Sheng Shaoyou has lost some memory of what happened afterwards.
When he woke up the next day, his hair was fluffy and his body was refreshed. He had taken a shower last night, but he didn't remember it. His legs were sore and his forehead was even more painful, as if someone had pried it open with a blunt instrument and then sewn it back together.
Sheng Shaoyou supported himself on the bed and tried to sit up, but he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost lay down again.
Hua Yong came in with a cup of warm water. Unlike the cold look in Sheng Shaoyou's memory last night, he was still so gentle and kind. He opened his deer-like eyes and looked at him tenderly.
"Mr. Sheng was very drunk last night." The gentle young man said worriedly, "I made you a hangover soup, but you refused to drink it."
Sheng Shaoyou barely leaned against the pillow, half lying and half sitting on the bed, but his body could not stop sliding down. Hua Yong saw this and quickly reached out to help him. The wrist was so thin and white that Sheng Shaoyou could wrap his hand around it.
"When I get drunk in the future, don't bother yourself and let me sleep alone." Alpha reached out and touched his face, saying tiredly and gently: "Don't tire our Ayong out."
Hua Yong rubbed his palm dependently and said "hmm" softly.
Seeing how well behaved he was, Sheng Shaoyou felt his headache wasn't as painful anymore.
I lay down for a while, got up, had breakfast, and went to the company.
Not long after the morning meeting began, Sheng Shaoyou's headache suddenly worsened, and the symptoms of heavy head and light feet also became more severe.
A strong smell of pheromones gradually filled the entire room.
The head of a department who was speaking was a Class B Alpha. As he was speaking, he suddenly lunged forward, knocking the standing conference microphone over with a "bang".
Except for Beta, the other AO colleagues also felt something was wrong, and their condition was worrying.
Almost all those who were still able to move stood up and ran out of the office.
Even Chen Pinming, who was sitting in the row behind Sheng Shaoyou, could smell the strong scent of rum and bitter orange on him.
The concentration of S-level pheromones was too high, and the air was even filled with the woody aftertaste of Sheng Shaoyou's pheromones. Not to mention Alpha and Omega, even Beta was already feeling suffocated.
A routine company morning meeting turned into a disaster movie.
The farce finally came to an end when Chen Pinming found a suppression patch and stuck it on the gland on the back of Sheng Shaoyou's neck, which was continuously emitting powerful pheromones.
Under such circumstances, Sheng Shaoyou obviously could not continue working.
He was rushed to Heci Hospital and the diagnosis was: pheromone disorder, mid-stage.
Looking at the diagnosis, Sheng Shaoyou was stunned.
The doctor's face was solemn. "You are so young and S-rank. Logically, it is unlikely that you will get this disease. It may be because of long-term stress and irregular lifestyle. Let me prescribe some oral inhibitors for you to prevent you from being unable to control the pheromone spillage in extreme cases and harming innocent people. For other treatments, we need to wait until you are hospitalized for a comprehensive examination before we can treat them symptomatically."
"Hospitalization?" Sheng Shaoyou was stunned. He didn't expect that he rarely got sick, but once he got sick, it was serious enough to be hospitalized.
The company is currently at its busiest stage and as the backbone, it is impossible for me to be hospitalized.
"Can't you just take medicine?"
The doctor was surprised by his recklessness and said seriously, "So-called modern medicine is not as advanced as we think. There are actually very few diseases that we can diagnose and cure. Pheromone disorder is a serious endocrine disease, and the cause of the disease has not yet been fully determined."
"In clinical practice, we generally believe that the abuse of pheromone inhibitors, overwork, and long-term mental stress are all triggers of the disease. In extreme cases, pheromone disorders can be life-threatening! Mr.
Sheng, you were already in the middle stage when you were first diagnosed, and the situation is not optimistic. I don't think you meet the indications for discharge from the hospital for treatment."
Sheng Shaoyou was forced to be hospitalized.
But the doctor's judgment was correct. Sheng Shaoyou, who was admitted to the pheromone isolation ward, had a very serious pheromone disorder, and at the beginning his condition did not even improve due to hospitalization.
He gradually developed symptoms such as long-term low fever, dizziness and weakness, accompanied by many pathological physical disorders and often faced the problem of pheromone out of control.
What's worse is that little Sheng Shaoyou seemed to be showing signs of being unable to recover. He woke up listless every morning and no longer greeted Sheng Shaoyou.
As an S-class Alpha standing at the pinnacle of human genetic evolution, Sheng Shaoyou felt like he was struck by lightning. He could not accept it at all and was afraid that he would become "immortal".
The frequent leakage of S-level pheromones for no apparent reason made even a Beta like Chen Pinming very nervous. In a short period of time, no Alpha or Omega dared to approach Sheng Shaoyou easily, and all the staff around him were replaced by Beta.
But even so, the Betas still treated the S-class Alphas who might suddenly appear at any time as a formidable enemy when faced with pheromone suppression.
Only Hua Yong insisted on visiting him every day.
But he was too weak, and Sheng Shaoyou was worried about hurting him even though he was wearing a pheromone isolation patch.
"I'm not afraid." Hua Yong said, "Mr. Sheng can't hurt me."
Sheng Shaoyou was sick and looked tired, but he still made me laugh: "How can it not hurt?" He held his wrist and gently scratched it: "I can pick ten orchids like you with one hand."
Hua Yong's face darkened, and she pursed her lips for a long time before asking, "Is one flower not enough?"
Sheng Shaoyou teased him deliberately: "When it comes to picking flowers, the more the better."
Hua Yong didn't get angry either, she raised her eyes and looked at him calmly: "I understand."
Sheng Shaoyou wanted to ask, what do you know?
But the doctor comes in and interrupts them.
"Today's indicators are a little better. If the free pheromone concentration in the blood can be kept stable, you can be discharged from the hospital after another week of observation."
Sheng Shaoyou was in a good mood. He found that as long as Hua Yong stayed with him more often, his headache and low-grade fever symptoms would be alleviated.
This orchid is such a treasure, it even functions as a placebo!
Shen Wenlang still wants to exchange it for that broken technology! Let him dream on!
The next afternoon, Sheng Shaoyou was discussing with Hua Yong whether they should plant more hydrangeas in the garden at home. Chen Pinming came in with a happy look on his face and told Sheng Shaoyou that they had received an invitation letter from the owner of X Holdings, inviting Sheng Shaoyou to attend a private sharing session of the actual controller of X Holdings after the forum.
The forum is about to be held, this Friday.
Sheng Shaoyou was in the hospital and was hesitant about whether to let the vice president attend on his behalf. But a private sharing session is different from a public forum. It can be said that opportunities are rare and will never come again. Such an important opportunity, let alone him, would probably make Sheng Fang, who was lying in the intensive care unit and relying on machines to maintain his last life, "sit up in shock from his dying illness" after hearing it.
Given such a great opportunity, as long as Sheng Shaoyou is still alive, he will go there in person.
Friday, Country P.
The forum went very smoothly. Sheng Shaoyou took a pheromone inhibitor in advance and applied an inhibitory patch. Although he felt a little tired after the whole event, at least he did not release the oppressive pheromones uncontrollably and cause any trouble that would be difficult to resolve.
X Holdings' private sharing salon, admission time is from 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm.
Sheng Shaoyou took a short rest in his business car and then had a brief meeting with Sheng Fang's advisory group.
It is reported that each invited corporate representative has 20 minutes of business presentation time, during which he can directly introduce the advantages of his own company and cooperation intentions to the mysterious person in charge of X Holdings.
Twenty minutes was neither long nor short. Sheng Shaoyou and the consultants carefully went over several key points that needed to be emphasized later.
He looked at his watch and found that he still had fifteen minutes to spare, so he called Hua Yong.
The voice call rang several times before Hua Yong answered it.
"Mr. Sheng?" His voice was full of uncertainty: "Are you done with your work?"
"Yeah, I just got some free time. What are you doing?"
"watch TV."
Sheng Shaoyou imagined him hugging a pillow, sitting on the sofa properly, staring at the TV seriously, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "What did you watch?"
"You." Hua Yong's voice was a little softer, as if she was shy, but she still said softly: "Today's forum is live broadcast online, I cast the screen. Mr. Sheng is so handsome, but he is more handsome in person than on TV."
Flattery never wears out. Sheng Shaoyou was very happy and regretted not bringing the orchid with him.
"Mr. Sheng, is everything going well for you?"
"Yeah." Sheng Shaoyou lay with his head up and eyes closed, holding the phone in his hand, and whispered, "If I had known earlier that I would have brought you along, we could have spent two more days in Country P. Have you been here before?"
"No." Hua Yong said, "I have never been abroad."
Thinking of his orphan status and his seriously ill sister, Sheng Shaoyou felt a pang in his heart. He rubbed his temple and said, "When you are better, I will take you out to play more often, and I will take you with me when I go abroad in the future, okay?"
Hua Yong didn't seem particularly excited, and thanked him politely and obediently: "Thank you, Mr.
Sheng."
The soft tone softened Sheng Shaoyou's heart. He coaxed him a few more words, hung up the phone, and when he saw that it was almost time, he opened the car door, got out, and went straight to the salon.
X Holdings has absolute power in Country P, so its owner's ostentation is naturally astonishingly grand.
Sheng Shaoyou had long heard about the supremacy of capital in Country P. He also knew that X Holdings was the only dominant company in this country, with unprecedented power.
But when he saw the police cars and armed Royal Police lined up at the door to welcome him, he still couldn't help but be surprised.
With such a grand ceremony, even if the president of a neighboring country came, it would not be much more than this, right?
Who is the elusive head of X Holdings? The emperor?
However, when you are under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. Even Sheng Shaoyou, who has a tough style, has to give the other party some face on other people's territory.
Chang Yu was standing at the door welcoming guests. When he saw him, he took the initiative to extend his hand: "Mr. Sheng, how are you?"
"Thanks to Secretary Chang." Sheng Shaoyou smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his. He glanced at the police cars and policemen at the door and praised him insincerely: "Your Excellency's master is so grand."
Sheng Shaoyou then recognized that the person directing the duty on the scene was actually the director general of the National Police Department of Country P, and the lowest-ranking officer in the row of police officers standing in the front was actually a lieutenant colonel!
Well, he took it back!
Even if the president of a neighboring country comes in person, he will never enjoy such a grand ceremony!
That ugly bastard in X Holdings is definitely the real emperor! If he gets unhappy and stamps his feet lightly one day, it will shake the country of P.
