CH 39

Pink brain power.

Zhen Zhen’s brain was wired for scientific research. When she was in the lab zone, her eyes could only see bacteria and viruses.

‘Adjust the microscope,’ Zhen Zhen instructed Mac Wu. ‘Give me sterilized slides and prepare all the solutions I listed.’

Mac Wu couldn’t believe he turned into Zhen Zhen’s lab assistant for the afternoon.

‘It’s a virus I identified in my last research,’ Zhen Zhen said. ‘Lucky it’s not an easily transmittable virus. It won’t take me long to make the vaccines to give to the people who have the virus. You’ll need to instruct them to burn their clothes and shower after they receive the vaccines.’

‘Are you certain?’ Mac Wu asked.

‘Yes,’ Zhen Zhen said.

‘Big brother Mac Wu, this isn’t a joke,’ Lam Chen said. ‘How can you believe someone who has no scientific qualifications?’

‘Have you ever met someone who isn’t a virologist or a microbiologist who can accurately label diagrams of viruses and bacteria?’ Mac Wu asked.

‘No,’ Lam Chen said.

Zhen Zhen was too tired to care about other people doubting her qualifications.

‘Mr Yan, can you show me the way to a spare room where I can sleep?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

Yan Fen chose to believe Mac Wu, and he asked Lam Chen to escort Zhen Zhen to a guest room.

A day later, no one doubted Zhen Zhen because she identified the virus correctly and the vaccines she made worked. Everyone also noticed the way Yan Fen treated Zhen Zhen was different to the women he met in the past.

‘I think Miss Zhen Zhen is a good catch,’ Lam Chen said. ‘She and boss Yan Fen make a compatible couple.’

‘Boss Yan Fen found Miss Zhen Zhen at Dui Lan,’ Te Hao said. ‘She doesn’t match boss Yan Fen’s status.’

‘The most important thing is that boss Yan Fen likes Miss Zhen Zhen,’ Lam Chen said. ‘Have you ever seen boss Yan Fen treat another woman as good as he treats Miss Zhen Zhen?’

‘True,’ Te Hao said. ‘Don’t forget about Miss Tan Hai. She heard about Miss Zhen Zhen and she flew here straight away.’

Zhen Zhen walked to the living room like she didn’t hear anything.

‘Hello big brother Lam Chen and big brother Te Hao,’ Zhen Zhen greeted.

Lam Chen and Te Hao smiled awkwardly at Zhen Zhen. They were embarrassed Zhen Zhen heard them speculating about Zhen Zhen and Yan Fen’s relationship.

Zhen Zhen saw a young woman in a floral dress with long glossy hair in the living room. If Da Tu Li had a sexy aura, the young woman in the floral dress had a graceful aura.

‘Are you Miss Zhen Zhen?’ Tan Hai asked.

‘Yes,’ Zhen Zhen said.

‘Hello, I’m Tan Hai,’ Tan Hai said.

Zhen Zhen shook Tan Hai’s hand. After Tan Hai let go of her hand, her hand was red because Tan Hai had held onto her hand too tight. She deduced Tan Hai was the same Tan Hai that Lam Chen and Te Hao mentioned before.

‘I heard big brother Yan Fen found you at Dui Lan,’ Tan Hai said. Her eyes swept over Zhen Zhen’s body. ‘Since when did Dui Lan started using olive trees? Big brother Yan Fen is only infatuated with you, he’ll get tired of you soon. Don’t dream about becoming a phoenix. You’ll always be a chicken.’

‘I have no intention of becoming a phoenix,’ Zhen Zhen said. ‘If you have nothing else to say, I’m going to sleep.’

Zhen Zhen didn’t understand why thorns came out of a beautiful woman’s mouth. She only wanted to sleep.

Tan Hai was insulted a brothel worker would dare to speak to her like an equal. She raised her hand to slap Zhen Zhen, but Zhen Zhen easily dodged her slap.

Zhen Zhen had a radar for when someone wanted to hit her. She didn’t want to waste time on someone unreasonable.

Tan Hai raised her hand again.

‘Big brother Yan Fen,’ Zhen Zhen said.

Tan Hai lowered her hand, she turned around and smiled at Yan Fen.

‘Big brother Yan Fen,’ Tan Hai said.

Yan Fen smiled at Zhen Zhen. He stopped smiling when he looked at Tan Hai.

‘What are you doing here?’ Yan Fen asked Tan Hai.

‘I wanted to visit you,’ Tan Hai said.

‘Where’s Tan Cuo?’ Yan Fen asked.

‘My big brother called me and said he’s busy today,’ Tan Hai said.

‘Big brother Yan Fen, I’ll give you and Miss Tan Hai privacy,’ Zhen Zhen said. ‘I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.’

‘Um, I’ll call you for dinner,’ Yan Fen said.

Tan Hai glared at Zhen Zhen’s back while Zhen Zhen walked upstairs.
