Chapter 32 Chapter 32 The flowers that gentleman gave you

Taking advantage of the time before dinner, Liu Mianmian made a few more bottles of chili water using the ingredients she had prepared long ago.

Shen Weiyun was reviewing while holding a book while watching. Liu Mianmian guessed that she didn't review much either.

After all, she gave timely feedback on every step of making the chili water, either exclaiming "They really use these things", sighing "This doesn't look difficult", or wondering "Will it really be uncomfortable to splash this on your face?" She spent much more time staring at Liu Mianmian than at the review materials.

Finally, Liu Mianmian couldn't help herself and asked her, "The scores for medical school are not low, right? Are you confident?"

Speaking of studying, Shen Weiyun raised her chin and said confidently, "Of course I'm confident. I'm my brother's sister, a genius, so I shouldn't be that bad."

Liu Mianmian glanced at Shen Weizhou, who was leaning back in a rattan chair with his eyes closed, and asked, "How are the classmates at school, that talented girl Shen Weiyun?"

She lowered her voice: "Is there anyone you dislike or like?"

Shen Weiyun uttered an "Ah!" and her face flushed when she realized what was happening. "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Liu Mianmian said seriously, "Isn't this perfectly normal for young people? However, the college entrance exam is only two months away. Once you get into college, you'll have plenty of time to think about this carefully, right?"

Shen Weiyun stole a glance at his brother standing nearby, his voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Sister-in-law, you're not much older than me, why are you talking like our principal? I know, I know. I'm completely focused on getting into university, becoming a doctor, and treating my brother."

Liu Mianmian was a little touched. The little girl was a little spoiled, but also very simple. She wanted to be a doctor just to cure her brother.

That strong sense of disobedience came again.

In the original book, Shen Weiyun was a love-brained person. When the college entrance examination was approaching, she fell in love with a male classmate and was discovered. Somehow, this matter became a hot topic in the school. Shen Weiyun could not bear the pressure, and with accidents happening one after another at home, she jumped from the school dormitory building the night before the college entrance examination.

But the girl clearly wanted to get into a difficult medical university, so why would she be in a relationship with a boy at this critical moment?

Moreover, no matter how Liu Mianmian looked at it, she felt that Shen Weiyun was not the kind of person whose head was full of love and had a messy brain.

Judging from their personalities, Shen Feifei seems to have a better chance of becoming a love-brained person than Shen Weiyun.

"Then do your best." Liu Mianmian handed her the prepared chili water. "Put it in your schoolbag. If you ever run into a bad guy, throw the whole bottle at him and run away immediately. If you can't run away, kick him in the groin. In short, don't be polite. Remember the four-word mantra: run fast, ruthlessly and accurately."

Shen Weiyun happily took the pepper spray and said, "Okay, run quickly and accurately."

Neither of them noticed that Shen Weizhuo, who was sitting on a rattan chair not far away, twitched his mouth slightly.

The next day was Monday again, and Shen Weizhuo went to the research institute early in the morning.

Their institute was a classified unit, but unlike some other research institutes, it was located in remote, uninhabited areas. Instead, it was located in the heart of Nancheng City, with a sign that read "Nancheng Mechanical Research Institute." From the outside, it looked unremarkable. What was a little unusual was its strict security and proximity to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Shen Weizhuo's office is on the second floor. His window faces a small garden behind the institute building. Across the wall is the basketball court of the Public Security Bureau of the neighboring city. Occasionally, he can see public security officers sweating on the court.

There were four people in the office. Compared to Shen Weizhou, the other three were older and had more experience. Fan Sui had glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. Deng Hong liked to put hairspray on his hair. The only female comrade was Zhang Guihua, the eldest sister.

As soon as Shen Weizhou entered the office, Sister Zhang greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Shen, you're here. You seem to be in good spirits lately. They say that people are in high spirits when they are happy. It's really different after getting married."

Deng Hong adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "It's true."

Shen Weizhuo nodded to them as a greeting, then took the thermos on his desk and went downstairs to get some water.

After he left, Fan Sui raised his head from behind the mountain of documents, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "I see that he is not sick at all. He just draws a salary every day without going to work. He is just relying on his father and grandfather."

Sister Zhang and Deng Hong exchanged awkward glances. Deng Hong laughed dryly and said, "That's not the case. He wasn't in good health when he joined the institute. The previous director personally asked him to come over. We agreed at the time that he wouldn't have to work. Besides, he didn't receive his full salary. It was calculated based on the number of days he actually worked."

However, his research results are not less than those of those who sit in the office all day. If calculated by output, Shen Weizhuo is actually losing money with such a low salary.

Fan Sui said coldly, "You could skip work when you weren't feeling well then, but now that you're better, you're not going to work either? What kind of research can you produce if you're only working for three days and resting for two?"

Just then, Shen Weizhou came back carrying a thermos. Sister Zhang immediately changed the subject, pointing out the window and saying, "Hey, are there new people next door? A group of young people are playing basketball. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, being young is great. Youth is the best time of your life."

Fan Sui glanced at Shen Weizhuo. He didn't care whether Shen Weizhuo heard what he said. In fact, he would be happy if Shen Weizhuo heard it and argued with him. It was just right that he had a lot to say and wanted to get it out.

But Shen Weizhuo remained calm and just picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water without even looking at him. Fan Sui was angry and felt that he was wasting his time, so he lowered his head in anger.

Shen Weizhuo stood in his seat and glanced out the window. Sure enough, there was a group of young people playing basketball on the basketball court next door. They were all in their twenties and looked full of energy.

Somehow, he suddenly thought of what Liu Mianmian said to Shen Weiyun yesterday: Young people, isn't this the most normal thing?

Before saying this, she asked Shen Weiyun if there was anyone he disliked or liked at school.

It is normal for young people to have someone they like.

That's what she meant.

Shen Weizhou felt inexplicably irritated and said coldly, "They are just a bunch of young boys."

Zhang Guihua really didn't expect Shen Weizhuo to pick up her conversation. Although there were four people in the office, in fact, the only ones who could chat with her were her and Deng Hong. As for the other two, one was always looking at materials, and the other either didn't show up or was immersed in his own work when he showed up. It was rare for both of them to pick up the conversation like today.

It was like both of them were angry.

Zhang Guihua laughed dryly: "They are young, but they are just a bunch of young boys."

In fact, in her opinion, Shen Weizhuo is not much older than those young guys outside. He is just more talented and has strong business capabilities. If he didn't often not come to work, he would not actually sit in the same office with them.

Zhang Guihua knew that the institute had originally arranged an independent office for him, but he refused, saying that he could not work in the office normally and did not want to waste the institute's resources.

The office became quiet. After a while, Deng Hong stood up and said to Zhang Guihua, "I'm going to the laboratory building," and left. After a while, Zhang Guihua also stood up and walked out.

Shen Weizhou paused as he flipped through the documents, then pulled out a report from a drawer. He stood up, walked over to Fan Sui's desk, and threw the report in front of him. He said, "Comrade Fan, aren't you curious about what research I can come up with? This is a report I wrote a while ago. You can take a look."

Fan Sui was interrupted by him and was about to curse. However, as his eyes swept over the report in front of him, the curse words on his lips immediately stopped. His expression suddenly became a little excited. He glanced at the report and then looked up at Shen Weizhou: "This report has not been submitted yet. Aren't you afraid that I will steal your research results?"

Shen Weizhou looked at him and said, "I have a new idea and am working on it. This thing is not important."

Fan Sui was startled, his expression showing a bit of anxiety: "Can the new one..."

He wanted to ask if he could take a look at the new report, but then he realized that it was still being refined, so how could he show it to others? So he changed his tone and said, "When you submit it to the institute, can you let me know?"

Shen Weizhou nodded: "Okay."

Fan Sui immediately said, "I apologize for what I just said."

If he had known earlier that this was Shen Weizhuo's research direction and that he had made such great progress, he would have had no objection to Shen Weizhuo not working in the office, let alone not going to work every day.

As long as Shen Weizhuo can overcome this technical bottleneck.

Shen Weizhou glanced at him and said, "Yeah."

When Zhang Guihua and Deng Hong came back, the office was still quiet. One was looking down at some documents, and the other was writing and drawing at his desk. Outside the window came the sound of basketballs hitting the ground and occasional cheers and laughter.

On the other side, Liu Mianmian arrived at the western restaurant early.

As soon as the cashier Arlene saw her, she smiled mischievously and took out a bunch of large roses from under the counter and handed them to Liu Mianmian: "These are flowers for you from Mr. Li."

Liu Mianmian looked helpless: "Didn't you tell him that I won't accept it?"

Mr. Li is a businessman from Gangcheng. He has recently been staying at the Overseas Chinese Hotel, the best hotel in Nancheng. Because he thinks the steak at the Overseas Chinese Hotel is not authentic enough, he traveled a long way to eat at Zhijiang West Restaurant.

When he heard Liu Mianmian playing the piano in a western restaurant, he was amazed and insisted that Liu Mianmian had the potential to be a star. So he sent flowers and songs to Liu Mianmian every day and persuaded her to go to Hong Kong to "develop".

Liu Mianmian had no idea how he managed to get a bunch of roses every day in South City in the 1980s.

Moreover, she had clearly rejected him and told him that she was already married and could not leave her hometown to develop in Hong Kong, nor was she interested in going there. However, he acted as if he had not heard anything and continued to do his own thing, giving her a bouquet of roses every day without fail.

Arlene imitated Mr. Li's tone: "It's just a bouquet of flowers. Giving flowers to beautiful girls in Hong Kong is very common. If Miss Liu doesn't accept it, you can just throw it away. As long as she knows I gave it to her, it will be enough. There is an old saying in China that sincerity can move mountains and open rocks. As long as I am sincere enough, Miss Liu will definitely be moved. She is a natural-born superstar, I can see it at a glance. Hahahahaha..."

As she learned, Arlene couldn't help laughing.
