"You have no idea, Zeng Kai was so scared he almost peed his pants. It was so embarrassing!" Zhao Qingyao said with a look of disgust.

How could she have fallen for such a good-for-nothing!

Li Wanqing was stunned. This was really... after all the twists and turns, it turned out to be a gathering of acquaintances.

"Alright, let's not talk about me anymore." Zhao Qingyao looked at her. "Now that you're here, it's like you're moving in. Do you want to invite some people over to celebrate?"

Li Wanqing smiled helplessly and said, "It shouldn't be necessary. Cheng Baichuan's classmates all came over at noon."

He paused deliberately, then added, "Oh, right, Comrade Qu Zhe is here too."

Zhao Qingyao blushed; of course she knew Qu Zhe had been there.

I just didn't know that this was for a housewarming party, and I felt a little disappointed.

"No matter, that doesn't count, I wasn't here."

Li Wanqing also felt that the lunch was indeed a bit hasty, "Then let's have it this Sunday."

Military Science University students are on vacation and have time to spare.

After agreeing on a time, Zhao Qingyao left.

She arrived early on Sunday.

Under Cheng Baichuan's disapproving gaze, he helped Li Wanqing prepare the ingredients.

"I didn't expect you to cook so well, you're just as good as a professional chef!" Zhao Qingyao exclaimed after tasting the soup.

Li Wanqing made stew today; on this snowy day, a bowl of hot soup is just what you need.

Cheng Baichuan's classmates also arrived one after another, including Qu Zhe and the Shi family who lived next door.

Professor Zhao also arrived and played with Nuonuo on the side.

Qu Zhe and Zhao Qingyao barely exchanged a few glances throughout the entire conversation, and barely spoke a word to each other.

"What's going on here?" Li Wanqing asked quietly.

Aren't you all in relationships?

Why are you still acting like a stranger?

Zhao Qingyao glanced at her father, then whispered, "I'm keeping my relationship with him a secret from my dad."

Li Wanqing looked puzzled. Professor Zhao, who knew her inside and out, would only be happy to see this happen. What was there to hide?

Zhao Qingyao sighed, "Qu Zhe is my dad's favorite student. I introduced him to a girl who was also in the army before."

"But his partner had just gotten married when he died in a mission, and Qu Zhe lost all interest in him after that."

“My dad has always felt guilty and has always wanted to make it up to him.”

Li Wanqing couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Isn't this perfect? ​​Why keep it a secret?"

Zhao Qingyao sighed, "What else could it be? My dad thinks I'm not good enough for Qu Zhe."

Li Wanqing: ...So, when you wanted to match Zhao Qingyao and Cheng Baichuan together, you thought Zhao Qingyao was a good match for him?

Li Wanqing shook her head, her thoughts drifting.

“I think you should make things clear as soon as possible. Uncle Zhao actually cares about you a lot, and he might even be happy about your relationship.”

Zhao Shuyu doted on Zhao Qingyao, after all, she was his only daughter and had suffered with him.

Zhao Qingyao still hesitated; she knew her father doted on her.

When she was bullied by Zeng Kai, her father stood up for her without hesitation.

She wanted a divorce, and her father didn't say a single word of reproach.

No matter how willful she was, he rarely spoke harshly to her.

However, Qu Zhe is different.

His father treats him like a son-in-law. If he knew this, would he really be happy?

"Let me think about it some more. Anyway, you can't give yourself away."

After the warm house party, Zhao Qingyao didn't show up for a while.

Before the Lunar New Year, Li Wanqing received a phone call from Political Commissar Feng.

"Li Wanqing has informed me that your college entrance examination results are out, and you ranked tenth in the province."

On the other end of the phone, Political Commissar Feng's voice trembled with excitement.

Li Wanqing was so surprised that she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She knew she would do well on the test, but she didn't expect it to be this good.

In her previous life, her grades were just average. Now that she's been reborn, intelligence is something she can't change.

So she didn't think she could do very well on the college entrance exam.

Tenth in the province is an absolute surprise.

"The military region issued a 200 yuan reward, which I have already transferred to you. Please check your account." Political Commissar Feng hung up after finishing his business.

Li Wanqing hung up the phone, and Nuonuo frantically tugged at her clothes.

"Mommy mommy!"

She also wanted to know how her mother did on the exam.

Li Wanqing squatted down, picked up her daughter, and pressed her cheek against hers, saying, "Baby, Mommy is so happy."

She never did this well in her past life!

Now, the Taipei University of International Business and Economics is definitely a sure thing.

When Cheng Baichuan returned at noon, he saw that the mother and daughter both had joy on their faces.

"The results are out?"

Li Wanqing nodded, and Nuonuo exclaimed first, "Mom, you're amazing!"

Cheng Baichuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "You did very well on the exam?"

"It's alright!" Li Wanqing suppressed a smile. "The University of International Business and Economics should be fine."

"By the way, He Mei and Zhou Weifeng also did well on the exam, so they should have no problem getting into schools in Taipei."

Cheng Baichuan wasn't familiar with He Mei and Zhou Weifeng; he was only concerned that his wife could stay in Taipei.

that is really good!

Although his wife and daughter are both in Taipei these days, he's still worried.

That makes things a little easier.

Two weeks later, Li Wanqing received the admission notice forwarded by Political Commissar Feng.

He Mei also received an admission notice from Taipei Normal University.

When the two agreed to meet, Li Wanqing turned more of her energy to business.

To prepare for the college entrance examination, Fan Hua was basically entrusted with all the business matters.

Except for a few major decisions, Fan Hua might not be sure if he would come to her.

It can be said that Li Wanqing was a very competent hands-off manager.

After more than a year of training, Fan Hua now has a real boss-like demeanor.

However, he remained very humble in front of Li Wanqing.

"Sis, I've noticed that Taipei's policies have loosened up quite a bit recently. Should we go all out?" Fan Hua rubbed his hands together, full of enthusiasm.

In just over a year, he earned more money than he could ever earn in his entire life.

"No rush." ​​Li Wanqing had considered making a big splash, but it was still too early.

"You should pay close attention to policy changes. If you have the opportunity, it would be best to obtain a formal business license."

"Business license?" Fan Hua was full of questions. "Sis, I've never heard of it before?"

Li Wanqing was slightly taken aback. "Anyway, just keep an eye on it."

If I remember correctly, by 80 years later, it would be possible to apply for a private business license.

Although they are making money now, it's just small-scale, like guerrilla warfare, and it won't last long.

Moreover, even in the 80s, there were still several sensitive periods.

Back then, black marketeers were executed if caught.

Fan Hua felt a little disappointed, but he still listened to Li Wanqing.

As spring of 1978 arrived, the first cohort of university students, ten years after the resumption of the National College Entrance Examination, were about to enter university.

He Mei's university, Taipei Normal University, is a bit far from the University of International Business and Economics, but it's close to Taipei University, where Zhou Weifeng studies.

Zhou Weifeng ranked fifth in the province, a result that surprised Li Wanqing.
