Chapter 1402: Thorns in the Chapter
It can be said that Chen Chuan was born with everyone's expectations, and he also lived up to his expectations, showing amazing intelligence when he was only one or two years old. Very good, Grandpa Chen's heart was completely devoted to his grandson.
This led to Chen Weiqun's conspiracy against his son and Chen Xue's dissatisfaction with her brother.
Therefore, when Fu Hengze hinted that the Chen family favored boys over girls, the people in the institute did not have a very good impression of the Chen family.
They are all highly educated and despise the idea of favoring boys over girls. It's the same for both men and women. Look at Mr. Chen, he's so outstanding, isn't he better than his son?
I heard that my beloved little brother is unemployed now and is relying on his sister and his wife for support at home.
The old saying is indeed true: a son makes a family a ruin, while a daughter makes it a success.
It’s a pity that the old man couldn’t see the truth and always treated his son as a treasure and his daughter as weeds.
During the period when the rumors were at their most rampant, everyone in the institute looked at Chen Ying with sympathy.
But Chen Ying was very insensitive and didn't feel it at all. Besides, apart from reporting her work to her superiors, she didn't chat with any colleagues, so she had no idea that the affairs of the Chen family were spread privately in the institute, and even the superiors had heard a few words about it.
That's why, today, Director Ma couldn't help but look critical when he looked at Shen Xi.
After all, seriously speaking, Shen Xi is considered to be... a vested interest.
All the resources of the Chen family were given to their son, and she married that son, so she is not innocent.
Shen Xi was very smart. As soon as he saw the director's expression, he knew that Fu Hengze often spread rumors in the unit.
It's just that they are bullying Chen Ying because she doesn't care about worldly affairs and is devoted to her work.
Shen Xi is not Chen Ying, she has a mouth.
"Director Ma, no matter how busy you are, you can't ignore the health of your employees, right? Our fourth sister has been working for three consecutive days without sleep. Is this work or life?"
Director Ma's face was stern: "Nonsense, why wouldn't we let Engineer Chen rest?"
At most, she works longer hours than the average person, but that's her own insistence. On the contrary, they advise her every day to rest more and not to ruin her body.
After all, if you get sick, that would be a bigger loss in terms of time and efficiency, right? Who wouldn't know how to do this?
The body is the capital of the revolution.
"My eldest sister has been unable to get through to my fourth sister since the day before yesterday. She has called over a hundred times in the past three days."
Shen Xi snatched Chen Meng's phone and almost shoved the call records in Director Ma's face: "Take a look."
Director Ma was so frightened that his whole body leaned back involuntarily. If he hadn't hidden well, the phone would have really hit his face.
Looking at the phone again, there was indeed a long string of call records that took a long time to finish. They were all from Chen Ying.
"We are both raised by our biological parents. We are sisters. Who wouldn't be anxious if we couldn't get in touch with her? It's only natural for us to come to the workplace to look for her, right?"
Director Ma looked relieved: "Of course. But you shouldn't..."
Shen Xi interrupted him directly: "Who would have thought that Fu Hengze, who has no idea what he is up to, would chase us away at the gate, saying that Fourth Sister wouldn't see us because she's busy with work. No matter how busy she is, there's always time to see her family, right?"
"Our fourth sister has always been gentle and considerate, and she treats her family very well. It is impossible for her to ignore us when she knows we are worried. If she doesn't reply to messages, doesn't return calls, and can't be contacted, who can feel at ease? Director Ma, if you can't contact your relatives for a few days, wouldn't you be anxious?"
He is... anxious.
Director Ma was even more moved. Yes, they are sisters. Who wouldn't worry if they couldn't get in touch for a few days?
Shen Xi continued speaking.
"Comrade Fu and my sister are just boyfriend and girlfriend. Let's be frank. It's still uncertain whether they can get married and become a family. Why is he stopping us sisters from meeting? What's his intention?"
"People are divided into relatives and strangers. We are at least Fourth Sister's relatives, right? How can we be stopped by outsiders? Director, you are knowledgeable and reasonable. Don't you think this is the truth?"
"Yes..." Director Ma nodded subconsciously, then suddenly reacted and looked at Fu Hengze's ugly expression. After all, they were colleagues, so Director Ma didn't speak for others anymore.
"So, Director, what happened to my fourth sister these days? Why is there no news? She has never been such a secretive person. Did something happen?"
"No, no." Director Ma subconsciously took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. It was so strange. This girl was very pretty and had a sweet smile when she spoke, but inexplicably, he felt that there were many thorns in her words that hurt him.
You have a really sharp tongue. Can’t you see Fu Hengze’s smiling face? You’re almost unable to control yourself.
Director Ma cursed him in his heart that he deserved it. If the elder sister comes to see the younger sister, just let her do it. What if she loses a piece of meat?
I have to stop you.
Some are shameless, it's really their own fault. Chen Gong is not his wife yet, how hard does he work?
They are all dedicated to research and don't like to beat around the bush. Director Ma quickly explained, "Recently, the research and development work that Engineer Chen is in charge of has indeed entered the final stage of the tough battle. Time is tight and the task is heavy. The earlier the drug is developed, the earlier hope will be seen for patients. You should understand that, right?"
Shen Xi nodded: "Of course, it's all for the common people. We have always supported Fourth Sister's work."
This attitude is correct.
It seems that the younger brother who was supported has found a good wife.
Really, what a lucky life.
Director Ma's thoughts drifted away for a moment. He relied on his parents and sisters when he was young, relied on his wife when he grew up, and relied on his children in the future. For some reason, Director Ma envied that man a little...
"But no matter how busy you are, there's always time to meet, right? If not, we can wait here for my fourth sister to eat. We don't ask for a long time. A few minutes shouldn't affect your drug development much, right?"
"Or are you guys so busy with work that you don't even have five minutes to eat? I don't see other people like that either."
Shen Xi glanced around vaguely, and no matter whether it was the people watching the excitement in the building or the people standing here, their faces turned a little red for a moment.
Yes, they say they are so busy, but they have so much free time that they even have the mind to watch the fun.
"Besides, I heard that this guy surnamed Fu is in the same team with my fourth sister. He is so busy at work, how could he come out and stop us for such a long time?"
"Or is it that no one else is busy, only our fourth sister is busy?"
With just one sentence, everyone present blushed, especially Fu Hengze, who was so angry that his face turned red and black at Shen Xi's suggestive words.
Sure enough, Chen Chuan's wife is as annoying as he is! !
What did she mean? Was she saying he was a gigolo?
Her own beloved husband is the one who lives off his sister, his wife, and his family! He has accomplished nothing!
