"How about it? Do you want to consider it?"
Zhou Mo almost didn't think twice and immediately extended his hand, "Happy cooperation."
Han Chen lowered his head to look at the plain hand in front of him, curled his lips slightly, and reached out to hold it.
Zhou Mo thought that the handshake would be over, and was about to pull her hand back, but she found that her hand was held tightly by Han Chen. She even felt that the moment she pulled her hand back, Han Chen increased his strength.
She looked at Han Chen in confusion.
Han Chen let go instantly.
"Didn't you say you were my enemy? Why are you agreeing so readily now?"
"Aren't you the same? You clearly wanted to take revenge on me, but you helped me deal with Yu Yizhou."
Han Chen was speechless.
Zhou Mo took a few bites of the food and felt she had no appetite. She put down her chopsticks and sighed slightly.
"Anyway, thank you for this time."
"Thank me for what? For driving Yu Yizhou away?"
"That's one thing. The most important thing is that you helped me solve the data problem. To be honest, our research group currently doesn't have the data needed to support my doctoral graduation. Without you, I might have difficulty even starting my doctoral thesis."
This is what happens when you follow a tight-fisted "poor" mentor.
"I understand. It's not easy to get a PhD."
Zhou Mo smiled calmly, "As you said, it's easier to understand each other when the professional barriers are low."
Han Chen also graduated with a doctorate. Although it was an eight-year undergraduate, master's and doctoral program, he has also experienced the grueling doctoral graduation process and can be considered a veteran.
Moreover, he obtained his PhD abroad, which was even more tiring than studying in China.
So I can understand her better.
The two of them had a simple meal.
Han Chen took the initiative to clean up the table, and Zhou Mo packed up the remaining food and put it in the refrigerator.
I turned around and went to the kitchen, intending to wash the dishes, but saw Han Chen rolling up his sleeves and pouring detergent into the sink.
"Let me do it." Zhou Mo stepped forward.
"I'll do it." Han Chen had already put his hand into the water, picked up the bowl and started washing it.
There is a small black spot on the outside of the back of his hand, which protrudes like a small black mole.
Zhou Mo didn't remember that there was a mole on the back of Han Chen's hand, and the place where the "mole" was... She suddenly remembered that she had bitten Han Chen last time, also in the same place.
Could it be that she bit his hand?
Zhou Mo walked closer and observed carefully.
Han Chen glanced sideways at Zhou Mo's approach, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Mo pointed at Han Chen's hand in the pool and asked, "Did I bite your hand?"
"What else?" Han Chen pulled out his hand, washed off the foam with water, and held it in front of Zhou Mo to show her.
When Zhou Mo saw the small black scab, he suddenly blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
Han Chen said while washing dishes: "It's nothing serious, I just haven't had surgery for a while."
"Ah? So serious?" Zhou Mo never expected it.
Han Chen said calmly, "It's not serious. It's just a deduction of part of this month's performance."
"The money has been deducted, isn't it serious?"
Han Chen glanced at her lightly and said deliberately: "Or, can you make it up to me?"
"Why should I pay you back when the hospital deducted your money?"
"You didn't bite me?"
"...Okay," Zhou Mo admitted her guilt. It was indeed her fault.
Fewer surgeries means less workload, and less workload will definitely result in a deduction in performance wages.
"How much did you deduct? I'll make it up to you."
Han Chen smiled and said, "Just kidding, I won't take your money."
“…”
Zhou Mo also felt that he was somewhat overestimating his own abilities.
Han Chen's basic salary is a huge sum for someone like her who has no income, not to mention the performance-based salary which accounts for the bulk of the salary.
When it comes to income, Zhou Mo feels a little inferior.
After all, it is not glorious to not have a stable income at the age of 28 and still rely on parents for support.
This is the price of constantly upgrading your academic qualifications.
While her peers have an annual income of over 100,000 yuan, she is pursuing a master's degree. While her peers have an annual income of over 200,000 yuan, she is pursuing a doctorate.
This is also the reason why Zhou Mo has been doing purchasing on behalf of others and doing a side job while in school.
When Han Chen came out of the kitchen, Zhou Mo took a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator and handed it to him, "It's getting late, you should go."
Han Chen stared at the yogurt and took it.
When he looked up again, there was sincerity in his eyes, "Zhou Mo, when can we have a good talk?"
"What are you talking about? About the bet? I'm afraid I can't do that today. I have to help my professor organize some materials. She needs them tomorrow, and it's urgent."
This is also the reason why Zhou Mo ordered them to leave.
Han Chen's dark eyes drooped slightly, "You are busy, I'm leaving."
Zhou Mo politely saw Han Chen off for the first time. She suddenly asked, "Does our bet still count?"
"What do you think?" Han Chen turned around and asked, then turned and entered the elevator.
Zhou Mo slammed the door shut, pouted and made a face at it, very dissatisfied with Han Chen's answer.
Obviously, Han Chen didn't want to give up.
Han Chen was bound to win this bet, so it was impossible for him to let her off.
Zhou Mo also firmly believed in her intuition that Han Chen came back to seek "revenge" on her, after all, she was the one who dumped him.
Regardless of whether Han Chen really has feelings for her, just from the perspective of face, Han Chen is such a proud man that he probably can't let go.
Otherwise, why would he come and propose to her as soon as he heard that she had broken up?
The phone rang.
When Zhou Mo saw it was Chen Pan, she quickly picked up the phone: "What's wrong, little girl?"
"Little girl" is Zhou Mo's unique nickname for Chen Pan.
Shen Pan smiled happily, "My boss said he would take me to the resort on Green Island in a few days. Can you and Dr. Han come?"
"...You and Lu Zhishu are boyfriend and girlfriend, aren't you afraid that I'll be a light bulb if you bring me along? It's fine if you bring me along, I at least know you two. But what's the point of bringing Han Chen along? You're boyfriend and girlfriend, and Han Chen and I are nothing."
Chen Pan added: "No, weren't you boyfriend and girlfriend in the past?"
"Yu Yizhou and I were once boyfriend and girlfriend, and he's still my most recent ex. Why didn't you ask me to bring Yu Yizhou with me?"
"Yu Yizhou is also fine. As long as you bring them, I welcome any of them."
"..." Zhou Mo almost roared: "I won't take any of them!"
"Then you can come over."
“…”
Shen Pan suddenly pleaded softly, "Actually, he wants to take me to meet a good friend of his. We are also related by blood, so we are half family, so... I am a little nervous."
Zhou Mo held his forehead, "You want to find someone to accompany you, can't you just say it?"
Chen Pan murmured softly: "I'm afraid you don't want to be a light bulb, but you don't come over. You have started a new project and are so busy..."
"How could I not help you with your problem? What day is it?"
"Next Sunday."
Zhou Mo glanced at the time and didn't take it seriously at first, but the date looked more and more familiar...
She suddenly remembered that day seemed to be the last day of the bet she and Han Chen had made...
Just when he was worried about what to do, Chen Pan gave him an excuse, which made Zhou Mo suddenly want to cheat.
This can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"No problem. See you Sunday."
