Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 904: Ignore the beauty?
After struggling all day, I finally squeezed out a drop of experience with the entry [Time Management Master].

The efficiency is quite low, so low that you should go to the hospital.

Efficient work does not count, efficient work + nightclub acting out does not count, but meeting a special girl at one o'clock in the morning without "no one" knowing counts.

Zhou Rui can generally guess the core logic, and it probably has something to do with "stealing".

Master, master, you have done me a terrible job.
Thinking of me, a certain Zhou, who has his own moral obsession and attaches great importance to family harmony.

Facts have proved that Zhou Rui could deceive himself but not the master.

But while walking side by side with Tong Xin on the streets in the early morning, Zhou Rui soon discovered that he no longer cared about the entry.

He recalled some of the past, and even the "command" on this girl's head.

Level of Admiration: Single and independent, loyal and unswerving, would rather lose his years than lose his love.

Strategy difficulty: extremely difficult

Compared with these, [Time Management Master] is not that important.

My thoughts seem to go back to the night when I first watched "Bi Ming".

What is it like in Shanghai at one o'clock in the morning?
Probably no different than 12 o'clock in the morning.

If you are in a densely populated mature neighborhood, it may even feel more lively than just after dark.

There are restaurants serving late-night snacks, nightclubs with long queues, whole families with lights always on, drunken passers-by, and even many night owls walking their dogs.

Two figures walked side by side, walking along the sidewalk and heading towards the "Hai Tian Building".

Tong Xin was carrying her bag and still holding half a bottle of yogurt in her hand. She said helplessly: "I just came out of the company, and I didn't expect you to take me back again."

Zhou Rui: "I'll have someone take you back in a moment. The Gongsun Yangxiezi restaurant downstairs in your company is pretty good."

"Oh~, that restaurant, I've eaten there a few times, but it's a pity that the boss won't charge you any money, so I'm embarrassed to go there again. The siblings you and Lu Xubo saved are very nice. I often see them playing at the door when passing by. , but the little girl was sent back to her hometown to attend primary school last month.”

Tong Xin observed Zhou Rui's expression. She was not surprised by the chance encounter, but she had said twice that she wanted to accompany him, but it had not happened in several years.

She subconsciously wanted to observe whether Zhou Rui was in a bad mood, but after taking a few breaths, she laughed to herself.

She is very familiar with Zhou Rui, and is familiar with every little habit, but she must add a prefix: once.

Now I can no longer capture the "familiarity" I once had.

But this face was still so immersive that Tong Xin was stunned again.

After a while, he forced himself to look away and pretended to say casually: "Are you in a bad mood today? Did you encounter a problem at work or research?"

Zhou Rui thought for a while and said, "There were some small things at first, but they are no longer important. Let me tell you, how have you been lately?"

"Me? The company is quite stable, but the days are a bit monotonous. The two o'clock and one line work every day is not as thrilling as you, just selling goods and so on."

Although she habitually shows a kind of alienation, which confirms the saying "alone and independent", she does not resist sharing everything about herself with Zhou Rui.

My own work, my own life, my own family. Gradually I started to talk.

Zhou Rui listened attentively, knowing that her company was getting bigger and bigger now, with a team of dozens of people. He also knew that she bought a large flat for her parents in Qinghe County, and also bought a car.

We even learned that she had bought a lot of insurance for herself since last year, which accounted for a large part of her income.

After hearing the types of insurance, Zhou Rui roughly guessed what she was thinking.
She subconsciously decided that she would be alone for the rest of her life and would not have children, so she had to make plans early.

It’s hard to imagine that this is what a 26-year-old girl and a successful young entrepreneur is thinking about.

Zhou Rui felt a little distressed and strengthened his thoughts.

Compared to [Neptune], "ignoring" is obviously more excessive.
As she talked, Tong Xin became excited. This kind of late-night stroll with Zhou Rui was the scene she had dreamed of most for several years.

It even surpasses the memories of those inappropriate "late night snacks" that occasionally reappear in my sleep.

Because she never had it.

This girl put her hands behind her back, bounced her steps, and kicked her canvas shoes. She looked less like the boss of an e-commerce company and more like an innocent high school girl in a small town.

Zhou Rui listened with a smile and responded with a sentence or two from time to time.

"Entry task [Time Management Master], experience +1, current progress (3/100)"

The system comes out in a timely manner to refresh the sense of presence, which seems to indicate that the "stealing sense" has reached a new level.

At the entrance of "Gongsun Yang Xiezi", the owner of the shop was thinking about whether there were so few customers today and whether he should finish work early.

Suddenly, it felt like there was an extra wall in front of me, and the street lights were covered.

When I looked up, I saw seven or eight men in black formal suits, each of whom was 1.8 meters tall, standing in a row without saying a word.

The boss's heart skipped a beat.

What's wrong? Is my failure to issue invoices exposed?

I have the illusion that my store will not survive tonight. "Uh, do you guys eat sheep and scorpions? I can give you a discount."

The wall of people parted, revealing a pair of normal-looking men and women.

He didn't recognize the one with the baseball cap, but the woman was familiar to him. She ran a company in this building, and she was also half the savior of his children.

"Boss Tong! Didn't you go back just now?"

This title was quite new. Zhou Rui looked at Tong Xin with a smile. Tong Xin shrank her neck and looked at her toes, feeling a little embarrassed.

In fact, in this office building that is not too high-end, Tong Xin's company is the largest and the youngest, so some familiar merchants around her will call her "Boss Tong", which is a nickname that is deliberately more mature.

The restaurant owner looked at Zhou Rui with careful and vigilant eyes. In his heart, the beautiful child was always single. Even if she had a boyfriend, she should be the benefactor who fell from the sky and saved his child.

The man in front of me was wearing a hat in the middle of the night and was followed by a group of people who were not easy to mess with.

He doesn't look like a good person at first glance! He must be a scumbag! Neptune! Deceiving the little girl's feelings!
Of course, he didn't have the guts to say anything, so he could only do business and order food.

Zhou Rui asked Lin Tuo and the others to sit at the next two tables and order whatever they wanted, while he and Tong Xin sat at a table alone.

Following the custom of Dong Province, Tong Xin helped Zhou Rui soak the tableware in hot water and built everything into a small fortress. She said, "Tell me about you. What new plans does the great scientist have recently?"

Zhou Rui looked at the menu and said: "The orbital platform will usher in some changes. In addition, the biomedical field has taken up a lot of my time recently."

"Biological medicine, I think I've heard of it, Lingshu biology, but what exactly does it treat?"

"It is mainly aimed at brain diseases, such as the prognosis of stroke and brain trauma, and recently it has also involved a little bit of Alzheimer's disease."

The tables and chairs in the store were a bit short. Tong Xin put her elbows on her knees and held her delicate cheek: "I don't understand, but it feels very powerful."

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "You don't need to understand, you just need to know that it is high-tech, Nobel Prize level, although I will not hesitate to participate."

"Of course, your stuff must be great!"

The complimentary melon seeds were placed heavily on the table for the two of them. The shop owner seemed to be reminding Tong Xin in this way.

Wake up! Do you listen to what this man is saying? Are you saying you're not a liar? !
After eating a serious late-night snack, it was already past two o'clock. Perhaps because her blood sugar had risen due to the full meal, Tong Xin, who had been talking about sex just now, could no longer sit still and dozed off with her eyes squinted.

She was really tired. In fact, because June 618 was approaching, she had not slept more than five hours a day in the past four or five days.
Zhou Rui took the initiative to stand up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

By the time they made the purchase, the Hongqi car had already parked on the side of the road, and Zhou Rui and Tong Xin got on it together.

He slowly left under the shocked eyes of his boss.

Less than two kilometers away, the car stopped at the entrance of Hanhaiyuan. Such a close distance was also the reason why Tong Xin did not buy a car. Every day, it was two o'clock and one line, and it started over and over again.

But even at such a short distance, Tong Xin still fell asleep leaning on Zhou Rui's shoulder.
When she woke up from parking the car, she felt a little at a loss and secretly wiped the corners of her mouth.

Fortunately there was nothing.

Zhou Rui said: "We're here."

After clearing her throat, Tong Xin pretended to be calm and said: "Sorry, I'm too sleepy. I'll go up."

Zhou Rui also got out of the car together. This behavior made Tong Xin panic instantly and looked at Zhou Rui warily: "You don't want to get in, do you? No way."

Zhou Rui pretended to be surprised and said, "What are you thinking about? I just watched you enter the unit door."

He didn't have the nerve to torture someone who was obviously exhausted and sleep-deprived.

Tong Xin's heart dropped.

The "extremely difficult" in the batch of instructions is no joke.

Maybe the two could sit down and chat about life after meeting by chance, but Tong Xin was extremely resistant to every step of the way.

Tong Xin felt relieved, turned around and waved. When she was about to enter the unit door, Zhou Rui held the car door and said, "I may come to see you more often in the future."

Tong Xin's whole body trembled.

After a while, he said: "Don't come, I'm very busy at work."

Zhou Rui smiled and asked, "It's okay to meet by chance."

Tong Xin used great determination and finally said: "I met you by chance and I don't care about the street, and I didn't build it."

Then he quickly walked into the elevator door.

Zhou Rui could faintly pass through the hollow of the unit door and saw Tong Xin entering the elevator, then turned around and sat back in the car.

In fact, it is less than two kilometers away from Jiangwan Hanlin.

Zhou Rui and Lin Tuo looked at each other through the rearview mirror, coughed lightly and said:
"Then what? I want to ask, living so close, is there a high chance of a chance encounter?"

Lin Tuo grinned and tapped his temple with his finger:
"Don't worry, as long as you want it, we can help you do it 100%."

Zhou Rui suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth.

Ah Tuo.
You are so good at making progress!
