C50 (2/2)

”May I know your surname?”

”My name is Xiao.”

The front desk picked up Qin Hongmu's call.

”Editor Qin, a mister surnamed Xiao wishes to see you.”

”Alright, let him come up.”

Thus, Xiao He was brought before the elevator as the front desk girl told him:

”You go up to the eleventh floor and find office number 112.”

Shaw nodded, thanked her, and went upstairs.

When he reached the eleventh floor, he scanned the room and quickly found the office number 112.

Strangely enough, everyone else had a job title in their office, but hers was only a number.

Seeing Qin Hongmu, Xiao He's horizons finally opened.

Such an aged name was actually used on such a beautiful, intelligent woman.

He guessed that she would not be more than thirty-five years old, which meant that the period of her teaching would be the prime of her life, at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six.

Xiao He politely extended his hand:

”Hello, Teacher Qin.”

”Hello.” Qin Hongmu walked out from the desk, her movements gentle and graceful. The decor of the office was also very tasteful.

It was clear that she was in the midst of a career advancement.

She shook his hand back, led him to the sofa, and offered him a cup of coffee.

Shaw rarely drank coffee, but this time he accepted it and took a big gulp, because he felt he needed to get excited about the situation.

Soon, Qin Hongmu also sat down.

”Mr. Xiao, you know that I'm not teaching anymore. May I ask what business you have with me this time?”

He was gentle, but his words were direct and forceful. So that was the case. Xiao He thought.

”Ah, I came here mainly to talk to you about my sister.”

”After graduating from high school, she went to a normal university, which is Y. However, I soon discovered that she wasn't happy enough. I don't know how to put it, but her attitude towards everything is a little depressing. As an elder brother, I often comfort her, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. ”

Qin Hongmu listened and nodded seriously.

Judging from the frequency and scope of her nodding, Xiao He's first reaction was that this person was not simple. She was trained in the field of counseling.

”Recently, she has also graduated from university for two to three years. However, her relationship experience is still blank. So I wanted to know what she thought of these things, because she had never mentioned them before.

So this time I asked her directly, even though she said a lot of reasons for being celibate. But I sensed that she was deliberately avoiding something.

After all, at this age, not to mention this age, even the youngest girls would know what they wanted and look forward to it more or less.

So I thought her situation was a little special, and I wondered if we had been careless about her in the past days because we didn't care enough about her. ”

”So you want to find me?” Qin Hongmu finally found the opportunity to interrupt.

”I first asked her classmates. They all said that Lulu changed after her third year of high school. I also think that before that, my sister would be a lot more optimistic and positive.”

”That's why I wanted to find you. After all, you're the teacher in charge of Lulu's third year. That's why I wanted to know about the situation during Lulu's third year.” Was her stress too great at the time? ”

”I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao. Can I ask which year your sister was taken by me? ”Actually, I've brought many students for the third year in a row.” She looked a little embarrassed. She looked like a class teacher who was in his forties or fifties and had a bad memory.
