The next morning, Chen Zihan met Luo Xiaofei who was waiting for him at the gate on Qingchun Road.
As they ran towards West Lake together, Chen Zihan asked again, "Are you really not interested in going on an outing with us?"
"No!" Luo Xiaofei replied stiffly without even giving any explanation.
"Okay!" Chen Zi Han didn't ask any more questions and continued running.
Luo Xiaofei didn't seem to be in a very good mood and hardly said anything while running.
But she is usually like this. Even when playing with others, she is silent most of the time.
After running about two kilometers, the two turned back.
When they ran to Qingchun Road, Chen Zihan asked Luo Xiaofei: "Do you want to have breakfast outside or back at school?"
"casual!"
"Let me treat you to a meal out today. I've brought some money!"
Luo Xiaofei didn't refuse either.
The two went to the same breakfast shop they had eaten at last time and ordered fried dough sticks, buns, and soy milk.
"What are you going to treat me to dinner tonight?" Chen Zi Han took the initiative to talk about the matter.
Luo Xiaofei lowered her eyes and replied, "It's up to you to decide!"
"Can I eat you?"
Luo Xiaofei suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Chen Zihan with a little anger.
"So I can't decide. You decide it yourself!" Chen Zi Han didn't take it seriously and started to eat the buns with relish.
Luo Xiaofei lowered her eyes again: "Going to Louwailou?"
"Sure!" Chen Zihan was a little surprised, but didn't refuse. "That would be a real feast!"
"Then after class this afternoon, wait at the Qingchun intersection."
"Let's contact each other then. Don't let one of you be stuck waiting for ages because the other is busy. Let's just go out together at about the same time!"
Luo Xiaofei looked up at Chen Zihan again and nodded slightly.
The two of them didn't say anything else and went back to school one after the other.
During class, Ning Yuezhen sent a message saying that she had returned to Wuzhou and would come to Qiantang in two days.
Chen Zihan replied with a lengthy message: "Sister Ning, Director Wu should be sending me another order soon. It's likely for diluents, hemolysin, cleaning fluids, and the like used in routine blood analyzers. Other items might include disposable test tubes, early pregnancy test strips, a full set of hepatitis test kits, and some other colloidal gold test reagents. I'll ask for the specific requirements as soon as possible."
Ning Yuezhen's message came back immediately: "Zi Han, find a chance to ask Director Wu about the approximate amount of funds."
“If the amount of reagents is too large, will there be financial pressure?”
This time, Ning Yuezhen didn't reply immediately. After more than ten minutes, she replied: "Call me when you get out of class."
Just as the class was over, Chen Zihan walked out of the classroom and called Ning Yuezhen.
"Zi Han, I won't hide it from you. We are indeed under financial pressure." Ning Yue spoke frankly. "I never thought that the First Hospital would actually order so many reagents!"
"It just so happens that they have a physical examination next month, and their contract with the Provincial Science and Technology Development Company is expiring." Chen Zihan also revealed some of the situation to Ning Yuezhen. "If we seize this opportunity, the First Hospital can become a stable and major customer of mine. If we can't meet their requirements when we first start supplying, then the opportunity may be missed!"
Ning Yue was speechless for a while.
After a silence of about half a minute, she said softly, "I'll go back to Wuzhou first and come to Qiantang in two days. I'll discuss the details with you then. But there's one thing you must do: get the details of the order as soon as possible so we can make preparations as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, Sister Ning. I will get the detailed order as soon as possible." Chen Zihan immediately agreed, "I will contact you as soon as I get the specific order."
"Okay!" Ning Yuezhen seemed a little worried and reminded Chen Zihan, "No matter what, we must seize this opportunity to consolidate our cooperation with the First Hospital's Laboratory Department."
"Please rest assured, Sister Ning. I will do my best to grasp it, even if it means sacrificing my looks!"
"......" Ning Yue really didn't know how to respond to Chen Zihan's words.
Chen Zihan continued, "Then I'll wait for Sister Ning in Qiantang. I'll treat you to a feast then!"
"Okay!" Ning Yuezhen didn't refuse. "You've received so many rewards, you should treat me to a meal!"
The two of them hung up the phone.
At noon, Chen Zihan received a call from his father Chen Yingrong.
"Did you go to Aunt Wu Qingyuan's house for dinner?"
Chen Zihan did not deny it: "She went there, and she told you?"
"Hmm!" Chen Yingrong was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "How does she treat you?"
Chen Zihan laughed and said, "I feel like I have another mother!"
“…”
"Aunt Wu treats me like her own son!" Chen Zihan said with a chuckle, "I seem to know some of your secrets!"
Chen Yingrong became nervous upon hearing this and lowered his voice to shout, "Don't talk nonsense, Wu Qingyuan and I are innocent!"
"I didn't say you weren't innocent! Don't try to explain it like you're trying to cover up your guilt!" Chen Zihan stopped laughing and said seriously, "I'm saying you must have had a very good relationship when you were in school."
"Don't say these things in front of your mother!"
"Feeling guilty?"
Chen Yingrong refused to respond to Chen Zihan's words, but only asked him if the living expenses were enough. If not, he would remit some to Chen Zihan, but not to tell Huang Xiaojuan.
Chen Zihan couldn't help but laugh again: "Dad, you're trying to bribe me. I'm a man of integrity. A few hundred or a thousand dollars definitely can't buy me off!"
