I want to have a normal campus romance

But no matter what, I still agreed. After all, Uncle Chen had said so much, I couldn't just refuse like that, right?

Seeing this, I put a coat on the girl to prevent her from catching a cold when she went out, and wondered if this was a deliberate arrangement. But then I found that Uncle Chen was looking at my mobile phone with great interest, to be exact, the mobile phone case that the girl gave me.

I was about to ask a question in confusion, but I heard Uncle Chen say something that was confusing:

"Well, it seems that I was overthinking. I'll leave the young lady in your hands... Teacher Lin."

Chapter 232 Confrontation

My intuition tells me that things are far from as simple as I imagined. However, instead of making blind guesses here, it is better to set off early. Then I will know the truth.

So after I re-buttoned this girl's shirt, I wanted to put her gauze dress back on her, but then I thought... drunk people can easily catch a cold, and this gauze dress is okay for blocking the flying sand, but as for keeping warm... uh, forget it.

So after much thought, I decided to drape her gauze dress over my arm, and then put my slightly thicker coat on the girl to prevent her from catching a cold.

After seeing me put my coat on her, the girl stretched out her little hands and silently tightened the coat. I don’t know if it was because of the alcohol or it was just my illusion, but I just felt that the girl’s face was redder than before.

"Are you still walking steadily?"

"Ah."

After hearing what I said, she nodded slightly to me, then reached out and held my arm, which made me feel a little embarrassed. After all, although this could help the girl stand a little more steadily, this posture would inevitably seem too intimate in the eyes of others.

Seeing this, I glanced at Uncle Chen, and when Uncle Chen saw this girl holding my arm, there was no surprise or astonishment on his face, as if he didn't see it.

When he saw us coming, he took us into the elevator, but what surprised me was that Uncle Chen took us into the employee elevator.

Maybe if he took the elevator, he would pass by the lobby? This was not impossible. After all, there were so many people in the lobby, and they would inevitably gossip when they saw this situation.

I don't care. I'm a pushover. I've been criticized so many times that my immunity has improved a lot. Although I'm not to the point of turning a deaf ear to it, I won't take it too seriously.

As the numbers on the LCD panel on the elevator continued to decrease, I heard a "ding" sound and the elevator door opened. However, the scene in front of me was a little unexpected.

To be exact, the picture was somewhat different from what I had imagined. The corridor outside the door was not filled with employees walking around as I had imagined. Quite the opposite...there was almost no one in the corridor.

As for why I used the word "almost", it was because there was a teenager leaning against the corridor next to the elevator. Judging from his face, he should be a high school student, but definitely not a college student.

Judging from his clothes... this young man is probably a young man with a rich family background. Even if he is not... he must be a rich kid from the upper class. After all, the price of all the branded clothes he wears is probably enough for me to buy a car.

But what puzzled me was why there was such a rich young man in the employee passage? Was he a customer who accidentally walked in here?

After hearing the elevator door open, he put away the latest model of Apple phone in his hand and looked towards us. When he saw Uncle Chen in front of me, his eyes lit up. Then he straightened his clothes and said slowly:

"Hello, Uncle Chen."

Ok?

Does he know Uncle Chen?

This surprised me a little, but after hearing what he said, Uncle Chen didn't show any strange expression on his face. He just nodded indifferently and replied to him:

"Oh, it's Master Xu, why are you here?"

"My dad was chatting with Uncle Mo, and I couldn't get a word in, so I came over to pick up Yu Han."

Although he was very polite, I always felt that something was not right. I had an inexplicable bad feeling. Of course... maybe I was just overthinking.

But what concerned me was that he not only knew Uncle Chen, but he also said that his father was chatting with Mo Fushan. I remember... Uncle Chen said that Mo Fushan went to discuss business with the directors of the company. Does that mean his father is a director of the Moqian Group?

Of course, none of this matters. What matters is that he calls Mo Yuhan "Yuhan", which surprised me a little. Could it be that... he is very familiar with this girl?

But despite this, I didn't have any special feeling. After all, there was still some fruity scent on my lips, and I could even recall the soft touch. Even if he was very familiar with this girl, it was definitely not as close as the relationship between me and Mo Yuhan.

"Uncle Chen, this is..."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Xu's son, Xu Shang."

Uncle Chen made room to the side as he spoke, and then introduced the young man to me.

After hearing what Uncle Chen said, Xu Shang couldn't help but turn his head to look at me. After seeing Mo Yuhan holding my arm, the smile on his face gradually faded, and the look in his eyes revealed gloom and obvious hostility.

To be honest, if this wasn't the first day I met him, people who didn't know would have thought that I had melted all his relics. He looked at me like that from the beginning, as if we were enemies for eight lifetimes.

Of course, it may also be due to his age. After all, even a kid like Huang Tao would restrain himself a little when there are other people around.

"I'm going to drive the car, Mr. Lin...you and Miss can go to the door and wait first."

As Uncle Chen spoke, he turned his head and looked at me, gave me a meaningful look, and then smiled slightly. At this time, I also realized what he meant.

Indeed... If Uncle Chen came to help the girl, or asked the waiter to help, this matter would be difficult to handle. Even Uncle Chen was not very convenient to come forward in this situation.

"I understand. I will take good care of this girl."

I nodded to Uncle Chen, understandingly. Uncle Chen didn't show any special expression on his face, but he looked at me with relief. After saying a few words to us, he left quickly.

As Uncle Chen left, a thick and gloomy atmosphere followed. At this moment, even without looking, I could clearly guess that Xu Shang was staring at me.

"You are Yu Han's teacher, right? I've heard that you are... a college student from a third-rate university."

"hehe."

"You...what are you laughing at?"

"It's okay. I just didn't expect that one day Tianjin University would be called a third-rate university."

Although I don’t think Jinhai University is that great, this is the first time I’ve heard of it being called a third-rate university. If other high school students who are taking the college entrance examination heard this, they would probably give up on going to 211 or 985 universities and directly choose this “third-rate university” as their first choice.

When he heard what I said, his face suddenly fell. Perhaps he felt that he failed to belittle me, and instead I laughed at his ignorance. He felt that he had lost face in front of Mo Yuhan, and he couldn't help but snorted and said to me:

"Humph, I was admitted to Harvard University. Jinhai University...is just so-so in terms of world ranking."

Chapter 233 Deliberate Arrangement

After hearing Xu Shang's words, the corners of my eyes twitched. How should I put it... I feel like I have heard this kind of superiority-showing words several times, but I have to admit that this is the normal state of the world.

Just like taking a bus, you will be laughed at by some unknown old man or woman, saying that you are from another place and there are lines running up to the sky on her forehead, which is so amazing, and then they will fight for a seat.

In the so-called upper class society, showing off one's superiority is not an uncommon thing, or it can be said that this kind of thing will occur in any social circle.

Just like games take advantage of people's competitive spirit and desire to win, a boring and uninteresting game, as long as it is made a little bit difficult and ranked, can quickly become popular for no reason and make the creator a lot of money.

The pleasure of stepping on others is always the most refreshing thing. Sometimes only the frustration and pain of others can set off one's own joy and pleasure.

I even dare to bet that a person like Xu Shang is definitely surrounded by a bunch of younger brothers. These younger brothers may not bring him any substantial value, because the greatest significance of Xu Shang keeping them around is to let them praise himself.

Sometimes I can analyze a person’s general character from his or her words and expressions. It’s not because I have a keen eye for truth, but because people always look the same, because that’s human nature.

"Hmph, you're speechless."

Xu Shang was fiddling with his phone while talking, and then he looked at me smugly. I could tell... judging from his arrogant temperament, he must have been bullying others in school. I guess it was because of his father's status that he didn't get into any trouble.

"Ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right."

I said and shrugged at him. After hearing what I said, Xu Shang snorted coldly as if he was unwilling to argue with me anymore, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

Mo Yuhan, who had her arm around me, was a little drunk and her reaction was a little slow, but that didn't mean she didn't hear anything. After seeing Xu Shang looking at me with contempt, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, as if she wanted to stand up for me.

But just as she was about to speak, I pulled her back. Although this girl had her own ideas, she listened to me very much. After all, I had never hurt her.

"teacher?"

"Well, don't worry. I'll give you an outdoor lesson today." I whispered to her in a low voice, then continued to say to her with a smile, "I'll show you what it means to 'make the empty real and the real empty.'"

Although I am a person who is afraid of trouble, it does not mean that I am a good guy. In fact, if you really get into trouble, there is no point in arguing with each other. Only words that can really attack his weak points are truly meaningful.

However, just as I was whispering to this girl in private, I suddenly heard Xu Shang's extremely gloomy voice:

"Humph, I'm going to take Yu Han to meet my father and the others now, you can turn around and go back."

"I'm sorry, I just promised Uncle Chen to take good care of her. It's hard to feel at ease leaving her with outsiders."

When I heard him ordering me to leave, I ignored him. In fact...from the hints Uncle Chen gave me, it seemed that Uncle Chen was deliberately not giving Xu Shang a reason to get close to Mo Yuhan. Although I didn't know why, I have to say that this was exactly what I wanted.

"Outsider? Humph...it's not certain who the outsider is. I've known Yu Han longer than you have!"

After hearing what I said, Xu Shang's face suddenly became embarrassed. It can be seen... this guy is not even as good as Huang Tao. At least Huang Tao is still a hypocrite and can pretend a little.

But his words made me a little concerned. I looked at Mo Yuhan who was standing next to me. After hearing Xu Shang's words, she frowned immediately, and I asked her softly:

"Are you familiar?"

To be honest, although I don't have a very good impression of him, if he is an acquaintance of Mo Yuhan, I really don't know how to start. But after hearing what I said, she shook her head.

"do not know."

After hearing what this girl said, I couldn't help but... well, I looked at Xu Shang very subtly, thinking that this kid couldn't even make up a lie. It seemed that my eyes hurt his self-esteem. Xu Shang couldn't help but said to me angrily:

"I...I...when Yu Han returned to China, my father and I picked her up at the airport. I was much earlier than you, her tutor, and I was her classmate in the next class!"

After hearing his words, I nodded in sudden realization, then slowly looked at the girl Mo Yuhan. After Xu Shang finished speaking, he also looked at me smugly, and then followed me to look at Mo Yuhan.

"No impression."

Mo Yuhan was silent for a while, then slowly spoke to me. After hearing what this girl said, I almost couldn't help laughing. However, after Xu Shang heard her words, he behaved exactly the opposite of me. The smug expression on his face instantly froze, looking extremely funny.

After this back and forth, I roughly understood what the situation was. However, Xu Shang looked a little embarrassed at the moment and looked at me viciously. I was not afraid of him either. I twisted my neck, making a "cracking" sound of bones, and then squinted my eyes and looked at him.

After seeing me like this, I realized that this guy was a weakling. He quickly looked away, but seemed to feel that this was a bit embarrassing. He snorted before turning around, as if to express that he was not afraid of me, but just didn't want to compete with me.

Seeing this, I had no intention of pursuing the matter further. After all, this girl had drunk too much, and if we really had an argument, it would definitely distract me. If this girl fell, I might not be able to react so quickly. Besides, I was also thinking carefully about what Mo Fushan was trying to do.

Not only did he begin to interfere in normal personnel transfers, but he also gradually began to participate in various internal affairs of the company. Although I am not quite sure what Mo Fushan's situation was before, these affairs all sent out a signal without exception.

That is, Mofushan is constantly expanding his sphere of influence and his own influence. This is completely different from what he said when he first met me, saying that he was more of a balancer in the company's internal affairs, and it even has a bit of the opposite meaning.

If I were to use two words to describe Mo Fushan's recent arrangements, it would be "urgent". Three words would be "extremely urgent". He is eager to win over his own forces to increase his voice within the group.

If Mo Fushan were already a sixty-year-old man now, I could understand it. After all, at this age he should basically retire behind the scenes. This is the critical moment of power transition. If he is not careful, he might be kicked out by someone who seeks power and usurps the throne.

But Mo Fushan is now in his prime. If he really retires behind the scenes, it will probably take another 10 to 20 years. How is it possible to change the helmsman of the company when the company is still in its rising stage?

This is impossible no matter how you think about it. Mo Yuhan is definitely not able to take over his job now. As for someone shaking Mo Fushan's position...

Hmm... I don't think it's likely. Although Mo Fushan is not yet at the point where he has the final say and there are opponents within the group, his prestige and influence are still very high within the group.

The large amount of information made me feel a little overwhelmed, so I shook my head, put those thoughts behind me, and just did my job. There was no point in thinking so much, and it might not even have anything to do with me.

But...if that was the case, why would Uncle Chen and Mo Fushan appear here?

Coincidence? Or...deliberate arrangement?

Chapter 234: The virtual is real, the real is virtual

As I was thinking this, I slowly pushed open the glass door in front of me and walked into the back hall of the restaurant. However, there were no employees here, as if the place had been deliberately cleared out.

"Mr. Lin, you are here."

Just at this moment, I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from. I saw Manager Fang jogging towards me, with a lot of sweat on his forehead, seemingly due to nervousness.

But this time he was not in the mood to chat with us as before. Instead, he took me to the rest area in the back hall, where I saw Mo Fushan and a middle-aged man I had never seen before sitting on the sofa.

"Mr. Mo, Mr. Lin and Miss Mo are here."

"Oh, sorry to bother you. I'm sorry to bother you with the restaurant's affairs."

"No trouble, no trouble, then I won't bother you, Mr. Mo."

After Manager Fang finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and took a deep look at Mo Yuhan and me before leaving. I don’t know why, but at this moment, there was a little more respect in the way he looked at me.

Although I don't know why he suddenly looked at me like that, but seeing him appearing here in sweat, I thought that the phone call he received before leaving was probably about Mofushan. No wonder he was so flustered when he left.

"You guys are here, um... sit wherever you want."

Mo Fushan gestured for us to sit anywhere, but this was a rest area, not a reception room, and there were only two sofas facing each other in front of us. In fact, I didn't have any choice. After all, I couldn't sit opposite Mo Fushan, right?

The middle-aged man sitting opposite was obviously Xu Shang's father. When he saw Xu Shang following me dejectedly and Mo Yuhan holding my arm, he frowned and looked very unhappy, but soon regained his calm look.

However, despite this, he still felt a little disappointed with Xu Shang, and slowly asked:

"Didn't I just ask you to pick someone up? Is this how you pick someone up?"

"me......"

After hearing what he said, Xu Shang wanted to say something but was speechless. When he saw this look, he couldn't help but pinched his eyebrows as if he had a headache.

"Okay, come sit down."
