Shen Zhao actually had no interest in recess. She herself didn't like sports very much, but she could accept short-term exercise to strengthen her body, so she didn't refuse when Xu Ke invited her to play badminton.
The playground of Deyan Middle School is very large. In addition to the football field, there are also several basketball courts and badminton courts. The badminton court is next to the basketball court.
When Shen Zhao took the racket and followed Xu Ke and Ma Shuyi to the badminton court, when they passed the basketball court, the sound waves there became louder and louder.
Even Shen Zhao, who was calm and composed, couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
What he received was a roll of his eyes from Ma Shuyi, "You don't know this? I told you to study hard. Look," Ma Shuyi pointed in a direction, "over there, the school hunk is playing basketball."
"Who is the school hunk?" Shen Zhao asked doubtfully.
This question made Ma Shuyi even more uncomfortable. He glanced at Shen Zhao suspiciously, which probably meant "You are just sick in the brain." "Of course it's Lu Siming! He is handsome, and this is recognized by the whole school! Plus, with the Lu Group behind him, those girls shouldn't go too crazy, okay?"
Shen Zhao looked past the layers of girls towards the direction of the basketball court. At this time, Lu Siming was dribbling the ball, quickly passing several goalkeepers who wanted to stop him. His movements were clean and neat, and he scored two points with a layup. He jumped from the air, high-fived his teammates, and quickly returned to defense. His eyes were fixed on the enemy with sharp eyes, because of the sports that added some youthful vitality and sunshine, showing the recklessness of youth. In addition, his grown-up face with sharp edges and corners and the wet team uniform all exuded the unique hormonal scent of adolescent boys.
Shen Zhao retracted her gaze. Lu Siming was indeed worthy of the title of school idol, at least at this time. Thinking of this, other images emerged in her mind. That man with a pale face, red lips and white teeth, who was seductive in every way. If Lu Siming was compared with that man, he was still far behind.
Seeing Shen Zhao in a daze, Ma Shuyi showed a look of contempt, thinking that she had not been back for such a long time and that she was no more than this, "Why, are you in a daze looking at the school hunk?"
Shen Zhao's hostility towards Ma Shuyi was inexplicable, but she was indeed stunned by someone, but that person was not Lu Siming.
Xu Ke pulled Ma Shuyi, who had a bad temper, and said, "Stop talking. Have you ever been to the school history museum? Although Lu Siming is very handsome, there is a treasure inside that is even more handsome. It's just that it's not for the school hunk, but for some other contribution award."
Shen Zhao knew about the school history museum. After all, he didn't know what award was given there back then, and Sheng Baiyi's photo was also in there. He hadn't been in there for many years, so Shen Zhao didn't know what the school history museum was like now.
She became more interested. "Xu Ke, can we go into the school history museum now? It's so boring during the break."
Hearing Shen Zhao's words, Xu Ke wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, his face fell, "Shen Zhao, it's not that I don't want to take you to see it, but the school history museum is only open on the day when the new students enter the school. After that time, it will be closed. If you want to see it, you have to wait until next semester."
Of course, Shen Zhao didn't have to go. When she heard that she couldn't go, she felt relieved and said, "Then let's go play badminton."
Xu Ke happily pulled Shen Zhao towards the badminton court. Ma Shuyi followed behind them. Her eyes casually wandered around the basketball court and she inadvertently saw Lu Siming's number one fan. She quickly turned her head away and quickened her pace.
Xu Ke had already dominated the field in front and was adjusting her condition in her own half, while Ma Shuyi walked straight in front of Shen Zhao. She was tall and looked down at Shen Zhao.
She curled her lips, seeming to be full of resentment, "You'd better be careful and don't let Xu Yaoyao target you, otherwise Xu Ke will be in trouble again."
Shen Zhao's mind was clear. The original body must have had a feud with this girl named Xu Yaoyao. Why did Xu Ke have bad luck? It was probably because the original body offended someone and didn't return to school. Most of the anger fell on Xu Ke. "Where is she?"
Of course Shen Zhao didn't recognize Xu Yaoyao, so Ma Shuyi had to give her some advice.
"That one, the cheerleader standing at the front of the basketball court."
Shen Zhao followed Ma Shuyi's line of sight and saw that she was indeed a rare beauty. She stood out among the many country girls because she knew how to dress up. Moreover, she had good facial features. In addition, she was wearing a cheerleading uniform, which revealed her beautiful figure. She was very conspicuous in such an arena.
She looked at Ma Shuyi suspiciously, "She is like that, how did I offend her?"
Ma Shuyi was furious after hearing this. She looked at Shen Zhao's clear and innocent eyes, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. She didn't even look at her own provocative appearance. "You are tanned now. You offended her before when you were not tanned."
"In terms of looks, she knows how to dress up, while I am just plain-looking all day. In terms of figure, she wears tight clothes, while I wear loose school uniforms. In terms of talent, I am at the bottom of the class. How could I possibly recruit her?"
Ma Shuyi also felt that Shen Zhao's explanation made sense, but she was confused by Shen Zhao's explanation. "Apart from these, you forgot the key point! Women's jealousy is endless. She likes Lu Siming!"
"What does that have to do with me?" Shen Zhao glanced at Ma Shuyi uninhibitedly.
"You still say it's none of your business? Some time ago, there was a rumor that Lu Siming liked you. You were not in school at the time, and the whole school was shocked, okay?"
"How is that possible? Unless Lu Siming is blind."
Ma Shuyi approved of Shen Zhao's self-evaluation and had no problem with her self-deprecation. "You are right. Everyone thinks Lu Siming is blind, but Xu Yaoyao doesn't think so. She didn't blame Lu Siming, but resented you. You are often not in school, so it is difficult for her to target you, but it is much easier for her to target Xu Ke."
"I understand. You said so much just to prevent me from getting Xu Ke involved, right?"
"You're smart this time."
"So are you still going to play badminton?"
Ma Shuyi glanced at Xu Ke who was already ready in the distance, "I'll play with her."
After saying that, she took the badminton racket from Shen Zhao's hand with one hand.
"Row."
Shen Zhao walked towards Xu Ke and said, "Xu Ke, I don't want to play badminton anymore. I want to go to the store and take a rest."
"Shen Zhao, are you feeling unwell? You've just come downstairs for a short time and you want to rest?" Xu Ke asked with concern.
"It's okay, you guys play, I just want to go eat."
Shen Zhao shook the phone in her trouser pocket. There was quite a bit of pocket money in it. It would be a waste if she didn't use it. Anyway, she could pay it back immediately. She didn't have any psychological burden to use it now.
When they arrived at the canteen, Shen Zhao picked out snacks fearlessly. In addition to her own favorites, she also bought a lot for Xu Ke and Ma Shuyi. When checking out, the boss was stunned when he saw the pile of snacks, "Little boy, do you really want so many?"
Shen Zhao had already opened a lollipop and started eating it, mumbling, "Damn it, Rui, it's all gone."
The boss silently packed the bags for her in the largest plastic bag and placed the big bag on the cash register. "Little girl, the total is two hundred and thirty-five yuan."
Shen Zhao didn't care about this number at all. Sheng Baiyi's single consumption had never been less than four figures. For her, this little bit was simply "thrifty and frugal".
She took out her mobile phone and showed the QR code. This QR code seemed to be bound to the bank card of the sponsor. She didn't know the upper limit of the credit limit for the time being, but judging from the sponsor's attitude, there should be no upper limit, although this was just her preliminary speculation.
The boss scanned the QR code and with a beep, the payment was successful.

At this moment, Mu Yanchen was discussing the future investment direction of the group with Lin Han in the study room of the manor, when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Mu Yanchen could remain calm about many things, but the news on the screen at this moment made him raise his eyebrows unexpectedly.
Lin Han stood in front of the desk, seeing that his boss had a strange expression on his face. As the boss's right-hand man, he had to share his worries. He took the initiative to lean over and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"
Mu Yanchen still didn't show anything on the surface, but the look he gave Lin Han made Lin Han feel inexplicably cold. He put away his curiosity and asked tremblingly, "Boss, do you have any instructions?"
Mu Yanchen was not shy about it. He put his phone on the table for Lin Han to see. On the screen was Shen Zhao's spending record in the convenience store.
Lin Han had a little bit of cold sweat on his forehead, "So?"
Mu Yanchen turned his chair and leaned sideways to the edge of the desk. Lin Han could only see one side of his face and his perfect jawline. Just as Lin Han was intoxicated by Mu Yanchen's gorgeous appearance, a cold voice rang out, "How did you check my previous instructions?"
The boss told her a lot of things, but combined with the content on the phone, it was not difficult for Lin Han to guess that it was about Shen Zhao. "Shen Zhao was normal before, but something was wrong when she went to the swimming pool that day. The surveillance showed that she went to the swimming pool by herself, but why she went there was unknown. Before that, she only met a few students of Deyan, but there was nothing unusual besides that."
Mu Yanchen tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and closed his eyes. "What do you think can cause a person's temperament to change so drastically? It was only the second day, and she dared to spend the money on my secondary card."
Lin Han's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Mu Yanchen suspiciously. Why did the boss hold on to this point? Shen Zhao was Shen Zhao. Even if she really started using the boss's money, it was promised during the previous funding. Why did the boss mind so much when she only spent more than 200 yuan? But the boss didn't even blink an eye when he spent money on Sheng Baiyi...
Lin Han wanted to label her boss as stingy, but when she thought about the money she spent on Sheng Baiyi, how could he be called stingy?
"Keep investigating Shen Zhao's case. Is there any news about Sheng Baiyi recently?"
When talking about Sheng Baiyi, Mu Yanchen's tone became much gentler, but perhaps thinking of that person's blood surging, Mu Yanchen suddenly coughed. Lin Han became worried and was about to do something when he was stopped by Mu Yanchen. He took a deep breath to suppress the itch in his throat, then took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and gently pressed it on the corner of his mouth. The red dots were like red plums quietly blooming on the handkerchief.
Mu Yanchen didn't take it seriously, his face turned pale, as if he was used to it. He waved his hand and let Lin Han continue.
Lin Han often finds it difficult to adapt to her boss's pace. "Recently, Xinrui Pharmaceuticals is developing a new drug. It is said that only a few people know about it. Sheng Baiyi seemed to have taken the most important information and left yesterday. We haven't been able to contact him since."
That new drug was a major investment of their group. After all, the drug was related to the boss's condition. But now Sheng Baiyi suddenly lost contact, and Lin Han had to suspect something fishy was going on.
Mu Yanchen lay on the chair bonelessly, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes again. There was a faint blue shadow under his eyes, which was particularly prominent on his pale and transparent skin. He seemed to see Lin Han's concerns and said lightly: "Sheng Baiyi, you and I know her well, she is not that kind of person."
"But people will change eventually. She was never on our side. You should be on guard, right? Besides, she doesn't even know that you are the one investing behind the scenes. She has been with Xiao Yi for a long time. What are you waiting for?"
Mu Yanchen clenched his fists, tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, squinted at Lin Han, "If you say anything bad about her again, you don't have to come back tomorrow."
Lin Han was extremely angry. Every time he mentioned Sheng Baiyi, Mu Yanchen's brain seemed to be stuck. He couldn't tell right from wrong. After all, he knew him first. Even if Sheng Baiyi did him a favor later, he couldn't treat him like this, right? But Lin Han couldn't afford to gamble. He always lost.
"Let's put Shen Zhao's case aside for now and check Sheng Baiyi first. There's no way she could escape without telling anyone. We need to be quick."
After Mu Yanchen gave the instructions, he looked at the neatly-kept manor outside the window. His eyes darkened and he gripped his handkerchief tighter. A bad premonition lingered in his heart and would not go away for a long time.

Shen Zhao carried a large bag of snacks to the only few tables in the playground. She sat on a chair and slowly spread out the snacks until they covered the entire table and attracted the attention of other students. Then she took out the cell phone from her pocket and called Xu Ke.
"Hey, are you still playing badminton?"
"correct."
"Stop fighting, take a break. I'm at the wooden table on the playground. Come over here quickly. Some of the food is cold and won't last long."
"Hey?"
Xu Ke quickly pulled the reluctant Ma Shuyi over, and was surprised when he saw Shen Zhao's table full of snacks.
Shen Zhao stood up and asked them to sit down, "Hurry, some things are getting hot."
Xu Ke sat down naturally. Ma Shuyi glanced at Shen Zhao unkindly, then sat down as well.
Although Xu Ke was usually quiet, he was still happy when he saw so many snacks. "Shen Zhao, are you so rich? Are you treating us?"
Shen Zhao rolled his eyes a little, "Do you think I can eat that much with my appetite? Of course I'll treat you guys."
When the three were enjoying their meal, a group of people gathered around. Shen Zhao naturally didn't recognize anyone, but thanks to Ma Shuyi, he remembered the one leading them, Xu Yaoyao.
