Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Lu Qing saw her confusion and replied, “The private plane couldn’t take off, so I bought someone else’s plane ticket at a high price. As soon as I landed, I arranged for a car. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam this time, otherwise I wouldn’t have made it.”

“That was really fast,” Liang Lu said, looking down. “You don’t need to worry about me, I’m fine.”

Lu Qing sat by her bed, “I’m sorry, I didn’t take good care of you.”

With only the two of them in the room, Tan Rou didn’t want to disturb them, so she took her bowl of food and went out to eat.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Zhuang Liu standing at the door. She asked a bit awkwardly, “Have you eaten yet?”

Zhuang Liu replied with a smile, “No.”

Tan Rou handed him her bowl of food, “Would you like some?”

Zhuang Liu took a bite from her hand and then commented, “It tastes bad, I’ll take you to eat something delicious tomorrow.”

Tan Rou laughed and nodded, “I want to eat cherries and steamed grouper.”

Zhuang Liu patted her head, “As you wish.”

Ultimately, the box office for Liang Lu’s movie was affected, but not negatively; it was a positive impact. Many people who saw the news were moved by Liang Lu’s story and bought tickets to see the film. After watching it, they realized that the movie was even more touching than reality, so many went in with doubts and came out with tears.

As things settled down and the weather warmed up, having nothing else to do, Tan Rou went back to Capital University to attend her classes regularly. The university offered her great flexibility to come and go as long as she didn’t miss any classes.

Tan Rou’s advisor was a very kind old man, affectionately called Professor Yi by everyone.

That day, Tan Rou went to report her recent research findings to Professor Yi. Her research ability had long surpassed that of her peers, including doctoral students, but she still maintained the habit of reporting.

“Professor, may I come in?” Tan Rou stood at the door holding a stack of reports. Her advisor was quite old and preferred paper reports, so he required all his students to provide paper reports.

“Come in,” Professor Yi said.

Professor Yi was always cheerful, with a smile in his voice. Tan Rou really liked the old professor and thought about choosing him as her advisor if she pursued a doctorate unless he no longer took students.

Tan Rou walked in and handed her reports to Professor Yi, “Professor, these are my recent research findings. Could you guide me through them?”

After hearing her, Professor Yi laughed so hard that his eyes squinted shut, “Tan Rou, what capacity do I have to guide you? You have long surpassed me. If only you were willing to stay and teach at the university, I’d recommend you to the dean this instant to become a professor inside.”

Tan Rou chuckled, “Professor Yi, please don’t joke with me. I’m not yet capable enough. When I feel I am, I’ll consider that.”

Professor Yi said no more. He opened Tan Rou’s research report and meticulously went through it, repeating ‘good’ three times.

“Tan Rou’s reports are always the best,” Professor Yi was very pleased. “Don’t just stand there; sit down. I have a question to discuss with you.”

Tan Rou sat down and immediately noticed two promotional posters on the table with “Sweat it out, embrace youth” written on them.

Her lips twitched. She hadn’t expected Professor Yi to still have such youthful sentiments; those posters seemed to be targeted towards the younger generation.

Noticing Tan Rou’s gaze, Professor Yi said with a smile, “The dean brought these over. This year’s Capital City Youth Cup Sports Event is about to start. In past years, our Capital University always sent a lot of undergraduates. This year, the dean said our graduate school must participate too, otherwise he won’t approve our research funding. I’m still wondering who to send, as we don’t have as many graduate students as undergraduates.”

Tan Rou said, “It’s simple. Just send a few who love sports.”

Professor Yi sighed, “They all say they’re too busy and don’t have time to participate.”
