Chapter 226: The Rumor That Chu Luo Didn’t Go to Military Training
In the next few days, Chu Luo went to the hospital and didn’t see Sun Tianhao again.
She didn’t mind. She had already said what she needed to say anyway. As for what he thought, she didn’t care.
Three days later, Li Yan told Chu Luo, “The laboratory has been renovated. The batch of medical equipment and herbs you wanted has also been sent over.”
Chu Luo told Professor Tang about this.
Professor Tang then informed Elder Hu and Cao Dongliang.
The four of them discussed and went over the next day.
When Chu Luo and the others went over, it was already September 27.
Chu Luo, Professor Tang, Elder Hu, and Cao Dongliang met in the villa.
The first thing Cao Dongliang said was, “As expected of a property under the Blazing Glory Corporation. There’s no doubt about the environment and security of this villa area. When the time comes, we’ll do our research here and not have to worry about being disturbed.”
A person-in-charge waiting for them here smiled and replied, “In the future, you can stay here directly.”
She pointed at a villa in front. “That villa is for you.”
She then pointed at the villa behind. “That is where you guys will carry out your research.”
Not only were Professor Tang and Cao Dongliang surprised, but even Elder Hu was surprised.
Elder Hu said, “The CEO of the Blazing Glory Corporation is indeed generous… Let’s go and take a look at the instruments and equipment.”
Everyone walked towards the villa at the back.
The villa was a two-story building. It wasn’t tall, but it was especially big.
The outside was surrounded by a wall with a protective net installed on it. There were trees taller than the courtyard wall in a circle near the courtyard, but the courtyard was empty.
Chu Luo told the three of them, “I plan to plant herbs in the courtyard. When the time comes, I don’t need to wait for the herbs to be purchased and delivered before continuing.”
Elder Hu agreed with Chu Luo’s arrangement. “Little Chu, that’s a good idea.”
Everyone walked into the villa again.
The rooms in the villa on the first floor had all been opened up and divided into several research rooms using special gla.s.s. Chu Luo had only seen the medical equipment inside in books. Everyone took a look from front to back.
Elder Hu’s wrinkled face was already slightly red from excitement. He immediately decided. “I’ll go back and pack my luggage and move in today. I can grow herbs with Little Chu.”
Cao Dongliang also said excitedly, “I thought that our hospital’s medical equipment was already advanced enough. I didn’t expect CEO Li to actually get someone to buy back so many advanced equipment that even the country can’t buy.”
After saying that, he became restless. “Continue looking. I’ll go take a look at that instrument first.”
After saying that, he strode to the door, pushed it open, and walked in.
Chu Luo and the others looked at Cao Dongliang, who quickly ran to the instrument and seemed to be looking at his lover. They couldn’t help but smile.
The three of them continued to walk to the other rooms. Professor Tang said, “I’ve already submitted an application to the school. I won’t be taking in any students this semester. I only have two public lectures every week. The hospital has also informed us that unless the others in the hospital can’t handle it, I won’t have to go.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Cao Dongliang and said, “Old Cao too. He also applied to the hospital and said that he wants to study for a period of time. He wants to push away all his work for the next half of the year.”
“Haha, looks like Little Cao is like me, interested in studying drugs that stimulate the cerebral nerves.”
“If our research really succeeds, our empire’s medical research will take a huge step forward. We won’t have to put up with the att.i.tudes of some countries anymore.”
“Right!”
Chu Luo looked at the two of them and felt a little excited.
Cao Dongliang came out after half an hour. He told them that he would move over as soon as possible.
Chu Luo nodded. “This place is very safe and quiet. It’s indeed a very good research venue.”
After they finished looking around, they sat in the resting area outside and discussed the upcoming research.
It was almost noon before Chu Luo took Professor Tang’s car back to Imperial University.
On the way back, Professor Tang asked Chu Luo, “Little Chu, the people from the military training are coming back tomorrow. According to tradition, the school should have a freshman mobilization meeting. Did the school inform you to go up and talk?”
Chu Luo shook her head. “I’ve been switching off my phone during the day. No one from the school came to inform me.”
Professor Tang nodded and said, “The school probably thought that you had worked hard recently, so they aren’t asking you to give a speech.”
Chu Luo didn’t mind.
Professor Tang sent Chu Luo to the technology building.
At this moment, many students were entering and exiting the technology building.
Chu Luo put on a mask and got out of the car. After saying goodbye to Professor Tang, she closed the car door and walked over.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to walk into the special pa.s.sage, she saw Tang Zhiyun and Xie Minghai.
The two of them were talking as they walked. Xie Minghai looked furious. As he spoke, he waved a fist into the air. Tang Zhiyun pursed his lips, looking very angry.
Chu Luo thought for a while but didn’t walk over. She turned around and walked towards the special pa.s.sageway.
After entering the special room where the gaming capsule was stored, she saw that a few technicians were standing around the gaming capsule, discussing a set of data.
Professor Wu had a cla.s.s this morning and hadn’t arrived.
When Chu Luo walked over, everyone smiled and greeted her.
Jos.h.i.+n walked to Chu Luo’s side and said to her, “Chu, the freshmen from your school are coming back tomorrow. Are you going out too?”
Someone standing beside them smiled and said, “Chu has been with us, this group of technological geeks, for almost a month. She must go and interact with her cla.s.smates.”
Another person said, “But Chu is so beautiful. Won’t many young men pursue her?”
Jos.h.i.+n winked at Chu Luo and said, “Chu has an escort. If someone really pursues her, her boyfriend will definitely be jealous.”
“Jos.h.i.+n, from the sounds of it, you have seen Chu’s boyfriend?”
“Yeah. I saw Chu’s boyfriend last time when I sent Chu the information materials.”
“Chu is so beautiful. I’m really curious what her boyfriend looks like.”
“He must be worthy of Chu.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she didn’t reply and only pursed her lips and smiled.
At five in the afternoon, Professor Wu suddenly said to her, “Little Chu, leave early today. You don’t have to come here often. Your current mission is to research and focus on developing that kind of medicine.”
Chu Luo nodded at him, packed her things, and walked out.
Unexpectedly, when she walked out of the special pa.s.sage, Tang Zhiyun and the others were waiting for her by a flower bed opposite.
The four of them grinned when they saw her come out.
“Junior, welcome back from the den of technological geeks.”
Chu Luo couldn’t help but smile when she heard this.
The bunch of them walked towards the school path.
Chu Luo asked, “Why are you guys here?”
Xie Minghai said, “We’re here to pick you up.”
Tang Zhiyun said, “The freshmen are supposed to come back tomorrow. Mingtao called at noon and told us that they will be back tonight and should be arriving at the school soon. Uncle w.a.n.g just called to invite us to his house for dinner tonight. He is already waiting for us outside the school gate. We’re meeting up with Mingtao now.”
Xie Minghai added, “Coincidentally, we met Professor Tang today and talked to him.”
Chu Luo nodded in understanding.
The five of them walked to the parking spot and swiped their cards. Each of them pushed out a bike and rode towards the school gate.
When the people from the other grades saw the five of them, many people stopped.
After the five of them rode over.
Everyone started pointing at Chu Luo’s back and discussed.
“Look, is that Chu Luo?”
“Definitely. Other than with Chu Luo, when have the four swordsmen of the computer science department ever walked with other girls?”
“In the history of Imperial University, she’s the first person to not attend military training, right?”
“That’s right. There are so many students from n.o.ble families in our school, and those people are no exception. How capable is she to not partic.i.p.ate in the military training?”
“In that case, the rumors are true. Chu Luo didn’t attend the military training because someone with an especially high status asked the school to open a back door for her.”
“Previously, when I saw the video of Chu Luo talking at Ocean City High School, I thought that she was quite good. Moreover, her results were so good. If she worked hard at Imperial University, she would definitely be an extraordinary person in the future… Sigh~ Why is she so unwise?”
“What do you call this? She obviously can rely on her ability to earn a living, but she took the shortcut and relied on beauty to get special treatment?”
“My younger sister in Grade 11 still likes her so much. I don’t even dare to mention her to my sister again.”
“How disappointing. There’s something wrong with the way this person conducts herself. To think that Ocean City’s Education Channel promotes her so much. Also, Imperial University even gave her such privilege. I feel like Imperial University has been cheated.”
“If those rumors are true, I think Imperial University will definitely express their stance.”
“Isn’t there a freshman mobilization meeting tomorrow? We’ll see if she’d go on stage to speak.”
“If she doesn’t go on stage to speak, it must mean that the school already knows about her.”
“Let’s see how she will react when her matter is exposed!”
…
The farther out they biked, the more people they pa.s.sed by. Chu Luo finally felt that the atmosphere today was a little off.
She didn’t ask Tang Zhiyun and the others about it. Instead, she spread her five senses and listened to the voices pointing at her.
Soon, she found the reason.
When they arrived at the school gate, Chu Luo asked Tang Zhiyun and the others, “Are there rumors about me in school?”
Tang Zhiyun and the other three looked at each other. Xie Minghai said with a laugh, “Junior, don’t make wild guesses. Everyone in school is talking about whether you became tanned or not, and whether you will look good after you are tanned.”
Chu Luo looked into Xie Minghai’s eyes, and he suddenly felt a little sheepish.
He tilted his head and winked at Tang Zhiyun.
Tang Zhiyun said, “Junior, let’s go out and meet Uncle w.a.n.g first. Mingtao might have already pa.s.sed.”
The military training buses were driving towards the school one after another.
Chu Luo thought for a moment and nodded.
The five of them walked out of the school.
