Chapter 108 Are you satisfied with this birthday gift?
Cheng Qian looked at the angry man with a sad look in her eyes.
Li Zhinan has someone else in his heart, but still asks her to fulfill her duties as a wife.
Cheng Qian's sadness turned into anger.
"Pa!" Cheng Qian stretched out her hand and struck the man's handsome face neither lightly nor heavily.
This slap woke the angry man up at the right time.
Li Zhinan was stunned and looked down at her.
Cheng Qian bit her red lips lightly: "Are you satisfied with this birthday gift?"
The next second, she reached out, pushed the man away, and turned into the bathroom.
Li Zhinan reached out his hand to touch the handsome face that had been beaten in disbelief, with a cold look in his eyes.
She actually... hit him?
This was the most outrageous thing she had done in the four years since they got married.
Like a kitten showing its claws and starting to scratch people.
Li Zhinan savored the power of the slap and found that he was not as angry as he had imagined.
On the contrary, Cheng Qian's fiery temper is much more interesting and lively than her stagnant personality.
The man who was furious just now calmed down after being slapped.
It is said that beating is affection and scolding is love.
What about Cheng Qian beating and scolding him?
Love is terrible?
Li Zhinan gave full marks for his understanding.
When Cheng Qian came out of the bathroom, she didn't see the man and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
At his birthday party, Cheng Yan laughed and made noises like a heroine, and this was probably what he allowed.
The elders of the Li family have tacitly accepted Cheng Yan's existence.
Cheng Qian knew that she had no other choice.
She wanted to divorce, take her son away, and seize his share of the property.
In the future, no matter whether her son engages in scientific research or likes to enter the business world, Cheng Qian has the confidence to support him, which means she has fulfilled her mother's obligations.
The next day!
A medical summit was held at the Science and Technology Museum in Jiang City, and Ji Nan arranged for Cheng Qian and Ji Yichen to attend.
Cheng Qian's continuous publication of papers made her increasingly famous in the medical community.
Compared with Cheng Qian's foundation, Cheng Yan also published several papers, but they did not make much splash.
On the way to the Science and Technology Museum, Cheng Yan seemed depressed.
Li Zhinan, who was standing by, saw her distress.
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing so early in the morning?" Li Zhinan asked her with concern.
Cheng Yan said distressedly, "Zhi Nan, I'm still not as good as my cousin in academics. Perhaps your investment in Cheng Group was a wrong decision."
"Don't say that." Li Zhinan said seriously, "I invested in Cheng's, partly to find drugs to treat Xiaowei, and partly because of you."
Cheng Yan's eyes brightened when she heard the latter part of the sentence. "Thank you for your loyalty and loyalty. I will definitely not give up. It's just... I heard that Dr. Lan is interested in taking an apprentice this time. I have already submitted an application to her, but I don't know if I can get the position."
Li Zhinan knew Dr. Lan Jie. She was one of the earliest experts in the research of antibiotics. Now she wanted to recruit a group of outstanding students to be her last disciples. I heard that there were only three vacancies at the moment.
"If you want to learn from her, I will help you get the spot." Li Zhinan said in a gentle tone.
"Really? Zhinan, thank you so much." Cheng Yan was extremely excited.
"Well, it's rare that you are so eager to learn. I will definitely help you get it." While Li Zhinan was speaking, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Chu Huaijing.
Dr. Lan is related to the Chu family, so it would be more promising to get this position through Chu Huaijing.
"Sorry, Zhinan, I'm afraid I can't get it." Chu Huaijing replied to his message immediately.
Li Zhinan was stunned and looked at Cheng Yan who was smiling expectantly beside him. He did not continue sending messages for the time being.
Arriving at the science and technology building, Li Zhinan said to Cheng Yan, "You go in first, I'll come over to listen in later."
Cheng Yan nodded: "Okay!"
In order to find a cure for his brother's illness as soon as possible, Li Zhinan has taken a step into the scientific research world.
He didn't want to miss any of the summits, he just wanted to give his brother's life a little longer.
Li Zhinan took out his cell phone and called Chu Huaijing.
"Zhi Nan, are you here to ask for a spot for Cheng Yan?" Chu Huaijing asked him with a smile.
Li Zhinan hummed, "Yes, Cheng Yan admires Dr. Lan very much and has always wanted to ask her for academic advice."
Chu Huaijing suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Zhinan, I did ask Dr. Lan for a spot, but it's already been taken."
"Really? What a coincidence?" Li Zhinan didn't expect that Chu Huaijing actually had other candidates.
"Yes, how about you go and ask Dr. Lan to recommend Cheng Yan yourself? With your financial resources, you will definitely succeed." Chu Huaijing suggested with a smile.
"Okay! I'll try." Li Zhinan said and hung up the phone.
He was about to step into the building when he suddenly saw two people getting out of an SUV not far away.
The two were talking and seemed to be having a good time when Li Zhinan narrowed his cold eyes.
Ever since Cheng Qian entered the seed laboratory, she has not only been highly valued, but Ji Yichen's relationship with her has also progressed by leaps and bounds, as if they were a couple.
Li Zhinan stood there, waiting for the two to come over, and then he discovered him.
Ji Yichen's eyes flickered, and he walked over with a smile: "Zhi Nan, why are you here?"
Li Zhinan's eyes fell on Cheng Qian's face: "I almost always come to the medical summit to take a look."
Cheng Qian ignored his gaze and said to Ji Yichen, "Brother Yichen, I'll go in first."
"Okay, I'll come over in a moment." Ji Yichen said gently.
Cheng Qian didn't say hello to Li Zhinan, but quickly passed by him and entered the hall.
Li Zhinan didn't like the feeling of being ignored, but he could do nothing about it.
"Zhi Nan, between you and Xiao Qian..."
"We're just having a disagreement. There are always minor frictions between husband and wife." Li Zhinan smiled and explained, "However, misunderstandings between husband and wife are like fighting at the beginning of the bed and making up at the end of the bed. It will be fine after this period of time."
Ji Yichen realized that Li Zhinan's explanation was unnecessary, and he laughed dryly to show his understanding.
Cheng Qian entered the hall and saw her name tag, which was placed next to Cheng Yan's.
Cheng Yan actually deliberately asked someone to change seats. At this moment, she saw Cheng Qian coming over, and a hint of good play flashed in her eyes.
Cheng Qian walked over, sat down, and opened the laptop she brought with her.
Cheng Yan greeted her with a smile: "Cousin, I heard that your laboratory was robbed last time. Is everything okay?"
"What? Are you very concerned about what's happening in my laboratory?" Cheng Qian asked her coldly.
Cheng Yan's smile froze, and she laughed dryly, "Not really, I just heard someone say it. I'm more concerned about whether my cousin has lost any important items."
"Don't worry, it won't be lost." Cheng Qian answered casually.
Cheng Yan stopped laughing for a moment and clenched her fists in frustration.
"Cousin, have you heard that Dr. Lan Jie is recruiting disciples? Do you have any ideas?" Cheng Yan found another topic to ask her.
Cheng Qian looked at the computer expressionlessly: "Don't disturb me, you're too noisy."
Cheng Yan was stung again and didn't want to talk anymore.
Cheng Qian has always been so aloof since she was a child, which is really annoying.
Sooner or later, she will tear off her cold mask and see how embarrassing she is inside.
Suddenly, a text message came in on Cheng Qian's cell phone which was placed on the table.
She took it and took a look. It was sent by Chu Huaijing.
Cheng Qian was a little surprised. What he sent her was a pile of information, including a form.
"Cheng Qian, fill out this form. I will recommend you to meet with Dr. Lan tomorrow at noon." Chu Huaijing sent another message.
Cheng Qian was surprised. She talked about this matter with Ji Nan. Ji Nan naturally wanted to get one of the three places for her, but she heard that Dr. Lan was very picky about her subordinates and would not accept ordinary people.
Ji Nan said that he would find a way to get this place for Cheng Qian. Now, Chu Huaijing suddenly sent this information over. Could it be that Uncle Ji has already obtained the place for her through the Chu family?
Cheng Qian thought her guess was correct.
She immediately expressed her gratitude and then lowered her head to fill out the information.
Cheng Yan thought to herself that when she became Dr. Lan's disciple, she would definitely make Cheng Qian look at her with respect.
She looked back at the entrance and saw two handsome figures, Li Zhixiang and Ji Yichen, sitting in the audience.
Cheng Yan immediately stared at Cheng Qian. She didn't expect that Ji Yichen would come with her.
So it seems that Ji Yichen really likes her?
In the audience, Li Zhinan stared at Cheng Qian's figure.
Because the occasion today was more formal, she wore a rather business-like suit with her long hair tied up high, looking neat and tidy.
She lowered her head and was writing something, very seriously and attentively.
Ji Yichen's gaze passed through the crowd and was also looking at Cheng Qian, his mind drifting away.
Li Zhinan’s words just now made Ji Yichen feel somewhat uncomfortable.
It was obvious that their relationship had come to an end, and everyone outside could see it.
Li Zhinan still insisted that they were just having a conflict.
What couple’s conflict would make them feel more unfamiliar than strangers?
During the morning summit exchanges, Cheng Qian also took the stage to give an academic speech. Her speech was graceful, clear and memorable.
"Zhi Nan, Xiao Qian is getting better and better." Ji Yichen said with a smile.
Li Zhinan nodded: "Yes, she has brought me many surprises recently."
As he spoke, Li Zhinan subconsciously touched the right side of his cheek. This was the side of his face where he was slapped yesterday.
"Are you reluctant to divorce her?" Ji Yichen asked with a smile.
"When did I say I wanted a divorce? Why don't I remember?" Li Zhinan was quite good at playing dumb.
"Last time when you were drinking, you drank too much and said this. I remember it." Ji Yichen would not let him lose his memory, so he reminded him.
"Really? I must have drunk too much and said that." Li Zhinan smiled sincerely: "Alas, alcohol is something you really can't get drunk on. It's easy to talk nonsense."
Ji Yichen's handsome eyes widened. Li Zhinan was just lying while sleeping with his eyes open.
"Divorce is no small matter. Luo Sheng, Fang Zhuo, and Cheng Yan were there at the time, and they all heard it." Ji Yichen's face darkened. "Xiao Qian is my sister. I care about her very much. I hope she won't be hurt in any way."
Li Zhinan's face darkened. Ji Yichen said this lightly.
younger sister?
Is she really just a sister?
"Yichen, do you think there is a simple brother-sister relationship between adult men and women?" Li Zhinan turned his head and asked him with a smile.
