Chapter 167

Jin Xiangdong realized what he was doing and released his hold . He patted Jason on his shoulder gently and tried to smooth things over while staying calm and collected . “Jason, it is just a break-up, right? Time is the best cure . Everything will be fine . ”

Getting drunk was a bad thing to deal with currently . Jason almost spilled the beans . Lu Jia'er felt her heart had skipped a beat . Fortunately, Jin Xiangdong stopped him in time .

That being said, Jin Xiangdong's action did stir up the curiosity in Yuan Miaomiao . “Now I see that Jason has devoted his heart to that relations.h.i.+p . I really do want to get to know more about this woman that hurt Jason so badly . How could she give up on such a promising young man?”

Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong said, “Miao Miao, don't add insult to injury!”

Yuan Miaomiao chuckled . “Alright, I'll stop!”

Jason realized that he almost put his foot in his mouth . He got up in a hurry . “I need to go to the little boy's room!”

After Jason left, Yuan Miaomiao said to Jin Xiangdong, “Anyways, Brother Xiangdong, aren't you curious about that woman?”

Jin Xiangdong threw Yuan Miaomiao a glance and replied calmly, “No . ”

Being a person of science, once Yuan Miaomiao developed curiosity about one thing, she would want to find out the reason behind it . So, she continued, “Why is that?”

“I don't like to gossip . ” Jin Xiangdong gave a short answer .

Hearing this, Yuan Miaomiao smiled . “Gossip is part of human nature, especially for women . Isn't that right, Professor Lu?”

Lu Jia'er noticed that Yuan Miaomiao had s.h.i.+fted the conversation to her . The former gazed at her and said, “Frank McAndrew, professor of psychology at Knox college in the United States, said: throughout history, gossip or the sharing of gossip has been a tool to maintain intrgroup communication, promoting group stability and prosperity . From our ancestors during the Stone Age to modern humans, we are born with the gossip gene . But gossip stimulates the release of endorphins, which bring happiness and relieve stress . And studies have found that people who gossip a lot are significantly happier than people who don't talk . In the face of life's pressure and setbacks, appropriate expression of dissatisfaction and complaints, can release negative emotions, ease the inner anxiety . Gossip is also a kind of language expression that does not need to pay attention to logic, unlike making a report, nor does it need to be responsible, there is no burden of thinking . And because of gossip, it can also, to varying degrees, make the effects of interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps more profound, and establish some kind of close relations.h.i.+p based on mutual interests . And women love gossip, this desire is almost always formed at a very young age, they share some secrets with their friends and slowly as time grows, each becomes the other's bestie . ”

Lu Jia'er finished her piece . Yuan Miaomiao smiled at her and then turned to Jin Xiangdong . “Brother Xiangdong, this is from an expert in psychology . You don't like gossip . It implied that you are not down-to-earth at all!”

Jin Xiangdong smiled, “Maybe . ”

Hearing this, Yuan Miaomiao said with a smile, “Professor Lu, do you know? Many people, including me, think Brother Xiangdong is an otherworldly G.o.d that desires nothing!”

Because of the effect of the alcohol, Yuan Miaomiao was not so tense anymore . She began to blab about her comments and impression of Jin Xiangdong .

Lu Jia'er was interested in this description Yuan Miaomiao used . “An otherworldly G.o.d that desires nothing?”

“Yes . I have heard about him since I was a kid . Later, when I met him for the first time, this was my first impression! If it were not for you, Professor Lu, I would really believe that Brother Xiangdong had no interest in women at all! All he knew was work and how to develop his AI . ”

Yuan Miaomiao shared her innermost feelings and thoughts . Of course, she shared with unspeakable bitterness in her heart .

Hearing this, Lu Jia'er turned over to size Jin Xiangdong up and down . Otherworldly, no desire, those words did not seem as though they were related to Jin Xiangdong at all . The no desire, in particular, could not be more wrong . She understood his desire very well . Usually, she would have to beg him to let her go…

Those thoughts made Lu Jia'er blush involuntarily . She said casually, “If he is a G.o.d, I think it's more accurate to call him a G.o.d Prince of Charming!”

Lu Jia'er's straightforward comments went straight to the heart of the matter . But Yuan Miaomiao did not try and deny it . “Yes, we do see him as Prince Charming!”

Lu Jia'er had a more favorable impression of Yuan Miaomiao . In such situations, most girls would try to cover up or to deny because they were afraid of being embarra.s.sed or to show what is truly on their minds .

Lu Jia'er responded calmly . “Actually, Prince Charming is only created through imagination . Once you get to know someone, no matter how perfect he appears to be, has his own flaws . ”

Lu Jia'er was not bragging about her relations.h.i.+p but Yuan Miaomiao did become envious . Even with flaws, she wanted to get to know and understand Jin Xiangdong . Unfortunately, she did not have the opportunity .

Yuan Miaomiao produced a bitter smile . “Perhaps . Professor Lu, many people are jealous of you!” Then, Yuan Miaomiao said to herself, including me .

Lu Jia'er returned with a gentle smile . Jason had come back from the restroom . He pulled his chair and added, “Miao, what are you jealous of?”

Yuan Miaomiao said to Jason, “The fact that Professor Lu is informed and learned . ”

Yuan Miaomiao was clever and quick-witted . n.o.body would get sick of those traits . Lu Jia'er said, “You are outstanding yourself . You don't have to admire anyone!”

Jason smiled . “Right . Miao, your family gene is strong . You don't have to admire anyone . Besides, it should be other people that admire you . ”

“Jason, while I don't like your words, but that is the fact of the matter . That is how people see me . ” Yuan Miaomiao exclaimed .

Lu Jia'er could detect the frustration in Yuan Miaomiao's tone . For three generations, her family were involved in scientific studies . From young, the atmosphere she grew up in was different . That being said, she must have been faced with a lot of pressure . She must devote more effort and use more time to prove herself in order to break away from the halo of fame the previous generations built .

Yuan Miaomiao was a qualified young talent in scientific studies . After all, even with the halo of fame built previously, without her own abilities, Professor Chen Ming would not have picked her to join his research team . After all, within a research team, through relying on connections only would not win her status .

“Miao Miao, you are outstanding . Professor Chen Ming has praised you . You are his star student and one of the core members on the research team . Your ability can not be underestimated . ” Jin Xiangdong said .

Yuan Miaomiao was a bit shy to hear Jin Xiangdong's compliment . “Compared with the three of you, there is more to study and I have to progress further!”

“Miao, too much modesty is arrogance!” Jason added, smiling .

Yuan Miaomiao stared at Jin Xiangdong . Jin Xiangdong looked at them and s.h.i.+fted the topic to business . “Miao Miao, you have partic.i.p.ated in the study of recovering memory via genes . What is the risk probability for human trials?”

Yuan Miaomiao did not think too much of it, perhaps due to the effect of alcohol . “The risk probability is estimated to be 60%” She gave a direct answer .

“60%? So, the success rate is not high . ” Jin Xiangdong said .

Yuan Miaomiao shook her head . “Brother Xiangdong, you should know that all research projects carry risks . But down the road of scientific studies, faced with any problems or hards.h.i.+p, we can only advance, not step back . ”

“Miao Miao, you have demonstrated scientific spirit . ” Jin Xiangdong smiled .

“Brother Xiangdong, you flatter me . The project co-operated between your company and our research center will not yield fruits soon, but it is promising . ” Yuan Miaomiao said .

From the perspective of cooperation, naturally, Jin Xiangdong knew the prospect . It was just that he was dying to solve Lu Jia'er's problem . However, Lu Jia'er's secret could not be known by more people .

Yuan Miaomiao was his acquaintance . But would she help him if she found out the secret?

Jin Xiangdong was hesitating . After all, this was a grave matter .

“Thanks to you, our company and Professor Chen Ming's cooperation has started smoothly . ” Once again, Jin Xiangdong expressed his grat.i.tude to Yuan Miaomiao .

Hearing this, Yuan Miaomiao smiled . “Professor Chen Ming chose to cooperate with you because your company has enough strength and has demonstrated sincerity . ”

That being said, Yuan Miaomiao must have made great efforts privately to facilitate the cooperation . She must have put in a good word for Jin Xiangdong to Professor Chen Ming . Of course, the most important factor was the strength of BUA itself .

“I believe Miao Miao has helped you a lot . ” Lu Jia'ers aid .

Hearing said, Yuan Miaomiao could not help but keep her gaze on Lu Jia'er . She did not know how to evaluate this Lu Jia'er . Her resume was impressive . Professionally, Yuan Miaomiao admired her for sure . On the other hand, inside, Yuan Miaomiao felt a bit intimidated by Lu Jia'er . Many people stated that no one should date or marry lawyers, police and psychologists . There were no secrets from a psychologist .

Yuan Miaomiao did not claim the credit . “Professor Chen Ming is the one making decisions on all cooperation projects . I am just a member of the research team and I have to listen to his instructions . ”

Lu Jia'er knew very well the concerns Jin Xiangdong had . She was just as worried that her true ident.i.ty would be revealed . However, they were pressed for time . From her meetings with Yuan Miaomiao, Lu Jia'er sensed that Yuan Miaomiao was not a scheming or conniving girl .

So, Lu Jia'er began . “Miao Miao, can you do me a favor!”

Those words shocked Jin Xiangdong who was next to Lu Jia'er . He stared at her and grabbed her hand under the table, signalling her not to fling caution to the winds .

Yuan Miaomiao was surprised as well . “Me? What is it?”
