Chapter 84: I've Long Heard of You
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fang chuckled, "No one really thinks that a few potato balls can eliminate all the rats, right?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, as if mocking the naiveté of such an idea.
Before Ruan Chuxia could say anything, her good friend Zhou Lulu next to her was not happy about it.
Even though she also thought it was incredible to kill mice with potato balls, they were good friends after all!
How can one mock one's friend like this?
She said without hesitation, "The results haven't even come out yet, and some people are already making sarcastic remarks. It seems the last lesson wasn't enough!"
There was a hint of anger in her tone, and she was obviously dissatisfied with Chen Fang's remarks.
Chen Fang was about to retort and was about to open her mouth to argue.
At this time, Dean Hu suddenly walked in.
"Xiao Ruan, hurry up and pack your things. The captain has sent a car to pick you up!"
Dean Hu's voice was full of urgency and excitement, interrupting the argument that was about to break out.
In the surprised eyes of the crowd,
Ruan Chuxia stood up calmly and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
His voice was calm and firm, as if he had already anticipated what was going to happen.
As soon as he got in the car, Dean Hu turned to look at Ruan Chuxia, who was sitting in the back seat, his face full of excitement, "Xiao Ruan, you have made a great contribution this time!"
His eyes were full of affirmation and appreciation.
Ruan Chuxia knew in her heart that it must be because of the potato ball incident.
He wondered in his mind how things would develop next.
As expected, Dean Hu continued, "Yesterday, the cleanup team discovered that your team 107 had the most rats. The other four teams combined only had about the same number as you!"
There was a sense of disbelief in his voice, as if even he himself was a little bit unbelievable.
The driver also became excited after hearing this and interrupted, "Hey, I see that the ordinary potato balls are quite effective, but these boric acid potato balls are really unexpected!"
His words were full of curiosity and admiration, as if he had witnessed a miracle.
Dean Hu slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory! Those boric acid potato balls are truly special! This is the first time I've seen a cockroach voluntarily crawl into a sewer and die. Xiao Ruan, can you tell me the secret behind this?"
Ruan Chuxia smiled slightly. "Actually, I put some Chinese herbal powder I made myself in the potato balls. This medicine will cause the cockroaches to become severely dehydrated after eating it. They will naturally seek out water."
"And then they died in the sewers?"
Dean Hu asked hurriedly.
"right."
Ruan Chuxia nodded in affirmation.
Dean Hu's eyes widened. "Amazing! This is truly amazing! I never thought there was such a method of exterminating insects in the world. It seems I haven't read enough!"
Ruan Chuxia didn't say anything more, because this method would not be widely understood until a long time later, and it was not because Dean Hu lacked knowledge.
…
The car soon arrived in front of the big shot's office building.
It is called a building, but in fact it is just a two-story brick house with red slogans that symbolize the era painted on the walls.
"Promote production."
As soon as they got off the car, Secretary Zhang Peng, who had been waiting to greet them, immediately came forward.
"President Hu, Doctor Ruan, I've heard a lot about you!"
Zhang Peng shook hands with them enthusiastically.
Ruan Chuxia responded in the same friendly manner, "Hello, Secretary Zhang."
After greeting each other, the three of them walked together towards the conference room on the second floor.
As soon as she entered the room, Ruan Chuxia noticed that several important people had gathered in the room.
Several important figures were present, and she even saw an unexpected figure - Xiao Zhiyu was also there.
This scene surprised her a little. After all, if they were just discussing those potato balls, there didn't seem to be any need for so many people to gather together.
But before she could think about this question carefully, Yuan Luchang had already pointed at her with a smile and began to introduce her to everyone present.
"Director Wang, this is Xiao Ruan, the one I mentioned before, the one who saved me from death. She's also one of the key researchers behind the innovative drug we're currently researching."
His words were full of affirmation and appreciation for Ruan Chuxia.
After being called, Ruan Chuxia noticed that Director Wang, who was sitting in the middle, slightly pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and asked in a very gentle voice, "Are you Ruan Chuxia?"
"Yes," Ruan Chuxia responded immediately when she heard the other party address her by name, maintaining a perfectly composed smile. "I've heard you're very approachable, and now that I'm meeting you today, it's truly true that hearing about you is worse than seeing you in person! Your demeanor is truly extraordinary!"
She hoped to leave a good impression on the other party through these words.
After hearing Ruan Chuxia's answer, Director Wang smiled with satisfaction. "For those of us who are committed to serving the general public, if we can't truly reach out to the masses, understand their sentiments, and solve their problems, then the meaning of our existence will be greatly reduced."
His words revealed a deep understanding and recognition of his own responsibilities.
Seeing that what she had just said had a good effect, Ruan Chuxia continued to praise tactfully, "No matter how high the trophy is, it is not as precious as the most genuine praise from the people. Directors like you who are both accomplished and deeply loved are truly rare!"
She knew that giving compliments at the right time was always the right thing to do in such situations.
After a few words, everyone present was infected by Ruan Chuxia's humorous and appropriate language, and they all smiled knowingly.
Yuan Luchang and Dean Hu looked at each other, both of them were very surprised.
I originally thought that Xiao Ruan might be a little reserved or nervous when attending such a high-level gathering for the first time, but I didn't expect her to be so free and easy in front of everyone.
Xiao Zhiyu, who stood aside and silently observed all these changes and developments, was also shocked, because he always thought that Ruan Chuxia was just an ordinary girl from the countryside. Although she was smart, she was not good at socializing.
However, at this moment, her performance forced people to re-examine this girl who seemed ordinary but actually had extraordinary inner qualities.
If I didn't know that she had indeed lived in the countryside since she was a child, I would almost suspect that she was an old hand who grew up struggling in the city.
Ruan Chuxia pretended not to see their expressions and sat calmly next to Xiao Zhiyu.
"Xiao Ruan, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
Director Wang asked with a smile.
Ruan Chuxia nodded, "It's about that new batch of pest control drugs."
"That's right. Thanks to the new drug you invented, the rat eradication efforts are better than ever before. I've already reported this to the director. I expect you'll be awarded the title of 'Advanced Worker' in a few days."
Director Wang continued.
"Thank you, Director Wang!"
Ruan Chuxia was filled with joy. This title meant that her position in the clinic would be more stable.
