"It's good to be motivated, but you also need to act within your capabilities."
This was Tan Xiu's point of view. If it were an ordinary friend who asked for 3 or 5 million yuan, he would never have bothered to pay attention to it. But Yuan Chuling was not his ordinary friend. He was his best friend who could fight for him, proposed to expel him from school, and finally followed him to transfer classes.
Tan Xiu took out a cigarette and took the time to light it and smoke. He then transferred 5 million yuan to Yuan Chuling's account through his mobile phone. Then, he calmly said, "Just give me a call for such a trivial matter later. You don't have to come all the way here."
Yuan Chuling was a bit touched inside, but he didn't show it on the surface. With a smile on his chubby face, he said to his girlfriend, Wei Xiaoting, "See? This Big Bro of mine is so bright that I'm speechless. Big Bro will protect you in the future. You'll definitely have a good life if you follow me. "
"You're dead!"
Wei Xiaoting coquettishly rolled her eyes at Fatty. She then shifted to Tang Xiu and said, "This Fatty is really lucky to have a Boss like you. I always heard him say how good you are to him before, and now I've seen it with my own eyes. I'll call you Big Bro like Fatty in the future! You … you don't mind, do you? "
"It's fine." Tan Xiu waved his hand and smilingly said.
"Well, have you had lunch, Big Bro?" Wei Xiaoting laughed. "Shall we find a place to have lunch together?"
Tan Xiu didn't refuse. He didn't have much ability to recognize people when he was in the Immortal World. But after returning to Earth, he had been very diligent in this aspect and had made great progress. Even though it was his first time interacting with Wei Xiao Ting, he could sense that Wei Xiao Ting wasn't with him because Yuan Chuling was rich. Her attitude and even her eyes showed that she really … liked Yuan Chuling.
In the evening.
Tan Xiu received a call from Mo Yi and came to Paradise Manor. Although Mo Yi didn't say anything specific over the phone, Tan Xiu felt that it should be something good from his trembling voice that was tinged with surprise. To his surprise, just as he arrived at the innermost western-style building in Paradise Manor, he found Han Jintong, Shanjenna, Ouyang Lulu, and Han Qingwu were also there besides Mo Yi.
"Professor Mo, why did you call me over so urgently?"
Inkblot held the glass bottle tightly in his hand. The glass bottle was half filled with dark red blood. Upon hearing Tan Xiu's inquiry, he hurriedly replied with an excited expression, "There's a special active energy in Shanjenna's blood, Boss. I've studied it and found that this active energy can slow down the cell division in the human body and secrete more red blood cells. At the same time, I discovered that it contains another terrifying virus element. This virus element is extremely harmful to living beings, but if it is integrated into the bloodstream, it will evolve into active energy … "
Tan Xiu interrupted him and said, "Professor Mo, you don't have to explain in such detail. I just want to hear the most important conclusion."
"Active energy can slow down the metabolism of living beings and can supplement the internal energy consumption of living beings," said Mo Yi. "The simplest way to put it is that if there's this active energy in the human body, it can prolong one's life."
Tan Xiu was silent for a moment and then slowly asked, "Can the human body accommodate this active energy?"
"Ugh …"
Mo Yi's expression froze and he was rendered speechless. He only studied the substance contained in the Bloodkin's blood, but he didn't conduct any experiments at all. The possibility he mentioned was a complete speculation. According to Mo Yi's past character and rigorous attitude toward science, such a situation would never occur.
However …
The result of the Bloodkin's blood research made him extremely excited. After all, if the active energy he studied was really as he speculated, and it could greatly increase the lifespan of humans, it would mean that he had achieved great success in the field of scientific research. Even if this result were to be promoted to the entire human race, he would rewrite history and become the greatest scientist in the history of mankind.
Looking at the frozen expression on Mo Yi's face, Tan Xiu lightly said, "Professor Mo, your current research results are just like Tang Xuanzang and his disciple's journey to the West on a pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures. They've only taken the first step, yet they couldn't even rescue Monkey Sun who was crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain. Don't deny it, the active energy you just mentioned hasn't been tested on the human body yet. Furthermore, even if it has been tested, it's still unknown whether this active energy can survive in the human body. Even if it can survive, will there be any sequelae? Even if there are no sequelae and it's completely beneficial to mankind, there's no way to promote it to the entire human race. Even this research can't be exposed to outsiders. "
Mo Yi was ashamed by Tan Xiu's words, but Tan Xiu's last sentence still made him a bit unconvinced, so he asked, "Why can't it?"
"You're a researcher, so you probably haven't thought about the consequences." Tan Xiu sighed. "The active energy exists in the blood of the Bloodkin. How many Bloodkin are there in this world? How many Bloodkin's blood can be provided to increase the lifespan of humans? Furthermore, if the amount of the active energy extracted is too little and it's known by those powerful people in the world, do you think it will cause turmoil? Can we be safe and sound? An ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime. You should understand this truth. "
Mo Yi was stunned. Tan Xiu's words were like a blow to his head, making him sober up in a flash.
Quantity!
An ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime.
Merely these two factors caused the trace of dissatisfaction in the bottom of his heart to vanish into thin air. Humans have endless desires, and greed is the most terrifying desire. Since ancient times, there have been Human Sovereigns who committed all kinds of atrocious crimes for the sake of immortality. For the sake of longevity, for the sake of prolonging life, what kind of disaster would the modern people do at all costs?
And wouldn't the disaster fall on him and Tan Xiu?
Cold sweat dripped from Mo Yi's forehead. An apologetic look appeared on his old face as he nodded and said, "I understand, Boss."
Tan Xiu sighed and faintly said, "Your responsibility is research, Professor Mo. I also hope that your research can achieve great results. But we don't have the ability to suppress the entire human race, so we can only secretly use the results on our own people. Whether we can prolong our lifespan and live a few more years, it's all up to you. "
Our own people?
Including me?
Mo Yi's eyes lit up. He nodded with a serious expression and said, "Rest assured, Boss. I'll do my best."
Tan Xiu patted his shoulder and then looked at Shanjenna with a faint smile. "Stay for a while! Cooperate with Professor Mo's research. I'll give you a big gift when his research results are out. Even if you can't become a Prince in the future, being an Earl or Marquis is also good. "
"I'll definitely fully cooperate with you!" Shanjenna was ecstatic.
Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction. Then, he suddenly looked at Han Jintong and said, "Actually, even if I don't give you a cultivation technique, I'm afraid your granddaughter will get one for you in the future given her ability. However, given your current age and the cultivation conditions on Earth, it will be very difficult for you to have any great achievements even if you risk your life. I think you should relax your mind and enjoy your old age. "
Han Jintong revealed a bitter expression and said, "Even if I don't have any great achievements, it's still better than doing nothing all day long! Moreover, even a single level of advancement would increase my lifespan by a little. Living longer is always a good thing, after all. "
"I understand." Tan Xiu nodded.
Shortly after.
Tan Xiu left the western-style house and greeted Ouyang Lulu. Just after he left the Paradise Manor, he received a call from Han Qingwu. After waiting outside for a few minutes, Han Qingwu drove her car and caught up with him.
"Is there something?"
Sitting in the driver's seat, Tan Xiu opened the front seat's window and asked.
Han Qingwu also didn't get off. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will you go to school tomorrow?"
"I should go to school tomorrow if there are no unexpected situations," said Tan Xiu. "But why don't you stay in Changxi City for a few more days?"
"Yu Hong has to work, so she doesn't have much time," said Han Qingwu with a smile. "Alright, I just wanted to ask you if you'll go to school tomorrow. There's nothing else, so I'll take my leave first. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu closed the window and couldn't help but shake his head. A woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the ocean. He really couldn't fathom it. If it was just to ask if he would go to school tomorrow, she could have just asked on the phone. Why did she make him wait for a few minutes and waste his time?
The next two days were calm and tranquil.
Tan Xiu didn't care about Xie Zhiqiang and SOE's matters in these two days, nor did he ask about Mo Yi's research. Instead, he went to the classroom, the cafeteria, the library, and then returned to Bluestar Villa Complex to rest.
Early in the morning.
The first ray of sunlight passed through the gap of the curtains and shone into the bedroom. Tan Xiu was awakened by the melodious ringtone of his mobile phone. He picked up the phone and chatted with Kang Xia for a while, learning that she would personally rush to Shanghai three days later to preside over the project bidding meeting. The project bidding was imminent, and all the procedures for the purchase of the land had been completed and all the documents had been approved. They only needed to finalize the final construction company before the project could start.
The design drawing.
It was drawn by Tan Xiu himself, but it was only a rough outline of the overall framework. He didn't draw the specific architectural distribution, the subdivision of the building, the house type, the specifications, and so on. Naturally, he needed the construction company to modify and design it according to his design drawing.
Tan Xiu's drawing ability was very strong, and he also had countless buildings in the Immortal World as his reference. But this time, he was going to build the Magnificent Tang Corporation's HQ and industrial park, so he didn't know much about the design and considerations of modern architecture.
Knock, knock …
The door was knocked and the voice of the housekeeper, Zhang Xinlan, came from the outside, "Mr. Tang, there's a guest waiting for you in the living room downstairs."
Tan Xiu opened the door and looked at Zhang Xinlan outside, asking, "Who's looking for me?"
"Your Big Sister, Miss Chen," said Zhang Xinlan with a smile.
Big Sister?
Chen Xiaowan?
Tan Xiu's expression moved and he immediately walked out of the door.
[There will be a lot of meetings in the next few days, so the second chapter may be delayed a bit. Please understand, Brothers and Sisters!]
