What made Chen Huan happy was that she had been booked in business class. This had never happened before. She thought that the Americans must have paid for the ticket. It was midnight in the United States when the plane landed. She saw her name when she walked out of the airport.
"Hello!" Chen Huan pointed at the plate. "I'm Chen Huan."
It was a young American. He exclaimed exaggeratedly when he saw her, "Oh, you're Chen Huan? You're so beautiful! "
"Haha, thank you!" Chen Huan did not know what to say.
"Ah, sorry, I'm Vincent!" He hugged Chen Huan. "Welcome to the United States!"
The car was waiting outside. Vincent waited for Chen Huan to fasten her seatbelt before he started the car. "I'll be in charge of your stay in the United States." Seeing Chen Huan looking at him, Vincent added, "I'm also a researcher in the Nuwa Project!"
"Nuwa Project?" Chen Huan asked curiously. "What's that?"
Vincent smiled. "You'll know when the time comes. By the way, we think it's inconvenient to stay in a hotel, so we rented a house not far from the research institute for you. "
Chen Huan knew that she would be staying for a long time. She thanked him politely. "Thank you. At least I can cook for myself!"
"Haha, don't be so polite. From now on, we're colleagues." Vincent saw that she was in good spirits and started to introduce the research institute to Chen Huan.
It turned out that although they belonged to the government, they also received support from other financial groups. Of course, they would not spend money for nothing. Usually, they would need to study some strange things when there was a good deal.
"This time, a global oil company paid for it. Come to the research institute at 2 p.m. tomorrow. We'll tell you the details." Vincent parked the car slowly by the side of the road. "We're here!"
Chen Huan had been observing the surroundings since they arrived. It was a street with a good environment. There were more than a dozen villas of different sizes. The small white building in front of her was in the middle. It was very beautiful.
"Don't be afraid. The security in this area is very good. The research institute is on the next street. It'll only take you 20 minutes to walk there!" Vincent helped her carry her luggage into the room. "How is it?"
Chen Huan looked at it. "Very good. I'm very satisfied!"
"Okay. Rest early. I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon." Vincent winked at her. "I'll say it again. You're a beautiful Asian doll! When I think about working with you in the future, I won't be able to sleep tonight! "
Although Chen Huan was not used to such enthusiasm, she could see Vincent's sincerity, so she smiled and sent him out. "Then you'd better get used to it. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep every day. That would be terrible!"
"Hahahaha!" Vincent started the car. "Goodbye, cute doll!"
Chen Huan checked the door and all the windows, then went upstairs to pack her luggage. Due to the time difference, she could not fall asleep. Initially, she wanted to give Boss Wan a call, but when she looked at the time, she decided to send him a text instead.
Who knew that as soon as she sent the message, her phone would ring.
"Hey! Did I wake you up? "she asked embarrassedly. It was four o 'clock in the morning over there.
Boss Wan's voice did not sound like he had been woken up at all. "No. It's just twelve o'clock in the middle of the night here."
"12 o 'clock?" Chen Huan was surprised. "Why is it the same as in the US? Where are you? "
"I'm overseas." Boss Wan was obviously smiling. "Once I'm done with my business, I'll head over to see you."
Chen Huan quickly said, "No, no, no. I don't know what's going on here! We'll talk about it when everything goes smoothly. "
"Are you staying in a hotel?" Boss Wan changed the subject.
"No. They arranged a small villa for me. I have to say, it's not bad!" Chen Huan lay on the bed and swayed a little. "The bed is soft too."
Boss Wan grunted. "Did you miss me today?"
"What?" Chen Huan denied with a smile. "We just talked on the phone before we boarded the plane. What am I missing?"
"But I missed you." The man's voice suddenly turned very sexy. "I wanted to hug you. I wanted to kiss you. Then, I wanted to take off your clothes. I..."
Chen Huan jumped up in exasperation. "Shut up! Stop talking! "
"Alright." Boss Wan paused. "I'll owe you for now. I'll help you take off your clothes later."
"Stop talking!" Chen Huan shouted. "I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep!"
Boss Wan smiled. "Alright. Go to sleep!"
The beeping sound came from the phone. Only then did Chen Huan realize that Boss Wan had hung up. She stared at the phone suspiciously for a few seconds. Usually, Boss Wan would not allow her to hang up. He would wait until she fell asleep before hanging up.
Why was he so quick today...
Chen Huan woke up early in the morning. She wanted to go to the supermarket at the end of the street to buy some daily necessities and some ingredients for cooking. When she came out of the supermarket, she found a Chinese restaurant. So, she ate some fried rice before returning home.
By the time Vincent came to pick her up, the house had been cleaned up and looked more like a home.
"Oh! You're so punctual! "Vincent shouted from the car.
Chen Huan stood by the roadside. "Stay here. I'll open the door myself!"
After getting into the car, Vincent looked her up and down. "Are you wearing ancient Chinese clothes?"
“NO！” Chen Huan laughed. "This is called a Tang suit. Well, according to your understanding, it's a modified version of ancient clothes."
Since she was going abroad, she had purposely brought this style with her. Today, she wore a light green dress. Her top was a white short-sleeved shirt with a Chinese collar and buttons. Even her hair was specially coiled up and inserted with an emerald green hairpin.
"So beautiful!" Vincent was very excited. "I think the oriental culture is very charming. Look! Even your clothes are so beautiful! "
Chen Huan took out a small fish woven with colorful thread from her bag. "Here's a little gift for you."
"Oh!" Vincent took it happily. "Thank you! I know the meaning of the fish. It's the same as Gong Xi Fa Cai! "
"Hahaha!" Chen Huan nodded. "Yes, yes, it's the same."
If she could work with such colleagues in the future, it would indeed be a pleasant thing.
"Here we are!" Vincent parked the car.
Chen Huan was a little surprised. It was a building with dozens of floors.
"This is the Global Oil Company." Vincent led her into the building. "Because they funded this time, the whole experiment will be conducted on the top floor." He pointed at the work pass on his chest. "I'll get you one later. Otherwise, you won't be able to get in the elevator."
The elevator went up to the 69th floor. When the door opened, two men stood there.
"Mr. Riley!" Vincent welcomed Chen Huan in. "This is Miss Chen from China."
Riley was an old man in his fifties. He hugged Chen Huan seriously. "Nice to meet you, Miss Chen!"
"Me too." Chen Huan nodded. "Just call me Chen Huan."
The other man was in his thirties. He wore glasses and smiled gently at Chen Huan. "I'm Puli. Nice to meet you!"
"Hello!" Chen Huan returned a polite smile.
Riley clapped his hands. "Then let's not waste time. The representative of the Global Oil Company will come later. Let's talk about the Nuwa project now."
"Okay." Chen Huan quickly followed them into a small conference room.
Puli opened the slide. It was a picture of the sea.
"This is the south coast of the Pacific Ocean." He glanced at Chen Huan. Chen Huan nodded. "It's connected to my country."
The slide changed. It was a submarine building. Puli pressed a few buttons. "This was found at the bottom of the sea. From the picture, you should be able to see that the building is not small."
"Did you find anything inside?"
Vincent laughed and said, "Look! What a smart China girl. She guessed it before I said anything. "
It was so obvious … Chen Huan complained in her mind. Did you show me those pictures just for sightseeing?
"Three months ago, the Global Oil Company accidentally found this submarine building. They saw this from inside." The slide flashed. A stone statue with a human head and a snake's body appeared on the picture. The statue was holding a black box in both hands.
"They brought the box back." Puli pressed the next slide. This time, Chen Huan clearly saw the black box. It was obviously made of wood.
Riley handed her the file. "The box is made of agarwood, which is unique to your country. When we brought it back, it was locked. It took us a lot of effort to open it without breaking it."
"It's a woman's thing." Chen Huan looked at the picture on the slide. She lowered her head and read the file carefully. "This is a rouge commonly used in ancient times."
Puli nodded. "We found a kind of poison in the rouge."
"Poison?" Chen Huan frowned. "Have you done any experiments?"
Vincent turned a few pages for her. "We smeared some on animals. The result …"
"I see." Chen Huan closed the file. The picture on it was too disgusting.
Riley, who had been silent, looked at her. "We know that Miss Chen is very knowledgeable about drugs. We hope that you can find out what kind of poison it is."
"You should have already done experiments. What are the results?"
Vincent shook his head. "We have analyzed millions of known poisons on Earth with computers. None of them are the same."
"Your Chinese medicine is amazing!" Puli interrupted. "That's why we want to study it together."
Chen Huan raised her eyebrows. "I see! When will it start? "
"Don't worry. It's said that in addition to the Global Oil Company, there's also a businessman sponsoring this project. He's also the one who proposed to let Hua participate." Riley looked at the time. "We'll meet with them later and talk about the details …" The old man coughed.
Vincent grinned and said, "You know, money!"
A staff member popped his head out of the door. "Mr. Riley, they're here!"
"Bring them here!" Riley straightened his tie and stood up.
Chen Huan saw that Vincent and Puli were also standing straight. She quickly stood behind them with a serious look on her face.
A woman walked in through the door. Her high heels made a clicking sound. Chen Huan stole a glance at her and was stunned.
Who could tell her why the person standing next to that woman …
It was Boss Wan …
