Chapter 71: A little guilty

Gu Xixing actually didn't mean to make things difficult for them, he was just doing his job.

Because the master just said that this woman is coming here as a transfer student and wants a degree.

It can't be too simple and vague. The future career direction of these graduates from traditional Chinese medicine universities is likely to be doctors.

This must be done with caution, so even if you are acquaintances, you should be more strict.

He even carefully observed Tu Ran's reaction and micro-expressions after he said these words.

She thought Tu Ran would be annoyed, or complain, or even unhappy.

But she didn't. She just nodded quietly and continued to read, "Forsythia, clears away heat and detoxifies, reduces swelling and resolves lumps."

"Baiji, astringent, hemostatic, reduces swelling, and promotes tissue regeneration."

"Liangjiang warms the stomach and dispels cold, helps digestion and relieves pain."

"Perilla frutescens, its aromatic properties dispel dampness, invigorate the spleen and stimulate appetite."

"Magnolia bark, dries dampness and resolves phlegm, lowers qi and reduces swelling."

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of Principal Wu and Gu Xixing.

Tu Ran read through the sixty-plus Chinese medicinal herbs in the book in one breath.

Some of these are medicinal herbs that are not common in the market and are not commonly used in hospitals. It is rare that she knows them all.

Principal Wu was very satisfied and nodded in approval frequently.

Gu Xixing was not surprised. He always felt that this girl was not an ordinary person...

This little surprise shouldn't really be considered a surprise.

It's just a pity, why would such a wonderful woman be adopted as a daughter by the Lin family, a family so snobbish and flattering that it looks down on the weak?

How could she become the wife of that devil of the Xie family?

Thinking of this, he actually felt a little regretful, although he couldn't explain why.

"Very good." Principal Wu praised.

"I followed my grandfather to collect herbs when I was a child, so these are not difficult for me."

"Well, I heard you say last time that your grandfather also comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine." Principal Wu became more and more satisfied as he looked at him.

"Do you want to be a doctor in the future?"

Gu Xixing suddenly asked this question.

"Huh?" Tu Ran was slightly stunned.

"Or, you come to school just to kill time."

"That's not the case. You never stop learning. I came here with the mentality of learning everything. Besides, I used to live with my grandfather in the mountains. Although I knew about medicinal herbs, I didn't have many opportunities to conduct clinical trials."

“If I am lucky enough to become a doctor in the future, I still hope to use my medical skills to help those in need.”

This is true, her grandfather used to tell her that often.

It would be even better if the Tu family's medical skills could be spread in the future to save more people.

It's a pity that he is old and can't get out of the mountains.

At that time, Tu Ran was thinking that there might be a chance to realize it one day in the future.

Unexpectedly, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, grandpa has grown old and is gone.

She has grown up and is ready to go out into the world.

Gu Xixing smiled and said, "Okay, then why don't you come to my company after you graduate."

"Your company?" Tu Ran was stunned again.

Principal Wu smiled and said, "This disciple of mine is amazing! His family has been engaged in biopharmaceuticals for three generations. Many of the powerful Chinese patent medicines on the market come from them."

Tu Ran was a little surprised. Although she had seen this man many times and knew his name.

But no one expected that he came from a medical family.

"I guess you didn't really look at the business card I gave you."

Gu Xixing directly exposed Tu Ran's thoughts, and she suddenly felt embarrassed and blushed.

At first, I didn’t even look at it and just threw the business card into my bag.

I did take a look at it later, but not carefully.

I only know that his name is Gu Xixing, but I haven't looked up his specific position or company.

So she was really embarrassed that her thoughts were exposed.

However, seeing the little girl's clear eyes and shy expression, Gu Xixing found it quite interesting.

He took the initiative to extend his hand, "Let me introduce myself again, I'm Gu Xixing, the CEO of Chengtian Pharmaceuticals."

"So Chengtian Pharmaceutical is yours." Tu Ran also took the initiative to extend his hand, gently shook it, and pulled it back without leaving any trace.

"Have you heard of it?" he asked in surprise.

“I often see it on TV.”

"Our ads are everywhere, right? That's the power of capital."

Gu Xixing's humorous approach resolved Tu Ran's embarrassment, and all three of them laughed.

"I don't think other leaders need to see it, so let it be."

"Xiao Gu, you are stricter than the other leaders. Since Xiao Tu has passed, hurry up and enroll him."

"Thank you, Principal Wu."

"Don't thank me, thank your own strength."

"Which major do you want to choose? Take a look. We have it all here."

Principal Wu then handed over the school's admission brochure, which contained detailed information about the majors.

Tu Ran pointed without hesitation, "Pharmacy major."

"Are you really planning to come to work in our company? We are in need of good pharmacists right now." Gu Xixing smiled gently.

"Not really, I just really like studying Chinese medicine."

"Okay, as long as you like it. But you can't live on campus, right?" Principal Wu thought of Tu Ran's identity.

"Yes, I need to go to school every day, but I won't miss any classes."

"No problem, I'll ask my assistant to handle the relevant procedures for you."

"good."

Gu Xixing looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. I'd like to invite you two to lunch. Would you do me the honor?"

"I won't eat with you. Some city leaders are coming to inspect and I need to entertain them. Xiao Tu, you can go eat with my apprentice."

Tu Ran actually wanted to refuse, but after hearing what Principal Wu said, she felt embarrassed.

Especially when Gu Xixing said, "I don't think I'll treat you to something expensive, just don't be disgusted."

Now that they have said so, how can I refuse to go?

As if deliberately disdaining the cheap food, Tu Ran could only nod.

Finally, Gu Xixing found a Chao restaurant near the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

It is run by a Korean auntie. The store is not big, but very cozy.

After they entered the house, they found a seat by the window and sat down.

"I went to college here and later went abroad for graduate studies."

"I don't need to study Chinese medicine abroad, right?" Tu Ran wondered.

"My graduate studies are in management."

"Oh, yes." Tu Ran almost forgot that the man inherited the family business and actually thought he was a Chinese medicine practitioner.

"What major did you study?" Tu Ran was very curious.

"Clinical medicine of traditional Chinese and Western medicine," he said.

"As a pharmaceutical company, you really need to understand the theories of Chinese and Western medicine. That's right." It was a rare compliment for her.

At this time, the shop owner came over with a smile, "Xiao Gu, what would you like to eat?"

"Please order something." Gu Xixing handed the menu to Tu Ran in a gentlemanly manner.

"Xiao Gu, this is your girlfriend, so beautiful."

"No, Auntie, this is my...friend." Gu Xixing also felt a little embarrassed.

Tu Ran lowered his head and pretended to look at the menu to avoid embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. It was the first time I saw you bringing a girl here, and I thought it was your girlfriend."

Gu Xixing quickly tried to smooth things over and explained, "When I was in college, I loved eating at Aunt Cui's place the most."

"I want to eat this, thank you." Tu Ran pointed to a bowl of noodles.

"Cold noodles, great. This is a specialty of my family. Many girls like it." Aunt Cui still smiled.

Seeing that she was embarrassed to order, Gu Xixing added a few special dishes.

"You are not from Xiangcheng, are you?" Knowing that she had never been to school, Gu Xixing knew that her home was probably not here.

Tu Ran nodded, "My home is in Fenghuangling."

"Phoenix Ridge seems quite far away."

Because tourism has not been developed, he has never been there, but he has heard of this place.

Tu Ran was just about to answer when his phone dinged with a WeChat message.

Xie Nancheng: Where have you been?

It's no wonder that Tu Ran even felt a little guilty when Xie Nancheng sent her a WeChat message at such a delicate time.
