Gao Jian was so angry he wanted to hit him. "Kid, why do you talk like that, it's so irritating?"
He recalled his time with Lu Shu. The kid seemed cheerful and straightforward, but his words were sharp, and Gao Jian had never managed to get the better of him.
Seeing that he had really angered him, Lu Shu felt a bit guilty. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Master, teach me your skills!"
Shen Qingqing blinked in surprise. "Me?"
When did she get such a big disciple, and she didn't even know it herself.
Not only she, but even Ke Lin and Gao Jian were astonished.
Although Lu Shu was young, his face was thick-skinned. "You promised to teach me your skills, so of course, you're my master. Once a master, always a... sister!"
Shen Qingqing's mouth twitched.
"Thank goodness you didn't say 'always a mother,' or I would have hit you."
She didn't have such a big son.
Lu Shu chuckled. "Sister, you're here today, so please teach me."
"If that's the case, then I am also her disciple," Gao Jian suddenly said.
"Shameless!" Lu Shu glared at him. "How old are you, and you're still taking advantage of my master? My master only has me as a disciple, so how can you be her disciple too?"
Gao Jian glanced at him and then turned to Shen Qingqing. "Miss Shen, no, Master, do you remember? You said you wanted me to follow you and learn medicine."
"I did say that."
Before Shen Qingqing could finish, Lu Shu wailed, "Sister, how can you take him? Look at him, he doesn't match your looks at all!"
Gao Jian couldn't help but touch his face. "What's wrong with my looks?"
I'm handsome!
Shen Qingqing watched them go from fighting over a master to personal attacks in the blink of an eye, her forehead instantly covered in dark lines.
She turned to Ke Lin. "Are they always like this?"
Ke Lin looked accustomed to it. "They've been at odds since the beginning, and I don't know why. They can argue about anything. President Shen will get used to it."
"Fine, then let's sit down and have some tea. And while we're at it, you can tell me about the company's affairs."
"Okay."
Ke Lin asked his assistant to bring two cups of tea and sat down with Shen Qingqing to talk. While they were chatting seriously, the other two continued to quarrel endlessly.
In the end, Shen Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore and slammed her teacup on the table.
The two of them froze and simultaneously fell silent, turning to look at her, with a hint of guilt in their eyes.
Shen Qingqing said irritably, "Are you two done yet? I came today to discuss important matters, not to watch you two bicker."
The two immediately lowered their heads like children who had done something wrong.
Ke Lin was amazed.
He hadn't tried to mediate their arguments before, but it was always useless. They simply ignored him, and sometimes he even got caught in the crossfire.
It seemed like President Shen had to step in!
The two finally quieted down. Shen Qingqing beckoned, and they immediately walked over and sat opposite her.
Shen Qingqing said, "I came today just to see how your work was going. Now it seems you've adapted quite well, and I'm relieved. If there's anything, find Ke Lin. You can also call me, but it's best not to disturb me!"
Just as they were touched by the phrase "call me," they heard the last sentence.
Their surge of emotion instantly vanished.
Lu Shu finally became serious. "Master, when can I meet the junior master?"
"What junior master?"
Shen Qingqing pretended to be ignorant.
Lu Shu pouted. "Master, don't pretend with me. I know the junior master is your child. I've always admired him and really want to meet him."
"How did you know?"
Lu Shu paused and instinctively looked at Ke Lin.
Shen Qingqing also looked over and saw Ke Lin looking up at the sky, down at the floor, left, and right, anywhere but at her.
"So, you dare to leak secrets!"
Shen Qingqing's voice was cold, sending a chill down one's spine.
Ke Lin was so guilty he didn't dare to look up. "I didn't do it on purpose. I accidentally let it slip. President Shen, you don't know how cunning this kid is!"
Speaking of this, Ke Lin also felt a lot of grievances.
At first, seeing the kid was young and seemed very innocent, he thought he would guide him well. But this child was completely different from what he imagined.
He was a little devil!
"I've been tormented by him!"
Shen Qingqing looked at his pathetic state and couldn't get angry anymore. "Forget it, I won't argue with you."
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Lu Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked expectantly, "Then when can I meet the junior master?"
Seeing his eager look, Shen Qingqing couldn't bear to refuse.
"You will, but not now. I'll arrange it when I have time."
"Okay, thank you!"
Lu Shu was finally happy.
Shen Qingqing chatted with Ke Lin for a while and then prepared to leave. On the way back, she passed a coffee shop and saw two familiar people sitting inside.
She stopped the car and looked inside from the roadside.
The first person she saw was a tall, handsome man with gold-rimmed glasses, looking very refined. Opposite him sat a woman.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her face was beautiful.
However, at this moment, tears streamed down the woman's face as she wept.
The man looked heartbroken, holding her hand and saying something incessantly, as if comforting her.
Shen Qingqing recognized the man. He looked to be in his thirties. Although his appearance had matured, she could still recognize him at a glance as Luo Lina's first love.
And the woman was Ning Su.
What were these two up to?
Just then, Ning Su looked outside. Shen Qingqing lowered the car window. From the outside, she couldn't see inside, but from the inside, she could clearly see outside.
Ning Su kept crying, and the man kept comforting her.
Shen Qingqing watched for a while when her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up, and it was Luo Lina.
"Darling, let's go watch a movie together! Today, my teacher isn't nagging me to write reports, so I finally have some free time!"
Shen Qingqing paused, then nonchalantly asked, "Why is your teacher giving you freedom today?"
"Who knows? He said he had something to do." Luo Lina didn't ask for details. "Anyway, I'm free, and I'm happy. I don't care where he goes, it has nothing to do with me."
Shen Qingqing frowned slightly. "He..."
She had intended to tell Luo Lina about this immediately, but hearing Luo Lina's voice, she changed her mind.
"It's fine, this is good. Where are you? I'll pick you up."
"No, darling, you're hiding something from me." Luo Lina sensed something was wrong.
"No."
Shen Qingqing looked in the rearview mirror, started the car, and decided not to watch anymore. It was just some ambiguity between a man and a woman, after all.
Luo Lina knew her too well. The more she said "no," the more it meant yes. "You're lying to me."
"Nana..."
"Tell me the truth." Luo Lina's tone was serious. "Qingqing, you know me. If you don't tell me, I might not be able to sleep tonight."
That was quite possible.
This girl loved to get to the bottom of things. Shen Qingqing wanted to speak but didn't know how to start, so she gave up.
"Forget it, you can see for yourself."
