"Boss, you and Miss Song have such a good relationship," Jiang Xinyue said as she walked back to her workstation.

"Of course, we grew up together, and I respect her like an older sister," Shen Qingzhou said earnestly.

Jiang Xinyue looked embarrassed upon hearing this. She thought to herself, "I could believe you if you said we were childhood sweethearts, but if you said you were my sister, what would happen if you dared to talk to your sister like that?"

"Are you talking badly about me in your heart?" Shen Qingzhou suddenly asked.

"No, no..." Jiang Xinyue denied in a panic.

"So it seems you really are talking badly about me behind my back."

Seeing this, Shen Qingzhou became even more convinced.

Jiang Xinyue's cheeks flushed red. She wanted to explain herself, but she didn't know how to do so to prove her "innocence".

Just then, her gaze swept across the computer screen, her eyes lit up, and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Yang contacted me."

"Mr. Yang, which Mr. Yang?"

"It's about finding someone to arrange a ghost marriage for you."

"Oh, what did he say?"

"He wants to ask for the man's general information before we can discuss it in more detail," Jiang Xinyue said, looking at the computer screen.

"Tell the other party that the man is twenty-five years old, in good health, handsome, and a graduate of China University of Science and Technology..." Shen Qingzhou paused here, then emphasized, "Of course, the most important thing is the last point: he is alone and destitute, and both his parents have passed away."

As Shen Qingzhou spoke, Jiang Xinyue typed on the keyboard to record. When Shen Qingzhou finished speaking and saw this line of text, Jiang Xinyue peeked out from behind the screen in surprise.

"What are you looking at? Are you surprised?"

Shen Qingzhou knew exactly what she was thinking.

Jiang Xinyue nodded hurriedly, looking incredulous. "You really graduated from China University of Science and Technology? And you majored in theoretical physics?"

She finds it difficult to associate someone like Shen Qingzhou with theoretical physics.

These are completely unrelated.

Moreover, the China University of Science and Technology is no ordinary university; it ranks at least in the top ten among universities in the country. Those who can get into such a school, especially in physics, are, without exaggeration, geniuses.

"Is it that difficult? As long as you have a brain, you can just take the test and pass." Shen Qingzhou said casually.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue thought to herself, "Boss, what you're saying is really pretentious."

Shen Qingzhou wasn't bragging. When he embarked on the path of "leftist" cultivation, he not only had extraordinary physical abilities but also far surpassed ordinary people in intelligence. Therefore, he didn't put in much effort to get into Chung Hwa University of Science and Technology. He simply followed the steps and got in.

He is also the student with the best college entrance examination score since the establishment of the Giraffe Welfare Institute, and the student who was admitted to the best university.

Of course, that was in the past, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future. As far as Shen Qingzhou knows, there is a certain mentally challenged child in the orphanage who is exceptionally intelligent, and it's really hard to say what will happen in the future; he might even surpass him.

Thinking of the silly girl, Shen Qingzhou suddenly missed her.

So he said to Jiang Xinyue behind the screen, "Don't cook for me tomorrow at noon. You can eat out. I have something to do tomorrow at noon."

"Okay," Jiang Xinyue replied, then looked away from the screen.

"They said they wanted to meet with us to discuss the specific compensation and details in person," Jiang Xinyue said.

"Then let's set a time," Shen Qingzhou said.

"it is good."

Jiang Xinyue quickly confirmed with the other party that they would meet this Friday afternoon.

After she wrote this down, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you make me emphasize that I was all alone and orphaned?"

"This shows that I am poor, have no parents to rely on, and studying theoretical physics makes me even poorer. It is precisely because I am poor that I am willing to agree to a ghost marriage; and since I am a researcher, I do not believe in ghosts and gods, so I have fewer concerns."

Shen Qingzhou said calmly, "With such a high-quality man and a plausible reason for a ghost marriage, where can you find someone like that?"

"Boss, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"Of course, hey..."

Jiang Xinyue discovered that Shen Qingzhou's personality was actually quite like a child's: simple and direct, but not very innocent, a bit of a brat.

"Boss, you're amazing!" Xiao Qiu gave Shen Qingzhou a thumbs up.

She didn't understand what her mother was saying to her brother, but when she saw her mother praising her brother, she followed suit.

Jiang Xinyue reached out and touched her daughter's head, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

With the talisman bone, she could see her daughter anytime, which made her feel very content.

"Boss, you're not coming back for dinner tomorrow, where are you going to play? Can you take me with you?" Xiao Qiu asked curiously.

Shen Qingzhou didn't come back at noon today. Xiao Qiu thought he had gone out to play all morning.

"Xiao Qiu, your brother has things to do, don't ask questions randomly," Jiang Xinyue quickly stopped her daughter.

Shen Qingzhou didn't seem to mind, and instead smiled and said, "Sure, I'm going back to the orphanage tomorrow, you can come with me."

"Oh~" Xiao Qiu cheered immediately upon hearing this.

(Xiao Qiu)

"Boss, then... I'll have to trouble you."

Seeing how happy Xiao Qiu was, Jiang Xinyue ultimately didn't stop her.

Actually, when Shen Qingzhou asked her to transfer the money to the orphanage's account, Jiang Xinyue had already done some research on the Giraffe Orphanage and guessed that Shen Qingzhou might also have come from this orphanage.

Therefore, I was not surprised when Shen Qingzhou said he wanted to go back to the orphanage.

So the next morning, before Jiang Xinyue even arrived at work, Shen Qingzhou left.

He didn't leave empty-handed; he brought all the things that Lu Guohua, Shen Wenjie, and Song Tianqing had brought over the past few days, intending to give them to the children at the welfare home, except for cigarettes, of course.

Xiao Qiu rode Wu Ying behind Shen Qingzhou. The little guy was quite talkative, constantly asking questions.

"Are there many foxes in the fox enclosure? Do they bite people?"

"It's an orphanage, not a fox farm; there are no foxes there."

Xiao Qiu was a little disappointed upon hearing this, and then asked, "If you don't keep foxes, what do you keep?"

"Raise a child just like you."

Xiao Qiu was delighted to hear this, "Then can they play with me?"

"I'm afraid that won't work, because they can't see you."

Xiao Qiu, who was just happy, became dejected again. This little guy's emotions are like a roller coaster.

Shen Qingzhou chuckled and patted her little head.

"If you don't want to go, you can go back to sleep."

When Shen Qingzhou said "sleep," he was naturally referring to returning to the Soul-Nourishing Coffin, which he had temporarily lent to her.

"No, I'd better go with you. Otherwise, if you get lost, I won't be able to find you," Xiao Qiu said earnestly.

"Oh, thank you so much."

"You are welcome."

Shen Qingzhou: ……

The two chatted all the way, and by the time they arrived at the giraffe welfare home, it was already broad daylight, and they could hear the children's noise from afar.

Because it was summer vacation, the children weren't going to school, but they couldn't leave the yard freely, so they could only expend their energy in the yard.

P.S.: I went out yesterday and didn't get back until very late last night. This is the draft I finished early this morning. There's one more chapter, so it will be a little late.
