Chapter 216: Raising a Child is Not Like This
After talking to Luohan again, the day broke and he held an online meeting with Xu Che and others for nearly three hours.
Afterwards, he spoke to Xu Che alone about Luo Sheng's matter: "How's the evidence collection going?"
"It's all collected. I don't know if this guy is smart or stupid. You say he's stupid, but for those academic frauds, he knew to find people to do it for him in stages, and he would do a stage himself. Half of the people he found didn't know that his results had been stolen. Even if they saw the journal publication, they just thought it was because of their lack of ability and they only did a part of it. The part they did just happened to coincide with Luo Sheng's success process, and they didn't think about investigating it in depth. But if you say he's smart, he didn't hide the process of "discussing" with these people at all. I found a thread, and with a light pull, hey, all came out, not a single one was left. I tell you, this is the most unfulfilling thing I've done in my career." Xu Che complained a lot when he mentioned Luo Sheng.
"He was a fool to begin with. Xia Xia is kind, but I'm a vindictive person. I can't let him off like this."
"How should we handle this? Report it directly? Fight back like he did to our wife!"
"No need. Jinghai University is investigating him. They are all educators, trained to cultivate talent for the country. How can we let them waste their precious time on such scum? Just give them what you find out. They will handle it themselves."
"clear."
"Also, after the school reports this to law enforcement, you should go and inform them. This deliberate attempt to smear and slander our country's outstanding scientific researchers—does he have a deeper hidden agenda? Is he targeting Professor Xia personally, or does he intend to undermine the development of our country's scientific research? We should be cautious in matters like this."
Xu Che said with a smile: "Then he is really finished this time. Don't even think about coming out again in this life."
"I'm going to the recording studio tomorrow morning, and then I'll go to the company after I'm done. You can make some arrangements, and I'll have a meeting."
"The first day of work?" Xu Che asked.
"What? Don't want to work?"
"Who wants to work? But what I want to say is, ever since everyone found out you're the mysterious boss, they've been going crazy. They've been clamoring for the boss's wedding candy these past couple of days. Are you coming here quietly this time?"
"How can I make such a big fuss when I go to work?"
"Okay, I see."
"Go order some candies and chocolates and distribute them along with the red envelopes on the first day of work."
"Okay! What's the budget?"
"The money for the candy and chocolate comes from my personal account, there's no limit."
"This isn't wedding candy, it's a start-of-work bonus. My wedding hasn't happened yet. I'll give it to you when the wedding happens."
"Hey, then I'll send it again when you get married."
"What nonsense! How can wedding candies be given out twice? How unlucky!" Fu Xiuyan said angrily.
A young man, blinded by love, begins to care about something intangible. Xu Che thought to himself. He quickly apologized, saying, "As long as there's something to eat, who cares what kind of candy it is?"
Xia Yang, suffering from jet lag, simply stayed in bed for a whole day and night. The next day, when Luo Han came to pick them up at home for the recording, Xia Yang was finally pulled out of bed by Fu Xiuyan.
In the living room, Xiao Wang and Le An turned on the TV and picked up a program to watch.
Luohan kicked Xiao Wang and said, "We're leaving soon. What are you two watching on TV?"
Le An glanced at Luohan indifferently, sat down cross-legged, skillfully took out a bag of snacks from the coffee table, gave half to Xiao Wang, and started watching TV.
"Brother, wait a moment. The young master has trouble getting up. The gentleman will have to coax him for a long time before he can wake him up completely."
Luohan rarely personally followed his family's itinerary, so this was the first time he'd heard about such details. He glanced at his watch, seeing he still had plenty of time. He sat down and reached for the snacks on the coffee table.
Although Le An's eyes were fixed on the TV, his hand moved away a second before Luo Han touched the snack. Luo Han grabbed a handful of air and glanced at Le An in disbelief.
Then he looked at Xiao Wang with a pleading look, but Xiao Wang just wanted to laugh at him and ignored his request for help.
"No, hero. When did I ever make you angry?"
Le An acted as if he didn't hear anything and focused on watching the variety show.
Luo Han's eyes rolled. "This female idol looks delicate and weak, but that's just a facade. She's not like that in real life. And that guy already has a girlfriend, someone in the industry. And that one, his child is already in kindergarten..."
Le An's eyes lit up as he listened. He used to dislike all this gossip, and when Xiao Wang pulled him aside to ramble on, he'd become quite impatient. But after spending a few days abroad with Xia Yang's grandmother, the old lady, now obsessed with entertainment and celebrity, loved to tell him all sorts of gossip. He, too, had tasted it. Now, his spirits were high.
Soon, Luohan had all of Le'an's snacks. For a while afterward, Le'an spent half his time watching TV and half listening to Luohan's "educational" lectures. This Grandma Xia Yang was so different from the internet gossip he'd been talking about. Le'an seemed to be glimpsing a world beyond his comprehension.
Fu Xiuyan coaxed Xia Yang softly by her bedside, barely managing to wake her. Then, he carried the reluctant little ancestor to wash up. He brushed her teeth, washed her face, blew her hair, and changed her clothes. Xia Yang squinted her eyes the entire time, not moving a finger. Fu Xiuyan took care of her, doing everything for her.
He finally regained his spirits when he came downstairs. Fu Xiuyan took him to the dining room, coaxed him, and fed him breakfast. Only then did he slowly get into the nanny car.
Luohan already knew that Fu Xiuyan doted on Xia Yang, but he still couldn't help but say: Other people don't raise their children like this.
