Chapter 186: Admiration
"Have you picked up Tongtong from school?"
Tu Ran did not directly answer the boss's question, but diverted the topic.
"I've picked it up. I'm downstairs washing my hands and getting ready for dinner. Don't interrupt me. How about staying at home tonight?"
The last time the two had a conflict, this cold war and running away from home has been going on for a while.
It was a rare occasion that he came back on his own initiative today, so the boss shamelessly tried to keep him.
"I didn't plan to leave." Tu Ran tried his best to act natural.
Xie Nancheng was very happy, "Let's go downstairs to eat."
"I don't eat at night, you go ahead."
"Eat something with me and Tongtong. Mainly, Tongtong misses you too."
Xie Nancheng found that using children as a shield was extremely effective.
Tu Ran didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he agreed.
The two walked downstairs and went straight to the restaurant.
"sister in law."
Seeing that Tu Ran was indeed enthusiastic, Xie Jiatong ran over directly.
"My face seems to have grown fat."
Tu Ran touched the child's little face affectionately.
"Well, grandma also said that my face is round. The food in the old house is delicious, better than the one our nanny cooks. Except that I can't eat ice cream here, everything else is perfect." The child muttered.
"I can't eat ice cream. What did my sister-in-law say?"
"My sister-in-law said that things that are too cold can damage the spleen and stomach."
"That's right, just remember it. Come, let's eat."
Tu Ran stayed by Xie Jiatong's side patiently. He only had a bowl of soup for himself and picked up some food for the child from time to time.
"Why did you think of coming back today?" Xie Nancheng asked casually.
"Come back to see grandma."
"You have a conscience."
"Are you used to that place where you work?"
"Um."
"I heard it's a small clinic?" After saying that, afraid that Tu Ran would mistakenly think that he had investigated, he quickly added, "I heard from Aunt Ping that it seems to be in a small alley over by the Chinese medicine street, right?"
"Yeah." Tu Ran nodded.
"High salary?"
“Not high.”
"Then what are you trying to do?" Xie Nancheng couldn't understand.
"That doctor is really skilled, and the Chinese medicine he sells is genuine and of good quality."
"You mean, there are fake Chinese medicines?" Xie Nancheng was stunned.
Tu Ran remained silent. She was not a gossiper.
But usually, silence means consent.
It was rare for the boss to be interested in her work, so he continued chatting, "I haven't paid attention to this before. To be honest, I always thought that Chinese medicine was a scam and Chinese medicine was just a waste of money."
"Then you really have an IQ problem." Tu Ran didn't even raise his head.
"Look, why are you making personal attacks while we're chatting?" Although he said this, Xie Nancheng didn't care at all. He was just in a good mood today, and when he was in a good mood, he talked more.
"Anyway, I used to find it unacceptable that those Chinese medicine practitioners, under the guise of curing illnesses and saving lives, would prescribe Chinese medicine for three months or even six months. They would prescribe Chinese medicine for a month just for a minor cold."
"Each has its own diagnosis and treatment method. I can't say it's bad. It all depends on the dosage."
"Will you prescribe Chinese medicine for a month?"
"No." Tu Ran answered calmly.
"I don't think you would either. Whether you prescribed medicine for me or for grandma, I always saw it last for a few days, not a long time."
"Just prescribe the right medicine for the right condition. That's how my grandfather prescribed medicine."
"Speaking of this, do you want to go back to your hometown?"
"Isn't it almost Chinese New Year?"
"I don't know if you have the custom of offering sacrifices to your ancestors before the New Year."
"There is a Xiangcheng."
"If you want to go back, pick a day and I'll drive you back."
"Okay." Tu Ran just said okay, but did not specify the day.
Xie Nancheng didn't ask, but he just ate and talked, and unknowingly finished two bowls of rice.
After eating and drinking, Xie Jiatong took Tu Ran to do the handicraft homework assigned by kindergarten.
The white cat Lihua also stuck to Tu Ran when she saw him come back, following him wherever he went.
It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Xie Jiatong was taken to the old lady's room by Pinggu.
Tu Ran finally had some time to himself and returned to the master bedroom.
At this time, Xie Nancheng had already changed into silk pajamas, which were dark green in color. The fabric looked very high-end at first glance.
"That day at the Pang family banquet, Fu Yunni drank so much that she lost her mind."
"So?" Tu Ran was waiting for the next words.
"That slap in the face look was really cool, but honestly, you're the biggest drinker I've ever seen. The way you drank that day, even I would have probably vomited. How did you do it?"
Tu Ran took off his sweater jacket, revealing only a cautious long-sleeved shirt underneath.
She thought for a moment and replied, "It might be because I've tried too many Chinese medicines with my grandfather since I was a child, which has caused me to have an immunity to alcohol. To put it more deeply, when alcohol enters my body, it is quickly broken down and diluted, and it doesn't have time to affect my central nervous system at all. So naturally, there's no such thing as drunkenness, and I won't vomit, because the diluted alcohol doesn't have that strong smell, and I don't feel anything."
"Oh my god, I love you."
"At that moment, you were shining in my heart." The boss continued to flatter me.
He is not a person who praises others easily, and he will not flatter others, because with his status, others come to please him. What he said now is really from the heart.
Especially, later on.
In addition to Feng Yao, many bigwigs in the business community also praised his wife to him.
"Feng Yao knows about this, right? My buddy?"
"I know." Tu Ran nodded.
"He also gave you a nickname—"
Tu Ran: ???
"Bacchus."
Tu Ran: ...
"You deserve it, honestly." The boss continued to flatter.
"That's a good nickname. I'll take it for you."
"By the way, Feng Yao also said that when you are free, he would like to treat you to a drink. You can take your pick from his wine cellar."
"But I didn't agree. You still have to give your approval for this matter."
"Are you men also so envious of the strong?" Tu Ran felt very bored. What happened that day was already in the past, and he wouldn't have any deep feelings afterwards.
The main reason was that she didn't want to show off that day, and she has always adhered to the principle of being low-key.
But that day, Fu Yunni was like a ghost, and she kept provoking him uncontrollably.
Tu Ran is not a saint, nor is she someone who is easy to bully.
Naturally, she was taught a lesson. To be honest, Fu Yunni was extremely embarrassed that day.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a famous black history in her life, and she will definitely regret it after she sobers up.
"What does this have to do with men and women? Admiration for the strong is the same as herd mentality. Everyone is the same. You did act quite explosively that day. By the way, that woman Fu Yunni seems to be unhappy with you. Do you two have any grudges?"
"You still dare to ask me?"
"Mr. Xie, do you want to think about this on your own?" Tu Ran almost looked down on him.
Xie Nancheng was stunned. "Could it be... because of me?"
