Chapter 36 Keeping the Bottom Line
In the backyard of Yanming Restaurant, Jiang Heng sat lazily on the sofa with a notebook and made a video call with his father, which is a common habit of father and son, and they will "meet" in the network every week or two.
"Dad, my study period will be over in a few days, and I will leave school to participate in the practice in society, I don't know if you have any opinions?" Jiang Heng asked casually.
To tell the truth, after several years of study, he found that he seemed to have forgotten his original intention, became more and more indifferent to the profession of Chinese medicine, and asked himself if he could not be as enthusiastic as Qu Ruo.
"Our family is engaged in food, and sooner or later you will devote yourself to a completely different field from Chinese medicine, but I hope you can complete the study of Chinese medicine thoroughly, after all, it is a dream of your youth!" said Jiang's father with a smile.
He is now in the prime of life, and he can help his son take the helm of the family business for a few more years, and Jiang Heng can squander his time for another time.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Jiang Heng thought that it would take a lot of effort to persuade his father to stay in the local area for an internship, but he didn't expect to achieve his goal so easily.
The light in the hall was a little dim, Jiang Heng turned off the notebook, he rubbed his eyes, and slowly adapted to the new environment with the gentle light on his body.
"Finished talking to your uncle?"
Zhou Yan appeared in front of Jiang Heng with a cup of coffee in her right hand, waited for her boyfriend to tidy up the computer, and gently handed it over: "Did you father and son talk well?"
"It's not bad!" Jiang Heng was in a good mood, he could finally stay in this city for another year, and the closer he was to part, the more reluctant he was to part.
Zhou Yan smiled charmingly, she was three years older than her boyfriend, and she exuded the charm of a mature woman, which was not comparable to those girls who did not go out of school.
Putting away Jiang Heng's finished drinking teacup, taking advantage of his boyfriend's happy mood, he said his thoughts: "Jiang Heng, I found that your classmate has a very good way, the seasoning prepared is ingenious, I have tried, even if only seasonings can be used to make a medicinal diet with remarkable medicinal effects, your family is making seasonings and catering, why don't we take a little and let my uncle study the formula, if we can gain something, the Jiang family has another way to make money...... ”
Zhou Yan has admired the curative effect of medicinal food for a long time, and she can't wait to get it into her hands and enjoy it for life.
She said to herself, and when she looked up, she saw her boyfriend looking at her indifferently and seriously. I've never seen this expression before.
"If you still cherish our relationship, if you still want to go down with me in the future, please put away your ambitions, my Jiang family relies on sincerity rather than means!" Jiang Heng's face was full of benefits: "My relationship with Qu Ruo is innocent, and I don't want to mix any utilitarianism!"
Boyfriend doesn't even agree?
Zhou Yan is different from Jiang Heng, she went abroad to study early, and took over the family business after graduation, although she is only three or four years older than Jiang Hengda, she has been up and down in the business world for several years.
She knew that it was not easy to make money, so she naturally refused to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: "Qu Ruo may not know after interpreting the prescription, we can only make medicinal food in the northwest border, how can your classmate know?"
Zhou Yan wanted to fight for another chance, but she didn't expect her boyfriend's face to become more and more gloomy: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, I don't allow you to do this!"
Jiang Heng stared ahead, extremely firm: "In a few years, maybe I will be covered in copper smell, and I may try my best to study, but now, please allow me to keep this innocence!"
He didn't say a word, just stared at the white wall in front of him, as if he saw a scene from school a few years ago, the boss stretched out his right hand and said: "My name is Qu Ruo, and we will be roommates in the future!"
The boss's temper is very clear to him, if he deceives something, once the incident happens, it will be a situation that will be difficult to recover.
Some things can never be done!
Zhou Yan's heart trembled, and she saw the determination on Jiang Heng's face. If she insists on paying attention to the prescription, the relationship between the two will really be in crisis.
There was a panic in her heart for no reason, between her boyfriend and unknown wealth, she chose her boyfriend without hesitation.
Childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, how can more than ten years of affection be parted?
In order to keep the gap between the two of them, she must not only give up her ideas, but also do her best to prevent the prescription from leaking out, and all those who come into contact with the prescription must ensure their loyalty.
At the same time, Liu Xin's family also noticed the benefits of medicinal diet, and Liu's mother put the condiments into the pasta according to the method taught by her daughter, and it was effective in just a few days.
She walked much lighter, and her husband no longer seemed to complain that he was too tired from meetings.
The family began to imagine and soon understood the crux of the matter.
On the weekend, when Liu Xin came home from school again, she found Liu Ming in her room, trying to take away the condiments that had been placed on the bookshelf.
Although there was not much condiment left, it was given by the senior, so she specially put the seasoning package in the most conspicuous place, and she didn't expect her father to beat it and let herself catch it.
"Liu Xin, I ......" Liu Ming had no intention of concealing his daughter, and told the matter: "You know that Liu's Pharmaceutical is a short board in traditional Chinese medicine, I want to take the condiment to the company to analyze the ingredients and find out the real reason why it has curative effects!"
"You!" Liu Xin was full of disappointment, turned around and reached out to pick up a pair of scissors on the desk, and quickly aimed the tip at his throat: "Dad, what are you doing yourself, Qu Ruo saved his daughter's life and handed over the seasoning to me, and now you want to swallow the senior's achievements?"
Liu Xin said resolutely: "I can only choose the same between the seasoning and me, if you insist on the seasoning, I will apologize with death!"
She silently retreated to the window, panting for breath, not from an attack of illness, but from feeling the mental pressure, and her father, who had always admired her, took off his disguise in front of her, revealing his mean side.
Liu Xin couldn't accept it.
"Don't come nonsense!" Liu Ming suddenly realized that he was wrong, without his daughter, what was the use of asking for more money, he hurriedly stopped: "Dad is wrong, it's also your senior's medicinal diet that is too good to make me greedy!"
Liu Ming approached the window step by step: "Now that I let go, I don't believe that if Qu can do it, I, Liu Ming, can't do it!"
In the surprised gaze of his daughter, he raised his hand and threw the spice packet out the window, and the fine powder spilled into the air and fell to the ground.
Liu Ming didn't dare to look out at all, for fear that he would lose his persistence, what he gave up was an unusually clever potion, perhaps a lot of wealth.
The contents of the spice bag were completely spilled until they were gone with the wind, and Liu Ming suddenly relaxed.
What I gave up was just a seasoning, a prescription, but what I gained was self-confidence and the deep friendship between father and daughter.
"Rest assured, daughter, I'll go to a smart pharmacist and strive to improve the backward appearance of Liu's Pharmaceutical in traditional Chinese medicine!"
The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, Liu Xin smiled: "I study hard, strive to become a talent like a senior, and help you after graduation!"
