Thanks to the good news, Shengfang Group's stock price finally stopped falling as it did when the first quarter financial report was announced.
However, the progress of gene scissors application research has not made any progress and is difficult. In late May, the industry suddenly spread the rumor that HS Group has launched an unprecedented internal rectification, thoroughly investigating the corruption problem within the company. The subjects of the inspection are mainly from HS's research department.
But HS did a good job of keeping secrets. The serious corruption scandal had been circulating for more than half a month, but no one could say for sure which scientific researchers would be implicated.
As soon as Sheng Shaoyou got wind of the news, he immediately asked Chen Pinming to compile a list of corrupt scientific research backbones who were about to be purged by HS Group as soon as possible.
He used to hate corrupt officials, but if these corrupt officials came from the HS Research Department, things would be very different. They had to take advantage of the HS Research Department's major changes and throw life-saving driftwood to these anxious scientific and technological talents as soon as possible.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At a time when HS people are most turbulent, if not now to poach Shen Wenlang, when?
Chen Pinming has always been the most capable subordinate, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
When leaving the office, Sheng Shaoyou stopped him again and told him, "Secretary Chen, just go ahead and do this. You don't have to report to me before the results come out. I only look at the results and don't ask about the process, no matter what the cost."
Looking at his young boss's stern face, Chen Pinming nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Sheng."
For the following week, Chen Pinming was very busy.
Compared to Shengfang, which has been in Jianghu for more than a decade, HS is much younger. Unlike Shengfang, which has a strict and hierarchical work atmosphere, HS's team has always believed in efficiency first, and teams with less than 50 people often adopt a flat management model. Therefore, not only is the atmosphere between colleagues relaxed, but the centripetal force and cohesion within the company are also amazing.
Chen Pinming spent a lot of effort to bribe a few marginal people, but he didn't get any valuable information. Just when he was getting anxious, he suddenly remembered the phone call between Sheng Shaoyou and Hua Yong in the office after the morning meeting.
Hua Yong seemed to have just finished a meeting with Shen Wenlang, and asked Sheng Shaoyou softly on the other end of the phone what he wanted to eat in the evening.
Sheng Shaoyou didn't say what he wanted to eat, but smiled and asked him, "Didn't you say you worked overtime for several days? How come you have time to cook today?"
Hua Yong then explained softly that he got off work early today and there would be a company-wide team building after 2:30, so he made the excuse of not feeling well and planned to slip away home first.
Sheng Shaoyou laughed again: "When did you become so naughty? And you even learned to lie?"
"It was Mr. Sheng who led him astray." Hua Yong said.
Sheng Shaoyou's smile grew even bigger: "I led him astray? Why don't you say it was you who didn't choose a good student?"
"It's hard to learn to be good." Hua Yong on the other end of the phone seemed to be acting like a spoiled child. She lowered her voice, even the ending tone was soft, and said, "It's easier to learn to be bad following Mr. Sheng."
Chen Pinming walked out of the office, and suddenly a ridiculous and bold idea came to his mind.
On this day, Hua Yong got off work early. Sheng Shaoyou didn't say what he wanted to eat in the end, but only asked Hua Yong not to cook and take him out to eat later.
It was 3:17 in the afternoon. Hua Yong had just arrived home. He wanted to take out the book he hadn't finished reading yesterday and continue reading it.
However, just as he walked to the bookshelf, the doorbell rang.
He had no choice but to turn around and open the door.
Standing outside the door was a visitor Hua Yong had never expected. ——Chen Pinming.
Secretary Chen stood outside the door and greeted him politely, saying, "Boss Sheng knows that you got off work early today, and he was worried that you would be bored at home alone, so he asked me to bring you some books."
"Oh." Hua Yong said, "Thank you, Secretary Chen."
Chen Pinming changed his shoes and went in, and found that the house was much tidier than he imagined.
Sheng Shaoyou was born with a diamond spoon in his mouth, so it was unrealistic to expect him to do housework. However, Sheng Shaoyou and Hua Yong had agreed before that Hua Yong would use housework to deduct the rent, fearing that if he hired a nanny now, it would force this orchid with a strong self-esteem to not live long. Therefore, he specifically instructed that the servants should not set foot in this apartment.
But… Chen Pinming looked around the clean and tidy house, even the kitchen counter was shining, and was amazed. Could it be that this orchid, which had a face that could afford to eat and drink, was actually virtuous enough to cook? It was really dazzling and suitable for the family.
Compared with his previous Omega bed partners who only had pretty faces and cuteness, his boss really found a treasure this time!
"Secretary Chen, would you like tea or coffee?"
As Chen Pinming had investigated before, Hua Yong was well-mannered. His attitude towards Chen Pinming was similar to that towards Sheng Shaoyou.
Apart from not being a spoiled child to Chen Pinming, he also showed great respect. This was also very different from other Omegas who only used Sheng Shaoyou's secondary card to make a lot of purchases, spoke softly to Sheng Shaoyou, but bossed Chen Pinming around.
Chen Pinming couldn't help but feel a liking for Hua Yong. The specially customized pen bug in his pocket suddenly became hard and hurtful.
Since Chen Pinming said that the guest should follow the host's wishes, Hua Yong made him a cup of Darjeeling black tea and served it in a beautiful Meissen tea set. The tea color was distinct and the tea soup was a clear orange-red color.
Hua Yong's fingers holding the bone china were almost the same color as the china, so beautiful that Chen Pinming couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Secretary Chen, what books did you bring?" Putting down the teacup, the beautiful and gentle Omega in front of him asked curiously.
Chen Pinming took out the book he had prepared and handed it over.
Hua Yong was pleasantly surprised: "Ah, I was planning to buy this book "Human Words" this weekend."
Seeing Chen Pinming staring at him, Omega's expression changed from surprise to a little shy, "I loved this book when I was in middle school, and I always wanted to read it again, but I didn't have the time."
Chen Pinming said politely: "Mr. Sheng and you are in tune with each other."
Omega's face immediately turned red and he asked him, "Secretary Chen, do you really think so?"
"Yes." Chen Pinming made up a story: "This is the first book on the list that Mr. Sheng gave me. Have you mentioned it to him?"
"No."
"Oh, that's really telepathy." Thinking of the ease and joy that Sheng Shaoyou showed when he answered the call from this Omega, Chen Pinming said naturally:
"It can be seen that Mr. Sheng really likes you."
"Does Mr. Sheng like me?" Hua Yong looked very happy and smiled with his eyes curved: "Thank you for saying that. Oh, by the way, I baked some cookies, do you want some?"
Chen Pinming was worried about not being able to find a chance to be alone, so he nodded immediately and said, "Really? Now that I mention it, I am indeed a little hungry. Thank you for your help, Mr. Hua."
"No trouble." Hua Yong stood up and walked to the kitchen: "I baked two flavors, would you like to try them both?"
Chen Pinming thanked him politely again. After making sure Hua Yong had entered the kitchen, Chen Pinming stood up from the sofa, walked to the entrance, found Hua Yong's briefcase hanging on the bag rack at the entrance, took out the pen with the HS Group logo printed on it, and put the pen eavesdropping device he brought with him, which looked real enough, into the briefcase.
After completing this series of operations, Chen Pinming breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could completely let go of his worries, Hua Yong's voice suddenly rang out very close to him: "Secretary Chen."
Chen Pinming was startled and sweat broke out on his back in an instant. His mind was racing, thinking about what excuse he could make to scare this favored Omega.
This orchid is very special. Not only is it about to break Sheng Shaoyou's record of six-month dating duration, but in Chen Pinming's opinion, Sheng Shaoyou's interest in this dating partner has not diminished at all.
Chen Pinming's brain was working at an overspeed, and his temples were so hot that they were about to smoke. Unexpectedly, Lanhua was too naive. Not only did she not suspect anything, but she came over and asked him carefully: "Are you curious about the design of our company's pens? Your company doesn't have a uniform pen?" After that, she kindly suggested: "If Secretary Chen likes this pen, I can give it to you."
"Ah, no." Chen Pinming had finally put the thing into Hua Yong's bag, so he couldn't let him return it easily. He quickly explained, "Sorry, I thought this was Mr. Sheng's bag, and I wanted to help him replenish his business cards." As he spoke, he showed a slightly distressed expression, "Last time at a business occasion, Mr.
Sheng found that his business card holder was empty, and I got a big scolding."
Hua Yong smiled at him comfortingly: "Mr. Sheng is quite fierce and has a bad temper. Thank you for taking care of him."
Chen Pinming's conscience suddenly began to hurt.
But Hua Yong was obviously unaware of the condemnation of conscience that Chen Pinming was suffering. After comforting him with a few words, she shared with him some valuable experience that Hua Yong had summed up on "How to be a qualified secretary."
When it was almost time for Sheng Shaoyou to return home, Chen Pinming found an excuse to leave.
Holding his aching conscience, he left Hua Yong's apartment and sighed again that Sheng Shaoyou had really picked a pure and kind rare white orchid this time.
Sheng Shaoyou knew that Chen Pinming had sent some books to Hua Yong in the afternoon, but he didn't expect Hua Yong to like them so much. As soon as he got home, the little orchid rushed over to him, put her arms around his neck, and gave him two kisses.
Sheng Shaoyou was immediately overjoyed and pressed his neck to give him a deep kiss. The little orchid dodged with a smile and raised the book in her hand and said, "Secretary Chen said that these books were specially picked for me by Mr. Sheng, but how did Mr. Sheng know that this was the one I wanted the most?"
Sheng Shaoyou glanced at the book in Hua Yong's hand, then at his bright and charming smiling face, and thought to himself, this Chen Pinming is quite capable.
He put his arms around Hua Yong's waist, lowered his head to sniff his scent with ill intentions, and said in a low voice: "I guessed. But I still hope to be inside you sooner—" Hua Yong's ears turned red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Sheng Shaoyou, who had teased him, finished his words with a smile, stretched out his hand and gently pressed his lower abdomen: "I'll go inside you and become the roundworm in your stomach. This way, you don't have to guess in the future."
The person in his arms was used to having a thin skin, and the blush spread from the ears to the neck.
Sheng Shaoyou hugged him tightly and sniffed his neck.
Hua Yong shrank sensitively, but in the end he couldn't bear to push him away, so he let him push him all the way to the sofa.
Only when the little orchid was lying on its back, Sheng Shaoyou discovered that the curve of his chin was actually smooth and sharp, his facial features were too delicate, and there were too many sharp angles on his face. If it weren't for this pair of moist and tender eyes to buffer, Hua Yong's appearance would actually be extremely aggressive.
But when he looked at Sheng Shaoyou, his eyes were very soft, making Sheng Shaoyou feel that he had a lot of love from Hua Yong, so much that he would never be able to spend it all no matter how he squandered it.
On the sofa, Sheng Shaoyou, who was being watched gently, lowered his head and bewitched to kiss the two lips in front of him with the fragrance of orchids.
Hua Yong hugged him tenderly, her hands gently climbing his back, and opened her mouth to kiss him shyly.
Although this orchid didn't often express its love for him, Sheng Shaoyou was sure that Hua Yong really liked him.
