Galactic Garbage Station

Chapter 532 Depression

Su Jing did not rush to sort out the trash and he unearthed a lot of gold and silver treasures and other previous things one after another. In the “Wall-E” Universe, the whole earth has become a garbage dump, and the gold and silver treasures have lost their value so it’s normal for them to be thrown away as garbage.

Since the dumping of the garbage, Su Jing has cleaned up about a quarter of it. There are four sacks of valuable things that have been sorted out, and their combined value is absolutely not cheap.

In addition, he had also recovered Six or Seven Wall-Es, but none of them could be activated. They looked like scraps of copper and iron. Of course, Su Jing did not give up hope and prepared to wait for dawn to take them out.

“What is this?” Su Jing picked up a piece of “Glass” of about half a meter long. It was dark black and translucent, surrounded by borders, and one side was connected to a stretchable branch. Su Jing flipped it around for a moment and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He took out his phone and turned on a video screen. Then, he put the “Glass” on top of the phone, and the video of the phone suddenly appeared on the “Glass”, and it was also directly enlarged to the size of the “Glass”, like a computer screen.

“It’s really a magnifying screen. Wali liked to use it to watch videos, but it doesn’t seem to be very useful. If someone wants to zoom in, they can just use a mobile phone or a computer to see it. However, it is good for the collection.” Su Jing feels that this magnified screen does not have much practical value and has no value in R&D and production, but after all, it is a technology that is not available in modern times, and it looks very and interesting so he decided to collect it first.

He continued to sort out the garbage, he found a lot of electrical appliances, many of which are not available in modern times. Unfortunately, most of them are tattered and some are even rotten. They have become a pair of scrap copper and rotten iron.

In a blink of an eye, the sun rose and Su Jing put the newly discovered Wall-E’s in the sun, but they still did not start, which made Su Jing quite disappointed. After he had breakfast, he went to see Zheng Xiaoyun.

In an office, Zheng Xiaoyun meets Su Jing and he calls Tao Zhong. Tao Zhong is an honest looking 30-something middle-aged man with a lot of beard and hair in a disordered state. Zheng Xiaoyun had apparently discussed the things with him and he successfully terminated the contract between them and Tao Zhong signed a confidentiality agreement with Su Jing.

“Mr. Tao, I would like to invite you for a cup of coffee. Would you do me this favor?” Su Jing said.

“Mr. Su is polite. There is a good coffee shop nearby. Shall we go there?” Tao Zhong.

“All right.” Su Jing nodded and said to Zheng Xiaoyun, “I will talk to Mr. Tao and see you another day.”

“You guys talk, call me if you have any questions.” Zheng Xiaoyun said. Of course, he knew why Su Jing asked Tao Zhong for coffee, they are going to have a conversation between them.

To be honest, he was originally worried that the termination of the contract would arouse Tao Zhong’s disgust towards him, but after seeing Tao Zhong’s reaction, he felt relieved. Tao Zhong reacted better than he expected and is still extremely loyal to Zheng Family. So, even if Su Jing wants to convince Tao Zhong, he is not afraid.

“Hmph hmph, I lost the bet and I have fulfilled my promise, but I have already hinted tot Tao Zhong that he doesn’t have to work so hard in Su JIng’s Research Institute. He will come back in ten and a half days. I have nothing to lose.” Zheng Xiaoyun watched as Su Jing and Tao Zhong leave his office and he smiled.

In a deserted cafe, Su Jing and Tao Zhong sat facing each other by the window.

“Mr. Su, I probably guessed your intentions, but let me tell you the truth, Zheng Family is kind to me and I will not waste too much time in your Research Institute.” Tao Zhong is obviously a loyal and honest type of person. He doesn’t want to deceive Su Jing so he explained his thoughts straight to the point.

To Tao Zhong’s surprise, Su Jing seemed to have expected him to be like this. He chuckled and said, “It’s okay. There is no time limit in the Confidentiality Agreement. When you want to return to the Zheng Family, it’s your freedom to do so. I have heard that many big companies are poaching you at high prices, but you rejected them every time. I am curious about what kind of kindness Zheng Family did to you to make you so loyal to them.”

“Hehe, Zheng Family is very kind to me. If you are not in any hurry then I would tell you.” Tao Zhong said.

“I am listening.” Su Jing nodded.

“You probably don’t know that my family was very poor when I was a child and my dad was a gambler…” Tao Zhong whispered. The story of his family is not so tortuous and vivid, but it is very real. Anyone can read it from his words and they would realize his pain from back then.

When Tao Zhong was young, his father became addicted to gambling, and he finally lost all his family savings in gambling and he became more and more irritable. After losing the money, he went home and took Tao Zhong and his mother with him. He vented his anger on his mother, beating and scolding her.

Even when Tao Zhong’s mother finally made some money, it was snatched by him to gamble and in the end, she lost everything.

Tao Zhong’s Mother was overwhelmed, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and she even tried to commit suicide. Fortunately, Tao Zhong found out in time and she survived. After the Doctor’s examination, he said that Tao Zhong’s mother was suffering from Anorexia and Depression.

But perhaps it was because for her son as Tao Zhong’s mother persevered, working her way through the day to support the family. One day, Tao Zhong’s father broke into someone’s house to steal for money, he was found when he killed the owner and was eventually caught by the police and sentenced to more than 10 years in prison.

Tao Zhong and his Mother’s life seemed to get a little better, but Tao Zhong’s Mother’s Anorexia and Depression did not slow down, but became more and more serious, accompanied by Insomnia and suicidal tendency.

Tao Zhong knew that this would not work, but he was only in his Third Year High School at that time, and his ability to do anything was still very limited. Even if he dropped out of school and went out to work, his mother would not be happy, and the pressure in her heart might become even greater.

And that would cause his Mother to fall deeper in her Anorexia and Depression. Besides, if he dropped out of high school to work, he would be able to make some money but how could he afford a good doctor with that measly amount of money? How can Severe Anorexia and Depression be so easy to cure?

At that moment, the Zheng Family found him and took a fancy to his ability. Not only did they help him pay for his tuition, but they also sent his Mother to a good hospital for treatment, which resolved the crisis they were having. Without the Zheng Family, I’m afraid there would be no Tao Zhong’s today.

“Now you should understand. You made a mistake. I will not leave the Zheng Family.” Tao Zhong said.

“As far as I know, your Mother’s Anorexia and Depression is not completely cured, right?” Su Jing said.

“Oh, I’m not talking about this anymore.” Tao Zhong sighed. His Mother’s Anorexia and Depression did not completely heal. Back then, his Mother loved his Father very much. Later, his father got addicted to gambling and ruined the family. Ruining the love between them and giving her these diseases, how can it be easy to get rid of?

Someone has followed a 10-Year study of Anorexia and Depression Patients and found that 75% to 80% of patients have multiple relapses. The more severe the relapse, the greater the chance of recurrence. With current medical skills, it is difficult to say that if Anorexia and Depression can be completely cured.

Tao Zhong also tried his best to create a good environment for his mother and tried his best to make her happy, but the effect was not very good. Most of the time, his mother just laughed for him and it was always a forced laugh.

“What if I can cure your Mother’s Depression Anorexia?” Su Jing suddenly smiled.

“What are you talking about?” Tao Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes burst out with a sharp light.
