Under the eaves of a sunlit house overlooking the river, Hua Changle enjoys the river view from his own chair.
The sunroom not only has internal air conditioning but also external air conditioning, ensuring a relatively comfortable temperature around the house. There were some people inside, but Hua Changle didn't want to go in.
She Haoyun came out, holding two bottles of water in his hand.
"Here you go." She Haoyun handed her a bottle of water.
Hua Changle took it; it was at room temperature. She glanced at it; She Haoyun's bottle was covered in condensation, clearly having just been taken out of the refrigerator.
There were no seats outside, so She Haoyun stood against the wall.
After confirming that it was sealed, Hua Changle unscrewed the cap and gulped down several mouthfuls to quench his thirst.
Wild ducks splashed on the water, startling the fish into a frenzy. They swam away, leaving a white trail behind them, until they reached the Jiangxin Tower.
Jiangxin Tower is an ancient building dating back to before the disaster, standing firm for four hundred years despite the natural calamity. Although it is no longer suitable for entry due to damage and age, it still offers a unique view from a distance.
Countless birds rise and fall, the rooftops turn white, and the years pass without worry.
Hua Changle pulled his admiring gaze back and broke the silence between the two: "Didn't President She have something to say? Or did you just bring me here to watch the birds?"
She Haoyun said, "We're a couple, shouldn't you change the way you address me as 'President She'?"
"She Haoyun," Hua Changle immediately corrected himself.
She Haoyun raised an eyebrow: "I said we're a couple and you didn't react, so you don't mind maintaining this kind of relationship with me?"
"Mr. She."
She Haoyun raised his hand to make a "stop" gesture: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore."
We've only maintained this relationship in name only. Right now, to make it easier to catch up with you, I can't easily sever ties. Let's leave it at that for now.
Hua Changle propped his head up with his arm: "Let's get down to business. What exactly do you want to talk to me about?"
She Haoyun suppressed his smile, and while applying ice water to his face to cool it down, he said:
"Are you helping Hua Qingyun investigate the She family's business?"
Hua Changle said, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen me today."
"The Hua family is taking advantage of our relationship."
"I know."
"You don't mind?"
Hua Changle looked at him: "Didn't you take advantage of my relationship with the Hua family? Didn't I take advantage of your relationship with the She family?"
"..."
She Haoyun was speechless.
"I've forgotten some things, not become an idiot," Hua Changle said.
She Haoyun then asked, "Do you still remember those things you disliked about the exotic plant industry of the Huajialunling Group?"
"What's up?"
"It seems he doesn't remember," She Haoyun shook his head and said sarcastically.
"You've forgotten all the bad things about the Hua family, but you can't remember the good memories we shared. It's really..."
"I'd really like to hear what you mean by 'bad'."
She Haoyun explained in detail:
"Huajia has a complete industrial chain for cross-linked plant medicines, forming its own unique system from raw material cultivation to sales. In the cross-linked plant industry, the most difficult link is cross-linked plant cultivation."
"Especially in the research of heterologous medicinal agents, wild heterologous plants are difficult to capture and cultivate, and it is impossible to meet the production capacity demand. Artificial cultivation of heterologous plants is necessary."
"However, the conditions for cross-plant cultivation are demanding. Different cross-plants require different cultivation methods and environments, and necessitate a large number of personnel with specialized knowledge..."
"Stop!"
Hua Changle smiled and said, "No need for popular science, let's get to the point."
422 can just glance at these documents; why is he going around in circles here?
The last time someone said that was the last time.
She Haoyun wasn't annoyed by the interruption, and changed the subject, saying, "I'm telling you this so you know that the Hua family has many exotic plant cultivators, but... they have been imprisoned and exploited all along."
Hua Changle's expression changed slightly.
She Haoyun said:
"You're the one who told me that the Hua family has a large heterologous plant cultivation base, and the heterologous plant cultivators there can't leave the base and are engaged in heterologous plant cultivation work all day long."
“They perform high-intensity, high-precision work every day, supervised by a bunch of machines, and cannot rest, take vacations, or go home.”
"If I want to go home, the only way is to quit my job. And when I leave, my memories of that time will be erased."
"They're like a tube of toothpaste, constantly being squeezed out, until it's all used up and can be thrown away."
"And the Hua family has more than one such heterotrophic plant cultivation base."
She Haoyun squatted down beside her, his voice low:
You told me you hate the Hua family?
Because the Hua family is a prison.
People inside will go crazy.
The water bottle in Hua Changle's hand was slightly deformed, but other than that, she made no other obvious movements.
"Even if you've forgotten, your body instinctively hates this kind of thing, right?" She Haoyun's voice rang in my ears like a spell.
Hua Changle closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her tone calm:
Do you get paid?
"Wh-what?"
She Haoyun was squatting down when she suddenly asked such a practical question, which startled him.
"Will you pay me?"
"...Here you go."
Is the salary amount legal?
"Yes." How could the Hua family openly violate the laws revised by their own ancestors?
"Employees hired through interviews?"
"yes."
She Haoyun realized that things were starting to take a strange turn.
Is there a formal employment contract?
"have."
Is the work system formal?
"just."
Hua Changle looked at him, her eyes clearly saying, "Then what are you chattering about?"
"Your attempt to sow discord is... well, it's a psychological attack, but it's not very effective."
