Chapter 202 The Adult World
"Aunt, my dad does have an older sister, she's my eldest aunt, her name is Yang Jiafen."

After Yang Xiao answered truthfully, Liu Xiaolan nodded and said:
"That's right. Your dad and I were classmates in junior high school. When your dad was studying, your aunt often came to the school to bring him lunch. I didn't expect that you, the next generation, would also become classmates."

After saying that, Liu Xiaolan looked at Yang Xiao deeply, and there seemed to be a hint of sigh in her meaningful eyes.

Yang Xiao didn't expect that the parents of both parties actually had some connection.

However, my father seemed to have finished his studies after junior high school, and then entered society and got together with my mother.

Yang Xiao didn't know how deep their relationship was, so he didn't comment on it.

I could only pick up the second half of Liu Xiaolan's words and echo:
"Maybe this is fate."

Liu Xiaolan felt that the way the boy in front of her spoke was a bit old-fashioned.

It is completely different from other people of the same age.

Liu Xiaolan also stopped talking about the matter between her daughter and Yang Xiao.

She believed that her daughter knew her limits in everything, so she changed the subject and asked:

"Are you here alone? Has the registration for new students at Shenzhen University ended?"

"There are still two days left for registration, so I came here early."

Liu Xiaolan was a little surprised to hear this answer.

She heard from her sister Liu Xiaoli that this child was in Yanjing with Luo Yao a few days ago, and now he did not return to Lincheng but came directly to Shenzhen alone. Presumably, the expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation must be very expensive, right?

Now in Liu Xiaolan's eyes.

Yang Xiao's actions, first chasing to Yanjing, and then coming to Shenzhen in advance, weren't they definitely for the purpose of pursuing his own daughter?

This boy is thoughtful.

Liu Xiaolan was even a little puzzled.

Wow, I haven’t heard my friends from back home talk about this.

I haven't heard from Yang Jianguo for some years. Could it be that he has made a fortune as a self-employed individual?
Just pamper your own son like this, okay?

However, as an elder, she was still quite generous and could not say whether she was satisfied with Yang Xiao or not. But due to this relationship, she took the initiative to invite him:

"Well, as you said, since we have met, it is fate. Now it is noon, let's go out for dinner together."

Yang Xiao hesitated for a few seconds and was about to agree.

Luo Yao suddenly said, "Mom, forget it. Yang Xiao has a few classmates with him, so it's a bit inconvenient. You should go to Aunt Chen first."

Luo Yao checked with Yang Xiao in advance and knew that Zhou Hongyu and two other friends would be there, so she immediately spoke up to help them out and avoided the embarrassment of having too many people around.

She saw Yang Xiao's hesitation just now and did not agree immediately. She was thinking about how to accommodate them.

However, when his future mother-in-law invited him to dinner, Yang Xiao couldn't refuse no matter what. At most, he could let Zhou Hongyu and the others solve it themselves. He would probably be secretly happy about it.

"What about you? Won't you come with me?"

Luo Yao bit her lip, looked at Yang Xiao, and then turned to Liu Xiaolan: "I'll come over this afternoon."

Liu Xiaolan's expression remained unchanged. She didn't say much and nodded slightly.

She has always done things decently and respects her daughter's ideas. She will not force anything on her.

Even if I feel a little uncomfortable, I will not show it in front of outsiders.

Liu Xiaolan immediately made a phone call and walked to the school gate. After a while, a white BMW arrived and she opened the door and got in.

After closing the car door, she let out a long breath through her nostrils, and she looked quite angry.

The driver was also a plump woman wearing sunglasses and light makeup:

"What's wrong with you? Where's Yaoyao?"

"Don't mention it. He's with his classmates. He doesn't even want me as his mother."

"Yaoyao, do you have any classmates at Zhongda? Both male and female."

"He's not from Zhongda University, he's from Shenzhen University."

"Oh, isn't it your boyfriend?"

When the woman driving the car saw that she got no response for a long time, she glanced at Liu Xiaolan.

"My goodness, am I right?"

Liu Xiaolan nodded helplessly at this time, and this expression surprised the woman driving the car.

"Where is this boy from? What's his family?"

"Forget it, Chen Li, don't ask. I'm from Huicheng, my family is average."

Chen Li heard this and joked while driving:

"Why wouldn't I believe this? An ordinary family? How could they be pleasing to you, Liu Xiaolan?"

"If you don't believe me, forget it. My family is just an individual business owner selling mobile phones."

Liu Xiaolan didn't explain anything.

She actually didn't object to her daughter dating Yang Xiao.

In her eyes, it was precisely because of her daughter's excellence that she was worried that Luo Yao was too picky, looked down on everyone, and had some character flaws.

Now it seems that there is nothing special about Yang Xiao except that he seems to be more stable.

She was even more angry that Luo Yao actually chose Yang Xiao and, for the first time ever, did not listen to her and go with her.

Maybe my daughter has really grown up.

But Liu Xiaolan still felt that the situation was out of her control, and she felt extremely conflicted.

Chen Li said, "Self-employed? Come on, how can this be worthy of our Yaoyao? Why don't we wait for our Xiaowei to come back from abroad and let the two children go their separate ways."

"Well, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Liu Xiaolan did not comment.

"When will you return to Lincheng?"

"I have to go back tomorrow. I have some work to do at work and I'm in a hurry."

"It's okay, just go back without worry. I'll take care of Yaoyao. I'll take her out for a good meal on weekends. If her clothes are dirty and need to be washed, just bring them to me. It's convenient."

"It depends on her personal wishes. I think it's difficult. Luo Yao doesn't like to trouble others."

"What you said, is Aunt Chen an outsider?"

Looking at Liu Xiaolan getting into the BMW and driving away, Yang Xiao felt a little worried about Luo Yao.

"You won't make your mother angry by doing this, will you?"

Luo Yao shook her head slightly to indicate that everything was fine.

Yang Xiao asked her about the details of her report today.

Luo Yao and Liu Xiaolan flew to Shenzhen yesterday and stayed at the home of the one she called "Aunt Chen".

Today, "Auntie Chen" also sent them to school, reported to the department, and met the counselor.

Even my mother was very savvy about the ways of the world and brought two bottles of Moutai and a can of specialty tea.

After some polite talks, the counselor had no choice but to accept it and even left a contact number to facilitate future communication with the student.

Yang Xiao didn't think much of it. It was already 2011 and it was considered a routine operation.

Why do some parents go all the way to send their children to school?
Isn't that what it's for?

There are even evening parties to keep in touch with class teachers and tutors.

All I can say is that there are human relationships everywhere.

Li Yuanbao, who was standing behind him, was secretly shocked when he heard these words.

Two questions suddenly emerged in his mind and he began to think about them.

Do teachers actually accept gifts?

Did Luo Yao’s mother come here specifically to give gifts?

If it's true, this is too mercenary.
Just now he was standing behind Yang Xiao like a minion, and under Liu Xiaolan's aura, he felt uneasy standing there.

Even when he heard Liu Xiaolan invite them to have lunch together, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Liu Xiaolan was dressed decently and looked more fashionable wearing sunglasses.

In his eyes, they were like different classes.

It seemed that my sick mother had never used skin care products in her life, nor had she ever worn such high-end sunglasses.

When encountering such a situation, Li Yuanbao always couldn't help but think of his own family's situation, and then developed a sense of powerlessness and inferiority. In contrast, Yang Xiao's calmness and calm response made him admire him very much.

After Liu Xiaolan left, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Xiao and said:
"You have such an aura, you're really awesome, and you even dare to admit openly that you're in love with Luo Yao."

"piece of cake."

Yang Xiaoqian pretends to be cool, but hides his achievements and fame.

Yang Xiao knew that he and Luo Yao's trip to Yanjing could not be hidden from Liu Xiaolan, so it would be better to just admit it directly.

However, Li Yuanbao didn't know the details, so he didn't explain it to him.

Suddenly, Yang Xiao's cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that the caller was Zhou Hongyu.

"Hello? Brother Xiao, where are you?"

"At the school gate, was Tan Yue's admission formalities completed so quickly?"

"Stop talking. I came to you just for this."

After saying that, Zhou Hongyu hung up the phone.

Yang Xiao and the others waited for a few minutes under the shade of the trees at the school gate.

"Here it is."

Yang Xiao waved his hand. Zhou Hongyu saw it and ran over breathlessly. Seeing Luo Yao beside him, he teased:

"Hey, brother's wife has finished reporting so soon?"

"Have you finished reporting with your 'Xiao Yue'?"

Luo Yao blushed when she heard this, but she didn't feel embarrassed or angry, and immediately fought back.

Yang Xiao also followed up with, "Still talking nonsense, what happened? Why are you alone?"

"Don't mention it. Didn't someone from CUHK contact Tan Yue because of your documentary? That person is called Teacher Zhan, and he said he would waive her tuition or something.

Now that we are here, we call Teacher Zhan but his phone is turned off. We contacted the head teacher of their department and they said they didn’t know about it and hadn’t received any notification. They asked us to go to the administrative office. When we went there, they said Teacher Zhan was out for training and his phone was turned off during the day. They were not responsible for this matter. What do you think we should do now?”

"When will Teacher Zhan come back?"

"I heard that it's already mid-September, so the flowers will be cold by then? Will Tan Yue still sign up?"

Zhou Hongyu said with some annoyance when he encountered this kind of situation where people were blaming each other and wrangling.

"We really can't just sit there and wait. I'm afraid if we don't pay the fees now, the admission procedures won't be completed."

"If it really doesn't work, just pay the fee first and we can contact you later." Li Yuanbao came up with an idea at this time.

Yang Xiao shook his head and said, "No, it's easy to pay but hard to get a refund. It will be hard to argue when the time comes."

Zhou Hongyu echoed, "Yes, Tan Yue only has a total of more than 10,000 yuan now, including Binzi's salary. How much money will be left after paying the tuition?"

Then he raised the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something, and said, "I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

Zhou Hongyu said anxiously: "It's already this late, why are you still keeping us in suspense?"

"Here, give me your phone."

Zhou Hongyu followed his instructions and handed over his cell phone.

Yang Xiao opened his wap version of Weibo.

Then I changed to my own account.

Then, he searched for a long time and found a private message.

[From the official Weibo account of Sun Yat-sen University: Hello, Shi Guang, we would like to verify with you about "Xiao Yue" who appeared in your documentary.]

"Go to their administration department and show this to them. They should be able to help you resolve the issue. If they continue to quibble, you can say that you want to expose Zhongda for breaking his word."

"Hey, how can this be so embarrassing?"

After listening to Yang Xiao's instructions again, Zhou Hongyu took his phone and ran away immediately.

Yang Xiao didn't plan to personally deal with this kind of thing.

Even though Tan Yue knew that he was the real boss, he still planned to give this chance to show off to Lao Zhou.

Just do your assisting job!
Yang Xiao didn't plan to continue waiting at the school gate. He took Luo Yao and Li Yuanbao out of the school and found a cold drink shop to sit down.

Each person ordered a cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea.

After sitting for almost an hour, it was almost noon when Zhou Hongyu, Tan Yue and Tan Bin showed up.

Zhou Hongyu was sweating profusely at this time. He used his hands as a fan to fan the air: "Damn, it's too damn hot in Shenzhen."

"Is the matter resolved?"

"Of course, these people are so damn snobby, they probably saw that I was just a student at first and refused to buy my story.

I will take out your account directly. When he saw that I had more than 5 million followers on Weibo, he immediately shut up! He immediately made a few phone calls and helped Tan Yue deal with the tuition issue. "

Zhou Hongyu boasted about this and glanced at Tan Yue beside him with a guilty look.

In fact, things are not at all as he said.

Before leaving just now, Yang Xiao specifically asked about the ages of the staff in the administrative department. He heard that there was only one young employee around 30 years old, so he had a rough idea of ​​the number.

He asked Zhou Hongyu to buy a pack of cigarettes and put it in his pocket.

When meeting someone, offer a cigarette first and use courtesy before force.

Then show the things on Weibo to the other party.

If we can't come to an agreement on this, then let's talk about the public opinion revelations.

Don't be a fool and say threatening words.

Otherwise it will end badly.

After all, work is work, and people do their job impartially. No matter how much you make a fuss, at most they will receive some criticism, but they will not lose their jobs.

In this kind of situation, you are the only one who suffers in silence.

Zhou Hongyu said "I understand" as if he understood.

He spent such a long time with Yang Xiao during this holiday, and actually learned a lot from him.

After listening to Yang Xiao's words, he resolutely spent 500 yuan and bought a pack of cigarettes, which was not cheap, at a nearby supermarket.

Then act according to what Yang Xiao said.

After all, he was asking someone to do something for him, so he lowered his posture a bit this time.

In the end, not only did the other party successfully accept the gift, but the other party also thought that Zhou Hongyu was "Shi Guang" himself. He very politely added Zhou Hongyu's QQ and said that he would contact him later.

This incident made Zhou Hongyu feel very conflicted, and he even had doubts at one point.

In fact, it seems that this can be done without the support of Yang Xiao’s Weibo account, right?

This thing is just a backup.

But the most important thing seems to be that he lowered his posture and said a few polite words politely?
Or was it the cigarette that was given away that played a role?
Why are they being made difficult for no reason? Are these teachers unwilling to even help their students?

Or is this the adult world?

He was a little confused for a moment.

However, he was also somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, he asked Tan Yue to wait for him downstairs of the administrative building in advance and she did not go with him.

Zhou Hongyu had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In short, he was really afraid of this girl after seeing the look on his face just now.

He himself felt a little sick.

Yang Xiao seemed to notice something strange about him and felt a little amused.

It’s never a bad thing for Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao to experience more things like this.

After all, aren’t these the complicated and disgusting things that we have to face in life?

Yang Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Let's go, let's have dinner together."
