Old Master He was taken aback, his emotions suddenly becoming somewhat agitated. "So you're saying that the thing that poisoned me was that safe box?"
"Yes, I've already checked everything on it, so may I ask what's inside the safe? Is it important?"
It was unclear which word in the sentence made Old Master He seem somewhat dazed, his eyes lowered in deep thought, but Qi Jiu didn't disturb him.
After a long while, he looked up, his eyes very serious.
"Important, very important." His tone was unusually solemn and serious.
Hearing this answer, the girl's guess was pretty much right, and she nodded at Grandpa He.
"That……"
"Qiqi, can I shamelessly ask you for a favor?" Old Master He looked at Qijiu with a somewhat bitter smile.
Qi Jiu looked at him and nodded.
They spent the day at the He family's house, and He Qingfeng took advantage of a period when Old Master He was in a better condition to rest for a while.
Zhu Luoxing and Chu Cangyu had never encountered anything like this before. Sitting on the He family's sofa, they were momentarily at a loss. However, leaving now wasn't a good solution either.
"Why the long face? What's wrong? Tell me and make your godfather happy."
Qi Jiu, carrying a bag of 'Kaka' desserts, had just entered through the door when she spotted the two dejected people.
Zhu Luoxing and Chu Cangyu: "..." (Flips table)
"Godfather, do you really think pharmacy has a bright future?"
Qi Jiu was taken aback, looked at the two people who were in a daze, and suddenly smiled.
"Why do you ask that? You haven't given up halfway and you've been studying diligently. I've seen your grades. How could you not have a future? Pharmacists are scarce in China. The further your grades go, the more likely you are to achieve great things."
As she spoke, she looked at the two people with furrowed brows and opened the 'Kaka' gift box in her hand.
As the aroma of desserts wafted out, the voice was soft, as if soothing a child.
"There are fewer and fewer pharmacists now, because the profession is similar to that of a doctor, but it is more difficult, and the future is uncertain, so many people give up. Since you have chosen to study this, you should not have been confused before, so persevere now."
Zhu Luoxing shook her head, "I just feel that this profession requires a long time to learn, and the future..."
"No profession is easy. Pharmacists have high status and high pay, making it even more difficult. In today's society, ordinary college graduates are no longer wanted as doctors."
As she spoke, Qi Jiu pushed the dessert in her hand forward, "You're only saying this because you see that I can save people, but you can't help with anything yourself, right?"
The girl chuckled softly as the two people opposite her nodded.
"There are 360 professions, and no single profession can solve many problems. You will shine in the field of pharmacy."
Just like performing arts students, they might become actors or explore other industries in the future, but pharmacy is something they'll probably never encounter in their lifetime. Their exposure to it is pretty much limited to this area.
This is the limitation of a profession; everyone is born with their own strengths.
Chu Cangyu and the other person seemed to understand, nodded, and ate their desserts with small forks like children.
"This dessert... is so delicious?" Zhu Luoxing looked at the dessert in her hand with some amazement until her eyes fell on the packaging box next to her, and then she suddenly realized.
"No wonder, it's coffee! I never thought I'd get to eat coffee in my lifetime..."
The two people who were previously lost are now on the verge of a breakdown.
Qi Jiu: "..."
"Where's the senior?"
They've been talking here for ages, but where's Jiang Xin?
"She's with Qingfeng, probably because of Grandpa He. Qingfeng hasn't been sleeping well these past two days, and Jiang Xin has gone over to be his lullaby."
Life in the He family was both stressful and relaxing.
Qi Jiu looked at the man on his phone, who was trying hard to send emojis, and found it funny.
If others knew that this person, who is decisive and autocratic in the outside world, was now sending her cat emojis on her phone, what would their reaction be?
Qi Silin: "..." Please do not spread this!
Continent Z.
Chongyu took off his suit and put on a black training uniform that allowed for easy movement. He wore sunglasses and frowned as he looked at the cars coming and going.
"Brother, are they really coming? What time is it? Why can't we see them?" He knocked on the window of the car next to him.
As the car window rolled down, a handsome yet sharp face appeared before him. "They'll come. If they don't, wipe them out! Tell Liu Yun to be careful and not miss the auction. I still have things to get."
On this side, as dusk fell, Qi Jiu and the others sat at the dining table, somewhat stunned as they watched Butler He pile the table high with delicious food.
"Grandpa Butler, there's so much, we can't finish it all. Don't take any more, this is enough."
Unexpectedly, Butler He waved his hand generously, "It's alright, eat as much as you can! This is what the He family should do. As long as you're happy, this room can be filled to the brim!"
If the way Butler He looked at Qi Jiu before was somewhat different, now he practically treats Qi Jiu as the He family's savior.
And that is indeed the case.
"Qiqi..."
Suddenly, a somewhat sleepy voice came from upstairs. Looking up, I saw Jiang Xin and He Qingfeng walking down the stairs side by side.
He looked somewhat tired and sleepy.
These past two days must have been very tiring.
"You must be hungry after being busy for so long, right? Come on, have some." Qi Jiu took out the two desserts that she had specially saved for them from the packaging box.
"Come and try this! It's Kaka's new product today. There are only two pieces left. If you don't eat it now, it'll be gone. There are two greedy cats watching over there."
Chu Cangyu and Zhu Luoxing: "..."
He Qingfeng rubbed his head wearily, looked at the three smiling faces at him at the dining table downstairs, and suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
It's so good that they're still there for the He family after such a big tragedy.
"Thank you so much."
"Don't be so formal. If you don't eat it soon, we're going to devour it."
Seeing the two people sharpening their knives and eagerly preparing the dessert, Jiang Xin quickly pulled the dessert to her side.
"Don't even think about it."
The atmosphere at the He family home seems to have improved considerably.
Suddenly, Qi Jiu seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked upstairs. She saw that Old Master He, who should have been resting in bed, had gotten out of bed at some point and was now standing upstairs, smiling at them.
