Chapter 953

Yan Aohan first dropped Zhu Yanli off at the Music Conservatory, then drove Zhu Yanyi to the affiliated middle school.

"Have you been avoiding me these past two days?" Yan Aohan’s voice was soft, but his dissatisfaction ran deep.

"That’s not my fault. I’m only fourteen. If I show even a hint of a connection with you, my dad will beat me to death. She’ll cut us off completely—two cuts, four pieces. Do you really want to be cut off from me?" Zhu Yanyi felt helpless. It was her first time acting in both her past and present lives, and doing it in front of her parents was exhausting.

Yan Aohan chuckled lightly. "You…" He didn’t press the matter further. "Next Friday, I’ll come to pick you up."

"If my parents are still around, don’t come. I have Brother Luo and the others. If they’ve gone back, then come." Zhu Yanyi said seriously.

Yan Aohan nodded. "Alright, I understand. Send me a message if anything happens at school."

"Okay." Zhu Yanyi agreed. "By the way, the Ma family might come. The number I left is our neighborhood’s phone. Keep an eye out. If they call, I’ll contact you after I’ve arranged things. If they really come, any treatment must happen during my rest time. I’m participating in a math competition next month, so I won’t be taking leave for now."

"Understood." Yan Aohan nodded seriously. "If it’s an international competition, winning can guarantee you admission."

Zhu Yanyi shrugged. "I know. Currently, it starts at the city level. The top three in the Beijing city competition go directly to the national round. That adds ten points to the college entrance exam. Winning the national competition adds twenty points. Winning the international one guarantees admission. I’ve got it all memorized."

"Good to know. Try to improve yourself early when you have time. Plans often can’t keep up with actual changes." Yan Aohan stopped the car across from the middle school. "I’ll drop you here. I won’t go in. Be careful." Understanding Zhu Yanyi’s concerns, he didn’t escort her into the school.

Zhu Yanyi nodded, got out of the car, held her fruit in one hand, and waved back at Yan Aohan. She mouthed, "See you next week," then left.

After Zhu Yanyi left, Yan Aohan returned. He still needed to take care of Zhu Shunyao and his wife.

"Has that girl, Zhu Yanyi, visited Old Chun these past few days?" the Big Boss asked Elder Yun.

Elder Yun nodded slightly. "Yes. She visited during her two days off. She said her body is fine, but she’s missing one-tenth of her brain. She can’t fix that yet, so Old Chun has to rest for now." she looked at the Big Boss, as if wanting to say something, but remained silent.

The Big Boss sighed. "Sometimes things happen beyond our prediction. How is the situation over there?"

"It’s manageable for now," Elder Yun said seriously. "However, our pharmaceutical factory’s formulas were originally provided by Old Yao. He was also the supervisor and technical consultant. Now that he’s missing, who do you think should take his place?"

The Big Boss looked at Elder Yun with a faint smile. "For the technical position, let Dong Baicao serve as acting head for a few months. For supervision, you handle it for a few months. We’ll discuss it further after next year’s International Medical Exchange Conference."
