Chapter 654: Chapter 654 Home Visit from Civil Affairs Bureau_1
Tang Zhou, his anger somewhat dissipated, coughed exaggeratedly in a feigned dignified manner, “What about my hot milk? I always drink a cup of hot milk in the morning. Haven’t you warmed it up for me?”
Leng Chenmo said, “You’ll be taking medicine later. You’re fair enough already. Drinking a few less glasses of milk won’t affect your attractiveness.”
Empirically, it’s best not to drink milk before and after taking medicine, as it could affect its efficacy. Leng Chenmo, being more considerate and thoughtful than Tang Zhou, knew this too well.
“Oh.” Tang Zhou immediately grew quiet. As he lifted the knife and fork towards the fried eggs, he couldn’t bring himself to cut into them, how could he ruin such a perfect shape? It seemed too cruel.
He’d better stick to his bacon.
Tang Zhou took a bite of the bacon. His follower’s cooking skills were improving by the day. He wondered, if things keep going , would his follower become a self-made culinary tycoon?
Tang Zhou couldn’t help but speculate until a servant walked in to report something. He changed his posture to a more formal one and asked, “What did you say? My brother ascended to the presidency yesterday, and a home visit by an uncouth civil affairs worker is already scheduled for today?”
The servant said, “The civil affairs workers are at the door.”
Leng Chenmo responded with a cold voice, “Let them in.”
The servant nodded and left, quickly letting in two civil affairs workers. Upon seeing the two men eating, the civil affairs workers politely greeted them with an overly sycophantic tone.
“Ms. Tang, Mr. Leng, we’re just here for a routine visit.”
Tang Zhou clenched his fists: Who’s calling me Miss Tang? Your whole family is Miss Tang!
Leng Chenmo, on the other hand, chuckled, not minding the home visit from the civil affairs workers.
The civil affairs workers, seeing the lovely heart-shaped fried eggs on the plates, asked in surprise, “Miss Tang, quite the artistic touch, even your fried eggs are special.”
Tang Zhou clenched his fists, glaring at the civil affairs worker, “Who said I made them?”
The butler ushered in with two cups of tea, adding tactfully, “Mr. Leng made the eggs. Knowing about our young master’s appetite, he learned to cook. Our young master was hospitalized a while back and Mr. Leng personally made all the pork ribs soup.”
The workers found it hard to believe. Was this gentlemanly figure, who seemed far removed from the kitchen, truly the same Mr. Leng the butler spoke of?
Back to serious matters, the worker took out a pamphlet from a folder, placed it on the table, and said, “Miss Tang, Mr. Leng, to address our aging population and taking into account improving living conditions, more and more women don’t want childbirth to hinder their careers. Our medical team has developed an artificial womb, which is about to go into clinical use. If you consider this, you could apply to be early adopters.”
Tang Zhou was stunned. Has medical technology advance to this extent?
Tang Zhou took the pamphlet and it read: ‘Extracorporeal gestation is about to be realized. The recently developed incubator has all the necessary conditions to grow a fetus. The incubator is filled with amniotic-fluid-like liquid, has its own blood circulation system, and the umbilical cord of the fetus would be connected to the artificial placenta to receive oxygen and nutrients.’
‘The research team installed various sensors in the incubator to mimic the mother’s body temperature and heartbeat, making it possible to realize extracorporeal gestation and becoming the best tool to liberate women and increase the population. If you’re afraid that childbirth will affect your figure, please apply to be the first batch of pioneers.’
