Hu Xiaobei didn't know that now someone else had taken an interest in him; at this moment, he was curiously looking at an old man standing under a tea tree...

Just a moment ago, Hu Xiaobei was chatting with Guo Meiyu in the room...

Then he heard Han Xueyao say someone was looking for him, and it was someone he didn't know...

Curious, Hu Xiaobei quickly returned here.

Just as he stepped into the yard, he saw this elderly man in a Zhongshan suit quietly standing under a tree, observing a decidedly robust tea tree not far away...

"Sir, do you like tea?"

With a light laugh, Hu Xiaobei walked over and spoke softly.

Hu Xiaobei knew he must be interested in tea, otherwise, he wouldn't be staring so intently...

At this moment, for some reason, the first time Hu Xiaobei saw him, he felt this person was quite nice...

"Hmm? Sorry to make a fool of myself!"

"No! On the contrary, I quite like your genuine expression!"

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei gently shook his head.

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's reply, the old man smiled and spoke softly, "Right, let me introduce myself, I'm Sun Zhengzheng. I came uninvited today, hope you won't mind!"

Hearing his introduction, Hu Xiaobei waved a hand, saying softly, "It's nothing, I don't mind. Guests from afar are always welcome!"

Hu Xiaobei was the type who enjoyed interacting with people, so he was genuinely welcoming of his arrival...

At Hu Xiaobei's candid response, the old man smiled...

Soon, he looked again at the robust tea tree and was somewhat nostalgic as he said, "In the past, my family's old house also had a very thick tea tree! Back then, I often listened to my grandfather's stories under the tree and often brewed tea with him."

Hearing this gentle recount, Hu Xiaobei didn't interrupt, just turned his head to seriously look at that absolutely green tea tree...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei understood that his genuine expression earlier came from remembering his deceased family...

After a long while, Hu Xiaobei heard him speak with slight awkwardness.

"Sorry, as I get older, I tend to reminisce a lot, making me a bit embarrassed, and let you see me like this!"

Giving him a glance, Hu Xiaobei gently shook his head...

"It's nothing! I think it's quite nice! What makes us human is having more emotions than many animals."

"Yes! It's all about emotions! Without emotions, there wouldn't be much meaning in living in this world! Xiaobei, I have an unreasonable request."

"Go ahead! As long as I can, I'll definitely agree."

"The tea tree from my old home died when they redeveloped the area. When I leave later, I'd like to take some tea leaves to pay respects to my family at the grave."

"No problem, I'll prepare some for you to take when you leave!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Thanking him earnestly, Sun Zhengzheng looked seriously at Hu Xiaobei!

Before coming, he had done some research on Hu Xiaobei and knew Hu Xiaobei was young and promising.

At that time, he thought that such a young and promising Hu Xiaobei would surely be arrogant, but now he realized it wasn't like that at all.

He truly was someone very pleasant to interact with...

"It's nothing. By the way, did you come to our Xiaohe Village to find me for some particular reason?"

Gently shaking his head, Hu Xiaobei spoke with slight curiosity!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's inquiry, he lightly patted his forehead, feeling a bit embarrassed to say, "Look at my memory! After seeing this tea tree, I forgot what I came for!"

With a laugh, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand, saying, "It's fine, let's take a seat in that gazebo over there and chat slowly!"

"Okay!"

As they spoke, Hu Xiaobei and he went together to the octagonal gazebo...

"The environment here is truly wonderful!"

In the gazebo, Sun Zhengzheng sincerely praised...

After this praise, he sat down and very detailedly explained the whole story...

As it turns out, Sun Zhengzheng is from the Genetic Research Center. Recently, he's been researching the genes of various animals, hoping to extract something beneficial to humans from them...

He's been studying various venomous snakes during this time!

Previously, he heard there was a now-extinct Chestnut Snake here, so he planned to visit and take a good look. If he could take back some scales or venom for careful research, it might really lead to results.

Understanding the entire process, Hu Xiaobei nodded lightly...

"Since it's scientific research, of course, I'll support it! Later, I'll call the Chestnut Snake over, and you can take a good look then!"

Sun Zhengzheng, relieved, quickly spoke up!

"Great! Great! Great! Thank you for your support, I won't let you help for nothing; I'll give you a reward later."

"Haha, keep the money, I don't need it!"

"Well... that's true too!"

If anyone else said this, he really wouldn't believe it, but since it was Hu Xiaobei, he truly believed it completely.

Because he had previously investigated Hu Xiaobei and knew his capabilities were quite formidable.

With a smile, Hu Xiaobei gently snapped his fingers.

After this, Hu Xiaobei began brewing tea...

Soon, the rich aroma of tea quickly filled the air...

Smelling this tea fragrance, Sun Zhengzheng sitting across from Hu Xiaobei once again thought of his family...

Seeing this, Hu Xiaobei didn't disturb him but quietly poured a cup for both himself and him...

…

"You... what are you doing?"

Elsewhere, Quan Shunli's mother, Xiao Yunfang, looked somewhat dumbfounded at her secretary dressed in uniform!

Earlier, she had asked her secretary to investigate all sorts of information about Hu Xiaobei. Now she saw her secretary coming in holding a large pile of documents...

Upon hearing Xiao Yunfang's puzzled inquiry, she set down the large pile of documents she was holding!

Soon, she spoke softly, "These are the detailed reports I gathered about Hu Xiaobei! And this is not even all of it!"

"What? Are you saying all these documents are about just one person, Hu Xiaobei?"

Looking at her secretary in astonishment, Xiao Yunfang was completely perplexed!

Seeing Xiao Yunfang's reaction, the secretary sighed with a bitter smile!

Previously, upon receiving Xiao Yunfang's instructions, she began to gather information on Hu Xiaobei!

Initially, she thought Hu Xiaobei was just an ordinary person, and that it would be quite easy to investigate, but after digging into it, she realized how wrong she was; Hu Xiaobei was no ordinary person...

"It's true, President Xiao, these are all detailed reports on Hu Xiaobei! If you don't believe it, you can take a close look!"

"I intend to do just that!"

As she spoke, she quickly picked up the top A4 sheet and began reading!

Soon, she indeed found it was true; documented inside was a multitude of detailed information about Hu Xiaobei.

"President Xiao, take your time reading, I'll go fetch the rest of the documents!"

Seeing Xiao Yunfang believe her, she hesitated for a moment before speaking again!

"Oh? Go ahead!"

"Alright!"

With a gentle nod, she quickly departed...

After the secretary left, Xiao Yunfang looked at the thick pile of materials, mumbling to herself, "Hu Xiaobei, it seems you're truly not just an ordinary person, I'm growing more and more interested in you!"
