Chapter 164 Chapter 163 Testing Water Quality

Mrs. Tong looked at Suming with bewilderment. "Has this child gone mad?" she muttered to herself as she walked away.

Even as night fell, Suming didn't feel any discomfort in his stomach. On the contrary, he was getting a bit hungry.

"This works?" Suming was a bit stunned this time. That was half a bucket of lake water with floating particles! Drinking it straight down and nothing happens? Even if it was just ordinary cold water, gulping down so much in one go would surely cause stomach pain!

To say nothing happened wasn't quite accurate either. Suming had been extremely excited all day, but when it came to sleep at night, he slept incredibly well. He had actually slept for just over four hours, waking up before dawn, yet feeling completely rejuvenated.

Could this be the legendary "drink during the day to avoid drowsiness, drink at night for a good sleep"?

"Mr. Zhao, I need a favor from you." Suming waited patiently until daylight and then called Zhao Yun.

"Tell me, is it about the fish? Looking at the time, they should be going to market soon. Bring me samples of all kinds of fish, and I'll help you market them," Zhao Yun asked with a yawn on the other end.

"The fish can wait a few days. I have a water sample here. Could you find an agency to test it for me? But it has to be confidential," Suming said.

"Okay, I'll send it to Switzerland for testing. Absolutely no one else will know," Zhao Yun said after some thought.

Suming had long been aware of Zhao Yun's influence; even if Zhao Yun had said he would send the samples to the moon for testing, Suming would have found it perfectly normal.

He now had to find out exactly what effectiveness the water infused by the Tai Sui had - and it had to be scientifically tested!

After the phone call with Zhao Yun, it wasn't long before Suming's phone rang again. It was Lin from Changping County.

"Boss, I'm on the road with those dogs. We should arrive at your zoo around noon," Lin said.

"Okay, call me when you get here, and I'll come to the entrance to meet you."

Regarding the Houshan Nature Reserve, the efficiency of both governments this time was quite remarkable. In just one week, all the necessary paperwork had been processed, and the sponsorship funds of 200,000 RMB from Jiangjin City had been secured. Speaking of 200,000 RMB, Suming had to complain a bit. Although it was a symbolic sponsorship, wasn't it a bit too 'symbolic'? A provincial capital city reduced its troubles so much because of him, and all they coughed up was 200,000 RMB?

There wasn't much that Suming could do about such shameless behavior, given the government officials' higher status. After all, 200,000 RMB was better than nothing. Besides, the money wouldn't end up in his pocket anyway; he was just the person in charge.

Checking the time, it was only half past eight. Suming didn't feel like sleeping anymore. He got up, reached under the bed for an empty mineral water bottle, filled it with water from Shuixie Lake that had been infused by the Tai Sui, and then drove to Zhao Yun's house with Su Meng.

As he arrived at the gates of Zhao Yun's villa, he saw Zhaoqian walking out with Chengcheng, who was carrying a large backpack with a bear pattern on it. Zhaoqian was crouching down to tie her shoelaces.

"Chengcheng, why are you pouting so much? Planning to hang a soy sauce bottle from it?" Suming approached with a hearty laugh.

Zhaoqian turned her head and was startled by the tall Su Meng before saying, "Oh, it's you, Su. I'm taking Chengcheng to ballet class."

"I! DON'T! WANT! TO! GO! MY! FEET! HURT! A! LOT!" Chengcheng enunciated every word loudly and then, holding on to Suming, she pleaded pitifully, "Big brother, can you take me out to play, please..."

Zhaoqian hurriedly gave Suming a covert look, signaling him with her eyes. Suming ruffled Chengcheng's hair and sternly warned her, "No way, little girls who don't do ballet won't grow tall!"

"Really?" Chengcheng looked at Suming skeptically.

"Uh... haha, hehe, Mrs. Zhao, please explain to Chengcheng. I'll go inside first..." Experience tales with empire

After saying that, he hurriedly took Suming and squeezed sideways through the villa's gate. If Chengcheng were his own child, it wouldn't matter if she didn't jump, and ballet wouldn't necessarily amount to much in the future anyway. But now, no parent wants their child to lose at the starting line, and Zhaoqian kept giving him meaningful looks. As an outsider, it wasn't good to debunk a child's mother in front of her, and as for why not doing ballet would stunt her growth, let Zhaoqian worry about that.

It's funny to say, but with a father like Zhao Yun, Chengcheng was born way ahead of the starting line. It's like running a 100 meter dash where everyone starts at the starting point, but Chengcheng starts at the 50 meter mark. Yet that's still not enough; they want to push her to the 90 meter mark.

I guess all parents are like that, one can't understand their feelings without being a parent themselves.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Yun sitting in the living room on the first floor, wearing pajamas and eating breakfast, with many cute little bears printed on the pajamas.

"Mr. Zhao, does your family belong to the bear clan?" Suming grinned and laughed.

"There is no bear clan in the whole country," Zhao Yun looked down at his pajamas, also laughed, and said, "My child's mother bought them. You know women, they never really grow up." Then he pointed to the various dishes on the table and said, "That must be your cousin, right? He looks quite robust! Have you two had breakfast yet? If not, join in, let's eat first and then talk."

"Oh." Suming went to the kitchen on his own, grabbed two pairs of chopsticks, and with Su Meng, sat down at the dining table.

It turned out to be a bit of a tragedy, Su Meng had a huge appetite and didn't know what being polite was; he ate so voraciously that soon there was hardly anything left on the table. Luckily, Zhao Yun had eaten early, otherwise he might have gone hungry.

While eating, Zhao Yun kept staring at Su Meng's face and asked Suming curiously, "I haven't seen him before, have I? Why does he look so familiar?"

"Probably not, but now that you mention it, he does seem familiar," said Suming casually.

That statement was a stretch of the imagination, but fortunately, Zhao Yun didn't pay much attention and offhandedly said, "Nonsense, if he's your own cousin, how can you not find him familiar?!"

"Could this be what they call a 'generic face'? Familiar to everyone who sees it?" Suming wondered aloud.

"You might as well say it's a connection from a past life," Zhao Yun was sometimes nonsensical, and after rambling a bit, he asked, "What about the water sample you mentioned? Show it to me."

"Oh, oh!" Suming stuffed half a tea egg into his mouth and casually took out a crumpled mineral water bottle from his bag and placed it on the table.

Seeing the crumpled mineral water bottle, Zhao Yun's mouth twitched uncontrollably, "Is this what you used to hold it?"

"I'm testing the water inside, not the bottle," Suming replied.

Zhao Yun shrugged, grabbed the bottle, unscrewed the lid, and smelled it, "It smells quite nice. Any problems with it?"

"Nothing too serious, it just seems a bit different from normal water," Suming answered.

Zhao Yun didn't ask where Suming got the water; he just nodded, "Alright, I'll get it tested as soon as possible. Ten days at the soonest, a half month at the most; I'll let you know when I get the results."

"Alright, I have something to do at noon, so I'll head back," Suming stood up and walked towards the exit, casually pocketing the last tea egg on the table, "I'll take one of your tea eggs."

"Don't you have any pride, swiping tea eggs?" Zhao Yun said, exasperated.

"This stuff is precious. Ordinary folks can't afford it; I only get to enjoy these when I visit you..."
