Liu Shaotong originally thought that Zuo Baozhu was just throwing a tantrum and would release him from the dark room in a few days. He didn't expect that she was serious this time.
For several days in a row, he couldn't get through to Zuo Baozhu on the phone.
He tried calling her from another number.
The call did go through, but after Zuo Baozhu answered, she just left a message saying "I'm sorry, I don't want you to get hurt", and then blocked the new number.
Liu Shaotong is very careful and no longer has the high spirits he had some time ago.
He held his phone in a daze. Why wasn't she in love? Or had he made a mistake somewhere?
Liu Shaotong only regretted that he didn't know Zuo Baozhu's best friend, otherwise he could have used this relationship to find out more. He knew that besides Shi Miao, the only people who had a good relationship with Zuo Baozhu were Cheng Zhiming and Li Mei, but it was obvious that these two people would not help him.
He definitely wouldn't want to give up after making some progress.
We can't just sit there and wait for death!
Liu Shaotong waited for a few more days and finally a heavy rain came.
He originally wanted to cover himself with an umbrella, wait for the bribed security guard to tip him off, and then wait for the people to come out before getting wet in the rain and acting pitiful.
But then he thought, Zuo Baozhu was Shi Miao's apprentice after all, and it would be bad if she found out. So he threw away his umbrella and stood in the pouring rain, feeling the chill of the rain. Especially after his suit got wet, it was even more sticky.
Liu Shaotong, thanks to his family background, good looks, and academic credentials, has always been surrounded by women eager to get close to him. However, his father, hoping to use his chastity as a selling point to find a more powerful marriage for him, has prevented him from engaging in philandering like other family members. However, he possesses a certain pride and a certain disdain for women.
But the current leader of Xuanmen is a woman, and in order to pursue her disciple, he has to be humble.
He could only comfort himself that for the sake of his career, he had to make some sacrifices. If he married Zuo Baozhu, it would not only save him ten years of hard work.
However, he bribed the guards by using the Liu family's connections, which also meant that the news easily reached his cousin Liu Shaokang.
Liu Shaokang just wanted to sneer. Is his cousin trying to use a self-torture trick?
For a young girl like Zuo Baozhu who was inexperienced in the world, the self-torture trick could easily soften her heart. If her cousin succeeded, he would definitely be the heir to the family, and he would have to be inferior to him from then on.
So he took the initiative to order a midnight snack from the Michelin restaurant and had it delivered when everyone was about to finish their work for the day.
Liu Shaokang usually has a very good reputation in the laboratory, and this Michelin restaurant is very famous. Everyone was hungry after a hard day's work, so they happily stayed for a midnight snack.
Zuo Baozhu also ate her portion.
Liu Shaokang toasted Zuo Baozhu and said, "Thanks to Baozhu, the recent experiments have been very successful."
After working with Zuo Baozhu for a while, he finally got to know what it meant to be a walking koi fish. He had previously inquired about this, and he knew that the lab had been working on this project for over a year, but none of the previous experimental variations had met their expectations, with repeated failures.
The person in charge of the experimental project heard about Zuo Baozhu's reputation and invited her over.
As a result, within a month of Zuo Baozhu's arrival, they had already cultivated the desired strain, which meant they were halfway to success. Because of this, everyone was in a good mood these past few days.
Zuo Baozhu waved her hand, "It's mainly because of everyone's efforts... Even without me, we will succeed sooner or later."
Others don't think so.
If possible, they would have loved to have let Zuo Baozhu stay forever. Unfortunately, Zuo Baozhu could only stay for three months at most. After all, she was very popular now. The fact that their laboratory could keep her for three months was a testament to the professor's extensive connections.
Another girl took out her cell phone, opened a game she often played, and asked Zuo Baozhu to help her draw cards.
After successfully hitting the target, the girl took a screenshot, posted it in the game group, and showed it off to everyone.
Thinking about not having Baozhu anymore, they began to feel sad and toasted to her one by one. Putting aside her good fortune, Zuo Baozhu herself was also a very likable girl.
Zuo Baozhu responded with fruit tea, as she usually doesn't drink much.
After drinking several glasses, she went to the bathroom and saw Liu Shaokang when she came out.
Liu Shaokang's face was a little red and he looked a little drunk.
Zuo Baozhu complained in her heart: He and his cousin are indeed a family, why do they like to pretend to be drunk and tell the truth so much?
"Baozhu, may I ask you why you have been avoiding me? Is there something I did wrong?"
Liu Shaokang hadn't made any progress, and with Zuo Baozhu leaving in about a month, he couldn't just follow her wherever she went; that would be too obvious. So tonight, he went all out.
Zuo Baozhu blinked—what she had not intended to say was what he himself needed to know.
"Oh, your cousin reminded me that you came here for my qualifications and background."
"It says you have several good sisters."
Well, this is also what Liu Shaotong said. He said that Liu Shaokang did not have many girlfriends, but he had several good sisters who were not related by blood.
Zuo Baozhu knew that it was to engage in ambiguous behavior under the guise of being a brother or sister.
Zuo Baozhu said: "I already have the best brother in the world, I don't need another one."
You should stay away from creatures like your brother-in-law!
Liu Shaokang almost bit his teeth and his expression was out of control for a moment.
Oh my god, it turned out to be his cousin who sabotaged him. He was wondering why Zuo Baozhu was so nice to him at the beginning, but suddenly became distant.
