Song Tangyuan nodded. He knew about this matter, but he hadn't paid attention to it before.
The director picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and then continued speaking.
"Several of the mice we use for research have died. As you know, these mice can only be imported and purchased with foreign exchange. These few mice were squeezed out from other projects for this research."
I really can't afford it anymore, so I'm thinking of seeing if I can find him and ask him what's wrong.
Song Tangyuan was at a loss for words when it came to complaining about his boss. Goodness, they can do things like this!
It's one thing for you to study other people's prescriptions in private, but now that you can't find a way in, you actually want to go to the original owner and ask them for the reason.
They're really just going to take shamelessness to the extreme, aren't they?
That's such an unseemly way of eating!
Song Tangyuan really wanted to reject the leader outright.
However, he knew that since the leader had called him directly to the office, he had blocked any way for him to refuse, and now he had no choice but to agree.
Otherwise, why would I have brought up his cousin earlier? Wasn't it just to remind him?
It means that the matter isn't over yet, and if they want to involve you, they can still do so now.
He said somewhat helplessly, "Boss, how about this, I'll go find him now."
Let's be decisive. Since we're powerless to resist, let's just do as the leader says.
Upon hearing his words, the director's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Alright, alright, whether it works out or not, at least we tried, right? I'll tell Lao Zheng later that you should go now. If you need to treat someone to a meal or something, I'll reimburse you when you get back."
The "Old Zheng" mentioned by the director is the director of the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica, who is Song Tangyuan's direct superior.
Listen to how anxious you are! You even asked for leave for me, just so you wouldn't waste any time.
Without further ado, Song Tangyuan told the director and walked out of the office.
...
Ding Qiunan was sitting next to her husband, who was sleeping on the sofa, and gently patted him.
"Li Chu, get up and eat. The food is ready."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was pulled down to the ground by a strong force.
"Ah! You scared me to death! Let go of me and get up to eat!"
"Give me a kiss and I'll get up!"
"Hey, how old are you? Why are you still cheating!"
Unexpectedly, Li Chu closed his eyes after he finished speaking.
Helpless, Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her man, then lowered her head and kissed him.
"Alright, get up and eat!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him up forcefully.
"Hey... Daddy, why do you still need Mommy to pull you up? Why don't you let Mommy pick you up?"
Just then, Li Wenhui walked into the living room carrying a plate and saw the scene on the sofa, and couldn't help but complain.
"You brat, if you're so capable, find someone to hug you too!"
Li Chu's words caused Li Wenhui to stumble, almost dropping the dishes she was holding.
"Dad!" Li Wenhui exclaimed incredulously, "Are you encouraging your daughter to find a boyfriend right now?"
"If you find someone suitable, I absolutely won't say anything."
"What kind of father are you!" Ding Qiunan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the conversation between the father and daughter.
"Am I a bad father? She's nineteen now, isn't it normal for her to have someone she likes?"
With a "whoosh," Ding Qiunan turned to look at her daughter and asked, "Do you have one?"
"No, Mom."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Chu shouted hurriedly.
“I only said that she could have it, not that she already has it.”
"Dad Chu, do you have anything?"
Wang Yueyue lifted the curtain and walked in.
"We're talking about your sister Hui. We're saying that if she likes someone now, she can start dating."
...
"Father Chu, are you worried that Sister Hui won't be able to get married in the future?"
"No, my daughter is so outstanding, why would I worry?"
"Then why are you in such a hurry for her (me) to find a partner?"
Good heavens, all three of them said it in unison.
"Uh...you misunderstood. I'm not in a hurry for Wenhui to find someone. I'm just saying that if she's willing and happens to have a boy she likes, then she can make a move."
This time they finally understood.
"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense and get to serving the food."
Ding Qiunan waved her hand and said.
At the dinner table, while eating, she couldn't help but complain about her man again.
“Other schools don’t allow students to date while they’re in school, so how come you, as a father, are encouraging your daughter to date?”
Li Wenxuan looked up, completely bewildered. He glanced at his father and then at his mother. He had been in the kitchen the whole time and had no idea what had happened.
How did this turn into my sister dating?
Upon hearing his wife's words, Li Chu calmly picked up a piece of food, put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and then said, "I think the school's rules are a bit inhumane."
His words were truly earth-shattering!
The other four people at the dinner table looked at him. Regardless of what Ding Qiunan was thinking, even the three children felt that the school's rule seemed quite normal.
"Don't look at me so strangely. A group of boys and girls your age, who go to class, live, and eat together every day, isn't it normal for them to have some feelings for each other? And it's also normal for feelings to develop into liking or admiration."
But the school is trying to suppress this most basic human emotion. What is this if not anti-humanity?
!!
What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!
"I think that whether a man likes a woman or a woman likes a man, as long as their feelings are genuine and respectful, and they don't do things they shouldn't do when they are not capable of taking responsibility, it's fine."
Ding Qiunan glanced thoughtfully at her man, then subtly glanced at Wenxuan, before lowering her head to continue eating.
Li Chu was actually saying this to his son.
Having been back for two days, he noticed that Wenxuan and Yueyue seemed to be even closer together.
Although they are engaged, they are still students. What if things go wrong and they end up doing *that*?
They don't yet have the ability to clean up the mess, so this is all he can do—to subtly remind the children.
The three children are not stupid; how could they not understand the meaning behind their father's words?
Wenhui is alright; she's single and doesn't need to worry about anything.
Wenxuan and Yueyue blushed as red as monkey bottoms and quickly lowered their heads, pretending to eat seriously.
Li Chu didn't say anything more. They were all good kids, and he believed they would listen to what he had to say.
