Chapter 203 Mom, Lanlan, why don’t we… tonight

There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year.

The laboratory building is always brightly lit.

Xu Jialan was wearing a white coat, and her long hair was tied into a low ponytail at the back of her head with an exquisite hairband. The mask blocked her face, revealing only her cold eyebrows and eyes. She lowered her eyes to look at the experimental instruments.

She spoke in a moderate tone.

Several researchers followed him.

They all held notebooks in their hands and recorded the experimental data.

Someone couldn't help but sigh, "The conditions of this experiment are truly extremely harsh. We've already failed over a dozen times and haven't even gotten the most core ingredient."

The other researchers also looked worried.

Xu Jialan looked calm as he quietly adjusted the equipment.

Gu Ziwei, standing by, closed his notebook and glanced at the others. "The process of drug research and development is inherently a protracted battle. If an anti-cancer drug could be developed in just a few months, why would the Medical Bureau refuse to approve it?"

After hearing this, everyone understood this truth.

But repeated failures still make people feel frustrated and powerless.

After Xu Jialan adjusted the parameters, he turned around and said, "Everyone has worked hard recently. The New Year is coming soon. Everyone, please collect the experimental data and send it to my email. If there is nothing important, you can take a break. We will continue the other experiments after we return after the New Year."

Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with obvious surprise.

"Can we have a holiday so soon?"

"Professor Xu, why don't we just stay busy until the end of the year?"

"Yeah, we're all used to staying in the lab anyway."

Gu Ziwei smiled. "What's wrong? Didn't you look so shocked just now? Why are you so energetic now?"

"It must be different when I hear that we can have a holiday during the Chinese New Year."

One of the researchers spoke very honestly.

After all, they have made preparations and will stay in the laboratory during the New Year.

Xu Jialan's eyebrows softened a bit, and he chuckled, "There are holidays, so don't feel stressed. When you need to work, work hard, and when you need to rest, rest at ease."

Seeing this, the others stopped refusing.

We stay in the laboratory all year round. It's a rare opportunity to have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, so we definitely want to go back.

"Then Professor Xu, I will send you the experimental materials later."

"Yes, us too. We'll send it to your email once it's sorted."

Xu Jialan nodded, "Okay."

She packed up the notebooks and data on the table, walked out of the laboratory and headed towards the office.

Gu Ziwei followed her and said, "Junior sister, you have been busy for many days in a row. Why don't you go back and rest early?"

Xu Jialan took out his cell phone from his pocket and turned on the screen.

Shen Xichuan didn’t send her a message.

She put away her phone and said, "Okay, Senior Brother, you should go back early too. We can start the rest of the work after you come back after the New Year."

Gu Ziwei smiled, "Okay, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year."

…

After leaving the experimental building, Xu Jialan received a call from the Shen family as soon as he got into the car.

"Lanlan, are you done with your work?"

Mrs. Shen’s voice came from the car Bluetooth.

Xu Jialan curled his eyes, reached out to grab the seat belt, and said as he fastened it, "Mom, I just finished my work. What's wrong?"

"So, can you take a break?"

Xu Jialan hummed, "Okay."

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, then you should come home. I will send a message to Xiaochuan. The New Year is coming soon. Don't stay alone all the time. Ningning is already home. You are the only one missing."

She knew that the closer it got to the end of the year, the busier the fire department would be.

I also know that Shen Xichuan hasn’t been home for several days.

That's why I called to ask Xu Jialan to go back.

Hearing this, Xu Jialan agreed without much thought.

"I understand, Mom. I'll go back and pack some things and then go home."

"Okay, Mom will ask the kitchen to prepare something for you to eat."

Xu Jialan smiled and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, she thought about it, sent a message to Shen Xichuan, and drove back to Xinghu Bay.

There was already some spare clothes in the Shen family villa that Mrs. Shen had specially prepared.

You don't actually need to bring any luggage.

She went back to Xinghu Bay specifically just to pick up the New Year gifts prepared for the Shen family.

When she arrived at Shen's house, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Except for Madam Shen and An Yuening, no one else was in the villa.

Xu Jialan was stunned for a few seconds, then put the gift down and asked, "Where are Dad and Big Brother?"

Mrs. Shen took her hand and led her in the direction of the restaurant. When she heard her mention the two of them, she couldn't help but complain.

"Where else could it be? These three fathers and sons are all the same. They're always gone when they're busy, as if they don't worry at all about us women being at home."

Complaints are complaints.

But he still asked the kitchen to prepare hot soup and hot meals for them.

An Yuening drank the bird's nest and nodded in agreement, "All men are bad."

There was a clear smile in Xu Jialan's bright eyes, and he pulled out a chair and sat down next to her.

"You said this, aren't you afraid that Big Brother will know?"

The last time she came back to the villa, she just went downstairs to get some water, and she heard her bestie say this in the living room downstairs. Then, Shen Yankai hugged her legs tightly and carried her easily on his shoulders back to the room.

As for what I did after returning to the room.

We are all adults.

No need to explain too much, everyone can understand.

An Yuening didn't know what scene she was thinking of, and her expression froze for a moment.

After a few seconds, she snorted coldly, "So what if he heard it? What else can he do to me?"

Xu Jialan smiled, said nothing, and drank the hot soup quietly.

Maybe Shen Yankai has been too busy recently and neglected her, and the rebellious factor in An Yuening's heart began to become restless.

She finished the last sip of the bird's nest and looked at the two women beside her.

"Mom, Lanlan, why don't we..."

…

Shen Group.

After the meeting, Shen Yankai and the head of the Shen family walked out of the meeting room and were about to leave the company and return to the villa.

At this time, Shen Yankai received a call from his bodyguard.

After he heard this, his eyebrows twitched and his face turned dark in an instant.

Patriarch Shen turned sideways and saw that he looked a little strange. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? Is Ningning angry with you again? Remember to comfort her when you go back later."

Shen Yankai put away his phone, slowly turned his gaze to the head of the Shen family, and then spoke a few words.

The next second, the head of the Shen family's expression also changed.

The two of them walked quickly into the elevator, one after the other.

The senior executives following behind inevitably heard what Shen Yankai said just now.

The group of people looked at each other in confusion.

I never thought that the eldest wife, whom I hadn't even had the chance to meet, would dare to be so rebellious.

It was quite surprising.

Along the way, the black Rolls-Royce, whose noble aura could not be concealed, was speeding on the road in the dark.

There was a huge crowd of people at the entrance of a bar in the southern part of the city.

Suddenly, the Rolls-Royce braked slamming in front of the door with obvious anger, forcefully interrupting the noise.

Everyone looked over subconsciously.

I was dazzled by the string of identical license plate numbers.

The next second, the driver's and passenger doors were pushed open at the same time.

Two men who looked similar got out of the car.

The same deep eyebrows and eyes carry a bit of the aura of a superior.

Many people outside recognized the identities of the two men at a glance.

Shen Yankai glanced at the environment at the door and happened to see a very familiar Porsche parked not far away.

The vein on his forehead throbbed.

At this moment, the cell phone in my pocket rang.

He took it out and answered the call, "Hello, Xiaochuan."
