Upon learning that Xu Ke and Huang Zhiqiu used to be waiters working in a guesthouse, Yun Mo seemed to be thinking about something.
She had an inexplicable premonition that Xu Ke's visit might not just be to reminisce with old friends.
Judging from the last time Xu Ke visited the Zhao family and the other party’s attire, Xu Ke’s husband’s family has a high status in Anshi.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to avoid a poor old friend like Huang Zhiqiu, so how could he take the initiative to come to you?
Especially when Yun Mo learned that Huang Zhiqiu had a very ordinary relationship with Xu Ke when he worked in the guesthouse, her intuition became even stronger.
Thinking about this, Yun Mo directly reminded Huang Zhiqiu, "Mom, be careful with Aunt Xu and don't trust her too much."
Huang Zhiqiu nodded quickly, "I know. In fact, I can probably guess that she is coming for you, Momo."
Yun Mo was secretly surprised that Huang Zhiqiu had such sharp perception.
"You are now Mrs. Zhao's goddaughter, and your father-in-law is a subordinate of Vice President Zhao."
"If Aunt Xu's target is the Zhao family, then it's easy to deal with. Anyway, I will be back to Jiang City in a few days, so no matter how many schemes she has, they will be in vain."
Huang Zhiqiu was not a fool, and his heart suddenly tightened when he heard this.
When Xu Ke heard that her daughter was 18 years old, her attitude was a little strange, but she didn't think too much about it at the time.
Now that I think about it, Xu Ke might have doubted his daughter's background.
Although she did not tell anyone about what happened between her and Ye Shaoting that night, it was no secret in the guesthouse that Ye Shaoting and she were in close contact during that period.
Fortunately, there was no news about Ye Shaoting after he left Anshi, so it didn't matter even if Xu Ke guessed it.
After coming out of the bamboo weaving factory, Xu Ke immediately found a telephone booth in a panic.
"...I went to see Huang Zhiqiu today, and I also saw her daughter. Her daughter is already 18 years old. Will it be possible, will it be possible..."
"Why are you panicking? Even if it is true, so what? As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will know about it!"
The woman on the other end of the phone spoke in a calm and unhurried voice, with a hint of arrogance, "You continue to keep a close eye on him, and report to me at any time if anything happens. I have already arranged for your son to go to Beijing to study."
Xu Ke's worry turned into joy. "I know. Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on them."
—
In the blink of an eye, it was already No. 11.
After breakfast, Yun Mo took Huang Qingning to Tiezhong to take the entrance examination.
On the way, seeing Huang Qingning's nervous hands clenched into fists, Yun Mo told Huang Qingning how she was wrongly accused of cheating but eventually cleared herself of the grievance through her own strength, just like telling a story.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Huang Qingning immediately turned into an angry fighter and was no longer nervous.
The process of waiting for the exam was dull and tedious, so Yun Mo simply picked up a Chinese test book, leaned against the wall, held the test book in one hand, and wrote down the answers in her mind.
"Sit down and write."
When I was concentrating on solving the problem, a deep and elegant voice suddenly sounded beside me.
Yun Mo instinctively turned her head and met a pair of gentle and smiling eyes.
Like the sunshine on a spring morning, my heart is filled with warmth.
"Thanks."
The other person's eyes moved from her face to the physics problem book, "Are you a senior high school student?"
Yun Mo nodded lightly.
If it were any other stranger, Yun Mo would generally not pay any more attention to him.
But meeting the other party's gentle eyes, Yun Mo couldn't help but explain, "I'm not a student of Tiezhong. I'm here to accompany my cousin to take the exam."
The other person glanced at the classroom behind her, smiled and nodded, without asking any more questions.
Yun Mo sat on the chair and continued to solve the problem with her head down.
The other party's aura and presence were too strong to be ignored. Yun Mo's train of thought was affected, so she simply closed the question book and turned to chat with the other party.
“Are you a teacher?”
"no."
“Is that the school leader?”
Perhaps she thought Yun Mo's question was very interesting, so she smiled gently and said, "I was just passing by and came to see an old friend."
I didn't notice it before, but after chatting for a few sentences, I can tell that the other person's accent doesn't sound like that of a local in Anshi.
At this moment, a series of noisy footsteps came towards this side.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked quickly over with a few people who looked like school leaders.
"Okay, I have to go now. Bye."
"goodbye."
After saying goodbye to her, she was surrounded by several school leaders and left like a star.
Yun Mo didn't look away until the group of people disappeared at the stairs.
Just now, she heard those people calling him, Mr. Shao.
Yun Mo pursed her lips and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and quickly chased after the group of people.
The school hadn't started yet and the entire campus was deserted. Yun Mo quickly followed the sound and found the meeting room.
The door of the meeting room was ajar, and through the crack one could see a not-so-serious negotiation going on inside.
That person sat at the head of the conference table, and everyone else sat below.
Yun Mo found a place farther away from the door and waited.
After a while, the door of the meeting room opened, and the middle-aged man in a suit came out and walked straight towards her.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
Yun Mo’s first reaction was that the man had discovered her, so he sent someone out to question her.
"I'm Mr. Shao's assistant, my last name is Liang."
"Assistant Liang, could you tell me your boss's name, please?"
Assistant Liang shook his head, "Sorry, it's not convenient."
Yun Mo thought for a moment and said, "You can tell me whether his name is two characters or three characters. Is that okay?"
Assistant Liang was a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "It's two words."
"Got it. Thank you."
Walking out of the office building where the meeting room was located, Yun Mo couldn't help but complain that she was too sensitive. There were so many people with the last name Shao in the world, how could it be such a coincidence that he was that person.
Not long after Yun Mo returned to the teaching building, the exam was over.
Huang Qingning rushed out of the classroom like a butterfly, "Cousin!"
"How did you do on the test?"
Huang Qingning nodded, "Cousin, you are amazing. You got many questions right!"
Hearing this, several other candidates and parents looked at him with surprise and envy.
Yun Mo didn't want to be high-profile, so she quickly pulled Huang Qingning away.
After the meeting, Shao Lin prepared to leave by car accompanied by school leaders.
Before getting on the bus, he subconsciously looked towards the teaching building.
The corridor was empty, and the girl was no longer there.
As an assistant, Liang Kuan could naturally guess what his boss was thinking. After getting in the car, he took the initiative to report the content of his conversation with Yun Mo.
Shao Lin smiled after hearing this, "The little girl is quite interesting."
The boss rarely praised someone, so Liang Kuan naturally had to cooperate, "Yes, not only is he likable, but he also has a generous personality, and..."
After taking a look, he put away his smile and looked calmly at the man outside the car window, then Liang Kuan swallowed the rest of his words silently.
——Very similar to you.
