Chapter 790: 780. Feeding on illusions_1

Song Tan watched in awe.

Never had she imagined that Yan Ran could actually be such a person!

Thinking about her in the village, she was dependable, capable, intelligent, never arguing with anyone!

But just now, she was quick-witted, sharp, and not at all susceptible to moral kidnapping — a real pro at arguing!

Song Tan really liked her a lot now!

As for the little kid, after losing his colorful, glowing shoes, his crying became even more fierce, agitating everyone in the carriage. The murmurs also grew louder and louder.

And that man was sweating profusely with anxiety, his face now flushed red! After all, he just wanted to get a verbal advantage, never expecting to be scratched on the face and kicked until his body ached…

Most importantly, he hadn’t evolved to the point where he could maintain indifference while the entire carriage stared at him angrily!

Especially the child in his arms, the louder he cried, the more energy he seemed to explode with, kicking and flailing uncontrollably!

Seeing this, Yan Ran didn’t pursue the victory, but instead sighed. She then took out a chestnut and offered it:

“Do you want it?”

The child’s tantrum wasn’t just about the shoes, he had really been tempted beyond endurance. Now, seeing the chestnut, he gradually stopped crying amidst his sobs.

At the same time, his chubby hand reached forward: “Want…”

However, Yan Ran avoided his hand: “You just kicked my chair with your shoe. Are you going to apologize?”

The child’s lips puckered, but his expression was not one of confusion, obviously understanding. At that moment, he whimpered:

“I’m sorry.”

Yan Ran uttered, “Hmm,” then continued: “What about your dad? He spoke rudely and insulted people; should he apologize too?”

“He should.” The devilish angel switched modes in an instant, and the child quickly turned to look at his dad, “Dad, grandpa says you have to apologize when you do something wrong… You, you…”

He huffed and puffed, struggling to articulate: “You were wrong, you have to apologize.”

The man instantly turned red.

The next moment, under Yan Ran’s mocking gaze, he finally lowered his head: “I’m sorry. I said the wrong thing, and I haven’t been careful in educating my child.”

Compared to his son’s unreasonable tantrum just now, an apology was better… An apology was just a slight blow to his pride. But without an apology, his face would really be scratched.

Yan Ran looked at him without moving: “Am I the only one who deserves an apology?”

The man was stunned, then his expression became more and more tangled. But with just a turn of his head, he could see the looks from all around, including unabashed satisfaction on the faces of those who had watched the whole ordeal.

He gritted his teeth, stood up holding the child, and then gave a slight bow to everyone: “I’m sorry, I haven’t educated my child properly, letting him kick someone’s chair and disturb everyone, and I accused the lady… I’m sorry, we will correct our behavior in the future.”

Huh? He really could tough it out!

Yan Ran and Song Tan exchanged looks, clearly both surprised and satisfied.

One could even say that this attitude exceeded expectations.

And the people in the carriage were momentarily silent, before someone finally started to applaud:

“Young man, we know it’s hard to handle children, but with a dad like you setting an example, both of you will surely become even better.”

“Yes, yes, children will learn if you talk and teach them patiently… Oh my, look at your face, do you need some iodine?”

“Miss, you must be a teacher, right! Truly impressive…”

“Look at this girl, her complexion might be dark, but her mind is as bright as can be…”

Yan Ran: …If you’re going to compliment her, why emphasize her darkness? She’s far from Zhang Yanping’s level, alright!

But in that moment, seeing the man’s hopeful expression mirroring that of his child in his arms, she managed to force a smile and handed him the chestnut:

“Take good care of feeding your son. One at a time, don’t choke him.”

The child’s father: …

In his heart he was thinking, you only gave me this one chestnut, I would love to feed him in big chunks, but that’s simply not possible!

Once Yan Ran returned to her seat, she saw Song Tan’s eyes shining brightly, “Where do you plan to work after you graduate?”

Huh?

Yan Ran was startled. Her family was well-off, and she studied agriculture out of love. She really didn’t have to worry about work, following Professor Song, so she hadn’t given it much thought.

But there was Song Tan already starting to sell her the dream, “How about you, Tai Xiaodong, Qi Lin and the others stay and work at my place after you graduate?”

She counted on her fingers, “Although the salary might not be that high, it doesn’t sound as prestigious as the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, and the housing isn’t as convenient as a company dormitory…”

Huh, that said, it seems to have no advantages!

Yan Ran already started laughing, “With a teacher as awesome as mine, why are you working so hard to recruit me?”

Song Tan looked helpless as she told the truth, “Isn’t there a saying online now? You can look for interns when you see a doctor, because if they can’t handle it, they’ll call for an expert teacher who you can’t otherwise get an appointment with.”

By the same token, with Professor Song’s protective nature, aren’t his three apprentices just as good?

After all, she would like to invite Professor Song, but what gave her the right!

Yan Ran laughed, then reassured her,

“Don’t worry, we’re not graduating until next year. Our projects are all in the fields of your home, so we won’t leave before graduation. You don’t need to pay us any wages.”

The only one probably feeling aggrieved was her alma mater. After all, it wasn’t easy to employ Professor Song, and he was even willing to supervise students. The financial report to apply for funds from the department had already been written, yet he chose to go to the countryside!

Go if he must, but they say he went to repay a favor. Now, look where that favor has gotten him–rooted in a small farm, not budging for four or five months!

As for after graduation…

Yan Ran became even more proud, “Next year, your scale will be bigger, right? By that time, if you offer room and board, social security benefits, weekends off, and maybe seven or eight thousand a month, I don’t know about them, but I might be willing.”

Honestly, the salary isn’t low, but it’s not high either.

Because with a formal position, the salary would rise with each year, the social security contribution is higher, a cafeteria is assured, as well as internal pricing for houses or housing arranged according to one’s title.

Not only is it a stable job, but there’s also a bright future…

In short, there are many benefits. Compared to those, only someone like Yan Ran, who isn’t short on money, would jokingly agree.

Song Tan was very moved, “It’s just like you! Rest assured, a 60 square meter single apartment, 8000 a month. I’m also a registered company, so there has always been social security benefits. There’s no fixed working time every day, you can rest any time you need without it being considered taking leave! Also, you can have three meals a day at my place!”

Ah, compared to the prospect of a company, these conditions seem quite humble!

But Yan Ran looked at her and said, “The working hours are quite flexible, but you don’t mention how it’s all hands on deck during the busy farming season, do you?”

“That goes without saying!” Song Tan answered confidently, “You’re an expert, you don’t have to do the labor!”

Yan Ran: …She’s certainly been no stranger to hard work these past few months!

Now she just hummed, “No hurry, no hurry. I’ll find a place to intern next year and then make a comparison.”
