Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Luo Yanqing Never Shows Off

”Sure you won’t eat more?”

Luo Yanqing was skeptical of what Director Song had said.

”Kid, the pastries Li Bao made are actually not that sweet, didn’t you notice? But since I said so, naturally I won’t go back on my word and let a young fellow like you look down on me!”

Even though Kang Li knew that Luo Yanqing had a sweet tooth, she still didn’t make the pastries too sweet, instead sticking to the normal proportions of ingredients. Thus, whether it was the mung bean cake or the layered cake, they were suitable for the public’s taste.

Besides, Director Song indeed needed to be cautious about sweets, but according to medical advice, it was recommended not to indulge in sweets on a daily basis.

In other words, eating them in moderation was no big issue, and it’s best if one could avoid them altogether.

Not only was Luo Yanqing aware of this, but Kang Li had also heard about it from Mrs. Qi.

As for her knowing that Director Song needed to avoid sweets and yet telling him today that her bag contained pastries she had made, it was because she believed in Director Song’s self-control.

After all, he wasn’t a naïve child but an elderly person who certainly knew that nothing was more important than health. However, before Kang Li left the hospital, she still found a public phone booth and made a call to Director Song.

”Director, Teacher Luo, there’s a call for you.”

Director Song, holding the pastries shared by Luo Yanqing and the clothes packed in a plastic bag, was about to leave when a comrade about forty appeared at the door of Luo Yanqing’s dormitory.

Within the institution, for those with experience like Luo Yanqing, people usually addressed each other as ”Teacher,” whereas newly arrived junior researchers tended to refer to figures like him as ”Professor so-and-so,” as if by agreement.

The reason?

Quite simple: except for Luo Yanqing, who wasn’t yet thirty, the heads of all the research groups in the institute were all in their forties or older.

And, like Luo Yanqing, they all held professorial appointments at several renowned universities in North City.

Perhaps it was out of respect that the young colleagues, when facing a big shot like Luo Yanqing, genuinely addressed their idol from the bottom of their hearts as ”Professor so-and-so.”

Moreover, among these youngsters, there was no lack of students of Luo Yanqing and other luminaries.

And as for the families living in the compound, calling him ”Professor Luo” was simply a reflection of Luo Yanqing’s reputation within the institute.

Just think about it, not yet thirty years old, within a few years of joining the institute, he had already churned out small and large research achievements one after another, never taking credit for them. Each time an achievement was made, he wrote the report and sought recognition for all the members of his group.

This left every comrade who had worked on a project with Luo Yanqing utterly convinced and in admiration, naturally leading to high praise in front of their families at home.

So, without Luo Yanqing’s knowledge, when the families in the compound saw him, they almost always politely addressed him as ”Professor Luo.”

Even someone like Loo Ping, who often had her own little schemes, couldn’t think of a second way to address Luo Yanqing if she happened to meet him.

Of course, some older members of the families would call him ”Comrade Luo” more often when they saw him.

Speaking of which, it’s worth mentioning that a few leaders in the institute, if they interacted with Luo Yanqing on a daily basis, affectionately called their precious ”Little Luo.”

Alright, another point that must be clarified is that Luo Yanqing never looked down upon himself; on the contrary, he respected his elders. Therefore, when dealing with older professors with longer tenure, he always referred to himself as Little Luo and addressed them as ”Teacher” to show his attitude towards his seniors,
