Jiangdong stayed in China for a few days. One day, he received a call from abroad and flew to New York without a word.
Shen Jiao was studying a project when she was still in school. Now it has been nearly two years. The project is very expensive, and drug research is a long process. As long as the above funds are cut off, the project will be closed immediately, and then it will be opened again. There are many projects in the Research Institute, so Shen Jiao is working hard and worried every day.
In the afternoon, she was doing a biopsy in the laboratory. Someone knocked on the glass and made a mouth shape, indicating that she would wait to go to the office. Twenty minutes later, Shen Jiao recorded the results of the 427th biopsy, changed her professional clothes and went out.
There is no director or deputy director in foreign countries. Shen Jiao's current research project is led by an old professor named Richard. Shen Jiao knocks on the door of his office and hears it say, "please come in."
When Shen Jiao pushed open the door, Richard was talking on the phone and gave her a sign to sit first.
Sitting opposite Richard, Shen Jiao quickly recognized who was on the phone and who was the investor of a certain project. The other party wanted to withdraw the investment. Richard said: "this project has been going on for nearly three years, and many data show that it is developing in a good way. I can't guarantee when it will succeed, but please believe me..."
What did the other party say? Richard's expression was a loss that could not be covered by folds. After a while, he said, "I'm really sorry. Thank you for your support for us for such a long time... Good bye."
When the phone hung up, Shen Jiao was in a very difficult mood. She heard the name of the project. On the way over, she also said hello to the American Japanese colleague who was in her thirties. Obviously, the colleague didn't know how disappointed a phone call could bring.
Richard is also very helpless, Shen Jiao face quietly, Wu asked himself: "you come to me, will not also inform me that the project has been stopped?"
Richard cheered up. "No, I want to inform you that your project has changed management. New investors want to meet researchers."
Shen Jiao's eye ground once crossed surprised color, "see researcher?"
Richard nodded. "Yes, I just got a call from my boss."
Shen Jiao said: "the direction of investment only depends on the results. Some professional pharmaceutical companies also depend on who leads the project. Few people care about researchers."
Richard said a name, and Shen Jiao was even more surprised. "I know, this is a very famous private hospital."
"They are very interested in the project you are studying and are willing to provide us with more funds. At the same time, the other party also asked to meet with the members of the whole project team, Plaza Hotel at 8 o'clock tonight," said Richard
Shen Jiao has no reason to refuse. She has just witnessed the abortion of a project. For the management, it is just to stop a project, but for the research, it is to end a life.
Shen Jiao came out of the office and saw Zhou Tong standing not far from the corridor. They met for the first time ten years ago. Since then, they have been inseparable. People in the scientific research institute also know that some people mistook them for lovers, and Shen Jiao never explained. After all, this can save a lot of trouble.
Zhou Tong looked at Shen Jiao, "what's the matter?"
"Our project has changed management," Shen said
Zhou Tong said calmly: "it's not good to stop."
"The new management asked us to have dinner together in the evening," Shen said
Zhou Tong's face is still without waves and waves, which is rare, but it is not that it has never happened. Some professional managers need to see the ability of the whole project team.
When they got back to the lab, it was a few hours of boring research. After work, five people in the whole group took Richard to the appointed place by car. On the way, some colleagues said, "the new management really made a big contribution. All the guests went to Plaza. This is my first time."
Another colleague said, "I put off my boyfriend's mother's birthday party for dinner tonight."
"It's better for Shen and Zhou to be together wherever they go."
Zhou Tong always drives quietly without squinting. Shen Jiao says with a smile, "I doubt you will go to your boyfriend's mother's birthday party without dinner tonight."
There was a lot of laughter in the car. It was a rare time for researchers to relax after a day's hard work.
Six people met at the door of the hotel and went up together. A second before opening the door of the private room, Shen Jiao's face was full of waves and waves. Until the people at the long table raised their heads, some people were surprised, because they were very handsome, others were surprised, because they were very young. Zhou Tong's face sank secretly. Shen Jiao's eyes flashed across unexpectedly, but the cover was very good.
Richard came forward with a smile and said hello to Jiangdong. What he called was Jiangdong's English name. Jiangdong said hello to everyone present. He was elegant and polite. He was the first time he met Shen Jiao and Zhou Tong. There was nothing unusual and improper about it.
When people sat down and chatted, they knew that the private hospital brands in all cities in the United States were actually from the family in front of them.
Shen Jiao is also annoyed. She has been abroad for many years, but she doesn't understand the situation at home. On second thought, how about understanding? I knew that Jiangdong had made up her mind about her work. Now that Jiangdong can sit here today, Richard said that the change of management is no joke. As long as Jiangdong is the project management, she can't help but come.
At the dinner table, Jiang Dong speaks fluent English and talks and laughs with everyone. Shen Jiao and Zhou Tong have the same idea when the clerk serves the food.
Jiangdong beckons everyone to move. Shen Jiao and Zhou Tong pick up their knives and forks and cut them all the time without sending them to their mouths. Jiangdong looks up and says in Chinese, "what's the matter, it's not good for your taste?"
Knowing that Richard and her colleagues could not understand Chinese, Shen Jiao said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll poison me."
Jiang Dong laughs very good-looking, "think much, poison you two, who helps me to work."
Shen Jiao said: "also, if you want to be the manager of our research institute, you can't do it without any strength. You won't spend millions of dollars just to treat me to a piece of poisonous steak."
With that, Shen Jiao put the cut steak into her mouth and chewed it one by one towards Jiangdong. Her expression is a smile hidden in a knife that can only be described by Chinese people.
When Jiang Dong heard the speech, he had a bigger smile on his face and said: "capitalist countries are good. There's no need to play the whole false game of making contributions to the medical cause. Whoever has more money will be honored. In this place, money can be polished by Jesus."
Shen Jiao also raised her lips. "My compatriots remind me that this business is burning money. Don't play. Get off on the way."
Jiang Dong said with a smile: "thank you for your worry. I don't have much money. Let alone subsidizing one project, I can't afford to buy your ten or eight research institutes..."
Hearing this, Shen Jiao has already cursed at the bottom of her heart. She knows that he is the richest man in Shencheng and has come abroad to show off.
However, Jiangdong's words immediately made Shen Jiao feel that all the previous remarks about whether she had money or not were floating clouds. Jiangdong looked at Shen Jiao across the table, blurring the tone of gentlemen and hooligans, and carrying it with profound meaning. "What you need, I have everything in my pants pocket, it depends on how much you can grasp."
