Chapter 211: They Were Killed by You, Aren't You?
Wood Private Consortium.
When these words fell into Chen Jing's ears, he immediately had a stress reaction.
Yes, he still can't forget how it all started in him.
The DV left from Chen Bofu.
The stone tablet that was cracked from Chen Bofu.
No...... It should have been the Antarctic scientific expedition in 1972, and it was the scientific expedition project initiated by the "Wood Private Consortium" that made all this happen naturally.
"Huangfu is pregnant?" Chen Jing looked at the old man in front of him vigilantly, and only felt that this name sounded a bit dramatic, and no matter how he heard it, he didn't feel that it matched the old man in front of him.
At this moment, Qiao Youning walked out of the kitchen with two cups of brewed hot tea, and generously placed them in front of Chen Jing and Huangfu Huaisui.
"Hello." Qiao Youning put the teacup on the table, greeted the old man politely, and then turned his head to look at Chen Jing, "I'll go upstairs first, and call me if you have anything." ”
Although the old man is the vice president of the [Aether Association], he can be regarded as Qiao Youning's superior no matter what, but ...... Qiao Youning didn't seem to have any reverence for him.
After all, in Qiao Youning's eyes, joining the [Aether Association] is like working in a certain company, and it is really difficult to have a sense of awe for his superiors.
"Hello."
Huangfu Huaisui sat on the sofa, and it was not surprising to see this simple-faced girl appear, as if he knew in advance that she was living in Chen Jing's house.
The old man didn't care about Qiao Youning's slightly cold and polite attitude.
Wait for Qiao Youning to leave.
Huangfu Huai Sui slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then quietly put down the teacup and looked at Chen Jing, the corners of his mouth twitching faintly seemed to tell some kind of pain.
“…… Do you make tea with 100 degrees of boiling water? ”
"Hmm...... Is there anything wrong with that? ”
Chen Jing didn't see that the old man was burned, and explained to himself, his expression was slightly embarrassed.
"The tea we buy at home is the cheapest kind, because we don't know how to drink tea, it's all brewed casually, don't mind."
“……”
Huangfu Huaisui was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and only spoke again after almost two minutes.
"I have a personal relationship with Grandpa Ling."
"I've never heard of that."
"We first met on the research ship that went to Antarctica."
Huangfu Huaisui took out a cigar from his pocket, but he didn't light it, but slowly turned it between his fingers as if he were playing with it.
"Your grandfather was an amazing man."
"But I've heard he's just a college professor."
"That's it?"
Huangfu Huaisui didn't seem to agree with Chen Jing's words, and smiled disapprovingly.
He didn't seem to want to explain too much to Chen Jing, and didn't talk too much about how his personal relationship with Chen Bofu began, but talked about what happened after that.
"After your grandfather returned to China, I actually always missed him, if I could work with a stubborn scholar like him for a long time...... Actually, it's also a good thing. ”
"Are you sure?" Chen Jing asked rhetorically, not believing the old man's words.
"He's different from other scholars, much purer and much more stupid, so it doesn't take too much intrigue to deal with him, and he's the only yellow-skinned professor at Miskatonic University, the same color as me hahaha!!"
Huangfu Huaisui felt a little thirsty when he said this, so he picked up the hot teacup again, but this time he was very careful, and he blew it for about ten seconds before he dared to put it in his mouth.
"Just because of this, you made friends with him?"
Chen Jing felt a little incredible.
Although he still doesn't know the origin of Huangfu's pregnancy, through the old man's current status as vice president, as well as the fact that he led the scientific expedition team at the beginning...... It is not difficult to see that the old man should be a "big man" in a sense.
Powerful, powerful, and financial.
How could such a character be inexplicably able to look at an old pedant?
"You don't need those things to measure making friends." Huangfu Huaisui seemed to know what Chen Jing was suspicious, so he explained, "I completely agree with some of his concepts, and even in that backward era, when we were sitting on the research ship and drinking, he had already foreseen what the world would become......"
Speaking of this, Huangfu Huaisui fell into memory.
It was as if I felt the cold and biting evening breeze on the sea again.
"I was a pure businessman at the time, so I didn't see things from the same perspective as most people, especially the world...... I have always looked at this 'gold mine' that is being discovered by countless people with an optimistic outlook, and I always feel that there are countless possibilities in the future. ”
Saying that, Huangfu Huai Sui suddenly paused, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"But your grandfather said that I was thinking too much, and the future would not be good."
"Well, like me...... Wrong! It's me like him! Chen Jing nodded, only feeling that the old man's pessimistic attitude was exactly the same as his, worthy of a family.
"When I heard this, I wanted to throw him off the boat, but I saw that he had drunk too much, so I ......"
Huangfu Huaisui shook his head, and the look on his face became more and more strange.
"He said the world is changing too fast...... The forest becomes the city, and the city becomes the forest, and this steel forest that rises from the ground will eventually swallow everyone's dreams, making everyone live like a machine without emotion and dignity. ”
Chen Jing looked at the hot teacup in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of expression to put on to face the old man's story.
"People will eventually fall into the abyss, and they will never be able to turn over, and this is how the world eats everyone little by little, and it will eventually die in a rotting state...... To be honest, the future he described scares me. ”
"Are you scared of this?" Chen Jing looked at the old man incredulously.
"That's right, because such a world is too boring for me...... I don't lack money, what I lack is fun. Huangfu Huai Sui smiled, "What's the point of a lifeless world without fun?" ”
Chen Jing couldn't understand the brain circuit of this old capitalist.
"Everyone has a purpose to make money, some to support their families, some to fight for power, and I ...... I just want to have some fun in this world. ”
Huangfu Huai Sui stopped when he said this, because he suddenly remembered that there was something more important that he had not said.
"Smith, they're not missing, you killed them, are they?"
When Huangfu Huaisui asked this sentence, he didn't care about the expression on Chen Jing's face, and continued to say to himself.
"The stele that your grandfather stole from Antarctica should have fallen into your hands, but I don't care about that...... I just want to ask you, is Chen Bofu dead or missing now, can you give me a real answer? ”
