In the middle of the second quarter of this year, the research progress of Shengfang Bio's gene scissors application was still worrying. For this reason, Shengfang Bio invested more than 3 billion yuan in the first quarter, but it was like a drop in the ocean, without even a splash.
The ugly business report made Sheng Shaoyou, who had just sat in the position of chairman, lose face.
His insistence on personnel reform in the research group had already disturbed the cheese of the stubborn conservatives. If he could not show solid performance, the original complaints would turn into collective anger.
Sheng Shaoyou was under tremendous pressure from all sides. On the one hand, he demanded to continue to increase investment in research and development. On the other hand, he asked the human resources department to work with professional headhunters to extend a more tempting olive branch to more experts in the application fields at home and abroad.
Just when Sheng Shaoyou was in a state of panic, a delegation from the International Business Department of X Holdings suddenly came to Jianghu and began to contact several biological groups in Jianghu that had potential for cooperation.
HS Group was prominently listed on the invitation list. In addition to HS, X Holdings also invited many companies that were far inferior to Shengfang in terms of scale, production capacity, and past performance.
I heard that the chief person in charge of the delegation is Chang Yu.
Thinking of Secretary Chang's rough bones and hard lines on his face, Sheng Shaoyou almost doubted whether he had done something wrong and offended the other party at the dinner party of the president of the Jianghu Chamber of Commerce that day. Otherwise, why was Shengfang Biology, which was very advanced in all aspects, the only one missing among so many invited companies?
But how could that be possible? Sheng Shaoyou recalled his performance that night. Although it was not impeccable, it was at least well-balanced and polite. How could he not be appreciated by the right-hand man of the current head of X Holdings?
To make matters worse, just when Sheng Shaoyou was working overtime and struggling to make ends meet, his susceptible period came.
At first, he was just tired. Every day after get off work, he was so tired that he didn't even want to talk, let alone go out for fun and socializing. Fortunately, the little orchid liked to be quiet, and seeing Sheng Shaoyou's tired face, it obediently didn't disturb him.
With Sheng Shaoyou's sparring, Hua Yong's massage skills improved by leaps and bounds. That night, seeing Sheng Shaoyou's shoulders stiff from fatigue, she took the initiative to offer to give him a massage.
Sheng Shaoyou walked into the empty room specially designated for SPA, took a bath and then lay down on his stomach. The delicate hands of the Omega were pressed against his skin, and the rich and elegant orchid fragrance made him drowsy. The fatigue of the past few days was also relieved, but the desire for the orchid fragrance inside his body became more and more obvious.
Sheng Shaoyou closed his eyes, thinking about the dinner party that Chen Pinming reminded him to attend this afternoon. It was a social dinner party organized by a wealthy businessman from Jianghu City. It was tomorrow. They learned today that Chang Yu would also attend the party.
As he was approaching the susceptible period, Sheng Shaoyou had not planned to attend any public events, but considering that the head of the X Holdings delegation would be there, he decided to go anyway, at worst he could put on a suppression patch. - Alphas who have entered the susceptible period tend to be restless, releasing pheromones uncontrollably, extremely hostile to other individuals of the same sex, and crave the comfort of Omega pheromones.
If other Alphas releasing pheromones is just a lack of public morality, then it is simply a disaster for S-level Alphas to release pheromones uncontrollably and indiscriminately in public.
In the past, when the susceptible period was approaching, Sheng Shaoyou would always take an Omega out for vacation and try not to appear in crowded places. But this time was different. Shengfang Bio's investment in the application of gene scissors was endless, and it was impossible to save money, so it could only work hard on open source.
Sheng Shaoyou must strive for more external cooperation as soon as possible to create more fresh blood for Shengfang Group and obtain positive cash flow on the profit side.
On the day of the dinner, Chang Yu arrived late, and Sheng Shaoyou, who had entered early before the sign-in time, was waiting for him anxiously. Sheng Shaoyou hadn't been out for a social event for a while, and when he showed up, all the business friends he hadn't seen for a long time came up to him, and the complex pheromone smell almost made Sheng Shaoyou, who was about to fall over.
Enduring the dual agitation of body and emotion, and dealing with various business partners whom he could not afford to offend, Sheng Shaoyou held the champagne glass and clinked glasses gracefully with every guest who came to greet him.
A few second-generation people who were unfamiliar with him and had just come to see the world gathered together and discussed in a low voice.
"As expected, the business world is like a battlefield, there is no real emotion. Look, the prince in Shengfang is smiling so hard that his face is almost frozen."
"But he's really handsome! Even if there's no real love, I'd love to have him just for this face!"
After a round of socializing, Sheng Shaoyou felt that the pheromone patch on the back of his neck seemed to be soaked with sweat. He had been in contact with too many people, and the pheromones in his body were ready to move, and there was a risk of leakage.
"Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
Sheng Shaoyou smiled and said goodbye to a certain famous Omega who came over to chat with him. He casually placed the champagne glass on the waiter's tray and hurried to the bathroom.
The inhibitory patch was indeed soaked with sweat, and the mixed aroma of bitter orange and rum continued to overflow from the wet inhibitory patch. Sheng Shaoyou angrily stroked his hair, tore off the inhibitory patch, and took out the replacement that he had prepared long ago.
Chen Pinming had been paying attention to his employer's condition the whole time. When he saw Sheng Shaoyou enter the bathroom, he immediately followed him in. There was no one else in the bathroom, and as soon as Chen Pinming stepped in, he felt a terrible sense of oppression overwhelming him.
Fortunately, he was just a Beta and was not sensitive to the smell of pheromones. He walked in, enduring the pain of not being able to raise his head. At a glance, he saw Sheng Shaoyou tearing off the release paper behind the inhibitory patch with an irritated look on his face, and stretching out his arm to try to stick the new inhibitory patch on the back of his neck.
Chen Pinming realized it belatedly and wanted to turn around and lock the bathroom door, but it was too late.
Sheng Shaoyou's hand with the restraining sticker suddenly paused, he raised his head, and looked at the door fiercely. Chen Pinming, who didn't have time to lock the door, suddenly felt that something was wrong. The A-level Alpha who walked in slowly at the door of the bathroom, who else could it be but Chang Yu of X Holdings?
Chang Yu was forced to take a few steps back by the strong pheromone smell of the top Alpha, and his face immediately turned gloomy.
At the bathroom door, a Beta in his thirties dressed in a suit and tie apologized to him awkwardly: "Secretary Chang, I'm so sorry."
Chang Yu recognized that this was Chen Pinming, the secretary of the newly appointed chairman of Shengfang Biotechnology. He asked unhappily, "Is Mr.
Sheng in there?"
Chen Pinming couldn't deny it, but he didn't want to admit it rashly. After all, nothing could offend people more than high-level pheromone suppression. Moreover, judging from the current attitude of X Holdings that obviously ignored Shengfang Biology, this Secretary Chang might have been offended by his employer inadvertently. If there was another pheromone suppression today, it would be like adding insult to injury.
Such a collision was no longer a simple offense, but a naked humiliation.
But even if Chen Pinming didn't say it, Chang Yu still guessed it. There were only a handful of S-level Alphas at the entire dinner, and the only one Chen Pinming would keep an eye on was Sheng Shaoyou.
Chang Yu raised his lips in an ambiguous way and said, "Mr. Sheng is so grand that he has to rely on pheromone suppression to occupy the entire bathroom just to go to the toilet? I have experienced the arrogance and dictatorship of Shengfang creatures."
After saying this, he backed out and left with a stern expression.
Leaving Chen Pinming, who looked at a loss, and Sheng Shaoyou, who was inexplicably implicated, in the bathroom.
His original plan was to pretend to meet by chance at the dinner party and leave a good impression. If all went well, he might even be able to secure an opportunity for a formal negotiation with Shengfang Biology. However, he died before he could achieve his goal.
This susceptible period seemed particularly difficult to endure, and Sheng Shaoyou felt that he was somewhat out of control. Even during his first susceptible period, he had never encountered a situation where he could not control the release of pheromones.
The differentiation of S-level is not only reflected in the pressure. S-level Alpha also has excellent physique, physical strength and self-control far beyond other Alphas.
Before this susceptible period, Sheng Shaoyou had never experienced the feeling of being unable to control his body. But this time, his pheromones seemed to be out of control, not under his willpower, and always popped up at inopportune times.
On the day before the susceptible period, except for the Beta employees, no other A or O in the company dared to approach the big boss who was on the verge of a pheromone outburst.
Sheng Shaoyou had to be forced to finish work early and go home.
Surprisingly, Hua Yong, who was supposed to be at work, was also at home. Seeing Sheng Shaoyou come back early, he didn't seem surprised. He frowned and walked over to help him up, "Mr. Sheng, you look so bad."
The faint orchid fragrance made Sheng Shaoyou, who had been restless all day, feel a little better, as if a fresh, clear cold spring suddenly poured into the dry, smoking, cracked land. His extreme thirst was relieved, leaving only an endless aftertaste of emptiness.
What a nice smell, orchid…I want more.
Hua Yong didn't peek at him with a red face like other Omegas in the company, nor did he avoid him like other Alphas. He held Sheng Shaoyou's arm with his warm palm and looked at him gently: "Do you want to lie down on the bed? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
On the bed? Lie down for a while?
Sheng Shaoyou hugged the little orchid in front of him, his lips against the orchid-smelling neck, his hot breath sprayed behind his ear, and he said to him coquettishly: "Hua Yong, I feel so uncomfortable."
Hua Yong laughed softly, as if she really liked him being coquettish with her, and gently hugged him back, stroking his back: "I know, I know. Let's go to bed, okay?"
"Okay." Sheng Shaoyou said in a hoarse voice.
Hua Yong supported him and took him to the master bedroom, taking off his coat and shoes. Sheng Shaoyou held him tightly and refused to let go, and his overly clingy behavior made Hua Yong's work very difficult.
But the orchid was not angry or impatient at all, and coaxed him gently: "Mr. Sheng, let go of your hands and lift your legs. How can I help you take off your pants like this?"
"No." Sheng Shaoyou pestered him and refused to let go: "I don't want to take it off."
Hua Yong smiled helplessly, her laughter was light but very gentle: "But if you don't take it off, how are you going to sleep?"
"I'm not sleepy." Sheng Shaoyou buried his face in his beloved Lanhua's neck and murmured, "I feel so uncomfortable, but you don't feel sorry for me at all…" He rubbed his cheeks and lips against the cold neck of the person in front of him and refused to let go no matter what.
Hua Yong had no choice but to lie down on the bed with Sheng Shaoyou in his clothes.
Sheng Shaoyou's susceptible period was expected, but his clinginess far exceeded Hua Yong's expectations.
The Alpha's extremely cute dependence and obviously suppressed desire made Hua Yong's heart extremely soft, incredibly soft.
The scent of orchids in the room became noticeably stronger, and mixed with the strong aroma of alcohol and wood, it became enchanting and charming.
Sheng Shaoyou said he was not sleepy, but under the powerful soothing pheromone of Hua Yong, he slowly closed his eyes. He unconsciously released the S-level Alpha who had suppressed the pheromone all the way, and fell asleep holding the orchid in his arms, who was very much in line with his wishes in every aspect.
Hua Yong remained calm despite the high concentration of oppressive pheromones that was enough to make Shen Wenlang, an equally top-level S-level Alpha, feel pain. He gently gathered the strands of hair that fell on Sheng Shaoyou's cheek, leaned over and gently kissed the Alpha's unconsciously half-open light-colored lips.
Gently said: "Good night, Mr. Sheng, have a good dream."
