Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"Oh well."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Min stared blankly into space.

Why did the whole family come? What are you planning to do with all this fuss?

Are you here for tourism? Or are you here to check on yourself?

I've been in the capital for five years and had never been here before. Why did I come this time?

Just as Zhou Min was lost in thought, the conversation she had with Zheng Xiaojiu a week earlier suddenly came to mind.

they?

Could they be here to see their boyfriends?!

Zhou Min instantly felt she had figured out the truth.

The only things that could bring so many people together, braving the long journey to the capital, are major events like marriage, birth, aging, illness, and death.

Since I'm doing well now, I can only come to see my partner.

At this moment, Zhou Min couldn't help but start to regret the reason she had given for refusing him last week.

Zhou Min called her secretary and asked her to arrange a hotel and transportation for her. Then, she went to her office and started scrolling through her phone.

In the eyes of these relatives and elders at home, marriage is a very important event.

If they find out this time that I lied about having a boyfriend, then I can forget about ever having a good life again.

Moreover, once your credit is ruined, it will be difficult to find an excuse not to go on blind dates in the future.

Zhou Min scrolled through the list of contacts, but none of them seemed quite right.

This person is too young and too frivolous; they don't look like someone who does scientific research.

The accent he uses clearly doesn't belong to someone from the capital.

This one is a bit unattractive; she doesn't look like the type I'd be interested in.

This person is a bit short, and doesn't seem to be my type.

......

Even when it was time to pick someone up at the airport in the afternoon, Zhou Min still hadn't been able to find a suitable person from her contacts.

Helpless, Zhou Min could only come to pick them up at the airport first. As for what would happen later, she could only play it by ear. If she could postpone it, she would postpone it. If she couldn't postpone it, Zhou Min was even planning to spend money to have Yu Cheng find an actor from his entertainment company to help.

As Zhou Min was thinking, her mother and her entourage emerged from the arrival gate in a grand procession.

Zhou Min glanced at the crowd; it really was the whole family out.

Besides the grandparents and maternal grandparents, the entire family, young and old, came.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Min went up to greet them warmly. As Zhou Min had expected, after greeting her, everyone started asking about her boyfriend.

Why did you come alone?

"Where's your boyfriend? Why didn't he come with you?"

"Everyone should have a day off today, right?"

"The factories are all closed for the National Day holiday, so those of us who work in these companies must also be on holiday."

Hearing their chatter, Zhou Min quickly put down the little dumpling in her arms and explained, "He's on a business trip out of town today and won't be back for another two days."

"Why are you away on a business trip at this time?" Zhou's mother was a little dissatisfied when she didn't see him.

"That's how work is; I'm always flying around too."

As Zhou Min spoke, she took the suitcase from her mother and walked towards the van at the door.

Because the company has many business receptions, it also has a large number of commercial vehicles.

Fortunately, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to handle the group of over seventy people in one trip.

After Zhou Min helped everyone get into the car, she went to the hotel with them.

Zhou Min originally planned to arrange for them to stay at the company hotel, but considering the potential troubles that might arise later, she booked a hotel for them in the city instead.

To accommodate everyone, Zhou Min simply booked a room here as well.

In the evening, after everyone had rested and finished dinner, Zhou Min led them to explore the night view of the capital.

The next day, Zhou Min took everyone to watch the flag-raising ceremony and climb the Great Wall.

By evening, everyone was exhausted, so Zhou Min took them directly to her usual private restaurant.

Because there were many people and the private restaurant didn't have a main hall, Zhou Min directly ordered six private rooms.

On such a holiday, being able to book six private rooms at once is already a great favor from the owner to Zhou Min.

With over seventy people crammed into six private rooms, it was still a bit crowded.

Fortunately, everyone was already used to this family gathering format.

No one complained at all; they chatted happily about what they had seen and felt that day.

Compared to the big hotels outside, the food here is served much slower.

Although no one complained, Zhou Min, who was also starving, felt a little guilty.

When the children became so hungry that they started clamoring for food, Zhou Min finally mustered the courage to approach the boss.

"No matter what kind of dishes they are, bring us a few plates first. Let the kids have something to eat."

"Could you wait a little longer? I'm so busy today. There are still a few tables of customers who arrived earlier and are waiting for their food. I'll get there as soon as possible."

The boss was also helpless. He hadn't planned to serve so many customers today, but Zhou Min was a regular customer who would come to patronize his business every few days, so he had to give her face.

The owner originally planned to serve the dishes to each private room in turn, so that Zhou Min and the others wouldn't have to wait too long.

But I don't know what's wrong with these guests today; they all seem to have not eaten for days.

The dishes were devoured as soon as they were served. In this situation, I couldn't very well make the people in the rooms ahead of me stop eating halfway through and wait indefinitely.

This resulted in slower service for the private rooms where later guests arrived.

Seeing her boss's anxious expression, Zhou Min sighed and decided not to make things difficult for him any further.

After giving the boss a few more instructions, Zhou Min turned to leave.

Rather than sitting there waiting for the owner to serve the food, Zhou Min decided to go downstairs to a nearby convenience store to buy some snacks to comfort her child.

Just as Zhou Min was about to go downstairs, she encountered an unexpected person in the corridor.
