Chapter 1324: Dong Xuebing is leaving

Evening.

The sky turned dark.

Dong Xuebing was humming a song in Zhong Lizhens kitchen. He had forgotten what he read earlier and was preparing dinner happily.

Wash the vegetables

Cutting the ingredients

Cooking

Dong Xuebing was in a good mood because of the research center.

That is the Chinese Academy of Sciences research center, and it is under the central academy. Even the Provincial Academy of Sciences cannot interfere with it. Although Zhong Lizhen did not tell him what the research was about, she was put in charge of it. The country had paid a heavy price to bring her back and appointed her as a General and Academician. Dong Xuebing heard the Central Government's top leaders also met her. How can her research projects be minor? It will be a critical project. It will be an outstanding political achievement if it is built in Zhen Shui County.

It would be great if I could get it.

I must fight for it.

Dong Xuebing had a plan in mind. He thought about it while cooking. He needs political achievement badly.

Dong Xuebing was transferred to Zhen Shui County for around two months. But he only worked for a month and was injured the rest of the time. How can he transfer back before Xie Huilan gives birth? She is due in a few months, and he has no time to waste. He thought of getting promoted and transferring back. He has gotten a 50 million RMB fund from the Finance Ministry for his county, but that was not enough. He was a Deputy Division Chief at a young age, and he needs outstanding results to move up. Although he has connections, he needs results for them to promote him.

This research center is critical.

Most of the funds he had gotten from the Central Government were untouched. If he can use it to get results and get the research center to be built in Zhen Shui County, he can move up.

Dong Xuebing was only thinking about getting a promotion.

Why are you so happy? Zhong Lizhen asked.

Dong Xuebing stopped and looked at the entrance. Huh? Nothing.

Zhong Lizhen was standing at the kitchens entrance. The food is getting burnt. Turn down the heat.

Dong Xuebing quickly turns down the heat. I was thinking and did not notice. Err the food is not burnt. It should taste good.

Zhong Lizhen looked at him. Is it about the research centers location?

No I am thinking about my flight tomorrow. Dong Xuebing lied. I almost forgot about it. I need to confirm the time later.

Zhong Lizhen asked. How many days have you been back?

For almost two weeks. Theres lots of work in my county, and I must return. Dong Xuebing turned off the stove and plated the food. All right. Dinner is ready. Lets eat.

Zhong Lizhen walked over. I will get the rice.

No let me do it. You need rest. Dong Xuebing did not let her do anything.

Dong Xuebing is caring towards others. He made Zhong Lizhen sit at the dining table and went to get the food. He sat opposite her in the living room full of machines to have dinner.

Dong Xuebing asked. How is the taste?

Zhong Lizhen took a bite. Not bad.

Good. Dong Xuebing took out a few boxes of medicine from his pocket and placed them on the table. Take the flu medicine after dinner. Theres anti-inflammation medicine here. Take it if your throat hurts. I am afraid I might forget later, and I am telling you now.

Zhong Lizhen ate her rice. I had lived 40 years. I know how to take care of myself.

Fine fine fine Just treat it as if I did not say anything. Dong Xuebing did not argue with her.

Zhong Lizhen said. You can leave after dinner. Its late, and you have a flight to catch tomorrow. I am fine alone.

Dong Xuebing thought for a while. Ok. Take care of yourself. I know you will be in front of the PC after I leave. Anyway, you need more rest.

Zhong Lizhen looked at him. I heard you know Chinese medicine, Chinese traditional massage.

Did my Mum tell you? Err I know a little. Are you feeling unwell?

I got a fever. Are there any acupuncture points that can treat fever? Zhong Lizhen said. I did not do any work this afternoon and might have to work throughout the night. Help me if you can. I got lots of work recently, and I cannot collapse.

Err

You cannot treat me?

Not really Ok. I will try.

Zhong Lizhen and Dong Xuebing went to the bedroom after dinner.

There are many acupuncture points to treat flu and fever. However, most treatments combine Western and Eastern medicine because acupuncture effects are slower. Zhong Lizhen ate the flu medicine, and Dong Xuebing looked at her white gown. You need to remove your gown for me to find your acupuncture points.

Zhong Lizhen took off her gown.

Dong Xuebing reached over and pressed on Zhong Lizhens C7 gently. He massaged for a while and moved on to other acupuncture points.

Zhong Lizhens bra strap was not visible from her back. But her blue bra became visible after he pressed against her back. He looked at it for a while and felt her soft body under her blouse.

It feels good

Dong Xuebing massaged Zhong Lizhen for over an hour.

Dong Xuebing was afraid Zhong Lizhens sickness might worsen and used REVERSE on her secretly.

All right. How do you feel now?

Ah I feel much better. I think my fever is gone.

She retook her temperature. 36.6 degree Celsius.

You do know how to treat fever. Fantastic. Zhong Lizhen looked at Dong Xuebing and straightened her clothes. Thank you for cooking and cleaning up.

Dont mention it. We are a family.

Ok. Go back early.

Sure. Mum asked me to pass you the car keys. I left it on the table.

Let me walk you out.

Dont come out. Its cold.

Ok. I will call you again for the research centers location.
