The time went back to when Chen Leyao had just left the cafe and before getting into a taxi.
"Boss, I have already met with the boss of Tianshen Investment."
Inside Star City No. 3 Middle School, Xia Xu received another call from Chen Leyao.
"Sister Le Yao, you said you don't need to report such personal matters to me. I have absolute trust in you."
Xia Xu was helpless.
Although some people can't help complaining in their hearts that this is unnecessary, Chen Leyao's behavior style is indeed very reassuring.
There is a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and she clearly separates the two.
It is obvious that the relationship between the two of them is that of sister and brother. Although they are not really close to that level, normally it would not be to this extent.
"No, boss, I want to say something else."
Chen Leyao stood on the edge of the road, reaching out to stop the car while frowning slightly with a thoughtful expression: "The boss of Tianshen Investment is named Griffin Jones. In order to persuade me to join his company, he came up with a drug called Genius Medicine.
I'm not sure if it's real, but according to him, eating it can turn people into geniuses. If it's true..."
"Oh, this."
After hearing this, Xia Xu's reaction was mediocre.
"Boss, I don't think Griffin Jones is completely lying."
When Chen Leyao heard Xia Xu's plain tone, she wanted to explain and emphasize it as much as possible.
Xia Xu nodded slightly: "Well, I know, that thing is real."
"What if...?"
Chen Leyao's words were stuck, her seductive red lips slightly opened, and she was speechless for a moment.
If she could post an emoticon at this time, she would definitely send one with a face full of question marks.
"This thing has very strong side effects. Sister Le Yao, you probably won't be able to use it. As for the business aspect, let alone think about it. The water involved is quite deep. It's best not to participate if you can."
Xia Xu shook his head, but did not explain much. Instead, he said in a cryptic manner: "It's not convenient to talk about this on the phone. You can talk to Sister Le Yao when we have the chance to meet next time."
Now Griffin Jones lives under his surveillance like a guinea pig, and even he himself is a little taboo about network communication, always feeling that it is a bit unreliable.
Although Meng Bochao has been asked to put some protective measures on his various electronic equipment, there is a saying that if you are not afraid of 10,000, be afraid of just in case.
If people don't know, unless they do nothing, people's activities in this world will always leave traces, and the Internet with its 'memory' is the easiest place to leave traces. It is better not to use this kind of sensitive thing too much on the phone.
It’s better to talk.
"alright, I got it."
Chen Leyao nodded slightly in thought.
It seems...his little boss is far more mysterious than he imagined.
Otherwise, how could he have known that Griffin Jones had this drug, knew that it was real, and even knew about its side effects and the risks involved.
While the two were talking, a taxi also saw Chen Leyao's outstretched arm and slowed down to stop in front of her.
"Master, go to Tianhai Building."
Chen Leyao opened the car door and got into the back seat. She was distracted and pointed to a location, but she did not hang up Xia Xu's call. Instead, she took the opportunity to talk about some of her preliminary plans for the organizational structure of Xinghai Venture Capital.
Usually she really doesn't get the chance to talk to her boss about this, but this is a real hands-off shopkeeper. Apart from the one time they met these days, she doesn't even ask questions, which makes her sometimes not sure whether she is real or not.
Already working at Xinghai Venture Capital.
And it’s okay to be a hand-off shopkeeper. This person also specifically told me not to look for anything important. He said that he couldn’t disturb the wonderful campus life and the crucial college entrance examination review. The phone call at noon had not yet happened.
He hung up before he could say anything.
"Stop, stop, sister Le Yao, you are the general manager. These are the things you should take care of. Why should I look to you if I want to take care of these myself?"
Xia Xu listened to Chen Leyao's words getting longer and longer, and couldn't help but interrupt with a headache: "You are a professional, everything is decided by you. I am only responsible for finding professional people to do professional things."
"All right."
Clearly feeling Xia Xu's unpretentious annoyance and deep trust, Chen Leyao fell into silence, dumbfounded.
"Miss, I think it's better for you to stop busy reporting on your work and think about whether you have offended anyone first."
At this time, the taxi had been driving on the road for a while, and the taxi driver driving in front suddenly made a sound.
The driver was a young man with short hair and a strong build. I wonder if he saw Chen Leyao's beauty. He glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time and took the initiative to talk to her.
"What do you mean?"
Chen Leyao was shocked when she heard this, thinking that the driver had some evil intentions and that he was sent to cause trouble for her.
"It's not me, I mean someone is following you behind."
The capable young driver was a little helpless and gestured towards the rearview mirror on the left: "Here, the white van behind us has followed us."
"Van?"
Chen Leyao looked back and her expression changed slightly.
There was indeed a van behind it, and she had already recognized it. It was the one across the street from the cafe just now.
Could it be that Griffin Jones got angry and came to trouble him?
This was her first reaction.
But she rejected this speculation instantly. If this was Griffin Jones, then he wouldn't have been speechless when she asked him as a van driver.
"Boss, I seem to have run into the trouble you mentioned..."
Chen Leyao picked up the phone and spoke with a slightly helpless and bitter voice.
She had just returned to China, and she could never offend anyone except Griffin Jones. Even if she was offended, ordinary people would only scold her a few times, or even get into a fight, and there would be little chance of finding someone to follow her.
Therefore, the only thing she could think of that might cause this kind of thing was probably the trouble her boss just mentioned about the genius medicine.
"Don't panic, look at the license plate number of that car...forget it, turn on the speaker of your phone and I'll ask the driver who took you there."
He was just interrupted by the taxi driver, not hung up, so Xia Xu naturally heard Chen Leyao's words.
However, he was not in a hurry. He heard the white van, and combined with the fact that Chen Leyao had just met Griffin Jones, he had already made some assumptions, so now he was interested in the taxi driver who had just reminded Chen Leyao.
"OK."
Although Chen Leyao looked a little solemn, she was not afraid or panicked. After hearing Xia Xu's words, she quickly followed her words, turned on the speaker and stretched her cell phone to the driver's seat.
"Brother, may I ask how you found out that someone was following you?"
After waiting for a moment, Xia Xu spoke out with great interest.
