Chapter 70: Strange Woman
"Grandma is talking to you again." Xie Nancheng reminded.
"I heard it." Tu Ran gently put down the spoon of porridge in his hand.
After glancing at the old lady, he slowly said, "Grandma, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare. I can't bear this responsibility. Third Uncle and Third Aunt only have this one precious daughter. I think we should send her to the hospital for emergency treatment."
"That's true."
The old lady nodded and did not blame her granddaughter-in-law for not wanting to get involved.
The main thing is that she trusts Tu Ran, but Xie Huaishan and his wife do not trust him the same.
Tu Ran just reminded the child whether he had a fever, and the couple started talking in a sarcastic tone.
Because the child fainted, the Xie family didn't have a good breakfast and the place was in chaos.
Xie Huaishan and his wife went to the hospital with their child. In order to show their concern, the eldest wife asked Xie Nancheng's parents to go with them, as did Xie Huailan. Her husband Zhao Hui drove Xie Guangyao to school.
With so many people leaving, the room suddenly became much quieter.
Tu Ran was just about to continue making some antiviral aromatherapy when he received a mysterious phone call.
Tu Ran: Hello?
Other party: Hello, are you Ms. Tu Ran?
Tu Ran: I am.
The other party: I am Principal Wu’s assistant.
Tu Ran: Oh. (She reacted calmly, after all, she had left her contact information when we had tea that day.)
The other party: Principal Wu asked me to inform you to go to the school for an interview today.
Tu Ran: Hmm? Don’t we have to take the exam first?
The other party: Principal Wu said there is no rush for the exam. You can meet with a few school leaders today, and then you can choose your major and class.
Tu Ran remained silent...
The other party: Do you have time? Today?
Tu Ran: Sure, what time will you be there?
The other party: Come now, I will handle some simple procedures for you here.
Tu Ran: OK, please send me the address.
Tu Ran never expected that before he could receive the exam notification, he would receive the admission notification from Principal Wu first.
After thinking carefully about it, I remembered what happened that day when Xie Nancheng came.
Principal Wu seemed very cautious and seemed to have given himself a lot of green lights.
It seems that Xie Nancheng is still a very scary person. I have to be more careful in the future.
Tu Ran carefully checked the weather conditions on his phone and found that the temperature was already several degrees below zero.
Tu Ran took out a white down jacket that he had just bought a few days ago from the closet.
I also have a pair of newly bought brown snow boots. I turned around in front of the mirror and actually thought I was a little cute.
She has long black hair and wears a black woolen hat with cat ears.
It is very consistent with the youthful and beautiful look of college students.
In order not to attract attention, she chose to go out in a low-key manner and then called an online taxi to pick her up.
When Xie Nancheng went upstairs, put on his coat and came downstairs, he looked everywhere for the person, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Where are the people?" he wondered.
"Master Nancheng, who are you looking for?"
"Where is she?" The boss was embarrassed to talk about my wife directly in front of Pinggu.
"Young Madam? She just went out."
"Out? Where did you go?"
"That's not clear. The young lady didn't say."
"Has she been going out frequently recently?" Xie Nancheng asked again.
"Not often, just occasionally going out to buy some Chinese medicine and the utensils for making it."
As Pinggu spoke, she was holding the newly embroidered sachet in her hand.
"What's that in your hand?"
"This? The young lady asked me to make a sachet. She said it contains antiviral medicinal residue. Carry it with you to resist viruses."
"Stupid," he said sarcastically.
"The old lady likes them very much. I have sewn several of them. Do you want one, Master Nancheng?"
"No." The boss looked disgusted.
Especially that bright pink color, Xie Nancheng felt it couldn't be more tacky.
What a scoundrel of Chinese medicine he is, using these to fool his grandmother.
Xie Nancheng went out to work at the group with contempt for his wife.
Xiangcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Tu Ran was taken to the office by Principal Wu's assistant.
"Ms. Tu."
"Just call me Tu Ran."
"Okay, Tu Ran, go in and talk to Principal Wu later."
"Just listen to the principal's arrangements for the details."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Tu Ran thanked the young male assistant.
But Tu Ran never expected that he would meet Gu Nancheng here again.
When Gu Nancheng saw Tu Ran, he was also shocked.
Their eyes met, but no words were spoken.
"Xiao Tu is here, come and sit down."
"Master, do you have guests? Then I'll leave first." Gu Xixing was quite gentlemanly.
"No hurry, sit down and listen too."
"As one of the shareholders of our school, you are also qualified to interview Xiao Tu."
"Interview? Is she here to apply for the job?" Gu Xixing looked at Tu Ran in surprise.
"No, I'm here to go to school." Tu Ran replied.
Gu Xixing was even more surprised, but also more curious.
From the brief conversation between Tu Ran and Principal Wu, Gu Xixing finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that she had never been to school or read any books.
But the temperament she exudes really doesn't seem like that of an inexperienced person.
The main thing is the calmness and composure in his eyes, which is really not something a young man in his early twenties can have.
"Why are you so surprised?" Tu Ran looked at Gu Xixing who was looking at him.
"I just think you're legendary."
"Do you two know each other?" Principal Wu then realized that this didn't seem to be the first time these two met.
"We have met each other a few times before." Gu Xixing answered truthfully.
"Haha, what a coincidence! That's even better than knowing each other. Xiao Tu, what I mean is that after you've interviewed a few leaders and gone through this process, you can come to school directly. There's no need to rush about the exams."
"Isn't this against the rules?" Tu Ran was worried that he would cause trouble for Principal Wu.
"No, it's not that simple. There are also some requirements. Come, tell me the names of these herbs."
Principal Wu took out a large cowhide account book from the drawer.
When I opened it, I saw that it was filled with medicinal specimens.
The names of the herbs next to them were covered with stickers, probably to test her ability to identify the herbs.
Tu Ran was stunned and thought, that’s it?
"Is it too difficult?" Principal Wu was worried and felt that he was asking too much.
"No, it's not."
Tu Ran hurriedly took the herbal specimen and began to read from the first row -
"Daphne."
"Solanum nigrum."
"Zi Xuan."
"Pinellia."
Tu Ran was very fluent and could recognize names almost at a glance. She had been familiar with these since she was a child.
It's like a person who is well-versed in Tang and Song poetry being asked to study ancient poetry.
"Wait a minute." Gu Xixing suddenly interrupted her.
"When you say the name, you should also tell the medicinal properties. This will be more professional." He increased the difficulty.
Upon hearing this, Principal Wu looked at his favorite student in surprise.
His apprentice seems to be gentle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is as bright and handsome as the moon.
Why has it suddenly become so difficult to talk?
Besides, didn't he and Tu Ran know each other? Why did he take advantage of his acquaintance?
Principal Wu was indeed a little confused about Gu Xixing's behavior, but the old man did not say anything. Instead, he wanted to see the girl's reaction.
