The research laboratory's gene scissors project is progressing slowly, and there are several key technical points that cannot be broken through. Chen Pinming submitted a new plan and suggested to Sheng Shaoyou whether he should try to poach Shen Wenlang with a high salary.
Sheng Shaoyou thought about it and decided not to act rashly. Shen Wenlang's technical team all had technical shares and were Shen Wenlang's confidants.
They must be difficult to dig out. If he acted rashly, not only would the success rate be low, but it would also be easy to alert the enemy.
Chen Pinming glanced at the brown paper bag and asked Sheng Shaoyou hesitantly if he wanted to try starting with Hua Yong.
Chen Pinming has already investigated Hua Yong's background. Hua Yong has a high degree of education and outstanding appearance, and is highly valued by Shen Wenlang. Recently, Shen Wenlang even brought him with him to the board of directors' decision-making meetings, and did not shy away from his presence at all.
Sheng Shaoyou was not very happy to hear this, his face darkened, and he thought: Even the board of directors does not avoid his attendance, but he cannot afford to pay for his sister's medical expenses, and has to go out to entertainment venues to work as a waiter to earn quick money.
According to the information, the reason why Hua Yong played for HS was because Shen Wenlang sponsored Hua Yong during his college years and arranged for his sister to live in Heci.
In order to repay her gratitude, Hua Yong signed a 15-year contract to sell herself to HS when she was in college. Shen Wenlang's treatment of Hua Yong was not low, but Hua Yong's sister lived in a private ward where money was burned like paper, so he was very short of money.
Chen Pinming analyzed that there would always be brave men under a huge reward, and as long as the money was spent properly, it would be very likely that the strategy would capture Hua Yong, who was already grateful to Sheng Shaoyou.
Sheng Shaoyou didn't feel anything about this plan, he just thought Hua Yong was stupid.
She is so beautiful but she doesn't know how to use her advantage. She is a top student with a high degree of education but she doesn't know how to adapt. What a waste of her beautiful face!
If it were any other person with a little bit of common sense, being sexually harassed in the office by a wealthy and famous person like Shen Wenlang would definitely try every means to extort a large sum of money from him.
But Hua Yong had no idea how to use these "shortcuts". This stubborn Omega could only go to Heci with tears in his eyes and ask the doctor to extend the payment date for the surgery.
Not to mention blackmail, he probably didn't even think about resigning. The reason why he didn't leave Shen Wenlang despite being sexually harassed was actually because of a stupid desire to repay a favor?
Sheng Shaoyou stroked the slightly raised corner of the brown paper bag, feeling very unhappy. On the one hand, he hated why he was not the one who sponsored Hua Yong's studies, and on the other hand, he wished he could catch that stinky wolf who harassed his innocent subordinates and eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!
At 7:30 in the evening, Sheng Shaoyou, who rarely went home for dinner, received a message from Hua Yong.
Hua Yong asked him if he had received the money.
Sheng Shaoyou had originally written "received", but after thinking about it, he deleted it and sent "no".
Hua Yong seemed very anxious and called immediately, but hung up immediately.
After a few seconds, the stupid orchid with a strong sense of self-esteem sent a new message.
"Mr. Sheng, are you available to answer the phone?"
Sheng Shaoyou smiled and called back.
"Mr. Sheng." Hua Yong's voice was very soft on the other end of the phone, as if she was calling him secretly while hiding from others.
Sheng Shaoyou said "hmm" and asked him, "What are you doing? Why are you so sneaky?"
Hua Yong replied quietly: "Waiting for Mr. Shen to start a meeting."
"So late?" Sheng Shaoyou frowned and said sarcastically, "Shen Wenlang is quite good at employing people. He doesn't pay much, but he assigns them work very enthusiastically."
Speaking of money, Hua Yong's voice became louder, but still soft: "Mr. Sheng, didn't you receive the money I paid back today?"
Sheng Shaoyou teased him deliberately: "What money?"
Hua Yong became anxious: "It's the brown paper bag that I asked Secretary Chen to pass on to you."
"Oh, that one."
"Did you receive that?"
"No." Sheng Shaoyou said, "Did you pay it back?
How come I didn't know?"
Hua Yong's breathing quickened. "How could that be? Secretary Chen promised me that he would help me pass it on."
Sheng Shaoyou could almost imagine his pale face on the other end of the phone. His heart was slightly clenched, itchy and numb. He pretended to ask casually:
"What time do you get off work?"
Hua Yong was stunned, as if wondering why he asked this, but he still answered honestly: "It will take another half an hour."
Sheng Shaoyou raised his wrist to check his watch, and estimated the driving distance from home to HS, and said, "It's hard to explain over the phone. I'll just pick you up from get off work on the way, and we'll talk in person later."
Hua Yong was probably really worried about the whereabouts of his 20,000 yuan, so he agreed without any hesitation.
Sheng Shaoyou asked the driver to leave work early and impulsively drove to the downstairs of HS headquarters by himself.
When they arrived, there were still ten minutes before the time he and Hua Yong had agreed to meet.
Sheng Shaoyou looked up and closed his eyes to rest in the driver's seat. After a while, there was a knock on the car window.
When Sheng Shaoyou opened his eyes, he saw Hua Yong approaching his car and looking inside hesitantly.
Hua Yong wore a professional suit today, which made her look more mature than when she wore a sweater that day, but not much more mature.
It was very cold at night in winter, and Hua Yong's nose and cheeks were red from the cold. Sheng Shaoyou pressed the unlock button, and he reached out to open the door and sat down shivering.
"Close the door." Sheng Shaoyou was not happy with him leaving the door half open, as if he was going to say a few words and leave immediately. His face turned from sunny to cloudy, and he whispered, "I'm freezing to death."
Hua Yong was frightened by his fierceness and immediately closed the door obediently.
As the air conditioner turned on, the temperature inside the car gradually rose.
Hua Yong stopped shaking, but still looked very cold and frail. He folded his arms and raised his face, looking anxious and innocent. He asked Sheng Shaoyou: "Mr.
Sheng, that money——" "That." Sheng Shaoyou said casually: "Chen Pinming sent me a message, saying that he forgot to give it to me in the afternoon and will pass it on when he arrives at the company tomorrow."
Hua Yong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Then, she assured him seriously, "I'll pay you back as soon as I get my salary next month."
"No need." Sheng Shaoyou looked at his red earlobes and cheeks from the cold and said compassionately, "You can pay it back once every six months. It's up to you how much to pay back. That little money is nothing to me."
"But—" "But what? Doesn't your sister still need follow-up treatment? You will have a lot of expenses in the future.
If you give it all back to me, what will you use to treat your sister? Do you have to cry and beg the doctor for more time?"
Hua Yong stopped talking for a moment, lowered her head, pursed her soft lips, and said after a long while: "Thank you, Mr. Sheng."
Sheng Shaoyou felt relaxed all over by being called "Mr. Sheng" in a soft voice, and for the first time ever, he smiled gently at him.
Hua Yong looked up and met his smile. Her face suddenly turned even redder, and her delicate earlobes were so red that they almost looked like blood.
Sheng Shaoyou approached him with malicious intent and asked him in a fake manner: "Is it hot? Why is your face so red?"
"No, not hot." Hua Yong avoided his gaze and said evasively, "Mr. Sheng, can I add you on WeChat?"
"Sure." Sheng Shaoyou took out his mobile phone generously and asked him to scan it.
Hua Yong scanned the screen with a red face, then put her phone away, thanked him earnestly, opened the car door and got out.
Sheng Shaoyou waited until just before going to bed and approved Hua Yong's friend request.
Now that you've added Synchronized Swimming, you can start chatting.
Not long after that, Hua Yong sent the first WeChat message between them.
Synchronized Swimming: "Hello Mr. Sheng, I am Hua Yong. [Smile][Smile][Smile]" Sheng Shaoyou put down his phone and ignored him.
I waited until the morning meeting the next day before I took out my phone and replied.
Leisurely: "Got it."
Unexpectedly, Hua Yong responded immediately.
Fancy Swimming: "Mr. Sheng, I baked some cookies this morning and asked someone to deliver them to your company's front desk. I didn't know what flavor you like, so I made the original flavor. I hope you don't mind. I hope you like it."
biscuit?
Sheng Shaoyou didn't like sweets, and rarely ate biscuits. But the morning meeting lasted too long, and he was a little hungry, so he called Chen Pinming to go downstairs to the front desk to bring up Hua Yong's biscuits.
Sheng Shaoyou had received all kinds of expensive gifts, and the homemade cookies were really shabby.
But the advantage was that the ingredients were sufficient and the heart was full of love. Although the orchid was clumsy, her craftsmanship was good. The cookies she made were not too sweet, and they were baked soft and crispy. There was also a small note written by Hua Yong in the bag, briefly sharing with him her feelings when baking cookies today.
"This is the second batch of today's products. The first batch was a little burnt because the temperature was not well controlled when baking, but I didn't waste it.
I ate it all! ^ ^" Sheng Shaoyou found it funny and opened WeChat to send a message to Hua Yong.
Youzaiyouzai: "It's better not to eat burnt cookies, as they can cause cancer."
Hua Yong was probably busy, and it took more than half an hour before he replied.
Synchronized swimming: "I made sure to spit out the burnt parts."
When Sheng Shaoyou received his reply, he was scolding his subordinates with a stern face. When he saw Hua Yong's message, his expression softened a little. He waved his hand and pardoned everyone, telling the subordinates who made low-level mistakes to get out immediately.
Since that act of kindness, Sheng Shaoyou had cookies to eat almost every day.
In the office drawer, various insignificant little notes written by Hua Yong accumulated more and more, which made Sheng Shaoyou feel that he, a 20-something adult, was having a primary school love affair. Sheng Shaoyou had never had a serious relationship with anyone, not to mention that the primary school students nowadays might not be so innocent. What era is it now?
They still use notes to convey love.
But for some reason, Sheng Shaoyou actually fell for it.
Gradually, he became like a fish that got used to being fed delicious bait every day. He would even secretly look forward to what flavor of biscuits he would receive the next day the night before.
Hua Yong's circle of friends is rich in content. When Sheng Shaoyou clicked on it for the first time, he was stunned for a moment by the photo on the cover that Hua Yong had casually taken.
The photo shows Hua Yong's face. He is holding a mug with an orchid painted on it, wearing a very ordinary sports hooded sweatshirt, and smiling happily at the camera with his head tilted.
For some unknown reason, Sheng Shaoyou moved his finger to the photo and long-pressed it to save it.
Then he wasted the entire afternoon browsing through Hua Yong's fragmented and meaningless Moments.
Hua Yong's daily life is very dull, but there are also some unfortunate but interesting things in it.
For example, this one: "Oh, I'm so stupid. I set the alarm wrong, got up late, took the wrong subway, and arrived at the company exactly one minute late! Ah!
Goodbye! Woo woo, my perfect attendance award! [cry] [cry][cry]", with the accompanying picture being an emoticon of a cat howling to the sky and a tiger crying wildly.
Hua Yong's Moments mostly record his mood on his way to and from get off work every day, visiting patients in the hospital, and other little things that happen in his life.
One of them took a picture of a cloud in the blue sky.
The caption reads: "He has a mean mouth, but a heart softer than clouds. Thank you, my Mr. X. [Shh] [Shh][Shh]" Sheng Shaoyou's heart moved, and he immediately looked up the date and found that it was the day when he met Hua Yong in the elevator. He was in a bad mood and couldn't help humiliating him, and then he helped him pay for the operation fee on a whim.
Mr. X?
Sheng Shaoyou couldn't help but laugh.
This orchid is really verbose, but it is also a little bit… cute.
