Alpha Predator - Chapter 12

[top predator]

Shen Dai was restless all morning because of Uncle Heng’s words in the morning.

In fact, many things do not need to be pointed out, he knows it well, but people will deceive themselves, bargain, avoid, get lucky, and make reason and sensibility endlessly battle between heaven and man.

He must be more restrained, at least he shouldn’t be Qu Moyu’s “trouble”.

A junior sister came over and interrupted Shen Dai’s depression: “Senior Brother Shen, the teacher asked you to go to the office.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Professor Liu Xi is one of the most influential experts in the field of international rare earth research. Dai’s mentor, under his leadership, Shen Dai was able to be selected into the talent plan and entered Xingzhou, the top rare earth research institute in China. What Shen Dai admired the most was not only his contribution to the academic world, but also because he was a beta who had broken through the alphas.

“Teacher.” Shen Dai entered the office and picked up Liu Xi’s teacup, “How many times have I told you not to make such a strong tea, it’s not good for your health, and you use it to water flowers all day long, raising a pot to die.”

“Bland is not enough.” Liu Xi pulled out a manuscript from a pile of documents. “The materials for the investor meeting are well written.”

Shen Dai smiled and said, “Thank you, teacher.”

“It happened that you wrote this. Come back and speak for me.”

“Huh?”

Liu Xi said disgustedly: “These people, the meeting time has been changed for the third time, and my air ticket has been changed again and again, and the mine in South Africa has not been completed until now. , I can’t wait any longer, I’m leaving tomorrow, I told them, go to the meeting on my behalf.”

Shen Dai was a little dumbfounded: “Isn’t that the beginning of next month?”

“Yeah, you do research every day, and still What do we need to prepare? You have attended the meeting before, so just talk about our results and future plans, but many of them don’t understand it.”

The so-called investor meeting is an annual report on the work of the senior management, major shareholders and shareholder representatives of the group. Their group receives hundreds of millions of funds every year, and they have to let the payers know what they have done. This is a very important Meeting.

This means that Qu Moyu, the CEO, will definitely attend.

Shen Dai said helplessly: “Teacher, your heart is too big. This is an investor meeting. If they ask me some tricky questions, aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to bear it? They may not understand rare earths, but they understand financial reports. Ah.”

“We have achieved results this year. If we have results, we will have confidence. What are you afraid of.” Liu Xi patted the table with a firm look in his eyes. Let’s see the tricks, it’s ok if there are no major problems, the above told me that I won’t cut the budget this year, so I dare to leave.” “…Okay, when will you come back.” Shen Dai intuitively said this. It’s not that easy to close. In the investment stage, investors often deliberately throw out some problems, which can be regarded as a kind of psychological compensation. It is still a sound when money is thrown into the water. There are many cases where scientific research has not yielded results for ten or eight years. “I don’t know, this mine has no proven reserves yet, but the content of neodymium and dysprosium are not low. I may have to stay for a while. Your brothers and sisters are squatting in Gansu again. I’ll leave it to you and Zimei for the time being.” “Okay, don’t worry, teacher.” In order to prepare for the speech, Shen Dai has been working overtime until late these days, which is more nervous than his thesis defense. If the defense is screwed up, it’s just his own business, but if the investors screw up, it will drag down the whole team. The project team, although the teacher made him relax, he did not dare to neglect at all. One night, Shen Dai and Qu Moyu came home at the same time – since that day, the two have not seen each other again. Shen Dai nodded in greeting: “Mr. Qu is good.” He thought that Qu Moyu wouldn’t mention that trivial dish, neither would he, just pretend that nothing happened, no matter what he said when he was drunk or after sobering up. Self-motivated. “Come back so late, do you work overtime?” Qu Moyu asked casually. “Yes, I have been working a lot of overtime recently.”

“I heard that the investor will ask Professor Liu to give you a speech.”

“Yes, the teacher is in a hurry to go to South Africa for prospecting.” Shen Dai joked, “I’m very nervous, please raise your hand, Mr. Qu.”

“You have to face it. Not only me, but also senior executives, shareholders and shareholder representatives.” Qu Moyu looked down at Shen Dai, “Be prepared, don’t be stage fright, just say anything, I will greet them.”

“Thank you . Mr. Qu.” Shen Dai’s heart warmed, Qu Moyu is so perfect, it is impossible to like him. It is not Qu Moyu’s shortcomings, but his.

“The subject of your group is the most promising in the research institute. The board of directors is very optimistic and will not cut your budget. If the prospecting in South Africa goes well, it may be added.”

Shen Dai said happily: “That’s great. Mine is very confident.”

Qu Moyu nodded: “Let’s rest early.”

Shen Dai said softly, “Good night.” As soon as these two words were uttered, his heart was filled with sweet and sour. Good night is different from good morning. When you go to school or work, you always say good morning to people, but the people who say good night are usually close people, so these two words are endowed with a hazy ambiguity.

For the first time, I said goodnight to Qu Moyu in an open and honest way.

When he got home on the weekend, Shen Dai brought some vegetables and daily necessities as usual, but as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere at home was not right. Grandma was sitting on the sofa waiting for him, her face tense.

“Grandma, I didn’t cook, so I’ll do it.”

“Don’t worry.” Grandma patted the seat next to her, “Come here, let’s talk.”

Shen Dai knew that he couldn’t escape this hurdle. For a moment, decide to tell the truth.

“Where did you get so much money to pay off the debt all of a sudden?” Grandma had an unbelievable expression, “I thought it was a liar when I got the call. The last time you took me to see a doctor, you said you took a A bonus, how can you get such a high bonus.”

“Grandma, don’t worry, let’s talk slowly.”

Grandma took a deep breath: “Okay, we can talk slowly, but you have to tell me the truth.”

Shen Dai nodded: “I won’t tell you, I just don’t know how to speak, and I’m afraid you will get angry.”

“You, Is your money right?” Grandma clasped her hands nervously.

“Don’t worry, it’s absolutely right.” Shen Dai said hurriedly, “Don’t think about it, in fact, this money was… given to me by the You family.”

Grandma’s eyes widened, and she suddenly became fierce: “The You family?!” She Hate You Xinghai to the bone, because You Xinghai ruined her son.

“Grandma.” Shen Dai held her grandmother’s hand and said softly, “Will you listen to me?”

Grandma lowered her head slowly, her chest was still heaving vigorously: “Why did the You family give you money, so much Money, it’s impossible, why?”

“The reason may sound unbelievable, but it’s true.” Shen Dai briefly recounted the fact that he needed to fulfill the marriage contract for You Baiyue, but withheld Qu Moyu’s name.

Grandma was silent for a long time, grabbing Shen Dai’s hand to the point of pain, but couldn’t say a word for a long time. After a long while, she quietly shed tears.

Shen Dai’s heart also twitched, and he wiped his grandma’s tears lightly: “Grandma, I know you don’t want me to have any relationship with the You family, and I never thought of looking for him, but we do I need money, and this cooperation has not hurt me. I go to work and live as usual, and I can still pay off my debts. With the remaining money, I can buy a house and treat you. This money has helped us a lot.”

“I know.” Grandma choked, “I just know, it’s uncomfortable. You shouldn’t have to bear these things. Your father has become like that. Of course, that scum is hateful. Your grandfather and I have bad upbringing, but you are the most innocent. Yes, I want you to make money to support your family, and I want you to use your life to pay off your debts, which delays everything for you.”

“Don’t delay, it won’t take long for us to dissolve the marriage relationship. When their cooperation is completed, it should be very soon.” Shen Dai forced a smile, “Grandma, think for the best, this is a good thing. The You family has been getting worse and worse over the past few years, and the son still doesn’t let him worry, we took his money again, and saw his unlucky appearance, how happy.”

“He gave you ten million, so A large sum of money, is it really just for you to get a marriage certificate?” Grandma said worriedly, “What kind of beast is You Xinghai, I’m really worried that he has other plans.”

“No, He came to me because he was desperate, and now that I have the money and spent it, what can he do to me.”

Grandma shook her head with a sad face: “I hope so. Then your… the person who married you, Who is it, and how do you treat you?”

“I’m a stranger, I haven’t seen each other a few times, so be polite.” Shen Dai stroked her grandmother’s thin back, “Our cooperation will definitely not be long, wait. After the matter is done and the divorce is over, I only have multiple marriage histories, so it’s just a small price, but it can be exchanged for us to live a normal life, isn’t it a good deal?” Although the first part of this sentence is a lie, the latter part But the truth is that the contract says five years, which is to fully protect the interests of Qu Moyu. In fact, it can’t take that long. Before long, the only false connection between him and Qu Moyu will be. will disappear.

Grandma sighed: “You must never get too close to the You family.”

Shen Dai thought of You Baiyue, and for some reason Qu Chengchen, he frowned slightly: “No.”

“Then… The grandmother seemed to hesitate, “Then you get married, although it is a cooperation, but will people want you…”

Shen Dai immediately understood her grandma’s indescribable words: “No, I said it all, I haven’t seen it before.” A few times, no business and no contact.”

Grandma then breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good, that’s good, Omega is the easiest to lose, no matter what you do, you have to be measured, think about your father’s lesson from the past. .”

Shen Dai’s eyes darkened, no one understood better than him, because he was the price of making mistakes, and he was forced to use his life to bear the consequences of mistakes that were not his, he said solemnly: “I understand. ”
