Chapter 168 Junior Sister
Mr. Fu: Bad news! Terrible news!
No wonder he always felt annoyed by this doctor, it turned out that he was a flower-growing apprentice.
Why doesn’t that flower grower just focus on growing his own flowers? Why does he take in so many apprentices instead of doing his job?
As if he had guessed what Mr. Fu was complaining about in his heart, the doctor spoke casually.
"My master originally studied medicine, and his research direction is also in the medical field. He is a trendsetter in this field. It is my honor to be his apprentice."
These words were spoken with such sincerity and pride from the bottom of his heart that Mr. Fu couldn't complain, and he kept what he wanted to say in his heart.
My face turned a little red from holding it in. In the end, perhaps I felt that I was not generous enough, so I pretended not to care.
"Oh, that's pretty good."
Think about it from another perspective. The more skilled the flower grower is, the more he can indirectly highlight the prowess of his daughter Qing.
Thinking of this, he felt mentally balanced.
Whose granddaughter was accepted as an apprentice by an academician at the age of three?
It turned out to be his.
Mr. Fu, who was thinking this in his heart, didn't know that when his son first approached Professor Tan, he completely relied on bribery to trick this teacher into coming.
The doctor looked at his changing expression with a strange look.
Fu Sihuai's assistant just called him and said that the old man was secretly eating sweets at home and asked him to come and take a look.
Now he saw it, but the oranges that Mr. Fu ate were quite special. He didn't know the details, but since nothing happened, he wouldn't stay here for long.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed me, "No matter what, you should eat less and practice moderation."
Judging from the old man's expression, it was obvious that he didn't listen carefully.
The doctor went out with his suitcase, took out his car keys, started the car, and turned around to leave.
Instead of going back to the hospital, he went to another place.
Inside the research institute, after going through layers of inspection, he finally got inside.
The research institute was still the same institute, no different from the last time he came, but the security was obviously much tighter.
There was a guard outside the office door who checked his ID and opened the door to let him in.
Two people were chatting in the room.
The first thing he saw after entering was the brightly colored small oranges on the table.
This basket of oranges was exactly the same as the one he had just seen at Mr. Fu's place, and it was very exquisite.
"Teacher, Mr. Zhu." He retracted his gaze and called politely.
Tan Hongru smiled and waved at him, motioning him to come over.
When he got closer, he casually grabbed a few small oranges from the basket on the table and gave them to him. "Baiji is here. Your junior sister just had someone send this over. Try it."
This generosity is in stark contrast to Mr. Fu's stinginess.
Jun Baiji was stunned and felt a little overwhelmed holding so many oranges.
Just...give it to him?
He looked around carefully. He didn't smell any orange scent when he entered, and he didn't see any orange peels on the table or in the trash can.
So the teacher hasn't tasted it yet.
No wonder they are so generous.
In order to prevent him from taking the orange back after tasting it, Jun Baiji quietly put it into his pocket.
He was reluctant to eat it, so after putting it away, he just listened to the two of them chatting silently.
During this time, Tan Hongru glanced at him, wondering why he didn't eat oranges.
"These were all sent by your junior sister. That girl just loves to think about me. There are a lot of these little orange restaurants. Oh, and if you want to eat, just help yourself."
After taking the opportunity to show off Qingqing's concern for him, Tan Hongru once again turned his attention to chatting with Zhu Shenqu.
Jun Baiji touched one and held it in his hand to look at it carefully.
It's just like ordinary oranges, how come it tastes so good?
He came here today just to ask the teacher. He always felt that this orange, like the flowers cultivated by the teacher, could bring positive healing effects to the human body.
Tan Hongru talked for a long time and made himself a little thirsty.
He naturally picked up the small orange and made room for Zhu Shenqu, who was very considerate and took one.
He was still smiling as he peeled the oranges. "Look at this kid. There are so many places to buy small oranges, but she even asked someone to send them to her."
He was smiling brightly as he spoke, and he was obviously very happy in his heart, but he also had to be a little arrogant.
Zhu Shenqu rarely spoke and interjected a few extra words, his handsome face was calm and his tone was neither cold nor hot.
"It's a thoughtful gesture from the child, which is very nice."
Tan Hongru's smile deepened. He peeled one and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for a while and was about to say something when he suddenly froze.
At this moment, his brain felt refreshed, as if it had been washed with cool well water.
"No." He looked at the basket of small oranges on the table in shock, and spoke incoherently, "These oranges..."
Jun Baiji had just experienced this magical feeling with Mr. Fu, and now he could empathize with his teacher.
Similarly, he hid the orange in his hand and quietly reduced his presence.
I don't want to give back that big thing I just took.
Zhu Shenqu didn't know. He looked at Tan Hongru, whose expression was dull, and asked, "Professor Tan, what's wrong?"
Tan Hongru didn't say anything, but waved his hand with a strange expression, doubting his life.
He should have guessed it earlier. His apprentice's family was well-off and would not give him ordinary things.
But this thing is a little too unusual.
She also uses baskets to deliver units.
Thinking of his generosity just now, Tan Hongru's eyes became a little resentful.
I regret it. Is it too late to come back now?
Jun Baiji used his actions to tell him that it was not possible. He spread his hands, revealing his empty palms, with an innocent expression, "I have eaten it all, teacher."
Tan Hongru's face turned a little pale.
This kid, how come he eats so fast!
Zhu Shenqu, who was sitting opposite, looked at the small orange in his hand and realized that Professor Tan’s transformation started from eating this orange.
He peeled it off slowly, and in the middle of doing this, he could feel Professor Tan's strong gaze on his hands.
After peeling it clean, he put it in his mouth and ate it.
It was after eating it that he finally understood Professor Tan's feelings.
His emotions have always been very stable, and would only become agitated when encountering things related to Xiao Qingdai, but now there is one more thing.
Facing the other person's resentful look, he swallowed it with a calm expression.
After finishing the meal, he said, "Your apprentice is so good to you."
"That's right." Tan Hongru's attention was indeed diverted. He was very moved at the moment and talked endlessly about Qingqing's advantages.
The two people in the room listened to him quietly and patiently.
After he finished speaking, Jun Baiji explained his purpose of coming. "Teacher, do you feel that the energy contained in this orange is somewhat familiar?"
"It's perfect. The benefits and taste of the orange are fully reflected in them. Just like the flowers you grow, it's as if they have been purified."
Tan Hongru is not a stupid man. He can figure this out with just a little thought.
Looking at the small orange on the table, he felt as if an answer was about to emerge in his mind, and it was just a matter of breaking through the last barrier.
"I wonder how such small oranges are cultivated?"
