Alpha Predator

Shen Dai was restless all morning because of Uncle Heng's words in the morning.

There are many things that don’t need to be pointed out, he knows it all, but people will deceive themselves, bargain, evade, get lucky, and make rationality and sensibility engage in endless battles between man and nature.

He must be more restrained, at least he shouldn't be Qu Moyu's "trouble".

A junior sister came over and interrupted Shen Dai's depression: "Brother Shen, the teacher told you to go to the office."

"Okay, thank you."

Professor Liu Xi is one of the most influential experts in the field of international rare earth research and Shen Dai's mentor. Under his leadership, Shen Dai was selected into the talent plan and entered Xingzhou, the top rare earth research institute in China.What Shen Dai admires the most is not only his contribution in the academic world, but also because he is a beta who has broken through the crowd of alphas.

"Teacher." Shen Dai entered the office and picked up Liu Xi's teacup casually, "How many times have I told you not to make such a strong tea, it's not good for your health, and you still use it to water the flowers all day long, and keep a pot of it to death."

"It's not light enough." Liu Xi dug out a manuscript from a pile of documents, "The materials for the investor meeting are well written."

Shen Dai smiled and said, "Thank you teacher."

"It happened to be you who wrote it. This time you will speak for me."

"what?"

Liu Xi said with disgust: "This group of people, the meeting time has been changed for the third time, and my air ticket has also been changed again and again. I haven't been able to go to the mine in South Africa until now. I can't wait any longer. I will leave tomorrow. I told them, you go to the meeting for me."

Shen Dai was a little dumbfounded: "Isn't that the beginning of next month?"

"Yeah, you do the subject every day, what else do you need to prepare? You have participated in the meeting before, so just talk about our results and future plans. In fact, many of them don't understand."

The so-called investor meeting is an annual report to the group's senior management, major shareholders and shareholder representatives. Their group takes hundreds of millions of funds every year, and it is very important to let those who pay the money know what they have done. Meeting.

This means that Qu Moyu, who is the executive president, will definitely attend.

Shen Dai said helplessly: "Teacher, your heart is too big. This is an investor meeting. If they ask me some tricky questions, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to handle it? They may not understand rare earths, but they understand financial reports." ah."

"We have achieved results this year. If we have achieved results, we will have confidence. What are you afraid of?" Liu Xi patted the table with firm eyes, "Be aggressive, you know, if they raise money with you, you can raise future returns. Let’s recruit, as long as there are no major problems, the higher-ups told me that the budget will not be cut this year, so I dare to leave.”

"...Okay, then when will you come back?" Shen Dai intuitively felt that this level is not so easy. During the investment stage, investors often deliberately throw out some difficult problems, which can be regarded as a kind of psychological compensation. Well, there are many people who have not seen results in scientific research for ten or eight years.

"I don't know. The reserves of this mine have not been proven yet, but the content of neodymium and dysprosium is not low. I may have to stay for a while. Your senior brother and sister are squatting in Gansu again. I will leave it to you and Zimei for the time being."

"Okay, don't worry, teacher."

In order to prepare for the speech, Shen Dai has been working overtime until very late these days. This is more nervous than his thesis defense. It is his own business to screw up the defense, but if the investor messes up, it will drag down the entire project team, even though the teacher told him Relax, but he didn't dare to neglect at all.

One night, Shen Dai and Qu Moyu came home at the same time—the two haven't seen each other since that day.

Shen Dai nodded in greeting: "Mr. Qu is good." He thought that Qu Moyu would not mention that insignificant dish, and neither would he, so he just pretended that nothing happened, no matter what he said when he was drunk or what he said after he woke up. Passionate.

"Come back so late, do you work overtime?" Qu Moyu asked casually.

"Yes, I have been working a lot of overtime recently."

"I heard that the investor will ask Professor Liu to give you a speech."

"Yes, the teacher is in a hurry to go to South Africa to prospect for mines." Shen Dai joked, "I'm very nervous, please show me your hand when the time comes, Mr. Qu."

"You have to face not only me, but also senior executives, shareholders and stockholder representatives." Qu Moyu looked down at Shen Dai, "Make more preparations, don't be stage frighted when the time comes, just say what you want, I will talk to them Greetings."

"Thank you, Mr. Qu." Shen Dai's heart warmed up, Qu Moyu was so perfect, it was impossible to like him, not Qu Moyu's shortcoming, but his.

"The subject of your group has the most potential in the research institute. The board of directors is very optimistic and will not cut your budget. If the prospecting in South Africa goes well, you may add more."

Shen Daixi said: "That's great, the teacher is very confident in the South African mine."

Qu Moyu nodded: "Go to rest early."

Shen Dai said softly: "Good night." As soon as he uttered these two words, his heart felt sour and sweet.Good night is different from good morning. You always say good morning to people when you go to school or work, but the people who say good night are usually close people, so these two words are given a layer of ambiguity.

It was the first time to say goodnight to Qu Moyu openly.

When he returned home on the weekend, Shen Dai brought some vegetables and daily necessities as usual, but as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was not right. Grandma was sitting on the sofa waiting for him with a sullen face.

"Grandma, I haven't cooked, so let me do it."

"Don't worry." Grandma patted the place beside her, "Come here, let's chat."

Shen Dai knew that he couldn't escape this hurdle, the moment he sat down, he decided to tell the truth.

"Where did you get so much money to suddenly pay off the debt?" Grandma had an unbelievable expression, "I thought it was a liar when I received the call. You took me to the doctor last time and said that you took one How could you get such a high bonus."

"Grandma, don't worry, let's talk slowly."

Grandma took a deep breath: "Okay, we can talk slowly, but you must tell me the truth."

Shen Dai nodded: "I won't tell you, just because I don't know how to speak, I'm afraid you will get angry."

"You, did you get the money right?" Grandma clasped her hands nervously.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely right." Shen Dai hurriedly said, "Don't think about it, in fact, this money is... It was given to me by the You family."

Grandma's eyes widened, and her voice suddenly became stern: "You's family?!" She hated You Xinghai to the bone, because You Xinghai ruined her son.

"Grandma." Shen Dai held his grandma's hand and said softly, "Listen to me, okay?"

Grandma lowered her head slowly, her chest was still heaving vigorously: "Why did the You family give you money, so much money, it's impossible, why?"

"The reason may sound unbelievable, but it's true." Shen Dai briefly described what he needed to fulfill the marriage contract for You Baiyue, but withdrew Qu Moyu's name.

Grandma was silent for a long time, grabbing Shen Dai's hand painfully, but couldn't say a word for a long time.After a while, she shed tears quietly.

Shen Dai's heart also tugged, and he wiped away his grandma's tears: "Grandma, I know you don't want me to have anything to do with the You family, and I never thought of looking for him, but we do now I need money, and this cooperation has not harmed me, I can go to work and live as usual, and I can pay off my debts, and the rest of the money can be used to change a house and give you medical treatment, this money has helped us a lot."

"I know." Grandma choked up, "I just know, that's why I'm uncomfortable. You shouldn't have to bear these things. Your father has become like that. That scum is certainly hateful. Your grandpa and I have lost our education, but you are the most innocent. Yes, you are required to make money to support your family, and you are required to spend your life to pay off your debts, which has delayed everything for you."

"Don't delay, we will dissolve the marriage relationship in a short time. When their cooperation is completed, it should be soon." Shen Dai forced a smile, "Grandma, you think about the best, this is a good thing, The You family has been getting worse and worse over the past few years, and our son didn't let him worry about it, so we took his money and saw his bad luck again, how happy we are."

"He gave you 1000 million, such a large amount of money, is it really just for you to get a marriage certificate?" Grandma said worriedly, "What kind of bastard is You Xinghai? Have a plan."

"No, he came to me in desperation. Now that I have taken the money and spent it, what else can he do to me?"

Grandma shook her head with a sad face: "I hope so. Then your... Who is the person who married you, and how did he treat you?"

"It's a stranger. I haven't met him a few times. He's very polite." Shen Dai stroked his grandma's thin back, "Our cooperation will definitely not last long. When things are over and we get divorced, I won't hesitate." It’s just multiple marriage histories, it’s just such a small price, but isn’t it a good deal in exchange for us to live a normal life?” Although the front of this paragraph is a lie, the back is the truth, and the contract says five In order to fully protect Qu Moyu's interests, it is impossible to take that long. Before long, the only false connection between him and Qu Moyu will disappear.

Grandma sighed: "You must not get too close to the You family."

Shen Dai thought of You Baiyue, and for some reason also thought of Qu Chengchen, he frowned slightly: "No way."

"Then..." Grandma seemed hesitant to say anything, "Then you get married, although it is cooperation, will people want you..."

Shen Dai immediately understood grandma's embarrassment: "No, I've said it all, I haven't seen it a few times, and I don't contact you if there is no business."

Grandma breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. Omega is the easiest to lose. No matter what you do, you have to be measured. Think about your father's lesson from the past."

Shen Dai's eyes darkened, no one understood better than him, because he was the price for making mistakes, and was forced to use his own life to bear the consequences of mistakes not made by him, he said in a deep voice: "I understand. "
