Chapter 184 Are they talking about business or love?
Jiang Siyue met He Lun's gaze from a distance, a hint of strangeness flashed across his eyes, and then he raised his glass to greet him.
"Is it the 'rising star' in the biopharmaceutical market?" she asked knowingly.
"That's right." When talking about Herron, Dillon was just like a fanatical fan recommending his idol, and he praised his master to the sky with the "uninformed passers-by".
"—You know, Mr. Heron's lifelong dream has always been to benefit all of humanity by developing new drugs! He has such lofty ambitions at such a young age, which I truly admire!"
Shen Zelan was distracted the entire time and didn't hear a single word. Only when she saw Jiang Siyue's "serious face" did her pupils focus involuntarily.
In response to this, Boss Shen said: I am only interested in my own boss.
It’s not that Jiang Siyue didn’t feel Shen Zelan’s “affectionate” gaze, but the current situation was special and she really couldn’t take on this role.
At this moment, the crowd around the bar suddenly became agitated.
"Mr. Herron?"
"Mr. Herron, please stay!"
"Mr. Herron, regarding pain simulation technology..."
"Mr. Herron, our company is willing to provide all the research data on a certain neurological disease..."
No one expected that Mr. Herron, who had been leaning against the bar without saying a word, would suddenly pick up his glass.
Despite the guests' requests to stay, he didn't even bother to say "excuse me" and walked through the crowd with his long legs, heading straight for the "surprised" trio who were doing nothing a few meters away.
But it would be more accurate to say that he came for Jiang Siyue rather than for the group.
However, as an excellent Jiang Siyue's "only fan", Shen Zelan has always had a natural resistance to those who approach her boss with ulterior motives.
So even though she knew Jiang Siyue's plan, her first reaction was to grab Jiang Siyue's wrist and pull her behind her.
It’s a pity that Jiang Siyue didn’t cooperate this time, but he still scratched her palm lightly while struggling to break free at the speed of light, indicating that she should not be exposed.
Shen Zelan then realized that he had been too reckless and immediately put his hand back into his trouser pocket.
Fortunately, their little actions were fleeting, and from the perspective of others, there was nothing unusual about them, so they did not arouse Heren's vigilance.
However, the latter has always been a proud peacock with his eyes on top of his head. I guess he wouldn't be able to see it even if his vision was not blocked.
Jiang Siyue took the opportunity to change her hand to hold the wine glass, and then stared at the man without blinking until he stopped in front of her.
"Beautiful lady, nice to meet you. What's your name?"
Well, it’s still a peacock with its tail spread out.
Jiang Siyue smiled and answered humbly in international language: "Yue Miao. Mr. He Lun, nice to meet you."
Only after such close contact did Jiang Siyue realize that He Lun was really young.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and his appearance combines the three-dimensional depth of Western bone structure with the gentle handsomeness of Eastern skin.
Even though he was dressed maturely, he looked only about 24 or 25, with the kind of perfect mixed-race face that could disguise him as a college student without anyone suspecting him.
At this moment, he was staring at Jiang Siyue quietly with his light brown eyes, and after a while he finally showed his first sincere smile of the night.
"It's my honor to meet Miss Yue," he said, completely ignoring the surprised and jealous looks from the surrounding guests. He asked directly, "I wonder if Miss Yue is single? Could I invite you for a drink alone?"
After hearing this, Shen Zelan: "?"
Dillon: “???”
Guests nearby: “??!”
Only the person in question remained calm and showed off the pinky ring on his left little finger: "Of course."
"—But besides drinking, I'm also very interested in your company's next stage of research projects."
He Lun's eyes lit up, and even his tone seemed to be tinged with excitement: "Miss Yue and I are indeed in tune with each other... Please."
Not to mention the guests present, even Ti Lung, who was a big fan of Herron, had never seen his boss being so polite to anyone.
He watched Jiang Siyue leave with He Lun with his own eyes. He felt as if his soul had left his body. He subconsciously nudged Shen Zelan's shoulder with his elbow: "Boss Shen, I'm old and don't really understand you young people nowadays..."
"Are they going to discuss business or to fall in love?"
Shen Zelan glanced at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "Boss Di, Artemis asked me to ask you, what happened to those two guys that she and I taught a lesson to before the friendly match last night? "
"!" She suddenly asked about last night, and Dillon instantly woke up. He didn't care about who was the real boss and quickly confessed, "Those two idiots offended Artemis, so naturally they will be broken off and thrown into the mountains to feed the dogs!"
"Calculating the time, it should have been gnawed down to the bone by now!"
"Boss Shen, please tell Yue Shen to calm her down! Don't let such a small matter affect your mood!"
Shen Zelan handed the empty wine glass to the waiter closest to her and said leisurely, "I didn't realize that Boss Di is quite resourceful."
Dillon smiled apologetically and said, "Boss Shen, what are you and Yueshen talking about? I'm just a small ..."
But at this moment, Shen Zelan suddenly raised her hand, which meant that he should shut up quickly.
Dillon didn't understand what was going on, but he still kept silent obediently.
Without the distraction of the voices, Shen Zelan immediately tensed up and looked around.
The scene was brightly lit, guests were chatting in a friendly manner, waiters were moving briskly, a performance team was dancing to the music, and the audience was occasionally clapping and cheering...
Everything seemed to be the same as before.
...Could it be that she was really hallucinating?
Dillon looked around confusedly, but couldn't understand. "Boss Shen, what's going on? This is...?"
Shen Zelan hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on his own judgment: "Tell your people to cheer up and don't be lazy."
"There's a 'water ghost' in the boat."
"?!" Dillon was struck by lightning. Before he could even shout "What?!", he saw Shen Zelan walking quickly in the direction Jiang Siyue had left, and disappeared behind the champagne tower in the blink of an eye.
……
Meanwhile, the upper casino.
In the center of the venue, six players sat in a row around an oval green velvet gambling table, surrounded by spectators who came to join in the fun.
"Boss Yue is a newbie?" The player at the gun position, with a cigar between his fingers, asked Jiang Siyue, who had just joined the game at the dealer position, in a frivolous tone.
"Almost, this is our third time playing," Jiang Siyue looked back calmly, "I heard that Master Zhou hasn't lost tonight yet?"
Zhou Shiyan pretended to be calm and put out the cigarette butt. His movements were smooth and reasonable, and it was impossible to tell that he was frightened by the subtle look of the boss opposite him.
"I'm just lucky." He smiled modestly, his eyes sweeping over He Lun who was standing beside Jiang Siyue with his arms folded across his chest, but he couldn't help but grind his back teeth secretly.
"Oh? Really?" Jiang Siyue responded indifferently, with a somewhat subtle expression.
Their original plan was to split into two groups: one to knock out Helen, and the other to wait to be knocked out by Helen's men who might appear.
This is so simple and crude that you can not only find out who the "mastermind" is, but also not worry about the other party taking advantage of you.
But now, the three of them had mistakenly entered the same situation.
What's even more eye-catching is that she also caught Zhou Shiyan smoking (pretending), and Zhou Shiyan even caught her and the "mistress" on the spot - although it was also fake.
It has to be said that when the couple tacitly started plan B, they both felt extremely complicated.
However, the other players on the field did not smell the unusual atmosphere between the two of them, and they were all eagerly waiting to challenge the "God of Gamblers".
Zhou Shiyan also resisted the urge to answer his wife, and looked away indifferently at the dealer: "Let's start."
The dealer nodded immediately and began his usual opening remarks: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Abyss Casino."
"This table game: No-Limit Texas Hold'em."
