Chapter 27 A Phone Call
Yu Cang opened the door and walked out of the back room.
Gu Jieshuang was still outside looking at the store, and the brown sugar water in the cup in front of her had been finished.
"How about it, Jieshuang, are you feeling better?"
"Thank you, boss, for your concern. I feel much better now." Gu Jieshuang's tone was a little helpless, as if he was coaxing a child.
"That's good. How about making beef noodles today?"
"Okay~" Gu Jieshuang became a little more energetic.
At this time, Yu Cang's personal terminal suddenly lit up. Yu Cang took a look and saw that it was Ren Zheng.
He answered the phone.
“Hey, old man, what’s going on?”
"Xiao Cang, the matter in your store has been solved, you don't have to worry about it in the future."
"Have you found the person behind it?"
"Of course, it's just a boy, I'll give it a try... Forget it, I'll help you get your student status, and I've also prepared a surprise for you." "Surprise?" Aang tapped her fingers rhythmically on the counter.
Ren Zheng laughed: "I helped you apply for a laboratory, where you can do whatever you want. Moreover, the school can allocate a certain amount of funds to you every quarter. Not only In this way, as long as you can produce enough results, the amount of funding can be increased! ”
"Laboratory." Yu Cang's fingers gradually stopped, as if he had remembered something, but there was no emotion in his tone, "...I understand. Which teacher is this laboratory under?"
"No affiliation, this laboratory is your own, how about it?"
"My..." Yu Cang was stunned, not knowing how to feel for a moment.
After a moment of silence, he said helplessly: "Old man, I told you not to transfer your guilt towards my parents onto me. You have nothing to do with them."
"You kid, what are you talking about?" Ren Zheng laughed and scolded, "I applied for the laboratory for you because I think you are qualified enough to use it and stop thinking about it. Besides, this laboratory is not just for you. It’s given to you directly. If you want to use it, you have to fight for it yourself.”
"Huh?" Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"In a few days, I will prepare a defense meeting for you. Professors from the Card Designer Academy will probably be there, and you will also Don't feel pressured, just dig into your recent research results and tell me about it."
"...It's so troublesome."
"This is for your own good." Zheng paused, "I thought about it and directly dragged you to the junior year. Although no one dared to come to me and say anything, they looked at you secretly and couldn't help but look at you with disdain. And you, a freshman and a sophomore, directly You've lost two years of classes, and I don't think you're the type to make up for them. You know, some professors don't like people like you who don't fill up the course hours.
"So I thought. , instead of waiting for them to exclude you openly or covertly in the future, it is better to stop these troubles from the beginning and tell them directly with your strength that you deserve this treatment! ”
"Old man...you have really worked hard."
"Stop talking nonsense, just say whether you want to do it or not. If you don't do it, I can leave this laboratory to others."
< br>"You said so." A smile appeared on the corner of Yu Cang's mouth, "Why should I refuse?"
"Good boy." Ren Zheng smiled, "I'll give you five Day time, no problem?”
“That’s enough”
"Okay, it's okay... By the way, in order to give you some motivation, I'll tell you in advance. If you can give me a long face during this defense, I will have a gift for you after it's over."
“What gift?”
“Speaking of it, this is not a gift from me.” Ren Zheng suddenly fell silent for a moment, then said, “Your parents left it for you. A soul card."
"What?" Yu Cang's pupils shrank suddenly.
"You should know that your parents have entered the True Dragon Death Land twice, and this soul card is their first harvest." Ren Zheng's tone was slightly lower, "Originally, they planned to I will make you a deck that is unique to you... Unfortunately, the final result is only this soul card."
"...Why didn't you give it to me earlier?"
"Before, I was afraid that you would see this card and impulsively run to the place where the real dragon died. It...is too dangerous after all." Ren Zheng Sighing, "But now, I understand. You are their child. I cannot and cannot keep you by my side forever. It is up to you to choose your future path. But I hope that you Be cautious." Yu Cang closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath: "I understand."
"Okay, it's okay."
"...Then I'll hang up first." Yu Cang was about to turn off his personal terminal.
But I heard Ren Zheng suddenly say from the terminal: "Wait, don't hang up yet."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"There is one little thing I need to tell you." Ren Zheng's tone was hesitant and somewhat hesitant.
Yu Cang raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, tell me quickly."
"Even...I will be there on the day of the defense." Ren Zheng considered his words, "When the time comes, can you No, I mean, don’t call me old man.”
Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
I don't know how long it took before he said, "Then what should I call you?"
Yu Cang's fatal silence directly made Ren Zheng furious.
“Oh, you really want to call me that when the time comes!” On the other side of the phone, Ren Zheng’s voice suddenly became louder, “Fortunately, I mentioned it more, otherwise my old face would be all over the place. You will lose everything!”
“What are you afraid of? I’ll just earn your face back when the time comes.”
"I don't care, you can't call me that!"
"Okay, okay...then what should I call you, Mr. Ren?"
"...It's awkward."
"Then, Ren Zhenguo?"
"Too formal."
"You have quite a lot of demands, or else you should still be an old man."
"How dare you!"
"...Okay, then I'll call you the principal, and you can just claim your position outside." "
"That's pretty much it...just be prepared, I'll hang up first."
"Bye.
There was a beep and the call had ended.
Next to her, Gu Jieshuang looked shocked.
Every time I listen to the conversation between these two people... I get some strange impressions.
It turns out that the unsmiling principal also has such a...cute side.
Ah, can this be said?
Looking at Yu Cang, Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but ask: "Boss, did you really want to call the principal...old man during the defense?"
Yu Cang put away his personal terminal and rolled his eyes. : "Of course not, I'm just teasing the old man."
"Ah." Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but make a mistake.
For a moment, she couldn't figure out whether Principal Ren Zheng was pampering Yu Cang or Yu Cang was pampering Principal Ren Zheng.
Suddenly, she thought of something and said: "Speaking of boss, listen to the principal, will I have to call you senior in a few days?"
"Of course, but you can call me whatever you want." Yu Cang smiled softly, turned around and went to the second floor, "I'm going to cook the noodles. Just close the door. Don't be too tired."
