"……What did you say?"
Xu Shi's calm words directly made Xie Qingyan's head explode, "Double powers?"
No matter how many things she could consider, this was something she never expected - everything must be analyzed based on "something", right? Shen Qin has been at Xu Shi's place all the time, and she has never had much contact with him. It would be weird to come up with such a concept.
Xu Shi kept this secret very well, and most of his own people knew about it, but the showdown with Xie Qingyan was only today.
"Well, I noticed it accidentally. I followed the clues and found out something amazing."
Xu Shi nodded, this was the main thing he wanted to talk about. It would take time to prepare for overseas expansion, and this was a very critical part of it.
It is a no-brainer to cooperate with Xie Qingyan. Who is better at biotechnology? He knew from Jiang Chengcheng's reluctant tone of agreement that she really couldn't do this, and even if she could, it would probably be very troublesome.
Just now we happened to talk about the topic of "giving up intrigues and joining hands for a better future", so it seems more logical to bring this up.
"……interesting."
After reading the information he got from Shen Qin, Xie Qingyan raised the corners of his mouth, "You really can always come up with something new... Now I don't worry about the days before going to sea becoming boring."
She is a serious top student in this field, so she naturally has more say than Su Lin and Jiang Chengcheng. It can be seen from her eyes that the power transplantation project does not bring her the same attraction as the previous "super "Limited plan" is small.
"According to your estimation, when can we get an idea?"
Xu Shi asked again after hearing the words.
"If we start from scratch, God knows how long it will take. It could be several years or even ten years."
Xie Qingyan smiled, "But it would be much easier if there are reference answers to copy...the completion of these documents is not low, we just need to improve in this direction."
"You and I work together, and within three months at most, I can give you a result."
She confidently assured, "Of course, it's based on the premise of "Prism" leading, you are not good at this. "
"Can."
Xu Shi didn't object. Professionals do professional things, and adding superfluous things will only make things more difficult. Anyway, he has nothing else to do recently, so he just needs to keep an eye on him.
Xie Qingyan is also very happy. Her ambitions have never been limited to intrigues, annexing this and controlling that. She is equally enthusiastic about biotechnology research.
Or maybe this is the right way to leave a name in history. Hundreds of years from now, people may not remember who the rulers of this city were in that era, but they will definitely remember the pioneers who created a new generation of things.
Of course, she can't do the former now... She was the one taking advantage of the situation in this riot, and there was someone else who was really controlling everything behind the scenes.
So, after being happy for a while, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and looked at him with strange eyes for a long time.
"What are you doing? I know I'm handsome, but you don't have to look at me with such perverted eyes, right?"
Xu Shi was shocked by what she saw, and subconsciously touched his face. What was on it?
"...I'm not the first to know about the dual powers, am I?"
The dog woman's tone began to turn sour. In fact, she knew the answer to this question without asking it. It had been a while since the riots ended, and she was the first to ask the question.
"Why do you ask?"
Xu Shi blinked and said innocently.
"Just say it or not."
Xie Qingyan sighed, "For example...that Xia Wuyou must also know?"
"of course."
Xu Shi admitted generously that Xia Wuyou was the first to know. Don't forget, he only noticed this small detail through her fight with Shen Qin.
"Then her elder must also know?"
The dog woman pursed her lips and her eyes became increasingly evil, "Including that little girl named Gu Yi?"
There's another thing that doesn't need to be asked. Naturally, Su Lin didn't run away. Everyone knew about her relationship with this bitch, so it would be weird if they didn't know about it.
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
Xu Shi didn't answer her boring questions one by one. He leaned on the table and drank some water.
"I just want to know, besides me, who else doesn't know about this?"
Xie Qingyan's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and he came closer to him word by word.
"That's a lot. For example, I haven't had time to tell my grandpa, and neither has Qi Maoyang."
Xu Shi put down the water glass as if nothing had happened and looked at her calmly.
"Oh, so I'm just in front of Qi Maoyang, right?"
These words almost made Xie Qingyan angry to death. He was a little short of breath for a moment. What kind of donkey was Qi Maoyang who was so pinched? If he had made the right bet, he would be the next one to be dealt with by "Prism"!
In the end, your surname is Xu, and you compare him to my mother? Are you a human being?
Thinking of this, the dog woman only felt sour in her mouth.
"You...must be so distant from me?"
As if by mistake, she blurted out.
"Are you OK?"
Xu Shi looked at her as if she had seen a ghost, my dear, is this the expression you should show as a villain who is more ruthless than me? "Besides, when did I alienate you?"
He felt that he was really wronged, "Conscience of heaven and earth, from the "Exceeding Limit Project" to now, what thing have I missed from you? This time, I’ll give you a chance to win, okay? If this is alienation, then what is closeness? "
"You know what I mean, don't act stupid."
Xie Qingyan sighed and said, "Don't forget, I am your fiancée, Xu Shi."
As soon as she said this, even a fool knew that she was jealous. Yes, she was jealous now... Although she didn't want to admit it, Xie Qingyan couldn't deceive herself.
Since she couldn't lie, she wouldn't lie, but she felt even worse when she admitted it.
Actually, who comes first and who comes last doesn't seem to be a particularly important issue. After all, she knows in her heart that the only one who can really help Xu Shi in this matter is her, and the other party will come to her sooner or later.
But it's wrong to think about it the other way around. Since I'm the only one who can help you, why didn't you come to me earlier? Even after the riot, except for routine meetings, Xu Shi never contacted her at all. He had to keep a close eye on her, and was eventually caught by him like a stalker.
The same thing applies to Xia Wuyou last time. Besides Xie Qingyan, who can help him cure that little white-haired girl?
It's not that I can't be thanked afterwards. The inside information Xu Shi gave is of immeasurable value. Even now, the investments I put in Sin City in advance have begun to appreciate... Not to mention this time, the benefits are higher than last time. Even bigger.
Logically speaking, this should be a very happy thing, but she just felt uncomfortable.
This is why she is particularly hostile to Xia Wuyou... Su Lin is fine. She has been serving the Xu family since she was a child. What can you say?
But Xia Wuyou was a serious person, and I had never heard of this person before.
But Xu Shi was able to ask him for help for her, leaving her hands bruised, let alone those days in the hospital... I knew it was a hospital, but I didn't know what kind of banknote it was.
Anyway, she had never seen Xu Shi take care of anyone so much. On the other hand, she only had the purest cooperative relationship with him, and there was nothing except money and goods.
I always feel like... things shouldn't be like this.
"oh."
Hearing what she said, Xu Shi paused, then pretended to be surprised and said, "So?"
"If I remember correctly, it seems that you alienated me first, right?"
This was a very serious question, and it made Xie Qingyan wake up instantly.
Really... It seems like hey, my previous plan seemed to have been to annex "Shark Teeth", and then rely on the power of the two-in-one to push back the "Snake Ring". Even as early as high school, I had already worked with He gradually lost contact...
"If you're talking about this alienation, that's true."
Xu Shi added, "Think about it from my perspective. If you were in my position, it's hard to say whether you would be so tolerant, right?"
"Then it's understandable that I can't completely open up to you?"
Xie Qingyan was silent.
Admittedly, there is nothing wrong with what the dog man said. If the roles of the two were reversed, it would be fine if she did not tear each other into pieces, let alone continue to cooperate so happily...
From this perspective, she was indeed ashamed of Xu Shi.
But she also had something to say, and she retorted weakly, her body a little unsteady, "But isn't that also because of the way you were before... In your words, if you think about it from another person's perspective, you would be willing to marry a supporter. Are you a dandy who doesn’t want to go to the wall?”
"……you're right."
Xu Shi did not deny her statement. He really couldn't see it before, and he really couldn't say with a shameless face that he had no problem at all.
I can only say that this is a bad debt. I am not strong enough or charming enough, so I cannot expect everyone to be like my good sister Su Lin, who will never leave me. She is one of the few.
"So, isn't it good to keep the status quo?"
He curled his lips and smiled. Anyway, he thought it was good. It would be difficult to find a partner like Xie Qingyan again.
But let’s go a step further. This woman is stunning, but she is a rose with thorns. You still have to be careful when dealing with her.
Xu Shi does not deny that he is lustful, but he is not a fool, and he has no other thoughts about Xie Qingyan, at least not yet.
"If you think so...that's not bad."
Hearing what he said, Xie Qingyan was visibly disappointed, but he still tried his best to smile.
She originally thought so too. It was enough to maintain a good and equal cooperative relationship, but she didn't think so now. Otherwise, why would she say such a thing?
Especially when she heard Xu Shi say that, she even felt a little heartbroken.
If I could be as loyal to him as Su Lin before, would the ending be different now?
But it's a pity that there are no what-ifs in this world, the situation is like this now, and the key is that it was her fault - Xu Shi thought it was a bad debt, but she knew that even if they fought separately, she would still suffer more. that side.
"I... will go back first, just pretend I didn't say anything."
She smiled self-deprecatingly, "I will arrange the power transplantation as soon as possible, and I will inform you when the time comes... Don't forget to send someone to keep an eye on it."
"sure."
Xu Shi agreed with a smile on his face, "It's almost noon, let's have a meal together before leaving?"
"No."
Xie Qingyan waved his hand and left in despair.
Looking at his fiancée's lonely back, Xu Shi picked up the water glass with interest and touched it to the air.
Oops, ouch, I always feel that she is a little pitiful.
Anyway, he never thought that Xie Qingyan would take the initiative to say such words to him.
After all, she is a cold-blooded villain... Not only is it written in the original book, but he himself has experienced it himself. As he grows older, dog women become more and more cold-blooded and indifferent.
I didn't expect that I was still a tsundere inside. I could even say that I was a tsundere, right? You should dye your hair blonde and then hold hands with Ying Lili and become friends.
No, you are more outrageous than Yinglili. You are a bad woman, so it must be Yinglilili.
Anyway, he had no sense of guilt. Even if the water he spilled could be recovered, it would still be a pool of muddy water that had lost its original clarity.
He wouldn't touch a rose with thorns even if it was beaten to death. Otherwise, his hands would be full of blood, and he couldn't pull out the thorns... He didn't want to use his power on Su Lin and Tang Shuang, but he couldn't do it on Xie Qingyan. I'm sorry. Not so.
But... what if the thorns on the rose fall off on their own?
Xu Shi's expression became more playful.
Sure enough, bad women should be tortured severely.
…
Ye Shanshan has been waiting for Xie Qingyan downstairs, but the other party deliberately did not let her accompany him, so she could only work as a coolie driver.
After playing the game out of boredom for who knows how long, she finally saw the other person get out of the car and get in the car.
"Thank you, Director."
The little curly hair entered the state in a second, "How did you talk with Xu? Is the situation okay... What's wrong with you?"
Xie Qingyan's state was obvious to all, and she felt a little strange for a moment.
"Nothing, just drive your car."
The dog woman waved her hands tiredly, not wanting to share with her how rude she had just been.
But she always felt like she was suffocating to death, so a few minutes after the car drove out, she still asked tentatively, "Shanshan, am I... annoying?"
"No...why do you ask that?!"
Ye Shanshan is dumbfounded. Is this something that can come out of your mouth? Oh my god, this world is in chaos...
She quickly thought of the reason, "Isn't it the person named Xu who made you angry?"
"...Even so."
Xie Qingyan said perfunctorily.
"oh."
Little Curly nodded, "He is indeed that kind of person, everyone knows it."
But before Xie Qingyan could relax, she added, "But... you can sometimes try to find the problem in yourself?"
She would never have said that before, because her elbows were turned outward... But now her attitude towards Xu Shi is really different from before, and it seems that she can't put all the blame on that guy.
He even saved himself...
"...I ■■■■!"
The dog woman's powder keg was finally ignited, "Ye Shanshan, where are you from?!"
