Ninghai Hospital, Inpatient Department.

When Lu Xuan and Chu Luoyan came to the senior ward where Chu Xiaoxiao was, they saw Chu Xiaoxiao lying on the hospital bed a little restlessly, holding a tablet on her chest.

Because it was early in the morning, there was only a small lamp left in the ward, and Chu Xiaoxiao's face reflected the different lights of the tablet, which seemed to be playing a game.

Seeing that the door of the ward was opened, and the figures of a man and a woman appeared in front of the door, Chu Xiaoxiao shouted happily: "Sister, future brother-in-law, you are finally here!" Hurry up and take me home, I'm going to be suffocated here. ”

As soon as Chu Luoyan heard the voice of her future brother-in-law, her face, which was originally smiling slightly, suddenly fell.

"What nonsense."

Chu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, I didn't say anything." ”

"Xiaoxiao, you're so lively, it looks like you should be fine." Lu Xuan looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's face after approaching, and it was indeed much more ruddy, not as pale as when he was just sent to the hospital.

"That's right, it's all about the future...... Lu Xuan, you. Chu Xiaoxiao was careless and almost called out the four words of future brother-in-law in front of Chu Luoyan, but fortunately reacted in time, his cunning gaze turned, Chu Luoyan next to him looked indifferent, didn't seem to hear it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then looked left and right without looking at Chu Ling, and asked, "Hey, where is Brother Chu Ling?" ”

"He accompanied Zhou Xiaofeng, director of the city bureau, to record a confession." Chu Luoyan said.

Lu Xuan asked curiously, "Who are those young people?" ”

"Those scumbags, they are students in the same grade as me, and they are usually just some domineering rich second generations, but I didn't expect to become crazy when I drank, and this time I almost made them miserable." Chu Xiaoxiao remembered the scene at that time, and her pretty face was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

If it weren't for Chu Xiaoxiao hiding that she was a descendant of the Chu family in school, no matter how arrogant those scum were, they wouldn't dare to provoke her.

Then the three of them chatted a little more, and Chu Luoyan said at this time: "It's so late, Xiaoxiao, you should hurry up and rest, Lu Xuan and I will leave first." ”

Seeing that the two of them were not going to spend the night with her, Chu Xiaoxiao was startled and begged bitterly.

"Ah, no, sister, I beg you, take me back too, I can suffocate someone here."

"No, the doctor just explained that you still need to stay in the hospital for observation, and you won't be discharged until tomorrow at the latest." Chu Luoyan flatly refused.

"Those white coats are full of fools, they just want to charge me an extra day for hospitalization." Chu smiled and muttered.

"It's okay, the Chu family is not short of this money, don't be so upset, it's a big deal that I'll contact the principal of your school tomorrow to expel those six people."

Chu Xiaoxiao listened to Chu Luoyan's words, her face was overjoyed, and when she saw that the two of them were leaving, she didn't say anything more, and started playing games with the tablet in her arms.

After leaving the inpatient department, Lu Xuan picked up the car and sent Chu Luoyan home.

In the early morning, the street lamps are shining with golden light, and there seems to be a faint mist in the air, which reflects all the scenes in front of you hazy, which is quite beautiful.

The cool breeze gusted, Lu Xuan closed the window, the car seemed extremely quiet, he smelled the faint aroma on Chu Luoyan's body, it was not the smell of any type of perfume, but a woman's natural body fragrance, which was refreshing.

This faint aroma made Lu Xuan enjoy it very much, so although there were not many vehicles on the road, Cadillac's speed was not fast.

"Are you going to work tomorrow?" Lu Xuan asked.

Chu Luoyan nodded and replied, "En." ”

"It's five o'clock when I go back, and I have to go to work the next day, will it be too hard?"

When Chu Luoyan heard this, she was suddenly overjoyed, but she immediately sighed and said: "Recently, the company is competing with another first-tier company and is preparing to win an order from a well-known foreign cosmetics company, so there have been many meetings in the morning, noon and evening these days, and it is difficult to take a break from the company to do something else." ”

Lu Xuan frowned slightly and asked, "Are there any difficulties?" ”

"Well, the research and development of Chu's new product has entered the final stage, and there are only a few days left to hold a new product launch conference, but just yesterday, the company that competed with us for orders launched a new product first, and the finished product contained in the product is as similar as 95% to the new product developed by our Chu's."

"You're saying that their stuff is related to the new product developed by the Chu Clan?"

Chu Luoyan nodded, his face solemn: "That's right, I suspect that it was the insiders of the Chu clan who sold the new ingredients to the other party." ”

Commercial espionage! This is an existence that every company is very afraid of.

Lu Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter: "Insiders? How many people will be exposed to the new product? ”

"There won't be too many, the new product is still in the final stage of research and development, and the only people who can get access to the new product are the R&D personnel in the R&D room."

"These R&D personnel usually work in the R&D room established by Chu on the outskirts of the city, and according to the confidentiality contract, they cannot contact outsiders except for normal work and rest, and the most they can contact with the outside world is the two industrial plants near the edge of the R&D room."

"There are more than 20 people who participated in the research and development work, all of whom are high-end talents absorbed by Chu's in the field of cosmetics in recent years."

Chu Luoyan's eyes froze, and he continued: "I think the person who leaked the ingredients of the product is in this person, but according to the recent supervision and inspection, there is nothing abnormal about these people, and there is no person who leaks the ingredients of the product at all. ”

"And now Chu's has made a lot of changes to the ingredients of the new product, but if this person is not found out for a day, Chu's new product will not be able to hold a press conference for a day, let alone put into production, and even the opportunity to win that order will be lost."

Chu Luoyan said as he took out a stack of materials from his handbag, all of which were detailed information about the R&D personnel in the research room, and said: "You were a special soldier before, and your observation is sharper than mine, you can see if you can find anything from these materials." ”

Lu Xuan nodded, at this time, the car had already driven into the garden outside the Chu family's villa, parked the car aside, took the pile of information in Chu Luoyan's hand and checked it carefully.

Turning the page from page to page, Lu Xuan just checked the information of a few people, and found that these people were all about twenty or thirty years old, and they all graduated from foreign universities or famous universities in China.

"What kind of treatment are these high-achieving students in your Chu family?"

"This one is called Lin Qinghe, and he does assistant work, and his annual salary is the lowest in the entire R&D team, but it is also more than 300,000." Chu Luoyan pointed to a man who didn't look very old, and then said: "The leader of the R&D team has the highest annual salary, which can get nearly two million, and the rest of the R&D personnel have an annual salary of around one million, which is a very high salary in the entire Ninghai City and even the whole country." ”

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised, thinking that the Chu family was really powerful, and the salary paid to this R&D team alone was 20 million to 30 million yuan a year, which was higher than the total turnover of some small and medium-sized enterprises in a year.

Lu Xuan flipped through the information, and as time passed, the sky in the east had already glowed with a faint white, and the darkness around him began to disappear.

The air seemed to be as quiet as frozen, only the sound of turning the paper from time to time remained, and Chu Luoyan was also able to calm down, analyzing the whole thing in his mind, hoping to find some clues.

"You go back to sleep first, and you can go to work well after you have enough energy."

At this time, Lu Xuan finished reading all the information of more than 20 people in the R&D room, and returned a pile of materials to Chu Luoyan.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Chu Luoyan nodded, put the information into his handbag, and prepared to get out of the car.

Smack! Chu Luoyan opened the car door, and was about to get out of the car when Lu Xuan's voice came from behind him.

"If you can trust me, I can go to the lab tomorrow and have a good way to dig out this spy relatively easily, but this method still needs your consent."

Lu Xuan's words fell, Chu Luoyan's face was pleasantly surprised, and he immediately nodded and said: "As long as you can find out this person who betrayed the Chu family, everything will be fine, then we will meet in Huiyuan Square for lunch, and then go to the R&D room on the outskirts of the city together." ”

After dealing with a troublesome matter, after Lu Xuan drove home, it was already six o'clock in the morning after washing in the bathroom, and he immediately fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already early eleven o'clock in the morning.

After Lu Xuan washed up, he changed into clean and casual clothes, drove to Huiyuan Square to meet Chu Luoyan, and after eating together, the two drove to Chu's R&D room on the outskirts of the city.

A huge industrial area, with neat roads like a grid of fields, workers come and go in two industrial factories with huge boiler sets, and not far from it, an exquisite courtyard made of white marble.

After the two parked the car, Chu Luoyan walked to the entrance of the courtyard, pressed his thumb on the fingerprint reader at the entrance, and with a 'buckle', the gate outside the courtyard opened, and Lu Xuan entered with him.

In the courtyard, it was the Chu family's research room, Chu Luoyan opened the door again and walked in with Lu Xuan.

In the sterile room, Chu Luoyan and Lu Xuan both changed into a set of white sterile gowns, with dust caps and thick masks, and then officially entered the research room.

Lu Xuan looked left and right, looking at the entire spacious research room.

, white walls, black LCD computer monitors, delicate microscopes, and bottles, jars, and utensils everywhere.

In the center of the room is a boxy table with bottles, jars and utensils filled with a variety of liquids, and a group of researchers wearing dust caps and masks, mostly holding reports or rubber-tipped droppers.

The appearance of Chu Luoyan and Lu Xuan made all the researchers turn their attention to them, and it didn't take long for a man in a white sterile suit to walk forward quickly, undo the mask on his cheek, and say with a smile: "Mr. Chu, you are here, who is this?" ”

The white-robed man looked at Lu Xuan with some curiosity, after all, this is the Chu Clan's secret research room, except for a few high-ranking members of the Chu Clan, no one else is allowed to enter.

Chu Luoyan's expression was cold: "His name is Lu Xuan, and he is the newly hired consultant of the Chu family. ”

"Hello Mr. Lu, I am Xiao Shen, the leader of the research team." Xiao Shen said, made an inviting gesture with one hand, and said with some excitement: "Mr. Chu, the new product with improved ingredients is a little better than the new product researched before, and the effect is beyond the expectations of everyone in the research team, please come and see ......."

Xiao Shen is full of excitement because of the results of the improved product, both his face and his tone.

Lu Xuan listened quietly, looking around the entire research room, although Xiao Shen was excitedly introducing new products to Chu Luoyan, the other twenty or so members of the research team were still busy with their own work, very busy, and they were not distracted at all by Chu Luoyan and his appearance.
