BC Chapter 186

Chapter 185

In the Xingye District of Sheng’an City, there is a Jiusheng Park, the largest in the city. A villa belonging to the Jiang family is located here. However, although the Jiang family’s building is nominally called a villa, it has a completely different appearance from other row villas and detached villas. To describe it, it is more like a private compound with a vast area.

Previously, the central location was a building with a cross-section close to a square, with five floors above ground and three floors underground. But after the renovation, many of the original layouts have changed. Now, apart from the Jiang family, no one knows what the various places inside have become.

After Jiang Juncheng discussed with his father about building a laboratory building, this place was chosen as the most suitable location. Then, various vehicles and countless workers kept going in and out. After all the workers were evacuated, several large buses of people were brought here.

“Is this the laboratory prepared by the Jiang family?” Liu Jie, who had just gotten off the bus, looked around with curious eyes. “So many trees… the air must be very clean.” As she spoke, Liu Jie reached out and hugged the air in front of her, then took a deep breath.

Wei Wei, who emerged from behind her, looked at this scene speechlessly. Then, she raised her hand, bent her middle finger, and flicked Liu Jie’s forehead, who was closing her eyes and taking deep breaths, “Can you not make us look so ignorant?”

Liu Jie covered her forehead and opened her eyes, pouting and rolling her eyes at Wei Wei, “People are ignorant to begin with. I spend all day in the laboratory, and my sense of smell is about to degenerate…”

Wei Wei frowned when she heard Liu Jie’s pretentious tone. She quickly rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and threatened, “Try speaking in the tone of a female idol drama star again? I’ll put you on my experiment table in a minute, you believe it?”

Liu Jie quickly pinched her index finger and thumb together, drawing them from the left side of her mouth to the right, indicating that she had sealed her mouth tightly.

Chen Li and the others also got off the second bus one after another. Everyone looked around with different expressions, constantly observing the surrounding scenery. Leng Dongchi silently moved closer to Chen Li and took her hand that was hanging by her side. Chen Li looked at her lover beside her, who was looking at her nose with her eyes, gently rubbing the back of her hand with her fingertips as if nothing had happened, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

“Why are there so many cars…” Liu Qingyu looked at the buses that were stopping behind them and turned to ask Jiang Yuan, who was fixing her hair.

“One bus is for the people involved in the research, and the ones behind should be the newly recruited staff of the Jiang family. After all, no matter what you do, the food, clothing, and accommodation of so many people need to be arranged.” Jiang Yuan answered simply while her fingers skillfully combed her long hair. “If I’m not mistaken, there should also be test subjects who were attracted by money among the people who came.”

Liu Qingyu nodded and turned her gaze back to the laboratory building hidden among the lush trees. She thought to herself that this was where she would live and work for the next period, and a hint of anticipation for the unknown new things flashed in her eyes.

“Let’s go in.” A representative of the Jiang family walked over, interrupting everyone’s thoughts. “Everyone has worked hard on the way. We have prepared a place to rest and simple food inside. You can follow our staff to choose the rooms you want to live in, then take your room cards, supplies, and luggage into the rooms first. We will arrange staff to notify you of any follow-up arrangements. Of course, the public areas here are completely free, and you can move around freely to familiarize yourself with the place where you will live for the next period of time.”

Everyone nodded and followed the representative into the laboratory building. Liu Jie still looked around curiously, while Wei Wei kept whispering in her ear, seemingly reminding her to maintain her image.

Leng Dongchi and Chen Li walked hand in hand in the crowd, occasionally talking in low voices, seemingly not caring about other people’s eyes. Liu Qingyu and Jiang Yuan walked together, chatting from time to time.

Yan Shaohang, Yan Song, and Yin Suna, who got off the bus later, walked at the back of the crowd, looking around like the people in front of them.

“The Jiang family is indeed a big family. They can own such a large private compound in Jiusheng Park, the most famous park in Sheng’an City. This is not just a matter of money. How many years of family heritage does it take to do this… It really confirms the saying – the hard work of ordinary students studying for twelve years pales in comparison to the accumulation of several generations of others, how can ordinary people easily enter the ranks of true wealthy families by relying on starting from scratch?” After entering the laboratory building and seeing the spacious and grand lobby on the first floor and the various rooms on both sides, Yan Song sighed and couldn’t help but sigh. If this entire building were moved to the downtown area of Sheng’an City, it could completely rival the size of those super shopping malls.

“It is said that this Jiang family is one of the branches of the prestigious Jiang family before the founding of the country. During the troubled times, the Jiang family separated and fled for their own lives. However, because of the deep family heritage, the Jiang family who split up could still maintain their respective comfortable lives no matter where they went. Gradually, the troubled times ended, and the Jiang family who had taken root also ushered in the family’s second development.” Yan Shaohang was just looking at the surrounding layout and didn’t make a fuss like Yan Song. He had heard about the history of the Jiang family, but it was impossible to determine how much of it was true and how much was false.

Hearing Yan Shaohang’s words about the history of the Jiang family, Yan Song no longer doubted the promise Jiang Juncheng had given everyone before. After all, the laboratory building they were seeing now was just the tip of the iceberg of the Jiang family’s wealth and strength, but it was already enough to show its strong financial resources. It was easy for such a Jiang family to afford the food, clothing, housing, and wages of those involved in the research, wasn’t it? However, everyone had to admit that the Jiang family was really amazing – they not only preserved themselves in troubled times with their own abilities, but also managed to rise again in peacetime. This kind of ability and foresight is absolutely unattainable by ordinary people.

With the arrangements of the person in charge, everyone has determined their residences and settled down. No one is wandering around outside anymore. They began to focus on packing their luggage, hanging up their clothes, and arranging small items neatly. At the same time, they are also preparing for their upcoming work and life. Inside the double rooms, it is quiet and orderly, with occasional subtle sounds of tidying up and whispers. In this atmosphere, they are resting and patiently waiting for the staff to bring the follow-up work arrangements.
