Chapter 54 Love Moon·054 "Xiao Zhiyan...
The person who came was He Changda.
Duan Zeming had already stood up from the sofa and asked him to come in: "Come and find Director Yan to do the drug ingredient identification. We——"
"We can't do it. Please call Director Yan."
As soon as the words came out, the other two were stunned, especially He Changda, who swallowed the question after seeing who was speaking.
The three of them were in a stalemate, each standing in a corner.
Duan Zeming didn't know what happened. He only saw that Xiao Zhiyan looked very unhappy. He smiled at He Changda and moved over: "What's wrong? Do you know him?"
Xiao Zhiyan glanced at him, his cold face frosted, but he didn't say to him: "Mr. He, please go back."
Yan Feng asked the two to help He Changda, and did not tell them the other party's name, only gave them the phone number. Now that Xiao Zhiyan knew his last name, he knew him, but in Duan Zeming's opinion, this level of acquaintance might be due to enmity.
The atmosphere was awkward, and he tried to smooth things over: "I think——"
"I didn't know it would be you." He Changda finally spoke, "But I am your director's friend after all. If you say you won't help me, you won't be able to explain to the director, right?"
Xiao Zhiyan said coldly: "This is my business."
"Your business? I think it's really for Hatsuyue."
Duan Zeming, who was trying to stop the fight, was stunned: "What does it have to do with He Chuyue?"
Seeing that he also knew him, He Changda's expression became interesting. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Xiao Zhiyan: "Zeming, where did you put the key to the director's office?"
I don't know how the topic changed so quickly. He said "oh" and took the key from the coffee table. "Here."
"Yes." Xiao Zhiyan turned off the computer and walked out, leaving no room for doubt. "Lock the door."
"Ah? This..." He looked at the person standing at the door, "What should he do?"
Xiao Zhiyan glanced at He Changda with a cold face: "If you want to be locked in overnight, I have no objection."
"you!"
He Changda saw that he was really serious and couldn't hold back any longer. He said angrily, "Just wait and see how I tell your director!"
The hurried footsteps left, and the office fell silent again, as if no one had been there.
Duan Zeming looked at the person at the door. The floor also reflected his figure, standing straight and upright, like a tree that would not sway.
His expression was tense and his aura was still there. Duan Zeming knew that he was angry.
"Are you... okay?" he asked as he opened the door.
Xiao Zhiyan seemed to be thinking about something. He took two seconds to turn around, his eyes darkened: "I'm fine. Sorry, I will explain everything to Director Yan."
"Ah, these are all trivial matters. It's just that person... do you really have a grudge against him?"
His brows were still furrowed, and he just nodded slightly in response.
Guessing it might be a family matter, Duan Zeming didn't say anything. He locked the door and the two went downstairs together.
-
In the HC meeting room, Wang Feng's eyes darkened. "I reviewed the debt cases of the past two years and found that there are many such cases. I never thought that one day, my daughter, Wang Feng, would be deceived. What's the point of being a professor of law, but my daughter is illiterate. If I tell others about this, won't others laugh at me?"
He Chuyue took a deep breath, looked at Wang Feng's graying hair, and said nothing.
When she was in school, she knew that her teacher was very strong-willed and had a certain status in the legal community. Many unsolved and difficult cases became so easy in his hands, and it seemed that he could easily turn the situation around with just a flick of his fingers.
Whenever she mentioned that she was Wang Feng's student, the other party would show an expression of trust. He Chuyue was proud of this when she was a student. She felt that there were no difficult cases in the world and that teachers were like gods.
So Wang Feng's defeat at the moment made her feel disappointed, but she also thought that it was understandable that he was like this when it came to her relatives, so she comforted him: "Teacher, when will you have time to send me Zhenzhen's case? This case... let me try."
-
At home, He Chuyue went into the study after dinner.
She browsed through the case-related information sent by Wang Feng, and felt that some of the logic did not make sense, but it made sense when she read it in order. She took the time to comb her hair, and when she looked up again it was almost nine o'clock.
During this time, Xiao Zhiyan came in and the warm milk he brought her had now turned cold. She reached out and touched the wall of the cup, then stood up while holding it.
She came out of the study and didn't see anyone. She put the milk in the microwave and heard a sound. She saw Xiao Zhiyan coming out of the bedroom with a cell phone.
"Are you done?"
"I guess so. I can't finish it today anyway."
Putting his phone down, he walked closer.
He Chuyue explained: "It's cold, warm it up."
"Come." He pulled the person out of the kitchen. "The microwave oven emits radiation when it is heated."
"oh."
The two changed positions, with Xiao Zhiyan standing between her and the microwave. He Chuyue curled her lips and leaned closer to him, "I feel so tired today."
"Shall I rub your waist?"
She shook her head, "Just hug me."
Xiao Zhiyan smiled and hugged her.
Smelling the scent of shower gel on his body, He Chuyue sniffed: "Did you take a shower?"
"Um."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
He raised an eyebrow, "I told you that when I gave you the milk."
She blinked. Xiao Zhiyan tightened his grip around her waist, "You forgot again?"
"Sorry, I may not be able to hear the surrounding sounds when I am busy."
"There's nothing to be sorry about."
He looked at the person in his arms, his eyes drooping. He was hesitating on how to tell her about what happened this afternoon in a way that wouldn't be awkward, when he met her bright eyes.
"Xiao Zhiyan, can you help me take a bath?"
"Um?"
...
Of course, she didn't take a bath, because when He Chuyue saw Xiao Zhiyan rolling up his sleeves and about to take off her clothes, she got scared and changed her plan of taking a bath into washing her hair.
He brought a chair for her to lie down, while he sat on the other side to test the water temperature, with Latte watching beside her.
The sound of running water became the only sound in the bathroom. He Chuyue looked at the ceiling and tried to find a topic to talk about: "Should we take some time to take wedding photos?"
"Okay, I'll ask mom and aunt later."
He moved the shower head over and wet a lock of her hair. "Is this temperature okay?"
"Can."
The appropriate water temperature gradually wrapped around her scalp, and the hand on top of her head gently inserted into her hair, making He Chuyue slowly close her eyes comfortably, and she almost fell asleep under the prepared blanket.
"Teacher Xiao, were you Tony before? Your technique is so skillful."
His eyebrows curved, "Then how about holding an annual meeting?"
She opened her eyes and looked at him: "Could it be that you really did it? I'm scared by your skillful words."
His smile deepened, he turned off the water, took the shampoo and rubbed it in his palms: "Don't be afraid, if you are satisfied, you are welcome to come next time."
He Chuyue giggled, startling Latte at the door.
It lazily raised its eyelids and walked away, wagging its tail.
She suddenly asked, "Do you have any news about Wang Zhen?"
Xiao Zhiyan's calm voice came from above: "No, why did you think of asking her?"
"The teacher who came to see me today was Wang Zhen's father. He was my supervisor when I was a graduate student."
He was silent for a few seconds and turned off the water. "What a coincidence."
He Chuyue tilted her head and looked at him: "Is this what you want to say?"
He also tilted his head, and his frank look, which was more honest than the sun and the moon, made He Chuyue lose interest in bringing up the past.
Her neck felt sore, so she looked away and lay back down. "The teacher asked me to take over her case, so I did."
Xiao Zhiyan hummed and encouraged: "Don't be too tired."
"No more?"
"Um?"
"I thought you would ask more about her condition, or let me take care of her more."
Knowing what she was thinking, Xiao Zhiyan pinched her nose lightly: "Chu Yue, I only talked to her a few times."
She knew it, of course, but her heart still made her ask this question.
As expected, once she starts to care about someone, she will care even if the girl has had a relationship with him before.
He Chuyue felt that she was really petty. She sighed secretly and her thoughts drifted away and she began to daydream.
The temperature of her body rose, and with the floor heating and the blanket on her body, her eyelids became heavy, and she fell asleep while talking.
Xiao Zhiyan fiddled with her hair much more gently, allowing her to sleep peacefully.
About ten minutes later, he took a towel and wiped her hair, startling her when he carried her to the bed.
He Chuyue was still dazed in her sleep, and just grabbed his hand and pulled him into the quilt. The force was so great that Xiao Zhiyan couldn't stand steadily, and he had to hold on to the bed to steady his body.
The close distance allowed him to smell the scent of shampoo. He tried to take her hand away but failed. He curled his eyes and coaxed her, "Chu Yue, let go and blow dry your hair first."
He Chuyue hummed reluctantly and held his hand tighter.
Xiao Zhiyan had no choice but to move closer so that she didn't have to lift her arms so high. He said in a gentle voice, "Be good, blow dry your hair and then sleep together, okay?"
Finally, He Chuyue let go and let him take the hair dryer to blow her hair.
The noise dispelled some of her sleepiness. She squinted at the glaring light from the ceiling and suddenly murmured.
The hair dryer was turned off, and Xiao Zhiyan asked, "What did you say?"
"It's okay." She looked up at him and smiled, "What are we having for dinner tomorrow night?"
"How about pork rib soup?"
"Okay, pork rib soup."
-
The next day, He Chuyue received the list of people handed to her by Chen Xu. Just as she opened one page, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Wei at the door said hurriedly, "I found the experimenter who withdrew from the cooperation because his family member was hospitalized. We have an appointment to meet in the morning."
"......"
While driving to the coffee shop, He Chuyue looked at the person in the driver's seat and couldn't help but sigh at his high efficiency. Suddenly, a sense of crisis made her full of fighting spirit.
Xiao Wei, who was concentrating on driving, paused while stepping on the accelerator, slightly tilted his head to look at the person who was suddenly fully charged, and a look of confusion flashed across his face.
After parking the car, the two walked towards the coffee shop. On the way, Xiao Wei introduced her to this person's background: "He is a Chinese American who settled in Canada thirteen years ago. In the same year, he became the chief director of the ADR laboratory. Eight years later, he withdrew from the main project due to age reasons. He couldn't accept the gap and resigned. He worked in the current laboratory, which is a laboratory under Mingchan Pharmaceutical."
When He Chuyue saw this message, she thought it was a coincidence, because the laboratory that developed drugs similar to Mingchan Pharmaceutical was ADR.
ADR's senior employee worked for Mingchan Pharmaceutical, but left the project for some reason, and the project results were similar to those of the competitor. The seemingly innocent person who has no proof of presence but has connections with both laboratories is actually a strong suspect.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, He Chuyue remembered to ask the other person's name.
Xiao Wei: "Congratulations, Changda."
She stood still and saw the man sitting at the empty table.
