Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

644  Chapter 644 Luo Tiancheng Arrives

Leaving Qingshan Village, Luo Qiao began to pack her bags. Her trips back to Capital City would decrease after this visit, only waiting for the next day to pick up her graduation photo and diploma at school, then take a trip to the farm to pay respects to Grandma Luo before heading back to Capital City.

Luo Xuyuan picked some watermelons from the backyard, and the two chatted while eating under the ginkgo tree. Luo Xuyuan asked, "Qiaoqiao, do you have any plans for this summer vacation?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "This is the last summer vacation before I start university, so I was thinking of going on a trip."

Luo Qiao thought about the good amount of money she still had in hand. Without a worthwhile project to invest in, she wasn't in a hurry to make any investments. Although she came from a future era, apart from design being her strong suit, the only other advantage she had was her special ability.

She only had knowledge and theory, without any practical experience. If she came across a good project, she would invest and enjoy the dividends. After all, that was what she had in mind. She didn't understand management, so living off dividends seemed fine.

Most of her current investment projects were managed by Xu Shifan and his sister Xu Yuqing. She truly wished for a travel guided by her heart's desire.

The next day, Luo Qiao had not been at school for long before being called to Teacher Ge's office. Upon entering, she saw a man sitting next to the desk and recognized him as Luo Tiancheng, the eldest uncle from the Luo Family of Ji City.

Intentionally ignoring Luo Tiancheng, Luo Qiao asked, "Teacher Ge, did you call me here for something?"

Teacher Ge said, "This comrade claims to be your uncle and says he's looking for you. He had come to find you before, but considering that the college entrance exam was just around the corner, I decided not to let him see you."

Teacher Ge was aware of Luo Qiao's family background because Luo Haotian had told him about Luo Qiao's situation before. So, he had intervened, fearing that it would affect her mood and consequently her performance in the college entrance exam.

Luo Tiancheng had not expected Luo Qiao to change so much. He stood up from his chair and said, "Luo Qiao, I'm your uncle. It's been a long time."

Luo Qiao replied, "Hello, did you need something from me?"

Looking around at the other teachers in the office, Luo Tiancheng spoke up, "I came here to ask for your help with something. Can we talk somewhere else?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing Luo Tiancheng's frank words, Luo Qiao thought about her time on the farm: although he had never helped her, he at least never bullied her, simply watching with a cold eye.

Out of respect for Grandma Luo, if the request wasn't too excessive, she could help, considering it as repaying Grandma Luo's kindness on behalf of her original self.

She said, "Let's talk outside then."

After bidding Teacher Ge farewell, Luo Qiao turned and walked out the door.

When they reached a secluded spot, Luo Qiao said, "Just speak directly if there's something you need. I have to leave soon."

Luo Tiancheng began, "The situation is like this: the steel mill is distributing housing, and my seniority is right on the cusp where I might or might not get an allocation. But there aren't many houses available, and you know the situation at home.

Your father sold his two rooms to me to save Luo Bin, so we've had more space since we returned to Ji City.

But your eldest male cousin, Luo Tao, got married the year before last and took up one room with his wife. Your aunt and I occupy another, leaving the last two rooms: one for Luo Lan and Luo Xi, and another shared by your second male cousin, Luo Jin, and cousin Luo Qiang.

Luo Jin has been seeing someone for almost a year now, and if the factory doesn't distribute housing, then we'll have to cram with Luo Qiang in one room to make space for Luo Jin's marriage. But now, with the news of housing distribution, I'm hoping to get an allocation. My situation is uncertain, and I know I shouldn't come to you, but people are greedy by nature. Luo Qiao, can you help your uncle?

It doesn't matter how big the house is, as long as we get one, our family can live more comfortably. Call me selfish if you will."

After hearing Luo Tiancheng's words, Luo Qiao thought that although he was being straightforward, the matter was probably not so simple. Even if it were easy, she wouldn't agree outright, let alone that she had no contacts in the steel mill.

So she said, "Uncle, I've heard you. I'll ask around for you. If there's nothing else, you can go back first, and there's no need to meet with me again. I'm leaving Ji City tomorrow.

I'll remember this matter and get back to you. If it turns out that you don't receive an allocation, then it's likely that you really don't meet the conditions, and there's no opportunity to do anything about it."
