Before the summer vacation started, Teacher Chen had a talk with him.
Because Sun Zhengguo's grades have always been the best in the entire department.
This also attracted the attention of the school. Professor Wu, a senior mentor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, thought highly of him and was willing to personally mentor him, hoping that he could stay at the school to continue his postgraduate studies.
But Sun Zhengguo refused, fearing that if he stayed at the school, they wouldn't let him leave, and when the wind picked up, he would be doomed.
Today, Teacher Chen brought up the topic again, implying that he still wanted to keep Sun Zhengguo, but he is not alone now and dares not take the risk.
Finally, Sun Zhengguo came to a realization: since he couldn't change the trend, he might as well go with it!
After thinking it through, and seeing that it was still early, Sun Zhengguo decided to go and see what Ning Xiaowei was doing, and also to inform her to get the letter of introduction.
Nothing happened along the way, and we arrived at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine again. The gatekeeper was still the same old man, Grandpa Zhou.
The two are now very familiar with each other, and Grandpa Zhou doesn't even ask any questions anymore. Sun Zhengguo handed him a cigarette and then went into the courtyard.
Before I even got to the lab, I saw Ma Wencai carrying a box, walking over from the herb field.
Sun Zhengguo decided to play a trick on him, so his expression changed, he put on a fierce look, and said menacingly.
"You, Ma Wencai, I've finally found you! I heard you've been harassing my fiancée all this time? I'll break your legs!"
Because the box blocked his view, Ma Wencai did not notice Sun Zhengguo coming over.
But he recognized the voice! It was the owner of that voice who had caused him to lose face and money last time.
Hearing that voice again today, and hearing it in an unfriendly tone, Ma Wencai shuddered in fright, and a warm stream flowed down his trouser leg. He was so scared that he wet himself again.
Ma Wencai, on the verge of tears, couldn't care less about anything else at this point. He hurriedly put down the box and said with a mournful face.
"Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. I really didn't harass your fiancée. You can ask her if you don't believe me."
Seeing Ma Wencai's cowardly appearance, Sun Zhengguo immediately lost interest. How could someone like that be worthy of being an opponent? It's truly outrageous.
"Are you telling the truth? If you're lying to me, you should know the consequences."
"Brother, if I'm lying to you, you don't need to lift a finger, I'll just find a rope and hang myself."
"Fine, you can get lost now! If I find out you lied to me, you can go find yourself a rope!"
"Hey! I'm leaving now."
After teasing Ma Wencai, Sun Zhengguo went to the laboratory and saw Ning Xiaowei fiddling with some experimental equipment.
"Cough cough cough!"
Afraid of frightening Ning Xiaowei, Sun Zhengguo could only cough a few times first.
"Hey! Zhengguo, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing her beloved, Ning Xiaowei put down the vessel in her hand and asked happily.
"I just came from school, and the letter of introduction has already been issued. When are you planning to issue your letter of introduction?"
"My situation is simple, I can do it anytime, otherwise I'll go get one when I have some free time."
"No rush, you can handle it yourself. I just came to tell you that tomorrow is a holiday, I'll pick you up in the morning and we'll go buy the wedding supplies."
“Great! My mom is urging me to buy the car soon, so I'll buy it tomorrow.”
After finishing their business, Sun Zhengguo remembered what had just happened and asked a question.
"Xiaowei, I forgot to ask, has Ma Wencai been harassing you lately?"
"No, he's been very well-behaved lately. Why did you suddenly think of asking him?"
Sun Zhengguo smiled and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"I ran into him when I came in, and I just wanted to scare him a little, but I didn't expect him to pee his pants in fright again."
"Hehehe...!"
"How could you be so mean! Do you know that Ma Wencai still hasn't paid back the medical bills he owed his cousin last time, and he's been trying to raise the money every day?"
Sun Zhengguo never expected that the last time he beat someone up, the blame would be placed on Ma Wencai.
However, mentioning Blackie solved his immediate problem.
He's going shopping tomorrow. He has the receipts for the big items at home, but he doesn't have receipts for some small items, so he'll have to ask Brother Hei for them.
"By the way, Xiaowei, we need to buy some daily necessities tomorrow. Let's take stock and see if we're still short any tickets?"
"Uh-huh!"
After that, Ning Xiaowei didn't care whether she was at work or not, and the two of them discussed and made a list.
After finishing the list, Sun Zhengguo casually put it in his pocket. He had been looking at it for quite a while, and fearing people would gossip, he said...
"Xiaowei, I'm leaving now. I need to get some tickets. Wait for me at home tomorrow."
"Then be careful not to get caught."
Ning Xiaowei knew exactly where to get these tickets, and quickly gave instructions.
"Don't worry, don't you trust me? Come on, give me a kiss before you leave."
"Kiss kiss!"
"rogue."
Sun Zhengguo didn't care about any of that, whistling as he left, completely satisfied.
After leaving, Sun Zhengguo went to the vicinity of the black market and found where Brother Hei lived.
Looking at the small courtyard in front of me, I haven't been here for several years. I wonder if Brother Hei has moved to a new place.
Sun Zhengguo walked to the door and knocked a few times.
"Knock knock knock..."
"They're here."
Judging from the voice, Sun Zhengguo knew that Brother Hei was still living here.
Upon opening the door, Blackie was momentarily stunned upon seeing who it was, before quickly speaking.
"Brother, you're a rare guest, please come in."
"Brother Hei, I hope my visit today was uninvited and didn't bother you?"
"Don't mention it, brother. Your presence here is a great honor. This isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside and chat."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two went inside and Sun Zhengguo directly stated his purpose, taking out a list and handing it to Brother Hei.
After reviewing the list, Blackie said directly.
"Brother, these are all minor matters. Right now, I can't get my hands on any food, but everything else is fine. I wonder if you could...?"
Sun Zhengguo understood what Blackie meant: Blackie wanted to know if there was any grain left to sell.
But Sun Zhengguo knew the stakes involved, so he didn't dare to take the bait.
"Brother Hei, let's be frank! I cut off that road a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed away for so many years."
Blackie was just saying it casually; he didn't expect it to work. There's no shortage of food everywhere these days. Even if this kid has all sorts of magical powers, he can't conjure it up.
Finally, the two completed the transactions on the list. Sun Zhengguo paid 18 yuan for the tickets he needed, said goodbye to Brother Hei, and left the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Sun Zhengguo turned two corners along the alley, and just as he reached the third corner, he unexpectedly ran into Ma Wencai again.
"You...you...you, why can't you let me go? What do you want? Why did you follow me all the way here?"
Ma Wencai didn't pee this time, but he cried.
Last time, it was because of him that I was heavily in debt. Now I've finally managed to scrape together enough money to pay my cousin back.
Unexpectedly, this person is persistent and has followed us here again.
Ma Wencai completely broke down, and tremblingly took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Sun Zhengguo.
"Brother, just ignore me and let me go! Consider this money a token of my respect."
Sun Zhengguo was also dumbfounded. What did this guy mean? When did I start following him?
"No, explain yourself clearly. When did I follow you?"
"Brother, if you weren't following me, how did you know I came to my cousin's place to pay back the money? Wasn't it for this money you were after?"
Sun Zhengguo was speechless. Was this guy suffering from paranoia and persecution complex? How could he even bring this up?
"Brother, why aren't you saying anything? You don't still want to kill me, do you?"
Seeing that this guy was talking more and more outrageous, Sun Zhengguo could no longer bear it and shouted angrily.
"Get out of here! Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you."
"If I don't leave, you'll definitely try to sneak up on me when I turn around. Don't think I don't know."
What could Sun Zhengguo say when faced with such a lunatic? Since you're not leaving, then I'll just leave!
Ma Wencai was relieved only after Sun Zhengguo left the alley; at least his life was saved for today.
Wait, why didn't he kill me? Was it because he was attracted to my beauty?
Ma Wencai dared not think any further; it was worse than death for him.
"Pah! He's delusional. I'd rather die than let him succeed."
In the alley, Ma Wencai muttered frantically to himself.
