Chapter 761: Chapter 730 Before I was born, you were seeking help_1

He Tiantian, with a smile on her face all day, was finally going to meet Third Grandma Qi.

While He Tiantian was cooking, Qi Zhengmin came over to help and said, "Sister Tiantian, we might come and stay in Nan City often in the future. My brother is thinking about buying a house here, can you help us inquire about it?"

"Sure!" He Tiantian nodded. She knew that Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin would be dealing with a joint venture automotive company in Nan City, which meant they would be visiting Nan City frequently.

Having Qi Zhenghan stay at her home was indeed a bit inconvenient.

In fact, it wasn’t Qi Zhenghan’s idea to buy the house, it was Qi Zhengmin’s.

As a sister, Qi Zhengmin understood her brother’s thoughts; he liked He Tiantian. Over the years, even though he had girlfriends, the relationships didn’t last long before they ended. She had noticed that those women somewhat resembled Sister Tiantian, more or less.

Therefore, living in the same courtyard, seeing each other all the time, would only make her brother fall deeper, unable to extricate himself.

"Thank you, Sister Tiantian," Qi Zhengmin said with a smile. Sister Tiantian was still so kind-hearted and looked as beautiful as always.

If she were a man, she might also have fallen for someone as lovely as He Tiantian.

"By the way, Zhengmin, do you and your brother have any particular requirements?" He Tiantian asked, "That way, I can look for a house specifically for you, so you don’t end up with something you don’t like."

Qi Zhengmin thought for a moment and said, "Preferably a larger one, similar to your courtyard would be best. Oh, and we’ll have cooks and bodyguards, so it should be larger."

"Oh, okay," He Tiantian agreed, "nice environment, convenient transportation."

"Yeah, that’s it," Qi Zhengmin nodded, "Sister Tiantian, is your business doing well? Anyway, I know Brother Dajun and Sister Lili’s business is very good. They learned from you, so I guess your business must be doing well too."

"It’s pretty good," He Tiantian said with a smile, "just a small business, earning some pocket money."

"You’re being too modest," Qi Zhengmin said, "Sister Tiantian is very ambitious; if you do something, you do it to be the best. This year, being able to open a branch shows that your business is doing very well. Don’t worry, I won’t compete with you, so no need to be concerned."

"Haha." He Tiantian gave a wry smile, "You girl, you’re so grown up now, and still so outspoken. By the way, is the partnership with Nan City going smoothly for you guys?"

"It’s going very well, we’re going to negotiate in a few days," Qi Zhengmin said, "As long as the negotiation goes well, we can invest."

"Haha, then we can see each other often," He Tiantian said, "When your car factory is up and running, you could come to my shop for braised meat!"

"No problem," Qi Zhengmin said, "I can make that decision."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "When the weather gets a bit warmer, I’ll take you to the house by the lake, it has a beautiful scenery."

Qi Zhengmin liked the environment there and nodded, "Sure, grandma can’t stop thinking about that place’s scenery!"

"Well, in that case, let’s move there this weekend," He Tiantian said, the reunion with Third Grandma Qi and Grandpa Qi made He Tiantian forget about other things, including Qi Zhenghan.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang finished work and came over to greet Third Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi.

Thinking about their tiring train journey, after dinner, He Tiantian prepared some hot water for them to rest well.

In the morning, when He Tiantian got up, Qi Zhenghan had already returned from his run around the neighborhood.

Qi Zhenghan was dressed in sportswear, with some sweat on his forehead from the exercise, giving him a healthy glow.

"Good morning!" He Tiantian greeted.

"Good morning to you too," Qi Zhenghan smiled. "I’ll go freshen up first."

He Tiantian made rice porridge, two small dishes, and there were also salted duck eggs previously given by Wu Youliang’s mother at home. Thinking of Qi Zhengmin, who had finished his western meal, she brought a lot of bread, biscuits, made sandwiches, fried eggs, etc., from the shop yesterday.

After He Tiantian finished preparing, everyone got up one after another.

Checking the time, half an hour was left before work, so after breakfast, Tiantian said goodbye to everyone.

Seeing He Tiantian going out, Qi Zhenghan followed her outside for a walk.

After leaving the alley, He Tiantian smiled and said, "You can stroll around here on your own; I have to get to work."

"Okay!" Qi Zhenghan nodded, watching as He Tiantian rode away on her bicycle.

In fact, he wished he could legitimately ride a bicycle and take He Tiantian to school with him.

Along the way to work, He Tiantian couldn’t stop the image of Qi Zhenghan’s gaze from flashing in her mind.

Ah, after all these years, she still hadn’t given up hope!

It seemed buying a house needed to be done quickly; otherwise, living under the same roof just wasn’t convenient.

When she arrived at school, He Tiantian first made a round in the supervisory office and saw Zhang Mengmeng with red and slightly swollen eyes, as if she had been crying.

Seeing that class was about to start, He Tiantian didn’t think it appropriate to call her out and decided to ask her properly after school.

When Sun Hao saw He Tiantian appear in the classroom, he silently watched her.

She was still so beautiful, so gentle.

Ah, you were not born when I was young, and you were old when I was born.

Even if he didn’t mind that He Tiantian was older than him, the fact remained that she was already married—it had nothing to do with him anymore!

After school, Zhang Mengmeng came to hand in her homework, her mood slightly better than in the morning.

"Zhang Mengmeng, what happened?" He Tiantian asked. "I’m your temporary class head teacher now. If there’s a problem, you can tell me. I’ll do my best to help you."

"It’s... I..." Zhang Mengmeng fell silent, choking on her words. She wanted to speak but was afraid of causing trouble for the teacher.

"Go ahead," urged He Tiantian. "If you don’t speak up, you won’t be able to solve your problem by yourself, and it will affect your grades."

Zhang Mengmeng realized this made sense and nodded, "Teacher He, I want to find a part-time job in the evening, but I can’t find a suitable one. Formal organizations won’t hire me, and small businesses are too far, I can’t get back in time at night. Yesterday... last night on my way back, I almost... almost got harassed by some hooligans."

So that’s what happened!

He Tiantian responded seriously, "If it’s about this matter, you should have told me earlier. If you had told me sooner, perhaps you wouldn’t have ended up crying."

"Ah?" Zhang Mengmeng was startled. "Teacher He, can you really help me find a temp job?"

"Of course," said He Tiantian. There was work available at her shop, hiring a temp worker was simple, "Alright, you don’t have classes tomorrow morning. I’ll take you to the hospital for a physical check-up. If there are no issues, I can refer you to work in Sanfeng Bridge."

"Sanfeng Bridge?" Zhang Mengmeng was taken aback. "Is it that shop near our school that does good business?"

He Tiantian nodded, "Yes, that’s the one at Sanfeng Bridge."
