"They know too?" Zhou Mo was surprised.
"Isn't there a very capable young postdoctoral teacher upstairs? Ren Huaibo bought milk tea for people every day some time ago, and he always went upstairs to chat with people. The people in the upstairs group disliked him, and they all knew that he was fawning over that teacher in order to get the ready-made algorithm code. He asked for the code just to publish articles, so they called him an 'academic corrupt official'." Liu Kai said with great disdain.
"This guy is so disgusting," Zhao Xiaoshuang said. It was the first time she had encountered such a shameless and eager person. "I thought the people in the West Building were disgusting enough, but I didn't expect there would be someone like Ren Huaibo."
He didn't seem to have done anything to harm others for his own benefit, but the way he tried to curry favor with others purely for his own sake was more uncomfortable than eating shit.
"Before, he was always rushing to stick to you, Senior Sister, and now he's rushing to stick to others. Does he think he's a potsticker?"
Zhou Mo was originally quite depressed, but when he heard Zhao Xiaoshuang's word "pot stickers", his defense was instantly broken and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Even Liu Kai who was standing beside him burst into laughter.
After finally suppressing his smile, Liu Kai thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Brother Guotie was just scolded by Teacher Chu. I was passing by and secretly listened in for a while."
"Why am I being scolded?" Zhao Xiaoshuang has already accepted the title of "Pot Sticker Brother" for someone.
"He just went to the group upstairs to curry favor with the young postdoc teacher. Teacher Chu is his junior supervisor. Which teacher wouldn't be angry if Guotie brother did this?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang said angrily, "If I were Teacher Chu, Guotie-ge would forget about graduating and would have to delay his graduation until he dropped out."
Liu Kai: "You're just daydreaming. Teacher Chu is so anxious to train a student. What Guotie did actually made Teacher Chu even more concerned. Otherwise, Teacher Chu wouldn't have said that. He would definitely give him an article so that he would have the confidence to apply for the Chenghai Scholarship."
Zhou Mo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "So he's been waiting here."
"Senior Sister, you should also participate in the selection," Zhao Xiaoshuang said. "Knock him out of the competition. I really can't stand him stirring up trouble."
"Yes, senior sister, this award is available to each college. You can participate and beat him. I don't want to see 'Pot Sticker Brother' get the scholarship." Liu Kai also said.
Zhou Mo looked at the two people's expectant eyes, and she became more determined. She said, "Okay. Even if I'm not there, there are still others in our school. If he wants to win the award... I'm not the only one who can compete with him. Regardless of whether I win or not, as long as he doesn't win, this competition won't be in vain."
Sometimes, even if you cannot defeat your opponent yourself, it is a very satisfying thing to watch your opponent be defeated by someone else.
Zhou Mo began to organize the materials carefully that day.
She hadn't finished when she got off work in the afternoon.
Everyone else in the office had left, except Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang, who showed no intention of leaving.
Zhou Mo thought to himself, he didn't leave because he was preparing award materials. When did Zhao Xiaoshuang become so serious?
"Aren't you going to get off work?" Zhou Mo asked.
Zhao Xiaoshuang was staring at the computer screen in a daze. When she heard Zhou Mo's question, she came back to her senses. "Ah? Oh, check something."
"What? Are you planning to talk about literature next week?" Zhou Mo asked casually.
"No," Zhao Xiaoshuang hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "When I heard about the Chenghai Scholarship before, it sounded familiar, so I looked up the Chenghai Group..."
"What did you find out?" Zhou Mo asked.
"Don't you think this 'Cheng Hai' sounds familiar?"
"No." Zhou Mo didn't realize there was anything wrong.
"'Chenghai'... Fu Chenghai... doesn't it sound familiar to you?"
After Zhao Xiaoshuang's guidance, Zhou Mo instantly realized the problem. "Is this 'Chenghai' Group related to Fu Chenghai?"
"Yes," Zhao Xiaoshuang said, "I looked up the company's equity structure on Tianyancha. There's another company that's a shareholder. I looked up another company and found that the legal representative of that company is related to one of Fu Chenghai's mattress factories. But Fu Chenghai isn't a direct shareholder of the Chenghai Group, so it's hard to say whether they have any connection. But I'm 100% sure that the mattress factory is Fu Chenghai's company, even though he's not the legal representative and isn't listed in the shareholder information."
"He is neither the legal person nor a shareholder. How can you be sure it is his company?" Zhou Mo wondered.
"I've been around Blue, after all, so I've heard a bit about it. I used to know a bartender there, and he said the hotel upstairs from Blue actually has the same owner, and that the mattresses in that hotel come from Fu Chenghai's factory. The bartender said that Blue's boss negotiates business directly with Fu Chenghai, without going through anyone else. If he can knock on the door directly, then what is he if not the real boss?"
"Have you been to Blue again recently?"
"No, weren't Sister Jiahui and the others busy with their defense during this period? I just went along to help, so I haven't been there since."
Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's better not to go to that kind of place."
Although she really wanted to meet Fu Chenghai's wife...
Zhou Mo felt a little regretful. When she met the woman who looked very similar to Shen Pan in the elevator in Green Island, she should have rushed out to confront her and find out the truth.
It also saves her from having to think hard about it.
I wanted to tell Chen Pan, but I was afraid that my speculation without much evidence would cause her trouble and make her feel unwell.
Zhou Mo stared at the computer screen for a while, then she turned off the computer and took out her cell phone to send a message to Chen Pan.
She asked: "Little girl, how are you doing recently? Have you met Lu Zhishu's family?"
Chen Pan: I have seen it.
Zhou Mo: How is it? Are you easy to get along with?
Chen Pan: How should I put it...it's quite complicated...
Zhou Mo: Speak slowly.
Chen Pan: His mother is a nice person.
Zhou Mo: This is a good thing.
Chen Pan: But I feel that she likes me not because of who I am, but... because I am nothing.
Zhou Mo: You are you, what do you mean you are nothing?
Chen Pan: No, I mean... because my identity is ordinary, nothing special. I feel that Lu Zhishu's family is quite depressed except for him. Everyone else is living well, only he is out of place.
Zhou Mo: What’s going on?
Chen Pan: I don't know what kind of magic trick his brother used on his parents, but his parents are too partial to his brother. I think the reason why her mother treats me well is because I am just an ordinary person, not a prominent figure, and she won't give Lu Zhishu any support to compete with his brother for the family business.
Zhou Mo: What weird parents? Could it be that Lu Zhishu isn't their biological son?
Chen Pan: I was curious too, so I asked Lu Zhishu about it. Lu Zhishu said that he also had doubts and secretly did a paternity test.
Zhou Mo: What’s the result?
Chen Pan: They are my biological children.
Zhou Mo: ...
Chen Pan: It's really speechless, right? I feel the same way.
Zhou Mo: No wonder Lu Zhishu couldn’t stay in the imperial capital.
Chen Pan: Never mind. I've got my household registration booklet now. Lu Zhishu said he'd accompany me back home in a few days.
