Fifty-six stars
When she reached his office door, it was locked and shut. The assistant reminded her that Feng Chibai was still inside, talking. Lin Tang half-crouched outside, picked up her phone, and opened Candy Crush.
After just two hits, the door suddenly opened.
When Feng Chibai and his partner came out, they saw Lin Tang, leaning against the wall, squatting on the ground, playing Candy Crush on his phone. The man below noticed the door opening and subconsciously looked up, their eyes meeting his.
He raised his eyebrows, and after the people around him left, he came to Lin Tang, leaned over and chuckled softly, "It's a good thing the old man is not here, otherwise if I shed a few more tears, I might be accused of mistreating you."
Lin Tang slowly stood up with the help of Feng Chibai. His legs were a little numb from being bent, so he leaned against the wall to stretch them a few times before waving his hand. "Don't worry, we're in the same boat. I won't cheat you."
She gave him a look, promising him to be assured of what she did.
After entering, Lin Tang naturally sat down on his office chair. His chair was very comfortable and perfect for her to continue playing games.
Feng Chibai still had two documents to look at, and didn't bother to pay attention to the situation on her side. He sat on the sofa and quickly went through the contents.
After everything was done, he went over to remind her to prepare dinner.
He chose a Western restaurant not far from the company. The overall color scheme was black and the environment was very quiet. Once he entered, he could hardly hear any other sound except the waiter's questions.
Lin Tang was so embarrassed by this that even if he didn't care about it on normal days, he was too embarrassed to make a sound at this moment.
The more she thought about Lin Tang, the more she felt something was wrong. In the afternoon, he kept saying on WeChat that he was worried that she had no one to chat with, but in the end he brought her to this place. It was obvious that he didn't want her to talk.
She sighed dejectedly, and in her heart she completely believed that he was what she had guessed, and sent him a message in anger.
Sui Sui: [You did it on purpose]
After sending it, she raised her chin to signal him to look at his phone.
Feng Chibai did as he was told in confusion. After seeing the content, he frowned slightly and replied: What.
Sui Sui: [You idiot, you're pretending to be stupid. You don't want to listen to me, so just say it. Do you think I'm happy to talk to you?]
This time she spoke directly, and Feng Chibai immediately understood what she was referring to. He could even imagine her tone through the screen. He couldn't help but smile and replied slowly: You misunderstood me, this is indeed not well considered.
He hadn't lied to her. He had been to this restaurant several times and the dishes were all very good. He had wanted to bring her here to try it, but he hadn't thought that the environment here didn't seem to match her habits.
Lin Tang didn't believe his explanation at all and just kept eating.
The dishes tasted really good. She wanted to praise them but couldn't say anything. Eating without chatting was a torture for her, so she just chewed with blank eyes.
Suddenly, a bowl of peeled shrimps was brought in front of her. She subconsciously cast a puzzled glance at Feng Chibai. Seeing him wiping his hands slowly, Lin Tang raised an eyebrow and then sent him a message: So thoughtful.
Feng Chibai: [Well, I’m afraid you’ll say bad things about me behind my back one day]
She glanced sideways and saw that he was still smiling, and she couldn't help but smile too.
After dinner, the two walked towards Yunhe.
The company is located in a good location, surrounded by a bustling commercial street and a row of shops on the periphery.
Lin Tang's eyes lit up when he accidentally saw a self-service claw machine shop, and he pulled Feng Chibai inside.
She had never actually caught one before, but had only watched others do it a few times. There weren't many people in the store at the moment, and her interest was piqued. She was determined to catch one.
Lin Tang actually has a very strong personality. When she sees others catching them easily, she cannot lose at all. At least she has to catch a few easily and take them back.
However, this is not like doing exercises or experiments. Some theoretical knowledge is not enough to support her operation. There were even several times when she felt that hope was in her grasp, but when she was about to exit, the clamp suddenly loosened and the doll fell back.
Her brows suddenly furrowed, and she always felt that the machine was against her. It had clearly caught it, but it had to let go at the last moment. Isn't this deceiving consumers?
She got a little impatient and puffed up her cheeks as she ordered Feng Chibai to take over.
In fact, her original intention was not to let him win, but to see him fail, so that she would feel better. After all, a CEO who dominated the business wars finally fell under the influence of a claw machine, and the good mood was all about contrast.
This was also Feng Chibai's first time playing. He was able to make amends after failing the first two times because of his experience. However, after Lin Tang's experience happened to him one after another, he finally lost his composure.
His handsome face suddenly tensed, with a few more lines between his eyebrows. He gritted his teeth and tried again with concentration.
Then, I missed the target again.
Lin Tang felt relieved all of a sudden. Even though she had made several mistakes, it did not stop her from teasing Feng Chibai: "Hey, President Feng is not omnipotent either."
Feng Chibai loosened his grip, straightened his back, and said coldly, "There's something wrong with this machine."
Lin Tang said, "Oh!" with a smile on his face. "Can capital be manipulated by capital?"
It turns out that men sometimes really cannot be questioned.
After hearing this, Feng Chibai exchanged another 100 game coins without hesitation, and his desire to win suddenly increased.
However, a desire to win alone was useless. After using up less than half of the game coins, Feng Chibai suddenly stopped. His almond-shaped eyes, shrouded in coldness, asked without warmth, "Which doll do you want?"
"What?" Lin Tang raised his eyes in surprise. "Catch whatever I point to."
His words were unclear, so Lin Tang could only interpret them according to his own understanding. He pointed at a doll and said, "This one."
The next second, Feng Chibai did not put in the coins, but instead called the clerk over and used his money ability to directly buy the doll.
Lin Tang: ???
Then all that money just spent would have been wasted.
If you know you will need to buy it in the end, it is better to buy it at the beginning.
Although it wasn't her money, she still felt the pain.
But out of consideration for Feng Chibai's pride, she didn't say it. She took the doll the clerk took out of the machine, took out her phone and took a picture, her lips curled slightly: "This is a record of Mr. Feng's first doll-catching achievement, even if it wasn't caught."
Feng Chibai: "...This machine is incredibly profitable. Looks like we can start a new business."
Lin Tang suppressed his laughter and reminded him, "Have you had enough fun? Go back."

On the afternoon of the day when the Milson team returned from Country M, another meeting was held within the institute.
After the meeting, Milson came to Lin Tang's office without saying hello, and locked the door after entering.
Lin Tang was not confused. After all, they had been together for a long time and had a certain understanding of each other. He knew that they were always very cautious and would always close the door when talking, no matter big or small.
He sat down opposite Lin Tang, thinking that there was something he didn't understand in the meeting just now. Lin Tang waited for him to speak.
But the content of his words did not align with what she had imagined: "Lin, I talked a lot with the leaders of our institute when I returned this time, so I also wanted to come and understand your thoughts."
His voice was not loud, and his eyes were full of inquiry as he closely followed Lin Tang's every move.
"My thoughts?" His words were unclear, and Lin Tang couldn't understand what he meant at first.
Milson maintained his usual composure and changed his tone, "It's not really your idea, it's more of a realistic question."
He paused and explained, "I'd like to know what kind of benefits people in your position enjoy at the institute?"
Lin Tang narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Milson chuckled and said "oh" before quickly adding, "Our leader wanted to know. He's worried we'd be too hard up in a foreign country, so he wants to be more considerate and offer us better treatment."
Lin Tang could accept this reason. Without giving it much thought, she leaned back in her chair and casually replied, "There are still many benefits. The most basic ones are promotions and salary increases. If you go a little further, there are all kinds of privileges."
But she didn't say it explicitly and didn't think it was necessary.
Her reservations were interpreted by Milson as the only preferential treatment he received. He couldn't help but say, "Then you C people are a bit stingy when it comes to treating scientific researchers."
Lin Tang didn't understand his train of thought and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Milson smiled and evaded the question, "Nothing, just a joke with Lin."
It seemed that he came here just for this one thing, and after getting the answer, he opened the door and went out.
Ying Yu brought a pile of materials for Lin Tang to check. As the door was closed, he didn't dare to knock. He waited until Milson came out before walking in in surprise, and looked back at his back from time to time.
He closed the door, placed the materials on Lin Tang's desk, and asked curiously, "Boss, what did he say to you?"
Lin Tang flipped open the topmost file and carefully examined its contents, casually replying, "It's unimportant."
"It's not important, but why lock the door?" Ying Yu muttered softly, "Yeah, even if I ask if the cafeteria food can be improved, I have to lock the door."
In an instant, speaking to himself, he understood Milson's approach.
But something suddenly flashed through Lin Tang's mind, and he felt that something was wrong, and some things went through his mind quickly.
Seeing her stunned, Ying Yu stretched out his hand and waved it back and forth in front of her eyes: "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Tang regained consciousness and said calmly, "It's okay."
She circled a few places on the document in her hand, then handed it to Ying Yu and said, "There are large discrepancies in these data. Go check what's going on."
Then he continued to busy himself with his own things.
After returning to the suite in the evening, Lin Tang was busy for a while before going to take a shower. When he came out, he felt a little bored, so he turned on the TV to watch.
Suddenly I felt a little hungry and remembered that there was a box of blueberries in the refrigerator. I got up to get it. I casually looked through the things in the refrigerator and suddenly noticed that there were several bags of square cakes of different flavors in the quick-frozen area.
She picked up a bag in surprise, turned around and asked the person sitting on the sofa: "Feng Chibai, did you buy this?"
Before she could answer, she smiled and said, "Didn't someone give a pretty good review before? I thought Mr. Feng would only buy something if it got a perfect score."
Feng Chibai turned his head and said calmly, "You seem to like eating it very much."
Lin Tang raised his eyes in surprise: "Oh, you bought it for me, you are so kind."
After saying that, he took out another pack from the refrigerator, walked over to him and sat down, then handed him the extra pack.
But Feng Chibai refused: "I don't have the habit of eating late at night."
If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it.
Lin Tang didn't withdraw his hand, and continued, "Then put it back yourself."
This made Feng Chibai pause for a few seconds, recalling the way she called him a straight man. He curled his lips and continued, "Lazy ghost."
I did it anyway.
Lin Tang didn't care at all when he heard this. He opened the package, took a bite, and sighed swayingly, "Ah, before marriage, they kept trying to please me, but after marriage, they start to change their attitude. Men are really the strangest creatures in the world."
Feng Chibai glanced at the square cake she bought in her hand, smiled grimly, and said nothing.
The weather has been unpredictable recently, with the temperature going up and down, and it's hard to tell for sure.
In the middle of the night, Lin Tang couldn't sleep because of the heat.
She got up quietly and turned on the air conditioner. After slowly climbing back into bed, she suddenly found that the person next to her had opened his eyes.
She paused in her quilt and asked quietly, "Did I disturb you?"
"No." Feng Chibai's voice was still a little unclear, not quite sober.
The moment she lay down in the bed, he turned over and stretched out his long arms to hug her.
Lin Tang's body stiffened, his pupils shrank, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked in a daze, "Are you awake?"
for a long time.
Then a subtle voice came from the side: "Half and half."
She pressed, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Feng Chibai didn't move his hand away and replied softly, "I'm sleepy."
Lin Tang was puzzled: "What does this have to do with you being sleepy?"
However, the person next to him did not respond.
There was not even a sound, as if he had fallen asleep again.
