Chapter 349: The Doctrine of the Mean

So what? In Xiaoqing’s words, it was probably not his destiny to have such an honor.

After figuring it out, Cai Kuan took out a red envelope from under his pillow and handed it to Dai Qing.

"Xiao Qing, Grandpa put this under my pillow and said it was prepared for you. He asked me to hand it to you personally after I wake up."

Dai Qing looked at the red envelope he handed over and took it without any hesitation, "Then I won't be polite."

"I should have, I should have prepared it a long time ago. My life should be worth something." Cai Kuan grabbed a handful of hair, leaving a few curls sticking up, making him look a little silly.

But judging from his appearance, this person really doesn't look like a smart scientific researcher.

"Take good care of yourself, and we will pick you up from the hospital when the time comes." Xing Zhou patted his shoulder. "By the way, have you cleaned up your house? Is it still empty?"

Cai Kuan was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and grabbed his hair again, "...There should be a bed, right?"

Dai Qing: “…”

She understood that talented people were not good at general affairs. She could also foresee that within 20 years, this scientific talent would definitely be a Mediterranean.

"Hmph~, I knew it would be like this. Give me the key and I'll find someone to pack it up for you. At least the basic necessities should be provided."

Xing Zhou looked as if he had expected this, and stretched out his hand.

"It's your home after all, not a temporary hotel. It has to look presentable."

"That's right...thank you for your hard work."

Cai Kuan quickly took out a bunch of keys and a passbook from his pocket and reported the address and house number.

"Don't worry too much, as long as it works."

Xing Zhou took the key and confiscated the passbook. "It's just your salary. Keep it well. You still have to make a living in the future."

From now on, he will live alone and have to pay for all his expenses. This person doesn’t know how to live, and he would be lucky if he could not go hungry.

"Am I poor? My salary and bonus are all in there. I haven't spent any money... Hehe, I don't know how much money I have. I have to go to the bank and print it out."

Since he started college, he has been receiving a salary and various subsidies, and has been working. He is a very boring person, with only his family and work at home, and his life is very monotonous.

Even so, his grandfather often gave him pocket money, but he had no place to spend it. He only settled the bills a few times when he occasionally went out with a few people from Xingzhou, and the rest was in his passbook.

Cai Kuan felt embarrassed when he noticed the two people were staring at him. "Am I boring?"

"Not only is it boring, it's also a bit silly... But who told you to be our friend? You'll just have to accept it."

As Xing Zhou spoke, he couldn't help but pull the tuft of hair on his forehead. Seeing that he was grimacing in pain, he curled his lips and let go.

Dai Qing sat nearby and watched their friendship. She couldn't help but sigh. Cai Kuan was a man with mixed fortunes and weak family ties, but the friends around him were all good and were the nobles in his life.

Putting aside his identity, his luck is a bit similar to He Ning's.

"Okay, take good care of him. I'll clean up your house and try to make it available for you to live in after you are discharged from the hospital." Xing Zhou stood up and glanced at Dai Qing. "Is he still in trouble recently?"

"…Not recently."

Seeing Cai Kuan's eager look, Dai Qing couldn't help but laughed.

Cai Kuan said, "That's good, that's good."

Xing Zhou looked at him, sighed silently, turned around and called Min Wei over to take over, then came out with Dai Qing.

Standing in the yard, Xing Zhou looked at the clear sky.

"Apart from being more lively in front of us, Cai Kuan is quiet and introverted outside. People around him don't really know his personality. They only know that he is a talented scientific researcher with a head full of data... Actually, they are right. He is not good at socializing. Facing the flattery of others, he speaks as little as possible and keeps silent. This is also a mechanism for him to protect himself."

A typical socially anxious person.

Dai Qing nodded, showing her understanding that his original family was a big part of the reason for his character.

It is said that the shadow of one's original family takes a lifetime to heal, which makes sense, as she has experienced it.

"I understand that Cai Kuan is actually very innocent."

But he is not stupid, so he knows how to protect himself.

Xing Zhou sighed, and the two of them walked out together.

"In fact, I don't quite agree with Mr. Cai's style of doing things. In my humble opinion, the concept of treating everyone equally is not suitable for large families. If a family wants to stand firm, it depends on the skill and courage of the head of the family. Ability is king."

"As long as an outstanding descendant is well trained, he or she can often lead the prosperity of a family. Mediocre people can only be the cornerstone... There can be many cornerstones, but there must be a wolf king to lead. In this generation of the Cai family, Cai Kuan is the wolf king. Unfortunately, Mr. Cai believes in the doctrine of the mean."

The Doctrine of the Mean is a moral standard of Confucianism, which places particular emphasis on being impartial, compromising and compromising in dealing with people and things.

Dai Qing looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect him to talk about this with her.

"Curious why I told you this?"

Xing Zhou looked at her and nodded, chuckling.

"Because you are different from other girls. Although you are younger than me, in my heart, you are a master of physiognomy and someone who can discuss Buddhist scriptures and philosophy with me."

"I am so honored that you think so highly of me."

Dai Qing raised her eyebrows. Xing Zhou was a sociologist and a leader among the younger generation. It was an honor for her to be praised by him. Many people wanted to get to know him and hoped for his guidance, but they might not be able to meet him.

"I'm serious. You have a very good eye for people." Xing Zhou paused. "Wait for me here for a while. I'll drive you back."

"Thank you," she said, happy not to have to squeeze on the bus.

Dai Qing moved towards the hospital gate and looked at the people coming and going in front of her. No matter what era, hospitals are always the places with the largest flow of people.

The Capital Hospital, which receives patients with difficult medical conditions from all over the country, is overcrowded.

"Dai Qing?"

Following a questioning sound, Xiao Zheng, who was wearing a white coat, came over. He adjusted his glasses.

"I thought I was seeing things. It really was you."

"Doctor Xiao, long time no see." This is Jiang He's classmate and also her last attending physician.

"Why are you in the hospital again?"

As Xiao Zheng spoke, he looked at her out of habit, frowning.

Listening to Xiao Zheng's question, Dai Qing looked at him speechlessly. She understood that this man had an occupational disease, but in recent days, she was sensitive to the word "again".

"Hey~, I'm here to visit a friend."

"I see." Xiao Zheng probably felt that his choice of words was inappropriate, so he raised his hand and pinched his brows, "Your friend is in the hospital, let me know if you need help."

"Thank you. I don't need to speak for now."

With two great gods, Xingzhou and Jiang He, guarding the place, why would she need to ask for help?
