Chapter 395: Difficult as Ascending to Heaven
A dead silence spread here, and Chen Zhuyi could certainly understand his feelings.
But that doesn't mean she has to put up with Pete's trouble-making.
Everyone has to pay the price for what they do, right?
"Of course you can disagree, but I don't know... with Miss Aretha's personality, would she be willing to take in someone who goes back on her word?" Chen Zhu smiled and tried to sow discord.
She was watching here, and Bosco Wong was even more angry and left. Even if Aretha wanted to take in Pitt, she couldn't do it so directly.
Aretha seemed a little anxious and said, "We will keep our promise. We will not retain dishonest employees."
Seeing the eagerness that flashed across those eyes, Chen Zhuyi stood aside more calmly, his arms folded across his chest, everything under control.
However, Pete clenched his fists, looking unhappy. If his eyes could spit fire, Chen Zhuyi would have no doubt that he would have been burned to death long ago.
"Mr. Pete certainly doesn't have to do what he just said, but we will find more people to serve as witnesses." Chen Zhuyi smiled and put pressure again.
She must get this talent. Even if she can't convince Pete, there will be other people who can bring him back to the country so that she can have a chance to try!
Peter took a deep breath and reluctantly uttered the words of surrender: "Of course I accept the loss!"
The words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth, making Shen Zhuyi nod in satisfaction. Her eyes uncontrollably looked towards the laboratory where Huang Zongze was.
If you want to communicate with other seniors, you still need a few middlemen to help build bridges. Given the personalities of Aretha and others, they may not be so open-minded.
"Do you want to discuss something else?" Mo Cuilin asked softly as he looked at Chen Zhuyi who was staring at other people's R&D room.
In a place like this, ordinary people would have to think twice before even entering. If she insisted on going in to take a look, Mo Cuilin would have no choice.
Fortunately, Chen Zhuyi would never do such an embarrassing thing. She shook her head slightly and walked outside on her own initiative.
Mo Cuilin breathed a sigh of relief, waved goodbye to Aretha and the others, and then trotted after them.
The rumbling sound of the machine sounded again. Mo Cuilin frowned in disgust, but took the initiative to open the door and signaled Chen Zhuyi to go in directly.
"Why are you here?" Chen Zhu asked as he leaned back in his chair in a haphazard manner as soon as he got in the car.
While driving, Mo Cuilin watched Chen Zhuyi's performance through the rearview mirror and sighed helplessly: "He didn't come, are you disappointed?"
"We are already an old married couple. There is no need to worry about such a small matter. I am just a little curious. Even if you don't answer me, we can find out the situation when we meet later."
Chen Zhuyi rolled her eyes rather rudely. Even though she made it clear, she was not as kind to Mo Cuilin as she was to other people in Hong Kong.
However, Mo Cuilin didn't care much about it.
"He can't get in. For a factory like this, you need an invitation to get in. I'm a bit familiar with them because I've been here a few times before."
When talking about these things, there was a rare solemnity in Mo Cuilin's tone. After all, Aretha brought Chen Zhuyi here, as if to send a signal. Before long, they might become the target of public criticism.
Chen Zhu nodded randomly, as if she had heard what was said. She closed her eyes and treated Mo Cuilin as a driver.
The car finally arrived at the destination. Chen Zhuyi got out first. Without waiting for Mo Cuilin to help her open the door, she glanced at the people in the factory. They were all people sent by Mo Cuilin and others to work, but there was no sign of Huo Jinzhi.
A cloud of doubt rose in Chen Zhuyi's heart. He took two lazy steps and waved his hand in front of a laborer: "Where is Mr. Huo who came with me?"
"He went out for some urgent matters and told us that he will be back tonight. I hope you can rest assured." The man in charge next to him spoke immediately.
He seemed to know about it, but even if Huo Jinzhi had something to say, he couldn't tell these people in person. Chen Zhuyi had to suppress his doubts and go back to rest.
Her health was not very good to begin with, and coupled with the busy schedule she had been running around for a while, it was rare for her to have a chance to catch her breath, so she fell asleep.
In a daze, Chen Zhu heard the sound of a door opening and someone approaching. The familiar breath with a hint of gunpowder made Chen Zhu open his eyes in an instant and grab the clothes of the person who came.
Even though he was not yet conscious, caring words came out of his mouth: "Did you fight with anyone?"
"No, I passed by a gunfight scene on my way back." Huo Jinzhi rubbed his chin against Shen Zhuyi's head in a soothing gesture.
Chen Zhuyi breathed a sigh of relief and hugged him tighter. He hooked his arm around Huo Jinzhi's neck and was unwilling to let go. His voice became softer: "What have you been doing?"
She had a lot to say, but she was more concerned about Huo Jinzhi's actions first.
"An old professor contacted me, but the process was rather complicated. His every move was under surveillance. I visited him for a short while before he was forcibly escorted out."
Huo Jinzhi spoke briefly and to the point, never mentioning the danger involved.
Even a young lady like Aretha would use body searches to ensure that everything around her is under control.
If the officials of the Lighthouse Country take action, they will definitely go even further.
"By contacting you in advance, aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy and affecting the plan in the end?" Chen Zhu curled his lips and asked with concern.
They had to be careful in their plans and actions this time to avoid being caught by the enemy.
If the old professor knew about this, he should have tried his best to cooperate with them, but he actually took the initiative to look for Huo Jinzhi!
"What method did he use? How did he invite you over? And how did he explain your identity?"
When he thought of the risk of being exposed, Chen Zhuyi's tone became a little more anxious, and he blurted out a series of words, with the worry in his eyes even more unshakable.
"The old professor's surname is also Huo. He said he was a distant relative and came here to give gifts. The ferry from the port city sometimes also brings some gifts for professors."
Huo Jinzhi explained quickly, patting Chen Zhuyi's back soothingly, coaxing her to calm down as soon as possible.
"That's good!" Chen Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and nuzzled Huo Jinzhi's chest again. "So how much information did you gather today?"
There was an irrepressible joy in her tone, as if she was waiting for praise. Huo Jinzhi couldn't help but hug her a little tighter and said in a deep voice: "After understanding the situation, it's difficult to let them go."
