In order to lose weight, many young girls from wealthy families only ate one meal a day, sometimes only one apple a day. Although Jiang Chen had suspected a long time ago, would they not starve to death by eating like that?
Dieting was not only harmful to the body, but it was also difficult to maintain. This was the origin of the joke, "Fat people lose weight, the more they lose, the more fat they get."
Imagine if there was a diet pill on the market – no, it would be called a low-calorie food! You would only need to drink two tubes a day to be full without any harm to the body. If you drank it for half a year, you would look like the refugees in the ghetto. Of course, no one would want to be that skinny. A normal person would "stop" after a month.
The taste of the wasteland version of the nutrient supply was still too strong. Since it was a product, it couldn't be too hard for the customers to swallow. Also, due to food safety issues, the ingredients and nutritional value of the nutrient supply must be redesigned.
For the improved nutrient supply, Jiang Chen made a few requirements to the five researchers.
First, it had to taste good. Second, it had to be healthy (at least not sick). Third, it had to be low in calories. Fourth, it had to be easy to obtain and suitable for mass production. The recipe had to be completed within a month. The sooner, the better. The earlier they completed it, the more they could live in the fallout shelter for a month.
To Jiang Chen's requirements, the five researchers all promised that they would complete it within the stipulated time.
When the five people left the command center, they all had smiles on their faces as they wanted to rush back to the fallout shelter to start the experiment.
"Once they produce results, remember to immediately report to the base," Jiang Chen reminded Xu Lu before he left.
"Yes! Boss, "Xu Lu replied with a smile.
"Then that's it. Also, did Han Junhua compromise?"
Hearing this, Xu Lu shook her head in shame.
"Not yet."
"I see."
[What a troublesome person. Why can't she just listen to me?] [PAC is already light years away. What's there to be so stubborn about?] Jiang Chen muttered in his mind.
"Do you want to go see her?" Xu Lu asked.
"Mhmm. Let's go," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
He wanted to personally ask her if she had changed her mind to show his sincerity in persuading her to surrender. Then, depending on the situation, he would decide if he should teach her a lesson before he left … Hehe, Jiang Chen thought he was too evil.
A smile appeared on Xu Lu's face as she nodded.
"Alright, please follow me."
He followed Xu Lu into the cold basement. The guard at the door saluted him, opened the door for them, and then closed the door for them.
Han Junhua calmly sat on the bed and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen could feel the moment she looked at him, there was a flash of panic in her pupils. Although it quickly disappeared, it was deeply imprinted in his heart.
He didn't know why, but a wisp of guilt arose in his heart when he saw the calm and composed expression on her face.
Was it because his thoughts were still stuck in the modern world?
"… You can leave now," Jiang Chen said softly.
"Yes." Xu Lu nodded and left the basement.
The metal door slammed shut, and the basement fell into silence again.
To Jiang Chen's surprise, Han Junhua was the first to break the silence.
"What kind of perverted thing are you planning to do to me today?"
Her voice was cold, so cold that it could freeze people, but there was not a hint of emotion in her voice.
"I …" Jiang Chen opened his mouth but closed it again.
He had already thought of what to say, but in the face of this calm face, he suddenly forgot what to say.
Jiang Chen let out a sigh and threw the prepared excuse to the back of his head.
"I'm sorry."
Han Junhua's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and confusion, but it was only for a moment.
"Although I didn't ask for your forgiveness, I still want to apologize for what I did to you."
Jiang Chen admitted that he did have perverted thoughts due to the lust in his brain, and he put his evil thoughts into action without any sense of guilt. After the incident, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She was his captive, and it was his freedom to do whatever he wanted with her.
Needless to say, after staying in a lawless society for a long time, people would unconsciously become corrupted along with the environment. Jiang Chen also realized this a long time ago. The longer he stayed in the apocalypse, the more his way of thinking was similar to the people in the apocalypse.
After returning to society, the evil aura would gradually dissipate. Perhaps Sun Jiao and Ayesha both noticed this, but Jiang Chen only noticed this anomaly recently.
If it was the Jiang Chen from before, although he was a bit shameless, he would never force her to do something like that.
After a long silence, she said in a calm tone.
"Who would apologize to a captive?"
"… Perhaps." Jiang Chen shook his head and left the basement.
Han Junhua didn't say anything as she watched Jiang Chen leave.
However, a trace of bewilderment flashed across his black pupils.
…
When he returned to the hotel, Jiang Chen checked out at the front desk before returning to Xia Shiyu's apartment.
But when he knocked on the door, there was no response. He called Xia Shiyu before he realized what was going on. It was already ten in the morning, and Xia Shiyu was already at work.
On the phone, Xia Shiyu didn't ask where Jiang Chen went last night. She simply told him how to get a ride to Future International's building before she hung up.
Her meaning was obvious. She hoped that Jiang Chen, the elusive president, would take some time to come to the company. Regarding the project bidding, Jiang Chen ran out halfway through the discussion yesterday. This time, he could finish the rest of the work.
He was too lazy to take a ride, so he stopped a taxi and told the driver his destination. Then, he sat in the passenger seat and played with his phone.
However, at that moment, a phone call came in.
Looking at the name, Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, but he still picked up.
"Hello?"
"It's me." Wang Zhiyong's voice was bitter.
"… If this call is for your uncle, then don't say it," Jiang Chen said softly.
"I knew you would say that." Wang Zhiyong sighed.
After a pause, Wang Zhiyong changed to a pleading tone.
"Can't you let me go?"
He rarely begged his friends, and he didn't want to, but this was for his family, not for himself. Although he was a bit of a playboy at times, there was nothing much to say about his standpoint.
"You can ask Wang Linhua, when he reached out that night, did he think about letting me go?" Jiang Chen laughed.
Wang Zhiyong fell into silence.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"I know … Sorry, I'm sorry."
When he left the police station that day, he didn't reveal to Jiang Chen that the Wang family had their eyes on Future Technology, even though he already knew some rumors. Since between family and friends, there was no doubt which one was more important.
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
Jiang Chen let out a sigh and hung up the phone.
He didn't have a lot of friends, and now he had one less …
Just as he was about to put away his phone, Jiang Chen received another call.
It was an international call.
