Chapter 52: Is she wearing Chanel today?
When Shen Linglan and Ye You met, they didn't expect Lu Shaohua to be there too.
Lu Shaohua was different from the man he was seven years ago. He wore a well-tailored suit and gold-rimmed glasses, but his face was as sharp as if it had been cut by a knife. At first glance, Shen Linglan felt that he was... a bit of a scoundrel.
"Hello, Miss Shen."
Ye You was also wearing a suit. He looked older than Lu Shaohua and was not wearing glasses. Compared with Lu Shaohua, Ye You looked more like a businessman.
He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Shen Linglan.
Shen Linglan nodded to Ye You and also stretched out her hand to shake his. After the two of them let go, Shen Linglan stretched out her hand to Lu Shaohua. Lu Shaohua did not hesitate and shook her hand. Then he said, "Long time no see, little girl."
Hearing this, Shen Linglan smiled.
The person in front of her was one of the few warm people she had met in the first half of her life.
"Long time no see, Brother Lu."
Both of them had gentleness in their eyes, but Ye You interrupted at an inopportune moment and said, "You are Shen Linglan who has been very popular on the Internet recently, right?"
This caused Chen Mengxue to roll her eyes at Ye You, which made Ye You a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and apologized to Shen Linglan, "Sorry, my question was not very polite."
"No problem." Shen Linglan shook her head nonchalantly, "Let's get down to business."
Then, Lu Shaohua said, "Linglan, if you want to donate to the institute because of me... you can rest assured that the institute will not lay me off."
His blunt words caused Ye You to pinch his arm under the table.
Before Shen Linglan could speak, Ye You said anxiously, "If necessary, we can also lay off Shaohua."
This made Chen Mengxue laugh again, which made Ye You unhappy. He frowned and looked at her, "May I ask who this person is?"
Shen Linglan said, "This is my assistant, Chen Mengxue. She is in charge of the donation."
Ye You's frown instantly relaxed, and he smiled again, extending his hand towards Chen Mengxue, "Hello, Miss Chen."
Chen Mengxue touched his hand perfunctorily.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Ye, I donated because of Brother Lu and because the institute is short of money, so I want to do my part."
Chen Mengxue heard what Shen Linglan said and promptly took out the contract she had prepared from her bag. "Excuse me, are you a representative of the research institute?"
Ye You nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I can accept the donation on behalf of the institute."
He took the contract with both hands and read every clause very carefully. There was no right to make any further demands, and it did not require the institute to make any sacrifices. Ye You raised his eyes and looked at Shen Linglan, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
He took out the pen from his breast pocket and signed his name on the last page without any hesitation.
It was settled.
Ye You held the contract and said to Shen Linglan, "I will ask the institute to make a plaque for you and give you a pass. You are welcome to visit the institute at any time, and Shaohua will accompany you throughout the visit."
Shen Linglan nodded, "Okay."
As early as when they signed the contract, Shen Linglan and Lu Shaohua had already added their contact information.
When Lu Shaohua and Ye You walked out of the cafe, Ye You was still saying, "This girl is really nice. Seven years ago, you gave her 200 yuan, and seven years later, she donated a million yuan for you. By the way, how come in just six or seven years, this girl has become so rich? If I'm not mistaken, she is wearing Chanel today, right?"
Lu Shaohua recalled the skinny and skinny girl in his memory, and she was completely different from the current Shen Linglan. The current Shen Linglan was graceful and generous, and she didn't even put on makeup when she came to see them today. Her skin was white and delicate, and her facial features were exquisite and beautiful.
With that expensive outfit, she has really changed a lot. It is no longer possible to tell that she was the poor and miserable girl seven years ago.
He shook his head and did not answer Ye You.
Ye You and Lu Shaohua got in a car together. Ye You was still mumbling, "The reason why our institute is so short of funds is because of you. You said there were abnormal electromagnetic waves in the sky half a month ago. We broke a lot of equipment trying to figure out what was going on with the electromagnetic waves. Although this one million can solve the urgent problem, it's still not enough. Shaohua, take it easy."
Thinking of the abnormality in the sky half a month ago, Lu Shaohua narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a feeling that this matter must be very important."
Shen Linglan sat in the cafe for a while, and Zhao Yunduo sent a message to Shen Linglan before boarding the plane.
[Baoer, I never thought that my first time on a plane in my life would be in the end times! This plane is a bit shabby, and it’s very different from the high-end one I imagined! ]
Shen Linglan chuckled and thought that maybe in the end times there was no ability to produce airplanes, so they had been using old planes.
She doesn’t know if airplanes are easy to buy nowadays. She wants to buy one for her best friend.
As soon as Zhao Yunduo got on the plane, he put his cell phone in his pocket.
The person who came to pick them up was a woman wearing a simple coarse cloth shirt. She had a cold and businesslike look on her face. She said to Cui Zhende, "Have you taken the people back to the base?"
Cui Zhende nodded. The woman rummaged around in the co-pilot seat of the plane and pulled out a dusty notebook that hadn't been used in who knows how long. She handed it to Zhou Micheng and said, "Please register here."
Zhao Yunduo leaned over to take a look and saw that there were three columns of information that needed to be filled in.
Name, age, current possessions.
Zhou Micheng wrote down the names and ages of the three people, leaving the last column blank. The woman in the coarse cloth shirt took the registration book, glanced at it, and put it back into the storage box without saying anything.
The B City base is about half a day's flight away from here. Before leaving, Cui Zhende asked the woman to fly twice above the shopping mall building. After being trapped by the green giant for several days, they were finally able to see the full picture of the green giant.
Looking down from the sky, the green monster didn't look that scary anymore. Instead, it really looked like a green lotus that had climbed up the wall. At least it didn't look very aggressive.
It had been burned three times, and its vitality was very weak. Even its leaves were dying, and the dark green color turned into emerald green.
“It’s resting and adjusting.”
Cui Zhende was holding a pen in his hand and quickly sketching the green giant's situation. He said, "The green giant may also know that the zombie tide is coming, and it is waiting for a chance to regroup. We don't have much time left."
Everyone fell into deep thought, their eyes fixed on everything below.
The green giant nearby and the zombie tide in the distance are all major threats to the human world.
At this moment, Zhao Yunduo took advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention, changed several angles and secretly took several photos, and sent them to Shen Linglan.
