"Of course, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight," Liu Kai said embarrassedly.
"Okay, okay," Zhao Xiaoshuang said, "It's been a while since our group has had a meal together."
Zhou Mo suggested, "Teacher, how about we have a group dinner? You can come too, and ask Teacher Chu to come."
Shen Qingyi agreed: "Okay, thank you all for your hard work on the bidding documents some time ago, it's a good time to relax."
Zhao Xiaoshuang excitedly suggested, "Teacher, didn't we say last time that we should go to the hot springs?"
Zhou Mo patted her and said, "You are the only one with too many ideas."
Shen Qingyi smiled and said, "Next time, definitely next time."
Zhao Xiaoshuang pouted, knowing that Shen Qingyi was just making empty promises again.
Zhou Mo took the initiative to take charge of the arrangements. "I'll book the restaurant. Does anyone have any food ideas or suggestions?"
Shen Qingyi made the decision directly, "You decide it yourself, otherwise everyone will have different opinions and it will be difficult to coordinate."
Then she said to everyone, "For tonight's arrangements, all follow your senior sister's instructions. No doubts are allowed."
Zhou Mo looked at Shen Qingyi gratefully.
As the number of people in the group increases, disagreements become more and more serious, and a small matter can trigger a conflict.
Shen Qingyi made the final decision to avoid any complaints.
"By the way, are Jiahui and Xiaochi back?" Shen Qingyi asked.
"I came back last night. I heard that they both interviewed for a pharmaceutical company in Haicheng and both made it to the second round of interviews."
Shen Qingyi's face was filled with joy: "Not bad, just in time, let them come and celebrate together."
Zhao Xiaoshuang happily went to make a phone call.
After learning that they were coming, Shen Qingyi made the final decision, "Let's get off work today. Zhou Mo, you go book a restaurant."
"Okay, how about we go to the one we often go to?" Zhou Mo thought that it was close to the college and it would be convenient for his juniors to go back to the dormitory.
"It's boring to always go to the same place. Let's go to another one," Shen Qingyi said with a flash of inspiration. "'Zhu Lu Zhong Yuan', the black fish soup there tastes good. I'll take everyone there to try it."
Zhou Mo was inexplicably frightened when he heard the words "fight for the Central Plains".
Zhao Xiaoshuang asked, "What place is that?"
Zhang Lanlan, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up. "It's a famous restaurant in Dongjiang. Many wealthy people apply for membership cards there. I heard that the doctors at the First Hospital of Dongda University even give a 20% discount on the first year."
"How do you know?" Zhao Xiaoshuang looked at Zhang Lanlan. "Have you been there?"
"I also heard it from others." Zhang Lanlan said it with great lack of confidence, especially the word "others".
"Okay, let's talk about dinner after get off work. Let's get back to our own things," Shen Qingyi urged.
Inside the office, everyone continued to work hard.
Zhou Mo went to the corridor outside and called to reserve a seat for "Zhu Lu Zhongyuan".
After finishing everything, she put away her phone and turned around.
The sudden appearance of the figure startled her, "You scared me to death."
Liu Kai glanced at the office and asked, "Sister Mo, can I have a moment to talk?"
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhou Mo asked.
Liu Kai nodded.
The two of them went to the stairs at the end of the corridor.
Zhou Mo thought Liu Kai was asking her about financial aid, so she got straight to the point: "I asked the professors in the Graduate School Office, and there are two private financial aid programs you can apply for. However... I heard the competition is fierce, but I personally recommend you give it a try. You're excellent, so don't miss out. Also, you didn't apply for a student loan in your first year of graduate school, but you can apply for one this semester. I'll send you the specific documents you need to submit later."
"Thank you, Sister Mo," Liu Kai scratched his head, "but I didn't come to you to ask these things."
"Then come to me..." Zhou Mo was puzzled.
Liu Kai thought for a moment and said, "Although this isn't about the scholarship, I still want to say thank you...for accompanying me to the police station. I just said I'd treat everyone to a meal, and you suggested a group dinner. Are you worried about me spending the money?"
Zhou Mo smiled slightly. This was indeed her idea.
Liu Kai was already under great financial pressure, and treating everyone to a meal would only make things worse.
"I heard that you got a part-time job recently. What is it?" Zhou Mo was afraid that he would be cheated again like before.
"Copy editor, writing methodological articles for scientific research public accounts."
"That's great," Zhou Mo said, feeling very pleased. "I can make a summary and share it at the group meeting."
Liu Kai was encouraged and his confidence increased greatly, "Okay!"
"Also, do you have anything else on your mind recently?" Zhou Mo did not forget what Zhao Xiaoshuang said about Liu Kai being short of money.
The smile on Liu Kai's face froze and he lowered his head silently.
"It's okay, tell us what's going on. Maybe Director Shen can help solve it." Zhou Mo knew that Liu Kai was in trouble.
Liu Kai hesitated for a moment, "My dad...broke his leg, and he didn't heal it properly, so the bone got dislocated. He saw the doctor a few days ago, and he said he needed to reattach it."
Zhou Mo had heard of it.
Liu Kai's father was working at a construction site. Due to poor safety measures, he fell from the scaffolding. Fortunately, the floor was not high, but he still suffered multiple fractures in his lower limbs.
During that time, Liu Kai also took leave to go home for a while.
Shen Qingyi suggested asking Liu Kai's father to come to Dongjiang for treatment, but patients with fractures are difficult to transport and are prone to secondary injuries. In the end, they can only be treated in Liu Kai's hometown.
The medical level in small places is limited, and his father's condition is quite serious, so his condition is not optimistic.
"Have you taken the X-ray?" Zhou Mo asked.
"We took X-rays and did a bone CT scan. The doctor said the situation was complicated and asked us to go to a higher-level hospital." Liu Kai looked worried.
Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "Send me the flat film."
Liu Kai looked confused.
Zhou Mo said, "I'll find someone to show you."
Liu Kan immediately sent the photo of the flat film to Zhou Mo.
Back to the office.
Zhou Mo racked his brains to think of how to reasonably approach Han Chen about this.
