Zhang Lanlan: Yes.
Zhou Mo: This is also good. Give yourself a break and rest. Don't worry, Director Shen and I will support you.
Zhang Lanlan: Thank you, senior sister.
Zhou Mo: It's okay. It's getting late, go to bed.
Zhang Lanlan: You should go to sleep too.
Zhou Mo looked at the screen and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Zhang Lanlan is determined to return to her studies, everything will be easy in the future.
Han Chen snatched the phone from Zhou Mo's hand and turned to charge it. "Now that the big thing is over, you feel a lot more relaxed, right?"
"Of course, I even felt like saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda," Zhou Mo said. "Luckily, Director Shen was kind and acted quickly. As soon as she took action, Zhang Lanlan was convinced."
"Your mentor is truly qualified. There aren't many teachers who are this qualified."
"Yes," Zhou Mo said, "I admire her more and more. Also, although she studied abroad, she's not a Westernized person. Many professors these days, after a few years of studying abroad, return to China and become all-M and R-savvy, constantly raving about how great things are abroad and how bad things are back home. After all these years of research, they can't even offer the most basic intellectual critique. They do research and write papers just to get money. There's even a professor in our college who studied abroad in Japan and flies to Tokyo every year for his professor's birthday, giving him incredibly expensive gifts. It feels like... they're not even this filial to their own parents."
"It's incredibly common," Han Chen said. "When I was abroad, half of the Chinese students in our lab chose to stay in China instead of returning. Giving gifts and using backdoors to secure a recommendation from their advisor was commonplace. To that end, that university even set up a 'green channel' specifically for Chinese international students. As long as they donated a certain amount of money to the school before enrolling, they could gain admission and receive a recommendation letter from the best professor on campus, allowing them to join the university. It's a classic example of exploiting wealthy Chinese students, but they still can't stop the wealthy from jumping in."
"Don't they all say that foreign countries are better and don't care about personal relationships?"
"Do you believe it?"
Zhou Mo shook his head.
"Wherever there are people, there are favors. The only difference is the favors of the rich and the poor."
Zhou Mo looked at Han Chen and said, "I see."
Han Chen was surprised: "Why are you staring at me?"
Zhou Mo: "Have you forgotten how you transferred here and squeezed me out of the red list?"
Han Chen was helpless: "I was wrong."
Zhou Mo snorted: "This is what you call 'favors from the rich'."
Han Chen: "It seems you're obsessed with this and can't forget it. Is this my eternal black history?"
Zhou Mo: "Okay."
Han Chen: "I apologize to you."
Zhou Mo: "If you don't accept my apology, you have deeply hurt my heart."
Han Chen: "Didn't you get revenge? You don't know how sad I was after we broke up."
Zhou Mo: "You finally admitted it?"
Han Chen: "Okay, so you're trying to trick me."
Zhou Mo stuck out his tongue, "Who told you not to admit it?"
Han Chen: "Don't just talk about me, you didn't admit it either."
Zhou Mo: "What do I admit?"
Han Chen: "You are also very sad about breaking up with me."
Zhou Mo: "I'm not sad, I'm just hurt by you. Back then, I tried so hard, but someone was still indifferent."
Han Chen: "Who said that?"
Zhou Mo: "You still want to use money to get rid of me, what do you think of me?"
Han Chen: "I really want to make it up to you. I don't know how to do it, and I didn't think too much about it. Who knew you misunderstood."
Zhou Mo: "Forget it, I forgive you."
Han Chen: "Thank you, my wife. You are very generous."
…
The next day.
Zhou Mo was just about to have a detailed discussion with Shen Qingyi about Zhang Lanlan's suspension of school and how to give a reasonable explanation to the people in the group. After all, Zhang Lanlan's miscarriage was still a secret.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
She had seen how sharp the spit of the School of Health Management was. If Zhang Lanlan's affair were to be leaked, she probably would never want to continue her studies.
Today's society has gradually formed a distorted set of public opinion values, as if the victims always deserve what they get.
Even the basic goodwill between people has disappeared.
Zhou Mo always felt that she could not help others or pursue noble morals, but at least she had to maintain the most basic kindness of a person.
So as for Zhang Lanlan, she would avoid causing her unnecessary trouble if she could.
It may have been very difficult for Zhang Lanlan to take a leave of absence from school for a period of time and make the decision to come back. There is no need to add the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Zhou Mo, come here, I was looking for you too," Shen Qingyi waved at Zhou Mo, "Come here and help me take a look at these bags and skirts. Which one would a girl of your age like?"
Zhou Mo took a quick look and found that they were all popular brands and styles.
"Are you going to give anyone a gift?"
"My daughter's birthday is coming up soon, and I'm looking for a present for her," Shen Qingyi sighed. "She doesn't have any hobbies, and she doesn't like to dress up. She doesn't look like a lady at all. I don't know what she'd like, so I wanted to ask you if you have any good suggestions."
"What a coincidence! My friend also had her birthday recently, and I gave her a bottle of perfume."
"Perfume? That's great," Shen Qingyi said, "You don't have to choose the color or style. I'll give you perfume too. Which one are you going to give you? Can you recommend one to me?" Shen Qingyi handed the phone to Zhou Mo.
"Sure," Zhou Mo took the phone and searched for the one she bought for Shen Pan yesterday, "It's only over 400 yuan, not expensive."
"Uh..." Zhou Mo felt a little awkward, "Mainly, I don't have much money."
Shen Qingyi realized that his words seemed offensive, and immediately explained, "That's not what I meant. It's... well, my daughter's father loves her very much and gives her the best of everything. I'm afraid... this price... can't compare to what her father gave her."
"Gifts are about the thought, not the price," Zhou Mo said. "Your love for her is no less than her father's. As a child, you can definitely feel it. If it were me... no matter what gift my parents gave me, I would be very happy."
"Really?" Shen Qingyi asked unconfidently.
"Really." Zhou Mo was very sure.
Shen Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and buy this perfume. This is the kind that all the girls like nowadays, right?"
"It's not a hit, how should I put it..." Zhou Mo said, "People who like it will really like it, and people who don't like it will really dislike it. The polarization is quite serious."
"Ah? Is that so?" Shen Qingyi hesitated.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. If it's not a hit, it means we put a lot of thought into the product selection. If everyone is selling a hit, what differentiation is there?"
