Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Are you shy?
In the research institute, Qi Yan was having his pheromone extracted. The sharp gaze outside the transparent glass was quite noticeable, and it frightened the researcher who was originally preparing to extract the pheromone so much that his fingers trembled and he dared not start.
"It's okay, just draw directly. The sooner you draw, the sooner you'll be done." Qi Yan said.
The researcher, with trembling fingers, felt as if a thorn was on his back. He smiled bitterly: "This... I... am a little afraid..."
The gazes outside were so threatening, as if they would rush in and tear her to pieces at any time.
"I say, can you please stop standing here? It's really hindering our work!" Finally, Shen Yunshu couldn't stand it anymore. He pointed at Shen Xiliu who was standing outside the window and laughed angrily, "Why did you, a patient, come to the research institute? Is this where you should be?"
Shen Xiliu was even wearing a blue striped patient gown, standing outside the window with a pale and weak face, his eyes still fixed on Qi Yan and the researcher, his voice calm and firm: "I also said, since you want to use the two of us for experiments, you have to do it well. I will keep a close eye on the whole process to avoid any mistakes."
"That's because I didn't expect you to do this." It was a good thing that the two agreed, but it was also a troublesome thing. Shen Yunshu didn't expect Shen Xiliu to be so vicious as to observe the whole process.
All drugs and equipment had to be handled by him and could only be used after they were confirmed to be without problems. Even the staff involved in this research were selected by Shen Xiliu himself, which slowed down the progress a lot. Shen Yunshu, who was used to being a dictator in the research institute, felt for the first time what it felt like to be constrained.
"And Qi Yan is also a researcher. What do you have to worry about? Do you suspect Qi Yan as well?" Shen Yunshu tried to drag Qi Yan into the water.
Unexpectedly, he touched his nose, looked at Shen Xiliu, and said with a smile: “Uh… Director, I think Mr. Shen is just being a little cautious, there is no need to be so angry.”
The day he agreed, Shen Xiliu was in a very low mood, and the requests he made were obviously all about safety first. It was difficult for Qi Yan not to stand on Shen Xiliu's side, even though as a researcher he knew it was wrong.
"You call this being careful?" Shen Yunshu sneered, his tone mocking, "He removed all my right-hand men, and all the people and things involved in the whole process are under his control. People who don't know would think that he is the boss and I am the second in command. Wow, he really deserves to be the head of the PHY Scientific Research Institute."
No wonder Shen Xiliu chose to be the person in charge of Shen's Pharmaceutical Company. He would rather be busy day and night and take control of everything as soon as possible. It turned out that it was all for the purpose of controlling him from all aspects at this time. What a little bastard who turned against Tiangang!
"Safety comes first. I didn't blame you for using us for experiments." Shen Xiliu, who was standing outside, said lightly, as if he didn't understand Shen Yunshu's sarcasm.
"Tsk, I did that all for your own good. I even spent my precious time with you to treat your illness. Don't be so ungrateful." Seeing that Shen Xiliu didn't leave, Shen Yunshu simply put down the things in his hand, "Xiaoxuan, go aside first, I will give Qi Yan the pump myself."
When the researcher who had been listening to their endless argument heard this, he stuffed all the tools into Shen Yunshu's hands as if he had been saved, and stepped aside impatiently: "Okay, Director, no problem!"
Shen Yunshu didn't care about the piercing look, and directly stabbed Qi Yan with a needle. When he heard Qi Yan gasp, the eyes outside instantly became sharper: "Why are you hitting him so hard?"
Shen Yunshu said, "What's too heavy? You've been doing this for so many years. Don't talk nonsense. It's hard to extract alpha hormones! Look for your own reasons. After so many years, your body is still so bad and your mind is so twisted. Is it your problem?"
Shen Xiliu: “…”
“Puff!”
He couldn't help laughing, and when he met the sharp gaze, the researcher quickly covered his face, "Sorry, sorry, I was careless."
Shen Xiliu took a breath, stared at the hapless Qi Yan and the complacent Shen Yunshu, and suppressed the sarcasm that was about to come out of his mouth.
Qi Yan pressed the painful back of his neck with a cotton swab and smiled helplessly: "Director, I'll do it myself next time. Although it's a bit troublesome to do it alone, it's not impossible."
He accidentally became a victim of the internal strife between uncle and nephew.
"That won't do." Shen Yunshu rejected it outright, ignoring the murderous intent, "Without you, what can I use to provoke those annoying guys outside?"
Qi Yan: “…”
He subconsciously looked at Shen Xiliu, who was staring at Shen Yunshu expressionlessly. His cold face was very oppressive: "It seems that you don't want to do the project you just decided on. It just so happens that the funds are limited recently. I will help you veto it later."
"Huh?!" Shen Yunshu's expression froze instantly, as if his life force was grasped by someone.
Damn, I only want the alpha, not my uncle’s little bastard!
Shen Yunshu had never been short of money, but he never imagined that one day he would be threatened by his own nephew with this.
If it were someone else, Shen Yunshu would not take it seriously, but Shen Xiliu was not in his right mind. He could do what he said, so he had to take it seriously. So I can only admit defeat for the time being and get back on track later.
"Does the wound still hurt?" Seeing Shen Yunshu walk away dejectedly with the pheromone in his hand, Shen Xiliu restrained himself a little and was not as strict as before. He glanced at the back of his neck.
Qi Yan threw away the cotton swab, picked up the waterproof sticker and casually stuck it on his back: "It's okay, the director knew when to use it, it just hurts a little bit."
Chen Xiliu's expression eased a lot: "I won't cause you any trouble next time. Qi Yan, you should be more careful when doing experiments. If you find anything wrong, tell me immediately. Never use drugs or instruments without my permission."
“Mr. Shen, are you a little too cautious?”
Qi Yan found that Shen Xiliu was too vigilant. They were clearly in their own research institute and the person in charge was still Shen Yunshu, but he seemed to be naturally suspicious of everyone and everything.
Shen Xiliu stared at him, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and he smiled lightly: "...After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. Isn't it normal to be careful with the person you like?"
Plop! The confession came so suddenly that Qi Yanren didn't have time to react, but his heart did.
"If you had marked me directly at that time, I guess we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble now." Shen Xiliu said with a smile.
Qi Yan: “…”
His eyes drifted away, and he stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I seem to have something else to do..."
"Are you shy?" Shen Xiliu took a step forward and approached him, raising his eyes slightly, with a hint of smile in his narrow and beautiful eyes. The three teardrop moles under his left eye made him look a little bewitching, mysterious and charming.
Before confessing his love, Shen Xiliu drew a line between the two of them, always maintaining an appropriate distance, gentle and elegant, not appearing too distant nor too intimate, which would make Qi Yan feel uncomfortable.
But after the confession, this line became blurred. He did not hesitate to express his love for Qi Yan, whether it was the personal supervision of extracting pheromones just now or his current performance, all his actions showed his attention to Qi Yan.
He was not good at hitting straight balls, and this perspective of looking down at the opponent from above could easily cause heart rhythm irregularities. Qi Yan was distracted for a moment, and looked away uncomfortably. He rested his palms on the edge of the table behind him, and leaned his body quietly backwards.
"No, it's not... um, well, it's a little, too close."
He hesitated for a moment and decided to speak his true thoughts. Since he couldn't avoid it, he had to be honest.
Chen Xiliu's pupils lit up slightly, and his pupils curved, his smile became more intense: "Qi Yan, have you noticed? You have never been embarrassed to me before, but now..."
"Knock knock!" Two soft knocks on the door interrupted their conversation.
The researcher looked at the two people who were almost sticking to each other and reminded them calmly: "Qi Yan, the director is looking for you."
"Huh? Oh, I'll be right there."
When Qi Yan heard this, he immediately left the embarrassing situation, but after walking two or three steps, he stopped reluctantly and said to Shen Xiliu who was standing still: "Mr. Shen, you should go back to the hospital first. I will go with the director to check on your condition later."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come over." Shen Xiliu smiled, and he seemed to secretly breathe a sigh of relief as he left, his figure disappearing.
Then he slowly looked at the researcher, his tone becoming colder: "What's the matter?"
"Why do you have to do so many things at a time like this?" Shen Qingze pursed his lips and stared at him.
Shen Xiliu sat where Qi Yan had just sat, propping his face up nonchalantly, fiddling with the test tube with his fingers: "Wouldn't it be nice to give you a break? Shen Xiangting is getting married soon, and as a brother, it's not good for you to stay in the institute all day, right?"
"What does this have to do with Xiang Ting? I didn't delay my work because of Xiang Ting's matter, did I? Now the project in my hands has progressed to a critical step, and you have already fired a lot of people. If I leave again, the project will stagnate and all the previous efforts will be wasted. Even if you are the person in charge of the institute, you can't be so willful and reckless, right?"
Shen Qingze tried to speak calmly, but still could not hide the anger in his heart.
"Why are you so angry? You're not the one who resigned." Shen Xiliu said in a light tone, playing with the test tube and looking at him out of the corner of his eyes, as if with arrogant contempt, "Besides, you're just on vacation, just a vacation."
Shen Qingze pushed the door open, rushed to him and said angrily: "I don't want to take a vacation at all. Even if I want to take a vacation, there should be a time limit, right? Why can you say such a thing so lightly after you fired my assistant?"
Shen Xiliu finally looked up at him and said, "Are you so dissatisfied? If you are so dissatisfied, you can also quit. The institute does not need blind people."
"What do you mean?" Shen Qingze's eyes were red and his breathing was heavy.
"Nothing, if you don't want to leave, just give yourself a vacation."
Shen Xiliu put the test tube back into the test tube rack, stood up slowly, glanced at him with cold eyes, and a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
"If you were not a member of the Shen family, I would have dealt with you long ago."
