Chapter 255: Debt of Favor
"Get lost."
Old man Sun directly refused. It was obvious that Tu Ran was joking.
Of course she knew that fortune tellers were all superstitious about predicting people's life and death.
Human life and death are not something that humans can control. Even the life and death of ancient emperors were controlled by those below them.
Who among the fortune tellers dared to assert these things? Even if they did, they would be betraying the secrets of Heaven.
It was just a small episode, but it made Old Man Sun see clearly that he was right to accept this little apprentice.
At noon, Tu Ran took the initiative to prepare two very sumptuous dishes, braised pork ribs and beef with cucumber.
Old man Sun was so happy that he drank some of the medicinal wine he made himself.
"School is about to start for you, right?"
"Well, more than a week."
"Is university starting so early?" The old man frowned slightly when he heard that there was still a week left.
"Well, that's what medical school is like."
"It's troublesome. There weren't many medical schools back then. Several generations of my ancestors didn't even go to school, but they still treated patients."
"So what you're saying is, it doesn't matter whether I go to school or not. How about I drop out?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The tuition is very expensive and you can't waste it. Now that you are enrolled, you should study hard." Old man Sun was also very conflicted. On the one hand, he really couldn't bear to part with his little girl apprentice. She would definitely not be able to come often since school had started.
On the one hand, he really hoped that she would complete her studies well. Although he expressed disdain for it, the university where Tu Ran was studying was indeed very prestigious among medical schools across the country.
Among them, there are many talented Chinese medicine practitioners, who are said to have entered the best hospitals in Beijing and are famous throughout the country.
"Don't worry, I'll start school soon and I'll always find time to come back and see you."
"What are you looking at? You won't die, and if you don't work, I won't pay you." The old man said stubbornly.
"If you don't give it to me, I'll just eat for free." Tu Ran said deliberately.
When Old Man Sun heard these words, he smiled, but he was still stubborn and said, "Hurry up and eat. Even eating can't stop your little mouth."
On the other side, Shengshi Group
Xie Nancheng was indeed busy the whole day. He wanted to send WeChat messages to his wife several times, but was interrupted and missed the messages.
There were meetings, meetings with clients, and a lot of expedited documents to sign.
"Anything else?" Xie Nancheng asked Xu Xin.
"That's all for now." Xu Xin put away the signed document.
"By the way, how's that going?"
Xu Xin reacted immediately. "We've already investigated. The couple ran a small business. I heard they drove a small truck to the countryside to sell shampoo and other products, and they brought the child with them. According to their own description, when the child was lost, she was probably the same age as the young lady, also a girl. There are no photos, and they didn't keep any. Coincidentally, the child was lost in the countryside near Fenghuangling. We're not sure if she was stolen by human traffickers, lost on her own, or murdered."
"The couple searched for several years, but gave up because information was not well developed at that time."
"They have now settled in the nearby city of Yancheng, and have run a successful business, owning a daily necessities company. However, they now have two more children, so... I don't think they're as eager to find their children anymore."
I don’t know what happened, but when Xie Nancheng heard Xu Xin say that the other party didn’t want to find the child, he was actually very angry.
His first reaction was, my wife is so good, how come they don’t want to find another one?
"They don't want to look for it anymore? What the hell?" Xie Nancheng stared.
Xu Xin was in such a hurry, trying to smooth things over. "Ah, I'm not entirely sure. After all, they haven't said anything themselves. We'll have to wait until we formally contact them to find out the details. I only found out that after they had two more children, they didn't really look for the missing child. But I believe that if they knew their own flesh and blood was still alive, they would definitely be very excited."
"Did you get the sample?"
"Well, we got the man's hair, and we're just waiting for the young lady's hair for genetic comparison."
"As long as the DNA result is good, it will be fine."
"Well, I'll go back and do it tonight."
After saying that, Xie Nancheng stood up and was about to leave when the intercom phone rang.
"Mr. Xie, there's a lady named Zhou Han who wants to discuss some business with you."
"Say it's your friend."
"I'm still holding Assistant Xu's business card that you gave me." The receptionist reported politely.
To be honest, if it weren't for the last sentence, Xie Nancheng would have kicked the man out.
He doesn't like Zhou Han.
But when he mentioned that business card, he would think that Zhou Han did remind him of that matter at Lin Chen’s wedding.
It can be considered as a small favor, right?
"Let her in."
"Okay, Mr. Xie."
Five minutes later, Zhou Han knocked on the door and came in.
She was wearing a white lady's dress and simply a pair of large pearl earrings.
Dressed like this, she looks much more capable.
"Senior Nancheng, I'm sorry I can't come in person."
"I should have made an appointment with you in advance, but I happened to pass by your group so I came to take a look." Zhou Han smiled.
"Is there something wrong?" The boss' attitude was still cold.
"I do have business I want to discuss with you."
"Talk to Assistant Xu about the business matters. He understands the procedures."
"Senior Nancheng, I think this matter still requires your consent. Assistant Xu probably can't make the decision."
"What's the matter? Just tell me. I have something else to do and I have to go out in a hurry." Xie Nancheng looked at his watch and couldn't wait to run to pick up his wife from get off work.
"My father gave me the Zhou Gold business, but as you know, the gold market is very competitive in China right now. My father and brother have both achieved great success. I don't have much room for development anymore, so I have a bold idea. I want to collaborate with your company to create a new Chinese gold product. You can take 70% of the shares, and I'll take 30%."
"That sounds like a lot of trouble. Just tell Assistant Xu about this and have him report back to me. Then, go back and make a detailed plan and send it back."
"Senior Nancheng..."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Xie Nancheng had no intention of listening to Zhou Han's grand plan and directly handed her over to Xu Xin.
In fact, if it weren’t for the small favor that day, Zhou Han might not have been able to enter this door today.
After Xie Nancheng left, Zhou Han glanced at Assistant Xu and smiled awkwardly.
She suppressed her anger and briefly told the assistant her thoughts.
She was doing the whole act, but business was just the surface. Her main purpose was to get more contact with Xie Nancheng.
It’s a pity that this straight guy really doesn’t give me a chance.
On the other side, when Mu Wanjun came out to eat in the evening, she received a call asking for a meeting.
The meeting place happened to be at a nearby coffee shop.
"Hello, Miss Mu, I'm the assistant of the famous star Ling Fei'er."
"I came to you today to tell you something. Mr. Feng Yao is our sister Fei'er's boyfriend. I also hope that Miss Mu will not be a mistress who destroys other people's relationships. What do you think?"
The female assistant weighed over 140 pounds, had a face full of fat, and came with bad intentions.
He even ordered a cup of coffee for himself and asked for a free glass of water for Mu Wanjun.
Mu Wanjun lowered her head, holding the water cup, without saying a word.
"Ms. Mu, stop dreaming about what you can't get. Are you worthy enough to compete with big stars?" The female assistant was extremely strong and started to suppress Mu Wanjun's personality.
