Lu Chen sighed, "You're being disobedient again, aren't you?"
He tried to pry Guo Fuyun's hands off his waist. Fuyun clung on tightly, even wrapping her legs around Lu Chen. Soon, Lu Chen felt a damp, warm sensation on his back.
Then, he heard Guo Fuyun crying.
"Hey... don't cry! Let's talk this out!" Lu Chen cried urgently.
Guo Fuyun sobbed, "A man shouldn't make a woman cry."
Lu Chen gave in, "Fine, fine, I won't let you cry!"
He sighed again. It seemed he'd be sleeping in Guo Fuyun's arms tonight. There was no way around it. Lu Chen knew she was a cold-looking girl with a stubborn heart; getting her to cry was difficult. Even if she cried, she'd hide away and cry alone. And now? How many times had she cried this night?
Lu Chen felt guilty, so he decided to just sleep with her in his arms.
Luckily, Shen Tian had been wise enough to use her cherry-like lips to help him resolve the issue in the bathroom earlier. Otherwise, things would definitely be a perfect storm.
After all, even though Guo Fuyun was young, she was still a mature sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
So, Lu Chen could only let Guo Fuyun hold him as a form of comfort. However, to his surprise, just as he was drifting off to sleep, another delicate body snuggled into his arms.
Lu Chen jolted awake, and in the darkness, he caught a whiff of her delicate fragrance. He couldn't help but smile wryly, "Lingling, you… why are you joining in too?"
It was Du Haoling.
She gave a soft "hmm," said nothing, and squeezed herself into Lu Chen's arms, joining Guo Fuyun in a pincer movement, holding him tightly.
Lingling's substantial softness was truly suffocating Lu Chen.
He was like a sandwich.
With Guo Fuyun setting the precedent, Lu Chen didn't know how to refuse Du Haoling. He couldn't possibly favor one over the other, could he?
So, when Shen Tian came out of the bedroom the next morning, she was stunned by what she saw, then didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lu Chen was fast asleep on Du Haoling's chest, while Guo Fuyun, for some reason, had moved to the other side, one of her delicate little feet resting on the back of Lu Chen's head…
For the next two days, Lu Chen stayed at Flying Eagle Biotechnology. He was very busy, very busy, starting to figure out how to create the kind of medicinal patch for Master Saizhi that could nourish and unblock the heart with internal energy.
The basic principle was the "Sperm-Strengthening and Vital Energy-Protecting Patch" developed by Flying Eagle Biotechnology, which promoted the generation of vital energy in the body through electromagnetic action, thus strengthening the body. Lu Chen added a trace of his own internal energy to it, essentially integrating external force with internal energy, resulting in a better health-preserving effect.
However, it was a different story when it came to regulating the heart.
After all, the heart is the central nervous system, equivalent to a more sophisticated instrument, requiring more meticulous adjustments.
In this respect, the Divine Healer's abilities were truly of little help. It was like an ancient divine physician, highly skilled in traditional medicine, but limited in high-tech medicine, at most able to offer some ideas.
Fortunately, Lu Chen had been exposed to a lot of high technology at the company recently. Since acquiring the Seven Life Flowers, he seemed to have become much more perceptive and intelligent, easily able to apply his knowledge to new situations, and thus had mastered many sophisticated instruments.
He took several boxes of the Essence-Strengthening and Vitality-Protecting Plaster and went into a high-level laboratory, spending two whole days there, having his meals brought in, diligently studying the contraption that could provide energy to his fragile heart.
This was the first time Shangguan Bei had seen her research director working so hard. Although she didn't know what he was up to, she arranged for exceptionally attentive service to ensure Director Lu could focus on his work without worry.
Two days later, Lu Chen smiled happily.
Although it was difficult, he had finally succeeded.
Based on the electromagnetic principles of the "Serious Essence Protection Patch," Lu Chen and his medical genius used no fewer than a hundred methods to fine-tune its application to the heart. Based on the heart rate and pumping speed, they applied the Six Harmonies principle from traditional Chinese medicine, creating a miraculous patch that first massaged and unblocked the heart before infusing it with internal energy.
Lu Chen excitedly named it the "Six Harmonies Dragon Soaring Heart-Protecting Patch."
"Six Harmonies" refers to generating electromagnetic propulsion within a suitable enclosed space for the heart, massaging it and laying the foundation for the delivery of internal energy. "Dragon Soaring" refers to the internal energy's effect within the heart.
Lu Chen applied the Six Harmonies Dragon Soaring Heart-Protecting Patch he had just made to his chest. Soon, his body temperature activated the electromagnetic gate, and the patch began to work. Then, Lu Chen felt a gentle yet abundant energy flow into his heart, making it beat stronger and more steadily.
With the pumping action of his heart, after a while, Lu Chen felt full of energy, and his mind became much clearer.
This made Lu Chen tremble with excitement. He realized that he might have invented something truly remarkable and commercially valuable.
This Six Harmonies Dragon Soaring Heart-Protecting Patch clearly had many applications. For various heart conditions, for near-death experiences, for deep-sea and high-altitude operations… and so on.
Of course, to apply it to those specific areas, extensive clinical trials were needed. However, the most basic and crucial foundation had been laid; everything else would be manageable. At least, it was perfectly suitable for use on Master Seji.
Leaving the laboratory, Lu Chen felt incredibly exhilarated.
However, he wanted to think about it a little longer, to streamline the key aspects that aligned with market promotion, before discussing it with Shangguan Bei. Until then, he decided to keep it a secret.
Lu Chen stretched and then went to inspect the various experimental units, one of his routine duties.
He had been the research director at Flying Eagle Biotechnology for over three months. Everyone in the company, from the gray-haired senior scholars to the energetic youngsters, respected Lu Chen greatly. They even considered it an honor to receive his guidance. After all, Lu Chen could often save a research team a lot of trouble with just a few words.
Especially the several medical projects he led, which achieved good profits in a short period after entering the market, which was truly impressive.
Therefore, everyone was very enthusiastic when Lu Chen arrived, cheerfully calling him "Director Lu." They acted as if a high-ranking leader had arrived. Lu Chen also felt a sense of accomplishment, having helped everyone solve some problems.
At this very moment, in a luxurious office, a face twisted with jealousy stared intently at Lu Chen in the research hall through the glass window. He suddenly uttered a chilling voice: "He's out. Get ready."
These words were spoken to Du Haoqi, who stood beside him.
Du Haoqi's stunningly beautiful oval face was pale, and her full, voluptuous, and exceptionally alluring body trembled slightly. Her eyes held a hint of confusion: "Bihua, you really want to make me…you really want to do that?"
A sudden, violent glint flashed across Ouyang Bihua's face. He abruptly reached out, grabbed Du Haoqi's hair, and yanked her violently. Du Haoqi screamed, her body swaying as she fell into Ouyang Bihua's arms.
Ouyang Bihua gripped her hair tightly, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "You must help me complete this mission. My position at Flying Eagle Bio depends entirely on this. If you mess this up, I won't let you off!"
Du Haoqi painfully grasped his hand, nodding repeatedly, "Bihua, I'll listen to you... I'll listen to you."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but cry. Not from the pain, but from the bitterness in her heart.
Ouyang Bihua softened his tone, "Haoqi, I didn't want this either... I really didn't want this. You're my woman. How could I want my woman to give her body to that bastard Lu Chen! But you have to help me, I'm counting on you, you'll always be my good woman..." As he spoke, the hand gripping Du Haoqi's hair cupped her face, which had gone from cold and beautiful to tragically beautiful.
Then, a passionate kiss ensued.
Ouyang Bihua's kiss was very passionate. If he had kissed Du Haoqi like this before, she would have reacted very strongly. This time, however, her heart felt icy cold, as if she had sunk into an abyss.
Lu Chen strolled around the research hall and then returned to his office. His office was near Shangguan Bei's, but she wasn't there.
Just now, Lu Chen had seen her in the medicinal herb plantation, whispering with a group of people, presumably researching the development of a newly planted medicinal herb.
Lu Chen had also contributed to this; he had suggested adding some new medicinal herbs to existing medicinal herb projects, and after clinical trials, they had shown significant improvement.
So, Shangguan Bei began planting these herbs in the plantation.
After wandering around the research hall, Lu Chen was a little tired. He sat down in his executive chair and casually opened the company-issued Alienware laptop. This type of laptop was considered top-of-the-line among commercially available laptops, costing around 50,000 yuan.
However, it was a bit of a waste for Lu Chen; this kind of laptop was originally for gaming, and he no longer played games. However, there was nothing he could do about it; after all, he was the research director.
His position spoke for itself!
Lu Chen browsed the news for a while, then heard a soft knock on the door.
He reached out and pressed a small doorbell on the corner of the table. This kind of doorbell was a convenient feature for Lu Chen to decide whether to let anyone in after hearing a knock. Pressing it let the person outside know they could come in.
A melodious tune played at the door, and then the door opened.
Lu Chen's eyes lit up instantly. My goodness!
The woman who entered was the stunning beauty that had captivated Lu Chen—Du Haoqi.
This icy beauty wasn't wearing a white lab coat; instead, she wore a tight-fitting three-quarter skirt and a sleeveless, tight-fitting cover-up for work. The cover-up was made of a thin material that clung tightly to Du Haoqi's incredibly voluptuous upper body, making her walk a truly breathtaking sight.
Coupled with her icy expression, it was almost intoxicating for Lu Chen.
