I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 30

Chapter 30 – The broke down looks on the two of them looked almost identical. (3)

“Nothing.” Drawing blank, Lin Xi made up something casually. “I forgot to wash my hands earlier.”

Truth was, she had never made a formal dinner like this before and everything was new to her. She had accidentally burned herself. Not knowing where there was a first-aid kit in this house, she had no choice but to apply some toothpaste for the time being.

“… …” Gu Shao didn't move. Looking at the house that had obviously been cleaned and the table full of food in front of him, Gu Shao was finally aware of a problem: These chores, including housework and cooking, should not be Lin Xi's responsibilities.

“You don't need to do these,” said Gu Shao in a deep voice.

She was at the age to be taken care of.

“It's nothing. They are all very easy tasks. They can cancel out part of my expenses.”

“There's no need.” Gu Shao's tone became more solemn.

“But…” It didn't seem like there was anyone else other than her who would do that?

As though he had read Lin Xi's mind, Gu Shao said, “I'll arrange to have someone come over.”

Have someone come take care of this child.

Hearing the decisiveness in his tone, Lin Xi nodded quietly.

“Let's eat now,” said Gu Shao.

“Okay.” Lin Xi smiled again. She scooped out rise for Gu Shao and pushed it in front of him.

Under Lin Xi's eager look, Gu Shao placed a piece of vegetables into his mouth.

It tasted surprisingly normal.

It wasn't just the looks as he had expected.

After dinner, Lin Xi was going to clean up but she was forced by Gu Shao to return to her room.

Gu Shao cleaned up outside, placed a call to Xu Fei and had him look for a domestic help who could cook and clean.

Xu Fei was very efficient.

The aunty came the next morning and brought breakfast with her.

“Sir, Miss, time to get up. I bought these meat pancakes and soy milk at the place next to the bus stop. Have some while they are still warm.” As the aunty talked, she found her way into the kitchen, located the bowls and chopsticks after some looking around, and transferred the meat pancakes and soy milk into the bowl.

She then wiped off the little bit of soy milk that spilled onto the table before she made room for Gu Shao and Lin Xi.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Over on this side, without needing any arrangements, Aunty had already walked into the living room and started picking up with alacrity.

She wiped down the couch, then the coffee table.

She was using the same brown rag that she had just used to clean up the spilled soy milk.

When she walked past the room, she even wiped down the door handles with the same rag.

Looking at the very efficient Aunty, Lin Xi, “… …”

Then she looked over at Gu Shao.

The broke down looks on both of them looked almost identical.

Before they have even finished breakfast, Gu Shao had already paid the aunty for the day and had Xu Fei recalled her.

Lin Xi let out a sigh of relief when the aunty with questionable decision choices was gone.

Lin Xi logged back online to check after Gu Shao had taken off.

Lin Xi received emails from four different training facilities in the last few days. Their main focuses laid with mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English.

All of them offered fairly competitive offers. If Lin Xi entered the competition representing the training facility, she would be able to keep the prize money and the training facility would pay her two times the amount of the prize money as a reward. If it was a competition that did not offer prize money, the training facility would still award her between 6,000 to 18,000 yuan depending on where she ranked.

If she could collect prize money, she could pay 3,000 yuan to Gu Shao for her living expenses and save up the remaining 3,000 yuan.

Unfortunately, there weren't competitions of this type every month. Most of them were only hosted once a year. Not very many of them offered good payout.

Besides, Lin Xi looked at the list of competitions provided by the training facility, and the next mathematics competition coming up would be next month.

Lin Xi bit her fingers and felt regretful.

She exited out of her email inbox and logged onto an informational website.

There were a lot of information about new competitions on this site. In addition to the usual academic subjects, there were also information on innovative technology type competitions that were less academical and geared more toward working individuals.

Lin Xi scanned over each and every single one of them, not wanting to miss anything.

A red and bolded one was very difficult to overlook.

“The First Tianchuang Innovative Technology Competition?” Lin Xi looked at the name of the competition and the date behind it. She couldn't help but clicked into it.

This was a competition geared toward electronic technology research. It included environmental friendliness, medical, artificial intelligence, and future technology areas. Competitors could submit their projects on a new technology under one of the four areas and one winner would be chosen from each area for further development. Other teams would also receive their opportunities to market.

And each team would further receive a prize award of…

“A million yuan?!”
