Chapter 721: I Want to Be His Disciple (Page 1/2)
At this moment, Huo Qingci was concentrating in the laboratory. His eyes were fixed on the group of mice that had just been injected with drugs, his expression serious and focused.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed the subtle changes in each mouse, not missing any possible signs of drug reaction.
Behind him stood two assistants, both of whom were assigned to Huo Qingci by the laboratory as record keepers. One of them was named Zhang Cheng, and the other was named Zhao Lingling.
Whenever Huo Qingci spoke, Zhang Cheng would immediately concentrate his attention, listen attentively, and open his eyes wide to carefully observe the situation of the experimental subject.
In contrast, Zhao Lingling held a thick notebook in her hand. Her eyes stayed on Huo Qingci most of the time, but at the same time she also did not forget to quickly record the key information.
After a period of observation, Huo Qingci finally ended the experiment.
He slowly stood up and gently took off his slightly wrinkled white coat. Then he walked to the sink, turned on the faucet and began to wash his hands carefully.
The water washed over his slender fingers, taking away some traces of the experiment.
After washing his hands, Huo Qingci didn't hesitate and headed straight for the temporary dormitory. He wanted to retrieve his lunch box and then go to the cafeteria to get his food. The cafeteria was crowded and bustling.
Zhang Cheng, who was concentrating on eating, looked up inadvertently and happened to see Huo Qingci walking towards the queue for food.
He quickly put down his chopsticks and lowered his voice to Zhao Lingling beside him, "Zhao Lingling, I heard that the director of our institute wants Director Huo to stay! He wants to hire him with a high salary..."
Zhao Lingling's big watery eyes suddenly flashed with a light, and she asked expectantly: "You just said that Director Huo is going to stay in our laboratory? Is this news reliable?" Her voice rose slightly with excitement.
Zhang Cheng, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head and replied firmly, "The director has this intention, but Director Huo will definitely not agree. I heard from others that his family is in Jing City, and he has never considered staying in Hai City to work."
Zhao Lingling's face showed obvious disappointment, and she muttered, "Oh, I thought he wanted to stay. If he could stay, I could become his disciple."
At this moment, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Zhao Lingling with a half-smile, and said, "Hey, Zhao Lingling, you're not interested in Director Huo, are you? Although he looks quite young, he's actually in his zodiac year this year, a full thirty-six years old! You're only twenty-two this year..."
Zhao Lingling blushed upon hearing this, glared at Zhang Cheng angrily, and retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm your future sister-in-law, how can you make such a wild guess?"
Zhang Cheng curled his lips and snorted disapprovingly: "Why can't I think so? Every time Director Huo comes to our place, you act like you've lost your soul, staring at him without blinking.
I have to warn you, don't do anything rash. Don't forget that the reason you were able to successfully enter this institute was because my grandfather took my brother's pride and went to great lengths to get you in!"
Zhao Lingling's eyes widened as she stared at Zhang Cheng angrily. She put her hands on her hips and angrily said, "I simply thought Director Huo was incredibly capable and admirable, and I wanted to learn from him! What's wrong with that?
If you can't stand me, then go ahead and complain to your brother! I want to see whether your brother will choose to believe me or you, a person who likes to make random suspicions! "

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng snorted coldly and responded with disdain, "Humph, I don't care whether you truly admire Director Huo's talent and ability.
Or you are trying to use his power to seek your own development, or even trying to get him to use his connections to transfer you to the capital.
In short, I warn you, it's best to give up those unrealistic thoughts about Director Huo!"
Having said that, Zhang Cheng paused for a moment, then continued with a stronger tone, "Don't forget, Director Huo is an upright military officer!
His marriage is strictly protected by national law. Anyone who dares to disrupt a military marriage will be severely punished and thrown into prison, sleeping in a cold, hard iron cage! So, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!
After saying this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ponder in his heart. He frowned, unable to understand why his brother would fall in love with a woman like Zhao Lingling.
Not to mention Zhao Lingling's ordinary and unremarkable background, just talking about her unrealistic and ambitious character is enough to make most people stay away and find it difficult to accept!
Looking back on the past, Zhang Cheng remembered very clearly that before that, Zhao Lingling was just an ordinary nurse in the hospital.
At that time, his eldest brother had to be hospitalized due to accidental injuries to his legs.
It was during this period that Zhao Lingling behaved exceptionally diligently and proactively. Not only did she do her best to take care of her elder brother's daily life, but she also helped to get meals and hot water on time every day. She was truly caring.
Perhaps it was this seemingly meticulous care that touched the eldest brother's heart, so after the eldest brother recovered and was discharged from the hospital, the two of them quickly established a romantic relationship.
Then, just last spring, the two parties had even decided on the marriage and were preparing to get married on May Day this year.
However, what made Zhang Cheng feel even more incredible was that he had no idea what kind of whispering Zhao Lingling had put into his eldest brother's ear. Not long after, even his usually dignified grandfather began to help, trying every possible way to finally successfully arrange her into the laboratory.
At this moment, the cafeteria was crowded with people and noisy sounds were heard one after another.
After Huo Qingci finished his meal, he casually glanced around, then walked towards a more secluded and quiet corner, found an empty seat there, and slowly sat down.
At this time, Zhang Cheng, who had been silently watching his every move from a distance, saw this and hurriedly picked up his unopened lunch box, stood up hastily, and walked quickly towards where Huo Qingci was.
When he approached, Zhang Cheng smiled broadly and asked humbly, "Director Huo, may I sit here?"
Hearing the voice, Huo Qingci raised his head and glanced at Zhang Cheng who was standing in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Sit down!"
After getting permission, Zhang Cheng felt as if he had been pardoned, and responded excitedly, "Hey!" Then he swiftly took the lunch box and quickly sat down in the empty seat next to Huo Qingci.
Zhang Cheng didn't know if Zhao Lingling really wanted to be Huo Qingci's disciple, but he did want to be, even though he knew it was impossible. He still couldn't help wanting to be close to him. Seeing him, he felt like seeing his uncle who had passed away years ago.
