Chapter 353: Born with High Emotional Intelligence

"I'm not a talented person. There are a lot of people like me in the Academy of Sciences." Cai Kuan felt a little embarrassed. He just had the advantage of age. There were many people in the Academy of Sciences who were more talented than him.

Seeing his humble look, Dai Qing smiled and said, "You are the most outstanding scientific researcher I have ever met. No matter how great the others are, I don't know them."

Cai Kuan pulled a handful of his hair, sat on the bed, touched it, and his eyes lit up. It was the hard bed he liked.

"Thank you. I'll lie down for a while."

"Just stay here peacefully. I promise no one will bother you."

Xing Zhou gave an instruction and followed Dai Qing out. He watched her take out a bunch of vegetables from the refrigerator and prepare lunch. He slapped his forehead and said,

"I almost forgot, I have some food in the car, go get it."

Before going to the hospital to pick someone up in the morning, I specifically asked Aunt Zhang to buy some food, including chicken, duck, and fish, which are suitable for patients as dietary supplements. They are all in the trunk.

Looking at Xingzhou's back, Dai Qing smiled and did not refuse. When it came to treating people, Xingzhou's approach was impeccable.

Not only is he considerate in his work, but he is also humble and polite in his attitude towards others. Working with him is as easy as working with old friends.

Definitely high emotional intelligence.

Dai Qing was a little curious, was he born this way or was he cultivated later in life?

Although she was reborn, she was from an ordinary family and had never come into contact with how the children of high-ranking officials were usually educated.

As for her, she was able to be calm after her rebirth because she had suffered too much injustice in her previous life and had seen through human nature. In this life, she just wanted to live a quiet life through her own efforts.

I am not greedy and do not desire things that belong to me. My mentality is peaceful. Whether I am looking at people or thinking, my mind is much clearer than before.

Her calm and peaceful state of mind was earned at the cost of her life, while Xing Zhou seemed to be born with it.

Seeing Dai Qing staring at him, Xing Zhou lowered his head to look at the two bags of vegetables in his hands and quickly put them on the table.

"To be honest, I've never been to the vegetable market. Aunt Zhang bought all these. You can arrange them as you see fit."

From childhood to adulthood, he has never even been to the kitchen, and is truly a layman when it comes to buying groceries and cooking.

Dai Qing's face tightened as she looked at the chicken, duck, fish, beef, mutton, and two slaughtered pigeons on the table.

"There are so many that my refrigerator can't hold them all."

She had no doubt that the nanny at home had bought it, as Xing Zhou was obviously not a good cook.

"Then eat it quickly before it goes bad."

Xing Zhou took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then looked down at his watch. "The person has been sent to you. I have some things to take care of, so I'll leave first."

"Ah, not staying for lunch?" She wanted to cook so many dishes.

“No, maybe next time.” He had a lot of things piled up recently because of Cai Kuan’s matter, and they should have been dealt with long ago.

"Well, come and sit with me when you have time."

Dai Qing sent him to the door and watched Xing Zhou drive away. Just as she was about to close the door, she saw Zhao Jie standing on the side of the road.

He rode a 28-inch bicycle, one foot on the ground, looked at the direction the car was leaving, and smiled at Dai Qing.

"Are there any friends over at home?"

"Yeah, are you going to work?" Dai Qing nodded and greeted casually.

"I have a shift in the afternoon, so I'll just take a walk for a while. See you later." Zhao Jie said, stepped on the pedal, and ran away in a flash.

His mother was right. He and Dai Qing were really not the same kind of people. Look at the friends she had. They all drove cars when they went in and out, but he, who rode a bicycle, didn't even bother to join in the fun.

Dai Qing didn't know what Zhao Jie was thinking. She closed the door and went into the yard. Looking at the meat and vegetables piled on the table, she thought for a moment, took out the fish and pigeon, and stuffed the rest into the refrigerator for temporary freezing.

For lunch, she planned to make a braised fish, a pigeon soup, and then pair it with tofu, vegetables, and shredded potatoes. It was simple and easy.

Before cooking, Dai Qing called He Ning again to tell him that Cai Kuan was here and asked him to come back for dinner.

When the last dish was served, He Ning just pushed the door open, rushed to the bathroom, took a quick shower, and walked out excitedly.

"Sister Dai, where are they?"

"He's still in the east room. I'm just about to wake him up for dinner. Why don't you go and call him?"

Seeing He Ning's excited look, Dai Qing pointed to the east room and asked him to call someone.

He Ning stood at the door, knocked first, and then pushed the door open.

At this moment, Cai Kuan had already sat up. When he saw He Ning coming in, he was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, He Ning introduced herself in a familiar manner.

"Hello, I'm He Ning, and I also live here with Sister Dai. We'll be friends from now on."

"Hello, I'm Cai Kuan."

When he was discharged from the hospital in the morning, Xingzhou mentioned it to him and told him that there was a fellow villager living here in Xiaoqing. He didn't pay much attention at that time, but when he saw the man in front of him, especially his energetic posture, his first impression was that he was a good person.

Cai Kuan put on his slippers, walked to the clothes rack and reached for a shirt. He Ning stepped forward and helped him take it off.

"Shall I help you put it on?"

"No, I can do it myself."

Cai Kuan was not used to being treated as a patient, so he quickly waved his hand to stop it.

He just hit his head and had some scrapes on his body. After resting for so many days, he should have healed well.

"Sister Dai said that you are a future great scientist, a rare smart person, a national treasure, and must be well protected. Compared to you, I am just a rough guy. If you need me to do anything, just ask."

"It's not as exaggerated as Xiaoqing said. I'm just a scientific researcher."

Everyone was so polite to him that Cai Kuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He Ning looked at his expression and clapped his hands.

"We are family and don't talk behind each other's backs. Since we are friends, let's not be polite. Let's go and have dinner. Sister Dai's cooking skills are really good. Whenever she cooks, you can smell the fragrance from far away."

Hearing this, Cai Kuan also laughed.

"I believe what you said. Last time I had the honor of tasting Xiaoqing's cooking, it was indeed better than the food in the hotel. If I hadn't been in the hospital, I would have come here to eat for free."

The two of them came to the restaurant chatting and laughing, looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, the colors alone were appetizing.

"Hurry up and sit down to eat. Have a simple meal at noon, and I will make braised spareribs for you in the evening."

Dai Qing watched the two of them staring at the dining table. She first served Cai Kuan a bowl of pigeon soup and placed it in front of him, then served her and He Ning a bowl each.

Pigeon soup is for nourishment, and all three of them need it right now.

He Ning sat down and chuckled, "I like braised pork ribs too. I've been renovating the house these days, so I've been expending a lot of energy, so my appetite is particularly good."

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of the pigeon soup. His eyes lit up, "It tastes good, fragrant, and has a bit of Chinese medicine flavor."
