"I did guess it, but I'm not sure if it was you."
Hearing Xia Xu's disguised admission, Yang Xiaoshuang's expression became more complicated, with both happiness and a hint of loss.
Xia Xu joked, "Why, Senior Sister, are you going to thank me for saving your life?"
"yes."
Yang Xiaoshuang put away her thoughts and smiled: "It's a pity that you are poor. You are a big boss and you should not be short of money. How about you consider marrying me?"
"Then it seems that my appearance is still worthy of recognition."
Xia Xu touched his cheek narcissistically.
"What do you mean?"
Yang Xiaoshuang was slightly stunned.
"You see, in martial arts novels, when a hero saves a beauty, if she meets a handsome knight, the beauty will say she has no way to repay him and will marry him. But if she meets a plain-looking supporting character, she will only say that she will be his slave in the next life."
Xia Xu explained with a smile, and then said: "Senior sister, you said you would pledge your love to me, isn't this an affirmation of my beauty?"
"So do you want it or not?"
Yang Xiaoshuang was joking, but it was just a joke.
She knew about Tang Youxin's affairs, and the two of them had a good relationship.
There may be a slight sense of excitement and loneliness, but she is a rational person and knows that Xia Xu is just joking.
However, Xia Xu was determined to shock people at this moment.
"Of course I want it. How could I not want a beauty like you who is both talented and pretty?"
Xia Xu's words made Yang Xiaoshuang's heart move for a moment, and even seemed to stop for a moment.
"Here, this is the number of Xinghai Biology's Human Resources Department. You can go there to complete the employment formalities at any time."
Xia Xu's smiling words brought Yang Xiaoshuang back to her senses.
"So that's what you were thinking."
Yang Xiaoshuang rolled her eyes in reproach.
"So do you want it or not, Senior?"
Xia Xu also asked a similar question with a smile.
This senior sister Yang Xiaoshuang is no ordinary person. Not only does she have a four-star talent in proteomics, she also has a complementary three-star talent in genetic engineering.
At present, the core technology that Xinghai Bio can be considered to have developed independently is the second heart, but the second heart is actually just an applied technology, and the real core is still K protein.
When it comes to the research on K protein, Yang Xiaoshuang, who is also a four-star and specializes in protein research, is obviously more adept and more suitable than Gu Haiming.
Gu Haiming mainly used K protein, but Yang Xiaoshuang was able to study the operation and synthesis mechanism of K protein more deeply, and even find a way to artificially synthesize this special protein.
Therefore, Xia Xu has been envious of this senior schoolmate for a long time.
Although we have invested in the super spider silk protein research group before, this kind of research group is essentially a school club, or at a higher level, just a research team. The two are at best a cooperative relationship, and there will be no connection after graduation or the project is terminated.
Such top talents can only be considered complete if they are truly brought under your command.
"Okay, I'll go."
Under Xia Xu's serious and scorching gaze, Yang Xiaoshuang paused for a moment, but finally accepted the business card he handed over and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I am the senior sister who is taking advantage of you. Once what happened yesterday is confirmed, people who want to join your company will probably be scrambling to get in."
“No matter how many people there are, it’s not easy to find someone like you.”
Xia Xu sneered and shook his head.
Ignoring irrelevant factors such as appearance, it is not easy to find a person with a talent as high as four stars like Yang Xiaoshuang who just happens to specialize in protein research. After all, she is standing at the top of the pyramid and is one in a million.
What's more, this senior sister Yang is an acquaintance who knows everyone well and naturally has a high degree of trust and loyalty. There is no one more suitable to take over the K protein research than her.
"Let me make it clear first. If the project of your company is too boring, I may not stay for long."
Yang Xiaoshuang took precautions rationally.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, Senior."
Xia Xu smiled slightly, then raised his arm and punched out, making a loud bang like thunder.
"This is… ?"
Yang Xiaoshuang understood something instantly and her eyes lit up slightly.
Xia Xu smiled without saying anything, and just pointed at the business card in Yang Xiaoshuang's hand that was being held between her fingers and unconsciously rotated.
"I can't wait any longer."
Yang Xiaoshuang immediately verified her guess and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Then she didn't stay here for long and soon left the activity room of the Xinghai research team.
However, the activity room did not remain quiet for long. Soon, Song Yu, Luo Lin, and Ge Qingyan came in chattering, surrounding Little White Flower.
As soon as she entered the door, Tang Youxin's concerned gaze fell on Xia Xu, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no signs of injury on his body.
She was about to say something, but Song Yu and the others came over even faster.
"Wow, Boss Xia, tell me quickly, are those images circulating on the Internet true? You wore the graphene combat suit? And you fought with a giant werewolf?"
Song Yu was the most lively one. He excitedly grabbed Xia Xu's arm and started to inquire.
"Really? Are you satisfied?"
Xia Xu rolled his eyes.
There is nothing to hide about this matter, and we may have to cooperate with special departments to make it public later.
"Really? What about the wolf giant? We want to see it!"
After getting confirmation from Xia Xu himself, Song Yu and the others became even more excited.
"Then you are too late. The monster has already been sent away."
Xia Xu shrugged: "Let's talk about it next time we have a chance."
Hearing this, Song Yu, Luo Lin and others were a little disappointed.
However, Ge Qingyan soon suggested: "Why don't you take a photo with us and put on your combat uniform."
"Yes, yes, that's right, I want to post on Space."
This suggestion immediately made Song Yu excited again: "Xia Xu, you are very popular now. I saw that people on the Internet even gave you a nickname, called the Mechanic."
"What an old-fashioned nickname."
After hearing this, Xia Xu raised his drooping eyelids and complained weakly.
"How can it be old-fashioned? I think it's very cool."
Walker Hausman on the side had a very happy face, looking proud and envious.
"Not at all. This nickname is too common and it's so childish."
Xia Xu glanced at Walker and rolled his eyes.
Of course you feel cool.
After all, you are the protagonist of "The Mechanic", so maybe this nickname was originally meant for you.
"Hey, never mind whether it's old-fashioned or not, go change your clothes quickly, we're waiting to take a picture with the mechanic."
Song Yu pushed Xia Xu to the assembly workshop where combat uniforms were stored, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, Youxin and I have prepared good news for you today. If you are slow, it will be gone."
"Well, a mechanic is a mechanic. At least he's not called a failed man."
Xia Xu sighed slightly, but did not refuse a few people. He put on his combat uniform and cooperated in taking some photos.
There are already quite a few people who photoshop their pictures to play with memes on the Internet. A few more or a few less won’t make much, so there’s nothing wrong in playing along with them.
