Chapter 595: Chapter 594: You’re Not Planning to Cultivate it Yourself, Are You?

Xiao Qimo was momentarily at a loss to describe the feeling.

It was hard to imagine that such words could come from the mouth of a twenty-year-old young woman.

While everyone else was racking their brains to save the existing Netherman, only she, a person not from the industry, proposed an idea from another angle.

And the key was that this idea was very insightful.

Moreover, she used terms like space transmission and form reconfiguration, which revealed her level of knowledge at a glance.

His dark eyes looked at her, or more precisely, surveyed her entire body.

As if trying to see through something.

Lu Mian noticed that Xiao Qimo’s expression was a bit strange and thought she might have inadvertently belittled his research team, so she prodded his shoulder gently.

“Director Qimo?

I was just talking nonsense, your team members must have ruled out this possibility from the start.

They know much more than I do, don’t take it seriously.”

“Perhaps,” Xiao Qimo gave a noncommittal answer.

As the man spoke, his cellphone in the pocket started to vibrate.

He saw it was a call from the Interpol Chief Daine and excused himself a few steps away to answer it after informing Lu Mian.

Lu Mian, taking the initiative, walked into the courtyard.

Before she had steadied herself, a young man hurriedly walked past her from behind.

Lu Mian turned to look at him and was instantly drawn to his unkempt and disheveled hair.

She smiled faintly and stepped aside to let him pass.

Unexpectedly, the man looked at her with spirited curiosity and asked, “Are you the new expert in medicinal herbology?”

Lu Mian narrowed her eyes, “I’m not.”

“Then why did you say those things just now?

I’ve never heard Group Leader Yuelu mention that theory.”

Lu Mian thought the man must have overheard her conversation with Director Qimo and asked warily, “And you are?”

The man then realized he had forgotten to introduce himself.

“I’m Dong Li, an intern in the medical group.

I haven’t seen you before, are you new here?”

“No,” Lu Mian glanced at Xiao Qimo who was on the phone in the distance and pointed with her chin, “I came with that gentleman over there.”

“So you’re Miss Lu,” Dong Li suddenly realized.

Since Xin Yuelu had instructed them, they naturally knew, “Did you discuss your ideas just now with Group Leader Yuelu?”

“Not really.

I’m not from this field, it was just a superficial impression,” Lu Mian had subconsciously thought of something from the past and that’s why she had spoken up.

But she had no experiment report, no theoretical practice, what would she discuss with others?

Besides, her words basically overturned all the current achievements of the cultivation group, so if she just brought them up without any proof, it was very likely to be ignored.

Dong Li didn’t agree but just sighed.

“I’m not involved in cultivation, but I think what you said makes sense.

The experimental progress on Group Leader Yuelu’s side is too slow.

We can’t delve deeper into our medical research, time waits for no oneaEUR|”

The words ‘time waits for no one’ struck a chord in Lu Mian’s heart.

She pursed her lips, pondering over some thoughts.

She smiled at Dong Li again and asked curiously, “If they are all in the lab, how come you are out here?”

“Oh, I took leave because of a stomach ache,” Dong Li said, and then leaned a bit closer to Lu Mian, and whispered, “I’ll tell you a secret, drink less of the farm’s milk aEUR” sometimes it expires.

Their stomachs are strong, they’re fine, but I can’t handle it…”

UhaEUR|

She finally found the reason for her sudden stomach ache today.

In the morning’s loving breakfast, she had milk, while Director Qimo had coffee.

Why does she suddenly feel like she’s facing retribution?

Lu Mian tugged at the corner of her mouth, sincerely saying, “Thank you.”

“No problem.” Dong Li prepared to return to his room and even offered Lu Mian some encouragement before leaving, “Really, I suggest you have a chat with Group Leader Yuelu about your theory just now.

It was terrific!”

Lu Mian didn’t say anything; she needed to review the experimental records first.

As she watched Dong Li leave, Xiao Qimo also called back.

He glanced at the departing man and when his gaze returned, it was quite calm.

Lu Mian held Xiao Qimo’s sleeve between her fingers, leading him to a plum blossom display.

“Director Qimo, take a look, all of these were bought for you.” Even though it was your money.

Lu Mian’s tone carried a bit of an “I have conquered this land for you” grandeur, making Xiao Qimo almost want to cry with frustrationaEUR”it was supposed to be his line!

So vexing!

Watching him caught between laughter and tears, Lu Mian’s lips curled up with a mischievous smile, laced with a hint of mocking.

“Director Qimo, you shouldn’t be allergic to pollen anymore, right?”

Man, bringing up such old news!

Xiao Qimo pushed his glasses up, coughing lightly as he explained, “About that…

it depends on the specific issue.

Understand?”

“I understand, I understand.”

Lu Mian looked down and nibbled on her broken hair.

Director Qimo really cared about his pride.

For the rest of the day, Lu Mian spent her time in Xiao Qimo’s room going through Netherman’s experimental records.

After a quick review, she was quite certain that Xin Yuelu’s team had indeed not considered the issues she had previously raised.

Which meant Director Qimo had brought them the original Netherman, and they’d simply followed suit in their research without questioning if his version was correct.

Lu Mian closed the laptop and approached the man reading on the bed, blinking with a certain motive.

Xiao Qimo’s fingers elegantly flipped through the pages.

“What’s up?”

“Director Qimo, could you help me steal two pots of Netherman from the lab?” She laid out her request bluntly.

Xiao Qimo frowned, “Steal?”

“Ah…

indeed, it’s not very honorable.

If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll try to do it myself tonight.”

She didn’t really want to do that; the system similar to IEG’s security wasn’t easy to break into.

Xiao Qimo snapped the book shut, his smile forced as he drawled, “Don’t tell me you’re planning to cultivate them yourself.”

In his schedule, taking Lu Mian to the lab and letting her understand what was going on was enough.

The rest of the time was supposed to be for just the two of them.

If she got involved in this now, what was the point of his bringing her here?

To accompany her to review data, cultivate plants, and do research?

Had she considered his feelings as a man?

“…” Lu Mian couldn’t bear it any longer, “I just want to try.

I know you’re bound by a non-disclosure agreement, which is quite inconvenient for you.

But I plan to lock the Netherman in my little room for cultivation, making sure no one else finds out.”

Xiao Qimo scoffed coldly, still disagreeing, “But you should know, that room has too many variables.

It would be even more of an issue if someone else stays there.”

Lu Mian pressed her lips together, “So, I can only rely on staying here with you for the next few days.”

This girl really is…

Xiao Qimo, hiding his dark eyes, slowly took the girl’s hands in his, shaking his head and sighing reluctantly as he spoke.

“Since it’s your strong request, I suppose I can only support you.”

Lu Mian tilted her head a little.

…Director Qimo, could you keep your mouth from turning up at the corners when you say that?
