90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

As Zong Qi was giving this reminder, the gazes of the dozens of people in the backyard, whose attention had been interrupted, all returned to Yi Congxin and Wang Quan's faces.

Wang Quan's body trembled slightly, as if he had fallen into ice.

He originally thought that apart from the Zheng family father and son who were considered experts, how many of the onlookers understood? They were all just watching the fun.

By then, as long as he strikes a good balance, unites with Zheng's father and son, and then uses his age and experience to make a fuss, at least he can save his face.

But who would have thought?

Here comes an industry giant!

He is just an old pharmacist, and he is a consultant!

It's not even on the same level!

Not to mention the little girl opposite, who actually went up and called out "Principal"?

Look at her well-behaved face, she is completely different from the arrogant attitude she had towards him just now!

Originally, he saw Zheng Mingcai was so excited that he was about to drag the old man into the house, so everyone just dispersed and pretended that what happened today never happened.

But that old man surnamed Zong, who was obviously biased towards the students of his own school, actually brought the topic back to the topic?

Wang Quan only felt that the gazes shot at him from all around were as sharp as needles, piercing through his bluff.

For a moment, he was filled with anger, inferiority and frustration, and remained silent.

It is better to follow your heart, so that your mind will be calm and relaxed, and you can just walk as if nothing is happening and stand still.

Zheng Mingcai was so excited that he had forgotten about this!

His body stiffened for a moment, then he regained his enthusiasm. "Master Zong, did you see everything just now?"

Zong Qizheng smiled silently and did not respond.

Zheng Mingcai added, "Master Zong, you are the master of the medicine world. How dare we show off our skills in front of you? We must ask you to comment on it."

Zong Qizheng smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "This is Guibao Store, I can't interfere in other people's business. Besides, this girl is my student, I have to avoid suspicion."

He spoke politely and looked sincere, but in his heart, he had already decided to follow his heart.

To be honest, he is nearing retirement and is not greedy for the position of university president.

Over the years, he has never regretted accepting the task and devoting thousands of days and nights to the administrative position of principal.

After all, what he shoulders is no longer his personal honor and disgrace, but the honor and future of all the teachers, students and staff of the school, the happiness of their families, and even the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry in the entire province.

For an old-school intellectual, these are rare experiences in a lifetime.

However, he came from an old medical family and was also a medical professional in the new society. What bothered him most about the countless paperwork and meetings was that he was too far away from the prescriptions and the fragrance of the medicine.

When he was finally nearing retirement, he suddenly realized:

Although there will be plenty of time, the family's generational inheritance and historical accumulation will probably be broken by his generation.

None of his sons and nephews have talent in this area, or they simply don't like to do this job, so how can they concentrate on studying it?

He had seen countless students and juniors, but the first one who really made him so impulsive that he wanted to accept him as his "closed disciple" was Yi Congxin.

This girl's eyes are clear and persistent. She can be seen at first glance as a child who can calm down and endure hardships. Not to mention that she is not lacking in skills and talents, which simply adds wings to her.

He didn't care whether Yi Congxin accepted or not; he had already unilaterally designated this disciple to inherit his mantle. Therefore, at this moment, he directly referred to him as "my student" rather than "a student of our school."

Zheng Mingcai didn't dare to show off in front of Zong Qizheng. He waved his hands and called the waiter to bring both servings to Zong Qizheng.

Zong Qizheng picked up the chicken gizzards made by the two people and looked at them carefully again, but he remained silent and refused to comment.

After Zong Qizheng politely declined several times, Zheng Mingcai had no choice but to sigh in his heart: Old Wang is completely screwed today.

If Zong Qizheng hadn't appeared, he had planned to make a big deal out of a small matter, no matter what. At most, he would just declare the fight a draw, and at least Lao Wang could save some face.

But now...

Yi Congxin is the direct disciple of the elder!

One look at the elder's eyes told you that he particularly liked this student, and he openly called out "good" twice!

And Zheng Ji also needs help from Zong Qizheng... and it's more than one important matter!

At this point, it seems that we can only "sacrifice pawns to save the chariot".

Finally, Zheng Ming cleared his throat, looked at everyone, and spoke without leaving any trace: "Master Wang's technique is superb. He is worthy of being an old pharmacist with decades of experience. The medicine he made is of quite high quality."

He has been in the world for many years, and his words sounded respectful and not perfunctory at all.

The other knowledgeable people looked calm, but Xin Yu, who knew nothing about the business, secretly snorted "Tsk".

But he understood that Yi Congxin didn't want him to cause trouble again, and her principal was also there, so he should be patient and listen to what the boss named Zheng had to say.

Zheng Mingcai paused, trying to maintain a calm tone:

"It's just that... Miss Congxin not only added millet to the recipe, but also sprayed vinegar to neutralize it. Whether it's her ingenuity or her understanding of the medicinal properties, she's even better... even better!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Quan couldn't help but tremble, took half a step back, and his face turned pale.

He glanced at Yi Congxin with a look of extreme hatred.

Yi Congxin had originally looked calm, but when he saw Wang Quan's miserable appearance, he felt a little bit sorry for him for a moment.

But when the two vicious cold lights in her eyes met Wang Quan's, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Her compassion immediately disappeared, and a hint of her inherent determination and calmness flashed in her eyes. In the end, only clear eyes remained, and she looked at him without fear.

When everyone heard this, they began to talk about it.

But then he heard Souji, who had been silent all this time, speak:

"One is a veteran pharmacist, with decades of experience and mastery, and the other is a rising star in the pharmaceutical industry, possessing a mastery of all knowledge at such a young age. He's truly gifted. Having these two is a blessing for our pharmaceutical industry. Zheng Ji's ability to hire these two masters shows that their reputation is well-deserved!"

Zong Qizheng deliberately amplified his voice.

He also saw Wang Quan's fierce gaze, and instantly remembered the man in the front hall pointing to "North" as "Mao"...

It's hard to say.

Zong Qizheng has experienced a lot in his life and has been in administrative positions for many years. He has always been principled but flexible.

He had seen many disasters caused by jealousy, and he really didn't want a promising young person to be harmed before he even started teaching him.

At this moment, standing here, in the eyes of outsiders, he was supporting Yi Congxin, and it was inevitable that people would think that the little girl was bullying others by taking advantage of her power. That was why Zong Qi Zheng exaggerated and praised Wang Quan again.

He just hoped that Wang Quan would feel better and show mercy to his "disciple".

Yi Cong pondered for a moment and immediately understood that although Principal Zong seemed to be praising Wang Quan, he was actually protecting himself.

She felt grateful and nodded respectfully to the principal.
