The nostalgia in Shi Heng's eyes had not yet faded when Si Wenjie's urging voice rang out from outside the door, "Heng, the international conference can't be delayed any longer."
The man on the screen pursed his lips helplessly, "Youbao, I'm going to a meeting first. You should go to bed early and don't stay up late."
"Well, don't be too tired." Gu Youran waved his hand, watched the video call end, and the screen gradually dimmed.
Lying on her back on the bed, all she could think of was Shi Heng's tired face that was forcing a smile.
This guy must have stayed up late again!
She sat up suddenly, looking out the window at the dark night, and a thought came to her mind:
Go find him in Shanghai!
I want to see him right now.
See if he doesn't take care of himself for the sake of work.
Without any hesitation, Gu Youran grabbed her phone and opened the ticket booking app.
There are still tickets available for the next red-eye flight to Shanghai, and the departure time is 2:00 a.m.
Dial the phone, "Mark, I'm going to the Magic City now."
Mark on the other end of the phone was stunned for half a second, then he stepped into the role of bodyguard, "Madam, I will arrange the car and plane tickets right away."
"Okay, by the way, don't tell Shi Heng, I want to give him a surprise."
Mark was silent for a moment, thinking of his boss's attitude of wanting to put his wife in his pocket. This surprise might make his boss lose his composure on the spot.
But he still responded respectfully, "Understood, ma'am."
…
Five thirty in the morning is when people are most sleepy.
But the laboratory on the third floor of Pujiang Center was brightly lit.
Shi Heng stood in front of a huge electronic screen, his suit jacket casually draped over the back of his chair, his tie loose, his eyes bloodshot, but he was still staring at the neural map on the screen.
Chen Mingyuan and Professor Howard gathered with their teams, and several of them were arguing fiercely over a data model.
"This synaptic regeneration simulation curve is still not stable enough!"
Chen Mingyuan pointed at the screen and said, "In three days, even with the Noah team's participation, if we don't break through the bottleneck of basic theory, it will be useless to improve the success rate!"
Howard pulled up a new set of data. "Chen, look at the reaction curve of this special sample! This could very well be the breakthrough we need!"
Shi Heng raised his hand and rubbed his brow. Just as he was about to speak, the door of the laboratory was gently pushed open.
Mark walked in, followed by four bodyguards carrying two huge insulated boxes.
A gentle voice followed, "Mr. Shi, would you like to try the breakfast in the Magic City?"
"Youbao?!"
Shi Heng turned around abruptly and looked at the person at the door in shock, unable to believe his eyes.
He quickly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, his strength so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. "Why are you here? When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?"
A series of questions, with incredible surprises.
"I missed you." Gu Youran buried herself in his arms, her heart aching. "Look at you, you didn't get enough rest."
The researchers around were stunned.
Seeing that this powerful Mr. Shi had become so soft in an instant, they all exchanged shocked glances.
Chen Mingyuan opened his mouth wide, looked at Gu Youran, then at Shi Heng, and suddenly seemed to understand something, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Anderson looked at Gu Youran with interest. Who was this lady who could make Shi Heng lose his composure like this?
Gu Youran blushed as she broke free from Shi Heng's arms. When she looked up and saw the two people next to her, she was stunned for a moment.
"Professor Anderson?! Professor Chen Mingyuan?!"
As a doctor who has worked in top international hospitals, how could she not know these two leaders in the field of neuroscience!
Especially Anderson, even his teacher Professor Mike praised his achievements!
"Do you know us?" Chen Mingyuan asked in surprise.
“Professor Anderson is a legend in neuroscience, and I’ve read Professor Chen’s paper on neural remodeling countless times!”
Gu Youran couldn't hide her excitement and looked at Shi Heng in confusion, "You acquired the Pujiang Center just to... invite them to do research together?"
Shi Heng's eyes flickered, his Adam's apple rolled violently, and he subconsciously looked at Si Wenjie who was not far away.
That look was filled with warning.
Si Wenjie saw this scene, and his hand holding the coffee suddenly trembled. He immediately understood and continued with a bitter face: "This matter... is mainly for my Yining."
"She's always wanted to integrate top resources for research, so she kept pestering me... Ah Heng felt sorry for me and helped with the acquisition. Yes, it was all to please his wife!"
This reason sounds reasonable.
Gu Youran had no doubts, but only sighed: "Sister Yining is really courageous, but..."
She looked at the room full of instruments and the team working hard, "This is quite a big deal."
In order to divert her attention, Shi Heng pulled her aside and said distressedly: "Are you tired from flying? Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early..."
"I brought you some breakfast," Gu Youran pointed at the insulated box. "I bought it door-to-door from a reputable store. It's still warm. Everyone, take a break first!"
The bodyguard opened the box, which was filled with a dazzling array of goods:
Crab roe buns, pan-fried buns, wontons, soy milk, rice balls...
There is also sweet osmanthus lotus root wrapped in tin foil, which is Shi Heng’s favorite sweet.
The fragrance instantly filled the entire laboratory.
The researchers who had been working all night had bright eyes and their stomachs were growling.
"Let's have breakfast first." Shi Heng clapped his hands.
Everyone sat together and relaxed for a rare moment.
Gu Youran sat next to Shi Heng, peeled the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root from the tin foil, and handed it to him.
Shi Heng took it, a glint in his eyes, "Did you buy this specially for me?"
