Ryan and Chen Feng sat opposite each other, while Zhong Lei sat next to Chen Feng, pretending to cut her nails, but in fact she was distracted and secretly alert.
Ryan was completely unaware of the subtle atmosphere in the room and only said sincerely again: "Mr. Chen, I have thanked you many times along the way."
"No, no, no. Which of us will follow the other?" Chen Feng waved his hand.
"Yeah." Ryan smiled, and he became more and more pleased with Chen Feng, "Mr. Roerle's family gave you two million US dollars to express their gratitude. I am just a researcher, and I haven't saved much money over the years.
"
Chen Feng shook his head, "No need, I'm not short of money."
"I think so too." Ryan nodded, "That's why I won't talk to you about money."
Zhong Lei next to her snorted, "Roerle gave so much just to save his life, and you're still unscathed. How can you be so embarrassed?"
She has a lot of subtext.
Ryan was slightly embarrassed.
Fortunately, Chen Feng saved him, "Zhong Lei, what are you talking about? Brother Ryan and I hit it off, how can we talk about money? How vulgar? If it's really just for money, do I need to work so hard?"
Zhong Lei rolled her eyes wildly and thought to herself.
Yes, yes, we all know that you are not short of money.
If you don't do it for money, could it be that you do it for his people?
"snort!"
She fell silent.
I don’t know how much Ryan meant it. He thought about it and said: "In short, I will never forget your great kindness. To use a domestic proverb, if you have the motivation in the future, I will be completely pissed off!"
This sentence is quite flavorful.
Zhong Lei was about to say that your words were too beautiful and sounded insincere.
Unexpectedly, Chen Feng clapped his hands and said, "Good brother! I remember your words!"
Ryan hummed heavily, then stood up to leave.
As a witness to the incident and the introducer of major Sino-US cooperation projects, Ryan had to give a complete explanation to all parties.
So the dinner and chat promised tonight can only be rescheduled.
Fortunately, the key people responsible for all aspects of the project are still alive, so if Ryan keeps pushing forward, the cooperation can continue.
Ryan left, but Zhong Lei did not leave.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became a little strange.
A bit of silence, a bit of embarrassment and thinking, as if something was brewing.
Zhong Lei intertwined the fingers of her hands, and her fingertips kept rubbing the back of her hands.
Chen Feng said: "Let's take a rest first, and then we'll go to Beverly for dinner. We've given you the money, so we can't waste it in vain."
He stood up and made preparations to go to the bedroom.
Zhong Lei stopped him from behind, "Wait a moment."
"What's up?"
"Don't you really have that feeling for that guy named Ryan?" She finally couldn't help it and asked.
As she spoke, she made fists with both hands and touched the index fingers of her left and right hands.
Chen Feng's eyes widened and he opened his mouth slightly, "What?"
He understands.
He couldn't laugh or cry, "Oh my god, what are you thinking? Haven't I already explained it, why aren't you done yet?"
Zhong Lei: "You can't blame me, who asked you to act too...that stuff."
Chen Feng sat down on the sofa again, took out his cell phone, and searched for Ryan's personal information.
"Watch it for yourself. After reading it, you will understand why I value him so much."
Five minutes later, Zhong Lei put down her phone.
Her face changed several times, "It's because I am ignorant. Such a scientist deserves admiration. It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance. He is only twenty-nine years old!"
Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, what a pity it would be if he died like this? That's why I desperately saved him. It's the same as when I saved you and Meng Wanyue. My motivation is actually the same. He is very good, but you
Not bad. Do you understand?"
Zhong Lei already knew what he expected of her, so she just nodded and said, "But why do you know that something will happen to him?"
Chen Feng shook his head again, "It's not certain, it's just a possibility. In this weather, it's just a possibility. Just like when I rescued you, my right eyelid kept twitching, so I decided to take action. If I guess wrong, it's just that
It’s a loss of one day. Right? This business is too profitable, and the cost is not as good as my previous car robbery and driving on the wrong side of the road.”
"Okay." Zhong Lei looked at Chen Feng, his eyes flashing.
Once again, I got to know him more deeply.
He had an indescribable great feeling in his heart.
His character looks like a mortal, but he hides great ideals in his heart that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and he has the ability to put them into practice and truly achieve them.
How lucky you are to know such a man.
What I pursue is music.
His pursuits and ideals are so big that just thinking about them will make people's hearts surge with admiration.
If someone else understood Chen Feng, they would find him ridiculous and arrogant.
But Zhong Lei won't, because in a sense, she herself is pursuing that kind of state.
She can resonate with Chen Feng.
"Chen Feng, I like you."
She spoke.
No more hesitation.
That's exactly the kind of temperament she has.
After Chen Feng was briefly shocked, he calmed down.
He did not escape, but nodded, "I know."
"Well……"
On the contrary, Zhong Lei was caught off guard.
She didn't expect Chen Feng to answer so bluntly that she didn't know how to answer the question for a while.
"And, I quite like you. But as you once said to me, having feelings does not mean that we will become lovers. I am very satisfied with the way we get along now. I feel very comfortable and relaxed.
I believe you feel the same way? Right?"
Zhong Lei thought for about twenty seconds, then chuckled and said: "That's right."
"So." Chen Feng patted her shoulder, "If you confess your feelings or not, nothing will change. After all, we still have a lot to do, and we will leave it to time as to how we will proceed. You may not believe it if you tell me.
, I have a very absurd idea, if we don’t become lovers, we will never become enemies.”
Zhong Lei shook her head, "I don't agree with you on this point."
"Okay, you have your opinion, and I won't argue with you. But I now think that taking our relationship further may harm your creative ability. But I can't guarantee that this idea will not change in the future.
We can only say and act and see, time will give us the answer.”
Zhong Lei: "Yeah. But I don't think it will hurt my creative ability."
Chen Feng: "..."
He ran away.
Shut the door with a bang.
He covered his heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a violent beating in the heart, as if Aunt Xue was knocking on the door.
He leaned against the door and slowly sat down on the floor.
It's hard to be a saint.
What's more, Zhong Lei is so beautiful, so talented, and has such a personality...
Okay, sometimes she can be quite violent, but after getting to know her, I find that she is just innocent and careless.
Her previous indifference was just a protective color she wore on her body.
