Defeat magic with science

Zhou Yan was very efficient and focused when he was busy. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he was so hungry that he suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Luo Futu for a long time.Usually, he always stays by his side. Although he doesn't disturb his work, he also stays where he can be seen at a glance.Because he wanted to be his own bodyguard, and if he was too far away, if an Alpha wanted to plot against him, it would be too late to save him.

I didn't see him much this morning. Could it be that he was really concentrating on making the employee handbook?

"Zhou Gong, do you think it's okay to do this?"

Li Qing's voice interrupted Zhou Yan's thoughts. He came back to his senses and glanced at the blueprint for making the parts: "Okay, it's so late, let's take everyone to dinner first."

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "Alright, Mr. Zhou didn't eat, right? How do you plan to settle for lunch?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yan also hesitated, he didn't think about it at all: "I'm with you."

"It's not appropriate."

As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, a voice suddenly came in and interrupted his words. Zhou Yan looked up and saw Gabriel standing in front of him with a rice basket in his hand. I don't know when he came , Seeing Zhou Yan noticed him, he said: "The kitchen is turned off at this time, and it takes a long time to restart the stove. I just want to have afternoon tea, so you can eat with me."

Unexpectedly, Gabriel would come to the mine, Zhou Yan felt a little surprised, he did not immediately agree to Gabriel's proposal - he seemed a little unhappy when he drove Luo Futu away in the morning, and did not have dinner together at noon, Zhou Yan was still thinking about whether to go to him or not.

Seeing that Zhou Yan refused to agree, Gabriel was a little unhappy, and raised his chin arrogantly: "Why, you still despise me?"

Zhou Yan hesitated, and immediately said: "How could that be?"

——The one in front of him is the largest shareholder of their cooperation, and even the mining factory is owned by this guy, so why should he be upset about this kind of thing.According to Zhou Yan's observation, Gabriel is very childish most of the time, and he has a good face, so he can't be offended by a meal.

"Then let's eat together."

——As for Luo Futu...he said that he is a spiritual master and doesn't need to eat, so let's ignore him for the time being

Zhou Yan found a flat place to sit down, and Gabriel was sitting next to him. Zhou Yan wanted to pull Li Qing to join them, but when he turned around, Li Qing disappeared, leaving only Gabriel and himself eat together.Gabriel took out a whole set of exquisite gold-rimmed and painted porcelain tea sets from the basket. Zhou Yan saw it. Although his face remained expressionless, he couldn't help sighing silently in his heart. Under social productivity, such a beautiful cup should be very expensive.

"But why do you have time to come here? Don't you dislike mines?"

Gabriel picked up the teapot and poured a cup of black tea for Zhou Yan, and hummed softly, "I am also the owner of this mine anyway, if you can keep an eye on it all day, so can I."

Others mentioned that Gabriel's first reaction was a nouveau riche and a dandy, but in fact, he is quite well-bred and understands some delicate temperament.Watching him pour tea, Zhou Yan couldn't help but think of Luo Futu. Luo Futu is the high priest, and his aristocratic airs should be stronger than Gabriel's, but he has never paid attention to him in front of him.Ask him next time what it looks like to be particular about it.

"Besides, I heard that someone made trouble a while ago, and it bothered you? Next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't save me face. If you have to evict someone, just evict him."

——He clearly saw this incident with his own eyes. Gabriel peeked at Zhou Yan for a long time, almost watching the whole thing, but now he deliberately said "I heard" when he said it, trying to hide his little thoughts, but he couldn't hide it properly .

Zhou Yan thought for a while before realizing that what he was talking about was about Chen Qian and Sun Tian, ​​and he subconsciously frowned: "The conflict between Chen Qian and Sun Tian has been resolved, these are trivial matters, and it is inevitable to encounter them, don't take them lightly. Push people away. And in the follow-up work, these two people cooperate quite well, they are both very good at forging, and their work efficiency is very high. Don't make strange decisions."

Gabriel curled his lips: "I didn't do anything to them, it might scare you."

Zhou Yan then slowly stretched his brows, and Gabriel handed a cup of tea to Zhou Yan, puzzled: "But I still don't understand why you are so nice to these people, it's really troublesome. They are just ordinary people. It’s just miners, and these people are the most indispensable now.”

If Gabriel was from Miyun Planet and said such things in front of Zhou Yan, he would have been sentenced to death directly on the road of collaborators, but fortunately he is a native of the Yujin Continent, although Low, Zhou Yan still tolerated him.He finally took a sip of the black tea that Gabriel poured for him, and the rich tea fragrance filled his mouth in an instant, refreshing, and the tip of his tongue was full of the taste of money.

Zhou Yan considered for a while, and said: "If I remember correctly, you want to be a hero."

Gabriel glanced at him suspiciously, but when he thought of the embarrassing incident that happened when he met Zhou Yanchu, he was a little unhappy: "I said, that incident was an accident, and I don't know that I didn't kill the monster. , why are you holding on to this matter?"

Zhou Yan laughed and said, "I don't want to criticize you for lying, but I just want to ask you, do you want to be a hero?"

Gabriel looked at him suspiciously: "Think about it, so what."

"Which hero in the world would treat ordinary people with the attitude you have."

Gabriel gave him a surprised look: "What does being a hero have to do with my attitude towards them?"

Zhou Yan sighed in his heart: "Then why do you want to be a hero? What does a hero look like in your eyes?"

Gabriel blurted out: "Naturally, it is admired by thousands of people, and everyone responds to it, and the scenery is infinite."

Zhou Yan was not surprised that he would give such an answer, which was in line with the reverie of all ignorant teenagers about "heroes".Zhou Yan looked at him with a smile: "But what you said, you already have it now."

Gabriel froze for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Look, you are the owner of the iron ore factory. You can decide whether a miner will stay or stay at will. You are feared by the people under your hands. It can be said that you are the richest man here. You have a status that others can't match, and you can afford food and clothing. To be envied by others can be regarded as infinite. Why do you still want to be a hero?"

After hearing this, Gabriel was a little stunned. He felt that it was impossible to refute what Zhou Yan said, but he also felt that what he said was wrong.

He was silent for a long time before saying: "They are afraid of me because of the wealth in my hands, but this is not what I want... This is my father's thing, I don't want them to be in awe of me because of my father."

Zhou Yan looked at him in surprise: "So you understand."

Gabriel frowned at him, took a bite out of a biscuit from the plate, but looked like he couldn't eat it: "Of course I understand, in fact, I have nothing if I leave my father. I want to break out my own business."

Gabriel really spoke the truth, and he did not shy away from letting others know that he agreed to sign the contract with Zhou Yan at that time, partly because he was afraid that Luo Futu would reveal his secret of misusing Lu Lian’s body to promote himself. Part of the reason was that he was attracted by what Zhou Yan and Luo Futu were doing, and he really wanted to see what they were going to do.

Zhou Yan smiled when he heard the words: "Then you chose to be a hero?"

Gabriel looked at him and nodded vigorously: "According to my observation, being a hero is the easiest of all things. You pay less and get more rewards, so I want to be a hero."

"I see you are a businessman."

Zhou Yan interrupted his fantasy: "Why do you think it's easy to become a hero? Who told you?"

Gabriel took it for granted: "Do you need someone else to tell me? This is what I saw. When I was a child, I once met a strong man who killed a beast and carried it through the streets. Everyone cheered for him. Isn't this a hero? Is it? I used to think it was great, it was because I was young, and now I am a healer, killing a beast is so easy... But there is no chance. But now although there are no beasts, there are monsters, as long as I can Killing the Lu Lian you mentioned will definitely become a hero and be admired by all people."

After hearing this, Zhou Yan looked at him silently for a while, not knowing how to break his simple dream of a hero.It is said that Gabriel is naive, and his views on heroes are too simple and rude, and it is said that he is trying to gain fame, but his starting point is so innocent and pure that it makes people laugh.

It's difficult.

Zhou Yan sighed deeply: "I don't know how to explain it to you... This is actually the most difficult thing to do. People's hearts are against each other, and it's hard to predict. In fact, ordinary people have high expectations for heroes. You did something Great things will be admired by everyone, so they start to expect you to be great and protect them all the time, once you fail to meet their expectations, the result will be miserable."

Gabriel was fascinated by this, and subconsciously asked, "How miserable?"

"Being forgotten is the best ending. If it is a little more serious, it will even change from being admired by thousands of people to being reviled by thousands of people. For heroes, mediocrity is the original sin."

Gabriel is very confident: "Then it's okay if I'm not mediocre all the time? Now that the news of World of Warcraft has spread all over the world, are you afraid that I won't be given a chance to be a hero?"

——He originally wanted to directly reveal the list and go to the place announced by the government to kill a few monsters, but his father disagreed.Zhou Yan said that the purpose of making mechas is to kill monsters, and he is willing to follow him for the time being.

"..."

Zhou Yan was silent for a moment: "Forget it...you haven't experienced it, and you can't understand it. Now for you, the most important thing to understand is, do you really want to be a hero? Are you really willing to use your life to protect The interests of these ordinary people? You clearly look down on them, why are you willing to work hard for them?"

Hearing the words, Gabriel raised his head slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "I haven't thought about it, maybe I should think about it."

Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing: "Then think about it slowly, I'll go back first."

Bailie didn't respond. He was still thinking about his dream of being a hero, so Zhou Yan shook his head and got up to leave—this kid didn't have bad intentions, but his thoughts were too naive. It's a good thing that he is willing to think now.

After Zhou Yan returned to the room, Luo Futu was writing something at the desk with his head propped on one hand. The light was dim, and against his expressionless face, it looked like it was carved out of white jade.Zhou Yan glanced at the corner inadvertently, and was surprised to see Mu Lian squatting there in disgrace, with two bloods on his nose, as if he had just been beaten.Zhou Yan didn't make a sound, and I don't know what conflict happened between the master and servant, but from the surface, it seems that Luo Futu beat her...

——After getting along these days, Zhou Yan already knows that Mu Lian is Luo Futu's attendant, and the two seem to have signed some kind of contract, and Mu Lian is similar to Shikigami.I don't know if it's because I really can't feel the improper relationship between the two of them, or because I don't care at all, in short... Now Zhou Yan has completely adapted to the existence of Mu Lian.

But why did Luo Futu beat people again?

Zhou Yan didn't speak, walked to him quietly, looked down at the case of Luo Futu, and saw a half-written employee handbook under his hand, Zhou Yan thought he had guessed something—maybe it was Because this manual is in a state of desperation, did you vent your anger on your subordinates?

He himself would become irritable when he failed to achieve results when tackling difficult problems in the past. Zhou Yan can still understand Luo Futu.So he sat gently beside Luo Futu, and said softly, "What's the matter? Have you encountered a problem?"

As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, Luo Futu heard a female voice screaming in his sea of ​​consciousness: "High Priest High Priest! Look! You are right!"

--To shut up!

Luo Futu roared in the sea of ​​consciousness, and Mu Lian's voice disappeared immediately. Then he raised his head and gave Zhou Yan a cold look: "It's okay, this matter won't bother me."

——Long before Zhou Yan entered the door, Luo Futu had maintained this posture for a long time. He had been waiting, waiting for Zhou Yan to come in and show him this good show.Luo Futu was angry with Mu Lian not because he couldn't compile the employee handbook, but because he sent Mu Lian several times to investigate what Zhou Yan was doing. Talk about the truth of life.

"Didn't you say that Zhou Yan would find out if I changed my previous enthusiastic attitude? He's gone to find someone else now."

Luo Futu was so angry that his whole aura swelled twice. When he stood in front of Mu Lian with such a deadpan expression, the latter thought he was going to die.She hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak, Luo Futu's eyes glowed green, and his black hair fluttered in the air, "Two minutes, if he doesn't come to me again, you know what will happen to you."

Mu Lian cried and held his little heart: "High Priest, don't worry... Maybe he is extra calm? Falling in love is a game, you compromise first and you lose."

——What's more, it is still unclear whether Zhou Yan has discovered that he has disappeared. Maybe he didn't even realize that he was treated coldly by his high priest.

Of course, Mu Lian dared not say all kinds of words, she was afraid of being beaten to death by Luo Futu on the spot.

"Oh? If he was pried into the corner by Gabriel's stinky cucumber, how are you going to compensate me?"

Mu Lian trembled with his lips for a while, then said coyly: "According to my family's experience, this kind of situation shouldn't happen...and you marked him, you definitely won't run away."

When Luo Futu heard this, his face turned black for a while, and Mu Lian was shocked: "Not yet marked?!"

"..."

He wanted to, but Zhou Yan disagreed with life and death. He was afraid that Zhou Yan would be blacklisted by Zhou Yan, and the two of them would inevitably enter another ghost ending, or he would interrupt Zhou Yan to the end and lock him up. , or Zhou Yan runs away completely, no matter which possibility is, it is a dead end situation.

Luo Futu didn't want to become like this.

Mu Lian was shocked, she didn't expect Luo Futu to be so...indecisive.

"High Priest, wait a little longer, you should have confidence in your own charm. And it's not that Zhou Yan is not interested in you, it's just that he lacks a sense of crisis~"

——Fuck the sense of crisis, the one who has the sense of crisis now is myself!

Of course, Zhou Yan didn't know all this, and Luo Futu was extremely cold, I just thought he was troubled by the employee handbook.After all, this is helping him with his work. In the morning, he was angry with him, so Zhou Yan leaned over to take a look: "If you encounter any problems, please tell me, and I will see if I can help you."

Seeing this, Mu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said to Luo Futu in the sea of ​​consciousness: "High Priest, look, it still has an effect."

Luo Futu snorted coldly: "Get out of here."

Mu Lian disappeared into the spot with a "hush".

Luo Futu looked at Zhou Yan who seemed to have turned his attitude 180 degrees in front of him, and began to mutter in his heart, could this method really work?He can't say for sure, but it is definitely inappropriate to say that there is no effect at all. Maybe it really needs to be relaxed, so that Zhou Yan can realize his importance.

So facing Zhou Yan's cold and warm questioning, Luo Futu just looked at him indifferently: "It's okay, I can't handle this trivial matter well, how can I cooperate with you."

Zhou Yan stared at his face for a while, then smiled slightly: "Okay, then I can rest assured."

——It's not that he didn't notice Luo Futu's alienation from him, but Zhou Yan attributed it to being too busy with work and he was too tired. Sometimes he was too tired and didn't want to talk, so he didn't allow others to have a temper.

Luo Futu hasn't noticed anything unusual until now, he hasn't felt Zhou Yan's enthusiasm, nor has he felt his discomfort, and now he has begun to doubt whether Mu Lian's method is useful.

"By the way, I haven't eaten yet, do you want to come with me?"

Zhou Yan suddenly thought of something, and said with some enthusiasm: "Also, tonight is actually the Chinese New Year in our place, do you want to celebrate it with me?"

Chinese New Year?What is the Spring Festival in the calendar...Luo Futu has never heard of it, but according to him, this should be a festival that his "hometown" will celebrate.

But Mu Lian told him that he couldn't always agree to the other party's invitation, otherwise he would appear disrespectful.So he thought about it, shook his head and refused: "No, I have something tonight."

"..."

Zhou Yan was stunned suddenly, and he frowned first: "What are you busy with?"

Luo Futu thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what he was busy with. He finally picked up the manual on the table: "Write this, I want to finish it as soon as possible."

Zhou Yan watched him silent for a long time, then lowered his head: "Then you should be busy... I'll leave first, I forgot, you are a spiritual master, you don't need to eat New Year's Eve dinner."

"..."

Watching Zhou Yan leave the room, Luo Futu always felt that something was wrong, but Mu Lian said that short-term discomfort is a process that must be experienced-in fact, he really wants to agree to Zhou Yan's invitation, he doesn't care about this shitty employee handbook , How could you reject him for this thing?

Luo Futu sat there for a long time, and naturally he couldn't write anything down. He suddenly called Mu Lian in the sea of ​​consciousness, and told her what happened just now: "Why do I think I shouldn't refuse? His expression just now is not good. Great."

Mu Lian almost spit out a mouthful of blood: "Prince, high priest, I said that it is an ordinary date that I can refuse!"

"what about now?"

"...Obviously not ordinary. Although the slave family doesn't know what a New Year's Eve dinner is, it sounds like a very important festival."

"..."

Luo Futu stood up all of a sudden, gritted his teeth and asked: "Then what should we do!"

Mu Lian didn't dare to speak anymore, she never thought that her wise and powerful spirit master would be so good at falling in love!

Luo Futu didn't get a response for a long time, he was so angry that he was about to smoke, he hurriedly walked outside the house, wishing he could strangle Mu Lian to death in the sea of ​​consciousness: "You are dead."

"Ah! Don't! I didn't do it on purpose! In short... let's catch up first, and then... adapt to the situation..."

——I hope they don't break up!She doesn't want to be skinned and stewed with snake soup by the high priest!
