In 1985, the year before last, the World Health Organization issued a global warning about a disease called mad cow disease.
It is said that after contracting it, a person will become stiff and dull, and eventually suffer from mental derangement.
Chen Rou heard three days later that Nie Yao was suspected of having mad cow disease. She came to Nie's company, quietly pushed open the door to Boss Nie's office, and tiptoed to his ear. She heard him say to Chen Ke, "That is Nie Yao's good fortune."
Chen Ke asked, "Should we take him to the hospital for a check-up?"
Nie Zhao said, "If it doesn't affect your mission, then go ahead, but I remember that almost all the hospitals in the Philippines are owned by pirates. You should think about it yourself."
Leading by example is quite effective in education, because Chen Ke said: "I think he is quite normal today. He wrote a very good press release. Anyway, I don't think he is crazy, and there is no need to do a check-up."
Chen Rou had no idea that from the moment she parked her car in front of the building, from the doorman to the receptionist, and then to the secretary running upstairs to report to the boss, everything had been going on. So Boss Nie knew all along that she was the one eavesdropping. He thought to himself that his fragile husband was a bit too naive; she had been listening for so long and he still hadn't noticed.
Just then, Nie Zhao suddenly pressed speakerphone, and Chen Ke's voice was played out: "Regarding what your wife mentioned the day before yesterday, after I came back, I specifically inquired with a few comrades. Since Western medicine isn't working, why don't you try traditional Chinese medicine?"
Nie Zhao smiled and said, "Go ahead and speak."
“Of course, you can’t trust traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but I’ve heard that there’s a highly skilled doctor at Shenzhen People’s Hospital who is particularly good at treating women’s health. Since your wife is anxious about not being able to conceive, I’ll give you his name, and you can take her to see him,” Chen Ke said.
Before he finished speaking, Chen Rou suddenly stood up straight, while Nie Zhao said gently, "Since it's her wish, I'll follow her lead and cooperate fully."
Chen Ke murmured, "Once you're married, you should have a child. Have one soon, I'll be waiting for your good news!"
Chen Rou turned to leave, but Nie Zhao, who clearly wasn't looking at her, suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand from behind.
She struggled, he grabbed her, she struggled again, he grabbed her again, but in the end Nie Zhao let go.
But after hanging up the phone, he said seriously, "Actually, we can consider turning off the umbrella service first."
But seeing Chen Rou frown, he immediately added, "Of course, although I'm sure we can have a baby with super high intelligence, the uterus is in your body, and so is the right to reproduce."
Even setting aside the present, in the future, most men will not have as clear a understanding of reproduction as Mr. Nie. Of course, he may just be pretending, but it is commendable that he can say that the right to reproduce belongs to women.
Chen Rou went to the company specifically to see Boss Nie, of course, because she had something urgent to discuss.
Secretary An pushed open the door and came in, smiling as she handed Chen Rou a can of iced cola. Seeing that she was standing, she quickly pushed over a chair from the bookshelf that was exactly the same as Nie Zhao's boss chair: "This is your special seat, Third Madam."
Then Nie Zhao asked, "Why didn't you help Third Aunt move a chair?"
To be able to go directly from being Nie Rong's secretary to becoming Nie Zhao's secretary, Secretary An is truly the most remarkable person in the Nie family.
His way of doing things is something most people can't learn. He doesn't bother people much, and he won't even open a can of Coke without permission. Moreover, he knows that iced Coke will condense when it comes into contact with air, so he puts a special can cover on the Coke.
To Chen Rou's surprise, when she picked up the Coke can, she noticed that the can cover was embroidered with the pinyin "chenrou".
So this is considered her exclusive item?
Actually, Nie Zhao also has them; his coasters have a fancy letter Z on them, and they also appear on his pens and sticky notes.
Chen Rou has been a wealthy wife for a long time, and even has a well-decorated office here. But even though she has seen it all, she still sheds tears of poverty and naivety when it comes to various details.
Let's leave that aside.
Because what happened at the sea sand plant was so serious, Chen Rou and Liang Lisheng had been conducting a thorough investigation for the past few days, starting with the new mobile phone that Nie Jiajun had given to Nie Zhao.
Actually, it shouldn't be called a "big brother" (大哥大); it should be called a mobile phone.
It is now 1989. In this year, a small portable phone, only the size of a palm, with a flip-down cover and a keypad inside, was invented. But now it costs more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Not to mention that ordinary people can't afford it, just like the future iPhone, ordinary people can't buy it even if they have the money.
Although she found the radio transceiver in the communications tower, she still suspected that there was something wrong with the small mobile phone, so she went to several mobile phone repair shops to disassemble it and check it through inspection.
Currently, there isn't one, because it has only just been produced and there are no matching eavesdropping devices yet.
However, during the investigation, Chen Rou discovered a suspicious point. When she called Nie Jiajun, he mentioned a boy named Guo Fuzheng, who was said to be an electronics enthusiast like him. Since this phone was only available in the United States, and Nie Jiajun did not dare to go to the United States without his uncle's approval, the phone was actually purchased by Guo Fuzheng who went to the United States to buy it for him.
Hearing this, Boss Nie frowned: "There's no such thing as a free lunch, especially for a kid like Jiajun. He probably thinks that Guo guy is so carefree, able to leave whenever he wants and fly all over the world, but I guess..."
Chen Rou laughed: "You guessed right. Guo Fuzheng's father only got rich in the last two years by investing in stocks. He's nicknamed Guo Xiaobai. By the way, he also tried to poach Uncle Liang. That... was the gift he gave to Uncle Liang."
Liang Lisheng filled a basin full of cigarette ash into what he called an 8,000-year-old antique.
That stuff not only smelled bad, but it was also poisonous. It caused an allergic reaction in Boss Nie, making his skin itchy and making him feel uncomfortable all over for two days. He only felt a little better today. He also brought the basin back, and it's on the bookshelf in his office.
Guo Xiaobai, a newly rich man, unknowingly started dating Nie Jiajun. So, do they have any connection with the pirates? How did a newly rich man who just came from the mainland get the audacity to mess with an old Hong Kong family?
Nie Zhao said, "It seems it's time to bring Vice Chairman Liang back to work. He's more familiar with Hong Kong."
In fact, Liang Lisheng was right outside the office at that moment, waiting for his return.
He exchanged pleasantries with Secretary An: "You're quite the clever fellow, aren't you? You're probably capable enough to keep the job until the young master takes over, right?"
Secretary An quickly calculated: "I'm only 35, still young. If the Third Wife is born next year and takes over at 20, I'll be exactly your age, in my prime."
"You're amazing, you've served three dynasties." Liang Lisheng gave a thumbs up.
