Chapter 228 only sent a telegram.
"We still need to discuss this matter properly, and we need to report it first."
"Yes, yes, yes, it needs to be reported."
"It should be reported."
"No, the most crucial thing right now is Lin Xiaotao, she's really..."
As soon as the professor said that, good heavens, everyone fell silent again.
Having lived this long, who wouldn't see through her? Lin Xiaotao is indeed a prodigy, but she's also genuinely naive, and she has her own set of logic. Anyway, these are all things they've observed just now. As for the rest, the professors really wanted to touch her face, but they felt that this was a bit difficult.
After all, the child hasn't even figured things out yet, so no matter how much you say, they won't care.
"Never mind, let's report it first."
Finally, everyone reached a consensus.
As for Xiao Taohua, she happily left the office and headed straight for the place where the group usually met.
"So late? What happened?"
Little Peach Blossom shook her head: "No, the professor asked me to do some problems."
"Oh." Li Zhen didn't seem to care much. "Are you hungry? Let's go eat first."
"Mmm, let's eat." Little Peach Blossom nodded eagerly; she was really hungry.
As usual, the group went to the cafeteria, got their food, and ate.
Little Peach Blossom still eats braised pork every day; she never gets tired of it and eats as much as she can.
"Does Lin Xiaotao like braised pork? I made an extra portion, please have some."
As the sound faded, a plate of braised pork fell next to Little Peach Blossom.
Little Peach Blossom looked up and saw Cheng Zhen in front of her, with Peng Li beside her.
"Thank you in advance, but we don't need it." It was Li Zhen who stepped forward again.
They haven't even settled accounts with Cheng Zhen for confessing his feelings to Xiao Taohua yet, and here he is again.
"This must be Li Zhen. What a coincidence, we have the same name except for our surnames."
"Unfortunately, my parents chose my name. We're still eating, so we won't invite you two any longer." This means, "Don't disturb our meal."
Cheng Zhen smiled and looked at Xiao Taohua: "Lin Xiaotao, are you really not going to eat? I heard the braised pork is pretty good today."
"I told you we thanked you, but it's not necessary."
"Li Zhen, I'm asking about Lin Xiaotao."
Li Zhen: ...
Is this person unable to understand human language or doing it on purpose?
It was definitely intentional!
"Thank you, I have my own." Little Peach Blossom's mouth was stuffed with food, and her cheeks bulged as she spoke.
"Oh, that's a shame."
"You can eat by yourselves," Little Peach Blossom suggested.
"You really like braised pork?"
"I like it."
"Yes, being able to eat is a blessing." Cheng Zhen said, and walked away with the braised pork with a smug look on his face.
"What does that person mean!" Li Zhen pointed at Cheng Zhen's back.
Song Yi glanced at him coldly: "Provoking us."
Lin Xiaoguang said expressionlessly, "My target is my sister."
"Is the target me? Why?" Little Peach managed to swallow her food.
"I want to marry you." Li Zhen snorted.
Little Peach Blossom quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, I'm still young. My parents said it's not too late for me to start dating at twenty."
"Hmph, twenty-five isn't too late."
Lin Xiaotao smiled at Li Zhen and continued eating.
"This kid's probably going to haunt me forever," Li Zhen muttered.
"How about it? Want to beat him up?"
"What are you saying? Do you think we're bullies?"
"Isn't it?"
"Hey, Song Yi, are you asking for it?"
"I have something important to tell you."
"Okay, then let's find some time to beat him up, no, let's reason with him properly."
"Yes, I'll go with you."
"Okay."
"I'll go too," Lin Xiaoguang added quietly.
Li Zhen and Song Yi glanced at him and nodded indifferently.
Okay, let's add Lin Xiaoguang too.
As for Little Peach Blossom, she was ignored by the three of them, who shared the same idea.
Does reasoning with someone like Xiao Tao Hua require bringing her along? That's like throwing a lamb to the slaughter, impossible, absolutely impossible.
Little Peach Blossom listened silently to their discussion, not really caring.
Anyway, I've been used to it since I was a child.
On the other side, Peng Li and Cheng Zhen, who had walked away, put down their lunch boxes.
"This won't do," Peng Li said while eating.
"Like you?" Cheng Zhen glanced at him.
"Isn't it great to be like this, getting it done with ease?"
"Do you think Lin Xiaotao is lacking food or water?"
Peng Li thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't need any of them."
Although everyone knows that Lin Xiaotao comes from the countryside, she doesn't seem to come from an impoverished family. In fact, her behavior suggests that she must be pampered at home and that her family is certainly not short of money.
"So we can only take it slowly and first get along well with Lin Xiaotao."
"I understand, the first to see the moon is from the mirror-like pavilion!"
Cheng Zhen glared at him: "Keep your voice down."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. But Cheng Zhen, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You're amazing."
"Are they all as simple-minded and brutal as you?"
"I'm fine as I am."
"I've taken care of Wu Guifang's situation for you."
"Huh? Huh? Huh?! It's resolved? So fast?"
"Are you going to drag it out like that?"
"How was it solved?" Peng Li asked, a little curious.
He hadn't seen Wu Guifang all day and thought something was holding him back, but it turned out Cheng Zhen had resolved it.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just remember not to hire just anyone in the future."
"Don't worry, you'll learn from your mistakes."
"I'm glad you know."
"So how exactly was it resolved?" Peng Li thought for a moment, but still couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Zhen glared at him.
So, the other person completely ignored what he just said?
Peng Li chuckled: "Dude, just say it, please!"
Cheng Zhen lowered his eyes: "It's nothing, I just sent a telegram to her family."
"Then what?"
"Her family took her back home."
"That simple?" Peng Li couldn't believe it.
"Simple?"
"Hmm, if I had known it was this simple, I would have sent them back long ago."
"Wu Guifang's family took her back so that she could get married."
Peng Li was stunned for a moment.
"Why? Can't bear to leave?"
"No, it's just that something feels off."
"Has a bad conscience?"
Peng Li touched his chest: "A little, after all, I'm a student at Peking University."
"Then why don't you bring her back and marry her?"
"No need! It's fine as it is, very fine."
Cheng Zhen snorted coldly.
Ultimately, both Peng Li and Wu Guifang were at fault, but the greater fault lay with Wu Guifang.
Everyone knows what kind of person Peng Li is, and everyone knows he's quick to find a girlfriend. In the past, they all broke up amicably, but with Wu Guifang, it's said she's gone mad, but frankly, it's a desperate gamble. After all, no matter what, Peng Li's family background is far superior to Wu Guifang's. She wants to climb the social ladder; what does it matter if she's crazy, as long as she succeeds?
In the end, Wu Guifang only had herself to blame. Cheng Zhen's methods, however, were truly remarkable. Most people wouldn't have thought of such a solution—it was a permanent solution that offended no one. After all, it was Wu Guifang's family who took the person back.
Cheng Zhen simply sent a telegram.
