Ever since the rumors about Qian Zhe and Kong Shan happened, Chen Tong took the key to the logistics office back from Xiao Xia, and usually treated her like a thief when he was at work.

Xiao Xia came out with a pale face, "Sister Chen, I just want to stay and help you."

Chen Tong replied disdainfully: "Didn't I tell you to go home quickly? I have helpers, do I need your help? Look, it's already past 5:20. If you go back late, your mother will be worried again."

A question mark popped up in Liu Yang’s head: why should he be anxious again?

After sending Xiao Xia away, Chen Tong snorted coldly, "Now, the more I see her, the more annoyed I am. Just a few days ago, the logistics department had to sort out the purchase list for last month, and I got off work half an hour late. Her mother called me, and she spoke politely, but every word she said was questioning whether I had embarrassed her precious daughter."

Liu Yang declined to comment on Teacher Xu's actions.

Teacher Xu used to be the original owner's mother, but she did not give the original owner the maternal love she deserved. Now she is Xiao Xia's mother and has no relationship with the original owner, so there is no need for my own evaluation.

So Liu Yang just listened as Chen Tong expressed his dissatisfaction with Teacher Xu and Xiao Xia without saying a word.

Chen Tong’s home is not far from the food factory, but it still takes more than ten minutes to get there on foot.

"Chief Chen, let me help you cook later." Liu Yang started a new topic.

Chen Tong was a little surprised, "You can cook?"

"Mom, aren't you making a fuss out of nothing? Liu Yang has been in the cafeteria for a week, and those new dishes were developed by her and the chefs." Qian Zhe reminded her.

Chen Tong also remembered that she had eaten all the new dishes served in the cafeteria. Recalling those dishes, she asked Liu Yang, "Can you make pickled fish? We just happen to have a black fish at home."

"I can do it. Leave it to me." Liu Yang agreed confidently. "If there is meat, I can also make four-happiness meatballs and green pepper stewed pork."

These dishes are what Liu Yang cooks most often. Although they are not as good as those of the hotel chef, they taste pretty good. At least she enjoys eating them.

Chen Tong was happy. Originally, she had to cook for three guests by herself, but now Liu Yang could help and three main dishes were prepared at once. She only needed to stir-fry two more vegetables. Isn't this a lot easier?

"Then hurry up, let's walk faster. We still have a lot of meat at home. Let Xiaozhe chop the meat into minced meat." Chen Tong pulled Liu Yang and quickened their pace.

This was the first time that Liu Yang visited Chen Tong's home. She did not come empty-handed. After entering the door, she took out the gifts she had prepared from her bag. This time, she used her expertise to draw an oil painting for Chen Tong.

"Chief Chen, I don't know what you like, so I drew a picture for you. I saw this in a magazine." Liu Yang painted a desert rose, which dares to love and hate. She felt that it was a good match for Chen Tong.

Chen Tong liked it so much that she immediately asked Qian Zhe to take down the painting in the living room and replace it with the one painted by Liu Yang.

Seeing this painting, even Qian Zhe was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that you have such a good talent for art. If the professor of the Fine Arts Department of Huajiang University saw this, he would probably snatch you from Sister Shan."

Liu Yang said modestly: "I just copied. It's not a talent. I just tried it. It's just a hobby at most."

"This is a good hobby, suitable for girls." Chen Tong liked Liu Yang more and more. Seeing her paintings and thinking about her hands holding paintbrushes, she almost didn't want to let her go into the kitchen.

It was already past five forty, and Kong Shan and Professor Kong agreed to arrive before six-thirty, so there was no time to waste. Liu Yang took the apron handed to him by Chen Tong and started working right away.

The fish was killed in the morning, so all that was needed was to clean it and cut it. Qian Zhe knew how to chop the minced meat and also washed the green peppers and put them aside. There were also a few vegetables that Chen Tong was responsible for, so Liu Yang didn't take care of them.

Half an hour later, Kong Shan and Professor Kong arrived, and dishes were coming out of the kitchen one after another. Soon, a table full of food and people were ready.

"I invited Professor Kong to dinner today mainly to ask you if you are still accepting students?" Before pouring the first glass of wine, Chen Tong went straight to the point and stated her purpose for the evening.

Liu Yang also realized that he didn't invite Professor Kong and Kong Shan to dinner to ask Professor Kong to help him with science, but he invited them specifically for himself.

Although Professor Kong knew it, he deliberately looked at Liu Yang with an unhappy look, "Did you ask Chen Tong and Xiaozhe for help? If you want me to accept you as a student, you can come to the school to find me directly, instead of this method. Young man, it's not good to use connections to get in through the back door."

This is simply a life-threatening question. Whether you deny it or admit it, it is wrong.

If I deny it, the person who helped me will be embarrassed. If I admit it, I will really become someone who uses connections to get in through the back door.

Liu Yang stood up and did not directly answer Professor Kong's question. Instead, he said sincerely, "Thank you, Professor Kong. I will definitely go to Huajiang University to find you. You can give me some questions to test me and see if I have the ability to be your student."

Professor Kong laughed. "This kid is quite smart. He doesn't panic when faced with problems and knows how to avoid the important issues. If you want to learn science well, sometimes you just have to be patient and a little smart. A few days ago, a student in my class solved the additional questions I asked in a very novel way. Even I didn't know it could be solved that way. Young people nowadays are amazing."

Liu Yang only then realized that when Professor Kong questioned him so harshly just now, everyone present was very calm, as if this was not the first time.

"My dad is testing you. Congratulations, Liu Yang. You can come and audit my dad's class for free. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him to answer your questions after class." Kong Shan gave the most authoritative explanation in response to Professor Kong's reaction just now.

Chen Tong also told Liu Yang confidently, "Professor Kong has accepted you. You are luckier than Xiaozhe. Xiaozhe's entrance exam that year was a full 100 science papers. He stayed alone in the guesthouse. Professor Kong sent someone to deliver his three meals. He was not allowed to go out until he finished his work."

One hundred? One test paper takes at least an hour to complete. Doing five in one day would be a headache. How long has Qian Zhe been locked up?

Seeing Liu Yang's face full of confusion and sympathy, Qian Zhe said nonchalantly, "Only a week."

A week? Doing more than a dozen papers a day? Is he doing papers all the time except when sleeping and eating?

Liu Yang suddenly had the urge to pray to the heavens. If this happened to him, he would probably be killed.

Compared with Qian Zhe, I am indeed not a bit lucky.

Just when Liu Yang was feeling a little proud, Professor Kong said, "It was just a small on-the-spot test. I only got to know your personality. As for your foundation in science, you still need to take the test paper to evaluate it. Xiaozhe had 100 papers at that time, which is indeed too many for a girl. How about this? Come over on Saturday and do 10 papers."

It turns out that I was too young and happy too early.
