"Brother, her family is in Kyoto. They're different from others; they're worldly people."

Yang Dazhi recalled the slap Xia Yichu had given him yesterday and the threats she had made. He figured this was no small matter; how could she possibly panic?

"Oh, if her family is in Kyoto, why is she studying at university in Shenzhen?"

Huang Shuyuan asked, puzzled, "She was able to get into Pengcheng University, which means her grades are pretty good. Getting into any university like Kyoto University shouldn't be a problem."

After all, the admission scores for locals are relatively lower than those for non-locals. Even if they can't get into a top university, they can still apply to other universities.

"Brother, about this..."

Seeing Xia Yichu approach, Yang Dazhi immediately fell silent. He didn't really want his brother-in-law to know about Xia Yichu's background.

"Deputy Director Huang, Deputy Factory Director Yang, come on, have some water."

Xia Yichu came over with two glasses of water and gave one to each of them.

"Thanks"

"Thanks"

The two thanked him in unison, but Xia Yichu didn't sit down. Looking down at him, she asked, "May I ask what brings you two here today?"

Yang Dazhi didn't release Wang Shengli yesterday, and she was even prepared to completely break ties with him. She gave them water because Huang Shuyuan was also there, hoping to see if there was any chance of a change in the situation.

"Miss Xia, is this yours?"

Huang Shuyuan took a voice recorder out of her pocket and turned it on. Her conversation with Yang Dazhi came through; Xia Yichu showed no expression. After listening for a while, Huang Shuyuan turned it off and put it back in her pocket.

When Yang Dazhi learned this morning that Xia Yichu had recorded their conversation from the previous day and delivered it to Director Zhang's house, he broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, he was vigilant enough not to reveal Yu Jianfei's matter.

Before coming to Xia Yichu's house, Huang Shuyuan gave him a severe dressing-down. Huang Shuyuan knew about his affairs with other women. After all, it was her sister who had found him first, and she had said she didn't mind Yang Dazhi having affairs.

When Yang Dazhi first found out, his brothers-in-law tried to stop her and even went to their house to give their sister a good scolding. But it was no use, and now they can't be bothered with it anymore.

"That's right, these are my things. Deputy Director Huang, you've got some good skills."

If time hadn't been so tight, Xia Yichu would have wanted to deliver the recording pen to another leader's home.

"Miss Xia, we're in the same boat. If you ask me, don't waste your time and energy. Focus on your university studies. Some things are not your concern as a student."

It wasn't easy for you to get into university; don't ruin your future. As far as I know, you have no relation to the Wang family; your cousin only worked with them for a little over a month. You don't need to jeopardize your future for the Wang family, do you agree?

Yang Dazhi had already inquired about Xia Yichu yesterday from someone in the factory who was on good terms with Wang Shengli. He said that he had often heard about Xia Yichu from Wang Shengli.

"Deputy Director Huang, this is also what I want to advise you. You have no grudge against the Wang family, so there's no need to jeopardize your future for Yang Dazhi. It wasn't easy for you to become the deputy director."

I spoke with Yang Dazhi yesterday and told him to release the Wang family father and son. He can then become the factory director, and the Wang family won't stand in his way of getting promoted.

This would be a win-win situation, wouldn't it? It's a pity he's unwilling and hasn't released Wang Shengli yet. Now we can only rely on our own abilities and see who emerges victorious in the end.

After hearing Xia Yichu's words, Huang Shuyuan stood up angrily and said, "Miss Xia, you have quite the nerve. We'll see. Dazhi, let's go. I want to see what Miss Xia is capable of."

Yang Dazhi didn't react much to this. He had already witnessed Xia Yichu's arrogance yesterday, and he followed Huang Shuyuan around like a puppy.

After they left, Xia Yichu knew that the Xia family's affairs could not be delayed any longer, so she went inside to call Wu Mingli. Today happened to be Sunday, and she hoped he was home.

"Hey, Wu Shushu, you're home! Yes, I'd like to come find you now. Oh, okay, bye."

Xia Yichu hung up the phone, went to her space to find something to take with her, bought a steamed bun on the way, and then took a taxi to Wu Mingli's house.

Just like the first time she visited the Wu family, Wu Mingli was already waiting for her by the roadside when she arrived. Xia Yichu asked the driver to stop, paid, and got out of the car immediately. Wu Mingli saw her and quickly walked over.

Uncle Wu

"Xiao Chu, why are you buying things here? I won't accept them. Take them back later."

Wu Mingli frowned as he looked at the two bags in her hands. Xia Yichu had given his daughter the jade pendant for peace when they returned to their old house for the New Year.

A relative who runs a jade business said that his daughter's Hetian jade peace lock pendant is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. He has been in the jade business for almost ten years and has never seen Hetian jade with such a warm and delicate color.

Wu Mingli and Chen Wanrou were startled and immediately made their daughter take off the safety lock. Their daughter loved wearing it, and it took them a long time to coax her to take it off.

"Uncle Wu, these are the rag dolls I bought for Jiao Jiao in Kyoto, and a box of Kyoto Eight Treasures."

My cousin got married a few days ago, and I went to Kyoto for his wedding. My grandma bought me several boxes of loquat syrup, which I couldn't finish myself. I also made my own loquat syrup; I only have one bottle left, so I brought it for you to mix with water.

Xia Yichu knew that Wu Mingli wouldn't accept things casually. She had just been looking at what to bring when she visited his home and was pleasantly surprised to find a bottle of loquat syrup left in the corner of the space.

The dolls were indeed bought in Kyoto. She went shopping once and thought they were pretty, so she bought four on a whim. The one in her hand is a rabbit.

She then took out several boxes of the "Eight Treasures of Beijing" that Grandma Xia had bought for her from her spatial storage. They wouldn't spoil if stored there. She didn't dare bring anything else; Wu Mingli wouldn't accept too much anyway.

Hearing Xia Yichu's words, Wu Mingli's expression improved considerably, and he took the things from her hands.

"Come home with me first, we'll talk about it when we get home."

"it is good"

Wu Mingli walked ahead, greeting acquaintances along the way. He introduced Xia Yichu in a generous manner, telling them that she was a junior member of the family, a university student, and had come to visit on Sunday.

No one asked any further questions. Anyone who could be Wu Mingli's neighbor and hold an official position was a shrewd person. They wouldn't ask a single unnecessary question, simply praising Xia Yichu a couple of times before leaving.

"Little Chu, what would you like to drink?"

Wu Mingli invited Xia Yichu to sit down and placed his things on the table.

"Drink plain water"

"Sister Wang, pour me a glass of water and get me a bottle of soda."

Wu Mingli called out towards the kitchen, afraid that Xia Yichu would feel embarrassed and ask him for another bottle of soda.

"OK"

The voice of Wu's housekeeper came from the kitchen. After a while, she came out with a glass of water and a cup of tea. She placed the tea in front of Wu Mingli and then took a bottle of soda and placed it in front of Xia Yichu.

"Uncle Wu, where's Jiaojiao?"

Xia Yichu noticed that the house was quiet, and neither Jiaojiao nor her mother were there.

"She went to her maternal grandmother's house with her mother and won't be back until tonight. Xiao Chu, did your teacher come back for your cousin's wedding this time?"

Xia Yichu shook her head, and Wu Mingli sighed in disappointment. He was still thinking about when his teacher would return to Kyoto, and he was determined to find time to see him.
