SFS Chapter 38 New Challenge
Chapter 38 New Challenge
The milk factory incident was resolved smoothly, everyone was happy, only Xia Shuan faced a new problem:
There is too much milk at home.
Shen Boyan happened to be at home when Factory Manager Li's people came to deliver the milk. Standing on the balcony on the second floor, he looked at the boxes of milk being brought home, and raised his eyebrows: "The family is planning to open a small milk factory."
Looking back, Xia Shu'an didn't know why, but he always felt that Shen Boyan's "little milk factory" sounded weird.
He put one hand on the railing and said, "You can give it to the children in the orphanage."
The sarcasm on Shen Boyan's face faded after hearing this sentence: "Which orphanage is it?""
"'Wangyou' Orphanage, the dean and my mother have been friends for many years, and used to go there often during the holidays."
The reputation of the Xia family in the business world is not only related to Xia's father's forthrightness, but also Xia's mother's charity and benevolence.She used to hold some fundraising activities to help orphans and elderly people everywhere.The Xia family also sponsors the orphanage all the year round, and Xia Shuan will go there regularly before graduating from high school, and even organized several activities for her classmates when she was in college.
Shen Boyan was silent for a moment, then said: "Then I will go with you this weekend."
However, before the weekend came, a big event suddenly hit the media.
Gu Shi, an established local company in Rongchuan, announced that they have developed a new type of anti-cancer targeted drug, which can treat cancer by binding to a variety of cancerous cells and changing the protein in the cancer cells to cause their death.
Gu's publicly stated that they are about to apply for a patent for this drug, and they are determined to officially launch it in three years.At present, most anticancer drugs in China are generic drugs, and there are few self-developed drugs. Therefore, as soon as this statement was released, it triggered intense online discussions.
And the ensuing impact is obvious. Gu's stock price soared overnight, its market value increased by tens of billions, and it became a "new type" and "revolutionary" enterprise.
Wenhui, as a competitor, was directly impacted. Wenhui's stock price fluctuated, and many partners who were on the sidelines turned to the old-fashioned company Gu's for cooperation.
And as one of the various factors, Shen Boyan didn't have to rest on weekends, and all Wenhui's executives at the manager level and above worked overtime.
Early on Saturday morning, Shen Boyan watched the driver load boxes of milk into the car. His slightly rough fingers stroked Xia Shuan's face, and said in a deep voice:
"I'll ask the driver to take you there, and there are gifts prepared, you should pay attention to rest and don't play until it's too late."
Shen Boyan has a wrong understanding of Xia Shu'an, he always thinks that he is a noble son who only cares about playing, and even thinks that he is playing around when he goes to farm.Xia Shu'an opened her mouth to say that I'm not playing, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Xia Shu'an is very familiar with the 'Wangyou' orphanage. He has been here since he was very young, playing with children who are about his age.Later, some friends left, and he grew up and became the "big brother" in the eyes of new children.
Xia Shu'an had greeted the dean in advance, knowing that he was coming, the children who had left the orphanage but still stayed in the local area also came back to help.
He had just entered the door when a boy in his twenties came running over:
"Brother Shu An, long time no see!"
"Long time no see." Xia Shu'an remembered him and knew his recent situation.The two said as they walked:
"You don't go to college anymore?"
"I don't want to study anymore. I'm not made to study. Although I don't earn much now, I can support myself. And I think, come out to work earlier, earn more money, and open a shop by myself in the future."
The boy grinned honestly, revealing two pointed canine teeth.
Xia Shu'an looked calmly: "You just have to have your own plans."
"Hey, compared to me, do you know that they are all married one by one?"
"What? Isn't she only 21 years old?"
"That's right. She worked part-time at a coffee shop next to the university and met a graduate student. After talking for a year, they decided to get married."
"..."
"Don't worry about her. She has been very determined since she was a child, and she won't let herself suffer. According to her, the other parent also wondered if her son lied to the little girl, and she was very kind to her."
"......All right."
The friends in the orphanage will also grow up. After they grow up, they will become independent individuals, and they must walk their own paths. Xia Shu'an only wishes them sunshine, happiness, and actively looking for their own futures.
"elder brother!"
When they entered the room with a big push, the children who had been waiting for a long time surrounded them.
A little girl with round eyes looked at Xia Shu'an anxiously: "Brother, what are you doing today?"
"Today there are delicious food and drinks, as well as gifts."
He stood up and stretched out his hand to organize discipline:
"Everyone line up, a brother surnamed Shen bought gifts for you, every kid who lined up obediently has it."
Shen Boyan's gift rubbed against the popular "blind box" concept nowadays. Each gift package is opaque and packed in a beautiful bag. Only after opening can you know what is inside.
Perhaps because of this, every child is looking forward to it, and is especially eager to see it.And the children who got the gift:
"Mine are chocolates, and dolls!"
"I'm a robot, Caramel!"
"I have a big puzzle!"
"..."
Looking at these happy children, Xia Shu'an couldn't help saying, "Everyone should share with each other, so that there will be more games and snacks to eat."
"Understood!" The children replied obediently.
While the children were playing with their toys excitedly, Xia Shu'an followed the principal to the next room.The dean is a woman who is almost 50 years old. She has a very kind face, perhaps because of her heart. Looking at her, Xia Shu'an always feels that she has a holy light on her body.
"Your mother came here a few days ago and brought us food. She looks very good."
The dean knew about the Xia family's affairs, so naturally she couldn't help, so she could only occasionally invite Xia's mother over during that time to distract her attention.After knowing that things had passed safely, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xia Shu'an heard what she meant, and said: "My dad is not as busy as before, and he spends more time with mom. The two elders live happily every day, and they can feel the retirement life in advance."
"That's pretty good. If you don't worry about it, your body will naturally be healthy. I think you look good too."
"Yes."
Xia Shu'an resisted the urge to pinch his face. Now he is supplemented with various nutritional supplements every day, and he has to be pulsed by the doctor every now and then, which is more frequent than when he was at home, and he still has that... That kind of nourishing, in short, the face is rounded, can the complexion be bad?
The two talked again, and suddenly there was a commotion outside, Xia Shu'an turned his head, and accidentally saw an old friend:
"Wenzhi, why are you here?"
Chu Wenzhi stepped forward with a smile: "I heard that you are here. Anyway, it's the weekend, so come and see the children."
Chu Wenzhi was invited by Xia Shuan before, and would come here occasionally, Xia Shuan smiled and said, "It's just right, you can help me."
They asked some more about the recent situation of the orphanage, learned what to add, and finally played games with the children before leaving.
The two did not go back immediately after leaving, but went for a walk in a nearby park. In late December, the atmosphere of the New Year was everywhere on the street. Small lights were wrapped around the trees on both sides of the street. At night, the LED bulbs emitted colorful lights. The color tone and halo rendering immerse the whole city in a dream world.
Chu Wenzhi walked with his head down: "How are you doing recently?"
"It's all pretty good." Xia Shu'an turned her head and said with a smile, "Look, I've gained weight."
"Yes." Chu Wenzhi stared at the coat on his body, and said:
"Your current clothes have never been seen before."
Xia Shu'an's eyes flashed blankly for a moment: "Ah, is that so?"
His current clothes are all taken care of by Shen Boyan. Shen Boyan has a lot of entertainment and has a lot of clothes. He is used to making two sets of clothes, so gradually Xia Shuan's wardrobe is full, and he squeezes out all the old clothes before he knows it. up.
He didn't care about what he wore before, and the clothes were of good quality, there was no need to change them, so he used to wear familiar clothes.
Xia Shu'an didn't pay attention to this matter, and said casually: "Maybe it's the Chinese New Year, let's make a few more sets."
"..."
The two walked slowly along the gravel path, occasionally asking and answering, although they were harmonious, they could see something unusual.Chu Wenzhi stopped in his tracks:
"What's the matter? You're absent-minded."
"Really?" Xia Shu'an asked doubtfully, "Am I absent-minded?"
After a while, he nodded again and said, "Maybe."
"Is it because of Gu's new drug statement? Gu and Wen Hui are fighting so hard, will his announcement affect Wen Hui?"
"I will, after all, we are colleagues."
However, compared to Gu's statement, what Xia Shu'an cared more about was that this medicine was clearly developed by Wen Hui in his previous life.He remembered clearly that it was the fourth year after they were together. After several years of clinical trials, the drug known as the "cancer killer" was officially put into production, making Wenhui a top domestic pharmaceutical company. Shen Boyan's net worth skyrocketed, and it was also the first time he broke into the [-] billion net worth club that year.
If Gu's simply developed another anti-cancer drug, that's okay, I'm afraid, it's not just that.
There is no way to explain these words to Chu Wenzhi in detail, Xia Shu'an can only smile lightly: "I have to go to my parents' place in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you."
"it is good."
In the end, I didn't expect that when I got to my parents, my father would drag me to talk about Gu's new medicine.
Father Xia: "After all, Gu's is an old local enterprise, and the government is oriented towards it. Xiao Shen wants to squeeze Gu's out of Rongchuan's market, so he can't give them any hope. Now that Gu's sudden announcement of this news is equivalent to giving Gu has added a huge bargaining chip, and as long as this bargaining chip does not see results, the government will definitely not give up on Gu, and with the government as the middleman, there must be great pressure on Wenhui."
Father Xia is an old capitalist, so he analyzed the relationship between the enterprises in a logical manner.
"You know!" Mother Xia gave him a hard look, pulled her son over and said:
"It's rare for An An to come back, and you still talk to him, don't you know that he is also under a lot of pressure?"
After she finished speaking, she pulled Xia Shu'an and said in a low voice:
"An'an, Xiaoshen must have had a hard time when Wenhui encountered such a thing. I know that your father used to have troubles in the company and couldn't sleep. It's really pitiful. Don't say how considerate you are, at least you care about others. "
Xia Shu'an was teased by his mother, and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely be a gentle and considerate Xieyu flower."
"What are you talking about!" She gave him the same look of disgust as she had for Father Xia.
Xia Shu'an drank the soup leisurely at home, lived a life like a little prince for half a day at home, and in the afternoon, he was leaving, his mother:
"An An, take this soup with you and send it to Xiao Shen."
Mother Xia handed out a thermos cup, which was stewed ginseng chicken soup in the afternoon.
"Okay, Mom, Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."
"Ah." Xia Shu'an was still disgusted when he first arrived home, and he was about to leave. Xia's mother finally couldn't help it and said:
"Come back next week, Mom will cook something delicious for you."
Xia Shu'an had already walked out of the villa, he stood under the sun, turned around and smiled: "Okay!"
......
......
When Xia Shuan arrived at the company, Shen Boyan happened to be in the office. He opened the door directly, and the man behind the desk raised his head. When he saw that it was him, his expression changed slightly, and he walked down from above.
"You brought soup."
"Yeah." Xia Shu'an closed the door, walked to the side sofa, and took out the thermos cup from the bag.
"This is...you stew?"
"..." Xia Shu'an narrowed her eyes, turned her head and smiled slightly: "Yes, you should try it."
Then he looked at Shen Boyan's expression showing a trace of wariness, staring at the cup in his hand, as if there was a 50.00% chance that it was a time bomb.
The chicken soup that came out was delicious in color and pure in aroma, but even so, it should not be taken lightly.Shen Boyan took the spoon and stirred the crispy stewed meat in the bowl——
Well, the taste is normal, normal and delicious.
Xia Shu'an looked at him with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
Shen Boyan looked calm and composed, and replied: "It's delicious."
"Well, this is stewed by my mother, but if you like it, I can stew it for you next time..."
"No need." Shen Boyan flatly refused, and said "affectionately":
"It's too hard, you are not in good health, don't do it."
The corners of Xia Shu'an's lips twitched: "Oh."
After confirming "safety", Shen Boyan quietly drank the soup.
He didn't show obvious fatigue on his face, but because he didn't sleep well for several days, his face was slightly pale, his eye sockets were slightly swollen, and even stubble had grown out.Looking at the thin stubble of beard, Xia Shu'an couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
Shen Boyan put down the spoon, turned his head, and moved his upper body towards him: "Is it easy to touch?"
"It's not easy to touch."
Xia Shu'an smelled a faint smell of smoke. In fact, he hadn't smelled smoke on Shen Boyan for a long time. It must be because he worked too much overtime, so he couldn't help smoking a few to refresh himself.
The smell of tobacco made Xia Shu'an's brain a little dizzy, and he couldn't help but dodge to the side.Shen Boyan stretched out a hand to pinch his chin:
"Hide what?"
"Don't like the smell of smoke?"
"do not like."
He was too close, Xia Shuan couldn't help but leaned back again, and Shen Boyan leaned forward.The sofa was too small, Xia Shu'an had nowhere to hide, trapped in the corner of the sofa, her whole body was wrapped in the man's breath.
"You..." Xia Shu'an felt uncomfortable all over, and couldn't help pushing Shen Boyan. Shen Boyan held his hand with one hand, and his body got closer and closer, almost to the point of fitting him.Xia Shu'an stepped on the sofa with her toes curled up.
His brain started to heat up, his thinking was not clear, and he said confusedly: "Wait a minute, you are still drinking soup."
Shen Boyan's pupils were as deep as ink, and he stared closely at his face: "Just one moment."
"Just a moment."
Xia Shu'an believed Shen Boyan's words with his brain that had been muddled into a paste.
......
When they parted, Xia Shu'an's head was dizzy, he let go of the hand hanging around Shen Boyan's neck, shook it involuntarily, and said:
"very sour."
Obviously not once, it's too hateful!
Shen Boyan consciously lied, and sat back very reflectively, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, slowly drinking the cold soup.
Xia Shu'an sat cross-legged on the sofa in a daze.In the end he decided to forgive Shen Boyan, and sat back down again.
"Does Gu's medicine affect you a lot?"
"Big, not too big. He is indeed beyond my imagination, but..." The man turned his head and smiled at him.
"At this level, it won't cause me much trouble."
"That's good."
Xia Shu'an completely trusted Shen Boyan in business.After all, if even Shen Boyan couldn't deal with it, he would be even more helpless.
"Okay." After a while, Shen Boyan finished the soup and put the bowls and chopsticks back into the bag.
"Let auntie cook something delicious tonight, so you don't need to prepare mine."
"Oh." Xia Shu'an replied, he hasn't been able to go home for dinner these days, so he didn't plan to prepare for him.
He got up: "Then I'm leaving."
"Ah."
Just as Shen Boyan pushed open the door, Sheng Songbai was leading several department directors to come. Seeing Xia Shuan, Sheng Songbai was slightly taken aback, and quickly said with a smile:
"Xiao Xia is here."
He glanced down and said, "Send soup? It's just right, Mr. Shen has been working hard recently."
"Well, I've finished my work and I'm going back first."
"it is good."
Sheng Songbai stepped aside and let Xia Shu'an pass by first.Soon, those people disappeared from sight with the closed office door.
Xia Shu'an walked out slowly.
The last time I saw Sheng Songbai, he showed his true inner feelings to himself, but now when I see him again, he regained that fake face.Xia Shu'an vaguely felt that the matter of the medicine had something to do with him, but the suspicion was too serious for him to say it out.
