I smiled at Mo Yuhan, and she looked at me, then at Mo Fushan who was staring at this side silently, and at Uncle Chen who was standing beside them. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to believe me and followed Uncle Chen out of the meeting room.

As the door closed, I felt like it was all a dream. Maybe it was just a fleeting dream, but after waking up... I had to face the cold, real reality.

"You are quite straightforward. Don't you want to wait for my daughter to say a few good words for you before letting her go?"

"I believe you are not the kind of person who will change your mind because of a few words."

I actually don't believe what I just said, but since it has to end, it has to end gracefully. Rather than being abandoned like a despised dog-skin plaster, it's better for me to cut the Gordian knot and be decisive.

And I also know that he definitely didn't send Mo Yuhan away to talk to me about trivial things. Instead of dwelling on those things, it is better to get straight to the point.

"Okay, let's talk about something serious."

However, after hearing what I said, Mo Fushan seemed to be very pleased, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he suddenly changed the subject, drank a sip of tea in the cup beside him and said slowly:

"Perhaps you think that as the chairman of the Moqian Group, I am a very powerful person."

"..."

Mo Fushan said this, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window and said this as if he was talking to himself. For a moment, I didn’t know what to say in response, or rather, I thought it would be better not to answer at this time.

“The company may seem very large, but I cannot control many things. Each of the company’s directors has his own intentions and ideas. What I do is to maintain stability among all parties in this complex network of relationships, just like keeping a bowl of water even. I cannot make clear and arbitrary decisions on some things.”

I was a little curious when I heard this, because I didn't know why Mo Fushan suddenly told me these things. Was he explaining something to me? But there was no reason. Why did he explain so much to a teacher who had been fired? Was he trying to make me not hate him too much?

But I can't figure out the reason for this guess, so I'd better wait and see.

His brother took a sip of the tea in his cup, then turned around and said slowly:

"It may sound surprising to you, but... there are already quite a few people in the company who are interested in the position of Little Girl's tutor. In fact, this is no longer something I can decide."

Mo Fushan sighed deeply as he spoke. For a moment, I felt that he was just like an ordinary father, feeling helpless. But he quickly recovered and continued to say to me:

"If possible, I hope you can maintain your current relationship with my daughter. Of course... this is not a request, but a request from me."

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I was stunned because of the huge contrast between before and after. I couldn't react. I didn't know what was going on, but I still nodded blankly.

Maintain the current relationship with Mo Yuhan? Friendship? Or teacher-student relationship?

However, Mo Fushan seemed to see my doubts. When he saw me nod, he smiled and said to me:

"Did I scare you too much just now, so you can't react now?"

"You mean... just now?"

Seeing him nod at me, I was a little confused for a moment, but I couldn't find a reason why he was scaring me. Was it really for a cliché test? Why did he tell me all this now? And what was the purpose of going through so much trouble?

"If this scares you, I hope you don't mind it. You can understand this as a father's duty. Maybe when you become a parent one day, you will understand."

As if his weakness had been touched upon, Mo Fushan's expression became much more sad. He drank the tea in the cup and then stared straight at the closed door of the conference room.

"You mean you won't fire me?"

After hearing what I said, Mo Fushan shook his head, which made me even more confused. I couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. He wanted me to maintain a relationship with Mo Yuhan, and he seemed to be trying to please me, but why did he fire me?

Is there any reason why I have to be fired?

However, he didn't seem to intend to say it clearly. As if to give me enough time to think, he didn't speak again. Instead, he walked to the chair, sat down slowly, and closed his eyes to rest.

There are many people who are interested in the position of tutor. We need to treat everyone equally and cannot make a clear decision...

Could it be that——

"Do you want me to reapply?"

After hearing what I said, Mo Fushan did not give me any clear reply, but the undisguised approval in his eyes and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth seemed to tell me his answer.

"In fact, if you weren't so outstanding, everything would be much simpler."

Me? Excellent?

When I heard Mo Fushan’s words, for a moment I even felt that he was not talking about me.

As a college student, I usually get 30% off hard work, 70% off struggle, and the remaining 90% off...all thanks to the strong teacher-student relationship that kept me from failing. Now, will there be a day when I will be called excellent?

"According to my plan, I wanted to reject all applications for tutoring positions, but your appearance has disrupted my plans. Many people think that someone else has already taken action, and they have expressed their dissatisfaction to me."

"Me? But I'm just an ordinary college student."

After hearing what I said, Mo Fushan stared at me straight in the eyes. After a long while, as if he had confirmed something, he continued to speak to me:

"Although you are just an ordinary college student, the people around you are not ordinary people, such as Secretary Gao in the school, Manager Liao who has had contact with you, and Xia Xiaoyao, a popular singer of a subsidiary of Moqian Group."

After I heard what Mo Fushan said, although I appeared to be very calm on the surface, I was already frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. My heart was pounding and I was filled with horror, because I didn't expect that Mo Fushan knew all these things.

But this is normal. After all, he is the helmsman of the Mo Qian Group and is definitely not an ordinary person. If he didn't understand these things and came to contact me, then the Mo Qian Group he is at the helm of might have collapsed in the history books long ago.

But what really shocked me was that I seemed to be involved in a chess game that did not belong to me without realizing it. What was worse was...what role did I play in it?

PS: I have been updating recently because it is exam week. I have exams or review sessions almost every day. Today’s update is a little late because I just finished my Mao Zedong Thought exam. Although it was very thrilling, I was lucky enough to pass it at a low altitude.

During this period of time, I can only find time to see if I have the energy to update twice a day. The updates I owe will definitely be made up after the exams, and this period will not affect the normal daily updates. You can rest assured, there will be no glitches!

Chapter 92 Night Breeze

After that, I talked a lot with Mo Fushan. I could tell from his words that he was trying to please me, but of course I wouldn't get carried away and really think that I had become the so-called child of destiny and could easily get the favor of a big shot like Mo Fushan.

In other words, I have understood what he wanted to express from his series of hints and metaphors. This made me feel that Mo Fushan is indeed a successful businessman, and at the same time, I secretly admired the meticulousness of Mo Fushan, an industry-leading entrepreneur.

Mo Fushan sent me signals of goodwill and even recruitment, but I don’t think it was because of my special qualities, or that my words changed his mind. Rather, he was attracted by my complex and ambiguous identity, which had unknowingly caught up in various forces.

Letting me become Mo Yuhan's teacher may also be a way for him to balance various forces. In addition, my real identity is just an ordinary student...

While having a clear identity, one's influence is also low, and the cost of abandoning him when necessary is much smaller. Of course, the second half is just my guess, but I think it is not impossible.

"It's not too late if you regret it now."

"There is nothing to regret. This is my choice."

After sorting out and analyzing all of this, I just felt that I was deeply involved in a chess game played by others. The huge network composed of countless interests became the chessboard of this game. Everyone was a chess piece on the board, and even I was a chess piece in the hands of others, but I didn't have too much aversion.

After all, this is my own choice, and it is also a normal thing in society. After all, when you feel that you have received a gift from God, you have already paid the price for this gift in the dark, and how much the price is depends on how much you get.

"No wonder Xiaohan chose you as her teacher. You really suit her temper." Mo Fushan said slowly, "But this girl has been very strong since she was young. She is also relatively withdrawn and even has her own little temper. As a father, I owe her a lot. I hope... you can be more tolerant of her in the future."

At this point, Mo Fushan sighed. At this moment, I just felt that this well-known entrepreneur who was once a big shot in the business world seemed to have aged a lot at this moment, like an old man looking back on his half-life but full of regrets.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the meeting room, followed by Uncle Chen's voice:

"Mr. Mo, there is a meeting at the group that needs you to host. I'll go get the car ready first."

"it is good!"

After hearing what Uncle Chen said, Mo Fushan used this opportunity to end the conversation, then patted me on the shoulder and said:

"I'll treat you to a good meal at home later. It will also be my honor as a host."

I don't know what the deep meaning of Mo Fushan's words is. Maybe he is trying to be nice to me, or maybe he is trying to appease and maintain my stability. After all, I don't think that a big shot like Mo Fushan would really take the time to invite me to have a meal in his villa.

In the final analysis...this kind of intrigue among high-level officials is not something that a student like me can come into contact with or even imagine. After all, this kind of life is too far away from me, even out of reach.

However, because my mind was still thinking about these things, when I opened the door, I didn't react for a moment and bumped into the figure in front of me. I looked down and found that the person in front of me was none other than Mo Yuhan.

Judging from the situation, he must have been leaning against the door trying to eavesdrop after Uncle Chen left. Although I don't know how soundproof the conference room is, Mo Fushan didn't say anything important to me after that.

Although I guessed Mo Yuhan's motive, holding someone else's daughter in his arms in front of her father, doesn't this seem like a naked provocation?

"Cough cough!"

As Mo Fushan coughed solemnly behind me, I felt my whole body stiffen, but fortunately Mo Fushan was also a sensible man and didn't say anything. After all, even I guessed Mo Yuhan's little thoughts, so how could he not guess it?

"Xiao Han, it's time to go."

"But......"

At this moment, Mo Fushan's cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it seemed to be an important call. He looked at me and then at Mo Yuhan, sighed, answered the call, and walked quickly downstairs.

For a moment, Mo Yuhan and I were the only ones left in the corridor. Although her fair face was full of calmness at the moment, her uneasiness could be seen from her little hands that were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.

Seeing this, I sighed and briefly recounted to her what had just happened, but I still kept some things to myself. After all, from the purpose of Mo Fushan talking to me alone, perhaps out of a father's protection of his daughter, I could see that he deliberately didn't want Mo Yuhan to know these things.

"Then teacher...can you come to my house next time?"

"Of course."

I smiled at her and subconsciously reached out to touch her head. By the time I reacted, I had already shivered unconsciously. After all, Mo Fushan had just left. If he came back and saw this scene, wouldn't I be unable to explain it even if I had a mouth?

However, Mo Yuhan seemed unaware of all this, or didn't seem to care. She no longer had the demeanor of a little lion, but looked like a cute house cat.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. Uncle Chen will come to urge us soon. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it next time."

Although I still have a lot to say, now doesn't seem to be the time for a long chat. After hearing what I said, Mo Yuhan showed some hesitation in his eyes, but still nodded and left.

It's just that this girl seemed to be worried that I would disappear if she turned her head, so she looked back every three or five steps when she left. I just waved and smiled silently every time, until she disappeared at the end of the corridor, then I slowly put down my hand and walked towards the outer gate of the teaching building.

I didn't meet many people along the way. Only a few students passed by me. I was dressed in a formal suit and seemed out of place compared to them at this moment.

Even though I know that I didn't have such thoughts because of this dress, I still have this inexplicable feeling. My current life seems to be the ideal campus life I expected, but all this gives me the illusion of a mirage.

When I walked out of the teaching building, a gust of cold wind made me shiver, but also dispelled many of the heavy emotions in my body.

The campus is particularly lively in the evening. What's more, opposite the teaching building is a small commercial street within the school. From time to time, there are many people and even some couples shopping and walking nearby, which arouses the envy and jealousy of a group of single dogs like me.

Forget it, forget it, let’s go back and find Fatty and the others as soon as possible.

I exhaled and planned to walk towards the dormitory, but before I took a step, I discovered something very strange, that is, many people cast various kinds of looks in my direction from time to time.

Um?what's the situation?

Although I know that clothes make the man, and my temperament has indeed improved a few levels after putting on this suit, it shouldn't be so eye-catching, right? And...why are most of the people looking at me men?

Wait a minute, this familiar feeling, why does it feel so strong like déjà vu?

I carefully observed their gazes for a while, then looked to my side and found a long-haired girl wearing formal clothes like me leaning against the wall looking at the scenery in the distance.

The night breeze gently blew her long black hair, and the dim lights from the street fell on her body, illuminating her slim figure. No matter whether it was the professional hip skirt or the black stockings on her legs, they gave people a feeling of temptation at this moment.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or if my gaze was too strong, but she seemed to sense something and slowly turned her head, and for a moment our eyes met.

At this moment, I instinctively stepped back. A feeling of unreality filled my mind, as if I was in a dream for a moment. I felt as if time had slowly stopped at this moment.

For a moment, I felt like I was standing there like a statue. I felt like I might be dazzled or I might have recognized the wrong person, because she should have gone back by now, right? I looked at the girl in front of me, and then saw her lips move slightly:

"Waiting for you for a long time."

Time seemed to start flowing again, and I was finally sure that I had not mistaken the person, or rather... it was impossible to be wrong after hearing this sweet voice like a silver bell.

"Bai...Bai Yun, why are you here?"

Although I thought Bai Yun was waiting for someone else, her words and her eyes staring at me shattered all my fantasies.

Bai Yun is waiting for me? Why is she waiting for me? And judging from what she just said...she must have been waiting for a long time.

You know, it's been a while since the election conference ended. Could it be that Bai Yun has been standing here waiting for me? And...where is this little girl Liu Tongtong? If Bai Yun is here...where is she?

At that moment, countless questions came to me like a tide, and the unknown made me feel uneasy.

Many students who were walking around the commercial street stopped and looked over here after noticing Bai Yun's appearance. What was worse was that I seemed to see a few familiar faces that I had seen at the general meeting. They looked over here with a gloating expression on their faces, and I didn't even know what they were saying to the people around them.

At this moment, I felt that my mood had hit rock bottom, and Bai Yun was walking towards me quickly. Her face did not have the familiar smile as usual, and an extremely bad premonition arose in my heart.

Although I know Bai Yun is not that kind of girl, but... I guess after something like the election conference happened, she would come to me for an explanation no matter how good her temper is, right?

At this moment, I was like a prisoner heading to the execution ground, waiting for the last moment to come. However, after a long time, I found that what I was waiting for was not a harsh judgment, but a...belated concern.

Chapter 93: Tree-lined Path

I thought I would wait for Bai Yun to question me harshly, or something worse to happen, so I sighed and closed my eyes as if I had accepted my fate.

But after a long time, I still didn't feel the burning pain on my face. Even the joking voices around me seemed to be much quieter at this moment.

Just when I was feeling confused, I felt someone pulling my arm. The sudden experience almost made me stagger and lose my balance. Then I felt a soft touch on my arm.

What's going on? Is it because what I did was so evil that Bai Yun is going to throw me over the shoulder to relieve her hatred? Not really!

I opened my eyes with some surprise, but found that the scene in front of me was not what I imagined. I saw Bai Yun holding my arm, looking up at me quietly, and at this moment I finally saw her face clearly.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and there was no doubt or indignation in her black eyes. On the contrary... the expression on her face revealed a kind of concern and a little worry. It seemed that the development of things was not as bad as I imagined.

In fact...it can even be said to be quite different.
