Chapter 164 Generous Donation by Ms. Shen (Cheng Yubai)
Shen Zhaoyi glanced at the time.

At this point, there probably isn't any extra time available.

After all, he had already agreed to Su Ye's request.

She simply couldn't bring herself to video chat with one person and then have a voice call with another.

"Not today."

"next time."

A barely audible sigh came from the other end of the phone, but Mu Mu quickly composed herself.

After being rejected multiple times, he had gradually gotten used to it.

She gave a self-comforting smile. "Sister, I'll ask you again when you have time next time?"

"Row."

"Goodnight to my sister in advance~"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhaoyi stared blankly at the darkened screen for a while.

Although Mu Mu's attitude changed drastically, she had to admit that this obedient and sensible attitude was more endearing than before.

At 11 o'clock, the usual time for a live chat, Su Ye sent a video call instead.

In fact, the two of them rarely use this function.

Most of the time, it's all voice.

Pressing the answer button, Su Ye's face appeared on the screen.

The footage shows that he is in his new house, but it looks a little different from when he last went there.

"You redecorated the house?"

"Hmm." Su Ye turned the phone camera around. "I wasn't busy a while ago, so I changed the layout a bit when I came back on the weekend."

The image slowly moves.

Shen Zhaoyi then noticed that the originally empty balcony had been transformed into a semi-open gym.

"Wow—" she couldn't help but exclaim, "How did you suddenly become so disciplined?"

Su Ye's answer was: "I want to become better."

Although the words were not explicitly stated, Shen Zhaoyi understood.

"Then you must keep up the good work!"

Su Ye on the other end of the screen chuckled and replied, "Yes, sir."

A good night's sleep.

I thought I would spend the next few days playing games during the day and voting for the awards ceremony at night.

But to my surprise, Cheng Yubai came knocking again just two days later.

Not in the literal sense.

But -

What is your home address?

Shen Zhaoyi had just woken up and saw the message with her eyes half-closed, instantly becoming more and more awake.

He asked him warily what he wanted to do.

The response was even more "horrifying".

Cheng Yubai: [Offering himself as a bedmate.]

The four words left Shen Zhaoyi speechless.

She kept refreshing the screen, trying to wait for the other party to retract their message or offer an explanation, but after waiting for a long time, those four words remained hanging alone in the chat box.

Shen Zhaoyi's fingertip hovered above the screen, momentarily at a loss for how to reply.

Is this person crazy?
She didn't take his words seriously, but felt that Cheng Yubai's joke was a bit excessive.

After waiting quite a while, I finally received a message from the other party: "Looks like I really have no chance?"

Shen Zhaoyi remained silent.

[Let’s get down to business. 】

Cheng Yubai then calmed down and changed the subject to the project.

Then, several messages flooded in:

The machine that was supposed to be replaced last time has been reactivated, and all data is working normally.

[This is all thanks to your generous funding; the experiment has been able to proceed so smoothly.]

Director Zhao specially made this banner and asked me to give it to you.

Shen Zhaoyi felt that she was still a little sleepy this morning.

she repeated.

[A banner?]

Isn't that unnecessary...?

Cheng Yubai, however, only said that he was a messenger and suggested that Shen Zhaoyi contact Director Zhao instead.

but--

He's over fifty years old and has dedicated his entire life to medical research; he'll be retiring in a few years.

This project is the culmination of his life's work, and now that it's finally showing signs of a breakthrough, he genuinely wants to thank you. Can you really bear to refuse his heartfelt thanks?

Shen Zhaoyi really wanted to say, "You have to be heartless."

But I was also curious about that banner.

She'd received all sorts of gifts before, but this was the first time she'd ever received one.

With a sigh, he finally sent over the villa's address.

Cheng Yubai got his wish and arrived in an hour.

Shen Zhaoyi really wanted to ask, "Is your project team not busy anymore?"

But it also feels unnecessary.

She was still lying in bed, disheveled and dirty, and needed to get up and tidy herself up.

Moreover, Cheng Yubai cannot enter the residential area; someone needs to go to the gate to pick him up.

Finally, this important task was handed over to Zhou Yi. He even asked whether it was necessary to register the license plate of this "Mr. Cheng" in the system.

Shen Zhaoyi's words of refusal were sent out even faster than her brain could process them.

【Need not!】

What a joke! Cheng Yubai is clearly not normal. If we really give him this favor, he'll definitely be a regular here from now on.

As for the agreed-upon hour, it was exactly as scheduled.

Shen Zhaoyi was having her late breakfast in the restaurant when she heard the sound of cars turning off one after another in the courtyard.

Xu Meng had already peeked out.

She knew that guests were coming to her house again today, and judging from her boss's tone, they were obviously people she had never met before.

I couldn't help but feel a little curious.

The villa's gate was tightly closed because the air conditioning was on, but after a short while, it was opened from the outside.

Just as Xu Meng was ready, she saw Zhou Yi enter.

She almost sank to her death.

Then, Zhou Yi took a few steps forward, making room for the person behind him.

A tall, slender figure blocked the light from the doorway.

The man strode closer, his gleaming leather shoes making a soft sound as they stepped onto the marble floor.

Xu Meng's gaze moved upwards from the other person's straight trouser legs.

The shock Cheng Yubai's face gave her was no less than that of Su Ye from the previous two days.

In particular, this one also exudes a sense of asceticism.

Wearing a shirt, trousers, and a slicked-back hairstyle, he also wore a suit vest over the hot weather, which perfectly accentuated his waistline.

Xu Meng suddenly recalled Shen Zhaoyi's previous criticism of her as "pretentious."

Could it be the person in front of me?

Just as they were beginning to have their doubts, they saw that the other party had already locked onto their target and was walking towards the restaurant.

At this moment, Xu Meng noticed that he was holding a long tube in his hand, his large, well-defined hand holding it like a handbag.

Shen Zhaoyi didn't even get up, intending to signal Cheng Yubai that he could leave after putting the things down.

But she clearly underestimated this man's perverse sense of humor.

Cheng Yubai walked up to her without stopping, unscrewed the cap on the long tube, poured out the rolled-up banner, and gave it a shake.

"Wow--"

The fabric, embossed with gold and set against a red background, was stretched out, instantly revealing two lines of large characters to everyone—

"Skilled hands and a kind heart to save lives, generous donations to support research."

—To Ms. Shen Zhaoyi

The signature is Zhao Yide from the Municipal Institute of Medical Research.

Shen Zhaoyi paused in mid-air, the spoon she was using to scoop porridge: "Is this also what Director Zhao thought?"

Cheng Yubai leaned close to her ear, one hand supporting himself on the back of the chair.

"What do you think."

He was standing too close; the faint scent of cedarwood mingled with a hint of disinfectant.

Shen Zhaoyi turned her head away: "No matter who it is, I appreciate the sentiment. The lab must be quite busy, you should go back early."

Despite the blatant attempt to kick him out, Cheng Yubai seemed oblivious.

"I'm taking a break today."

"so what?"

small theater:
Lunchtime after the project experiment ended.

Cheng Yubai: Director Zhao, Miss Shen is so generous, shouldn't we do something in return?

Director Zhao: Well, Xiaobai, you're familiar with her, do you have any good suggestions?
Cheng Yubai took out his phone and showed the banner to the order form.

"I think that sending it in the director's name is the only way to represent our entire team."

Director Zhao: Good lad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!
