"What can you do at this time?" Han Qi asked.
Han Chen didn't answer.
Zhou Zheng came to the rescue and said, "Han Chen is a doctor, and he's always busy. If he says he has something to do, it must be real. Han Chen, get back to work."
Han Chen glanced at Han Qi and thanked Zhou Zheng, "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Zhou."
"Go quickly."
"Well," Han Chen said, "Uncle Zhou, Fourth Uncle, I'm leaving first."
Back to the car.
Zhou Mo asked Han Chen nervously, "We... weren't discovered, right?"
Han Chen: "No."
Zhou Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."
Han Chen started the car and said, "I'll take you home."
Zhou Mo nodded.
Halfway through the drive, Han Chen suddenly noticed his hand on the steering wheel. He stretched his hand out to Zhou Mo and said, "I forgot to return this to you."
Only then did Zhou Mo notice the thing on his wrist. She took it off and put it back into her bag.
…
Saturday.
Zhou Mo followed Zhou Zheng's instructions and returned to Yuanshangju.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma of leeks and eggs from the kitchen, mixed with the taste of various spices.
"Mom, I'm back. What are you doing?" Zhou Mo put down his bag, changed his shoes, walked into the kitchen and checked what was going on.
Zhou Zheng came out of the kitchen holding an electric tea kettle in his hand, and in his other hand he was holding an iron can of Maofeng tea. This was the tea that Zhou Zheng himself was reluctant to drink.
"Are there guests at home?" Zhou Mo asked.
Zhou Zheng: "Your mother asked your Aunt Liang to come over, and our two families will make dumplings together today."
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, "Where's Han Chen? Come over too?"
Liu Xiangru said, "It depends on whether they have time. As a doctor, it's hard to say when they can rest."
Zhou Mo: "I'll go ask." He turned around and ran to find his phone.
Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng looked at each other.
"Why does it feel like this child's relationship with Han Chen has suddenly improved?" Liu Xiangru asked.
Zhou Zheng shook his head. "The two kids were high school classmates, so it's normal for them to have a good relationship."
Liu Xiangru's expression was serious. "I don't think it's normal. Before, when we mentioned Han Chen, Momo was always reluctant and impatient. Now, she brought it up before we even mentioned it."
Zhou Zheng: "Just bring it up. It's good that the two of us can continue to be good friends."
Liu Xiangru glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "You just want them to be good friends, don't you have any other ideas?"
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment and said, "There's something I haven't told you."
Liu Xiangru turned off the heat, scooped out the scrambled eggs, and poured them into the chopped raw chives. "What's wrong?"
"Han Chen..." Zhou Zheng didn't know how to start. "Anyway, don't try to match people up with each other anymore. Han Chen is not suitable for our Momo."
"Why not? He's a doctor, so he's perfect, okay? And then Momo can take the civil service exam, and then our whole family will work in public institutions, how great."
"Ah," Zhou Zheng sighed, "You don't know, Han Chen's family...his father's side is a wealthy family in the imperial capital. We are a small family, we can't even get close to them."
Liu Xiangru, however, was unconcerned. "What's the big deal? No matter how big it is, how big can it be? Our family isn't bad either, okay? We both have official positions, so our children don't have to worry about our retirement. The mortgage has been paid off long ago, and all the money we saved is Momo's dowry. How can we be bad? If you ask me, with our family's conditions, we can easily find a live-in son-in-law."
Zhou Zheng: "You really thought of it."
Liu Xiangru: "What can't I think of? If Momo really finds a poor man, I will recruit him as a live-in son-in-law. After all, our daughter can't suffer any loss."
Zhou Zheng: "Aren't you attracted to Han Chen? Han Chen's family background is so high that even if we sell everything we have, we can't even compare to him."
Liu Xiangru raised her eyebrows. "What kind of family background does he have? What makes you say that so outrageous?"
Zhou Zheng: "I'm not sure. Anyway, his fourth uncle is a professor and vice president of Imperial Capital University, and he has very close connections with the people at the top. A few days ago, he came to Dongjiang, and as soon as he left, Director Guo was investigated. A notice was just issued today that he was dismissed from his position."
Liu Xiangru was shocked, "No way?"
"Why not?" Zhou Zheng put down the teapot, took out his mobile phone and showed Liu Xiangru the dismissal notice posted online.
"He's really been fired?" Liu Xiangru exclaimed. "Where's he? Where is he now?"
"I don't know. I can't find out."
"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? Who was fired?" Zhou Mo was holding his cell phone and heard Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru whispering as soon as he entered the kitchen.
Zhou Zheng said, "Director Guo."
Zhou Mo was sending a message to Han Chen when her typing hand suddenly stopped. "What's going on?" she asked.
"Who knows?" Zhou Zheng said, picked up the teapot and went to the living room.
Zhou Mo was still wondering, so she quickly sent a message to Han Chen.
Director Guo has been dismissed, did you know?
Han Chen: I know, what’s wrong?
Zhou Mo: You knew that but you didn’t tell me?
Han Chen: Why do you care so much about him?
Zhou Mo: Eat melon.
Han Chen sent a cold sweat emoji and continued: There is nothing to eat. He did not do a good job in children's eye care. The people above came to inspect and found that he was completely unqualified, which led to the entire Health Bureau being criticized by name. Secretary Qin dismissed him directly in order to give an explanation to the higher-ups.
Zhou Mo was skeptical: Is it that simple?
Han Chen: What else?
Zhou Mo: I thought it was your fourth uncle’s intention.
Han Chen: No.
Zhou Mo breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Han Qi was just an expert and didn't have much real power.
A second later, Han Chen sent another message: It’s my third uncle.
Zhou Mo: ???
