Forty-one stars
She raised her head and saw Feng Yunjing who had just come out of the room not far away. She suddenly forgot what she was going to do and greeted him.
Although there were two people in front of her, Feng Yunjing automatically ignored the other person and glanced at their tightly clasped hands. Seeing that Lin Tang was about to return to her room, she even moved aside to make room for her.
Because there were more things to do at the institute recently, Lin Tang did not go to wash up and rest immediately. Instead, he took out his computer and worked for a while. It was almost eleven o'clock when he hurriedly closed the file.
When I casually took out my phone to relax, I found an unread message on WeChat.
McMahon Crispy Chicken: [Are you going to eat it for midnight snack?]
The message was sent five minutes ago.
Lin Tang was not hungry originally, but after being asked this question, the feeling of hunger suddenly came up belatedly.
After thinking it over again and again, she replied: OK.
The lights outside the room were off, making it a perfect time to commit the crime secretly.
She put her cell phone in her pocket, glanced at someone who was reading a document, and thought of not disturbing him for once, so she walked out of the door calmly.
But Feng Chibai noticed it and asked, "Where are you going?"
Lin Tang didn't hide it from him and answered honestly: "Would you like to join us for a late-night snack?"
But considering their relationship, it didn't seem right for them to eat together, so he added, "Or maybe I can bring you one?"
Feng Chibai had already withdrawn his gaze and said calmly, "I don't want to eat."
Eat it if you like.
If she doesn't want to eat it, she can eat it herself.
When they went downstairs, Feng Yunjing had already started cooking noodles secretly. Lin Tang was of little help and could only cover for him.
Fortunately, it is always easy to do bad things at this point.
Just after sitting down and taking a few bites, Feng Yunjing suddenly brought up the topic: "Hey, I need help from a certain astronomer. I want to write a song about the starry sky recently, but I have no inspiration. What should I do?"
Lin Tang slowly swallowed the noodles in his mouth and waved his hand, saying, "There's nothing I can do to help you. I'm a researcher, not a musician."
"However." After all, they were friends, so she wouldn't be so stingy. "If you don't mind my harsh words, I can still help you with some background knowledge."
Feng Yun Jing Yang laughed and said, "How could you be so mean? You are actually speaking in a pleasant way."
He half-lowered his eyes, staring at the noodles in the bowl, and suddenly felt dazed. But he came to his senses in a moment: "Being friends with you is really a blessing."
Hearing this, Lin Tang laughed: "You speak quite pleasantly, not as well as someone else."
When mentioning Feng Chibai, Lin Tang's mouth drooped.
Feng Yunjing's gaze fell on her again, but she had already lowered her head to continue eating her noodles. In the dim environment, her ring was dazzling.
He suddenly remembered what Xu Jianyun had said to him earlier. For a moment, not only for her, but also for himself, he wanted to know the answer. In a trance, he did ask: "Lin Tang, you married him, is..."
Is there any other reason?
But when reason returned, the words on the tip of my tongue finally changed to: "Is it because I like you?"
Lin Tang looked up in surprise, as if he hadn't expected him to ask that question. But he controlled his expression well, and replied without blushing or fluttering, "Of course. Although he's a bit annoying, he's also considerate."
When he said the latter sentence, his hand unconsciously covered the ring.
As if he hadn't expected her to admit it so readily, Feng Yunjing hesitated for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "That's good."
After having supper and packing up the tools used in the crime, the two men returned to their rooms.
The moment he opened the door, Lin Tang noticed that the TV was on and the screen was playing the movie he had not finished watching.
She walked over to Feng Chibai and sat down, naturally putting her arm around his shoulder: "Oh, you're watching TV. It seems that Mr. Feng really didn't want to watch TV recently."
After all, the episode playing on the screen is the next episode that we watched together.
Feng Chibai remained silent. His eyes were clearly fixed on the TV, but he was somewhat dazed.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Lin Tang, can you lie?"
Lin Tang was stunned for a few seconds by his inexplicable question. He smiled puzzledly and said, "Why are you talking nonsense again? I only talk about it when I have no choice, like the truth about my marriage to you."
Although she was confused, she still chose to answer.
But Feng Chibai was not very happy. He even laughed a little angrily, and then hummed heavily.
Lin Tang was puzzled: "Huh?"
The other party did not intend to answer, but turned off the TV and left a sentence: "Go to bed early."

Because the project is still in the early stages of discussion, after several small meetings a few days ago, another general meeting was held to address the current issues.
However, the atmosphere of the meeting was not harmonious. The technicians from Country M wanted to improve the existing imaging algorithm, but Lin Tang felt that even if the current algorithm was improved, it would still have great limitations, so he would rather redesign a new imaging algorithm.
However, the researchers from Country M were very determined. They believed that the cooperation period between the two parties was not long and that it would be impossible to produce a finished product within the expected time by developing a new algorithm.
After hearing their reasons, Lin Tang couldn't help but laugh. After a pause, he pursed his lips and said mercilessly in fluent English, "You also said it was the expected time. If you want to improve, then you should do it for the better. Are you going to break the time limit and submit a half-finished product?"
"Since Country M is sincerely seeking cooperation, it should understand that all success comes with risks. If you can't accept the risks, I advise you to pack up and leave as soon as possible."
Ying Yu didn't understand what Lin Tang was saying. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. Sure enough, the thing he was most worried about had happened.
He wasn't worried about Lin Tang losing the argument, but this was Country C after all. If he gave the impression that he had come all the way here just to be scolded, it would be a bit jarring. After thinking it over, he timidly called out, "Boss."
Trying to awaken Lin Tang's kindness.
However, he was scared away by her glare the next second.
Milson, the leader of Country M, maintained a stern face, but he couldn't help but consider Lin Tang's words. They knew they had to do their best, and Country M's research and development technology were far inferior to Country C's. They had just met Lin Tang, and her abilities far surpassed theirs. If they were to do this, they had at least a 70% to 80% chance of success.
For the benefit of both countries, the leader of Country M would inevitably concede time. Therefore, they had to admit that Lin Tang had some truth in what he said. However, to save face, he still stubbornly asked in English, "So you don't intend to accept our opinion?"
Lin Tang folded his arms, leaning lazily against the back of his chair, his brows still sharp as ever as he said word by word, "Of course not."
The discussion ultimately ended with the adoption of Lin Tang's suggestion.
But this time Lin Tang felt more pressured. After all, he had followed her advice. If the result was not good, she would be the one who would be held most responsible.
At least with her personality, she would take all the responsibility on herself. But her pride would never allow her to make any mistakes, so she had to come up with a good breakthrough.
Lin Tang had been working furiously in the lab since the daytime meeting. It wasn't until after work in the afternoon, when the people from Country M had gone home, that she finally had a break. She was so exhausted that she ran to the lounge area on the first floor and drank several cups of coffee.
The cup was empty, so he took another one. Just as he was about to put it to his mouth, a hand suddenly pressed down on the wall of the cup. The next second, the cup was taken away by someone who had come over at some point.
Lin Tang frowned as he looked at Feng Chibai who had suddenly appeared. He was about to speak when he was interrupted: "Drink less, or you won't be able to sleep at night and go around looking for people to chat with."
He was the only one by the bed, and the person he was chatting with knew who he was referring to without having to think about it.
Although tomorrow is the weekend, it is indeed troublesome not to be able to sleep at night. Lin Tang thought about it and decided not to snatch the cup from him.
After returning to the office to pack up my things, I got in the car with him.
Just as he fastened his seatbelt, Feng Chibai suddenly remembered that a document he needed to look at tonight was left on his desk in the office. He glanced at Lin Tang and said, "Do you mind if I go back to Yunhe first?"
Lin Tang, with his head tilted back and eyes closed, was resting. He replied indifferently, "Whatever you say."
Feng Chibai gave the driver a look through the rearview mirror, and the car immediately turned around and drove towards Yunhe Company.
Because the car was stuffy, Lin Tang followed him out when he got out.
From the outside, it seems that the lights on several floors are still on.
When the receptionist came in, she was stunned for a moment. She was on a shift change and had originally thought that the president was still in the company. When she saw him walk in from outside, she suddenly had a bad premonition and hurriedly reported, "President, your mother just came in and said she had something to bring you."
Hearing this, Feng Chibai's eyes narrowed, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes: "Mother?"
The receptionist explained: "It's Ms. Xu, she's still upstairs."
The assistant beside him changed his expression: "Boss Feng, this..."
Feng Chibai's face was gloomy. He raised his hand to signal him to shut up. Then he strode towards the elevator with his long legs.
Lin Tang also vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Although he came to find Feng Chibai, he still did not come down immediately after knowing that he was not in the office. It seemed that he was not here to find him.
The moment the elevator door opened, Feng Chibai walked past the administration department where a few people were still on duty and headed straight for the office door.
The moment the doorknob turned, Xu Jianyun's back suddenly appeared in his sight. She had her back to him, looking for something. He jokingly reminded her, "Aunt Xu, what are you doing here?"
The sound was not loud, as if it came from ice chips.
But it was enough to startle Xu Jianyun. She turned around abruptly, as if she hadn't expected him to appear at this time. A hint of surprise unconsciously appeared on her face, but she quickly suppressed it.
She resumed her benevolent demeanor, picked up the thermos box on the table, and said, "Oh, Junming said you've been working too hard these past few days. Thinking that the relationship between you and your father hasn't been harmonious, I thought I'd make you some soup and use me as a go-between to smooth things over. Your father actually does care about you."
Feng Chibai's lips curled up slowly, but there was no warmth in his eyes: "Thank you, Auntie, but next time you come, please let me know in advance so that you don't make a wasted trip."
"Of course." Xu Jianyun's heart began to panic again. She put down the thermos box and said, "Remember to drink this soup while it's hot. Auntie won't bother you any more."
After saying that, she smiled at him again and then hurriedly retreated.
As I walked out of the office door and was about to turn into the corridor, I suddenly heard a voice beside my ear: "Hello, Auntie."
She looked at Lin Tang, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, a smile on his face, and nodded at her: "Hey, Xiao Tang is here too."
Lin Tang walked in slowly until she was out of sight.
Feng Chibai stood there and scanned the area for a while before coldly ordering his assistant, "Tell the surveillance department to send the surveillance backup to my computer now."
The assistant knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he immediately called the head of the monitoring department.
The other party knew that Feng Chibai was almost angry, so he didn't dare to delay and quickly sent the backup.
From the moment Xu Jianyun entered the Yunhe Building until she left just now, all the surveillance footage of her was retrieved.
Lin Tang sat loosely in Feng Chibai's office chair, watching the screen. Xu Jianyun, under the pretext of delivering soup, started rummaging around for things the moment he entered the office. A scene suddenly flashed through his mind.
She raised her lips, her eyes fell on the silent Feng Chibai, and asked abruptly: "Feng Chibai, where did you throw away the agreement you signed at that time?"
