Chapter 98: Delivering Fish to the Doorstep

  "World-renowned?" Xiao Ping said somewhat dazedly: "Lao Pi, you're not joking, are you?"

  "I'm not a Puy..." the Frenchman weakly protested, before turning serious: "Of course this isn't a joke. Many restaurants and chefs have been featured in Ramsay's magazine and instantly made a name for themselves globally. It looks like you're about to do the same!"

  "Haha, don't say that, I'm not interested in being world-renowned or anything, I want to keep a low profile, a low profile!" Xiao Ping responded with a big laugh to Pierre.

  But although Xiao Ping repeatedly said he wanted to keep a low profile, his expression looked smug and self-satisfied, causing the French to curl their lips in disdain and mutter "hypocrite".

  This auction not only exceeded expectations, but also brought unexpected gains to Xiao Ping. If he could get on Ramsay's food magazine, it would undoubtedly be of great help in promoting the farm's reputation. Xiao Ping can already foresee that there will be more and more customers coming to the door in the future, and expanding the scale of the farm is imminent.

  Xiao Ping had only been in the provincial city for three days, but his total income from selling iron skin gourds and pine mushrooms had already exceeded 36 million. Having made a lot of money, he was also ready to spend some. Considering that the scale of the farm would be expanded later, the demand for spiritual liquid would definitely increase greatly. Xiao Ping decided to spend all this money at the largest jade stone store in the provincial city - Wei Xiaozhai, to help the demon pot continue to evolve.

  However, before going to Wei Xiao Zhai, Xiao Ping still had to go to Nan Da first. During the New Year, he promised Song Tianming that he would give him a few knife fish seedlings, and it was just an opportunity to get this done.

  Song Tianming was delighted to receive Xiao Ping's phone call and personally went to the entrance of the teaching building to wait for him. After Xiao Ping handed over the plastic water tank containing fish seedlings, this university professor was like a child who had just received a new toy, laughing with joy, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

  Song Tianming treasured these few knife fish seedlings, and didn't even dare to let Xiao Ping touch the water tank again. He personally carried the water tank, laughing happily as he ran back to the laboratory. At this time, Song Tianming had completely ignored Xiao Ping. After returning to the lab, he loudly called for students to help him carefully put the seedlings into a fish tank that had been prepared long ago. Then, he squatted in front of the fish tank, deeply gazing at these seedlings, and didn't leave for a very long time.

  Seeing Song Tianming so excited, Xiao Ping couldn't help but feel a little amused and secretly thought to himself: "He's already so thrilled just seeing these few fish fry, if he knew my fish pond had several hundred more, how excited would he be?"

  Xiao Ping thinks that judging from Song Tianming's current reaction, he might get overexcited and end up in the hospital after knowing the truth. Considering Professor Song's health, Xiao Ping feels at ease hiding the news of successfully breeding knife fish from him.

  Song Tianming looked for a long time before turning around to find Xiao Ping still there, and immediately asked in surprise: "What are you still doing here?"

  Xiao Ping was speechless in the face of Song Tianming's question. Thinking back to what Song Le had done before, he could only lament in his heart: "It seems that burning bridges after crossing is a tradition of the Song family! Little Chili Pepper is like this, and her elder cousin is also like this!"

  Seeing Xiao Ping's silent and speechless appearance, Song Tianming also felt that his previous words were a bit excessive. He hastily spoke with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, thank you so much for your strong support of our research. As soon as I received your call, I told Lele that you would be coming, she must be waiting anxiously, why don't you go find her quickly?"

  Xiao Ping finally understood Song Tianming's meaning, and his impression of him improved a bit. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Then I'll go first, Uncle Song, see you later!"

  He didn't mind at all that Xiao Ping called him uncle, Song Tianming just smiled and said: "Go quickly, Lele is an impatient person, don't let her wait too long."

  Xiao Ping walked out of the teaching building quickly and immediately dialed Song Lei's phone, asking: "Where are you? I'm at Nan Da right now, I'll go find you!"

  Actually, Song Lei was very happy to receive Xiao Ping's phone call, but she deliberately asked him: "Why didn't you call me before coming to Nan Da? And why did Uncle have to tell me about this? Are you unwilling to see me?"

  "What's going on?" Xiao Ping hastily called Qu: "I was trying to surprise you, but I didn't expect your aunt to be so quick-mouthed and tell you first."

  Song Lei was still relatively satisfied with this answer, but she still asked relentlessly: "Then why did you make me wait so long? Others have been waiting for you for almost half an hour!"

  Does Xiao La Jiao know that he is being played with? Xiang Ping didn't think it was a big deal, but said very grievously: "This can't be blamed on me! Professor Song, you're not unaware of him, seeing the knife fish seedlings and getting excited like crazy, grabbing me to ask this and that, I couldn't just ignore him, who made him our elder brother?!

  Xiao Ping shifted all the blame onto Song Tianming, while secretly thinking to himself: "Professor Song, I've also helped you out a lot this time. You can take care of this black pot now."

  Xiao Ping's words "our great uncle" made Song Le Fang secretly delighted, but on the surface she sternly scolded: "When did he become your great uncle? I'm warning you not to randomly acknowledge relatives! I'm at the east gate of the school, come quickly!"

  "Alright, I'll be there soon!" Xiao Ping hung up the phone and quickened his pace towards the East Gate.

  As a well-known university in the province, Nan Da has a large area. From Song Tianming's teaching building to the East Gate, there is at least two or three bus stops away. However, for Xiao Ping now, this distance is nothing, he ran to the East Gate without getting red-faced and out of breath, even his breathing was very stable.

  Xiao Ping saw Song Lei standing at the school gate from afar. Although the little girl was still dressed in winter attire, she couldn't hide her fiery and curvaceous figure. Song Lei was clearly getting impatient, with a look of anxiety on her pretty face.

  A beautiful girl with a bright face and a fiery figure stands at the school gate, naturally attracting the attention of many boys. Many people will sneak a few more glances at Song Lei. Song Lei often stares back without showing weakness, and thin-skinned boys usually lose and quickly leave with their heads down in embarrassment.

  Xiao Ping couldn't help but secretly laugh at this, the little girl's personality was indeed spicy enough, calling her Little Chili Pepper wasn't wrong at all. When he was still over a dozen steps away from Song Lei, Xiao Ping secretly exerted himself to make his face flush bright red, even his forehead was faintly sweating, only then did he run to Song Lei's side, pretending to be out of breath and speaking in a stuttering tone: "I... I'm sorry, came late."

  Song Lei, who was originally anxious and planned to make things difficult for Xiao Ping again, saw him so exhausted that she threw away her original thoughts and said with a few points of heartache: "Why are you running so fast? It seems like I'm not patient enough to wait for you!"

  Xiao Ping panted and said: "I wanted to see you earlier, hehe..."

  This remark greatly moved Song Lei, and seeing Xiao Ping's forehead sweating, she quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe away his sweat. At this moment, Little Chili rarely showed her gentle side, and Xiao Ping also remained still, letting her do it, enjoying this warm moment.

  But neither of them noticed that in a sedan across the street, a pair of jealous eyes were staring at them tightly.
