"Okay," Ding Ning interrupted him, "let's just let this matter pass. I won't mention it again."
Qi Yan saw that Ding Ning seemed to be letting go of their grudge and scratched his head in embarrassment. "How about I treat you to lunch at noon? You didn't eat yesterday..."
"Let's put this matter behind us," Ding Ning said. "You saved me and got injured again, and I haven't thanked you properly yet. Now that your hand is healed and you can use chopsticks, just eat as much as you want this time."
Qi Yan smiled sheepishly, "Okay, then I won't be polite either."
"Yeah," Ding Ning also smiled.
Being straightforward has its advantages. It means not making excuses or shirking responsibilities, which makes the host feel less tired.
Seeing this, Zhou Mo suddenly felt a sense of relief like an old mother, similar to the relief she felt when she saw a family living in harmony.
I originally thought it would be great to get a free barbecue meal, at least I could save money on lunch today.
Who knew that what Ding Ning ordered was actually "Fighting for the Central Plains".
There are special delivery staff there, and the packaging is very exquisite. Basically, there is no take-out box. Even the porcelain plates for the dishes are delivered.
Zhao Xiaoshuang was surprised to learn that Zhulu Zhongyuan also offered delivery. "This plate... isn't being recycled? So they're just giving it to us?"
"How much is this plate worth?" Qi Yan said.
"Oh," Zhao Xiaoshuang realized that her understanding was too shallow.
After eating so much takeout in takeout boxes, I feel that all delivery food must be packed in takeout boxes.
The purpose of take-out boxes is to reduce the cost of merchants. The price of the dish "Zhu Lu Zhongyuan"... do you still care about the money for these few plates?
"Xiao Ding, have you suddenly become rich?" Zhao Xiaoshuang couldn't help but be surprised when looking at the seven dishes on the conference room table. Even if these dishes were eaten in the "Zhulu Zhongyuan" restaurant, they would cost at least a few hundred yuan, plus the delivery fee... there was no telling how expensive they would be.
Ding Ning smiled sweetly and said, "Just think of me as having made a fortune, right?"
"Huh? What's going on?" Zhao Xiaoshuang asked, "The school won't cancel your award qualification?"
"No," Ding Ning said with a mysterious smile, "someone knew I was sad about this, so they paid for it out of their own pocket."
"Yo yo yo," Zhao Xiaoshuang seemed to have caught some clues. She nudged Ding Ning with her hips and whispered, "Is this your boyfriend?"
Ding Ning lowered her head shyly and replied softly, "Yeah."
"Wow," Zhao Xiaoshuang teased, "Looks like Xiao Ding's spring is coming soon."
"Senior Sister Xiaoshuang, please stop teasing me," Ding Ning's face flushed red. "Come on, eat! Aren't you all hungry?"
"Eat, eat," Zhou Mo also said, but his eyes unconsciously fell on Qi Yan.
I thought he would be very sad after hearing the news, but he wasn't at all. His eyes were all on the plate of shrimps on the table, and he seemed to have turned a deaf ear to what Zhao Xiaoshuang and Ding Ning had just said.
It seems Qi Yan has also let it go.
Good.
"Is this the first time that all the students in our group have had a dinner together?" Zhao Xiaoshuang suddenly realized.
Everyone was stunned.
It seems so.
"How about asking Director Shen to come along?" Liu Kai asked.
"She went to the central campus and is not here," Zhou Mo said.
"What a pity," Liu Kai said, "If Director Shen were here, our group could have a complete reunion."
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future," Zhou Mo comforted him, "Now that Xiao Ding and Xiao Qi have reconciled, we shouldn't be afraid of not having opportunities in the future, right?"
She glanced at the two of them.
Ding Ning and Qi Yan looked at each other, and both smiled and said "hmm".
It seems there is no problem.
"By the way, Xiao Ding, you can let Xiao Qi take a look at your review first. He has written it before and has experience," Zhou Mo said.
"Okay," Ding Ning said.
"No, no, no," Qi Yan evaded. "Senior Sister, please don't torture me. I... I nearly went bald when I wrote that article. Later, my teacher revised it over and over again before I finally finished something like this. I don't want to write a review anymore. Please spare me."
"Where is that meta-analysis?" Zhou Mo asked.
"That was also done by a PhD senior who taught me," Qi Yan said, "Actually... I... have average abilities, but I have a good memory, good study habits, and good test-taking skills... Otherwise..."
Zhou Mo covered his lips and chuckled, "You are quite honest."
Qi Yan did not hide the fact that although he was the only author of his two articles, they were actually completed under the strong guidance of others. He also did not hide the fact that he did not play any key role in them. He did participate, but it was limited to participation.
Everyone knows what level an undergraduate graduate has.
Without strong "help" from people behind the scenes, how can we expect undergraduate students to conduct scientific research?
This is a bit of a pipe dream.
But Qi Yan did not hide his lack of ability, but said it openly, which added to his upright character.
This guy has a really straight mind and won't think erratically.
"It's enough that you participated," Zhou Mo said, "at least it shows that you did it yourself."
That's enough.
Being able to become a top-tier artist is also Qi Yan's own ability, no matter whether this "ability" comes from his family or his personal ability.
At least Qi Yan can face himself and realize that he is not worthy of his position.
Unlike some academic Lao Ai, he never had a clear understanding of himself.
Now he is trying to "cheat" the scholarship by "cheating".
Whatever you think will come true.
While they were enjoying a feast in the conference room, Ren Huaibo came in angrily.
I guess they couldn't find them in the office, so they came to the conference room to look for them.
Without even knocking, he pushed the door open and said, "You are here!"
Zhou Mo had just peeled a shrimp, and before she could put it in her mouth, she put the shrimp down, took off her gloves, and looked up at Ren Huaibo coldly.
"What's up?"
Ren Huaibo stepped forward angrily and demanded, "Have you known about my PPT for a long time?"
He then turned to look at Liu Kai fiercely, "It's you! It must be you who secretly looked at the contents of my network disk!"
Liu Kai was immediately frightened. After all, what Ren Huaibo said was true and he couldn't refute it.
"What is that?" Zhou Mo pretended to be stupid.
Zhao Xiaoshuang immediately understood what Zhou Mo meant and asked, "Yeah, what was that? Liu Kai, what were you secretly looking at? How many T seeds?"
Liu Kai instantly understood Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang's thoughts, and he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
He also pretended to be stupid and asked Ren Huaibo, "Brother, do you have any torrents in your network disk?"
This time it was Ren Huaibo's turn to stand there in a daze.
Looking at the three people in front of him, all with innocent and confused expressions, he was in a trance for a moment.
"The school sent someone to check your personal achievements and supporting documents. Wasn't it because you filed a complaint that the school sent someone to check?"
"What are you complaining about?" Liu Kai asked.
