Chapter 61: Dad!

  Mo Shaokun is on fire, really on fire.

  Not just in Andong, but also outside of school, many people are talking about him.

  Of course, he was completely basking in the glory of Deputy Minister Tang. When Tang Weiguo attended the welcoming party that day, there were many reporters following him. When Tang Weiguo stood up excitedly to applaud for his son, those reporters took down this scene one after another.

  With Choi Seung-ri's tacit consent, the photos were soon published in newspapers. The next day, under Choi Seung-ri's hint, the JoongAng Ilbo news broadcast even aired a video of Mo Shaokun and Yin Fei's performance!

  It's been a full four minutes and more, something that has never happened in the history of Provincial News Broadcast.

  In the eyes of many people, this is simply nonsense. The news broadcast is such a serious program, how can they put up with these messy things? Even if it's to show Deputy Minister Tang leading the applause for the students' performance, just one shot would be enough, there's no need to put the whole segment on.

  Ke Qiu's victory, however, didn't care about these things. To say that he was indeed clever, his actions not only showed goodwill to the old Tang family but also took the opportunity to strike at his own political enemies. I suppose those people will jump up and use this as an excuse to attack him? Hehe, unfortunately, they don't know that the one on TV is Old Master Tang's precious grandson. You have the ability, come on! Without me lifting a hand, the old Tang family will crush you!

  Thus, Mo Shao-kun became famous out of nowhere.

  "He's so handsome."

  "Uh-huh, not only is he handsome but the song also sounds great. My older cousin is from Anding and I heard him say that Mo Shao Kun wrote that song himself."

  "Is his name Mo Shaokun?"

  "Really? You don't know? How out of touch are you?"

  “……”

  Mo Shaokun became the dream idol of countless girls who were infatuated with him, and Yin Fei also became a goddess in the hearts of many boys.

  "I want to take the entrance exam for Andover!"

  "Huh? Aren't you supposed to be taking the physical education college exam?"

  "Whatever, I've fallen in love with that girl who plays the piano."

  "Take a break, you're just in second year of junior high school, by the time you get into An's university, they'll have already graduated."

  “……”

  Apart from Mo Shaocong and Yin Fei, Tang Weiguo was also pushed to the forefront.

  The deputy minister actually stood up and applauded for the students' performance, and Tang Weiguo became a good official loved by the students! Even many people gave him a nickname called "People's Minister"!

  Looking at the content in the newspaper, Tang Weiguo couldn't help but smile wryly, never expecting that he would still be benefiting from his son's fame.

  "Minister, it's time for us to head to the airport." The secretary knocked and walked in.

  Tang Weiguo raised his wrist to look at the time and nodded: "Mm, I know. Let's set off in twenty minutes."

  "Alright." The secretary gently closed the door and walked out.

  Tang Weiguo got up and walked to the window, looking out at the endless stream of people below. He had been staying in the reception house of Ande for several days, and although it was just a school-run hostel, the conditions were actually quite good.

  Before long, Tang Weiguo's eyes lit up and a faint smile appeared on his face as he saw Mo Shaokun walking into the reception room with a large package.

  After about a few minutes, there was a knock at the door.

  Tang Weiguo stepped forward quickly and opened the door by himself. The father and son looked at each other, with some inexplicable flavor in their eyes.

  "Come in and sit down." Tang Weiguo made room for him.

  Mo Shaokun nodded and walked in.

  He put things on the table and said: "These are all specialties of Anping, there's nothing good in this place. Take them back to Grandpa and taste them, they're not bad."

  "Hmm." Tang Weiguo nodded, feeling a bit relieved in his heart. Although Mo Shaokun had not yet called him "Dad", he knew that his son also had him in his heart, it was just that he couldn't adapt for the time being.

  The father and son were both silent, they didn't have much to say to each other. Mo Shaokun didn't know what to say, while Tang Weiguo had too many things he wanted to say, but was afraid of upsetting Mo Shaokun.

  After a long time, Tang Weiguo let out a light sigh and said: "There are too many things to do in the department, otherwise I really wanted to stay here for a few more days."

  "Work is urgent."

  "Take good care of yourself here, your aunt has complained to me many times that you don't even go to her place. Go visit your aunt when you have nothing to do and let her cook some delicious food for you to improve your diet, after all, we are family and shouldn't be distant."

  "I actually wanted to go, but I really didn't have the time." Mo Shaokun sighed, remembering how he had no time when he first entered university due to military training every day. Just as the training ended, the supermarket expanded and he was busy again. But it seemed like he should also visit his aunt. Qin Jing was now in Beijing, and his uncle was always busy, so his aunt must be quite bored at home alone.

  "When you have time, go take a look." Tang Weiguo nodded and said with a warm smile on his face: "It's getting cold, you need to pay attention to your body, add clothes when necessary, if you don't feel well, go to the hospital, don't drag it out."

  "Uh, don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. After all these years, haven't I always been fine?"

  The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Tang Weiguo's face stiffened slightly and his expression was somewhat dull.

  Mo Shaokun silently scolded himself for being unable to speak properly. Ever since he returned to the Tang family, Tang Weiguo had been feeling guilty, although he rarely spoke, Mo Shaokun could sense it.

  He hastily said, "Don't think too much about it, I didn't mean anything else, really. And my past wasn't as bad as you imagined, at least I had enough to eat and wear, no different from others."

  Tang Weiguo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, when a knock at the door came from outside. The secretary poked in his head and said, "Minister, it's time, if you don't leave now, you'll probably miss your flight."

  "Uh-huh, got it." Tang Weiguo slightly furrowed his brow.

  The secretary's heart skipped a beat and he hastily retreated, not wanting to disturb the family's warmth, but who made him a working secretary? What a pity.

  Tang Weiguo stood up, opened the suitcase, took out a bundle of banknotes and stuffed them into Mo Shaokun's hand, saying: "You take this, if you need anything, go buy it yourself. Don't be stingy with yourself. If it's not enough, call me anytime, got it?"

  "No, I have money, really." Mo Shaokun hastily refused, he didn't lack the money at all, it's just that Tang Weiguo didn't know.

  Qin Xiquan didn't dare to tell the Tang family about Mo Shaokun's business and stock trading, if Old Master found out, he would definitely say that she had corrupted her younger brother again, why bother looking for trouble?

  "Take it! I'm not by your side and can't take care of you, that's all I can do, don't refuse me."

  Mo Shaokun lightly bit his lip, and finally put the money away. He had long stopped blaming Tang Weiguo, countless times he wanted to call out "Dad", but he didn't know why he couldn't say it out loud.

  "Alright, I'm leaving now. Come back and visit during the holidays, your grandfather misses you."

  "Uh-huh, take care of yourself and grandpa, I'll go back to see you guys as soon as it's a holiday."

  Tang Weiguo smiled, picked up his luggage and patted Mo Shaokun's shoulder, saying in a low voice: "Son, you did great at the welcoming party, I'm proud of you!"

  When he heard this warm and affectionate sentence, Mo Shaokun seemed to see the figure who stood up for him at the welcoming party again. At that moment, he was not a high-ranking deputy minister, but just like countless ordinary fathers.

  As he watched the white-haired Tang Weiguo pick up his luggage and turn to leave, Mo Shaokun's expression changed constantly. At the moment when that tall but slightly awkward figure opened the door, he suddenly clenched his fists and shouted: "Dad!"

  Tang Weiguo's body trembled slightly, and the suitcase in his hand fell to the ground.

  He slowly turned around with red eyes staring at Mo Shaokun and said: "What did you call me?"

  "Dad!" Mo Shaokun smiled, but his eyes were filled with tears...
