Luofeng Village, the village committee courtyard.
Except for Tian Mengyao's office, the other rooms were dark.
Bang bang bang!
Lin Fan knocked three times, startling Tian Mengyao inside. Her hand trembled, and she smudged lipstick on her face.
Tian Mengyao furrowed her brows and said angrily, "You couldn't come earlier or later, but you show up just as I've eaten some fruit and want to reapply my lipstick!"
She pulled out a wet wipe, quickly wiped the lipstick off her face, and then shouted at the door, "Stop knocking, wait outside!"
"What are you doing?"
Lin Fan wondered, "Is she sleeping in the office and just getting dressed now?"
What's so interesting about a little girl?
Thinking this, Lin Fan suddenly snapped back to reality, and then thought, "Although she's naive and sometimes silly, she's definitely not lacking in the areas that matter!"
Lost in thought, five or six minutes quickly passed.
Tian Mengyao then opened the door and complained, "Why did you take so long to come?"
"I haven't even said anything about you making me wait so long."
Lin Fan pushed forward, forcing Tian Mengyao to step aside.
"You..."
Tian Mengyao, pouting, went back to her seat and handed Lin Fan a document, saying, "Here, help me fill this out. I need to submit it to different departments for review."
This was a plan regarding the cooperative's equity structure and profit distribution. The blank spaces were already filled with long strings of numbers in neat handwriting.
Along with the document, she also gave Lin Fan several blank photocopies.
"Mmm."
Lin Fan took the document and looked down.
Half a minute later, while Lin Fan wasn't paying attention, Tian Mengyao suddenly snatched back the filled-out original: "I need to use it too. Just read it once and remember it."
It was clear that Tian Mengyao was doing this on purpose.
"I say, you..."
Lin Fan put down his pen and retorted, "You can remember it just by reading it once?"
"Yes~"
Tian Mengyao puffed out her chest proudly and said, "Every single number was calculated by me after immense effort. How could I possibly forget it?"
"Alright then."
Lin Fan said, picked up his pen, and began to write.
"Don't just scribble randomly. I printed these at the town, and if you ruin them, I'll have to go all the way back."
Tian Mengyao thought Lin Fan was being stubborn and would write carelessly.
"I'm not scribbling."
Lin Fan had intended to try filling it out, but suddenly a scene appeared in his mind.
This scene was of the document he had just finished reading!
Everything in the document was incredibly clear, as if it were right before his eyes!
Even every punctuation mark and the traces left by the pauses in writing were vivid!
"You still won't admit it?"
Tian Mengyao snatched back the photocopy Lin Fan was writing on.
"Don't move it! You've smudged it. Hey, hey, hey!"
Lin Fan shouted several times but couldn't stop the stubborn Tian Mengyao.
Tian Mengyao snorted, complaining, "You've written so much, it's already ruined."
Lin Fan chuckled, "Take a look and compare. See if it's ruined."
"Do you think you have photographic memory?"
Tian Mengyao rolled her eyes at Lin Fan and then casually glanced at the paper.
With just one glance, Tian Mengyao froze.
Tian Mengyao's eyes widened. After carefully looking it over, she picked up the original to check.
She placed the two documents side by side and meticulously compared them, number by number.
After she finished, she was completely stunned.
"You, you..."
"Am I right?"
Lin Fan raised his chin triumphantly.
"You really have a photographic memory?"
"Just a little trick."
Lin Fan pointed to his head.
"A little trick..."
Tian Mengyao didn't believe it one bit.
She had even copied the dots left when he paused his pen. How could it be a small trick?
"Xiao Fan, how were your grades when you were in school?"
Tian Mengyao felt that Lin Fan was a buried genius.
At least when she was studying, she absolutely didn't have such a strong memory.
The top students in the class, unless they had received specific training in this area, couldn't possibly achieve such an exaggerated level as Lin Fan.
"I... it was alright."
Lin Fan felt a bit embarrassed.
He knew this was definitely the credit of the mysterious inheritance.
Ever since he received the mysterious inheritance, the purple qi in his dantian had been transforming his body, granting him all sorts of incredible abilities.
Today, he had just accidentally discovered another one.
Seeing Tian Mengyao's puzzled expression, Lin Fan quickly added, "After dropping out of school, I've been studying books on traditional Chinese medicine and herbs. You know, we can earn some money by collecting herbs here."
"Oh, I see."
Tian Mengyao smiled, thinking to herself, "This explains it!"
She had a photographic memory and an extremely intelligent mind, but due to poverty, she had to go up the mountain to collect herbs for a living, thus becoming a master of Chinese medicine.
"Xiao Fan, have you ever thought about continuing your education?"
"There are many training institutions now that can help you improve your academic qualifications. As long as you spend a little money, with your intelligence, getting a master's degree wouldn't be a problem!"
Hope flickered in Tian Mengyao's beautiful eyes.
Everyone wants the person they like to be even better!
Lin Fan possessed a photographic memory, and in a short period, his medical skills had become more proficient than many renowned doctors.
If he applied this intelligence to his studies, becoming a doctor of philosophy in the future wouldn't be impossible.
"I... I'll pass."
Lin Fan shook his head. "I think practicing medicine and saving people now is quite good."
"Besides, I'm only at the beginner stage of the medical path. There's still a long way to go."
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Tian Mengyao's beautiful eyes.
But then again, it made sense.
What's missed is missed.
Since Lin Fan had embarked on the path of medicine, he should continue down it. It was a broad and smooth path anyway.
It's just a pity...
"I wonder if my parents would accept it?"
Tian Mengyao's little thought flashed by.
"Do you still need me to fill them out? If not, I'm going back to sleep."
"Always thinking about sleeping. These are all yours."
Tian Mengyao grabbed a thick stack of documents and slapped them heavily on the table in front of Lin Fan with a "snap."
All the simple, repetitive tasks, Tian Mengyao pushed onto Lin Fan.
Lin Fan gave a wry smile and then started working.
The office was silent, with only the "swish swish" of writing and barely audible breaths.
Tian Mengyao soon finished her work.
She stretched lazily, without making a sound, for fear of disturbing Lin Fan, who was working diligently.
"Smart and diligent. No wonder his medical skills are so amazing."
"And what about his peculiar treatment methods? What exactly are they?"
"Are they magical medical techniques, or has he somehow mastered some ancient secret skills?"
Tian Mengyao's admiring gaze lingered on him.
While thinking these things, she gazed at Lin Fan dreamily.
