Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The arrival of Han, Li, and Tong caused a ripple in the "Science and Technology Expo" which had been going smoothly for Zhou Rui.

At this time, Zhou Weigang's importance was reflected. With an elder present, the situation would at least not fall into a pure Shura field.

Zhou Weigang: "Why don't you go shopping first? I have some work to do in the Huawei exhibition area."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "No, you don't."

Zhou Weigang: ? ? ?

With Zhou Weigang as a shield, the theme of "viewing the exhibition" was barely maintained, and it did not suddenly become a strange project. Several people spent several hours just visiting the "Fu Rui Pavilion".

In the Kaiming Intelligent Exhibition Area, Han Ziyin became interested in the small robot that could imitate any action. Che Gan, who had been at this special booth, recognized the boss lady and hurried over to say hello.

Han Ziyin chatted with Che Gan for a few words. Che Gan didn't know whether he should say "intelligent mechanical life" and looked at Zhou Rui for help.

Zhou Rui smiled and explained in a low voice: "This is the same as the small shower, it is a special smart device, and his booth is just for fun."

Han Ziyin was a little surprised: "Same as the small shower? That's still quite special. I also said that if it is a new product, I will buy one to accompany the small shower."

Zhou Rui thought, forget it, these two characters are not compatible, they can tear down the house

The imagined "Shura Field" did not appear, and the various booths distracted everyone's attention, or the backbone Han Ziyin had no time to take care of other things, so everyone's mind was more stable.

Han Ziyin has always been like this, very powerful and opinionated. No matter who she is with, she will not ignore this tall, cold, and unique girl.

Even with Zhou Rui.

Just like you may ignore the vines at the foot of a towering tree, but you will not ignore another tree next to the towering tree.

Even if it is not so tall and strong.

Perhaps Zhou Rui didn't realize that Han Ziyin had become the backbone of the family.

And this concept of "backbone" was recognized not only by Zhou Rui, but also by Li Wenqian.

Even Tong Xin, Gan Yuan, and even the four elders of the two families, as well as many people in Furui Group.

Han Ziyin was still somewhat recognizable in Furui Group. She was recognized as the "boss lady" by many people. Even Marcus came to greet her formally and gave her enough face.

The respect she received here did not even come entirely from Zhou Rui.

But as time went by, in the second half of the exhibition, Zhou Rui clearly felt that Han Ziyin was a little absent-minded, as if she had something on her mind.

This made Zhou Rui's alarm bells ring, Li Wenqian's playfulness faded, Tong Xin felt uneasy, and even Zhou Weigang spoke less. I don't know what made this good daughter-in-law unhappy.

The whole team's morale dropped a few points.

Finally, it was night, and the exhibition tour ended. The group left the exhibition area together and said goodbye to each other.

Zhou Weigang can no longer be a "shield". On the one hand, Hua Wei and Apple have a dinner meeting, and he has to attend.

On the other hand, can I be a shield and block them all the way to the hotel room?

I can only help you up to this point..

Zhou Weigang did his best during the day. He accompanied the young people for a whole day. His feet were swollen. His WeChat steps were at least 20,000. When they met for dinner, Ku Ke thought he was lame!

Without Zhou Weigang, Zhou Rui could only be more cautious and made the most conservative suggestion: everyone should go back to the hotel to rest.

Han Ziyin still looked worried. If it were usual, Zhou Rui would take the initiative to care about her, but now.

It's better not to force it when there is no firecracker.

Getting on the Hongqi N501, everyone headed for the downtown hotel. In the car, Li Wenqian enthusiastically introduced the decoration of the car to Tong Xin. Tong Xin could only pretend that it was her first time to ride it and exclaimed many times.

The car stopped and as soon as it entered the hotel gate, Gan Yuan and Mia were waiting.

Gan Yuan came up with Mia: "Boss, this is the room card. Ms. Tong can just go to the front desk to register. Your room has been cleaned."

The word "cleaned" is quite important.

She rushed back and cleaned up all her things. She also supervised the whole process of cleaning. She even moved the bed away to check if there were any missing rose petals.

How much effort was put into arranging the chopping board yesterday? How much effort was put into cleaning today

As for Mia, she was just a shield to make herself look less embarrassed.

The room card was handed to Tong Xin, but Tong Xin did not take it. Instead, she looked at Han Ziyin.

This person did not speak. She did not know how to deal with it. She had to listen to Ziyin's arrangements.

She didn't even go to see Zhou Rui

Han Ziyin came back to her senses, took the room card for Tong Xin, and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gan. How can I trouble you with such a small matter? Zhou Rui is always like this, always leaving the trivial matters of life to you as the CEO."

Gan Yuan said with a guilty conscience: "Dr. Han, you are too serious. I work for Mr. Zhou, and I am used to it."

In the strange atmosphere, several people first went back to their rooms to rest for a while, and then had a tasteless dinner in the hotel restaurant, and finally went back to their rooms to prepare for bed.

It should be that Li Wenqian was really tired from visiting the exhibition during the day. After returning to the room, she fell asleep on the bed without taking a shower.

Zhou Rui patted the little girl's buttocks. Seeing that she didn't respond, he smiled helplessly, took off her shoes for her, and covered her with a quilt.

He left the master bedroom quietly, but didn't find Han Ziyin. He walked around the three-bedroom and two-living-room suite, and finally found Han Ziyin on the balcony.

Sitting on the same recliner he used yesterday, staring into the distance in a daze.

Zhou Rui looked at Han Ziyin silently for several minutes through the glass. He probably knew how cold it was outside, but Han Ziyin remained motionless.

Zhou Rui sighed. Last time he wanted to talk about it, but Han Ziyin said it wasn't the right time yet.

This time, maybe it’s not a good time

But... he felt distressed.

Zhou Rui didn't want to see Ziyin so depressed and sad, with many worries.

He may be a little greedy, but he is not a scumbag, nor is he heartless.

This pressure and sadness should have been borne by a greedy person like him.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Rui took a deep breath, gently knocked on the glass door and came to the balcony.

Han Ziyin still made no move.

Zhou Rui sat next to Han Ziyin and looked forward along with her gaze, but didn't find anything: "What are you thinking about?"

Han Ziyin finally responded, first shaking her head, and then nodding.

Silently, he placed a pair of slender legs on the rocking chair, hugging his knees, and buried his chin between his knees.

She would still feel cold after all.

"Zhou Rui, let me ask you a question. If it's convenient, please answer me truthfully."

Zhou Rui pursed his lips, but still said firmly: "You say it."

"Are you..."

Halfway through the words, Han Ziyin swallowed them back, seeming to be looking for suitable rhetoric.

Zhou Rui had already made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Yes."

Han Ziyin turned around, a little surprised and a little confused: "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Zhou Rui nodded slowly, his tone getting deeper and deeper: "I know."

Han Ziyin was silent for a moment, assuming that the two of them had reached a tacit understanding: "There are a few."

Zhou Rui's voice was a little nervous: "Three three"

Han Ziyin pressed her thumb gently on her lips, seemingly surprised: "So few?"

Zhou Rui quickly said: "No, it's already too much."

Han Ziyin tilted her head: "There will be more in the future, right? There are only three, which doesn't seem like your style."

Zhou Rui felt extremely insulted and wished he could prove to himself: I, Zhou, am an upright person, and there are really only three other people besides you!

"No. Never more, that's my promise."

Han Ziyin's face turned serious: "So serious? Are there any strong side effects?"

Side effects?

"Wait, what are we talking about?"

"The recipient of Compound No. 2."

Zhou Rui:? ? ?

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Han Ziyin rolled her eyes and said, "I told you that you knew how to answer the question. Then I'll ask you again, have you started using Compound No. 2 on people?"

Zhou Rui's throat was as dry as if he had eaten cinnamon powder: "Ahem! Yes."

"How many people are there?"

"Three or three."

Han Ziyin: "Three too?"

"That's right. No, there are three anyway."

Han Ziyin pointed her finger and said: "Che Gan counts as one and Marcus counts as one. I don't know if my guess is right."

Zhou Rui said in surprise: "How did you guess this?"

"Marcus is because he already has a bit of a reputation as a monster in the academic world. After you announced the 'No. 2 Compound' yesterday, not only me, many people speculated that he had been injected, otherwise his exaggerated behavior would not be explained. Quantity of papers and quality of results.”

"When Che Gan was talking today, I felt that he was a little different from before. Considering that you have always been very fond of him, I just made a wild guess. Who is the other one?"

Zhou Rui confessed: "Mia, Marcus's granddaughter."

"That blonde girl? But why don't I think she's smart?"

Zhou Rui could only laugh and said: "Maybe it's because her starting point is relatively low."

Han Ziyin turned around and said solemnly: "Zhou Rui, I've been thinking about whether to open this mouth this afternoon. I kind of want to inject the 'No. 2 compound'."

Zhou Rui's expression gradually became serious: "There are currently too few examples of this technology, so it is not a good time. And the most important thing is that this is an irreversible process and a permanent transformation of the body."

He is not that hypocritical. Even if the safety of this technology has been verified, he does not want to apply it to people around him in the early stage. This is two different things from "extending life."

Han Ziyin nodded: "I understand your concerns. This is also something I have been thinking about in the afternoon. After all, it directly affects the body. I am not in a hurry. I think I will eventually want to inject compound No. 2, but before that, I may I want to have a child first.”

Zhou Rui said righteously: "What kind of child is not a child? Huh?"

His eyes grew wider and wider.

Han Ziyin said seriously: "This may disrupt my plan a little. I feel that neither I nor you, nor even Li Wenqian, are ready yet. Originally I thought it would be after the age of 30. But now maybe it's better to move forward a little earlier. Otherwise, the possibility of being affected by Compound No. 2 cannot be ruled out.”

She was so calm and had obviously been thinking about it all day.

But Zhou Rui, who had just reacted, was not so calm.

"Ah, this is not a topic that can be discussed so casually, right?"

Han Ziyin said with a little teasing: "What's wrong? Are you nervous? Don't want to be a father?"

Zhou Rui opened his mouth. It was inappropriate to answer this question whether he wanted to or not.

"I don't understand. Didn't you also say that it would disrupt the plan? Why do you have to inject compound No. 2?"

Han Ziyin smiled gently and held Zhou Rui's hand: "Because I want to catch up with you, I'm so tired. I want to be lazy and relax."

Feeling the cold temperature on his palm, Zhou Rui was filled with emotions for a moment. He held Han Ziyin's hand and tried to warm her up.

"Actually, I never think it's necessary."

Han Ziyin stretched out a finger and pressed Zhou Rui's lips, some memories seemed to flash in her eyes.

Those memories of chasing Zhou Rui, chasing after him slowly.

After reminiscing, what emerges is even more passionate love.

"I'm not chasing you for your sake. I know you don't need it."

"But this is what I need, and I'm doing it for myself."

Zhou Rui felt Han Ziyin's cold hands seem to melt into his own palms, full of emotion and warmth.

Han Ziyin changed her look to a relaxed one and said with a smile: "How is it? What do you think of my plan?"

Zhou Rui had a completely different feeling at this time. The unknown nervousness about the so-called child was no longer important.

If this was Han Ziyin's wish, he would be willing to give it a try.

"I have no objection to the matter of children, but Compound No. 2 must get my complete permission."

Han Ziyin said: "Tch~ It's as if the child doesn't need your permission."

Zhou Rui smiled and stretched, feeling that the tension of the whole day had completely dissipated.

Then I heard Han Ziyin say:

"Now let's talk about the topic just now. Who are there 'only three', and there will be 'definitely not more' in the future?"

The stretching movement froze again, and Zhou Rui felt that the tension he had felt all day had returned.

Damn it? Any reversal? !

Before she could figure out how to cover her lie, Han Ziyin was already counting on her fingers and saying:

"Tong Xin counts as one, Gan Yuan counts as one, who else is there? Did you include Wen Qian?"

"If you don't count Wen Qian, then I would think highly of you."

Zhou Rui said like a chicken pecking at rice: "Of course it counts!"

He had imagined many times the scene in which he would confess

But I never thought that I would be so "active" in confessing!

Han Ziyin examined Zhou Rui's expression, and then withdrew the fatal finger.

"Oh then I understand"

Rubbing his ankles, Han Ziyin buried his head on his knees and looked at Zhou Rui sideways.

She was not sad because she had always had a premonition.

"Then I can't control it no matter how much I control it."

Zhou Rui exhaled a breath of turbid air and suddenly wanted to find a cigarette.

Sure enough, she knew all along.

The phoenix chases the stars, hot as fire, not afraid of the world, not praying for the only one
