Su Mo was speechless.
Liang Lu was a domestic expert in brain surgery, but she described her newest research project as choosing between a kitchen knife or a fruit knife to cut a watermelon. The corners of his mouth twitched, but his eyes smiled.
This description was unique to Qiao Nian!
So wild and free.
She was so sharp and direct!
“Very well.” No longer hesitating, he took the documents from Qiao Nian. He smiled and said, “Then, I will take this to the finance department and let them follow up with the author of this research project.”
“Let me take a look at the author’s name.”
He looked and saw the name at the end of the title page. The author’s name was Shen Yugui.
Su Mo smiled and said, “Shen Yugui, that is a nice-sounding name.”
Shen Yugui?
Qiao Nian raised her eyelids a little and found the name a little familiar. When she decided that she would study in Qing University’s Chinese Medicine Faculty, she read up on the faculty. This included the teachers within the faculty. She remembered seeing a teacher with this name.
…
On the other side, after separating from Fu Ge, Qiao Chen returned home.
“I’m back.”
Today was one of the rare times when Shen Jingyan was home. He was on the phone in the living room. When Qiao Chen arrived, he had also just ended his call.
Seeing her, he put his cell phone away and said kindly, “Back so soon? How was school today?”
Speaking of Qing University, Qiao Chen yearned to study there.
The campus was even more beautiful than she had imagined. The learning atmosphere was very positive. People were studying diligently everywhere on the pathways around the school. As long as she managed to enter Qing University, her future would be secured.
However…
A dark cloud loomed over Qiao Chen’s heart. She didn’t know how to tell him. Facing Shen Jingyan’s concern, her eyes twinkled. She grabbed her clothes and said briefly, “It was fine.”
Shen Jingyan didn’t notice her subtle emotions. He laughed heartily and patted her on the shoulder. “Qing University is top-notch in China. As long as you make it into this school, it will be easier for your uncle to introduce you to his friends in the future.
“Chen Chen, are you confident for tomorrow?”
Qiao Chen looked at him hesitantly and wanted to tell him what she saw at school today.
About Master Nie asking someone to retrieve Qiao Nian’s file. She wanted to ask Shen Jingyan to check whether Qiao Nian knew Master Nie.
And also the relationship between them.
However, she hesitated. She was afraid that once Shen Jingyan was aware of this, he would place more attention on Qiao Nian and not care much about her anymore.
Qiao Chen weighed the benefits and costs in her heart. Finally, under Shen Jingyan’s heavy gaze, she nodded seriously. “Yes, I have confidence.”
Shen Jingyan was unaware of what happened in school. Let alone the fact that Master Nie, who had not gone to Qing University for a long time, had specially gone to Qing University to retrieve Qiao Nian’s file. He only looked at his niece who had made rapid progress in the past month and smiled in satisfaction.
Qiao Chen had made great progress this month and was almost guaranteed a place in Qing University. He had already bragged to his friends about having a niece who was going to sit for the Qing University’s entrance examination. He was only waiting for Qiao Chen to pass before treating everyone to a big banquet.
“It’s good to have confidence. Your examination is tomorrow and you have to get up early. Sleep early, don’t stay up too late tonight.” He patted Qiao Chen on the shoulder, encouraged her a little, and let her return to her room for some revision.
…
Once upstairs, Qiao Chen immediately closed the door and locked herself in the room.
The Shen Family did not prepare a bedroom for her, she slept in the guest room.
The room wasn’t as big as her room in Rao City. The bed was also not as soft. The whole room was filled mainly with the clothes and skincare products she bought. There was also a lone computer. This room did not have the warmth of her home.
Qiao Chen bit her lips and walked slowly over to her desk. She sat down with a heavy heart.
After thinking for a while, she took out her cell phone and sent a message to Fu Ge.
She then sat there and waited for his reply.
Her phone finally lit up after a long time.
Qiao Chen couldn’t wait to open the message. But Fu Ge’s reply seemed very distant and consisted of a short paragraph.
[Qing University’s enrollment examinations depend only on results and not connections. Even if Master Nie looks at her file, she must still pass the written examination. Her grades have always been inferior to yours. She has little chance of passing the examinations! Just have a good rest and do not worry about the examinations. She cannot surpass you.]
