Pretending To Be A Boss

"That's nice, I also watch movies often, it's not a waste of time because good movies can inspire people. What movies are you planning to watch?"

"I can't remember these movies..."

"Can't remember?"

Tang Xian thought to himself that his memory was photographic.

But perhaps for things he found extremely boring, there might be something to the idea of not remembering well.

It seemed that for Zhong Xiuxiu, both inviting men to watch movies and watching movies herself weren't as interesting as doing a brain section.

"Hmm, I can't remember, but I wrote them down. You can help me choose, he might like them." Zhong Xiuxiu said as she took off her lab gloves, went to the other side of the lab, and pulled out a small piece of paper from a cabinet.

This scene convinced Tang Xian that Shang Lu really had struck gold.

However, when Tang Xian saw the contents of the paper, he immediately had a face full of question marks.

Zhong Xiuxiu's memory of uninteresting content was just as bad as Tang Xiaojiu's understanding of idioms.

Tang Xian felt a myriad of emotions as he looked at the movie titles she had written on the note.

Too many elements, he was speechless.

"'Tiny Tank' is indeed an interesting movie that sings the praises of love, although research shows that letter order doesn't affect reading, this movie should be 'Titanic.'"

"Oh, they look all the same to me."

"And this 'Edward Scissorhands Loves Andy Lau,' even though King Liu has been famous for over a thousand years until now, I'm certain he has no relation to Edward Scissorhands. The movie should be 'Edward Scissorhands.'"

"So who is Andy Lau then?"

"It's Edward."

"Oh, sounds the same to me."

"Also, 'Pacific Rim' as a popcorn movie is not really suitable for couples to watch, it's a bit too American Dream themed, but I believe, if there were to be a movie in the future as you've written, 'Pacific Rim,' that would be very interesting because a movie with a bit of horror element is the most suitable for a man to invite a woman to watch."

Tang Xian felt himself to be a perfectly normal person, especially compared to Zhong Xiuxiu.

Zhong Xiuxiu remained calm, thinking these were all about the same.

In the end, Tang Xian corrected the movie titles one by one on the note and handed it back to Zhong Xiuxiu.

Zhong Xiuxiu glanced at it and said,

"They all seem the same."

"...You and Shang Lu really are a good match," said Tang Xian after a second of silence.

"Thank you."

"Has anyone told you that you have a talent for being funny?"

"You're the first. If that's a compliment, I can't take it; they all say I'm a very boring weirdo," Zhong Xiuxiu seriously said.

Tang Xian shrugged, proving that geniuses with low social intelligence were extra adorable when they were cute.

"I should be going; I'll attend your wedding with Shang Lu."

"Thank you, I enjoyed meeting you. I like talking with you," said Zhong Xiuxiu calmly.

"Me too, next time I'll teach you how to socialize, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

...

...

Tang Xian left Zhong Xiuxiu's laboratory.

In his hand, he was holding a long strand of hair.

He had plucked it when Zhong Xiuxiu wasn't looking. It was the answer to all his questions, as long as he carried out a DNA test.

But whether or not Zhong Xiuxiu was related to him, Tang Xian was more than willing to teach this quirky girl how to socialize.

After all, he was a kind and gentle human.

All the way, he reflected on Zhong Xiuxiu's various characteristics.

Her indifference to life, or rather her alienation from her own kind, was very similar to his own childhood.

But there were some differences from himself as well.

Though it may not be proper to say so,

The various aspects shown by Zhong Xiuxiu seemed like an inferior version of himself.

Whether it was in terms of overall intelligence, or in understanding human nature.

The most crucial point was that Zhong Xiuxiu was a normal talented individual.

She also had interesting aspects.

People have good memory in fields that interest them.

But they perform averagely in fields that don't interest them.

Tang Xian thought of Shang Lu.

During his student days, Shang Lu was very interested in plants.

Although he was a nerdy straight man, his handsome appearance combined with a scholarly aura made him quite popular with the girls.

One day, a girl asked Shang Lu which cosmetic brand was better.

There were probably Estée Lauder, Chanel, Dior, Maybelline... a whole bunch of brands.

Shang Lu was a very serious person with considerable expertise in the field of botany.

He earnestly looked over the skincare formula of every cosmetic brand.

Then he instantly memorized the formula of each brand and pointed out the deficiencies in those formulations.

But in the end, when the girl asked which brand was better, Shang Lu could recite the formulas one by one, yet he couldn't remember the names of the cosmetic brands.

This was probably like Zhong Xiuxiu being unable to remember movie titles.

Or men not remembering the gradations of lipstick shades, and women not knowing the difference between Ultraman Jack and the original Ultraman.

It's a very endearing trait.

Of course, it's worth mentioning that Shang Lu didn't think any of those brands were good enough, so he wrote a formula himself and gave it to the female classmate.

The girl was very disappointed. If you can't afford to give cosmetics, then don't give anything. What's the meaning of giving a piece of paper with a formula on it?

Could it be that she should disregard name brands and use something mixed by an ordinary student? Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire

After calling Shang Lu a poor nerd, she threw the piece of paper with the formula out of the window.

As it happened, this formula was later discovered by a young chemistry teacher.

The chemistry teacher found it interesting, made a sample according to the formula, and the outcome was very good.

Latter, the chemistry teacher sold it to Chanel and became one of the shareholders, living the rest of their life with an inexhaustible supply of luxury goods.

This was one of the few legendary experiences in Shang Lu's life.

Of course, the one who earned the most was Tang Xian.

After all, he had hired Shang Lu into his own enterprise.

...

...

The hospital was on the third floor.

With the presence of healers, the hospital actually didn't get much business.

Even if gifted individuals caught a cold, a stroll in the mining area with their robust constitutions was often enough to heal themselves.

These days, hospitals mostly did various types of testing.

That included DNA testing.

Tang Xian was in a very good mood today.

His friend was about to marry a woman who matched him in both intelligence and personality, and that was naturally a cause for celebration.

There were still many uncertainties regarding the Zudun Sacred Tree, and there was an increasing amount of work to do in the mining area.

But Tang Xian was not in a hurry. He didn't like weddings, but if the bride and groom were Shang Lu and Zhong Xiuxiu, he thought the wedding would probably be quite interesting.

DNA testing was now very fast.

Tang Xian waited quietly in the rest room for the results.

He had also provided his own hair to the hospital for comparison.

Tang Xian had undergone countless medical checkups since childhood and, except for the eyes of a Trial Knight, so far nothing within the Pyramid could detect that Tang Xian wasn't human.

So he wasn't particularly worried.

"The DNA comparison analysis report for number 7 is ready," the nurse called out while Tang Xian was mulling things over.

Tang Xian nodded and took the test report from the nurse's hand.

His heart immediately grew tense.

For all these years, Tang Xian had never forgotten his parents.

If possible, he naturally also wanted to find out what happened to his parents.

But that matter might still be a long way off.

Yet if he could uncover some secrets, discover he had relatives... perhaps it would bring him a step closer to solving the mysteries surrounding himself?

Tang Xian opened the sealed envelope, then took out the last of the three report books.

Two were individual test reports, the third was the comparative analysis report.

His eyes quickly moved to the last line.

Upon seeing it, Tang Xian froze.

"After comparative analysis, test subject DNA—does not match."
