Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 392 - The Tea Room



Chapter 392 – The Tea Room

When the old leader heard this, he immediately perked up. He changed from his previous amiable appearance and asked seriously, “Are you sure? You know the consequences of lying to me, right? You can’t joke about things related to the people. I think you know the weight of this sentence, right?”

“Of course I do.”

Lu Ming said seriously, “I have to inform you about this. I can also take protective measures in time so that I won’t be caught off guard.”

Protective measures?

The old leader frowned. He did not think that his good friend, such a smart genius, would do anything reckless. Then there was only one last possibility left. He really had something important to say! Even though they were all people he trusted, there was no guarantee that it would not leak out. What if there was a chance?

Hence, after pondering for a moment, he stood up and said, “Then follow me to the tearoom. It has a soundproofing installation. It’s also the safest place in the courtyard.”

The safest place was equivalent to having the most manpower. He didn’t expect it to be a tea room. He thought that someone like the old leader would choose the bedroom. But on second thought, it seemed normal. After all… Lu Ming glanced at Tang Mingkun, who was beside him now. He was his godfather’s friend.

As the name suggested, the tea room was the room where tea parties were held. Therefore, the moment he entered, everywhere he looked was filled with tea sets. There were many precious tea leaves on the wooden shelf on the left. As many people had sent him tea leaves, he could still recognize a few of them, such as the Anxi Iron Guanyin, the Song Zhong No. 1, the Hou Kui, the Gong Cha… even Da Hong Pao!

These tea sets were all cheap goods that could be bought on the market, but they looked quite good. It could be seen that the owner had chosen them carefully. He thought that these should be bought by the old leader himself. Some of the tea leaves must have been gifts. His life was really simple and modest.

He had just sat down on the meditation cushion and had not warmed up when the old leader personally poured tea and placed it in front of them. Immediately, the fragrance of tea filled the room, making one wish they could take a few more breaths of air. Meanwhile, Tang Mingkun’s good friend said with a smile, “I haven’t let anyone in for a long time. How about you try it? This is one of the best tea leaves I think!”

Since he had already said so, how could Lu Ming refuse?

After he took a sip, a sweet taste suddenly surged in his mouth. This was magical! A trace of light quickly flashed in his eyes. “It tastes very good! As expected of the tea leaves you like. You’re really lucky to drink this every day!

If I’m not wrong, this should be Gong Cha, right? It’s slightly astringent in the mouth, and the aftertaste is fragrant. Overall, it’s refreshing and mellow! You’re quite generous. I just brought Little Ming here for the second time, and you took out this Gong Cha. I remember that you treasured it very much previously.”

Tang Mingkun had drunk tea for most of his life, so he could naturally tell the quality and variety the moment it entered his mouth. As he spoke, he took a few more sips, and his tone was a little teasing. Previously, when he mentioned the tea leaves to his good friend, the other party always found an excuse to avoid the topic.

He was only able to drink Gong Cha today because of his godson!

The old leader said righteously, “The key is that I only have these few tea leaves. Don’t forget that in the past, in order to drink it, you snatched away a third of it the moment someone gave it to me. You still have the cheek to act pitiful with me? It’s obvious that you drank it too quickly, yet you still blame me for being petty! Tea leaves are meant to be tasted slowly!”

“Sometimes I do drink slowly, but this tea tastes so good that I couldn’t help but make more!”

As a result, when he asked the old leader for more tea leaves later on, he found out that very little of this kind of Gong Cha was produced each year. It had taken the old leader a long time to accumulate just this bag of leaves alone. If he wanted it, he would have to wait for several years because someone had already reserved some!

Lu Ming looked at the two old men bickering and couldn’t help but chuckle. “You two are really close.”

At this moment, they finally noticed that the young man was still around. The old leader had seen all kinds of occasions. Hence, he said shamelessly, “If possible, I would like to find a friend with a better temper, but I think Old Tang will be like this for the rest of his life.”

He paused and deliberately ignored Tang Mingkun’s retort. He asked, “Let’s get back to the topic. What do you want to tell me? It’s getting late. If we delay any longer, I’ll want to make you stay here overnight! However, Little Ming should still be in a hurry to go home and see his wife, right?”

The last sentence made Lu Ming’s face turn red. The two old men opposite him looked at each other and smiled. Tang Mingkun said casually, “Look, our great genius only becomes so shy when facing his wife, right? Hahahaha!”

“Godfather!”

Lu Ming could not stand these two childish old fellows anymore. He quickly brought the topic back and said, “There’s been an epidemic recently. According to the investigation, it’s a new model and has a wide range of transmission. Currently, no company in the world has manufactured preventive drugs, so I think we should be prepared to receive it in advance.”

No prophylaxis!?

The old leader’s expression instantly turned solemn. This news was indeed very important to him. If Lu Ming hadn’t told him first, it would probably take some effort to restore normalcy for the citizens! He pursed his lips tightly and inadvertently exuded a dignified aura.

“In other words, is this epidemic quite tricky? It seems that I have to get the officials to prepare in advance. It would be even better if we can start researching as soon as possible! By the way, if I remember correctly, Lu Ming Corporation seems to have opened a hospital, right? How is it? Have you found anything? Or have you tracked down the source?”

Lu Ming shook his head. “Although This Place Hospital has already cooperated with the United States’ Pfizer and obtained a sample of the virus, we haven’t been able to figure it out yet. We’ve been looking for a breakthrough all this time. But there’s too little relevant information. We have to experiment based on our surmises, one by one. I think it will be a long time before we can create a preventive medicine.”

While waiting, no one could guarantee that the virus would not spread faster! There were too many variables, so he could only ask the researchers to suppress the situation as much as possible! Otherwise, China would probably face the tragic death of tens of thousands of people! Just thinking about this fact gave them goosebumps.
