"It's just" Cheng Shi said solemnly:
"They're not willing to sign the contract right now. They say they need to first assess our company's ability to develop tumor-targeted agents. After all, our company's qualifications are still limited..."
"Hmm?" Gu Boyan frowned.
Although Gu Boyan's company was established only a few years ago, it has the most advanced technology, equipment, and research team in the country.
Since its establishment, it has made remarkable achievements in developing innovative new drugs for various diseases and has long been a leader in the pharmaceutical industry.
Since S Company has already chosen them, they must have already conducted an investigation, so why bother with this?
Every minute of drug innovation is a race against time. If someone develops a drug a second before you, or applies for a patent a second before you, the loss of value will be immeasurable...
"What needs to be investigated?" Gu Boyan asked.
"S Company gave me a project." Cheng Shi handed over the documents sent by the other party.
"This is a completely new field that has never been explored in China. It's a brand-new drug molecule. We need to determine the optimal synthesis route within ten days and submit the final product to them for inspection at the contract signing meeting to assess whether we are capable of doing it."
Gu Boyan bent his index finger and tapped it on the desk, just like the second hand of a clock ticking.
Finally: "Do as they say"
"But..." Cheng Shi was a little angry.
"These ten days are a deliberate hindrance! Just identifying the structure of this compound, which has no reference, will take several days!"
Compared to Cheng Shi's extremely angry expression, Gu Boyan's expression was very calm. He said:
“If we can’t even do this, why would anyone choose to work with us?”
Gu Boyan looked at Cheng Shi, his tone filled with unquestionable firmness.
“Believe in our R&D team and believe in ourselves”
"Notify the entire company to hold a meeting at 8:00 to arrange the specific matters. Other project teams will assist the R&D team and work tirelessly to develop the compound sent by S Company within the next ten days."
Gu Boyan paused the tapping of his index finger, and the sound was exceptionally steady and powerful in the office.
"Whether we have the ability to tackle this problem is not determined by what they say, but by the data."
"Yes." Cheng Shi's heart beat slightly, and most of the fatigue from the whole night disappeared.
He had just turned around and was about to go downstairs to make arrangements when he was stopped by Gu Boyan.
"etc"
Cheng Shi turned around in confusion, "Mr. Gu"
Gu Boyan frowned and suddenly asked:
"Why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"
“…”
In an instant, all the ambitious work ethic that had gathered in my chest vanished.
Mr. Gu's simple words shattered it into pieces without leaving any residue.
It was like the chicken blood that had been injected had expired, and the fatigue of the body finally became noticeable.
After several seconds, Cheng Shicai said with a forced smile:
"Could it be because I stayed up all night, almost 24 hours without sleep?"
How can the dark circles not be heavy? !
Even if the national treasure stood in front of Cheng Shi now, I guess even its mother wouldn’t be able to tell who the national treasure was.
Gu Boyan frowned even deeper and asked in a deep voice: "Then why don't I have it?"
“…”
oh.
You didn't, so what?
You are so beautiful that the moon and flowers are ashamed, and you are still as beautiful as ever even if you stay up late, right?
If it weren't for the fact that President Gu's unhappy expression didn't seem fake, Cheng Shi would almost think that he was being pretentious.
Listen to what he says, is it human language?
The key point is that Cheng Shi opened his eyes wide and found that his Mr. Gu had stayed up all night, but his face was still as handsome, suave, elegant and handsome as ever!
There really isn't even a hint of dark circles.
"..." Even though he had been the eunuch for so long, sometimes Cheng Shi still found it difficult to guess the emperor's intentions. He had no choice but to ask,
"Excuse me, Mr. Gu, what do you need black eye for?"
If it could be transferred, Cheng Shizhen wanted to donate his dark circles to President Gu without saying anything.
Oh, his wife’s can also be given to Mr. Gu, free of charge.
This will prevent my wife from staying up late every day and applying a facial mask to remove dark circles.
Unable to get rid of it, he raised his little fists and beat Cheng Shi up.
"..." Gu Boyan clenched his fist, put it to his lips and coughed, saying:
“Who wants dark circles?”
Cheng Shi thought to himself, whoever didn’t have dark circles under their eyes and looked lost just now, would want it.
In the quiet office in the early morning, two people, one sitting and one standing, stared at each other for several minutes.
Cheng Shi gave him a look that said "I'm all ears" before he heard Gu Boyan's slightly uneasy question.
"So... didn't you say your wife would feel bad for you staying up late? Um... how did she find out?"
"Huh?" For a moment, Cheng Shi didn't understand what Gu Boyan was saying.
He said blankly, "No, I stayed up all night and my face looked like I was going to die. The dark circles under my eyes are heavier than a giant panda's. Anyone who is not blind can see that."
"What's more," Cheng Shi was a little proud, with his mouth raised high.
"My wife loves me so much that she can tell immediately if I look a little unhappy."
"Then..." Gu Boyan asked again, "What if there are no dark circles?"
"ah?"
!
Cheng Shi was confused at first, but suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, and he finally realized something slowly.
He finally understood why Emperor Gu had dark circles under his eyes!
So you're afraid that your wife won't find out, that he's worked hard all night and hasn't slept all night, and you can't feel sorry for him and hug him to comfort him, right?
"..." But after all, Cheng Shi had been with Gu Boyan for such a long time, and he had seen all kinds of storms.
He immediately did his duty and helped Mr. Gu solve his problem and came up with a good idea.
…
Chen Nian'an and Mu Xin stayed up all night, and the next day they both got up with dark circles under their eyes and went to meet Yang Zhi at the private restaurant in the city center that they had agreed to meet yesterday.
Sitting in the back seat of the G-Class, Chen Nian'an took out the cell phone from his bag.
After yesterday's tragic lesson, she has now developed a good habit of reading information.
When I clicked on the WeChat page, several contacts with red dots came into view, but unfortunately it was not Gu Boyan.
It’s Liu Xuanxuan.
In her previous life, Liu Xuanxuan had always maintained a fake best friend relationship with her.
But every time Chen Nian'an felt depressed and sent a message to Gu's house, she would dismiss him by saying that she was busy with her career and was trying to find a way to rescue her.
Now that she thought about it, Liu Xuanxuan rarely looked for her except when she had no choice or when she periodically instilled bad things about Gu Boyan. Her impatience and dislike for her were almost blatant.
When Chen Nian'an woke up early in the morning, he was in a good mood and didn't want to spoil the fun, so he didn't click on the unread message sent by Liu Xuanxuan.
I casually swiped my finger across the screen and clicked into the circle of friends.
At that moment, Chen Nian'an paused, widened his eyes, and stared at the phone screen in disbelief.
The faint blue light clearly reflected the shock in her pupils.
