I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Originally, Jiang Chen was supposed to return to Tianci Capital to host a pre-New Year meeting after seeing Yu Hui and her group off, but a sudden phone call changed the arrangements. Back at the company, the meeting was handed over to Li Shurui, and he went straight to his office.

Turning on the computer and logging into the encrypted website, the person didn't have a moment's rest, re-browsing and reviewing the detailed information about the Primordial Project.

Before I knew it, nearly two hours had passed.

Perhaps at Li Shurui's behest, no one came to disturb them.

Even for those who are not medical professionals, the densely packed, detailed description is enough for anyone of normal intelligence to fully understand the greatness of this research.

Jiang Chen released the mouse, his mind completely focused. He raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows, but couldn't shake off the stubborn wrinkles.

Immediately.

He looked out the window.

The sky was gray and gloomy, as if shrouded in a thin veil, hazy and indistinct.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then took out his phone, looked away, and dialed Lin Zhuzhen's number again.

"Mr. Jiang."

"Come to the East China Sea."

Even with his refined manners, he forgot all about politeness and spoke in an almost commanding tone.

Lin Zhuzhen didn't question it, didn't hesitate, and wasn't surprised. She immediately agreed, "When?"

"today."

Jiang Chen said, "I'll send someone to your home to pick you up."

"Okay. I'll go back now, it'll take about an hour."

Highly intelligent people are just that efficient and decisive in their work.

at the same time.

In Kyoto.

In front of the antique-style private teahouse, Song Chaoge, Song Shao, straightened his collar before entering. Led by a maid in an ancient-style cheongsam, he arrived at the third floor. Before he even got close, he saw Mao Tu guarding the door.

"Thank you."

In this workplace, in addition to appearance and temperament, the ability to read between the lines is also indispensable. Upon hearing Song Shao's words, even before reaching their destination, the cheongsam-clad maid with a curvaceous figure wisely lowered her head and stopped.

Song Chaoge continued forward, smiling and greeting Mao Tu: "Thank you for your hard work."

Rabbit glared at him and gave a snort without any attempt to hide it.

No wonder Rabbit doesn't like him.

Who makes fun of someone the moment they meet them?

Song Chaoge didn't mind, or rather, he was used to it, and said with concern, "If you're tired of standing, come in and sit for a while."

Rabbit raised her fist and said, "Believe it or not, I'll punch you out the window."

Young Master Song, being so naive, pretended not to hear, thus avoiding any awkwardness.

He stopped chatting with Mao Tu, who was prejudiced against him, and pushed open the door to enter.

Feelings develop through interaction, even if you grow up together. Even if you discover that you haven't been in contact for a long time, the relationship will become distant.

This is not.

If it weren't for our last date of having dinner and a walk, there wouldn't be this invitation today.

"on vacation?"

Song Chaoge asked with a smile, and in the fragrant tea aroma, his outstanding appearance made him look just like a handsome young man from a turbid world.

Putting everything else aside, the innate nobility that Song Shao possesses is something that ordinary people can never learn.

Including Mr. Jiang, who rose from humble beginnings to success.

"It won't be that fast, the holiday doesn't start until the 27th."

Princess Cao cooked for herself instead of having a tea master serve her.

Is today a major holiday?

Song Dynasty Song feigned surprise.

The holiday starts on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. Even oxen and horses aren't this tired, but he understands the other person's style, and there's no point in trying to persuade them.

"Does it have to be a special day before I can get together with you?"

Cao Jinse smiled.

"What I mean is, the day you ask me out is a special holiday for me."

hiss.

Cao Jinse was slightly taken aback.

Song Chaoge sat down as if nothing had happened.

"How unsophisticated you are!"

Cao Jinse shook her head and smiled, then picked up the teapot and poured tea.

"My skills are limited, please forgive me."

Despite his rustic charm, Song Shao's transformation is undeniable. To put it simply, he seems to have let go of his inhibitions and is no longer putting on airs.

After pouring herself a cup of tea, Cao Jinse put down the teapot. "I have something to ask you."

Song Chaoge nodded.

"Didn't you take a picture after we walked around for a while after dinner last time? Who did you send it to?"

Sure enough, no one visits the temple without a reason.

only.

Does it have to be this blunt?

Song Chaoge didn't touch the cup of ripe Pu'er tea because it was too hot. Facing the green plum, he was so frank that it was pitiful. "Brother Jiang."

He speaks his mind.

It's not just one person who has a childhood sweetheart.

It's not just that children have to live across from each other to be considered childhood sweethearts.

However, not all childhood sweethearts can walk hand in hand from the beginning to the end of the story.

"Why do this?"

So they've come to interrogate me?
However, it's not Princess Cao's fault. It has nothing to do with being narrow-minded. Princess Cao's magnanimity is well-known and praised by everyone. It's all because of what Young Master Song did that was unethical, even malicious. To put it more bluntly, he was ruining her reputation.

"Would you believe me if I said it was because of an accident?"

Song Shao remained calm under pressure, but he was still somewhat lacking in courage.

Cao Jinse gave a polite smile. "What do you think?"

Song Chaoge remained silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Jiang is not a very righteous person."

Unexpectedly, he even went so far as to call a deer a horse. This act of the thief crying "stop thief!" amused Cao Jinse. She picked up her teacup, blew on it, and...
"Who exactly is not being loyal enough?"

Just like the flavor of ripe Pu'er tea, this recitation is also full of profound meaning.

Song Chaoge smiled, not putting on airs, and said naturally, "Of course it's him. When did I meet you, and when did you meet him? As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others cherish."

"Are you a gentleman, or is he a gentleman?"

Cao Jinse, holding a tea set, left Song Shao speechless with just one sentence.

“When I met him, you two weren’t exactly brothers.”

Cao Jinse continued, leaving Song Shao even more speechless. So he could only pick up the still-warm tea, ignoring the scalding heat, and silently take a sip.

"So shouldn't you apologize to me?"

Princess Cao's hard-heartedness was revealed, and she relentlessly pursued the matter.

Song Chaoge exhaled hot air to relieve the burning sensation in her mouth, "Tell me, how do you want me to apologize?"

My childhood friend is truly a childhood friend.

We really are on the same wavelength.

Princess Cao calmly sipped her tea, "Get me someone."

"who."

Song Shao was decisive and efficient.

"Tianqi Research Institute, Lin Zhuzhen."

Upon hearing this, Song Chaoge's pupils contracted slightly, and then he looked at the woman who was his perfect match.

"Dr. Lin Zhuzhen?"

He confirmed it.

"Ah."

Cao Jinse nodded, proving that he hadn't misheard and that she hadn't misspoke.

Song Chaoge unconsciously put down his teacup, finally feeling somewhat drowsy.

He knew perfectly well what kind of research institute Tianqi Research Institute was, and he also knew who Lin Zhuzhen was.

It is said that Cao Jinse played a key role in Lin Zhuzhen's joining the Apocalypse Research Institute.

and so.

What's going on now?
"why?"

Song Chaoge couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and asked a question directly.

"Can I not say?"

Song Shao wasn't a sycophant, and calmly said, "Lin Zhuzhen is not only a rare top talent, but also has a deep sense of patriotism. If there's no other reason, Jinse, I'm sorry."

As for Song Shao, well, he does have his principles, or rather, he has his own set of rules for doing things. Boss Jiang wouldn't be on friendly terms with someone so rotten and despicable, would he?

Cao Jinse sighed slightly, seemingly helpless, but still unwilling to give up, and pleaded, "Can I ask you for help?"

Song Chaoge shook her head slowly but firmly, "Unless you give me a reason."

"clang."

The teacup was placed on the tea table.

Cao Jinse said slowly, "The Primordial Plan has succeeded."

Song Chaoge's face froze, then she couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

"Ah."

Cao Jinse's expression changed as she looked at the other person. "I only received the news yesterday."

After a moment of stunned silence, Song Chaoge's expression kept changing.

Unlike projects that reach for the heavens and the seas, the Primordial Project, as its name suggests, focuses on the human body itself, but it is equally magnificent and even more significant.

Going to the sky and the sea can at most increase human knowledge and enrich human material possessions, but the Primordial Plan can break the constraints of natural laws on humankind.

"So fast?"

Even someone with Song Shao's personality was filled with disbelief at this moment.

"I didn't expect it either. I even thought it would never succeed."

The atmosphere quieted down.

They were indeed a perfect match in terms of external conditions, but neither of them spoke because they had chosen different paths.

Does anyone else know?

Song Chaoge's voice was slightly low.

"It shouldn't be yet. I've had people closely monitoring it since the start of Project Primordial. But we can't delay any longer."

Song Chaoge stared at the other person, "Do you know what you're doing?"

Cao Jinse met his gaze and calmly asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Song Chaoge's eyes were unfocused, and he remained silent.

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws and the source code of human civilization. If the Primordial Plan were to be universal, it would be like opening Pandora's box, and human civilization would inevitably collapse."

Cao Jinse's tone was not agitated, but her eyes were extremely sharp.

"Imagine if you had a choice, would you be able to face death with equanimity?"

Song Chaoge remained silent for a long while before finally speaking, "Aren't you afraid I'll expose you?"

Cao Jinse suddenly smiled again.

"You say you know me. Now that I've made plans with you, do you think I'd be afraid?"

Song Chaoge smiled in response.

Yes.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

Just like with relationships, she doesn't hesitate or waver.

"call--"

Song Chaoge, unusually, let out a deep sigh, then picked up his teacup and drank the entire cup of tea in one gulp.

"Jinse, this favor is putting me in a difficult position."

"You can refuse. It's okay."

"What will you do if I don't agree?"

Song Chaoge asked seriously, even earnestly.

"I'll do it myself."

Cao Jinse answered concisely and easily, "Although I'm not a professional in this area, it's not difficult, right?"

Song Chaoge, who had countless experts under his command, smiled wryly, "Are you really asking for a favor? Who asks for a favor in such a sarcastic manner?"

No. Don't wrong me.

Cao Jinse continued pouring tea.

Song Chaoge didn't continue the joke, "If you were to do it yourself, and the truth came out, could you handle it all by yourself?"

"Give it a try."

Cao Jinse said nonchalantly.

"Try it? That's irresponsible."

Whether someone is responsible for themselves or not is none of your business.
Ugh.

Ultimately, he's just another member of the sycophant army.

"Have some tea."

Looking at the second cup of tea poured for him, Song Shao said sincerely, "This tea is really awful."

"Is it hard to drink? Ripe Pu'er tea is good for your health. You're not young anymore, you should learn to change your tastes."

Song Chaoge chuckled, then complained, "Why do you act like you're helping me when you ask for my help? What's wrong with my taste? Is it that bad?"

"I was just talking about tea, why are you overthinking it?"

Song Chaoge shook his head, looking helpless, picked up the teacup, and then put it back down.

"Go ahead and drink it. Are you really that uncomfortable with it?"

"It's too hot to handle."

Song Chao said, "Even if you want others to accept your taste, you have to give them some time to adapt."

Cao Jinse couldn't help but chuckle, then sighed softly, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you."

Song Chaoge quieted down, then raised her wrist and glanced at her watch.

Cao Jinse noticed it and said, "This watch is quite interesting. Who gave it to me?"

The reason he directly said it was a gift from someone else is because the watch on Song Shao's wrist wasn't a Richard Mille or Patek Philippe, but an extremely ordinary digital watch—the kind of thing that even office workers would look down on.

"I forgot."

Song Chaoge smiled, lowered his wrist, and sighed, "Good times are always fleeting."

"Are you really willing to help?"

Cao Jinse asked.

"You've come to me instead of someone else, how could I refuse?"

Song Shao's words are rather intriguing.

"Loyal and righteous."

Cao Jinse smiled elegantly.

Song Chaoge chuckled and then stood up, leaning on the tea table.

"I haven't had my tea yet."

Cao Jinse said.

"Let's drink another day. If we dawdle any longer and word gets out, the order of human civilization will be ruined."

"I send you."

Cao Jinse made a move to get up, but Song Shao waved his hand, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

Cao Jinse stopped, watching him walk towards the door, her eyes flickering, and still called out, "Thanks."

Without turning his head, Song Shao waved his hand.

He opened the door and stepped out of the private room.

Seeing that the Rabbit was still dutifully guarding the door, he was bored out of his mind.

"You can go in now."

Song Shao composed himself and still wore that smile that Mao Tu found quite irritating, as if nothing had happened.

"Why did you come out so quickly?"

The rabbit opened its big, dark eyes and said in surprise.

"If I stay too long, you'll come in and beat me up."

Yoho.

Why is this guy so sensible?
Caught off guard, Mao Tu was momentarily stunned, her mouth slightly open. Combined with her youthful appearance, she looked absolutely adorable.

Even someone as self-disciplined as Song Shao couldn't resist reaching out and pinching her delicate, pink cheek.

"I'm chovy!"

Although he was in a daze, his martial arts instincts were still there. The rabbit, who had been "touched," quickly snapped back to his senses, his expression changed in an instant, and he glared at her with a cold eye, shedding his innocent rabbit disguise and going berserk.

He slid sideways to close the distance, grabbed Song Shao's wrist with one hand and locked his elbow with the other, twisted his joints in the process, and pinned his opponent's calf with his foot. In a flash, he forced Song Shao to bend over and bow his head.

Even a powerful figure like Boss Jiang treats Mao Tu with utmost courtesy and never dares to lay a hand on him.

That's incredibly bold.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Song Shao has really changed a lot now; he has no concern for his image whatsoever. Sensing the situation was turning sour, he immediately started shouting loudly:

"Jinse, help!" (End of Chapter)
