1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 255 Are you sure this is what you want?

Du Yuelan was stunned for a few seconds; she hadn't expected to hear such a "formal" reason.

Gu Shuchen wasn't lying; he simply had actively sought out this job.

Seeing Du Yuelan's expression gradually soften, he finally stopped sweating and his panicked heartbeat returned to normal.

Half an hour ago, he went to the restroom and unexpectedly ran into Lu Youyou. Without thinking, he blocked her way.

The previous times they had only managed to catch a glimpse of each other from afar, but today he finally had the chance, yet suddenly he was overwhelmed with worries and couldn't utter a single word.

Just looking at each other exhausted all his strength.

The cold, emotionless gaze seemed to be directed at someone who wasn't alive.

Even so, Gu Shuchen remained in a daze for a long time.

If Lu Youyou of Qiaoshan Village is a flower bud about to bloom, then nothing can now obscure her beauty.

Gu Shuchen couldn't describe it; he only felt that she wasn't standing on flat ground, but rather looking down at him from a mountaintop.

Lu Youyou didn't actually notice Gu Shuchen's presence at first. Half of her mind was on the experimental data of seawater desalination, and the other half was on the presentation report at the agricultural university discussion meeting that afternoon.

A dark shadow suddenly flashed past her eyes. She frowned and looked up. Why was it Gu Shuchen again?
Lu Youyou had no time to deal with the scumbag; her CPU was running at high speed, and the sudden appearance of this person was like an annoying bug falling from the sky.

The bug was about to be eliminated, so Lu Youyou automatically removed the obstacle from her sight and continued on her way, ignoring it.

Gu Shuchen had so much to say. He even wanted to tell Lu Youyou that from now on, they should each go their own way and not interfere with each other.

But when the two of them got close enough that he could faintly smell Lu Youyou's fragrance, that string in his mind shamefully trembled again.

He was reluctant to admit it, but from the first time he met Lu Youyou three years ago until now, he could never forget her.

What you can't have, you can't forget; what you can't forget, you can't forget even more.

Now that Lu Youyou is becoming more and more breathtakingly beautiful, the evil thoughts in her heart are uncontrollably emerging.

Only the thought of a smooth and successful life in the second half of one's life can resist certain vulgar impulses.

"deer……"

Just as Gu Shuchen opened his mouth, a slightly familiar figure came into his line of sight in the distance. He suddenly turned around and walked in another direction without saying another word.

That was Du Yuelan's classmate; they had met before, and the girl knew who he was.

He cannot allow anyone to see him having any contact with Lu Youyou until the crisis is over.

He inexplicably blocked her way and then inexplicably disappeared. Lu Youyou treated Gu Shuchen as nothing more than a speck of dust and didn't take him seriously at all.

He's a scumbag with countless dirty tricks against him, so he's not a threat at all.

"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Hey, Gu Shuchen!!"

Du Yuelan pushed hard twice, interrupting Gu Shuchen's brief reminiscence.

The image in his mind was overshadowed by the real person before him. Before Du Yuelan could grow impatient, Gu Shuchen continued with his prepared explanation—

50% is the truth, the other 50% is all obfuscation, which is inconvenient to say.

Du Yuelan was indeed all show and no substance. She believed most of Gu Shuchen's explanation, but her spoiled nature remained. She not only wanted to hear his explanation, but also wanted to see his actions.

"Fine, if you say you're not interested in her, I'll believe you if you do one thing for me: I want Lu Youyou to be embarrassed in front of others!"

Du Yuelan could simply make her demands, and if Gu Shuchen could meet them, she would generously forgive him.

Gu Shuchen felt a chill run down his spine; he dared not agree nor refuse.

He was filled with sinister thoughts, and the moment he thought about using them on Lu Youyou, Gu Qingye's face immediately appeared before his eyes. It was as if Gu Qingye was standing right in front of him, pointing a gun at his head.

Gu Qingye is a soldier, and that alone is enough to make him hesitate.

His mind raced, and he quickly came up with another idea.

He was an ordinary citizen, but Du Yuelan was not. What he couldn't do was perhaps just a simple task for Du Yuelan.

"Lanlan, have you ever thought about it? It's easy to embarrass someone, but what impact does it have on her? At worst, she'll just lose face, it won't hurt her at all."

Du Yuelan looked at him thoughtfully: "What do you mean?"

"If you just want to see her humiliated, there are plenty of ways. Lanlan, are you sure this is what you want?"

Gu Shuchen himself didn't say anything, but instead kept tempting Du Yuelan's evil thoughts.

If he can resolve his worries through Du Yuelan's help, his future will be bright.

He can cheer and applaud, but he absolutely cannot be the one charging into battle.

Du Yuelan was an impulsive person. She never considered the consequences of her actions because nothing she had ever done since childhood had caused her to suffer any consequences.

She was already in a bad mood after being scolded by Du Guanghan at home, and Gu Shuchen's few words only fueled her anger.

Yes, just losing face isn't enough. It would be a shame not to ruin Lu Youyou's reputation after all the temper she's thrown these past few days!

Lu Youyou's speech at the project discussion meeting pleased Lü Guangfu greatly.

The two stayed a while after the meeting, and got so engrossed in their discussion that they lost track of time. When they left, it was almost dusk.

"Comrade Xiaolu, your idea is very interesting. How about this, you focus on this from now on. We won't force the result. Even if we only make a small step forward, it will be an unprecedented and huge breakthrough."

Scientific research relies not only on accumulating human and material resources, but more importantly, on flashes of inspiration.

Although the project team had limited resources, Lü Guangfu was bold enough and willing to try. Since Lu Youyou had an idea, she should go ahead and give it a try.

Lu Youyou originally thought that if Lü Guangfu didn't approve, she would go back and discuss it with Dean Qian, but she didn't expect Lü Guangfu to agree so easily.

Lu Youyou smiled and said, "It's perfect to follow up on our group's recent experiment. I have a feeling it should work."

The leader was generous and open-minded, and she was equally willing to offer reassurance.

Lu Guangfu clapped his hands and laughed: "I knew Lu Fang had been grinning like an idiot every day lately, showing his big teeth. That kid's got a tight tongue!"

A while ago, a personnel adjustment was made, and Lu Youyou, Lu Fang, and others formed a new group. Not long after, they received a new surprise. Lu Guangfu silently applauded his wise decision.

“Just follow your plan. If you encounter any problems, feel free to communicate with me,” Lü Guangfu said with a smile.

As Lu Youyou came out of the office, several heads peeked out from around the corner.

Lu Fang clenched his fist secretly, his eyes gleaming with an alarming light: "How is it?"

"It's done."

Several restrained gasps rang out, and everyone, including Lu Fang, could not hide their joy, except for Lu Youyou, who remained relatively calm.

"Everyone, go back and organize your thoughts today, and we'll officially begin tomorrow."

When Lu Youyou spoke, no one objected.

The group returned to the lab, packed their things, and then left together.

Lu Youyou checked all the equipment and all the locked places before leaving last.

Since the false accusation incident, these procedures have become routine; not only are they checked, but they are also marked.

The markings she made were specially designed after consulting Gu Qingye; they were for special use only and guaranteed to be discreet and effective.
