"Then you are not allowed to use Zhou Mo as a reference."
Han Chen's tone was stern, with a clear warning in it.
After all, he is Zhou Mo’s biological husband. Now that her biological husband has spoken, what else can Song Yan do?
"Okay, okay," Song Yan gave up. "You're my wife, you have the final say."
Han Chen gave up after seeing Song Yan made a promise.
However, Lu Zhishu on the side added, "You are not allowed to use Chen Pan as a reference."
It's also full of warnings.
Song Yan's face was filled with black lines: "..."
The joke is over.
The waiter started serving the dishes.
The two ladies didn't have big appetites, so they ate a little casually. Then they started to shout and leave the table, going to the sofa nearby to chat in private.
After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
Shen Pan said that the latest volume of his comics has sold well and he might make a small profit.
Pull Zhou Mo together to help her study the next plot.
The two of them held their cell phones, huddled together, chattering and discussing.
After a while, Han Chen turned around and looked at Zhou Mo, calling out, "Momo, come here and eat some more."
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "I'm full, you guys eat."
Then he continued to study with Shen Pan.
After a while, Lu Zhishu called out again, "Zhuzhu, the steak just came. Come over and have a few bites."
Shen Pan said irritably: "Oh, no time, I'm busy, you can eat by yourself."
Song Yan couldn't stand it any longer. "That's enough! Can you please let me have a good meal?"
In order to appease Song Yan, Lu Zhishu picked up a piece of meat for Song Yan and said, "I'm not stopping you from eating well. Come on, eat."
Song Yan was so angry that he set his sights on the steak that had just been served and was about to eat it. Lu Zhishu immediately stopped him and said, "Eat something else. Leave this for Shen Pan."
Song Yan: "Can't you order another dish for her?"
Lu Zhishu negotiated, "I'll order another plate."
"..." Song Yan gritted his teeth, "You are really good."
Lu Zhishu took the plate of steak, cut it into smaller pieces with a knife, put two clean forks, and then took the cut steaks and placed them on the coffee table in front of Shen Pan and Zhou Mo.
"Eat it."
When Shen Pan looked up and saw it, his eyebrows immediately lit up with joy, and there seemed to be stars in his eyes, "Thank you, dear."
Lu Zhishu smiled faintly and turned back.
Han Chen seemed to be learning from Zhou Mo's move. After peeling a small bowl of shrimp tails, he walked silently to Zhou Mo, placed the bowl next to the steak, turned around and quietly returned to his seat.
Zhou Mo couldn't hide his smile when he saw how unknown he was.
Song Yan looked at this scene, gritted his teeth, and secretly swore in his heart.
From now on, he won't eat a single bite of steak or shrimp tails!
Fortunately, Lu Zhishu and Han Chen did not show their affection any further, and all the happiness of the young couple ended here.
After the three men returned to the topic.
Song Yan poured wine for Han Chen and Lu Zhishu.
He was a little depressed and unhappy, so he had to ask these two "good friends" to help him relieve his boredom.
It was okay. After Zhou Mo left the table, Song Yan took advantage of Han Chen and Lu Zhishu talking, and seeing that he was not paying attention, secretly poured Han Chen a full glass of white wine.
After Han Chen finished speaking, he saw that his wine glass was full to the brim and he didn't say much except frowning.
Lu Zhishu was very self-aware. He was obviously a frequent drinker, so he knew when to raise his glass without his persuasion.
"So... what's going on with your fourth brother?" Lu Zhishu asked, "I wanted to ask you a while ago, but you were out helping with disaster relief in the mountains, so I didn't want to disturb you."
This is the real purpose of Lu Zhishu inviting everyone out this time.
Han Chen frowned slightly, "I don't know either. My fourth brother hasn't contacted me recently."
"He's been very close to Kan Tong recently," Lu Zhishu said. "I heard they're both staying at the Casa Hotel."
Song Yan took a bite of food out of boredom: "What's going on? Did they talk or sleep together?"
Lu Zhishu did not answer, but looked at Han Chen, as if waiting for Han Chen's answer.
"I really don't know," Han Chen said. "Although we're brothers,... after we each started our own lives and careers, we don't interact as much as before, and we don't understand each other as well as we used to. I don't see my fourth brother as often as I see you guys."
Song Yan: "Then your brother is too plastic."
Han Chen: “…”
Lu Zhishu brought the topic back to the topic, "Can I ask you a little bit? Why is he connected with so many of Bojian's suppliers? This is a suspicious point."
Han Chen was embarrassed, "It's hard to ask."
Lu Zhishu: "How do you mean?"
Han Chen: "He has changed. He is no longer the fourth brother he used to be. I even punched him before."
Song Yan was surprised: "What's going on?"
Han Chen: "He seems to be very short of money... He even asked me to borrow money from Zhou Mo... He - I can't say it, anyway, he has become very strange."
Lu Zhishu: "That makes him even more problematic. No matter what your fourth brother is like, he can't be someone who's short of money, right?"
Han Chen: "I think so too. So even if I ask him directly, he probably won't tell me the truth."
Song Yan: "That makes sense."
Lu Zhishu was worried: "What should I do?"
Han Chen: "I can ask my second brother. My fourth brother seems to be very close to my second brother. I'll feel out his reaction."
"Please," Lu Zhishu raised his glass, "This matter is very important to me. Thank you for your help."
"It's not that troublesome," Han Chen picked up his cup and clinked it lightly with Lu Zhishu's. "Some things... I think we should prepare for them early..."
As he spoke, Han Chen lowered his voice and glanced in Zhou Mo's direction.
Lu Zhishu immediately understood, "It's the Han family..."
"Well," Han Chen interrupted Lu Zhishu and changed the subject, asking, "How is Zhifan doing now? Is business going well?"
"Don't worry, everything is going smoothly, and all businesses are moving forward steadily," Lu Zhishu said. "I've contacted a company called ONEPAPER, which specializes in experimental outsourcing services and has a large client base. The clients they serve are all those who publish papers, and most of them don't have a deep understanding of patents. We're planning to collaborate, and before their clients publish their papers, we'll evaluate them and help them determine whether they can apply for a patent first and then publish the paper. This way, they'll have two scientific achievements. You should understand the tricks involved."
"I know," Han Chen said. "Patent duplication checks include similar papers, even those by the same author. Paper duplication checks are different. They only look for similar papers, not patents. So when publishing scientific research results, patents should be published first, then papers."
"There's also the downstream transformation of technological achievements," Lu Zhishu said. "Zhifan recently applied for an information technology incubation project established by the Dongjiang Merchants Group. It provides special support in terms of loans, land use, and other enterprise-industry linkages. This project is modeled after the one in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, mainly targeting small and medium-sized enterprises to help them develop."
Han Chen was slightly stunned. "Is this a copy of my third brother's project?"
Lu Zhishu: "Yeah. You, the third brother, are really good at managing the economy."
