replace was Wu Zhien, Su Yunbai had already nodded in advance.

At this moment, she was really a little curious - what embarrassing thing did Wu Zhien do?

Su Yunbai held the water cup, looking at Ji Cheng with sparkling eyes, her gossipy and curious expression was very vivid.

Ji Cheng used a lot of willpower to not let himself show.

He sighed softly, as if he was very sorry for Wu Zhien, "I guess you also know that when we invite experts or consultants to teach, we will pay according to the class hours. Under normal circumstances, we will also pay fees for assistants brought by experts or consultants themselves according to a certain proportion.

"Associate Professor Wu...he brought all his students. Actually, it's not a big deal, there are only five in total. Although most of these students are here purely to attend classes, it's not that we can't afford the fees.

"It's just that he only came once and never came again. He handed over the teaching task to his students, but he still has to pay the tuition fees...

"I don't mind the salary, but I pay generously. You can at least guarantee the quality of the class, right? "

Su Yunbai nodded as she listened.

Seeing that she was interested, Ji Cheng went into more depth.

Exploiting students, cheating students of their labor income, and various abusive practices that caused students to delay graduation...

Su Yunbai was listening with great interest when the cell phone in her bag suddenly vibrated.

She picked up the phone and looked at it, and frowned subconsciously.

Assistant Liu. No, it should be said that it was President Liu.

Su Yunbai didn't want to answer the call.

She turned off the phone and threw it back into her bag.

Ji Cheng didn't ask, and continued to talk naturally.

But soon, Su Yunbai's cell phone vibrated again, and she seemed to be unwilling to give in.

Ji Cheng observed her expression and said, "Is there something urgent? It's okay here, you go and do your thing first. "

Su Yunbai smiled apologetically, left the table temporarily, and went to answer the phone.

After the call was answered, Liu Kexin on the other end did not speak for a long time. The only sound coming through the receiver was her slightly rapid breathing.

Just when Su Yunbai was about to lose patience, she finally spoke: "Madam, I was wrong..." She took a deep breath, "I was blind before... Please be magnanimous and let me go..."

Su Yunbai frowned.

What crazy talk is this person talking about?
