Chapter 116 – What He Feels For You

As the director of the research institute, Duan Yunhong had every reason to visit Tianyue’s research center, so he went.

His position was not low, but his visit was casual – mainly because he was alone. As a result, the director of the center met him for less than half an hour before assigning someone to accompany him on a tour of the center.

Duan Yunhong had no complaints. He followed the two researchers around and then made a request: During the previous exchange between Tianyue’s researchers and Huichuan, he had been very interested in Chen Yikun’s research and wanted to talk to him again.

The researchers leading the way didn’t suspect anything and called Chen Yikun over.

When Chen Yikun heard that Duan Yunhong was coming and wanted to see him, he was initially unwilling. He had long heard from Yu Zhou what kind of person Duan Yunhong was – frankly, he was there to encourage him to give up fulfilling the original owner’s wishes. If Duan Yunhong had come earlier, when Chen Yikun was most helpless, Chen Yikun might have adopted his idea. Now that everything had settled, Chen Yikun didn’t want to pay attention to this guy.

But Duan Yunhong held a certain position, so Chen Yikun had no choice but to go. So, he dragged his feet, fiddled with his phone for a long time, before reluctantly going to see Duan Yunhong.

The meeting place was a small conference room in the research center. The walls of the conference room were hung with Tianyue’s scientific research achievements, and there were some samples on the shelves. Although it was a little strange, Chen Yikun felt more at ease meeting Duan Yunhong in this familiar place, at least he wasn’t afraid of Duan Yunhong making a move here.

Unexpectedly, after Chen Yikun carefully sat down opposite him, Duan Yunhong’s first question was actually about Chen Yikun’s research topic. And it sounded like he really knew what he was talking about. With him chatting like this, Chen Yikun couldn’t refuse to answer, so he had to communicate with him within a reasonable range.

After such an academic discussion for a while, Duan Yunhong followed up on the Huichuan research topic and said, “Actually, Huichuan had a project before that called for volunteers to participate in clinical trials, which was very suitable for your adopted daughter. But at that time, she should have already arrived at Tianyue, so she unfortunately missed it. Otherwise, her condition would have had a great chance to improve, and not just control the rate of deterioration.”

“Huichuan actually researched this kind of drug…?!” Chen Yikun was really surprised this time, but he reacted quickly and immediately understood, “It’s a pity that we didn’t catch up with the clinical trial. But now the speed of new drugs being released is fast. Since Huichuan has reached this stage, it will probably expand the scale of clinical trials and even launch on a small scale soon, right? By then, Lulu and other patients like her will have the opportunity to receive treatment.”

Duan Yunhong said, “I thought you would ask me if I could still pull some strings to arrange one to go in now.”

“No need. Lulu’s current situation is under control, and it’s much better than many other patients. We can wait.” Chen Yikun shook his head, “The most important thing I’ve learned since coming here is to be content and not be greedy. Although Lulu missed Huichuan’s clinical trial, it’s because we met earlier, and we’ve both gotten a better life. There’s nothing to regret.”

These words were almost openly saying that he, as a transmigrator, was very satisfied with his current situation and completely didn’t want to accept Duan Yunhong’s provocation. Even the well-informed Duan Yunhong found it rare to see a transmigrator who had been taught to be so content with the status quo. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that Yu Zhou really had the means to control people, making the transmigrator refuse even things they really wanted with such decisiveness.

“Actually, you don’t have to be so wary of me.”

Duan Yunhong noticed it quickly and adapted quickly, quietly changing the direction of the topic in an instant: “I’m no longer interested in you and your family, and my goal has nothing to do with this. As for that drug experiment, I just suddenly remembered it and told you about it. As for what you want to do, it has little to do with me.”

Chen Yikun didn’t know that these big shots were betting on “saving the world” or anything like that, and only found Duan Yunhong’s words strange. After all, if he wasn’t interested in him, why did he come specifically? And he specifically mentioned his adopted daughter Lulu, which sounded like he had bad intentions.

— No, I have to pay more attention to Lulu’s safety…

Duan Yunhong didn’t know that he had been labeled as “ill-intentioned”. He saw Chen Yikun’s silence and was about to say something more. At this moment, the sound of knocking on the conference room door rang out. Without waiting for Duan Yunhong and Chen Yikun to say “please come in,” the door was opened directly.

It was Yu Zhou.

“Director Duan, have you finished the tour?” Yu Zhou said as he entered, closing the door behind his back, “What are you chatting about with our Professor Chen? Can I listen in?”

Duan Yunhong glanced at Chen Yikun and could tell from the other party’s relieved expression that Yu Zhou was the reinforcements he had called in. No wonder he kept glancing at his phone during the conversation, it turned out he had sent Yu Zhou an SOS and was waiting for a reply.

But Yu Zhou didn’t seem busy either, he actually came in person.

“Chatting about some academic topics. Minister Yu is also interested in these?” Duan Yunhong leaned back in his chair, implying something, “But we’ve almost finished chatting. If Minister Yu wants to chat, you can chat with Professor Chen alone.”

“I’ll have plenty of opportunities to chat with Professor Chen in the future.” Yu Zhou smiled, stood by the table, and stared at him from above, “But Director Duan, would you do me the honor of chatting?”

Duan Yunhong didn’t know what he wanted to talk about, but it wouldn’t be good, so he casually found an excuse and said, “Not now. I might be a little homesick, I didn’t sleep well last night, I’m a little tired now, I want to go back and rest.”

Hearing these words, Yu Zhou was too lazy to complain. A “Luck Thief” getting homesick? Yu Zhou found it boring to even hear that as a joke.

“It’s only almost noon, why are you in such a hurry to feel sleepy, Director Duan.” Yu Zhou said, seeming to remember something, and walked to the row of sample shelves, picking up a red packaging box and looking at it carefully. Then, he took a palm-sized bottle out of the packaging box, walked back, and placed it in front of Duan Yunhong.

“Coincidentally, we came out with a new product a while ago, which is for qi and blood deficiency, physical weakness, listlessness, insomnia and forgetfulness. Would Director Duan like to try it?”

Duan Yunhong didn’t even look at it: “Minister Yu is too polite. I won’t waste the valuable samples that your center worked so hard to develop.”

Chen Yikun recognized the packaging box from afar and interjected, “This oral liquid wasn’t developed with much effort. It was a by-product of our team. After discovering that this thing was very useful for replenishing blood and boosting energy, we separated it out and made a new product. Because it was a casual and unexpected gain, the packaging is also simple, and no one cares about it at all.”

His level of lying was not high, and Duan Yunhong could tell that he was telling the truth, but he didn’t plan to drink it. Seeming to see Duan Yunhong’s intention, Yu Zhou picked up the bottle again and said, “I was negligent, there are no straws here, it’s not convenient for Director Duan to drink.”

As he spoke, no one knew how he twisted and applied force with his two hands, but with a “pop!” the mouth of the bottle was directly broken off by him!

Chen Yikun: “…”

“Just pour it directly into your mouth, it’s just a small amount, only a mouthful.” Yu Zhou handed it to Duan Yunhong again, “Director Duan, you don’t think I’m going to poison you, do you? Is it necessary?”

Duan Yunhong finally had nothing to say, took the bottle and gulped it down, and then put the bottle “thump” on the table.

Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows and smiled: “Now you’re full of energy, right.”

Seeing the subtle atmosphere, Chen Yikun made an excuse that he had to go back to work and slipped away. After the conference room door closed again, Duan Yunhong directly asked the man standing next to him, “What exactly do you want to talk to me about?”

“Let’s talk about how long you want to bother us here.” Yu Zhou pulled out the chair at the end of the conference table, sat down, and filled the room with his aura, “And what exactly do you want to do.”

“How long I want to stay and what I want to do has nothing to do with you?” Duan Yunhong responded coldly, “If you have any opinions, you can ask someone to call you over at any time like this. Once you come, you’ll know what I’m doing.”

“I don’t want to waste time talking in circles with you.” Yu Zhou’s tone also cooled down, and he said with his arms folded, “Don’t mention that broken medicine of yours again. This thing is just an excuse for you to come, right? Now Tianyue doesn’t recognize this matter, what can you do? What other excuse do you have to stay here? Don’t you care about Huichuan’s affairs?”

“Whether I care about Huichuan or not, how I care about it, has nothing to do with you.” Duan Yunhong said, “And you, manage everything, manage Yue Fengping, manage Ning Fei, manage everything in Tianyue, but you can’t manage me.”

Hearing that he still wasn’t getting to the point, Yu Zhou chuckled and simply asked, “Director Duan, don’t tell me you’re chasing after Ning Fei?”

“Even if I am, so what?” Duan Yunhong actually didn’t deny it, “This was originally a gamble between the two of us, but you directly lost the balance, and the content of the bet was changed because of you. I’m here to see the instigator, and also to see the situation of the transmigrator and the new situation. What’s the problem?”

“Ha, if you want to come and get angry, of course there’s no problem.” Yu Zhou said jokingly, “Just let me say it first, if you lose, don’t be unconvinced and keep pestering Ning Fei to continue the competition. After this life, whether you win or lose, you must destroy Ning Fei’s positioning mark.”

Duan Yunhong said, “My bet with him has nothing to do with you.”

“Your words sound like you’re going to renege.” Yu Zhou sneered, “I’m his teacher, I’m going to interfere in this matter.”

“Just a teacher?”

“What else?”

“What else…” Duan Yunhong suddenly said, “Have you two dated before?”

“…Tch.” Yu Zhou was silent for two seconds, his eyes slightly narrowed, “Don’t let your imagination run wild, Duan Yunhong. How could I be in a relationship with him? He’s a debt collector, my colleague, my student, a long-liver. I won’t be in a relationship with a long-liver.”

Duan Yunhong looked at him, his tone very sure.

“Then he likes you.”
