If Han Chen can successfully integrate into the circle that Du Moliang and Du Moyu are in, his career will be smoother in the future.
This place is not like the capital, we can only keep warm by sticking together.
However, Zhou Mo had not yet figured out how to start the conversation with Wen Lu naturally and unobtrusively, so as to further talk about Lu Yaocheng.
But the opportunity came so quickly.
Shen Qingyi had just returned from a summit in the imperial capital. Returning to Dongjiang with her was a top-level figure who was engaged in real-world research.
This big shot once taught at Johns Hopkins University with Professor Yuan, but was recruited by the Thousand Talents Plan. He is currently serving as the department head and part-time vice president of the college at Imperial Capital University. I heard that he is also a think tank talent in the health sector.
Shen Qingyi has admired this big shot for a long time and has often recommended his articles. This time, not only did he meet him, he also invited him from the imperial capital to Dongjiang to give a lecture. This is definitely a successful example of star chasing.
The boss's name was Han Qi, a man in his fifties with thick hair and a handsome demeanor who looked nothing like a man over fifty. He wore a pair of light brown glasses with thick lenses. He was tall and dressed in a long blue-black trench coat. He was elegant and refined, with the easygoing demeanor of an intellectual.
Shen Qingyi asked Zhou Mo to book a restaurant and arrange dinner without waiting for the boss's lecture to end.
Although the leaders of the college also made arrangements and said that they would treat Professor Han well, Professor Han refused and made it clear that his visit was entirely due to Shen Qingyi's invitation and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Zhou Mo didn't expect that Professor Han would be so disrespectful to the college leaders. The college leaders' faces turned red and black, and they felt unwilling to accept it. In the end, they could only bow down and apologize to Professor Han, blaming the college for not taking good care of him.
Just kidding, this is an expert selected for the think tank.
Even if the provincial leaders came, we still had to bow down to them.
Zhou Mo actually wanted to admire it for a while longer, but Shen Qingyi urged her to make a reservation at the restaurant and even sent her the address.
The restaurant is called "Jiao Ai" and specializes in modified Sichuan cuisine. The dishes are still Sichuan style, but the presentation and arrangement are much more refined. Coupled with the simple and light luxury milky white and light pink decoration style, the grade is greatly improved.
Especially since the restaurant is located in Greedy, a landmark building in Dongjiang, its status has soared.
Anyone who can come here to eat is obviously not someone with consumption habits like Zhou Mo.
It has to be said that Shen Qingyi spent a lot of money this time.
Zhou Mo took a quick look at the menu. Every dish was shockingly expensive. A dish of boiled fish cost almost four hundred yuan.
The waitress was also very talkative. She said that the fish in their store are not from reservoirs, but are caught from the sea and transported here alive, so they have the taste of the sea.
Zhou Mo sneered. It was indeed not a place that someone like her could spend money on.
Anyway, she doesn't have to pay for the meal. Shen Qingyi said that when she comes here, she can just order the dishes as usual without worrying too much.
"That's all. We'll serve the dishes later when everyone is gathered." After ordering, Zhou Mo returned the menu to the waiter.
"Okay." The waiter took it.
"There are no private rooms here, right?" Zhou Mo looked at the reviews online. Some said there were, some said not. When he came in, there was only this floor, a bit like the top floor of the Tokyo Hotel.
As far as the eye can see, the circular hall is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass, which does not look like a place with separate private rooms.
The waiter smiled apologetically: "Our private room is full."
"Full?" Zhou Mo was surprised. "Where is your private room?"
She looked around and saw nothing.
The waiter said, "On the top floor of Greedy."
Greedy is a tower-shaped building with more than fifty floors. It is located in the center of Dongjiang City, adjacent to Lingnan River. Surrounding Greedy is the huge CBD area.
The top floor of Greedy... Zhou Mo couldn't imagine it. It was the pinnacle of Greedy and also the top place in Dongjiang.
Zhou Mo looked up and was instantly deterred.
"Ms. Zhou."
Suddenly a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.
Zhou Mo turned around and found that the person coming was Wen Lu.
Wen Lu was holding a little girl in her arms, who looked to be about three years old. She was her daughter Lu Nian.
"Miss Wen." Zhou Mo's gaze stayed on the little girl in Wen Lu's arms.
"My daughter, Xiao Nian," Wen Lu introduced, and then introduced Lu Nian, "This is my aunt."
Lu Nian called out in a sweet and sweet voice, "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello," Zhou Mo responded with a smile and extended his hand to shake hers.
Lu Nian had small hands and could only pinch a few of her fingers. After pinching them, she shyly snuggled into Wen Lu's arms.
"Xiao'en is quite shy," Wen Lu said. Seeing that she was the only one beside Zhou Mo, she asked, "Where's Doctor Han? Didn't he come with you?"
Zhou Mo was a little surprised, "No, my mentor and others will be here soon."
"Oh, I thought you came here with Doctor Han," Wen Lu apologized again, "After we met in Zhulu Zhongyuan that day, Du Moyou and I asked about your situation. I didn't expect you to be with Doctor Han. It's my fault for being so impatient that I didn't ask clearly and wanted to introduce Wen Luan to you."
"It's okay," Zhou Mo said.
"Everyone still doesn't move around enough, and Mo You didn't tell me they've just met Dr. Han."
"Don't blame Dr. Du. Han Chen is also a rather dull person and not good at communicating with others."
"I've heard that Doctor Han is quiet, but very capable. He's from the capital, and he used to work at Mingde General Hospital, which has the best orthopedics department in the country. I broke my leg there before, and I got treated there. His skills are truly second to none," Wen Lu said. "Unfortunately, my little guy was sick at Zong Yi's birthday party last time, so I didn't have the chance to meet him."
It turns out that Wen Lu didn't make it to the last birthday party because Lu Wen was sick...
Zhou Mo took advantage of the situation and said, "There will be many opportunities in the future. With Dr. Du and his family here, we will definitely be able to see each other."
"That's true. The reason we can get together is all because of Du Moyou and Du Moliang."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Lu Nian yelled that she wanted to go to the bathroom. Wen Lu apologized and took Lu Nian away.
Zhou Mo stared at the backs of the mother and daughter as they left.
The phone suddenly rang.
It was Shen Qingyi. She asked Zhou Mo if he was ready and asked Zhou Mo to go to the door to pick them up.
Zhou Mo welcomed Han Qi and Shen Qingyi, along with several other teachers who had a good relationship with Shen Qingyi.
Han Qi and Shen Qingyi walked in the front, and Zhou Mo followed beside Shen Qingyi to lead the way.
After everyone was seated, Zhou Mo told the waiter to serve the dishes quickly.
Everything was ready. Zhou Mo leaned over Shen Qingyi and whispered, "Teacher, I'm leaving first."
Everyone present was a teacher. It was inappropriate for her, a student, to be present at such a banquet organized by Shen Qingyi.
Shen Qingyi also understood Zhou Mo's meaning. She said, "It's hard work. Take a taxi back. I'll reimburse you."
Zhou Mo felt a little comforted in her heart. Shen Qingyi was quite considerate. Her hard work was not in vain.
