"What, Zhimeng escaped?" After finally getting through on the phone again, his mother-in-law was furious upon learning from her second daughter that Leng Zhimeng had fled in the dark.
"Alright Mom, don't blame Zhimeng. Zhimeng suffered greatly last time when extracting the L-cells, experiencing immense pain. Her temporary escape this time is understandable. Moreover, the doctor said that the first few L-cells extracted were very healthy and intact, and it would be no problem to cultivate several embryos. Please don't make things difficult for her anymore. Zhimeng is the one who suffered the most this time!" Leng Zhiruo quickly comforted her mother.
"Alas, I hope so! Zhimeng really took a big hit this time," her mother-in-law nodded, then sighed again.
"Now I just hope there are no problems on my brother-in-law's side!" Leng Zhiruo also chimed in.
"You child, Mom doesn't know what to say to you. Huang He is your husband, not your brother-in-law. Why can't you get past this? Are you just trying to make yourself uncomfortable?" her mother-in-law said.
"Mom, I'm not trying to make myself uncomfortable, I just like that title!" Leng Zhiruo said softly.
"Fine, I don't care what you call him, I only have one requirement, and that is that your belly must grow quickly. That little bastard will be a year old soon. By the time your child is born, the other one might already be two years old. The bigger the age gap, the more disadvantaged our grandson will be. Do you understand!" After the mother-in-law finished her earnest instruction to her idiotic daughter, she left the hospital with a sigh.
Leng Zhimeng returned to Huang He's side with a bitter smile, only to find her brother-in-law's condition seemed a bit off. His legs were completely weak, and he needed two people to support him just to walk.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong? Are you injured? That shouldn't be the case. You just had your... extracted, and I personally helped you with it. The entire process went very smoothly, how could you have gotten injured?" Looking at Huang He, who was covered in sweat, Leng Zhiruo recalled what had happened in the ward earlier. Her expression couldn't help but blush slightly, but at the same time, she asked even more curiously.
"Because these JZ cells were indeed personally extracted by Leng Zhiruo herself. At that time, her brother-in-law was still full of vigor, so why has he become so listless now?" Leng Zhiruo was too confused.
"Cough, cough, perhaps the power outage just now was a bit of a shock to me, so my condition isn't great. Anyway, don't worry about it, I'm going back to rest. You should also rest well tonight, as you have surgery in a few days. You need to be in the best condition!" Boss Huang said with a somewhat peculiar expression, and then with Leng Zhiruo's support, he got into the car and left the hospital.
About ten minutes later, under the special attention of all the hospital leaders, all the samples were immediately sent to the laboratory to begin the test-tube embryo cultivation work.
The doctor responsible for receiving the test tubes containing the samples at the embryo cultivation laboratory looked at the several test tubes handed to him with a strange expression and asked the person who delivered them, "Old He, weren't we told that a big shot was coming this time? And that all our energy and time for the past month would be dedicated to serving this one big shot? Why have you brought so many test tubes?"
"There is indeed only one person. Look, there's only one test tube for the woman!"
"Then what's with these four test tubes for men? Don't tell me this female big shot plans to try it with four men at once!"
"Cough, cough, don't let your imagination run wild. To tell you the truth, these four test tubes were all collected from a single male patient."
"Did this man come here four times in total? Is that necessary? Although they can be preserved indefinitely, after being exposed to liquid nitrogen, their vitality can never compare to fresh samples. And the medical records state that this man is completely normal, even being the highly energetic type. Just one fresh sample should be enough. Aren't you tormenting him?"
"Aren't you afraid that the big shot will react and retaliate severely against us?" this doctor grinned.
"No, these were all collected today! They are still fresh and warm!" Old He quickly replied.
"Collected today?" The doctor in the cultivation laboratory widened his eyes, showing an expression of utter disbelief.
Well, it seemed that the fact of collecting four samples in the same day was even more explosive and shocking than collecting them over four days!
"Don't look at me like that. I was just as shocked as you when I learned this fact!" Old He glared at the other person, then said with a wry smile, "Alright, I don't know what happened here either."
"You also know that there was a rare power outage this morning. The moment the power went out, the big shot's bodyguards, fearing that someone might try to attack the big shot during this opportunity, immediately controlled all of us in the office or the ward we were in. It is said that no colleague was able to leave until the big shot's bodyguards and the big shot left the hospital together."
"And when our doctors went to collect the samples, they found that the samples had already been collected, and there were as many as four of them. We don't know what happened, but we brought them all to you at once," Old He said with an equally confused expression.
"Then what do you think happened during the power outage?" The doctor from the cultivation department had the words "gossip" written all over his face.
"Who knows? And even if I did know, I couldn't tell you what happened!" Old He suddenly said seriously, "Do you know how important the big shot who came today is?"
"Everything that happened today is confidential. You actually want to investigate what happened? Be careful, you might get into big trouble! To tell you the truth, the water here is too deep, you can't handle it!" Old He said.
"Thank you!" The doctor also realized he had made a mistake and took a deep breath before replying.
"Well, when you work, be extremely careful. Give it 120% of your attention. Select the strongest for each sample, and then perfectly match all the L-cells. It must be foolproof. Success is the only option, failure is not!"
"The dean said that if this is successful, all of us who participate, regardless of our contribution, will receive three years' salary as a bonus. But if we fail, then you won't get any bonus for three years!" Old He finally said something that stirred the blood. —————————
After this incident, which could be described as either an accident or a story, Boss Huang quickly returned to work.
However, this time it was completely different from all previous work. It was no longer about the deceit and stratagem in the business world, nor about capital storms of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, but rather Boss Huang announced that he would be dedicating himself to the great cause of ancestral worship.
The reason for this was an interview with CCTV.
This was Boss Huang's first interview after becoming the world's richest man, and it would also be his only interview. This was because a representative from Jiangnan Group had clearly communicated with CCTV's high management.
They stated that although Jiangnan Group was very willing to cooperate with CCTV, Jiangnan Group was currently in the spotlight, and therefore Boss Huang hoped to maintain a low profile as much as possible.
Thus, this interview was the first and last. Boss Huang would not accept any more exclusive interviews from any media for at least a year.
CCTV, having obtained this one opportunity, naturally felt it was inappropriate to push their luck further and ask for future interviews.
Therefore, they had to make the most of this sole opportunity. To ensure the success of this interview, CCTV had put in considerable effort.
They not only brought in the best team, the most famous reporter, and prepared over a dozen different contingency plans, but they also conducted a more in-depth and detailed investigation of Boss Huang, striving to unearth more information.
However, the problem was that Boss Huang had been famous for more than just a year or two. Various media outlets had already thoroughly investigated all matters surrounding Boss Huang, both big and small. Even CCTV found it difficult to uncover anything new, which made CCTV feel somewhat frustrated.
Just as CCTV was planning to ask some tricky questions to maximize the program's effect, they suddenly received a phone call stating that relatives from Huang He's hometown had arrived and hoped that CCTV could help contact Huang He to see if he still recognized these relatives.
CCTV was initially bewildered, but then they thought about it – it seemed that no one had ever investigated where Huang He's hometown was, nor did they know if Huang He had any relatives.
The only information about Huang He's family that they could find was his parents, who they knew had entered the Wenzhou Leather Factory through recruitment. However, they couldn't find any further information.
This was also normal, as there were no computers back then, and investigating personnel movements was extremely difficult. Moreover, Huang He's parents were ordinary workers, and no one would have specifically investigated their backgrounds.
Logically, the official archives of the Wenzhou Leather Factory should contain some records, but the problem was that Huang He's parents had later inversely acquired the Wenzhou Leather Factory. While necessary personnel files were handed over to the government, the rest were disposed of as trash, and naturally, no specific records were kept for others to查.
As long as Huang He himself didn't disclose it, unless special powers were used, no one would know where Huang He's ancestors came from, not even CCTV.
Therefore, when someone suddenly called claiming to be Boss Huang's relatives, it significantly attracted CCTV's attention.
However, CCTV also felt that there was a high probability of people trying to latch onto his fame, so they dispatched a reporter to investigate and understand the situation of these individuals.
