Chapter 506 Repeated Tests
Song Dong was a little confused: "Isn't it normal for Si Min's wife to be pregnant? What does this have to do with you?"
Chen Limin said angrily, "I'm so angry I can't sleep. If Song Man had any self-respect, she could have married Si Min. And that daughter, since they're divorced, she shouldn't have her. What's the point of her taking her back?"
Song Dong said incredulously, "Mom, what are you saying? Tian Tian is Xiao Man's daughter, how can she not want her? Besides, you didn't agree to her being with Si Min back then, and it made such a mess of things."
"How could they still be together?"
As they were talking, the courtyard's loudspeaker came on, playing Shen Luojia's sweet singing voice.
Chen Limin slammed her fist on the table in anger: "Shang Shiying is deliberately trying to provoke me by finding a fool as a wife for Si Min. She wants to tell everyone that she would rather have a fool than Song Man."
"Look what's gotten even more infuriating now. They're letting this idiot sing on the radio every day. How am I supposed to feel good listening to that?"
This was the first time Song Dong had heard Shen Luojia sing, and he was somewhat surprised: "Si Min's wife can sing? Isn't that great?"
Chen Limin rolled her eyes in anger: "What's so good about it? Shang Shiying knows how to drive me crazy. Now, I can hear that sound every time I eat, and I can't even swallow my food."
Song Dong was speechless, not understanding where Chen Limin's delusions came from.
Chen Limin changed the subject: "And then there's Jiang Zhizhi. She sees everyone in the hospital except me. No wonder her family has a daughter who's a freak."
Song Dong's face darkened: "Mom, you can't just say things like that. Besides, Zhizhi's daughter is very cute. If you keep talking like this, you'll deserve to get beaten up later."
Chen Limin looked at Song Dong with dissatisfaction: "You don't know anything, how can you say I'm just talking nonsense?"
"That little girl is so young, yet she dares to catch poisonous snakes and toads. Moreover, since she was born, many poisonous snakes and toads have appeared in the compound, and they are much bigger than before."
Song Dong remained cold: "So, you're just going to pin this on a child who doesn't understand anything? Where did this rumor come from?"
Seeing her son's stern tone, Chen Limin smacked her lips and muttered softly, "It's what outsiders are saying, but I didn't spread it."
Song Dong felt a headache coming on: "Mom, can't you at least have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? This is obviously nonsense. If the Zhou family hears this, it will cause more trouble."
"How come you've gotten so old, and now you've become enemies with everyone in the hospital?"
Chen Limin retorted, "That's because they're sycophants, they're so petty. They see how powerful Jiang Zhizhi is now, so they all try to curry favor with her."
Song Dong couldn't communicate with his mother at all: "Aren't you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital? If you do, I'll take you there now."
Chen Limin glared at him: "Song Dong, you have no conscience at all. You'll just turn around and blame me."
Song Dong remained silent, letting Chen Limin complain for a while, before finally getting up and saying, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Chen Limin also stood up: "Song Dong, don't blame me for not telling you, you're close to Zhou Xiye, so you speak up for them. You'll get yourself into trouble one day."
Watching her son walk out without a word, one of his legs still a little stiff, she suddenly remembered: "Aren't you close to Zhou Xiye? Why don't you ask Jiang Zhizhi to take a look at your leg? I heard she can even cure that idiot."
Song Dong closed his eyes, feeling utterly helpless. It would be better if he came back to this house less often in the future.
However, do the snakes and toads that frequently appear in the compound have anything to do with Shang Shang?
...
When Jiang Zhizhi arrived at the lab, Chu Fenghe had already arrived as well, and had even prepared hot water for each office.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi come in, he smiled and said, "I had nothing to do, so I came over early to see if I could help you with anything, since you work even harder."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled politely: "Then thank you for your trouble, Team Leader Chu. We'll have to trouble you to provide logistical support for us."
Chu Fenghe smiled and pushed up his glasses: "It's all what I should do. I can't help much with the experiments, but I can handle these logistical tasks."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled but didn't say anything. She went to her office to change her clothes and then went to the laboratory.
After leaving the lab, it was past lunchtime. As soon as she entered the office, Xiao Zhang, who had come back with her, exclaimed, "Teacher Jiang, look, there's still a lunchbox on your desk!"
There are five people in their office, and each of them has a lunchbox with their food already prepared on their desk.
Jiang Zhizhi frowned, knowing without a doubt that it was Chu Fenghe.
Xiao Zhang washed his hands, opened the lunchbox lid, and exclaimed in surprise, "My God, it's braised pork rice!"
Each lunchbox contains two pieces of braised pork the size of an egg, along with broth poured over rice, and some stir-fried cabbage on the side—a nutritious and hearty meal.
The others also opened their lunchboxes, and they were all very happy, since the cafeteria doesn't serve meat every day.
Jiang Zhizhi sat down without saying a word, wondering what Chu Fenghe was planning.
She put the lunchbox aside and didn't touch it, instead organizing the experimental data on the table.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang across from him looked on in surprise: "Teacher Jiang, why aren't you eating? The food won't taste as good if it gets cold."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "I'm not hungry yet. You guys eat first, and I'll organize the experimental data."
As he spoke, Chu Fenghe walked in with a smile: "Did everyone enjoy lunch today?"
Xiao Zhang, an outgoing person, smiled and thanked them, saying, "Since Team Leader Chu came, our meals have improved. This is so delicious; we only get meat once a week in the canteen."
Chu Fenghe smiled and said, "You've all worked so hard, you should eat something good. This is something I bought from the cafeteria outside."
Upon hearing that the food was bought from the canteen outside, Xiao Zhang quickly said, "Team Leader Chu, I'll give you the food coupons in a bit."
Chu Fenghe waved his hand: "No need, no need. I'm happy to serve you. You don't need to give me this little bit of money."
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi hadn't eaten, she asked with concern, "Why aren't you eating, Teacher Jiang? Is the food not to your liking?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "No, I ate a lot for breakfast and I'm not hungry right now. Let's see who doesn't have enough and share this meal with them."
Chu Fenghe smiled and said, "Put it here for now, you can eat it if you get hungry this afternoon."
After saying a few more words of concern to the others, he strolled out of the office.
Xiao Zhang ate his meal with satisfaction. Seeing Jiang Zhizhi busy, he discussed with the others, "I thought the new team leader would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect her to be so approachable."
The others chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I heard Chu Fenghe is from a privileged family, but he doesn't seem to have any airs at all."
Jiang Zhizhi gripped the pen in her hand; Chu Fenghe's methods of winning people over were all too familiar to her.
As Jiang Zhizhi was leaving the office carrying a bag of data, she ran into Chu Fenghe again.
Chu Fenghe looked at his colleagues in the corridor and smiled, "Anyone going the same way? Shall we walk together? Teacher Jiang, where do you live?"
