If one looked closely, they would find that Jimmy had European features, and his pupils were not Asian. There was no doubt that he was a mixed-race.
Elegant and witty, this was a man who could easily attract the attention of socialites. He had the strong aura of a business elite.
"Do you believe in fate?" Jimmy smiled, revealing his white and neat teeth. He looked at Luoqiu and asked.
Ever since Luoqiu came in, Jimmy's eyes had been on Luoqiu. Although his eyes were still burning when he looked at Song Ying, he obviously maintained some restraint and distance. He didn't make people feel abrupt or aggressive.
Boss Luo was holding the peas on the plate with the back of the knife and poking a few peas with a fork. He hadn't had time to put them into his mouth yet, so he became interested in this topic.
Boss Luo naturally liked fate more than ordinary people.
He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Jimmy, what do you think fate should be?"
Seeing Song Ying look at him, Jimmy picked up the cup with his left hand and took a sip of water. He said slowly, "Someone once said that we will meet about 29.2 million people in our lifetime, but the probability of two people falling in love is only 0.000049 percent, which is 49 out of a million. In the vast sea of people, the chances of men and women, or even people of the same sex, from meeting to falling in love are so low. But around us, there are people who love each other all the time. Don't you think this is fate? "
"That's a romantic way of putting it. It's not really probability." Song Ying ruined the atmosphere and said, "Besides, how did the number 29.3 million come about? Have you done a sampling experiment?"
Jimmy was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly. He raised his glass with his left hand and toasted the two of them. "Aiya, this' once heard 'that has always been successful in the past has become nonsense when it comes to Miss Song. Miss Song, please forgive my ignorance. "
Her assistant, Zi Yun, who was accompanying her at the table, sighed in her heart … It would be strange if her Miss Ying knew how to be romantic. Her mind was probably filled with stock tickers.
For a person who didn't even have a copy of "Pride and Prejudice" in her bookcase, romance was like playing the lute to a cow … Of course, this talent had used the wrong method. However, Zi Yun naturally wouldn't point it out.
Can't you see that the main character is still sitting next to you? The little assistant stole a glance at Master Qiu. She was thinking more about the mysterious designer, Astaroth, and felt a little strange.
She was from the Song Family's village school, specializing in business and social relations … Didn't they say that this Master Qiu grew up in an ordinary family? What was with the old-fashioned palace etiquette that only a few ancient European nobles knew?
Miss Ying couldn't see it. She barely passed the social dance class … This talent Jimmy couldn't see it either.
Although this kind of talent packaged himself well, there were some essential things that couldn't be packaged … Although this lunch seemed to be Jimmy's humor, Zi Yun liked this Young Master Qiu's occasional one or two sentences.
According to the school's theory of self-cultivation, it was to hide one's strength and bide one's time.
Thinking about it, the little assistant attracted the attention of this Master Qiu. Luo Qiu just smiled faintly. Then, he stretched out his finger and pointed at his lips.
Zi Yun was startled, only then did she realize that there was some sauce on her lips. At this moment, Master Qiu suddenly spoke, which immediately attracted the attention of Jimmy and Miss Ying.
Zi Yun took the opportunity to quickly wipe her lips with a napkin. At least she didn't forget herself.
"Actually, I think Mr. Jimmy's words are very interesting." Luoqiu's voice wasn't loud, but it made people want to continue listening.
Song Ying was quite touched by this. This dead head seemed to be transparent when he didn't speak, but when he spoke, his words were meaningless and would immediately become the focus of attention.
In fact, Song Ying was quite helpless about this … Well, the perfume smell came again!
"Why do you say that?" Song Ying asked expressionlessly.
Luoqiu looked at her and said, "Let's put it another way … As long as there are people in the world, there will be opportunities for people to know and love each other. Probability also believes in opportunities, right?"
Miss Ying's heart skipped a beat when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the second half … So angry!
Do you know why I asked you to come here?!
Why are you trying to undermine me?!
"Excuse me, excuse me for a moment. I need to go to the washroom." Jimmy stood up and nodded in acknowledgment.
Zi Yun noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she said, "Miss, Young Master, I'm going to touch up my makeup too. Take your time, take your time, hahaha …"
The waiters were all waiting outside, so only Luoqiu and Song Ying were left in the room. Today, Miss Ying was wearing a black dress. She had already taken off her jacket. The weather in March and April was actually quite cold, but there was a heater in the room. However, it was inevitable that small bumps would appear on her fair skin.
She couldn't help but hug her arms and wipe them gently.
However, the legendary scene of taking off her clothes and putting them on didn't happen. Luoqiu just turned up the heater and asked the waiters outside to bring new hot tea.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Miss Ying said indifferently, "Your clothes are not bad. Did your girlfriend pick them out for you?"
"Yes." Luoqiu nodded.
Miss Ying rolled her eyes. She didn't feel good about it, "You're quite straightforward. You should learn from Jimmy. If it were him, he wouldn't admit it."
"Are you feeling unwell these days?"
Miss Ying, who had punched cotton many times, could only say helplessly, "I'm fine. I haven't even started yet. Of course, I have to be busy. Thank you for your concern … Are you concerned about me?"
Luoqiu nodded, "I think I should be concerned about you. Don't you like it?"
"Like … I don't believe you!" Song Ying sighed. She held her forehead and looked at him, as if she was trying to make eye contact.
After a while, she felt something draped over her body. Song Ying was startled. She raised her eyes and took a peek … It was just her jacket hanging on the chair.
Luoqiu walked to the window sill and seemed to be looking at the scenery outside … This made Song Ying feel that he just did it casually. She sighed helplessly.
Luo Qiu opened the window a little, and the cold wind blew in. Song Ying felt the coolness from outside, which helped to disperse the stuffy smell in the room.
Luoqiu said, "Spring is coming."
Spring in March and April.
Song Ying was startled. She looked out of the window. The curtain was opened by Luoqiu, so she could see the exquisiteness of the club's courtyard.
Cherry trees were planted here. The blooming period of cherry blossoms was very short. They were gorgeous and fell at the same time. Song Ying was fascinated by them. Her body became lazy.
Cherry blossoms in March and April.
She suddenly said, "Hey, do you think it's okay if I dye my hair back?"
…
"Well … It's a young man with the surname Luo. He seems to be from a big family, but there's little information about him."
In the bathroom, Jimmy was on the phone with Mr. Haus, reporting some things. "This Song Ying doesn't seem to follow the Luo guy's orders, but she should pay attention to this person. We don't know what their relationship is yet."
However, Mr. House didn't seem to be interested in this. He said a few words and ended the call.
The old man was in his twilight years, but Jimmy was still in his prime and full of energy. Naturally, he was a hundred times more interested in business than Mr. House.
After hanging up the phone, Jimmy suddenly sneered. However, the smile disappeared in a flash. When he looked in the mirror again, he was back to his usual polite self.
At this moment, someone came into the bathroom. He was wearing a windbreaker and a hat. The hat was pulled down, so only half of his face could be seen.
Jimmy looked at the person walking in through the mirror in confusion. He knew that the person had stopped and was standing behind him … A look of surprise flashed across Jimmy's face, and he immediately turned around.
The person happened to raise his head at this time.
Jimmy looked at the person's face and suddenly opened his mouth. He took a small step back and hit the sink. "You …"
…
…
Zi Yun had already touched up her makeup. She returned to the door of the private room, but didn't go in. She asked the waiter outside if Mr. Jimmy was back. After getting no reply, she stood outside the door and waited. She told the two waiters not to go in.
At this time, Zi Yun received a message from Mr. Jimmy. He said that he had something to do and left. The lunch bill had been paid … Although she was confused, Zi Yun didn't care too much.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Zi Yun felt that it was about time, so she pushed the door and went in.
At this time, Song Ying was leaning on the table and Luoqiu was standing in front of the window. The two were looking at the scenery outside … Zi Yun covered her mouth and snickered. Then she said, "Miss, Young Master, I'm sorry. I just received a call and came back late."
Song Ying woke up from a very comfortable state and responded with an "Oh."
Zi Yun said, "Mr. Jimmy just left me a message saying that he had something to do and had to leave. He asked me to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness next time."
Miss Ying waved her hand and said, "Next time, just ask him to leave. He's such a glib talker. You can deal with him for me. That Mr. Haus only sent his assistant, so you can do it for me. We're of equal status. "
Luo Qiu chuckled as he listened.
"What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?" Song Ying rolled her eyes.
Zi Yun walked up and reminded her softly, "Miss … that's not how you use 'equal status.' It's used when people arrange marriages. It means that their family backgrounds are similar … "
"You're so good at Chinese!" Song Ying exploded. "This Jimmy doesn't look bad. Be careful or I'll really have to marry you to him!"
She was not like Young Master Song, who was proficient in Chinese culture. She spent most of her time studying abroad. If it were not for the fact that the Song family had always maintained Chinese traditions, they would have been completely westernized.
"Miss, that's not what I meant …" Zi Yun looked at Young Master Qiu with a pleading look.
"Can you order a plate of fried rice for me?" Luoqiu said casually, "I don't think I'm full … Hmm, let's see what Song Ying likes to eat. She didn't eat much just now."
"Right away!" Zi Yun walked out of the door quickly as if she had been granted amnesty.
Song Ying glared at Luoqiu unhappily. Boss Luo smiled and said, "By the way, how have Grandpa and Song Haoran been doing recently? Can you tell me about them?"
Song Ying shook her head and said coquettishly, "You're so good at changing topics!"
She sighed again. "Forget it, I won't argue with you! Come here, I'll tell you about Grandpa and Song Haoran. "
They ate lunch for more than an hour before they left the club. Song Ying wanted to give Luoqiu a ride, but she was rejected.
Therefore, Miss Ying's dissatisfaction finally exploded in the car. She looked at Zi Yun and said, "Zi Yun, from today onwards, you're forbidden from watching TV!"
"Miss, you'd better marry me off …"
…
…
Night, Austin Pharmaceuticals.
Jimmy walked quickly in the corridor. The security guards who passed by would greet him respectfully when they saw him … until he arrived at Mr. House's office.
Other than Mr. House, there were two doctors and three nurses … Mr. House's arm was still hooked up to an IV drip.
Mr. House seemed to have been waiting for a while and was resting with his eyes closed.
Jimmy looked around the office before walking to Mr. House. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, boss. I was delayed by something."
Mr. House slowly opened his eyes and looked at Jimmy in surprise. He then nodded and waved his hand to let the doctor pull out the needle.
After that, the doctors and nurses packed up and left silently.
Jimmy said, "Boss, your body …"
Mr. House shook his head and stood up with his crutches. He ordered Jimmy to lock the office door — when Jimmy locked the door, he heard a strange sound behind him.
The display cabinet on the wall was separated from the middle … There was a secret room in the office.
Jimmy's expression didn't change as he walked to Mr. House's side.
Mr. House sighed slowly and said casually, "Come in with me to see the progress."
After the two of them walked into the secret passage, the display cabinet slowly moved and finally closed … But soon, a dark red mark suddenly appeared on the locked door of the office.
The mark flashed and disappeared. The next moment, the door lock opened automatically.
After that, a woman wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, with a silver eye mask covering the upper half of her face, quickly walked in.
After the woman came in, she looked around suspiciously and then fixed her gaze on the display cabinet … She came to the front of the cabinet and pondered for a moment. Then, she stretched out her finger and traced a dark red mark on the edge of the cabinet, similar to the one on the door lock.
"Open it."
The woman said softly.
…
After passing through a short passageway, there was an iron staircase. Jimmy kept supporting Mr. House, and soon they arrived at an open space.
As far as the eye could see, it was the size of a basketball court … Jimmy saw many strong men with weapons. They were not only stationed at the entrance, but also in front of many other passages that led here.
There were all kinds of instruments and many researchers in white robes shuttling back and forth.
In the center of this huge space, there was a huge prototype container with a pedestal.
At this moment, a foreign man in his fifties came to Mr. House with a man and a woman.
"I'm here to see him," Mr. House said directly.
The person nodded at Mr. House and then nodded at Jimmy as a form of greeting. He took Jimmy's place and supported Mr. House as they walked towards the huge container.
"When will it be done?"
Mr. House suddenly asked as they got closer.
The man said slowly, "Soon. The equation you sent me is indeed the part we've been missing all this time. We can do the final test tomorrow. "
Mr. House suddenly seemed to be in better spirits than ever before. He walked quickly to the container and even dropped his crutch on the ground.
In front of the container, a young man saw Mr. House coming and pressed a button on a control panel on the container.
In front of the sealed container, a one-foot-long shell slowly opened.
Jimmy's eyes narrowed slightly.
Through the glass at the opening of the container, he could see a light green color inside … He could even see a human face through this small opening.
It was vaguely similar to Mr. House's face …
He seemed to be in a deep sleep. There was a feeding device in his mouth and nose.
Mr. House's hand trembled slightly as he caressed this small mirror as if caressing a treasure. "Soon, soon …"
At this moment, an extremely shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the sealed space.
"Someone has broken in!"
