Zhou Yunqi recalled that in his previous life, Pei Shi did have a few friends who grew up with him in an orphanage. It was said that there was a girl who was his childhood sweetheart and they went through the difficult times of starting a business together.

Zhou Yunqi was not interested in who Pei Shi spent the money on. What interested her was how to make him stay in the quagmire forever, so that he would be unable to get up even if he tried thousands of times.

"Keep an eye on him and see if he has any more contact with people from Haocheng Group."

After hearing her instructions, the assistant responded and then muttered, "It shouldn't be the case. Last time, it was Cheng Yu who sent the letter, which shows that he doesn't value Pei Shi's ability."

"That's not necessarily true." Zhou Yunqi sneered, "Cheng Yu would report the news only because he didn't want another shareholder to take the position of general manager and ruin Pei Shi's use as a bargaining chip."

"You mean, Cheng Yu messed up this matter so that he could cooperate with Pei Shi?"

Zhou Yunqi nodded, and the assistant quickly said, "I know, I'll keep a close eye on it."

Zhou Niantang was in a bad mood for several days. Although she and the servants replanted some flowers that looked okay that day, most of them were destroyed. The originally neatly maintained flower bed no longer looked beautiful at all.

A few days later, Zhou Yunqi gave her some rare orchids, which made her feel a little better.

After that day, she asked Uncle Sun not to let that crazy girl Bai Rongshu in again. Whoever dared to let her in would be held responsible if anything happened.

Uncle Sun and the other servants had no objection, except Aunt Zhuo.

After hearing Uncle Sun's instructions, Aunt Zhuo turned around and called Bai Zhi who was far away in Country H with exaggerated words.

. . .

Zhou Niantang ate in the cafeteria at noon, and it was usually Ji Shen and Xie Xiaotang who came to call her.

On this day, Ji Shen and his class teacher stayed in class late, and Zhou Niantang had nothing to do, so he went to the senior year school to find them.

Ji Shen and Luo Ze were all in Class 2, so they had to pass through Class 1 to get there. Thinking that he hadn't seen Yun Zhi for two or three days, Zhou Niantang passed by the window of Class 1 and stopped to look inside.

When he looked up, he saw Luo Ze holding a thermal box with five or six layers, sitting face to face with Yun Zhi, and opening them one by one.

Zhou Niantang: Good boy, you actually eat alone. No wonder you look down on the food in the cafeteria recently!

She walked straight in, signaled Yun Zhi not to say anything, and then took away Luo Ze's plate of braised pork ribs from behind him.

"Which grandson stole your grandfather's..." Luo Ze turned around and saw that it was Zhou Niantang. He instantly felt embarrassed as if he had done something bad and was caught.

He did not dare to shout loudly, and smiled and said, "What wind brings you here, my aunt?"

Zhou Niantang took a piece of braised pork ribs without hesitation and ate it. This was made by Luo's mother. She had eaten it before and remembered the taste.

Before she could say anything, Luo Ze immediately explained: "My mother said Yun Zhi is also an employee of our store, so she wanted to pack her lunch, so she made mine as well."

He spoke in a panicked tone, afraid that she wouldn't believe him, and added, "It's true. If you don't believe me, go ask my mom."

Zhou Niantang did not doubt it. She had been to the store several times and she could see that Mother Luo liked Yun Zhi very much and knew Yun Zhi's situation, so she understood that in order to improve her life, she found an excuse to make delicious food for her.

Mother Luo has always been a very good person, and she knows it.

It was Luo Ze's reaction that made her feel a little strange. "Why are you panicking? I haven't asked anything yet."

Luo Ze reacted and it seemed like that. He concealed his guilty conscience and continued to explain: "Aren't I just afraid that you will misunderstand me?"

Zhou Niantang was puzzled: "What did I misunderstand?"

Luo Ze was speechless after her question and didn't know what to say for a long time.

Yun Zhi walked over and pulled Zhou Niantang to sit down: "Tangtang, come eat together. Auntie made a lot today."

“No, no.” Zhou Niantang waved his hand and stood up: “I’m just passing by, you guys eat, I’ll go find… find my classmates.”

For fear of triggering bad memories for Yun Zhi, she did not mention the names of Ji Shen and Xie Xiaotang.

She saw Ji Shen passing by outside the window, hurriedly greeted them, and then trotted out.

Yun Zhi naturally knew who Zhou Niantang ran out to chase, although Zhou Niantang had repeatedly explained last time that Ji Shen had misunderstood that she was being bullied.

But Yun Zhi still couldn't forget that they beat Pei Shi. She looked at Luo Ze who was handing chopsticks to her.

Fortunately, Luo Ze was not involved in that incident, otherwise she would not be able to sit down and have a meal with him like this.

. . .

Zhou Niantang caught up with Ji Shen and the others at the stairs.

The two were patted on the shoulders. They turned around and saw it was Zhou Niantang. They were a little surprised, because Zhou Niantang rarely came to see them.

"Where did you come from?" Ji Shen asked.

"I was originally going to look for you guys, but I ran into Aze in Class 1."

When Xie Xiaotang heard the name, he said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "That grandson has been unsociable lately!"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Niantang asked curiously.

"He keeps saying he needs to study hard. Since the beginning of the school year, he hasn't slept in the classroom once! He doesn't even eat with us, saying his mom cooks for him and the store employees."

"That's good." Zhou Niantang glanced at Xie Xiaotang: "You are not panicking because everyone usually lies down together and suddenly someone stops lying down."

Xie Xiaotang, whose heart was touched: . . .

Ji Shen didn't say a word the whole way. When they arrived at the cafeteria, they found a seat after getting their food. Then he slammed the table and said, "Fuck! Could it be that Luo Ze is in trouble?"

Zhou Niantang, who had just taken a sip of soup, was startled, "What happened?"

"That's it..." Looking at Zhou Niantang who was blinking his big eyes and looked stupid, Ji Shen sighed, "Nothing, eat your meal."

"Oh." Zhou Niantang wasn't very interested in knowing. Boys of their age had too many immature ideas and wouldn't listen to advice.

After lunch, Zhou Niantang went to the store to buy yogurt, and also bought some for Liu Xiaoyun. When he was paying the bill, his phone notified him that he had a new email.

She clicked on it on the way back and was stunned.

It was a foreign science and technology university that she had known about before, and she had consulted it about the requirements for studying abroad in the university.

Now the university has responded.

Although Pei Shi only has a junior high school education in China, one does not have to graduate from high school to attend that university. If one has a good resume or good design as a stepping stone, as long as one passes the entrance exam, one can attend, but the tuition will be a little more expensive.

Money is a small matter to Zhou Niantang.

But now she knows that Pei Shi has hooked up with the people in the game company. So, will Pei Shi, who has planned a bright future for herself, still accept her help and study abroad as she wishes?
