After arriving in the capital, without waiting for Ling Ran to look for anyone, the team leader came to their place of residence, Jiang Weihua's small home in Mianhua Hutong.
This was what Jiang Weihua insisted on. He had more rooms here, so there was no need to go to Zhima Hutong to live with Lu Rong. After all, Zhou Xiang was Lu Rong's boss, and it would be uncomfortable to live together. So Zhou Xiang accepted Jiang's reason.
The captain took Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang to an ordinary courtyard house. The courtyard looked unremarkable from the outside, but once inside, they discovered that there was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.
I followed the captain into the second courtyard and went down to the basement from the east wing. The basement here is over a thousand square meters.
"Put the things here first. The new laboratory is still under construction." Tang Ganwen said to the couple behind him.
Zhou Xiang was startled. Could it be that Longguo also wanted to build a human laboratory?
Tang Ganwen understood Zhou Xiang's hesitation and said with a smile, "Don't worry! I definitely won't take such an inhumane approach."
Zhou Xiang sighed softly, and he and Ling Ran released all the packages.
After checking everything one by one, Tang Ganwen took the couple out of the basement again.
"Captain, we have other things to do in the capital, so let's say goodbye now!"
Feeling Zhou Xiang's indifference, Tang Ganwen was helpless and could only give up his original plan of having a good reunion with the two of them. "Alright! I'll go back and report as well."
After separating from the captain, Ling Ran held his lover's hand and said, "Don't worry too much. In my previous life, the Dragon Kingdom has always been against human experiments."
"That's because we didn't bring back these instruments and experimental data." Zhou Xiang was worried that he had done something wrong again.
"Then you should know the core values of socialism, right?" Ling Ran wasn't as pessimistic as his lover. Longguo had always been based on kindness and harmony. Anything done would always leave a trace. If you wanted to avoid being caught, the best way was to not do it. All the results of the laboratory would definitely be used to serve as reference for better medical research.
Zhou Xiang thought about how in her last days in her previous life, Longguo had surpassed many countries and had always faced foreign slander head-on. Forget it, she stopped worrying about it, put aside all the distracting thoughts in her head, and believed that she would not change the general direction of history.
"Let's go! Go back and rest up. Tomorrow we'll go to the real estate company first, and then go meet that person."
No matter why Jiang Xing'an wanted to see him, Zhou Xiang didn't plan to meet him in a hurry and would wait a few days.
The next day, the two of them went for a walk near the office building outside the Third Ring Road. Zhou Xiang had never visited the ten-story building since it was built. When he handed the company over to Zuo Heng and his third brother, he fully believed that they would work in Beijing until they were old, and he could visit the building anytime. However, who knew that the two of them could not withstand the psychological pressure.
The third brother has poor ability to withstand pressure, and I didn’t expect Zuo Heng’s ability to withstand pressure is also poor. Is it really true that having a family means there are more distracting thoughts in one’s mind?
Although the Sixth Ring Road is already under construction, and the Fifth Ring Road was nearly completed four years ago, Beijingers still refer to the area within the Fourth Ring Road as the "city." This office building, naturally, is a prime location. As soon as the rental ad was released, it was fully leased within two days. Now, the people coming in and out are all arrogant and aloof white-collar workers.
Entering and exiting the floor requires a work permit or visitor registration. The two of them had no intention of going in, and just wanted to walk around the periphery and leave.
When he turned around, he was faced with someone he once knew. "Zhou Xiang? Ling Ran?"
Zhou Xiang nodded lightly, not even wanting to call the other person's name.
"Xue Zhendong." Ling Ran called the other person's name. His wife had been disheartened about everything recently. It was understandable that she didn't want to pay attention to this traitorous old classmate, but he couldn't let the other party think that they were impolite, especially since there was another acquaintance standing next to Xue Zhendong. He pretended not to see this acquaintance.
"Hey! Isn't this the former CEO of ZX Company? What's going on? The company is closed down, so you came to the old location to reminisce about the past?"
Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Xiang, who was in a bad mood, with sarcasm. She thought Zhou Xiang's bad mood was due to the dissolution of the company.
The elders of the clan condescended to go to the market town, but were beaten out by Zhou Xiang's men. So she took the opportunity to persuade the clan members to invest in a microelectronics company to compete with Zhou Xiang.
She hated Zhou Xiang not only because the tribe members valued Zhou Xiang and wanted to curry favor with him, ignoring her efforts and flattery, but also because Zhou Xiang ruined her relationship with Xue Zhendong. Although she was just taking advantage of Xue Zhendong, Xue Zhendong had no right to break up with her first!
What's more, Xue Zhendong didn't propose to break up. He directly got engaged in his hometown and brought his fiancée back to Beijing. Isn't this a slap in her face?
Therefore, she took advantage of the mentality that what men cannot steal is the best, and kept Xue Zhendong in suspense for a long time. Finally, she pried Xue Zhendong away, and learned from Xue Zhendong that Zhou Xiang was the real boss of ZX. This news made her more motivated and she set her goal to defeat ZX Company.
Unexpectedly, a few years ago, ZX Company suddenly announced that it would withdraw from the microelectronics industry. She immediately raised funds from the clan and acquired ZX Company. Now, ZX has become a thing of the past, and Zilong Company is the leader in this industry.
Xue Zhendong could think of Zhou Xiang's cold attitude after he subconsciously called out Zhou Xiang's name, but when he really encountered it, the guilt in his heart was overshadowed by the embarrassment.
His current identity is different. He used to be in charge of the logistics of ZX Company, but now he is the sales manager of Zilong Company. He has stepped into the public eye and received a lot of envy and compliments. It has been a long time since he has been treated like this.
Could it be that, as Zhou Qing said, Zhou Xiang did not put him in the same position as Zuo Heng and Ji Bin? Otherwise, it would be impossible that one of them was the general manager and the other was the sales manager, while he was just a small warehouse supervisor?
Now, the difference in status between him and Zhou Xiang wasn't that far off, right? Why did Zhou Xiang look down on him?
The few people she respected had all returned to Huai County. Was this just as Zhou Qing said, that Zhou Xiang was suppressing him because he had been so unappreciated for so many years?
Thinking of this, his face turned unsightly. After Zhou Qing spoke, Zhou Xiang still had that cold and disdainful look on his face, and Ling Ran's face also turned disdainful. The couple's disdain was directed at Zhou Qing, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
Zhou Qing is his, even though they are only in secret, but he should at least be polite to her on the surface because they used to be together, right?
"Qingqing, you just love to offend people by speaking your mind. Why don't you apologize to Miss Zhou right away?"
These words made the three of them change their expressions.
Zhou Qing's expression brightened. With a smile on her pretty face, she apologized to Zhou Xiang openly, "I'm sorry, Zhou Xiang. I spoke without restraint. It's also my fault that I've been so comfortable with everything going so smoothly lately that I've become a little cocky. Who told us that our Zilong Company's products occupy most of the market? I will change. I want to be like Miss Zhou and not show my emotions on my face!"
As he stared at Zhou Xiang's changing face, his smile became even more sincere as he said the last sentence.
