Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 155 Where is my boyfriend?

Welcome to the world of plants! Here are some basic tips on flower cultivation.

In biology, if a flower of a plant has both pistils and stamens, it is called a monoecious plant, also known as a hermaphroditic flower, such as a peach blossom.

A flower that is dioecious, meaning that each flower has only one of the two types of stamens or pistils, is called a unisexual flower, such as the ginkgo.

The pollination process of a flower requires pollen produced by the stamen to be transferred to the stigma of the pistil so that the ovules in the ovary can tighten.

Some hermaphroditic flowers can complete the pollination process on their own under certain circumstances, without relying on external assistance.

However, unisexual flowers on dioecious plants cannot do this; in nature, they need insects such as bees to help with pollination.

Besides insects, some flowers are also pollinated artificially.

Flowers with fully developed ovules attract bees with their brightly colored, outward-opening petals.

When bees collect nectar, their bodies, especially their legs, get covered in pollen.

When it flies back to the pistil to collect nectar, it will transfer the pollen it carries to the pistil of the flower to complete the tightening process.

However, bees don't flock to just any flower to collect nectar; they are selective.

Generally speaking, bees will not collect nectar from flowers that are still in bud or have just opened, because the nectar content is the lowest.

It is usually when the flowers are in full bloom and the nectar content is at its highest that the most nectar can be collected at once.

However, unlike normal bees that use their long, thin mouthparts to collect nectar, the Zhuotong bee uses its thick stinger at the end of its abdomen to collect nectar.

These four large, ornamental flowers, with their prominent front and back, sway in the wind, their stems twisting, waiting for the bees to arrive.

The bee quickly flew to the flower...

The bees begin to extract nectar from the flowers inside, which will be used for subsequent honey production.

Collect all the nectar in one fell swoop.

An hour later, Zhuo Tong, having finished washing up, lay in bed, listlessly scrolling through her phone.

Bai Wei was as quiet as ever today, without a word, as if she hadn't appeared at the Wangting Building this afternoon and hadn't witnessed Zhuo Tong's farming.

"I really can't figure out what this woman is thinking."

In stark contrast, Han Qi, like a big dog that hadn't been out on a long trip in a while, was full of enthusiasm and energy, sending Zhuo Tong more than twenty messages in just a few minutes:

[Han Qi: Dude, are you asleep?]

[Han Qi: Remember to come to the school anniversary celebration tomorrow! I'll be waiting for you.]

[Han Qi: Tomorrow I'll show you my true strength, hehe.]

[Han Qi: After the school anniversary celebrations are over, don't walk too fast. I'll treat you to dinner. This time it's for real, and no one can stop me!]

[Han Qi: [Animated Emoticon - Fire Breathing]]

After a few simple replies, the restless Han Qi was finally calmed down.

"The school anniversary...it really brings back memories. I wonder what old acquaintances I'll run into."

Zhuo Tong muttered to himself.

A moment later, the quiet room was broken by Xiao Cui's complaints about working overtime. She peeked into the room and looked at Zhuo Tong:

"Boss, my neck is so sore from working overtime all day. Can I take a break?"

"Among you, you have the best stamina and can work overtime the most. If you can get the others to cover for you, I'll let you off the hook."

"Ugh, the unscrupulous and heartless boss is exploiting his poor employees."

"Don't talk, keep working overtime..."

……

It was already quite bright at six in the morning. Zhuo Tong let go of Xiao Cui who was hugging his neck, quickly got up to wash and get ready, and then went to the dining room for breakfast.

I thought I had gotten up very early, but I didn't expect that Qi Shuangxue had already finished breakfast and even prepared a portion for me.

Based on my observations during the past few days of eating breakfast together, Qi Shuangxue has roughly figured out my eating preferences.

High in protein, low in oil and sugar, plus some green vegetables.

"Boss, please have a meal."

When Zhuo Tong arrived, Qi Shuangxue had just finished plating the food and immediately retreated to the wall to wait.

Because they were a little pressed for time today, Zhuo Tong remained silent and listened attentively to Qi Shuangxue's work report.

"Boss, Mr. Wang said the contract is ready and we can sign it with Mr. Liang tonight."

"Regarding the acquisition of Hongxing, Mr. Liao's side has been very cooperative and proactive. They have also prepared a very professional team to handle it, and all we need to do is cooperate."

"The last thing was something Sister Wang asked me to say..."

Looking at the contents of her notebook, Qi Shuangxue hesitated for once during the work report, as if she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

But a closer look at her expression reveals a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"Just say it."

"Sorry, boss, I was a little distracted."

"fine."

Qi Shuangxue calmed herself down and then began to tell her story:
"Sister Wang said that Ah Jie, who had been staying at the bathhouse for several days, has recently started to get restless again."

"Besides collecting payment slips, there are many other shady dealings involved. I can analyze them with you sometime. The surveillance footage has already captured a lot of evidence, and we can call the police at any time."

After she finished speaking, Qi Shuangxue tentatively asked:
"Boss, do you know this Ah Jie?"

"I don't know him, he's just a customer."

Zhuo Tong finished her breakfast and wiped her mouth:

"What, does this remind you of your boyfriend? I remember his name was also A-Jie."

"Yes but……"

Qi Shuangxue was very conflicted.

According to her boyfriend, A-Jie, he did go to visit a good friend or brother, and they did indeed wash feet together.

Aside from a few times when he took the initiative to check on things, Ah Jie never told anyone where he had gone.

Therefore, there is no way to determine whether the person Zhuo Tong and Sister Wang were talking about was actually her boyfriend.

Deep down, I still hope that the two people just have the same nickname and are not the same person.

After all, simply receiving payment slips is illegal, and judging from what Sister Wang said, it seems there are other shady dealings involved.

Ah Jie had always been an entrepreneur in Hong Kong, and he would never be someone who takes shortcuts or engages in shady dealings. Absolutely not!
Qi Shuangxue convinced herself, and her expression became firm and decisive again, all her previous hesitation vanished.

Zhuo Tong took in her reaction and couldn't help but wonder if the two were the same person.

Based on the surveillance footage provided by Sister Wang last time, Ah Jie's actions were not just a simple matter of collecting code slips.

If you really call the police, you'll likely end up in jail for at least a few years.

"I'm full. Please have the waiter clean up."

"Okay, boss. I've driven the car to the shady spot by the hotel's main entrance, turned on the air conditioning for a while beforehand, and filled up the tank."

"Great, let's go to the gym first, then head to Shenzhen University. It's been a long time since I've attended the university's anniversary celebration."
