I've lost my love and my child, it's really unfortunate.
Unfortunately, the whitetip shark is not a protected animal. It is a marine fish that can be raised by amateur enthusiasts. Just like the poor Chinese rural cat, if it dies, it is dead. There is no legal punishment. Some people may even come up and sneer at it: It is dead, it is a pity, but forget it. Can an animal be more precious than a human life?
The moment Lu Wan appeared, Chen Jinli's expression went straight from "angry" to "furious".
Gou An could fully understand why emotions could escalate again the moment he saw the culprit.
Some people are always like this. When they make a mistake, they dare not admit or explain it immediately. They know that sooner or later the truth will be revealed, but they just want to cover it up and delay it for a second...
They never considered that covering up the truth might make the situation worse.
For example, if Gou An hadn't thought about how terrible Lu Wan's report would be today, and stretched his head to take a look at the two fish cubs, when Chen Jinli slowly finished the meeting and returned to the research institute, he might only be able to catch up with the two fish cubs to collect their bodies at the same time.
You have no idea what's going on in the minds of these people. When they mess things up beyond repair, they put on a bitter face and admit that they were wrong, hoping someone will come to clean up their mess...
If you accidentally imagine how they thought they were very smart when they were trying to survive, you will really want to slap them in the face.
For example, Chen Jinli and Lu Wan at this moment.
Lu Wan's legs seemed to be weak. This was probably the first time in his life that he had gotten into such a big trouble.
The incident with Gou An doesn't count. After all, although she is a rich lady, she can't do anything to her except vent her anger...
But Chen Jinli is different. He is not an easy person to deal with.
The internship report will be recorded in the school attendance and archives.
Moreover, Chen Jinli's academic status in Jiangcheng is too high. After what happened today, if Lu Wan wants to develop in the industry in the future, he will not be able to escape his supervision. If he offends him, Lu Wan may not be able to move forward in the future.
Just thinking about this is enough to make this little white flower heroine tremble.
She was really scared. When she entered the monitoring room, tears started falling without her even opening a word. Her hair was long, straight black and had not been specially styled. It fell softly on her shoulders, which made her crying look even more pitiful.
Her lips trembled, she glanced at Chen Jinli, and then quickly looked away.
Gou An pulled He Jinxing and said, "Just wait, she's about to start apologizing. She apologizes very quickly."
As expected, the next second, Lu Wan said in a crying voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry——"
Gou An: "'I didn't mean it'."
Lu Wan: "I didn't mean it."
Gou An: "Tsk tsk tsk."
When Gou An rolled her eyes, Chen Jinli, who was sitting in front of her, looked back at her. The murderous look in his eyes clearly said: If you say another word, you will also end up in the trash can at the door.
Regardless of whether Gou An understood Chen Jinli's meaning or not, He Jinxing understood it anyway. He reached out, grabbed the hood of the radiant person watching the fun in front of him, and lifted her behind him like a chicken.
The person behind him popped his head out and he pushed her head back.
At the same time, he stood still like a mountain, raised his chin expressionlessly at his angry friend and said: I'm sorry, my parents didn't teach me well enough.
Chen Jinli turned his head back.
Lu Wan then cried and slowly explained: "Around four o'clock in the afternoon, I saw that the two white tip shark pups were not in good condition. They swam very little and their mental state was not right... Then I saw that the water was very turbid, so I wondered if they were lacking oxygen or if there was something wrong with the water quality-"
"I thought", "I want", "I wonder", these are just different explanations.
But Chen Jinli is not Gou An or Jiang Yuan. This guy is not kind at all. He was too lazy to listen to such nonsense halfway through and interrupted her directly: "You have so many problems at first glance, why don't you call for help?"
Lu Wan choked up and said, "I thought it was a small matter. The water in the seawater tank is not deep. I can just add some water and wait for you to come back and report."
Chen Jinli looked around.
Gou An guessed that he was looking for weapons.
Unfortunately, he didn't find it, so he stood up and kicked the chair he was sitting on.
The chair fell to the ground with a loud bang!
Everyone present gasped and looked at each other in bewilderment. The staff of the institute looked as if they wished they could just disappear right there...
Only Gou An hid behind He Jinxing, as if he was hiding in a safe house watching the night parade of a hundred demons outside: Yeah, so fucking exciting!
Lu Wan jumped up in shock the moment the chair fell down. She really took a big step back like a frightened deer, tears streaming down her face. She could only apologize tremblingly, "I'm sorry, Professor Chen, I apologize to you. I really didn't mean to do that. I didn't expect the temperature difference between the two seawater tanks to be so big—"
Chen Jinli: "What the fuck are you talking about! Huh? Can the growth environment of adult white-tip sharks and juvenile white-tip sharks be the same? You didn't expect that? Is your mind full of shit? This is the number one in the Ocean College of Jiangcheng A University! Why the fuck are you number one! Why!"
The man's roar almost blew off the ceiling.
Everyone was stunned. After all, in their impression, Chen Jinli always spoke calmly and slowly. Although he did not have the strong forced downward social atmosphere like Mr. He, he was generally easy to get along with.
They had hardly ever seen Chen Jinli scold anyone.
No matter how big a mistake you make, all you have to show for it is next month’s pay slip or the year-end evaluation report.
It can hardly be said that Professor Chen now is cursing. It would be more appropriate to say that he is going crazy.
Lu Wan was completely terrified, his lips trembling, his eyes widened in fear, and his whole body was in a defensive posture.
"You didn't even call anyone after you realized something was wrong! You just stood there and watched. Lu Wan, if you had even a little bit of respect for a life, this respect would be able to overcome your fear of punishment and help you make the right decision!"
Chen Jinli grabbed the folder on the desk in the monitoring room and threw it at the girl not far away. "You are not fit for this job. Change your career as soon as possible. Get out!"
With a "bang", the folder hit the person who was turning sideways. The folder loosened and the papers inside scattered all over the floor.
Be gentle and considerate to women?
If Chen Jinli knew what it meant to be gentle and considerate to women, he would not think that dealing with fish is more pleasant than socializing with people.
Today, Lu Wan hit the wall of human nature——
She meets this lunatic who has "yes that's right my fish are worth more than your cheap life" written all over his face.
At this moment, Chen Jinli's eyes were red, probably because he was very angry. He didn't care about his image and hooked one foot over another chair to sit down. He supported his knees with his hands, lowered his head, and breathed heavily.
Lu Wan was so frightened that his soul left his body. He huddled at the entrance of the monitoring room with one hand on the door handle. He looked so small and fragile that he seemed to have turned into a speck of dust in the universe...
After a few seconds, her legs finally seemed to go weak, her eyes widened, and she slowly slid down the stairs.
Chen Jinli calmed his breath, raised his head and looked at her: "I'm serious."
Lu Wan shuddered.
Chen Jinli: "It's not too late now since you are a sophomore. I advise you to change your major as soon as possible."
Lu Wan suddenly raised his head and opened his tearful eyes wide: "Professor Chen!"
Chen Jinli: "I'll give you ten seconds to get out of my institute, otherwise you'll find that your internship report is so brilliant that everyone will want to take a second look at it."
Lu Wan: "Professor Chen! I'm really sorry! I——"
Chen Jinli: “Nine.”
Lu Wan: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I apologize to you! I will compensate you for your loss! Even if I have to use all my money——"
Chen Jinli: “Five.”
Lu Wan: "Please don't chase me away. I really like this major and I want to do well in it. Being admitted as your graduate student has been my goal since I graduated from high school—"
"Time's up, don't say I'm rude."
Almost the moment the man finished speaking, five or six security guards rushed in and directly pulled Lu Wan up from the ground.
She struggled, but unfortunately, even when she was held and dragged out by several people, she still didn't understand that no matter how many apologies she made, she couldn't bring a dead life back to life.
And as the saying goes, whether it is tears or apologies, they are worthless if they are too many. If a person says "I'm sorry" too many times, it will only make people think that she will really do it next time.
She was sorry only that she was caught this time and expressed regret for the mistake.
The door of the monitoring room was slammed open and then slammed shut. The whole process happened so fast that Gou An didn't even have time to take out his mobile phone, open Tencent Music, and play the song "Good Days" on loop as background music for the farewell.
She thought: Half a year ago, when she was at my house, why didn't I think of asking the security guard to drag her out? Chen Jinli, it has to be you.
It was already time to get off work. Professor Chen, who had just finished going crazy, waved his hand and pardoned all the trembling staff on duty at the institute, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Chen Jinli left the duty room and immediately went down to the basement to check on his fish son. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the gills of the only remaining fish were still moving. He stretched out his hand as if to hold the fish tank.
The fish tank filled with water was as heavy as it could be. He tried to lift it but failed. He turned around and stared at He Jinxing in silence. The latter sighed and said, "I haven't even eaten yet," and rolled up his sleeves to help him move the fish tank.
Finally, the sea tank was placed in Professor Chen’s office.
Back in the office, He Jinxing seemed very familiar with the environment. He easily found Chen Jinli's tea leaves and kettle and made him a cup of tea.
Chen Jinli frowned, took off his glasses and threw them on the table.
He took a sip of tea and burned his mouth, and swore angrily.
"Have you considered going to burn some incense?" He Jinxing said, "I lost my love and my son, it's really unlucky."
Chen Jinli looked up at him, then looked at Gou An, who was sitting next to him with his hands in his pockets, pretending to be stupid, and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
He Jinxing's eyebrows did not move: "Watch you go crazy, and then leave after you're done."
Gou An, who had been silent throughout the whole process, now wanted to survive and emphasized: "He is him, I am me, and I am here only to take responsibility for the disastrous consequences caused by my temporary job change."
This is as hypocritical as it can be.
If she were really asked to take responsibility, she would probably just lie down and roll around on the spot.
He Jinxing glanced at her and said calmly, "I'm lying to you. She just wanted to see with her own eyes how wonderful your internship report to Lu Wan is."
Chen Jinli: “…”
Chen Jinli: "Get out! Get out!"
"Okay, get lost." Gou An quickly stood up and pulled her fiancé over. "Professor Chen, remember to eat dinner tonight. We won't disturb you anymore."
He Jinxing stood there without moving.
After a moment of silence, when Chen Jinli raised his eyebrows and looked at him, asking, "Why don't you just get out of here?", the man suddenly asked, "Do you want to raise a killer whale?"
Chen Jinli: “?”
Gou An: “?”
"Don't you want to build a marine life museum by the sea and also build a killer whale protection and research base on a scale of one hectare near the sea?" He Jinxing said, "I approved it."
Gou An’s mind was stuck for three seconds.
She never imagined that this circle is a closed loop, and she would still be jealous of Chen Jinli in this life.
As Professor Chen's expression gradually calmed down behind her desk, she pulled her fiancé over and said, "Your uncle dotes on his father! Why didn't you show any appreciation when my cat died? If you don't get me a tiger from the Northeast, this matter will be very difficult to resolve!"
He Jinxing: "We have known each other for many years. Isn't it normal to pack a funeral bag when a child is lost in middle age?"
Gou An: "Haven't you also been secretly in love with me for many years?"
He Jinxing: "Hmm? No."
Gou An threw away his hand and turned away.
After she pushed open the office door and rushed out, He Jinxing slowly lowered the sleeves of his shirt that were rolled up to his elbows, then raised his eyelids and glanced at the person sitting behind the desk.
“You didn’t specify.”
"...What?" Chen Jinli asked.
"You didn't specify that Gou Anlai was the one feeding the fish, so this matter has nothing to do with her."
“…”
"Don't go crazy."
After saying these three words, the man walked out slowly. When he got outside the yard, he saw the man who had left long ago standing in front of his car, bending over, scratching the cow on the car logo with his hands. The security guard stood in the security room and looked around, wondering whether to come over to stop her.
He Jin walked up to the person, put his big hands around her waist, picked her up and stuffed her into the car.
"I'm leaving."
"Hey, aren't you having dinner with Chen Jinli?"
"...That's about it."
The lights were already on.
After getting in the car and fastening his seat belt, Gou An seemed to come back to his senses.
She took out her phone and took a look. Qianjintuan was tagging her crazily in the group chat, asking her what happened to Lu Wan.
How come everyone knows about this matter when it only took 20 minutes to move a fish tank?
Gou An went to the school's internal forum and took a look. A big headline jumped into her eyes at the beginning: [Gou An's cat incident happened again. Some people were harmed by being tolerant once: Lu Wan was finished].
Just reading the title makes me excited.
He Jinxing drilled in when he came in, and drilled out when he went out under the watchful eyes of the security guards. When he turned around, he saw the person sitting in the passenger seat with a happy face, and he couldn't stop the joy from overflowing on his face.
He sneered.
Gou An raised his head from the phone screen and glanced at him: "Why are you laughing so sarcastically again?"
"You looked so frightened just now," He Jinxing said, "but now you look happier than the Olympic mascot."
"Oh." Gou An blinked, "I don't know why, but with you here, I feel like I suddenly have unlimited courage."
"OK."
"…What's your reaction?"
"If you were sent to Myanmar to commit telecom fraud, you would be the top seller in the park."
"Bah, no."
Really not.
Gou An turned his head and looked out the window, thinking.
This time there is still a little bit of truth... although it's just a little bit! (End of this chapter)
