During the weekend, Wu Suo Wei went back home, Mrs Wu kept praising Chi Cheng to his face, "That colleague of yours is really nice?"


Wu Suo Wei frowned, "Why are you still thinking about him?"


"He came to visit us two days ago, and even brought a lot of things."As she spoke, she turned around to open the cabinet, cautiously brought out a box and placed it on the table, "Take a look. He sent someone to give this [1] purple lingzhi. He said that it could lower sugar level and even told me to reduce my insulin intake, as it wasn't good for my body."

[T/N: [1] Refer to the picture below.]


Wu Suo Wei's inserted his hand into the box and rolled it around a few times. It felt rough and thick. There were still traces of splinters and dirt on it. It was obvious that it was wild. Nowadays, wild lingzhi would be expensive and hard to find. Such a large box, he reckoned it would have taken a great deal of time and effort!


He stood in daze and Mrs Wu spoke again.


"Da Qiong ah, our corn ripened early this year. Go pick a few, cooked it and give some to your colleague."



Wu Suo Wei grunted in reply.


In the evening, Wu Suo Wei went to Chi Cheng's unit carrying a big bag of cooked corns and today was coincidentally his turn to be on duty. Wu Suo Wei had always come to visit Chi Cheng. Even the old watchman had gotten to know him, and it made people said: Secretary-General Chi's son was so very friendly and popular that a young man would come send him food everyday.


" [2] Xiao Shuai ge, you've come again?" Fang Xin cheerfully patted Wu Suo Wei's shoulder.

[T/N: [2] Shuai is handsome and Xiao in this line refer to the use of calling someone younger than the speaker. Hence Xiao Shuai ge is like 'handsome lad'.]


This designation "Xiao Shuai ge" was definitely not a blind compliment. Every time this Wu Suo Wei came he would dress very smartly, summery short sleeved shirt and suit pants with a pair of polished leather shoes.


"Pulled some corncob from our family field and I've cooked it. It's much more fragrant compared to the ones your find sold on the street." Wu Suo Wei placed the plastic bag on the table so that Chi Cheng and some of his colleagues could have it.
