Chapter 131: Director of the General Hospital Zhou Xutong
Xu Ying arrived in Qichuan City in the early morning, and only then did she send a message to Guang: I'm back, come to my house at ten o'clock this morning.
She bought a pancake with eggs, bacon, pork floss, pork tenderloin and lettuce next to the train station and ate it standing on the roadside. Afterwards, she straightened her clothes and ran in the small county town under the night sky. From the train station to her home, the whole journey was 7.6 kilometers, which took one minute. This was not her full speed, she could go faster, but if she went faster, there might be trouble.
After returning home, Xu Ying opened the door with her key without disturbing her mother. She simply tidied the room, set the alarm, and fell asleep on the bed with the bedroom door open.
Since her daughter was not at home, Wang Hongyu did not need to get up early to make breakfast, but she still got up earlier than Xu Yingze, after all, she went to bed earlier. She saw that her daughter's bedroom door was open, and felt strange: the bedroom door was usually closed regardless of whether there was anyone in it. What does it mean if the door is open?
Wang Hongyu quietly walked to the bedroom and took a closer look. Oh, my daughter is back. I thought she would be away for several days, but I didn't expect her to come back so soon. It's great. Since she's back, let's thaw the ribs I bought yesterday and stew them.
The ribs she bought were so big that she couldn't finish them in two days. It was also troublesome to cook, so she wanted to be lazy when she was alone at home. But her daughter came back, so she had to cook it no matter how troublesome it was. To put it another way, the ribs she bought couldn't be kept in the refrigerator forever.
At 9:55 in the morning, Mu Zhengguang arrived five minutes early and Wang Hongyu opened the door for him.
"Good morning, Auntie. Xu Ying sent me a message at night, asking me to come see her."
"She hasn't gotten up yet. Come in and sit and wait for her for a while. Is it something important?"
"It's not a big deal. I'll just wait for her for a while."
"She goes to bed late, and she might not wake up until noon. You can have lunch at my house at noon."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome."
At ten o'clock, the alarm clock rang. The sound coming from the bedroom was quite deafening.
Xu Ying was originally very sleepy, but as the alarm clock sounded, she could no longer fall asleep. Although she was not fully awake, after a few hours of rest, her tiredness had long disappeared, leaving only laziness. When she thought of her classmates visiting her today, the little laziness she had left also disappeared.
Xu Ying changed into pajamas before going to bed and was still wearing them after waking up. She thought: There were no outsiders at home, and the pajamas were enough to cover her body, so it would be okay to wear them for a while longer.
With her second-order asymptotic hearing, she could tell that there was someone else in the house, but this person was not within her defense range, so she still stuck to her original plan and walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas.
"Hi, you're here." Xu Ying opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of yogurt and handed it to him, "Don't drink it too fast."
"Ah."
"Come to my room. I have something to tell you."
"it is good."
Wang Hongyu watched the two of them enter the room and believed from the bottom of his heart that these two people should be together.
Xu Ying sat on the bed, and Mu Zhengguang sat on the chair in front of the desk.
"The academy is built underground, but the scenery there is almost the same as above ground. You will know when you go there. The tool issue has been resolved, and you don't have to be busy with meetings anymore. How did your assessment go?"
No need to be busy with meetings, this is good news. But these days Mu Zhengguang and those people are not only meeting to build tools, he also takes this opportunity to satisfy his curiosity. The tool issue has been resolved, he decided to hold one last meeting with the members of each group, give them more bonuses, and say goodbye to them. "I used the existence clearing to put the ancient into a deep sleep. As long as he doesn't wake up within three days, my assessment will pass."
"Three days later, he woke up. How to deal with it?"
"Gu Tingzhou meant to get rid of him, but I think it would be fine as long as he is under control. I cleared his life energy, and unless something unexpected happens, he won't wake up until four days later. On the third day, I will use the Existence Clearance again to let him continue to sleep."
Xu Ying gently reminded him: "It is not a good idea to control the Ancients for a long time. After you pass the test, we will take turns to clear them. I am also good at preventing people from waking up."
"Thanks. Did your test go well?"
"One more Medieval is missing."
That morning, at the Academy of Sciences, Zhao Yuxi and her friends had a very long breakfast.
The things her friends asked her to help with were basically the same: protecting the family, arranging jobs for the family, arranging schools for the family, finding partners for the family... They all sound like small things, but these things cannot be explained in just a sentence or two.
The more Zhao Yuxi listened, the more she felt overwhelmed: Strictly speaking, what you asked me to do was not in compliance with the regulations. Compared with what you did, I promoted Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang to the deans of the third-level branch, which was really too "conventional". In addition, you live in the Academy of Sciences, and as ancients, you are thinking about the affairs of "the masses". I am beginning to doubt the correctness of the strength formula and related factors.
In the afternoon, Zhao Yuxi went to the main hospital of the institute. Regarding the matter between Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang, she wanted to ask the dean in person for his opinion. If the dean "had this intention", then she would not have to follow the rules. Moreover, following the rules has a major disadvantage: Gu Tingzhou is a person who does not know how to adapt, and it is almost impossible for Mu Zhengguang to win him.
Today is the weekend and the huge campus is empty with not many people around, but the dean and vice dean are still working overtime.
Walking in the park, Zhao Yuxi slowed down to 1/3 the speed of sound. Two minutes later, she arrived at the artificial lake in the center of the park. There were three small buildings beside the lake, belonging to the dean Zhou Xutong, the spokesperson of Taihang Mountain King Cui Jian, and the spokesperson of Lancang River King Yuan Xinyu.
The dean's office is on the second floor. The spacious and simple room only has a square table and two benches. The wooden floor, walls, and ceiling continue the color changes of different shades and the rings of time, which is simple and generous, profound and elegant.
The office door was open, and Zhao Yuxi heard the dean say "Come in" before she even reached the door. She slowed down again and walked into the room quietly.
While Zhou Xutong was correcting the documents with a stone ink pen, he looked at the person sitting opposite him: "President Zhao, are you familiar with Gu Tingzhou?"
Zhao Yuxi thought she and Gu Tingzhou were not familiar with each other, so she immediately retorted without thinking: "Really?"
"He came to me this morning to get the seal. You came this afternoon. Was the seal also damaged?"
"No, my seal is fine. Why is his seal damaged?" Zhao Yuxi deliberately "alienated" Gu Tingzhou. She knew very well that Gu Tingzhou's seal was broken because of smashing the copper box, but she still asked this question with a blaming tone.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer, Dean Zhao."
Zhao Yuxi's first reaction was that Gu Tingzhou had "betrayed" her: "What did he say about me?"
Zhou Xutong said earnestly, "Gu Tingzhou didn't say anything about you. If you're not familiar with him, you can just say no."
Zhao Yuxi was speechless. She stared at the document that the dean was reviewing for a long time.
