Chapter 1353: The Boss Is About to Make a Move

Jiang Chenghao responded to Liu Xin'ai, then exchanged pleasantries with Professor Shen.

Professor Shen said with no small amount of emotion: "I am very grateful for Mr. Jiang's investment. This project still has very promising prospects, it is just that there is no return to be seen for the time being, and the level of attention is very low."

"You are too kind. Although I am a businessman, I also know that when conducting research, one cannot only look at immediate interests, and once successful, it will benefit the people."

Hearing Jiang Chenghao's words, Professor Shen nodded repeatedly and praised: "There really aren't many young people with such awareness as you."

Facing Professor Shen's praise, Jiang Chenghao remained humble and composed.

After a faint smile, he said to the others: "If you all have any needs, you can contact me, and I will do my best to help resolve them."

"Good, good, good."

"Then you all get busy, I won't disturb you further."

Jiang Chenghao left with a faint smile.

And Professor Shen stared at Jiang Chenghao's back, thinking that this young man had a sense of propriety, knew when to advance and retreat, and had high ideological awareness.

Truly not bad.

After the reflection, Professor Shen prepared to call everyone to hold a small seminar first.

But just looking around like this...

Why is someone missing?

Where is Liu Xin'ai?!

At this moment, Liu Xin'ai had already followed Jiang Chenghao to the parking lot.

Jiang Chenghao could hear the footsteps coming from behind, but he did not stop; he was waiting, waiting for Liu Xin'ai to call out to him.

"Jiang Chenghao!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the corners of Jiang Chenghao's mouth curled up slightly.

But the moment he turned around, his smile completely vanished, and he instead asked with great surprise: "Why did you follow me? Is there still some support needed for the project?"

Liu Xin'ai shook her head, then said: "I just wanted to ask, how... did you know about this project?"

"I have always admired Professor Shen. I heard from a friend that his project was looking for investors, so I sent a letter of intent."

"But Professor Shen's requirements for investors are very high."

It was precisely because the requirements were high and the returns were low that the professor had spent a lot of time without being able to find a reliable collaborator.

Then, what did Jiang Chenghao rely on to gain Professor Shen's favor?

Could it be...

Just as Liu Xin'ai was about to let her imagination run wild, Jiang Chenghao took the initiative to provide the answer: "Perhaps it was the laboratory I just acquired that attracted the professor?"

Liu Xin'ai felt this would be part of the reason.

But not the main one.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai's eyes darting around and her lips pressed tightly together, Jiang Chenghao tentatively asked: "Xin'ai, is there something you want to say?"

Indeed, there was...

Liu Xin'ai wanted to ask if Jiang Chenghao's investment had anything to do with her.

But asking it directly would be like being overly sentimental and would make both parties awkward...

Sigh, this is difficult!

But Liu Xin'ai only hesitated for a moment before deciding to let it go.

Now that the cooperation had been facilitated, dwelling on it further would just be looking for trouble.

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai revealed a relaxed smile and said: "Thank you for your investment. Our project will definitely bring you both fame and fortune!"

What Jiang Chenghao wanted was never fame and fortune.

It was...

Her!

Jiang Chenghao's heart surged, and he had to use great effort to suppress those turbulent emotions.

Afterwards, he feigned calmness again: "Thank you for your promise, and I also hope you can work happily."

"That goes without saying, I especially like my current state. Well, I'll head back first."

"Good."

Liu Xin'ai waved at Jiang Chenghao, then turned and ran back to the Laboratory.

Jiang Chenghao, however, did not move.

He just stood where he was, staring fixedly at Liu Xin'ai's back.

How could Jiang Chenghao not know Liu Xin'ai's thoughts?

She must be suspecting something.

But in the end, Liu Xin'ai did not ask, which means... in her heart, he must be somewhat different, right?

This assumption filled Jiang Chenghao's heart with tenderness.

The look in his eyes as he watched Liu Xin'ai was also full of intoxication.

But what Jiang Chenghao did not know was that while he was focused on staring at Liu Xin'ai, Xiao'an was also silently observing him.

Xiao'an had to take care of Liu Xin'ai, so naturally, wherever Liu Xin'ai went, she followed.

But the Laboratory was not a place one could just enter and exit at will.

So most of the time, Xiao'an stayed in the reception room on the first floor.

Occasionally, she would go outside to get some fresh air.

And it was this time getting fresh air that made her discover something wrong!

The man who always came to the Qin Family, the way he was looking at their Madam right now... was excessively passionate!!

The more Xiao'an thought about it, the more wrong it felt, so she turned around and secretly sent a message to Qin Yiyan.

It was only after a while that Qin Yiyan had the time to look at his phone.

And the name in the message made him narrow his eyes.

Afterwards, he immediately had Lin Ze go and investigate to see what new project Professor Shen had recently started.

Before long, Lin Ze brought the results to report to Qin Yiyan.

And these results caused a layer of oppressive pressure to suddenly rise around Qin Yiyan: "We have clearly collaborated with Professor Shen before; why was our company not considered first when there was a new project?"

Lin Ze stood to the side with his head bowed, stating his own analysis: "It is precisely because we have collaborated before that they understand our business philosophy and crossed us off the list of collaborators; after all, Professor Shen's new project leans towards the public welfare category."

What type it was did not matter.

As long as it was a project that Liu Xin'ai was participating in, Qin Yiyan did not want to miss it!

Now it was a fine mess; not only had he missed it perfectly, but he had also let Jiang Chenghao take advantage of the loophole!

The more Qin Yiyan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he raised his hand to forcefully loosen his tie.

Seeing that his boss was in a foul mood, Lin Ze immediately spoke to console him: "This project requires a huge initial investment, and it is hard to say whether it will be profitable; it is very likely to become a hot potato."

"But inside this hot potato, there is Xin'ai."

Uh...

Lin Ze took a moment to react before asking: "Is Madam also in the project group?"

"Mm!"

In this instant, Lin Ze understood everything.

And thinking back to the final collaborator Professor Shen had chosen...

Heavens, the fact that his boss hadn't gone over there to kill someone directly meant his temper had been good lately!

However, looking at Qin Yiyan's increasingly tense expression, Lin Ze felt that his boss would take action sooner or later.

To prevent his boss from doing something irrational in a fit of impulse, Lin Ze spoke up: "Jiang Chenghao won't be able to gain any advantage; the members participating in the project are all very busy."

Hmph, that applies to others!

But if it were Jiang Chenghao...

No, he could not just sit and wait for death!

Qin Yiyan narrowed his eyes and gave instructions to Lin Ze: "Cancel all the social engagements after work today."

"Yes."

"Then arrange for a driver to take me to the Laboratory."

"Very well."

"Starting now, hurry up and get the work done ahead of schedule!"

"Understood!"

Lin Ze felt a sense of urgency from Qin Yiyan's series of arrangements.

He walked out of the office and followed Qin Yiyan's requirements.

At the same time, he secretly grumbled in his heart: The boss is definitely going to stir up trouble!

Lin Ze's prediction was not wrong.

Qin Yiyan sat in his leather chair, his fingers gently rubbing his chin, a gleam of calculation flashing in the depths of his eyes.

And Liu Xin'ai, who was still immersed in her work at this moment, did not know what was about to happen.
