"Please come in."

There was a steady voice from the other side of the door.

Yuan Mu lowered his head and stretched the coat more flat, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed the door open.

On the side of the door is the reception area, the black desk is separated by a half-person-high filing cabinet, the person behind the desk puts down the pen and looks up, meeting Yuan Mu's eyes.

An unexpected gaze stops time.

Five seconds, ten seconds, Sheng Fengshi blinked and cut off the invisible thread.The picture flowed again, Yuan Mu walked in, Sheng Fengshi stood up, the two stood tacitly in the reception area, about 1.2 meters apart, then Sheng Fengshi stretched out his hand, Yuan Mu bowed.

Sheng Fengshi withdrew his hand, bowed to her, and smiled: "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Teacher Sheng." Yuan Mu sat on the single sofa, took off the canvas bag and put it on his lap, and took out a stack of thin proof materials from it.

Sheng Fengshi took two cups of warm water with a paper cup, one was placed in front of Yuan Mu, and the other was also placed on the tea table after sitting down. The distance between the two of them was still about 1.2 meters.The room was quiet, Sheng Fengshi flipped through the materials one by one, Yuan Mu took a sip of water, put down his cup, and took another sip after a while.

"Yuan Mu, right?"

"Correct."

Yuan Mu took the materials, put them in his bag, and put his fists on his knees.

Sheng Fengshi: "I'm Zou Qi's counselor. I'm in charge of the students' study, life and other aspects, so from now on I'll be in charge of coordinating the whole matter. You can contact me directly, understand?"

Yuan Mu nodded: "Understood."

Sheng Fengshi: "One thing I want to explain in advance is that our college not only cares for students, but we also have the duty of protection. In the whole process of helping you, I must put students' mental health and personal choices first. Please understand a little bit."

Yuan Mu nodded: "Understood."

Sheng Fengshi: "When the teacher from the school's Academic Affairs Office called me, were you there?"

Yuan Mu nodded: "Yes."

Sheng Fengshi: "Besides what you said on the phone, do you have any other information or thoughts to add? The more information I have, the better it will be for me to help you."

Yuan Mu thought for a moment and said, "My father and I don't want to disturb Zou Qi's life. We didn't know Zou Qi was adopted at the beginning. After knowing this, we have been looking for today, in order to see her live a happy life with our own eyes. Okay. If she is willing and her adoptive parents agree, we want to recognize her and get along with her as relatives. If Zou Qi lives well and doesn't want to have any contact with us, we can accept it and won't embarrass her Or her current family will not make trouble at school, please rest assured."

Sheng Fengshi couldn't help but look at the young girl differently, and asked, "That is to say, you have no other demands?"

Yuan Mu pursed his lips, seemed a little embarrassed, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Sheng Fengshi: "Teacher Sheng, can I see her first?"

Sheng Fengshi smiled, it seemed that she was still anxious. "On the subject, I think..."

There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting their conversation.Sheng Fengshi said sorry in a low voice, then raised his voice and said, "Please come in."

A girl with Nezha's head came in, with a very cute smile on her face. Seeing Yuan Mu, the girl made a surprised monophonic "Oh", stuck out her tongue and bowed and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Sheng Feng was stunned for a while, thinking that maybe it was God's will, and asked with a smile: "Zou Qi, what's the matter with you?"

Immediately, Yuan Mu's eyes straightened.

Sheng Fengshi watched Yuan Mu from the corner of his eye, and saw that Yuan Mu quickly lowered his eyelids, and when he looked at Zou Qi, his eyes were no longer so abrupt.Sheng Fengshi admired her calmness and restraint very much, and at the same time thought it was a bit cute.

Zou Qi said: "Mr. Sheng, I'm here to sign the leave slip. I'm going to be a volunteer tomorrow morning, so I can't participate in the activities."

"Okay, come here." Sheng Fengshi walked behind the desk, sat down and signed, "Have you collected all the forms?"

"There are still a few people left, I will come to meet you tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay." Sheng Fengshi handed the leave slip to Zou Qi, "Go."

When passing by Yuan Mu, Zou Qi glanced curiously, Yuan Mu smiled at her, she smiled at Yuan Mu, then opened the door and went out.

Sheng Fengshi sat down, waited for Yuan Mu's eyes to shift to himself, and said, "You see, Zou Qi is a very cheerful girl."

Yuan Mu nodded with a smile, his eyes were very bright, his expression was a little lighter in comparison, but it made people feel very comfortable.

"According to the proof you provided, Zou Qi was adopted at the age of two, and it has been more than ten years now. According to my judgment, Zou Qi should not know about the adoption. It is not just a one-person decision to recognize relatives, but The academy can't take over the decisions of a family. However," Sheng Fengshi changed the subject and said in a mild tone, "I can tell you some basic things first."

Yuan Mu looked forward to it.

"Let me start with the background. Within the whole school, our law school is the school with the strongest faculty and the most fruitful teaching results. Our school is among the best in various school evaluations. Our school is also very prestigious nationwide. Zou Qi's admission to the law school is inseparable from her learning ability and learning environment. Zou Qi's father is a lawyer partner and has a good reputation in the industry; Zou Qi's mother is a A caring lady who loves public welfare activities.

"Zou Qi's personal development is very comprehensive, and she has excellent communication and organizational skills. She is now the monitor of the first class of the law major. From her character, you should be able to see that her living environment is tolerant and free, so when you formally contact her Before, you don’t have to worry about this aspect. Since you chose to seek help from the school instead of finding Zou Qi directly, then I think you and your father tend to take steps step by step. Please trust me and cooperate with me. The college will try its best help you if possible.”

Yuan Mu couldn't help being touched, stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Teacher Sheng, for taking your troubles."

Sheng Fengshi waved his hand and said, "No need to do this. Caring for students is what we should do. Today I will contact Zou Qi's parents to set a date for our meeting. Because Lawyer Zou is busy with work, we may not be able to arrange it for the next two days. Please forgive me. one time."

Yuan Mu quickly said, "It's okay, I'll make arrangements with you."

Sheng Fengshi nodded, and asked again: "Where do you live now? I just saw that your ID card address is in Yi'an City?"

"Yes, but I live nearby now, so it's very convenient to come here."

"Okay, I will contact you in time if there is any progress." Sheng Fengshi handed her a business card, "You call, I will save the number."

Yuan Mu did as he was told.

"That's nothing else, you can go back first. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time. My mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day."

"I see. Thank you, Teacher Sheng." Yuan Mu put away his business card and walked to the door. He didn't open the door immediately, as if hesitating about something.

Sheng Fengshi asked, "Is there any question?"

Yuan Mu turned to face Sheng Fengshi, shook his head, and bowed solemnly ninety degrees.

Sheng Fengshi was stunned for a moment, then bent down to her helplessly.

"Mr. Sheng, goodbye." Yuan Mu left without any worries.

After the door of the office was closed, the room was as quiet as before. Sheng Fengshi stood there with nothing in his mind. It seemed that there were still fragments of Yuan Mu's words in the room. Against the moist and fresh air that Yuan Mu brought in, people couldn't help but want to relax. .

But work is the most important thing in Sheng Fengshi's life.Putting aside the distraction for a while, Sheng Fengshi, who returned to his desk, immediately devoted himself to his work, his brain running at high speed.As for Yuan Mu, at most it left an impression in her mind.

A comforting little girl.That's all.

The cozy little girl is now on the road thinking about the workaholic behind the desk.

Teacher Sheng, beautiful.

Yuan Mu was very absorbed in her thoughts. In her 20 years of life experience so far, Teacher Sheng is the most beautiful person she has ever seen.It has nothing to do with objective indicators such as how big the eyes are, how straight the nose is, how white the skin is, etc. Beauty is a feeling—at least Yuan Mu thinks so.As for the matter of feelings, who can tell, so Yuan Mu thinks that Teacher Sheng is beautiful, it is a matter that is only related to herself, a little bit domineering and rude.

In addition, Yuan Mu carefully recalled that the inexplicable staring at the office door was caused by Teacher Sheng.Perhaps Teacher Sheng also thought she was pretty, and thinking about this guess, Yuan Mu was a little happy.

It takes about half an hour to get back to the residence by bus.

At present, Yuan Mu temporarily lives in the dormitory of the carpentry room. He is in charge of finding girls, and his deputy is helping the masters.This belongs to Uncle Yuan Mu's furniture company, which specializes in handmade custom furniture, with low quantity and high price.According to the uncle, the scale of this carpentry workshop is the smallest among all workshops, but the benefits have been considerable since its establishment, probably because there are too many rich people in Huazhou City.

Speaking of Huazhou City, it is a provincial capital city with prosperous economy and well-developed education.The Yi'an City that Sheng Fengshi mentioned was one of the county-level cities under the jurisdiction of Huazhou City.To be precise, Yuan Mu doesn't live in Yi'an City, she and her father Yuan Songlin live in Lianyishan Village in Lianyishan Town, which is a small village surrounded by mountains and rivers.

After resting for a while, Yuan Mu called his father to communicate the progress of the relationship.

No one answered the landline and hung up automatically, indicating that my father was working.Yuan Mu dialed his father's cell phone again, and this time he was connected quickly.

"Dad, are you busy?"

"Grinding, you say."

In terms of work attitude, Yuan Mu fully understands her father, because she is exactly the same as him, she likes to concentrate on the beginning and end, and doesn't like to be interrupted, so this time Yuan Mu only picked up the important part.

"I went to school to meet Yuanyuan's counselor teacher," Yuan Mu cut straight to the point, "Teacher Sheng is very nice and beautiful."

"Well, get along well with the teacher. If he is willing to help us, we must know how grateful he is."

Yuan Mu agreed, and continued, "I met Yuanyuan. She has a lively personality and a healthy body. Teacher Tiansheng arranged for me to meet Yuanyuan's parents in a few days."

"Okay, okay, that's good... It's good for people to see, don't worry, take your time." Yuan Songlin's voice was slightly higher than usual, and the word "good" was still trembling, Yuan Mu only listened to the voice You can just imagine his grinning mouth.

"I know, don't worry." A smile appeared on Yuan Mu's face, "Go ahead, I'll tell you the details later."

"Hey, I'm almost done, I'll call you later."

The phone returns to the recent calls interface, Sheng Fengshi's phone number is in the second place, Yuan Mu selects "New Contact", enters the three words "Sheng Fengshi" carefully, his fingers pause, deletes the last two words, and replaces it with "teacher", Add the office phone number according to the business card, and finally select "Save".
