"This is Mr. Neuer, the engineer from the American company that Miss Zou contacted." Lin Jiaojiao did not notice anything out of the ordinary and introduced him to Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren studied Neuer's System panel carefully. It gave him an unbelievable diagnosis.
Zheng Ren stared at Neuer for a full five seconds.
As time passed, the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward and strange.
The others turned to look at Zheng Ren. They did not know why Boss Zheng was staring at Neuer without blinking.
"Boss? Are you out of your mind? "Su Yun asked.
Zheng Ren did not speak. He only stared at Neuer as if he was looking at some unknown creature.
"Boss, don't tell me it's a long-lost relative of yours. Don't be so dramatic," Su Yun said disdainfully.
Lin Jiaojiao also thought it was strange, but she could not joke around like Su Yun.
"Look at his eyes," Zheng Ren suddenly whispered.
Lin Jiaojiao heaved a sigh of relief when Zheng Ren spoke. In that instant, Lin Jiaojiao's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. She was most afraid that Boss Zheng would despise the community hospital that she had painstakingly built.
"Mr. Neuer, I brought Boss Zheng here," Lin Jiaojiao said with a smile.
The engineer raised his head slightly and looked at Zheng Ren and the others.
Neuer's eyes were white, and the color of his right pupil was slightly lighter. It looked strange. The moment he raised his head, his hand moved uncontrollably like a wild pianist playing the piano.
There was an eerie harmony to it.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. With an arrogant tone, he said in American English, "I don't think you have any use for such a sophisticated thing."
Neuer's voice was slightly muffled, as if he had a strange local accent. However, the indistinct accent was so soft that it was impossible to distinguish it without careful observation.
"Are you a Germanic immigrant to the United States?" Professor Rudolf Wagner suddenly asked.
Neuer's expression softened when he saw the professor.
"I'm Rudolf Wagner from Heidelberg University," the professor introduced himself.
"I am …"
"Boss, there's something wrong with his eyes." Su Yun said, "Both of his eyes are staring to the left, and … I'll go!"
There was nothing wrong with Neuer's facial muscles. He closed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and furrowed his brows.
The wrinkles on the forehead were of the same depth as those on the opposite side, and the height of the eyebrows and the size of the palpebral fissure were the same as those on the opposite side.
However, the muscles on the lower part of his face were abnormal. The moment he stopped talking, the left side of his nasolabial groove became shallow, and the corner of his mouth drooped. When he showed his teeth, the corner of his mouth tilted to the right.
This meant that the buccal muscles, dilator of the mouth, orbicularis oris, and other muscles were paralyzed.
"Central facial paralysis? Brain infarction? "Su Yun asked in shock.
Without a word, he strode toward Neuer.
"Mr. Neuer, do you feel unwell?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Hmm?" Neuer was taken aback when he heard Zheng Ren's fluent American English with a slight German accent.
This accent was almost identical to his own. It was not standard English, nor was it the American English of Houston.
"Yes, what's wrong?" he answered subconsciously.
"I saw the corner of your mouth twitching, so I thought you must be feeling unwell," Zheng Ren said.
"Are you provoking me?" Neuer said angrily, "There's nothing wrong with me. My hands are as dexterous as an elf's. I can even fix this machine with my toes. You d * mn doctors, I'll never go to the hospital for the rest of my life! "
"No, no, Mr. Neuer," Zheng Ren said. "I suspect you … have a sudden cerebral infarction, and it's still in the early stages. Go to the hospital immediately for a checkup. I can remove the thrombus for you!"
Neuer also felt that there was something wrong with his words, but when he heard Zheng Ren speak in the same accent as him, his eyes were filled with wariness.
"Cerebral infarction. It's better to remove the thrombus as soon as possible. Your condition has just flared up, so there's still time." Zheng Ren's attitude was a little cautious. Su Yun thought it was strange.
Although it was only a little and the others around him did not hear it, Su Yun caught it.
This was definitely not the boss' persona!
"No!" Neuer said angrily, "I'm fine. I'm as strong as a bison in Texas!"
As he said that, he hit his chest with his hand, making loud banging sounds.
Zheng Ren did not continue to persuade him. Instead, he looked at Neuer with a strange gaze.
Lin Jiaojiao had interacted with Neuer before and knew that he was very capable and confident in his ability to command others. Under his urging, the project that was supposed to be completed in two days was completed in one morning.
Although the corner of Neuer's mouth twitched occasionally, it did not seem to affect him. Since it was impolite to ask such personal questions and it did not affect work, Lin Jiaojiao did not care.
In Lin Jiaojiao's opinion, these were all trivial matters. What was wrong with Boss Zheng?
Neuer said unhappily, "I went to Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center for a checkup. The doctor's diagnosis is very clear. It's a small problem with the retina, but there's no cure."
"Diabetes?" Zheng Ren asked.
"No! Definitely not! "Neuer screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Oh my god, you must be willing to drink beer. But a place like Houston definitely doesn't have the purity of beer in Munich! " Professor Rudolf Wagner immediately understood what was happening. He waved his hands and spoke in German.
"Yes, Mr. Rudolf. D * mn Texas, d * mn Houston, d * mn cowboy! " Neuer cursed angrily. "The beer there isn't pure at all. The maltose content is high. Two liters would make you happy, but in Texas, you have to drink three! Luckily, I'm going to retire soon and return to Munich. "
"I've been to Houston once and I don't want to go there again." The professor laughed and said, "Old friend, when you have time to return to Heidelberg, I'll treat you to our beer."
"Boss, it's a classic case of cerebral infarction. Should we knock him out and drag him back for surgery?" Su Yun joked.
Zheng Ren shook his head slightly. He seemed to be thinking about something and appeared to be absent-minded.
Professor Rudolf Wagner and Neuer were having a conversation. They were like old friends who had met in a foreign land and quickly got into a lively conversation.
Although Neuer looked stubborn and arrogant, he wasn't too surprised when the professor said that the young doctor was his boss.
"Mr. Neuer, when did the corner of your mouth start twitching?" Zheng Ren suddenly interrupted and asked.
