When Zhou Mo pushed the door open.
Shen Qingyi was on the phone. She raised her hand and motioned Zhou Mo to sit down first.
She continued on the phone, "Xiao Huan, you really don't plan to come back? Okay, I get it. Take good care of yourself over there. I'll find time to visit you."
After finishing the call, Shen Qingyi put away his phone.
"How is it?" she asked.
"The contract still has six months to run, and the materials have been handed over to the human resources department," said Zhou Mo.
"Well, I understand," Shen Qingyi asked, "By the way, are you still planning to celebrate my birthday this time?"
Zhou Mo: "Yes, it's decided to fight for the Central Plains."
Shen Qingyi sighed, "Why bother with all this?"
Zhou Mo: "It's your birthday, how can we students not show some appreciation?"
Shen Qingyi waved his hand, "Forget it, let's just 'Fight for the Central Plains'. Give me the invoice when the time comes, and I'll pay."
Zhou Mo: "How can this be possible? We're asking you to pay for your birthday."
Shen Qingyi: "Last year, when you asked Senior Brother to do it, I told him not to do this kind of thing again. My birthday is my personal matter. What's the point of getting involved in letting students spend money?"
Zhou Mo was a little surprised. Although Shen Qingyi had always been reasonable, this was the first time she had seen such a clear statement.
"Xiao Zhou, to be honest, some things aren't as simple as they seem. As a teacher, I often have no choice," Shen Qingyi suddenly sighed. "With your senior brother Suo gone, I've finally gotten rid of the huge burden that weighed on me. Don't bother with such nonsense in the future. If you want to find an excuse to get together, tell me in advance. I'll even pay for it."
Zhou Mo was suddenly confused, "Teacher...what do you mean?" She couldn't understand Shen Qingyi's words at all.
Shen Qingyi said, "Don't think too much. Just remember that when it's my birthday in the future, you don't have to celebrate it in a big way. If you want to wish me a happy birthday, just finish your studies well. If not, just send me a greeting card."
Zhou Mo nodded, "I understand."
Shen Qingyi: "Please tell the kids in the group not to give them expensive gifts. They're students and don't have much money. And everyone just donated money to Liu Kai recently, so they probably have less money for living expenses. Don't be extravagant."
"Okay," Zhou Mo said.
"Well, get busy," Shen Qingyi said.
Zhou Mo said goodbye and left Shen Qingyi's office.
In the research laboratory office.
Except for Liu Kai, almost everyone else is here.
Zhao Xiaoshuang was smart and decided to find out some military information first to see what gifts others were giving.
She started the conversation first and asked, "Brother Xiaochi, Sister Jiahui, what are you two planning to give to the teacher?"
Chi Zhouxu was about to speak when Tang Jiahui said, "It's a custom gift, keep it confidential."
Zhao Xiaoshuang was suddenly a little shocked. She turned to Ding Ning and asked, "Xiao Ding, what about you?"
Ding Ning looked up from the computer. "These are specialties my parents mailed to me."
Zhao Xiaoshuang felt that this was unoriginal, so she asked Zhang Lanlan, "Lanlan, what about you?"
Zhang Lanlan smiled smugly, "Sister Xiaoshuang, you can't always spy on us. What about you? What do you want to give me? Tell me and I'll talk."
"I..." Zhao Xiaoshuang was suddenly shocked. Zhang Lanlan was very smart and her question really stumped her for a moment.
Tang Jiahui took the opportunity to ask, "Yes, Xiaoshuang, what are you giving me?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "My senior sister and I will deliver it together. As for what we are delivering..." She really doesn't know.
Out of the corner of her eye she suddenly saw Zhou Mo appear at the door, and she quickly threw the question to him.
"You can ask senior sister," said Zhao Xiaoshuang.
When Zhou Mo entered the room, she heard Zhao Xiaoshuang suddenly cue her. She was confused because she didn't know anything. "What's wrong? What do you want to ask me?"
Zhang Lanlan said, "Senior Sister Xiaoshuang asked us what gifts we gave, and we also want to know what gifts you gave."
Zhou Mo suddenly said seriously, "Speaking of this, I have something to tell everyone. It just so happens that everyone is here. I just went to Director Shen's place, and she asked me to tell everyone that when it comes to birthday gifts, don't be extravagant. Just show your thoughtfulness."
When everyone heard the news, their expressions varied. Some were indifferent, some had frozen smiles on their faces, and some were at a loss for a moment.
Zhang Lanlan's face fell, and she was in disbelief. "Senior Sister, this isn't fake news, is it?"
Zhou Mo didn't bother to explain, "If you don't believe me, go ask Director Shen."
Zhang Lanlan was speechless for a moment.
Tang Jiahui also found it hard to believe, "Senior Sister, didn't we celebrate Director Shen's birthday last year? Senior Brother Suo even brought everyone together to give Director Shen a gift."
Zhou Mo knew what Tang Jiahui was suspicious of because she and Tang Jiahui had the same question.
The gift that Suo Donghao raised money to give to Shen Qingyi last year was not cheap.
Why did Shen Qingyi accept it last year but say he wouldn’t accept it this year?
Zhao Xiaoshuang took over the conversation, "What's there to guess? It's just a polite remark. Could it be that Director Shen didn't say this kind of thing, but would also say, try to pick the expensive ones and don't use the cheap ones to fool me?"
Zhou Mo slapped her as a punishment, "Don't talk nonsense, Director Shen is not that kind of person."
Zhao Xiaoshuang stuck out her tongue. "Let's not try to guess what the leader is thinking. We can't figure it out no matter how much we try. Let's just give him what he deserves."
Everyone nodded.
Zhou Mo said, "Just do your own thing. As for gifts, just do what you can."
Everyone threw themselves into their work.
Zhou Mo opened the document reader and saw WeChat messages popping up. She clicked on it and saw it was a message from Zhao Xiaoshuang.
She said: They are very tight-lipped and refuse to tell us what they are giving us. They are on guard against us.
