Chapter 245 My manners always vary from person to person.
Ji Ying's weak and helpless expression vanished instantly. Without any fear, she pulled a slender voice recorder from her coat pocket and tossed it onto his desk.
"During the recording process, it will automatically send the new gadgets to you remotely every minute."
Xu Zhaoheng paused briefly as he passed her, then continued towards the bar.
"Old classmate, you've become quite the celebrity since yesterday. This isn't fair. Want something to drink?"
"I'm already full from all the anger you give me, why would I want to drink anything?"
Ji Ying sat down in the chair in front of his desk.
Xu Zhaoheng was amused by her words, made her a cup of milk tea, and placed it in front of her.
"Ruo Fu isn't usually like this. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Ji Ying looked at the milk tea cup in front of her, but did not pick it up to drink.
"You mean, I'm her hormone, and the moment she sees me, she acts like she's on steroids and reveals her true colors?"
Xu Zhaoheng laughed again at her words.
"She was such a quiet girl in high school, how come she's so sharp-tongued now? Lin Yan doesn't know how to raise his younger sister."
"You probably forgot that my manners are always different for each person."
Xu Zhaoheng closed his eyes and bowed with his hands clasped.
"Grandma, I give up, I give up, okay?"
Ji Ying raised her chin slightly. "Then let's get down to business."
Xu Zhaoheng nodded with a serious face.
Ji Ying blinked. "You really like Shen Ruofu?"
Xu Zhaoheng almost fell off the chair.
"Is this considered serious business?"
Ji Ying nodded, "An opening statement related to serious matters."
Xu Zhaoheng was completely convinced, but his response was quite subtle.
"In small towns, people talk about love and romance, but in a place like Beijing, you have to look at each other's bargaining chips first. If you can include love and romance, that would be even better."
Ji Ying secretly marveled at the mate selection criteria of this auspicious place, and couldn't help but think of Liang Yizhi.
He also grew up in such an environment, but he...
Ji Ying quickly collected her thoughts, a sly smile playing on her lips.
“I’m going to edit your girlfriend’s amazing performance into a short video and post it on the Qing Sui account with the title ‘Unveiling the true face of the Shen family’s adopted daughter: the behind-the-scenes story of the ‘New Life Project’ is so unsavory.’”
Xu Zhaoheng knew she was serious, so he stopped smiling.
What do you want to achieve?
"Through my friend's heart application."
“Old classmate, this is a threat, and I can retaliate in the same way.”
Ji Ying laughed, "It doesn't matter. Your confidence comes from your ability to prolong human life, while the things I create can help certain devices create everything, and also destroy everything. Isn't this world about the strong ruling? You might not be able to offer me this toast."
Xu Zhaoheng was silent for two seconds after hearing her words, "We don't need to be like this between us."
Ji Ying looked away. "I've worked so hard to get to where I am now, and I don't want to suffer anymore."
Xu Zhaoheng shook the mouse to wake up the computer.
What's your friend's name?
"Xiao Xia, your people went to Kun City this month to conduct a physical examination on her."
Xu Zhaoheng looked in the application list, but it wasn't there.
It must have been at Shen Ruofu's behest that the applicant's name was removed.
But the information has been checked and is still in the database; it just takes a little time to retrieve it.
Xu Zhaoheng said calmly, "A heart grown from transplanted autologous cells does not have rejection reactions, but it is not suitable for everyone. I cannot answer your question immediately whether she can pass the test until I have analyzed her various data."
Ji Ying looked at him without saying a word.
Xu Zhaoheng leaned back in his chair. "I guarantee that I will analyze your friend's data fairly and objectively, and draw the truthful conclusions."
"Your credibility with me is only valid once, so cherish it."
Xu Zhaoheng gave a helpless smile. "Classmate, don't talk to me like that. I'm not used to it."
Meanwhile, Madam Shen had been sitting in Shen Ruofu's office for a long time.
She checked the time. "How much longer until Zhaoheng arrives?"
"I'll call him and ask."
Shen Ruofu was also unhappy, wondering what the two were talking about in the office for so long.
But as soon as she took out her phone, Madam Shen stopped her, saying, "Never mind, don't disturb his work. Please give this box of ginseng to him for me. Your grandfather has been saying that you two haven't come home for dinner together in a long time. Are things alright between you two?"
"No," Shen Ruofu said without changing her expression.
"Then you should all go home and have dinner together when you have some free time."
After saying this, Madam Shen got up to leave.
On the other end, Ji Ying showed no mercy to Xu Zhaoheng's overtures.
She stood up. "If you hate someone because of them, you'll have to suffer for now."
Xu Zhaoheng burst out laughing.
He offered to take her, but Ji Ying refused, saying, "Go and let my friend review the information. I need your reply as soon as possible."
Xu Zhaoheng knew her independent nature and nodded, "Next time you come, just say you're looking for me. The receptionist won't stop you."
Ji Ying nodded. "You did a good job. I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Xu Zhaoheng smiled again.
Ji Ying opened the door and walked out alone.
On Shen Ruofu's side, she touched the doorknob before Madam Shen.
The door had just been opened a crack when Ji Ying happened to pass by.
Their eyes met.
Ji Ying's position prevented her from seeing what was happening inside her office.
Madam Shen was about to walk over.
Shen Ruofu glared at Ji Ying and slammed the door shut.
Ji Ying paused for a moment, then cursed "You're sick" and left.
Shen Ruofu clutched her stomach and squatted down on the ground. Madam Shen quickly stepped forward.
"Ruofu, what's wrong?"
"Mom, my stomach suddenly hurts."
Madam Shen quickly helped her to sit down on the sofa.
"Perhaps she drank cold water this morning for convenience," Shen Ruofu said, frowning.
"You already have a cold uterus, how can you eat cold food in this season?"
Madam Shen quickly poured her a glass of water.
"You and Zhaoheng will have a baby soon after you get married, so you have to take care of your health."
Shen Ruofu slowly finished drinking the water, assuming that Ji Ying had already gone far away, and only then did her stomach "stop hurting".
"Okay, Mom, I'll be careful. Let me take you there."
She stood up and took her arm.
"Are you really alright?" Madam Shen was still very worried.
Shen Ruofu smiled and said, "The water that Mom pours can heal all of my pain."
Madam Shen laughed at her words, "It seems that you and Zhao Heng are doing quite well. A woman's words are only sweet when she is pampered."
“Mom,” Shen Ruofu opened the door, “Brother-in-law seems to be very busy in Kun City and doesn’t like to come back to Beijing. Aizhu has been much more depressed since she came back last time. Please keep an eye on her.”
Madam Shen patted her hand as she walked.
“Liang Weiyue called a while ago, saying he would come to Beijing to visit after he finished his work. I guess he probably wanted to talk about Aizhu’s marriage. Your father and I were both very surprised that Yizhi had a woman over there. But as for the truth, I will ask him personally when he comes back before making a decision.”
Madam Shen frowned slightly as she spoke.
"The Shen family will never tolerate infidelity. Others may euphemistically call a mistress a 'second wife,' but in the Shen family, that is absolutely impossible."
Shen Ruofu nodded. "Actually, my brother-in-law has always been very upright and self-disciplined. If he really made a mistake, it's because the other party's methods were too clever."
Madam Shen wanted to say something more, but at that moment the elevator arrived.
So she advised, "You and Zhaoheng must take good care of each other. When two people are together, being devoted to each other is fundamental; it's more important than anything else."
"Don't worry, Mom, we're fine."
As soon as Shen Ruofu finished speaking, the elevator doors closed.
The smile vanished from her face instantly, and she turned and strode quickly toward Xu Zhaoheng's office.
The parking lot downstairs.
Jiang Ran was eating candied hawthorns in the driver's seat. There were still two left. Ji Ying got in the car and didn't rush her, waiting for her to finish.
"So, did the recording make Shen Ruofu listen to my every word?" Jiang Ran asked while eating.
Ji Ying stared unfocusedly at the windshield. "I don't want to use the recording to control anyone. I just want to fight for a fair chance."
Jiang Ran turned to look at her, but before she could say "yes," the elevator doors opened not far away, and the respectful voice of the receptionist from Huansheng Biotechnology came through.
"Madam Shen, please take care."
