Chapter 934: Eccentric Senior (4)

Gu Qingyao did not really know what to say to this Senior. No wonder Teacher both loved and hated him!
The two-storey house was really quite big. There was a front yard and a backyard. There was even a row of small buildings that lined the side of the backyard. These were used as storerooms. If necessary, more buildings could be added to the backyard in the future.
The kitchen, guest room and so on were on the first floor. There were three rooms on the second floor, and the rest of the space was occupied by a small laboratory.
Cannon was very pleased with the place. He had lived in many, many places, but never for long. He wrecked them all after a while.
“Junior, when do I start work? Where is your laboratory?”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “I’m still working on it. I estimate that all the apparatus will only arrive next month. Senior, meanwhile you can adjust to your new environment. I’ll also give you a few research directions, and you have to do some research.
“I’m going to start a pharmaceutical factory as well. You have to help manufacture many drugs and confirm their formulas so that they can be mass-produced.”
Cannon frowned. “Is that all? You can do all these yourself too!”
This junior was no less skilled than him. But she was rather lazy and had too many interests, so she did not invest too much time in medicine.
Gu Qingyao said, “I still have many other matters to attend to. I don’t have the time.”
She was mainly a manager. How could she do everything herself?
Cannon nodded and did not ask further.
Anyway, this Junior was very mysterious. She was so young but very wealthy. It was natural that she had other things to attend to.
He just needed to do his job properly. As long as his Junior took care of his day-to-day living, he would not pry!
She brought him around his new house. Cannon was very pleased with the place.
He was useless when it came to daily living. He was exceptionally talented in his area of expertise, but his life was a mess. Although this house could not compare to those grand mansions overseas, it was already a great improvement to Cannon, who had often lived in ghettos.
Gu Qingyao and Qiao Xinming left after they settled Cannon in. They let him get used to his surroundings and have a rest. They would bring him out for dinner at night.
Qiao Xinming found it hard to accept this Cannon at first.
“Younger Cousin, is he really your Senior?”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “Uhm! I got to know him when I was studying medicine overseas. He’s like that! I know you find him odd, but his entire mind is occupied with research, so he’s like an idiot when it comes to ordinary things. But he’s rather naive and a very nice man.”
Qiao Xinming: “…”
“You’ve prepared so much equipment for him. Is he going to perform experiments there?”
“Uhm! Senior is an expert in this area. Although he enjoys performing experiments, he did not take care of himself when he was overseas. I sponsored him for a while after I got to know him, and his life improved. After I left, he really fell into a pathetic state!”
Qiao Xinming’s mouth twitched. He remembered the first time he had met Cannon in the ghetto. He really was in a pathetic state!

That night, Gu Qingyao brought Cannon to Jin Jiang Restaurant for dinner.
Cannon almost cried when he saw the table laden with food.
“Wu wu wu, Junior, life is better with you! That old fellow was too vicious. He knew that I could not make ends meet, but he still gave me the boot. I almost starved to death.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She wanted to say that it was not Teacher’s fault!
The laboratory is very precious to him, but you’re always blowing it up. He has been kind enough to refrain from dissecting you for research!
