The online vitriol was broken by a lawyer's letter from the Qin Corporation, those who were secretly causing trouble.
[Yizhou is grateful for their help!]
[Little Medicine King? So, will I get to see the Little Medicine King's true appearance this time?!! Can't wait!!]
[The Little Medicine King is the goal for our new generation of researchers! Worth it, worth it to see an idol!]
[So, isn't the Little Medicine King someone who grows herbs? What does it have to do with experiments?]
Someone asked the most confusing question, which then unleashed a flood of comments from laboratory staff from various places.
[I'm a staff member at a laboratory in Tai Chuan City. Our lab was initiated by Dr. Shen, and I can responsibly tell everyone that the Little Medicine King's greatest skill is drug purification technology! So good that even Dr. Shen has to bow down!]
[I'm from a lab in Yu Chang City. I had the honor of witnessing it once. That brain, it was born for this!]
Among them, even the son of Grandma Medicine made a powerful statement.
[Alright, esteemed individuals, stop talking! I'll go dig through the trash can myself!]
[The person above says they'll dig through the trash can and they actually do it! In the blink of an eye, they're in front of me!]
[You all have trash cans to dig through, unlike me, who's always been inside one.]
Amidst the netizens' casual banter, the host finally began reading out the names of those to be honored.
Huo Rou followed Shen Wuyou onto the stage.
[Holy crap! This beautiful young lady is a medical prodigy!!]
The netizens were stunned. What drove them wild was that when they recognized Huo Rou, her title was "Young and Promising Little Medicine King"!!
[Someone tell me, the Little Medicine King is such a young and beautiful girl?!!!]
[I can instantly transform my adoration into infatuation! Study hard! I might still have a chance!]
The old leaders in the audience's eyes lit up. "Old Qin, you've known such a young Little Medicine King for so long, you should have introduced her to us earlier!!"
Who among the old leaders didn't have ailments? They needed no small amount of medicinal herbs. If they had known this channel to meet the Little Medicine King, their search for medicinal herbs would have been much easier!!
Old Master Qin sat there as steady as Mount Tai, a smile on his face but a big question mark rising in his heart.
He knew Huo Rou had made great contributions in the laboratory, but he didn't know she was the "Little Medicine King"!
He exchanged pleasantries with the leaders beside him, but inwardly he grumbled: I found out at the same time as you guys!!
Many people from the laboratory were honored, but only the first few were invited on stage. The host finished reading the long list and soon moved on to the next item.
The netizens were still excitedly discussing, not yet over their excitement, when the host once again announced Huo Rou's name.
[What's going on? I was pulled away by my mom for a lecture and missed it.]
[Upstairs, what is your mom lecturing you about now?]
[She looked at the Little Medicine King on TV, then looked at me lying on the sofa in my shorts, munching on chips...]
[Understood!]
[Friend, you're not alone! My mom just said, we're both approaching thirty, why did she get an award while I'm still good for nothing.]
[So what's going on? Why is she up there again?!]
Netizens who knew what was happening kindly and enthusiastically explained: [This is the commendation segment for the Intelligence Department.]
On stage, Huo Rou stood beside the burly figure of Director Zeng of the Intelligence Department, appearing even more petite.
Among the guests presenting their awards was the director of the press conference. As he handed the honorary medal to Huo Rou, he heard her say, "Thank you."
With just these two words, his eyes suddenly focused, the smile on his face froze, and he stared at Huo Rou in disbelief, frozen in place.
"You..." The director, who usually held his own in any debate, could barely speak. He stammered for a long time before suddenly straightening his tongue, "Little friend?!"
"Yes," Huo Rou readily admitted, smiling as she shook his hand. "Thank you for your care over the years."
The first time she attacked the United States was handled by this very person at a press conference. This was also this person's first job at a diplomatic corps press conference.
"I really didn't expect to meet under such circumstances..." The director was very surprised and even chatted with Huo Rou as he went down.
The netizens exploded again.
[OMG! It looks like our diplomat idol actually knows Huo Rou!]
[More than knows?] one netizen said with great distress. [Look at my idol's smile, it doesn't seem so stern anymore!]
[Right, right! It's like he's looking at his own daughter! My heavens, is this some weird father-daughter pairing?]
The netizens searched everywhere, but couldn't figure out how Huo Rou and the diplomatic director knew each other. The diplomatic director didn't have such a relative!
Old Master Qin, sitting in front of Huo Rou, personally heard the normally solitary diplomatic director invite Huo Rou to his home as a guest to taste his newly picked tea.
He was about to ask Huo Rou about the situation when the old leaders around him couldn't hold back and started asking questions one after another. At the age when they should be mature and steady, these old comrades chose to gossip! Old Master Qin leaned back with a pained heart.
"It's nothing, the director's first difficult task was brought about by me..." Huo Rou said with some embarrassment. She didn't show any sign of being flustered when facing the leaders' inquiries, behaving very properly.
Before the leaders could ask further questions, the host on stage once again announced Huo Rou's name!
"This..." The old leaders turned back, their faces a little numb.
One old leader, who often browsed the internet, said with a sigh, "Is she here to wholesale awards at the awards ceremony..."
