So after the New Year, Pei Shaoqing, carrying the hopes of his whole family, once again embarked on his journey to City A.
Before Pei Shaoqing set off, he saw tears in his grandmother's eyes, but even more so, hope!
Therefore, Pei Shaoqing is determined to find his aunt this time!
Pei Shaoqing asked a friend for help to find the director of the Blue Sky Welfare Home.
At this time, the dean was an old man with white hair, but he was still in good health.
"Hello, Director, I'd like to ask you something. Was this little girl ever at the Lantian Welfare Home you were in charge of at the time?"
Pei Shaoqing took out a photo of his aunt as an infant from his bag and handed it to the dean.
The dean was old, so he put his reading glasses on his nose and adjusted them.
The dean adjusted his glasses with one hand, carefully examining the baby in the photograph.
The photos have yellowed over time, and the babies in them are no longer clearly visible, making them difficult to identify.
"Does this child have any other belongings on him?"
The director of the welfare home hopes that every child can be reunited with their family.
So even though the photo was a bit blurry, he still asked other questions about the child.
“My aunt had a jade pendant in her swaddling clothes when she was a baby, but I don’t know if it was discovered and taken away by the people at the time.” Thinking of this, Pei Shaoqing turned around and took out a jade pendant from his bag.
Every member of the Pei family receives one of these jade pendants from birth, as a family heirloom.
The character "卿" (qing) was engraved on the back of his jade pendant.
The jade pendant of my aunt should be engraved with the character "禾" (He), meaning Pei Zhihe.
The dean took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and felt that it looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"This jade pendant... I feel like I've seen it before. But I can't quite remember it right now."
The dean stared at the jade pendant in his hand, somewhat lost in thought, but due to his advanced age and declining memory, he couldn't recall it for a moment.
"Has the Dean really seen this jade pendant?" Pei Shaoqing asked, slightly excited but also cautiously.
"It looks familiar."
"I'll leave you my contact information. Feel free to call me anytime if you think of anything."
Pei Shaoqing picked up a pen and paper from the side, wrote down his phone number, and handed it to the dean.
The dean took it, glanced at it, and placed it in the inner compartment of one of his most frequently read books.
"In that case, I won't disturb the dean's rest any longer. I'll take my leave now and visit again another day."
"good."
The dean wanted to get up and see him off, but Pei Shaoqing refused.
As I walked out of the dean's house, I felt a sense of relief, as if the search for my aunt was full of hope.
A smile played on her lips, her steps were light, and she drove back to the hotel...
Inside the Mo's Group office building, at An Yiruo's workstation in the operations department, Zhang Yuanyuan had already collected all her documents and returned to work.
"Yi Ruo, guess who I met at the bar the day I came back?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked An Yi Ruo with a slightly excited expression.
Who is it?
"It's Lu Ze. Don't you think we're incredibly lucky? City A is so big, and we've already bumped into each other three times."
At that moment, Zhang Yuanyuan waved a three-pointed hand gesture in front of An Yiruo's eyes.
"Hmm, that's quite a coincidence. But did Miss Yuanyuan get that person's contact information?"
These words struck her like a thunderbolt, and Zhang Yuanyuan slammed her hand on the table in regret: "Every time I see him, it seems like I'm too busy being infatuated with him! I never even think about that aspect!"
"Ugh, I'm such a failure. I didn't even exchange contact information. This is so unlike someone like me, a seasoned veteran of the dating world."
"That's a bit of a shame. As for restocking, is that Lu Ze you mentioned... really that good-looking?" An Yiruo looked at her with a slightly doubtful gaze.
She was also worried that her sisters would be seduced by beauty and deceived!
"Of course, compared to your CEO... he's naturally slightly inferior. But he's still one of the best among people."
"Oh, so you're protecting her now? Looks like you've really fallen for her?" An Yiruo teased her with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense. It's not even close to happening. I don't even have his contact information!"
"The road to winning back my husband... is long and arduous!" An Yiruo gave her a meaningful look.
"What 'chasing husband'? If anyone should be chasing someone, it's him chasing me!" Zhang Yuanyuan said stubbornly, trying to save face.
"Okay, I wish him all the best in winning over our Miss Yuanyuan!"
...
Meanwhile, inside the Mo family's old mansion, Mo Jingfei began preparing for her future acting career after the Lunar New Year.
Not wanting to rely on the Mo family's connections, I've already interviewed with many talent agencies.
However, all the replies we've received so far have been negative.
"I think you'd be better off finding a proper job."
At the dinner table, Mo Zhiting looked at Mo Jingfei and said in an annoyed tone.
"Your job is illegitimate, but mine is legitimate. Just you wait, I'll definitely get a job at a talent agency."
Mo Jingfei grabbed a piece of bread, walked out of the old house, and continued her job interview journey.
Today's interview is with a well-established brokerage firm in the industry, and there are many people here for interviews; the corridor is packed with people.
Looking at the scene before her, Mo Jingfei couldn't help but gasp.
But who is Mo Jingfei? She's seen it all, and this little incident won't break her spirit.
She smiled, walked towards the interview room, knocked on the door, and entered.
The interviewers' questions were all pretty much the same, and Mo Jingfei, who had a lot of interview experience, was able to handle them with ease.
Finally, the interviewer asked her to demonstrate her talent, and Mo Jingfei chose to sing.
"Okay, we'll let you know if we get any updates," is the interviewer's standard closing remark.
"Thank you, teacher," Mo Jingfei bowed to the table and left the room.
She thought the interview was a waste of time, but to her surprise, she received a job offer a few days later.
Mo Jingfei, who was having dinner at the old house, jumped up excitedly, which made Mo Zhiting look at him with some displeasure.
"Mom, Grandma, I passed the interview," Mo Jingfei said, showing them the email on her phone.
"Mom knew it, Feifei is the best." Wang Yuan felt very gratified looking at her daughter's happy face.
"Come on, what gift do you want? Grandma will buy it for you. It'll be your first gift to your new job!"
"Mom, you're spoiling her like this, you'll ruin her!" Mo Zhiting said with a hint of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything more.
"What's wrong with me spoiling my own granddaughter? Why do you have to interfere?" At this moment, Madam Mo displayed the imposing presence of the matriarch of the Mo family, radiating authority as she looked at Mo Zhiting.
