In order to avoid discussion, Professor Chen left the door open.
Xu Yizhang stood in front of the desk studying ink.
After making a pot of tea, Professor Chen walked to the table and said to her, "The gifts you and Han Shen gave are very similar in style."
Xu Yizhang smiled, "Teacher, why did you invite him?"
Professor Chen blew on the teacup and looked up at her, "Aren't you two from the same family?"
Xu Yizhang choked, "We have already broken up."
Professor Chen sighed, as if a little regretful, "Before, the students were spreading the rumors, but the teacher didn't believe it. Now I hear you say it yourself... Hey, aren't they all engaged? How did it get to this point?"
"A lot of things." Xu Yizhang couldn't tell his teacher exactly, but said indifferently: "Teacher, our personalities are not suitable, and it is a good thing to break up."
"He is still willing to come to the teacher's birthday, and he still cares about you." Professor Chen said.
Xu Yizhang said nothing.
Professor Chen asked, "You really don't like him?"
Xu Yizhang nodded, "Yes."
"truth?"
"truth."
So, Professor Chen just shook his head and stopped talking. After a while, Professor Chen put up a pair of glasses, walked to the table and sat down, "Yizhang, the teacher has something to tell you."
Xu Yizhang stopped grinding, "Teacher, tell me."
"Do you have time recently to take on some work?" Professor Chen said: "There is a real estate plan, and the teacher will take over, but the students I found can't handle this project. The project is too big, and they don't have much experience. Teacher Knowing that you are more capable, I want you to take a look at this project and see if you can help me to fix it and modify it?"
The implication is to let her take on private work.
Xu Yizhang stared at Professor Chen with clear eyes, "Is the proposal rejected?"
Professor Chen sighed: "Several times, Party A has been dissatisfied."
Xu Yizhang thought about it, his mentor is very well connected, if he helped him this time, he might get a lot of feedback.
Besides, even if there is no feedback, she still has a duty to do so, so she nodded and said, "Then let me have a look, teacher, please send me the project."
"Okay." Professor Chen patted the back of her hand, "Teacher knows you are capable."
Xu Yizhang smiled, "Thank you for being able to help."

Dinner is a birthday banquet.
The cuisine has already been ordered, just be seated on time.
At around 6:40, Meng Wanxing went to find Han Shen in his room and invited them to pick up Professor Chen on the 8th floor for a banquet.
Then I saw that Xu Yizhang was talking to Professor Chen in his room. During the past two days, the conversation lasted all afternoon. When Professor Chen saw Xu Yizhang, he didn’t even take a nap, so he took a laptop and talked to Xu Yizhang there. Holding a pen in his slender hand, Xu Yizhang listened attentively and occasionally said a few words.
Seeing this, Meng Wanxing felt a little uncomfortable. Professor Chen was her adoptive father, but he treated Xu Yizhang better than her.
But she could also see that Xu Yizhang had two talents, and he should be the foster father's favorite student, that's why the foster father valued her so much.
"Coincidentally, she's here too. Is she your roommate?" Meng Wanxing asked Han Shen beside her.
Han Shen put one hand in his trouser pocket, did not answer her, and looked at Xu Yizhang in the room motionlessly, quite obsessed.
She is really dazzling in her working state.
Confident, beautiful, and knowledgeable.
He had never seen her work before, this was the first time, and she was amazing at a glance.
Meng Wanxing waited for a long time, but did not hear his answer. When she looked up, she saw his ecstatic reaction.
Her hand holding the bag tightened subconsciously.
Maybe he hasn't let her go yet.
Although she betrayed her.
"Father." Meng Wanxing called out.
Professor Chen nodded at her and Han Shen, "Come in."
Xu Yizhang on the other side also turned his head, looked at Han Shen and Meng Wanxing, and nodded.
Han Shen also nodded.
Meng Wanxing said, "The banquet will begin soon."
"Really?" Professor Chen glanced at the time, "Oh, this discussion has only passed in one afternoon, and I have forgotten the time."
"Then go down to eat first, teacher, let's talk later." Xu Yizhang said, got up and started to pack his things.
Meng Wanxing stared at her to clean up, and did not leave for a long time.
She wanted to clean up, but she did it, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
After packing up their things, several people came out of the room.
Meng Wanxing subconsciously went to hold Professor Chen's arm, and then she stood in front.
Xu Yizhang and Han Shen naturally fell behind.
As soon as the elevator arrived, Professor Chen strode out. Meng Wanxing was wearing high heels and was struggling a bit, "Father, walk slowly, Han Shen and Xu Yizhang are still behind."
Professor Chen just smiled and walked faster, "Go faster, leave some space for them to talk."
"..." Meng Wanxing froze for a moment, only to realize that her adoptive father deliberately created space for him.
But the two people behind obviously had nothing to say, they walked in silence without making a sound.
The phone in the bag rang.
Xu Yizhang stopped and took out the mobile phone in his bag. It was Qin Zhen who called her.
Xu Yizhang connected, "Hello, Zhen Er."
Qin Zhenyi said angrily: "Zhang'er, let me tell you, when you go to the banquet, don't listen to what those people say. My God, are they sick? It's rumored that you are having an affair with my cousin , and said that you were dumped by him, that you are a scheming girl, and that you must come to the teacher's birthday banquet this time to chase Han Shen back."
Xu Yizhang rolled his eyes, saw that Han Shen hadn't left yet, and waved to him, saying you should go in first.
Who knew that he didn't leave, he was still standing there, as if waiting for her.
Xu Yizhang stopped caring about him, and said to Qin Zhen on the phone: "Let them do whatever they want."
Isn't it just that the grapes are sour because they can't eat grapes? She understands it very well.
Qin Zhen said: "Then Meng Wanxing, you should have seen it too? It's the girl who participated in the law and politics program with Han Shen before. Do you know that the two of them are recognized as CP?"
"I know." Xu Yizhang nodded, turned his back to Han Shen and said, "I've seen Weibo hot searches before."
"Yes yes yes, there was a hot search, just Song Lingling, who is now talking nonsense that you want to meddle in the relationship between the two of them and regain Han Shen?"
"Take back Han Shen?" Xu Yizhang sneered, "Hehe, I'm not interested in that."
Han Shen next to him listened: "..."
He didn't know what Qin Zhen said, but he heard what Xu Yizhang said clearly.
Qin Zhen said: "That's right, if you really want to snatch them back, with the baby in your belly, you can make them fall flat."
"..." Xu Yizhang lowered his voice, "Don't say anything, be careful that your words are heard by others."
"Okay, don't be as knowledgeable as them. The teacher is already here, so hurry up and come over too. The birthday banquet will start soon." Qin Zhen hung up the phone.
Xu Yizhang put the phone back into the bag.
Looking back, Han Shen looked at her deeply.
Xu Yizhang said calmly: "The birthday party will start soon."
"I know." Han Shen's eyes were fixed, "What did Qin Zhen say just now?"
"It's nothing, it's just gossip, nonsense."
Han Shen frowned deeply, and after about a minute, Han Shen said, "Professor Chen's birthday banquet was not invited by Meng Wanxing."
He subconsciously wanted to explain.
Xu Yizhang said, "No need to explain."
Han Shen was shocked, the corners of his lips tightened, as if he felt that it was meaningless, and his expression was full of bitterness.
Xu Yizhang bypassed him and left. She wanted to stride forward, but she stopped unconsciously. When she turned around, Han Shen was still standing there.
Her gaze fell into his eyes beyond the dim light, and she was taken aback by the huge despair and pain inside. She didn't have the courage to listen to what he had to say, and quickly walked into the banquet hall.
*
At the banquet, 4 tables were set up, and the seats were full.
Professor Chen sat at the main table with a smile on his face. Seeing Xu Yizhang coming, he greeted him to sit at the main table.
Meng Wanxing sat next to Professor Chen and didn't speak, obviously not welcoming Xu Yizhang.
But she didn't welcome her, and Xu Yizhang didn't care about her. He used to sit next to Professor Chen, "Teacher."
Han Shen came in after a while.
Meng Wanxing immediately got up and called him over.
Han Shen sat next to Meng Wanxing. During the whole banquet, he didn't say much. He drank one cup after another with a look of sadness in his eyes.
Xu Yizhang took a few glances at him while picking up vegetables.
She wanted to persuade him to drink less, but Han Shen sat opposite, a little far away.
Meng Wanxing said, "Han Shen, drink less, it will hurt your health."
Han Shen didn't speak, but picked up the wine glass and toasted Professor Chen, "Professor Chen, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, and a long life like Nanshan."
