318: How handsome is Zhen Yuexin?
"Aunt Zhen is too meticulous, it must be very hard for her," Liu Xiaolin asked.
"Isn't that right? Zhen Dajie is a few years older than me, and her hair is already completely white," Hao Xiuhua said sympathetically. "She always tells me that once she's gone, she doesn't know what will happen to Zhen Yexin, this child, with no one to take care of him."
"Don't worry, tell her that we will always hire a caregiver to look after him," Liu Xiaolin said.
"I told her that our medical assistance fund is here to help patients who need help," Hao Xiuhua said with a sigh. "She was incredibly touched by our initiative to help Zhen Yexin. She said that since the child's accident, she hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. This time, we helped her hire a caregiver, so she can go home and rest well at night."
"Has the Dr. told you about Zhen Yexin's condition?" Liu Xiaolin continued to ask.
"I went to ask the Dr., and the Dr. said that Zhen Yexin is currently in a coma and is a vegetative state, and it's unlikely he will wake up," Hao Xiuhua still said with great regret. "You didn't see it, Zhen Yexin, this young man, was truly handsome."
Liu Xiaolin listened to his Mom constantly praising someone else's son and felt a bit unconvinced. "How handsome? More handsome than me?"
"Yes, more handsome than you," Hao Xiuhua said without hesitation.
Liu Xiaolin had been praised for being handsome since he was a child, and every time Hao Xiuhua heard it, she would be overjoyed. She never expected it would be her turn to praise someone else's handsomeness this time, and this person was still a comatose vegetative state...
Liu Xiaolin was quite speechless, not knowing how handsome this Zhen Yexin was. Niu De's wife hadn't mentioned that Zhen Yexin was a great handsome guy either.
Perhaps people in the archaeology major don't care about appearance at all.
"Mom, how can you decide someone is more handsome than your son?" Liu Xiaolin said, very unconvinced.
"Mom is just stating the facts, understand?" Hao Xiuhua heard her son's unhappy tone and smiled. "Of course, our Xiaolin is also very handsome, otherwise how could Tongtong like him so much?"
Tongtong, who was listening on the phone nearby, couldn't help it. "Auntie, hello. In my eyes, Xiaolin is the most handsome, no one can compare."
"Tongtong, hello," Hao Xiuhua said with a smile, exposing the reason. "That's because love is blind, that's why you think Xiaolin is the most handsome, haha."
Liu Xiaolin was even more speechless. "Mom, I'm getting angry!"
"Alright, Mom won't tease you anymore. When are you planning to come back?" Hao Xiuhua said. "Xiao Man's college entrance exam is coming up soon, come back and encourage her if you have time."
"Mom, we're also planning to come home for a while soon, to see you, see Xiao Man, and also see Zhen Yexin, who is more handsome than me," Liu Xiaolin said.
"Okay, let me know in advance if you come back, I'll prepare delicious food for you," Hao Xiuhua said with a smile.
"Okay, then you rest early, I'll call you again when I have time," Liu Xiaolin said.
"Okay, you rest early too, Mom is hanging up," Hao Xiuhua said and hung up the phone.
After Liu Xiaolin finished talking on the phone with his Mom, he thought of the fine carving processing matter he discussed with Hong Youli at the dinner table, and quickly called Lai Junying again.
"General Manager Lai, tomorrow I need to take someone to Langfang Fine Carving for a visit. They have a batch of fine carving processing work and are looking for a processor," Liu Xiaolin said.
"Really? Is it a big job? That's great!" Lai Junying's voice grew louder with excitement. "Since our Langfang Fine Carving started cooperating with you, good things have been happening one after another recently."
"Yes, it's a big job. Tomorrow, let Sang Yiyun not attend the training, you can receive the client with him," Liu Xiaolin said.
"Is the client coming by himself or are you bringing him?" Lai Junying asked.
"I'm bringing him, he's not an outsider, he's Hong Tongtong's Dad," Liu Xiaolin felt there was no need to hide it.
"Oh oh, got it," Lai Junying thought to himself, things are indeed easier with connections.
"We will arrive at Langfang Fine Carving around nine tomorrow. You should be ready to receive us. Don't think he's an acquaintance so you can slack off. General Manager Hong is someone who doesn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He only looks at craftsmanship, not connections, and won't choose you because of the relationship," Liu Xiaolin said and hung up the phone.
"Don't worry, Sang Yiyun is a master of fine carving processing, there will definitely be no problem with him receiving them," Lai Junying had great confidence in Sang Yiyun.
"Okay, then that's it, I'm hanging up, see you tomorrow," Liu Xiaolin said and hung up the phone.
Hong Tongtong, who had been quietly listening to Liu Xiaolin's call, quickly said after he hung up, "Should I go to Langfang Fine Carving with you tomorrow?"
"Why would you go there instead of studying at home?" Liu Xiaolin asked, puzzled.
"I want to thank General Manager Lai properly. If it weren't for him, I don't know how much longer I would have been in a coma," Hong Tongtong said.
"Didn't you thank him several times that day? Why do you need to go thank him again?" Liu Xiaolin asked, puzzled.
"Tomorrow my Dad is going to talk to them about processing cooperation, right? If I thank him in front of my Dad, won't it give him a little more chance of success?" Hong Tongtong looked at Liu Xiaolin and said with a sly smile.
Liu Xiaolin suddenly understood. "You're planning to have your Dad return the favor? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it? You said yourself that Langfang Fine Carving's craftsmanship and technology are very strong, I'm just giving them a little push," Hong Tongtong said, raising her head.
"Alright, you have a point, but you'll be wasting another day of study time tomorrow," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile. "With you studying like this, on and off, can you still pass the graduate entrance exam?"
"Don't be afraid, I have a good foundation, just need to read a little, don't worry," Hong Tongtong said confidently.
"Got it, I know you're a little genius," Liu Xiaolin pulled Hong Tongtong into his arms and said affectionately.
"Bang bang bang," a knock on the door startled the two of them.
Hong Tongtong quickly stood up and opened the door. It was Tong Mingzhu who had come to bring fruit.
"I just washed some grapes and apples and brought you a plate," Tong Mingzhu said.
"Thank you, Mom, I could have gotten it myself," Hong Tongtong said, taking the fruit plate.
"I was afraid you'd forget while studying, so I brought it over," Tong Mingzhu said with a smile.
Liu Xiaolin knew that Auntie was indirectly urging Hong Tongtong to hurry up and study, and quickly said, "I will supervise her studying, Auntie, don't worry, I'll eat fruit while supervising her reading and studying."
Hong Tongtong rolled her eyes at Liu Xiaolin. "I can eat fruit while reading, I don't need you to supervise, hmph."
"Got it, I won't talk anymore, I'll focus on eating fruit, and you focus on reading and eating fruit, okay?" Liu Xiaolin said dotingly.
