Chapter Twenty-Three: The Half-Sister
"Hey, Xiao Chen, it's me. I heard that there was a disturbance outside the store?" Han Meijuan stood at the door of the private room of the Cantonese Cuisine Mansion with a phone in one hand.
After ordering the food, she excused herself from answering the customer's phone and walked out of the private room to call the store.
"Uh-huh. Okay, it's fine. Listening to the description of the clerk Xiao Chen on the other end of the phone, she secretly laughed in her heart, there is really everyone in this world.
As soon as Han Meijuan got up to leave, Sun Shaowei looked in the direction of the door, with a deep meaning in his smile, and asked Chi Ming: "Who is she? is your girlfriend?"
"No, she's ......" Chi Ming hesitated and shook his head.
I have to give Sun Shaowei an explanation, after all, the two were friends who talked about everything in college, and they would work together for a period of time in the future, and it was impossible not to say a word about the changes that had occurred over the years.
Chi Ming took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "Meijuan is my sister. ”
"Sister, hah, are you a sworn prayer? You are obviously the only child in the family, so please tease me. Sun Shaowei waved his hand, when he was joking.
"I mean really, she's my half-sister. Chi Ming looked him straight in the eye.
"Half-father?" Sun Shaowei half-opened his mouth, stunned for a few seconds, and then seemed to understand something, and said in a comforting tone: "I understand, there are many rights and wrongs of wealthy families, and you and your father must have suffered a lot of blows." ”
"Meijuan has nothing to do with them. I...... It's just the adopted son of the Mu family, and I have left the Mu family and disconnected from my adoptive parents. Meijuan is my biological mother's daughter and my only relative now. There was no trace of turbulence in Chi Ming's expression, as calm as if he was narrating the TV series he had just finished watching last night.
Sun Shaowei was completely stunned, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth jumped slightly. Adopted son, leave the Mu family! This is the reason why he changed his name and surname? He remembered Mu Yuanhang, Chi Ming's so-called "adoptive father", and an entrepreneur who killed and made decisions in the eyes of others.
When he was in college, he visited the Mu family's villa in the western suburbs and was warmly welcomed by Mu Yuanhang and his wife. He couldn't imagine that the almost perfect family of three, which was envied by everyone, could have such a bizarre story.
"But even if you are not Uncle Mu's biological son, you won't be disassociated from them, they love you no less than ......"
"Well, this is my private matter, I don't want to talk about it. Chi Ming interrupted Sun Shaowei's words, and he didn't want to talk more about that embarrassing past.
Sun Shaowei's expression froze, he just cared about him, and he was somewhat unhappy when he was interrupted so simply and rudely.
The room was quietly littered, and the originally harmonious atmosphere fell into awkwardness.
It happened that Han Meijuan pushed the door in, and seeing the strange expressions of the two, she asked with a smile: "Brother, what are you talking about, is there a world energy crisis?" ”
Sun Shaowei's gaze swept back and forth over the faces of the brother and sister. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the more they look at it, the more similar they become.
"It's all about work. Shao Wei, can I go to work tomorrow?" Chi Ming naturally changed his words, and the lines of his face softened a lot.
"Well, of course. Sun Shaowei picked up the teacup on the table and took a big sip of tea, he hadn't recovered from his surprise.
"As I mentioned in my email before, it's better that my lab shouldn't be too far away from your company. After all, it is a three-way cooperation project, which can reduce communication costs. I hope to complete the development of a CVD vaccine in the shortest possible time. Chi Ming said seriously. Of course, this is his argument, and only by setting up the laboratory in Huamei can he more easily obtain the information he needs to investigate.
"You don't have to worry about this at all, there is a P4 laboratory in our company's headquarters, Mr. Wei has already given instructions to suspend the original project, and in the next few months as your dedicated laboratory, the assistants assigned to you are all scientific research backbones. This time, we will use the whole company to cooperate with your work. Sun Shaowei responded.
"Okay, you bothered. Chi Ming showed a satisfied expression.
"P4 Lab is really not a place for people, and this time it's been a real hard work. Sun Shaowei patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm used to it. This time, I brought the 3D atomic map of the virus that I had just created and the coding genes of more than 200 strains of the virus, and the development time should be shorter than expected. Chi Ming smiled faintly.
