When Zhou Mo received the message from Shen Pan, he was accompanying Shen Qingyi to attend the graduation ceremony of Dongjiang Vocational and Technical College.
The ceremony was held in the auditorium of the Vocational and Technical College.
They sat in the guest seats behind the podium.
The leaders of Dongjiang University and Dongjiang Vocational and Technical College gave speeches on the stage respectively. Zhou Mo was bored, so he looked at his phone.
It was a photo of the marriage certificate sent by Shen Pan.
Zhou Mo thought to himself, Lu Zhishu is indeed a man of ideas. He dealt with his father-in-law and mother-in-law so quickly.
She said: Congratulations, now you are a married woman.
Chen Pan: Hehe, Lu Zhishu said that he wants to catch up with you and strive to surpass you.
Zhou Mo: ...
Chen Pan: I'll put some pressure on you. Announce it to Han Chen quickly, otherwise we will really overtake you.
Zhou Mo: ...
Chen Pan: I'm going to eat. Let's talk tonight.
Zhou Mo: In vain.
Fortunately, Shen Pan didn't continue this topic, otherwise she would have felt a little sour.
Of course, she wasn't the only one who was jealous. There was someone even more jealous than him.
A few minutes later, Han Chen sent her a message, asking: "What should I do?" Lu Zhishu is already in the second place and fighting for first place.
Zhou Mo: What do you mean by maintaining second place and fighting for first place?
Han Chen sent a screenshot of the chat.
It is the chat record in the "stabbing group" among the three of them.
It seems that Lu Zhishu sent the photo of the marriage certificate to the group of three of them.
Liang Dongyan was the first to jump out: "WHAT? Real evidence or fake evidence?"
Lu Zhishu: Real certificates are free, but fake certificates do cost money. What do you think?
Liang Dongyan: This isn’t photoshopped, is it?
Lu Zhishu: Shall I P one for you?
Liang Dongyan: No need, keep it for yourself.
Han Chen came online and accidentally saw the marriage certificate issued by Lu Zhishu. He slowly typed a "?".
Lu Zhishu@Han Chen said: Now I have also obtained the marriage certificate and am on the same starting line with you. Shen Pan and I have agreed that we will strive to maintain the second place and fight for the first place.
What this means is that getting the marriage certificate is the second one, but the next step... is to strive to get the first one.
Han Chen: ...
Lu Zhishu: If you and Zhou Mo continue to stay where you are, Shen Pan and I will overtake you in a matter of minutes. Do you believe it?
Han Chen: I have something to say. Let’s talk later.
Liang Dongyan: If you want to escape, just escape. Why pretend to be in trouble?
Han Chen's "escape" was exposed, and he sent the chat records to Zhou Mo.
After reading the remarks about “maintaining the second place and striving for the first place”, Zhou Mo asked: Isn’t there still Liang Dongyan?
Han Chen: Do you want to wait for Liang Dongyan to "maintain second place and fight for first place"?
Zhou Mo: ...
Han Chen: I don’t want to be surpassed by Lu Zhishu.
Zhou Mo: What do you want?
Han Chen: Let’s pick a time. I’ll treat Uncle Zhou and Aunt Liu to dinner.
Zhou Mo: I don’t have time recently. My father is in Yushan, and I have some things to do here. Can you come in a few days?
Han Chen: Okay, as soon as possible.
Zhou Mo: Look at you, you are still feeling wronged.
Han Chen: How can I not feel wronged?
Zhou Mo: We both have a marriage certificate, and you’ve shown it to others before.
Han Chen refused to admit it: When did I show off to others?
Zhou Mo: You had nothing better to do, so why did you keep your marriage certificate in your lab coat pocket? Ling Yuebin even took something out before, and you caught him red-handed. Do you dare say you weren't secretly delighted at the time?
Han Chen: ...
Zhou Mo: Pick a time to tell my parents. It’s not good to keep it a secret like a thief, and I feel bad too.
Han Chen: You set the time and I'll find the place.
Zhou Mo: [Deal].
In fact, both of them knew each other's feelings very well. Perhaps they were both strong-willed people at heart. Lu Zhishu's statement of "maintaining the second place and fighting for the first place" actually aroused the "fighting spirit" of both of them at the same time.
On the podium, after the leaders of the two schools spoke, teacher representatives came to the stage to speak.
The new teacher had an elegant temperament. She faced the audience with her back to the podium. Zhou Mo couldn't see her face clearly. She had a high ponytail, a simple white shirt with a suit and women's trousers, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes with stilettos. She looked simple and refreshing.
When she was introducing herself on the stage, Shen Qingyi was called away by an old classmate, and Zhou Mo was also playing with his mobile phone. He did not hear the teacher's self-introduction clearly, but only heard her passionate speech in the second half.
When she finished her speech, there was warm applause from all around, and Zhou Mo also applauded.
Zhou Mo was really anxious when she heard about this procedural thing. She just wanted the ceremony to be over quickly. She was still thinking about returning to college.
However, when the ceremony ended, Shen Qingyi did not show up.
Zhou Mo quickly sent a message to Shen Qingyi.
Shen Qingyi said that she had chatted with her old classmates for a long time, and asked Zhou Mo to find her where she parked.
Zhou Mo hurriedly packed up Shen Qingyi and his own things from their seats, and followed the crowd of people leaving down the stairs.
Sitting with them in the guest seats behind the podium were teachers from Dongjiang Vocational and Technical College.
As Zhou Mo walked, he heard the chattering voices of the vocational college teachers.
"Why was it Teacher Xiao Shen who was speaking just now? Didn't she just arrive? She doesn't even have enough seniority to be qualified?"
"Isn't it because of that big boss?"
"Is she really hooking up with that young man?"
"What do you mean by 'xiaokai'? He's a wealthy man. If our students didn't have so many factories offering them jobs, how could the school achieve the required employment rate?"
"I heard that the big boss has problems in some aspects."
"If she had no health problems, who would marry a woman of such unknown origin?"
"Keep your voice down."
"No need to keep your voice down, it's an open secret in the school."
Zhou Mo was in a hurry to meet Shen Qingyi. A few gossipers blocked her way, walking slowly and preventing her from passing.
"Sorry, I have something urgent to do. Can you please move aside first?" Zhou Mo smiled apologetically.
Several people cooperated very well and quickly made way for him. Zhou Mo passed by quickly and walked down the stairs in small steps.
Shen Qingyi's car was parked in the parking space in front of the school administration building. When Zhou Mo found it, he saw from a distance that Shen Qingyi was talking to another female teacher under a willow tree.
She didn't want to be disturbed, so she could only stand under a nearby willow tree and wait.
The sun in early summer is very strong, and there is no shade except under the willow trees.
Shen Qingyi saw Zhou Mo, reached out to her and asked her to come over.
Zhou Mo approached, carrying Shen Qingyi's bag. The woman opposite her saw Zhou Mo and continued what she hadn't finished saying: "That's all I know. You'd better ask clearly."
"It's not that I don't believe you, Teacher Li," Shen Qingyi said, "I just want to confirm again. Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"Xiao Huan is so beautiful, how could I be wrong? When Xiao Huan went abroad, I was the one who accompanied you to see her off."
Shen Qingyi was silent. "I called her a few days ago. She said she still had two courses to complete and was preparing to take the make-up exams. After passing the exams, she would get her diploma and would return to China. It's impossible for her to be in China now, and she's still in Dongjiang."
"Maybe... I'm just seeing things?" Teacher Li said, "We were at a signing ceremony with a company, and she was standing next to the boss. They looked like a couple."
