Chapter 101 The Emotional Intelligence of a Straight Man
"Brother Mo, the Bai family's position in the base has always been awkward. Now that Liang Bei has established a relationship with the research institute, I'm afraid their arrogance will become even more arrogant. If Liang Bei really researches something, the other senior executives of the base will have to stand on their side. That would be very unfavorable for us, wouldn't it?"
Mu Qimai's words awakened Fu Xiangwen Shengxiu's brain. He half-raised himself and his brain began to work slowly.
"Liang Bei looks like she is only focused on her business and her mind is not on research. What can she come up with in the institute?" Shu Xin said disdainfully while biting the straw she was using to drink freshly squeezed orange juice.
"They are just a bunch of rabble, nothing to be afraid of. The Bai family has not yet settled the score for breaking into the villa. I hope they will learn their lesson and not come to me to be bullied."
Yan Mo looked at Shu Xin's habitual biting motion with disapproval.
Receiving Yan Mo's gaze, Shu Xin took the straw out of her mouth very consciously without waiting for Yan Mo to reach out, pretending nothing had happened.
"That's true. Liang Bei was just rescued by us. He would not stand against us so brazenly at this moment. If that were the case, it would definitely have a bad impact on his reputation in the base. Liang Bei cares so much about his reputation that he would not do something that would have a bad impact on himself."
Xiangwen lay back on the lazy sofa and leisurely analyzed Liang Bei's personality.
"His granddaughter has a crush on Xiao Lou, so I guess he will also make some efforts in this regard."
Makimai, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, suddenly spoke.
"Hiss!!! Wait! Wait! Let me see if you are possessed by some weird thing?"
Xiangwen, who was lying on the couch, sat up, ran to where Mu Qimai was, and looked him up and down.
"Xiang! Wen! What are you doing!?"
Mu Qimai's face darkened. He took away Xiangwen's hand that was messing with his head and said with gritted teeth.
"Let go! Let go! Your grip is too strong, you're going to break my wrist!"
Xiangwen struggled to pull his hands out from Makimai's ruthless subway grip.
"What on earth were you doing just now?!"
"I just heard you suddenly analyze other people's emotional problems. I felt that you were very abnormal. That's why I wanted to check whether you were possessed by some dirty thing."
"What's wrong?"
"Come on, is everything normal? I didn't expect you to be able to tell that Liang Bei's granddaughter likes Xiao Lou. This doesn't fit your image as a straight man."
"I'm straight, but I'm not blind. She showed it so obviously on the way back. If I still can't see it, I'm afraid you'll have to worry if there's something wrong with my brain."
Mu Qimai's face turned ashen, his tone was harsh, and he had the urge to strangle Xiangwen to death.
"Well, you can't blame me for this. It's mainly because of your usual 'don't get close to me' attitude that makes me think you don't understand anything about this."
“…”
Xiangwen blinked innocently and said something that choked Mu Qimai so much that he didn't know what to say.
Shu Xin buried her head in Yan Mo's arms, her body shaking with laughter, trying hard to control herself from laughing out loud. Yan Mo also had a smile in the corners of his eyes.
Unable to bear the way the other three people looked at him, Mu Qimai felt his old face turn slightly red. He forced himself to stand up and walked quickly upstairs.
“Hahahahahahaha…”
"Goose goose goose goose..."
As soon as Makimai turned the corner of the stairs, he heard laughter coming from behind him and went upstairs faster.
As Shuxin expected, Liang Bei was very concerned about his face.
In the past two days, their team had been welcoming visitors with the door closed, and had no idea what was happening outside.
I had just walked a few steps today when I heard people walking on the street discussing how Professor Liang, who had just joined the base, was grateful to the Xiao Lou team and how he kept them in mind so that people at the base would take care of them, etc.
Shuxin and his group, who were hiding in the corner, couldn't help but shake off the goose bumps on their arms after listening to what the person in front of them said.
They never expected that the Liang guy could be so shameless as to spread his own good image so much in the base. Almost half of the base was discussing things related to him. It seemed that the Bai family played a significant role in fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Liang Bei's purpose was simply to take advantage of the time when they were cut off from the outside world and give people the illusion that their team and Xiao Lou's team had a good relationship with him.
In addition, they use the reputation and strength of their team and Hsiao Lou's team in the base to highlight their own importance.
They were two of the top five teams in the base, and they participated in my rescue mission together. What does this mean? It means that I must be very important to the base!
Shu Xin originally didn't have any strong feelings towards Liang Bei, but after this trip, she successfully developed a dislike for Liang Bei.
Liang Bei was a famous biologist before the end of the world. He had published papers in major journals and had an award-winning research result that happened to be somewhat similar to the human gene mutation after the end of the world, which was of great help in the study of human genes after mutation.
So when the base knew that it was he who sent the distress message, they chose to send their team and Xiao Lou's team to carry out the rescue mission.
However, Shu Xin now feels that Liang Bei's honors and so-called "research results" are all questionable. The mentality and behavior he displayed are completely unlike what a person who is dedicated to scientific research would do.
There are no people who specialize in scientific research. After arriving at the base, they never asked a single question about the research institute. They didn't care at all about the incomplete scientific research data and equipment. They were only focused on building their own reputation.
Shu Xin even thought a little wickedly: Liang Bei's thesis and scientific research results couldn't be stolen from others!
Later, when the facts concerning Liang Bei were exposed to the public, Shu Xin was amazed at the accuracy of her inner intuition at that time. She never expected that her words would really come true!
