Chapter 870 - 868: Unreliable

The golden morning sunlight spread across the earth, and the farmers in the countryside had already started working early.

Yao Peifang, who drove early from Huo Mountain to Mo Jingchun’s hometown, looked around and found the scenery everywhere.

Even the roadside landscaping was unmatched by that in the county.

"It’s nice to have money."

Thinking of the company’s task for her to understand local wedding customs and practices, Yao Peifang took a deep breath of fresh air and approached an elderly farmer bending over and busy in the distant farmland.

Yao Peifang was grateful she listened to her manager’s advice and didn’t wear high heels.

Otherwise, walking would be difficult.

"Hey Uncle～"

"Hey Uncle～"

Yao Peifang saw the farmer in the distance didn’t respond for a while; she thought maybe he didn’t hear her because of hearing problems.

So she walked closer and shouted loudly, "Uncle!"

Mo Yuanqi, who was working, looked up in surprise at the colorful-dressed girl in front of him, whose age he couldn’t determine, and said:

"Are you calling me?"

The smile on Yao Peifang’s face froze slightly.

Now that he raised his head, Yao Peifang noticed he was just a young lad in his twenties.

From his appearance, he might have been a childhood playmate of Mr. Mo.

Mo Yuanqi looked at the person in front of him amusingly and said with a cheerful smile:

"Since you called me uncle, feel free to ask anything, as long as it doesn’t touch on Mo Jingchun’s personal privacy; I can tell you."

"How did you know I would ask about Mo Jingchun?" Yao Peifang was a bit surprised.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanqi took off his straw hat to fan, and laughed:

"You people from out of town mostly come asking about Mo Jingchun. I’ve lost count of how many sought me for information."

"You know why I work here every day."

Looking at the smiling young guy in front of her, Yao Peifang thought to herself, how would I know.

"To be honest, I discovered a way to make money here. Consulting with me costs a thousand each time."

Yao Peifang was somewhat incredulous and widened her eyes.

"A thousand?"

"Of course, isn’t consulting a lawyer even more expensive? Besides, I’ve played with Mo Jingchun since childhood, holding exclusive information."

Looking at the confident man dressed as an uncle, Yao Peifang’s mouth twitched.

A thousand, he really dares to charge!

"Cough cough, aren’t you afraid Mr. Mo will give you trouble?"

"Trouble?" Mo Yuanqi disdainfully glanced at Yao Peifang, who seemed to want a freebie, and said:

"I told you, I won’t discuss privacy issues, and Mo Jingchun doesn’t mind. Last New Year, I mentioned this to him, guess what!"

"Hey! He told me to cheat a few more, one by one, especially foreign friends."

Yao Peifang seriously considered Mo Yuanqi and took out her phone from her purse.

"Do you accept Alipay transfers?"

"Certainly!"

......

"Alipay payment of 1000 yuan received."

"Thank you, miss. Which aspect would you like to consult about?"

Having paid, Yao Peifang was no longer as polite.

After all, she was now a customer.

"I’m from National Day Company. I’m here to understand local wedding customs and Mr. Mo’s hobbies."

"Oh, how did you know he’s getting married?"

Well-prepared, Yao Peifang took out a picture and said, "Mr. Mo commissioned us to plan his wedding."

Mo Yuanqi took a glance at the photo of the contract and felt it didn’t seem fake; even if it was, the local customs weren’t a secret. You could ask any old uncle.

"You’ve found the right person. I’m very knowledgeable about my hometown’s customs."

"Come on, let’s find a shady place to chat slowly."

"Not working anymore?"

"Farming is just a side job."

Meanwhile, Wei Luxue, who hired a substitute driver, was sitting in the passenger seat eating a lollipop, creating a group chat and adding two younger students.

"Hey guys, your senior will reach the high-speed train station in about ten minutes, don’t wander off, or I might not find you."

At the high-speed train station exit, two tall handsome guys, each with a suitcase and backpack.

Seeing the message in the group chat, they exchanged looks.

"Senior seems a bit clueless."

"Cough cough～ don’t let her hear that, she’s famously smart at school, second only to our mentor."

"Speaking of which, it’s really absurd; though we’re all in our early twenties, the difference is huge. I’m also one of those ’other people’s children’ after all."

Upon hearing this, another boy with glasses pushed the frame up and smiled:

"Don’t try to compare yourself with the mentor or senior; they’re legends. Compared to the senior, I’m more curious about Candy Technology’s lab, it’s been hyped online, but I’m not sure if we’ll get the chance to go in."

"I think it seems unlikely."

"Not necessarily, even senior can get in."

Ten minutes passed quickly, and they spotted a business sedan with the Candy Technology logo immediately.

"Come on, let me help you with your luggage."

Facing the two younger students, Wei Luxue got a bit excited at the thought of managing the two people in the future.

She eagerly went forward intending to help with the luggage.

"Hmm?!"

"What’s in there? Why so heavy?"

Once in the car, the two younger students looked at the driver smiling at them and froze for a moment.

The outfit wasn’t that of a regular driver; it was indeed a substitute driver.

"Cough cough, don’t look at me; I’m a novice driver. For everyone’s safety, I hired a substitute driver."

"Driver, let’s go! We still have to rush back for lunch."

"Okay!"

It was a bit quiet in the car.

The two people in the backseat exchanged worried looks, feeling a bit apprehensive about the next two years.

Having such an unreliable senior, is it going to be okay?

Before coming here, the dean talked to them about how their mentor might not have much time to manage them.

..................

"Come on, everyone, bring your Chinese summer homework to the podium; let me see who’s been playing at home."

As soon as the teacher spoke, the classroom buzzed with activity.

As the study committee member, Candy took the initiative to be the first to stand up and turn in the Chinese summer homework.

Next, students rushed to submit their Chinese summer homework.

Just a few students looked a bit anxious.

"Candy, did you finish all your homework?"

"Hmm hmm." Candy nodded vigorously at Xiang’Er and giggled, "I finished it early; otherwise, my brother wouldn’t take me out to play."

"That’s good; I overheard the principal demanding strict inspection of summer homework when I went to the office before class."

"Huh? Why?"

"Shh～ It seems the sixth-grade graduates didn’t score well on the exams."

"Don’t tell anyone else, okay?"
