Protagonist:

Lin Hao

The next day, sunlight spilled across the streets of the petroleum base, and Lin Hao arrived early at the Xiao Shudu Restaurant.

He entered the restaurant, found the finance personnel, calculated Yuan Shanqing's wages, then took an envelope, put the money inside, and prepared to deliver it to her.

Then, Lin Hao also spoke with the restaurant's head chef about purchasing seafood from Qiang Xiaowa's home.

In fact, Xiao Shudu's high-end seafood has always had a supply; this time Lin Hao was merely purchasing some common seafood from Qiang Xiaowa's home, the main emphasis being on freshness — after all, seafood just hauled from the sea and seafood bubbling with oxygen in the shop are fundamentally not the same taste.

After giving his instructions, Lin Hao took the envelope and walked toward Yuan Shanqing's home.

Walking along, Lin Hao ran into Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin on the road.

Without Li Si, the two girls also seemed a bit listless, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Lin Hao, the two hurried over. Cheng Miaomiao asked curiously, "Hao Ge, where are you going?"

Lin Hao briefly explained last night's events, then said he was going to deliver wages to Yuan Shanqing.

Cheng Miaomiao had never understood why Lin Hao wanted to help Yuan Shanqing; after all, she was a fraudster's daughter.

Cheng Miaomiao frowned and said, "Hao Ge, why are you so good to her? Her dad is a bad person."

Hu Qiumin chimed in from the side, "Yeah, Hao Ge, you're too kind-hearted."

Lin Hao smiled and didn't explain much, only saying that he and Yuan Shanqing were friends.

Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin had nothing else to do, so they followed Lin Hao together to Yuan Shanqing's home.

On the way, the two complained to Lin Hao that some so-called education expert had come to the oilfield base and was giving a class to their parents, promoting some study material nutrient solution.

Cheng Miaomiao pouted and said, "School is tiring enough, and now even the holiday isn't peaceful."

Hu Qiumin agreed, "Exactly, who knows what these adults are thinking, actually believing that stuff."

Lin Hao heard this and his heart stirred; this so-called education expert should be a swindler.

He secretly decided that after delivering the wages to Yuan Shanqing, he would go take a look at the place where that so-called expert was lecturing.

Arriving at Yuan Shanqing's home, the moment Yuan Shanqing saw Lin Hao, her face was full of surprise and astonishment.

She opened her mouth slightly, eyes wide, and said, "Lin Hao, how did you come? This is really too unexpected."

Lin Hao casually said he had come to deliver her wages; when she took the envelope from Lin Hao's hand and felt it was obviously heavier with money, she hurriedly waved her hands, anxious to refuse. "Lin Hao, this is too much money, I can't take it. Really, you take it back quickly."

Yuan Shanqing's face was full of anxiety, her eyes revealing unease.

Lin Hao, however, smiled, his tone firm: "The extra is a bonus for you; after all, everyone has seen your work attitude in the restaurant. You are serious and responsible, hardworking and willing to toil; this is what you deserve."

Lin Hao's eyes were full of sincerity and affirmation, as if telling Yuan Shanqing that she deserved this reward.

Yuan Shanqing still hesitated a bit; she bit her lip and said, "But... I really feel unworthy. I didn't do anything special at the restaurant."

Lin Hao insisted again: "No buts, take it. Everyone can see your effort; this is recognition of you."

Under Lin Hao's insistence, Yuan Shanqing finally accepted the wages; her eyes shimmered with moved tears, and she said softly, "Lin Hao, thank you."

The group was just talking when Cheng Yaya unexpectedly walked in carrying some food.

Cheng Miaomiao saw her younger sister and asked in surprise, "Yaya, how did you come? What are you doing here?"

Cheng Yaya smiled and said, "I came to see Yuan Shanqing's younger sister Xiao Zi."

Ever since the group got to know each other, Cheng Yaya has indeed been the person who treats the Yuan sisters best besides Lin Hao.

Many people don't understand Cheng Yaya's behavior, including her sister Cheng Miaomiao.

Cheng Miaomiao once asked Cheng Yaya, "Yaya, why are you so good to them? They have no special relationship with us, and they're still a fraudster's daughters."

Cheng Yaya just smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.

In fact, Cheng Yaya doing this has a reason.

When she was little, one evening Cheng Yaya went out alone to find her parents and accidentally fell into a large pit.

At that time Cheng Yaya was both scared and helpless, crying loudly. "Wuwu... who will come save me?"

Right when she was in despair, she was discovered by Yuan Shanqing.

When Yuan Shanqing tried to save her, she accidentally fell in too.

The two children in the pit, Cheng Yaya trembled with fright.

But Yuan Shanqing was very brave; she softly comforted Cheng Yaya: "Don't be afraid, someone will definitely come save us."

Yuan Shanqing gave Cheng Yaya a lot of comfort, making her not so afraid anymore.

In the end the two children stayed in the pit for several hours before being rescued by adults.

At that time Yuan Shanqing was relatively sensible; when Cheng Yaya was most afraid, she gave her a lot of comfort.

Recalling that experience, Cheng Yaya's heart was full of warmth.

She knew Yuan Shanqing was a kind person, so she also wanted to repay her in her own way. Cheng Yaya looked at Yuan Shanqing.

Lin Hao didn't pay too much attention to Cheng Yaya and Yuan Shanqing's interaction; his mind was preoccupied with that so-called expert's lecture.

He said to Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin, "Let's go, we'll go see what that expert is really up to."

So the three of them walked together toward the place where that so-called expert was lecturing.

Arriving at the place, Lin Hao didn't go in directly. He pondered for a moment, feeling this kind of matter was still more suitable to hand over to the police.

He went to a nearby convenience store, picked up the phone, and dialed the police station's number, explaining the situation concisely.

Afterward, they came to the front gate.

Inside, the expert was sitting on the stage, speaking passionately to the parents below about his brain-nourishing oral liquid and tutoring materials.

The expert's voice was full of bewitching allure: "Dear parents, think about how important your children's learning is! Our brain-nourishing oral liquid can improve children's memory, making their learning easier. And these tutoring materials are all written by professional education teams, extremely helpful for improving children's grades."

The parents below showed hesitation on their faces, while others seemed moved by the expert's words, all whispering and discussing among themselves.

Lin Hao did not immediately confront the expert head-on, but first observed for a while at the doorway. Hearing the expert boasting on stage, he became even more certain this was a fraud.
