Chapter 60: Blood Jelly

  The details of the report are basically true, except for avoiding Zhou Jian's smashing of the test machine. In terms of news reporting, one has to admire the Americans. Although they have a sense of superiority and many are racists, they don't care about saving face like the Chinese do, nor will they fabricate stories to save face. Moreover, their media is commercial in nature and not controlled by the government, so American newspapers often take an opposing view to the government, even going so far as to ridicule the President.

  Chu Qingyun finished reading the entire report and seemed to have experienced the scene at that time. She couldn't help but look back at Zhou Jian's photo, with a slight flutter in her heart. However, she said with a hint of annoyance: "Really, so fond of showing off, fortunately, he knew to cover his face when dealing with Sun De Guang, otherwise, if Sun De Guang saw this photo, it would be big trouble."

  Chu Qingyun somewhat reluctantly closed the webpage, and after thinking for a while, she inexplicably connected to the color printer, planning to print out this newspaper.

  But really having to print it out, she hesitated again, and if this were printed out and discovered by others, how embarrassing would it be for her; others would think she was into sibling romance.

  What's wrong with me thinking like this? Since we're siblings, why should I be so cautious? What's wrong with a sister keeping her brother's photo?

  Chu Qingyun thought so and pressed the print button decisively.

  Just as the laser printer was printing, there was a knock at the door. Chu Qingyun's heart skipped a beat and she hastily stuffed the printed paper into the drawer, closed the webpage and asked, "Who is it?"

  "Director Chu, it's me. Can I come in?" Su Xiaoqian's voice came from outside the door.

  Chu Qingyun, with a guilty conscience, smoothed out her hair and adjusted her collar before saying, "Come in."

  Su Xiaoqian walked in with a stack of files and said, "Director Chu, the Myanmar side has rejected our terms and is asking for a price increase."

  Chu Qingyun slightly furrowed her brow, "Raise how much?"

  "They want $70 per kilogram."

  "What? Why don't they go rob. Chu Qingyun was furious, during her father's lifetime, he had always been in contact with suppliers from Myanmar, the new medicine of Yuntai Company needed a plant called Blood Bottle Gourd, at that time the purchase price was only 30 US dollars, but in just over a year, it has more than doubled."

  Su Xiaoqian said: "I heard that the person in charge over there has changed, and he insists on this price."

  Chu Qingyun waved her hand and said, "This matter doesn't need you, I'll talk to him."

  After Su Xiaoqian left, Chu Qingyun felt a bit depressed. The Blood Orchid was a mutated plant from the great calamity of last century, and it was prohibited to be planted in Huaxia, only imported from Myanmar. Unexpectedly, these merchants actually raised the price on the spot.

  ……

  Two days later, Zhou Jian returned to Huadu. In fact, he had almost forgotten that he was a freshman at Lingnan University.

  "Wow, you little guy is finally back." A bespectacled guy saw Zhou Jian returning to the dormitory and revealed an exaggerated expression. This guy was currently watching a Korean drama, with his left hand holding a bento box and his right hand holding a plastic spoon constantly shoveling scrambled eggs with tomatoes into his mouth.

  This little glasses is another roommate of Zhou Jian, Wang Xiaoyin, who played "Shenmo" for three months and only reached level 18. He usually likes to watch Korean dramas. "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist, which little girl did you go cohabitate with? One disappearance is more than a week."

  Zhou Jian glared at him with a sideways glance, "Don't spout nonsense, I went home for a bit and brought you some stuff." Zhou Jian tossed over a KFC family bucket and a pack of tea leaves. Apart from that, he was also holding a pure leather Spalding basketball, which was for the donkey.

  Zhou Jian has been taken care of by Xiao Ma and Xiao Yin for several months, and he wants to buy something to give to them but doesn't know what is suitable. Xiao Ma is easy to deal with, as he likes playing basketball, so bringing a genuine Spalding basketball from the US would be simple. As for Xiao Yin, this guy usually only studies Korean dramas, women, and clothes, and of course, his ultimate goal in wearing such flashy clothes is still to study women. According to Xiao Ma's guess, Xiao Yin even watches Korean dramas to understand women's romantic psychology. Unfortunately, although Xiao Yin has done a lot of preparation work, he hasn't found a willing "dinosaur" to lie down for him to study yet.

  Zhou Jian was momentarily at a loss for what to buy for Xiao Yin. If he were to buy clothes for a guy, the thought alone made him shudder. Better to buy food then. As for tea leaves, Xiao Yin's ancestral home was in Chaozhou, and people from Chaozhou loved tea. They not only loved drinking tea but also eating it; they treated tea leaves like crackers or potato chips - you heard that right, no water added, just dry-eaten.

  He looked at the KFC family bucket, then glanced at his own boxed lunch, and decisively pushed the boxed lunch aside. As he tore open the packaging paper to grab a chicken leg, he muttered, "Damn it, what's wrong with you? Did your brain get squeezed by the door today? You actually brought back KFC, are you celebrating your success or something?" Although KFC is widely recognized as junk food, for college students who eat in the cafeteria every day, being able to eat this stuff is definitely an improvement in life. A meal that costs tens of dollars is still a luxury for college students.

  "Rub, do you want to eat anymore?"

  "Haha, just kidding, just kidding. Considering how good you've been to me today, I have to tell you some important news. At the last class meeting, our beautiful teacher said that if you don't go to her office to report before Wednesday, she'll go find your mom."

  "My god, isn't today Wednesday? Why didn't you say so earlier."

  "It's not too late, there are still ten minutes before the academy closes, you can make it if you run fast." Xiaoyin said with a mouthful of oil, smacking her fingers and speaking indistinctly.

  "Damn it, you'd better die." Zhou Jian threw away the basketball and rushed downstairs in a hurry.

  Zhou Jian ran to the college office building in one breath, nervously knocked on the door of the student work office, and the door was opened by a girl who looked like she was in her early twenties with small pimples on her face. She looked familiar, but Zhou Jian couldn't remember where he had seen her before. He asked, "Teacher, I'm looking for Teacher Zuo, is she here?"

  Zhou Jian's words made the little girl's expression change instantly. She was first stunned, then felt unbelievable, and finally burst out laughing, "I am your classmate Liang Yanmin."

  This sentence made Zhou Jian's face turn bright red, no wonder he thought this girl looked familiar, it turned out that she was some kind of cadre in the class, and must have been doing some student work at the Student Work Office, damn.
