Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tan Ron’s college entrance examination results were out a few days later. Just as she said, the teacher would not deliberately deduct her marks. Therefore, she became the first student in her school’s history to score full marks in the college entrance examination. She was also one of the few students in the country who scored full marks.
Although she didn’t go to school, banners celebrating her perfect score were hung all over the school. Even the city center’s largest electronic display screen showed Tan Ron’s photo and results.
The Tao family was overjoyed. Everyone gave her a red packet, much more than the New Year’s gift money. This time, her younger brother also found a reason to give her a red packet. Although the money was not much, he didn’t want to fall behind.
The Tao family even tried their best to celebrate with Tan Ron. They either gave her things or took her out for dinner. If it weren’t for the fact that the acceptance letter hadn’t been sent yet, they would probably have held a three-day banquet to celebrate.
Not only did the Tao family celebrate for her, but the strangers outside also let her live peacefully.
Since her results came out, people kept calling or sending messages to congratulate her. Some of them knew her, while others didn’t. Tan Rou didn’t want to answer the phone, so whenever someone called or sent her a message, she would blacklist them.
In such an era, finding a person’s contact information was too easy. Moreover, Tan Rou was already very famous. People kept calling her to ask if she wanted to endorse their products. Some people even wanted to give her a car or a house. Tan Rou blocked more than 20 people who wanted her to shoot advertisements in a day.
To get rid of her worries, Tan Rou decided to work in the laboratory for half a month and rest for half a month. She promised Zhuang Liu that she would develop the antidote within two months. Now was a good opportunity to do so.
During dinner, Tan Rou told everyone she would shut herself in the laboratory. She also said that she would not use her phone for the next half a month or reply to anyone’s messages. She hoped that everyone could be mentally prepared.
“Why is it so sudden?” Grandma Tao didn’t want Tan Rou to enter the laboratory. She hadn’t had a good talk with her granddaughter yet. “Come back to the laboratory in a few days. Grandma will bring you around.”
Tan Rou thanked Grandma Tao for her kindness. “Grandma, I have a very important experiment to do. I can’t delay any longer.”
Hearing that Tan Rou had an important experiment to do, Grandma Tao didn’t insist that Tan Rou stay outside. “Then go and do your experiment. I’ll take you out to play when you’re done.”
Grandpa Tao said, “You’re already so old. How are you going to bring your granddaughter out to play? It’s better not to drag her down.” Although he did not say it nicely, he also thought about Grandma Tao. Grandma Tao was afraid of heat and fatigue. She might get a heatstroke if she went out to play this season.
Grandma Tao glared at him and said unhappily, “I’ve recuperated now. I can go out and have some fun too. You’re the only one who stops me from going out every day.”
Tan Rou smiled. Her grandparents had such a good relationship. Although they were always bickering, they truly loved each other. Only when they loved each other would they always care for each other. When they were old, they cherished this relationship even more.
Tan Rou had received many calls over the past few days. Even if she didn’t answer the phone, there would be calls to annoy her. Mother Tao noted it and suggested that Tan Ron’s phone be left with her. She would answer Tan Ron’s phone. However, Tan Rou still had her own social circle. If her friends sent her messages, it was very likely that she wouldn’t receive them.
“Xiao Rou, it’s good to go to the laboratory for a period of time, but you have to eat on time. Also, if you have any needs, you have to tell Mom. I will prepare them for you.” Mrs. Tao wanted to be her daughter’s shield.
Everything in Tan Ron’s laboratory had been prepared. There was nothing she needed, but there was no kitchen at the laboratory where she could cook. Someone had to send food daily, so she left this matter to Mrs. Tao to prepare.
“Thank you, Mom.” Tan Rou said with a smile.
Everyone in the Tao family knew that Tan Rou was very capable and that she had suffered in the past. Therefore, they never talked about the past in front of Tan Rou. They only did their best to fulfill Tan Ron’s requests when she needed them.
Her laboratory was built in Yuanxi Manor. Since the entire manor belonged to her, her new laboratory was huge and had all the necessary equipments..
