The school was very efficient. The next day, Gu Shao received a call from the High School Affiliated to A University.
This time, the principal called him personally.
"Professor Gu, I hope I didn't disturb you." The principal sounded very polite.
Gu Shao motioned for the person in charge to stop reporting the progress of the research and development. He said to the principal, "No."
"That's good." After a pause, the principal said, "Lin Xi's test results came out yesterday. Her test results are very good."
It was more than good.
Looking at Lin Xi's test results in his hand, the principal couldn't help but feel excited.
— Chinese 96, Mathematics 100, English 98, Physics 100, Chemistry 100.
This kind of result would definitely pull up the school's average score.
He heard that the deduction of points for Chinese and English subjects was due to the fact that there was no essay during the test.
Gu Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard the principal talking about Lin Xi's results. However, he wasn't too surprised.
Then, the principal said, "With these results, I think it's not a problem for her to enter the top experimental class."
Originally, when he heard that this child was Professor Gu's relative's child, he wondered if he should give Professor Gu some face and arrange for her to be in a better class.
He didn't expect that there would be no such consideration at all. With Lin Xi's results, there was no problem for her to enter the best class.
"Next Monday, Lin Xi can come to school directly."
"Thank you, Principal Zhao," Gu Shao said.
"You're welcome, Professor Gu."
"There's another question." The principal said, "This child is coming to our High School Affiliated to A University of China. May I ask if the child's parents plan to transfer to our school temporarily or officially enroll?"
"What's the difference?" Although Gu Shao was a professor at A University, he actually didn't pay much attention to school matters.
"The main difference is the student status. If she's a temporary student, she'll study with the classes here. However, her student status file will still be in her previous school. For some important things like the final exam and the city-wide unified exam, she'll still have to go back to her previous school to take the exam.
"If you decide to study at our Affiliated High School for a long time, you'll need to go through the official admission procedures at our school, and then transfer your student status from your original school."
With such a good seedling, Principal Zhao certainly hoped that Lin Xi could directly transfer to their school.
Therefore, Principal Zhao talked about the advantages of A University Affiliated High School over the phone.
"I understand. Thank you, Principal Zhao," Gu Shao said and ended the call.
She remembered that Lin Xi had said that she did not want to continue studying at her previous school, so it was not a bad idea to transfer to another school.
However, in this way, a new problem had arisen: to apply for school transfer, one would need to bring along their household register.
— — Lin Xi's household registration was still with the Lin family.
…
When Chen Ziyang came in, he saw their professor sitting at his desk with his brows slightly furrowed. He seemed to be thinking about something. In front of him was a report from a previous research and development project.
"Professor, is there any problem with this project?" Chen Ziyang asked.
"No problem." Gu Shao came back to his senses and put the report aside.
"Do you know what kind of documents you need to prepare to register your household registration?" Gu Shao asked casually.
Chen Ziyang was stunned and immediately thought, "Is the professor planning to register Lin Xi's household registration?"
Previously, Chen Ziyang's cousin had transferred her household registration to his family in order to go to school in B City.
Chen Ziyang thought for a moment and said, "You need to issue a certificate of acceptance here, and then go to the place where the original household registration was to go through the formalities of transferring out. Then, bring it here to register your household registration again."
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyang reminded him again, "You should also need proof such as a paternity test."
Gu Shao glanced at Chen Ziyang and did not say anything.

In the evening, Gu Shao came home early, which was rare for him. This surprised and frightened Lin Xi. No, it was a pleasant surprise.
After dinner, Gu Shao called Lin Xi to him and asked the same question again, "Why did you leave your previous home and come here?"
Lin Xi's expression froze. Without thinking, she said, "It's because I didn't have a good life in my previous home, so I came here."
"Is there no other reason?" Gu Shao asked.
Lin Xi shook her head.
Gu Shao looked at Lin Xi with a slightly deeper gaze. After a few seconds of eye contact, he said in a deep voice, "Even if you are still underage, you should learn to be responsible for your own actions. You will bear the consequences of any choice you make now."
"Your current household registration is still with your biological mother. You can choose to return to the Lin family. Of course, out of obligation, I can still provide you with all the alimony you need until you become an adult."
"Similarly, you can stay with me until you become an adult. Out of convenience in all aspects, I will transfer your household registration over."
Gu Shao gave Lin Xi the choice.
His tone sounded emotionless.
Aunt Mei, who was not far away, heard Gu Shao's words and felt anxious. Although she did not know what was going on with Lin Xi's biological mother, she seemed to have her own family and did not treat Lin Xi very well.
Now that this child was here, was Sir still thinking of sending her back?
She could not bear to do so, let alone take care of her for two days.
If she really sent Lin Xi away, Old Master would be the first to jump to his feet.
Aunt Mei did not tell Gu Shao that the members of the Gu family were already choosing a new name for Miss Xiao Xi's household registration. However, due to disagreements, they had not decided on a name yet. In addition, Old Master Gu, who had never been a fan of superstitions, had specially hired a master to calculate the auspicious date for Lin Xi's name to be added to the family tree.

Unlike Aunt Mei, Lin Xi's eyes lit up when she heard Gu Shao say that he would transfer her household registration over.
Previously, she had indeed forgotten to consider the issue of her household registration. If she could transfer her household registration from the Lin family, wouldn't she be able to completely break away from the Lin family? She would no longer live with Song Kexin, have nothing to do with Lin Yize, and no longer be Lin Anxin's older sister. Then, the plot of the novel might not happen to her anymore.
"I want to be with Dad!" Lin Xi said without hesitation.
"Have you decided?"
"Yes, yes." Lin Xi nodded vigorously.
The smile on the young girl's face was too dazzling, and Gu Shao's expression unconsciously softened.
"I'll take you to the Lin family and transfer your household registration over."
"Okay —"
Lin Xi only said half of the word 'good' before he got stuck.
Wait a minute! She had to go to the Lin family?!
Lin Xi's expression changed when she thought about going to the Lin family to transfer her household registration.
She was against returning to the Lin family not only because of her fear of the novel's plot, but also because of another important reason: If Gu Shao went to the Lin family with her, wouldn't Gu Shao's identity as her biological father be exposed in advance?
If he found out that Gu Shao was the man who had caused his beloved woman to lose her virginity, would Lin Yize make a move on Gu Shao in advance?
Although in Lin Xi's perception, he always felt that Gu Shao was very powerful, Lin Yize was, after all, a man with the halo of a male lead.
"No." Lin Xi quickly shook her head.
"You don't want to transfer your household registration?" Gu Shao asked.
"That's not it."
Lin Xi didn't know how to explain the novel to Gu Shao. With a conflicted expression on her face, she thought for a long time and found a very lame excuse. "Dad, aren't you very busy? I'll go over and talk to my mom and the others about the transfer myself. There's no need to trouble you. "
"I can also ask Uncle Xu Fei or Granny Mei to go with me."
In short, Gu Shao couldn't go.
Gu Shao: "…" Even if he was very busy, he didn't need someone else to do something like registering for him.
Gu Shao didn't say anything. Lin Xi thought that he had tacitly agreed, so she smiled at Gu Shao. "Then it's settled!"
"Go to sleep."
"Okay." Lin Xi turned around and walked towards her room. Halfway there, she realized that she had forgotten something, so she turned around and said to Gu Shao, "Dad, goodnight."
— —
As he watched Lin Xi return to her room, Gu Shao's expression deepened.
Gu Shao dialed Wang Wu's number.
"Sir?"
"Was Lin Xi sent to her hometown in the countryside by the Lin family?"
"Yes." Wang Wu tried to recall. "But she didn't stay there for long."
"Go and find out what happened to Lin Xi there and what happened in the Lin family. I want more details than before." When he mentioned going to the Lin family, Gu Shao didn't miss the flash of fear and panic in Lin Xi's eyes.
Lin Xi shouldn't have had such strong emotions if it was just that she didn't have a good life in the Lin family.
Also, Gu Shao could feel that Lin Xi wasn't a child who would act rashly or be easily bullied. On the contrary, Lin Xi was very good at controlling her emotions. Therefore, if it was just that she didn't have a good life in the Lin family, Lin Xi shouldn't have come to find a father who was a complete stranger.
When Wang Wu heard Gu Shao's instructions, he immediately realized that the information they had was probably incomplete.
"I understand. I'll immediately arrange for someone to conduct an in-depth investigation," Wang Wu responded seriously.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shao called Xu Fei.
"What do I have to do tomorrow?" Gu Shao asked.
"Tomorrow?" Xu Fei flipped through the business records and replied, "There's an SSI project seminar tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, the team from WILLR will come to the training center to study. In addition, we received two invitations for activities."
Xu Fei: "That's about it."
Gu Shao: "Reschedule the seminar to next week. Arrange for someone else to receive the investigation team. Cancel the remaining two activities and free up some time for me tomorrow."
"The whole day?" Xu Fei was just about to ask if Gu Shao had any important arrangements.
Then, he heard Gu Shao say, "Also, contact the family of the chairman of the Lin Group. I'll visit them tomorrow."
"Yes, President." Xu Fei didn't have time to think about which Lin family it was before he agreed.
It wasn't until he hung up the phone that Xu Fei realized with a start: Lin Group, Lin family, aren't they Lin Xi's biological mother's family?!
