“It’s Miss Qin,” Butler Kang said with a smile. “What a coincidence.”

“I’m here to talk to Qiu Heng. Are you here to do something?”

“Yes.” Butler Kang was tight-lipped and refused to say anything more.

Qin Fanya wanted to ask about Fu Xiuyuan’s recent situation, but she ended up not saying anything.

Ever since Butler Meng was taken away, she had lost track of the Fu family.

She was a little upset. The person she had interacted with before was Butler Meng and not Butler Kang. She hadn’t expected Butler Meng to be exposed.

Luckily, she did not have many dealings with Butler Meng. She only asked him for information regarding the Fu family so she could get closer to them.

After Qin Fanya left, Butler Kang entered.

“Butler Kang?” Qiu Heng was surprised to see him.

“Young Madam asked me to gift Young Master Heng something.” Butler Kang smiled and said, “Young Madam said that she can’t accept your gift for free.”

Qiu Heng took it. It was also a box that wasn’t sealed. He opened it and saw that it was a handwritten copy of Genetic Theory. This wasn’t a work of art. It was a hand-written research theory of a few famous geneticists. It had never been publicly released, but it was considered a treasure in the industry and only the students of big shots had the opportunity to even look at it.

Now, the students who had read this work had all become teachers. However, this manuscript was still the classic that they had praised.

Anyone in this line of work wanted to see how exquisite this manuscript was.

Qiu Heng only flipped through a few pages before realizing the value of this work.

He had always known about the existence of this work and had heard his teacher mention it, but he had never seen it before. He did not expect Shi Jin to have such a thing.

After flipping through a few pages, he could not help feeling intoxicated and read carefully.

Seeing him like this, Butler Kang knew that Young Madam’s gift was right. He just didn’t know what was written on it that made Qiu Heng lose his composure.

“Young Master Heng, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”

Qiu Heng snapped out of his daze and said, “Did Shi Jin say anything else?”

“No. She only told me to personally deliver this book to you. She also said that she was thankful for the few stalks you gave her… They should be herbs, right?”

“It’s herbal medicine. Help me thank her too.” Qiu Heng originally thought that Shi Jin was just an ordinary traditional Chinese medicine aficionado who had a bit more talent than regular people, but now that he had received this book, he had a different opinion of Shi Jin.

In the past, he had always heard people say that Fu Xiuyuan had taken a liking to Shi Jin because he had chosen to be blind. However, from this moment onwards, he firmly believed that Fu Xiuyuan was indeed someone with good taste.

Qiu Heng spent some time copying the manuscript.

The servant thought it was strange after seeing this. “Young Master, is the printer broken? I’ll get someone to fix it.”

“No need. I need to copy this myself.”

The servant didn’t say anything else. After all, the Qiu family liked to copy things by hand, so it wasn’t that strange.

Academic researchers were more or less eccentric.

Qiu Heng spent some time copying the manuscript before bringing it back to the Fu residence.

Old Master Fu saw him coming over and pointed at his nose. “You’re finally willing to come over? Have you forgotten how I carried you around when you were young? Now that you’re grown, you refuse to come?”

“Grandpa Fu, I was indeed too busy.” Qiu Heng stood up straight in front of Old Master Fu and listened to his scolding obediently.

Old Master Fu was well aware that Qiu Xingmi’s illness had cast a shadow over Hong Kong. The Qiu family had also been criticized.

For a long time, the Qiu family had been an existence that everyone avoided.

Old Master Fu was also very angry because Fu Zhaoxiang insisted on staying in the Southern Courtyard. He unleashed his anger, which implicated the Qiu family and made them feel embarrassed to visit. In the end, Qiu Heng couldn’t be blamed.

He waved his hand. “Take a seat. How could you bear to visit me today?”

“Firstly, I’m here to visit Grandfather. Secondly, I have something to discuss with Shi Jin.”

“Ha, the first reason is fake, the other is real, right?”

Qiu Heng smiled.

Old Master Fu was a little bored. “All of you are like this, always talking about Shi Jin. Forget it, Old Kang. Come, let’s go out for a walk.”

When Shi Jin heard that Qiu Heng was here, she came down from upstairs. She saw him sitting alone while Old Master Fu was changing into his shoes and was preparing to leave.

“What’s the matter, cousin?”

“I’ll return this manuscript to you.”

“Didn’t I say it was for you? You don’t have to return it to me.”

“I can’t accept such a valuable item. Besides, I’ve already copied it down. There’s no point in keeping it. I’ll return it to you. Treat it as if I’ve accepted your gift.”

Since that was the case, Shi Jin did not insist and took it back.

“Shi Jin, you do research on this too?”

“Not specifically. I just flip through it when I have nothing to do.” Shi Jin took the book carefully.

“I thought that people who dabbled in ancient Chinese medicine wouldn’t be interested in this kind of modern research. They might even be hostile towards it.”

“Medicine is neither ancient nor modern, nor is it about nationality. Whether it’s research or medical practice, isn’t everyone’s goal the same? Work hard to reduce the patients’ pain and let their bodies recover to their original state. Since the goals are the same, does the method matter? Of course, whatever is useful can be learned and used,” Shi Jin said, her attitude very casual.

Qiu Heng usually lived in an environment where he didn’t think much of ancient Chinese medicine, especially those flowers and plants. They were deemed useless. So when he heard Shi Jin’s words, he felt that his view was rather narrow.

“Then, you have done a lot of research on the book in your hand?” Qiu Heng asked with great interest. “I wonder what your opinion on the gene and gender theory proposed by Morgen on page 150?”

Shi Jin took over the topic and said frankly, “Morgen revealed that genes are the genetic unit that forms chromosomes. It can control the development of the genetic trait and is also the basic unit of mutation, restructuring, and exchange. But what material is the gene made of? This was still a mystery back then. However now, with modern research technology, this is no longer a problem.”

Qiu Heng was overjoyed. It turned out that Shi Jin really knew and understood everything. He then suggested a few other directions and Shi Jin answered perfectly.

However, Shi Jin did not specialize in this field. She had many questions as well.

The two of them chatted for a while before Qiu Heng said, “How about this? I’ll bring more reference materials over next time, and we can talk in detail.”
