companion.Otherwise I'll leave forever and never come back.I cannot tolerate this happening under my nose. ' added Martin, with a look of disgust.

Nice stared at Chen Ou.Chen Ou gave him a firm look. "Leave it to me." He said silently.

Miraculously, the other two understood it.

"I won't budge on such a matter!" said Martin contemptuously.

The author has something to say: I really hate the mixture of Chinese and English, but I really don't know how to write in dirtytalk.Everyone, please forgive my lack of vocabulary for the time being, Xin_Xin.

☆, extra episode 11

"I want to go to your room."

"You promised Martin, Mr. Major."

"Let me stay with you for a while. I'll creep in through the window lightly, and Martin won't notice it for a while."

"Believe me, as soon as you make a move, Martin will appear and drag you back to the room. No matter how clever the secret agent skills are, it can't compare to the responsibility of a parent."

As if responding to his words, a cough sounded outside the door.Chen Ou hung up the phone helplessly.

Since he made it clear to Martin that day, Martin has turned into a fire-breathing three-headed dog, staring at him and Niss, resolutely not allowing them to come within one meter of each other.This lasted for a week, and Martin fell ill before Nice broke out.

"It's nothing serious. He's getting old and very tired recently, that's all. Let the patient rest more." The family doctor said.

Chen Ou moved into Martin's room in order to take care of him in his illness and reassure him, even though Martin didn't talk to him at all.Nice proposed that two people work in shifts, but Chen Ou declined.

"He's punishing me. Your meddling will only irritate him."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you. They were successful in convincing Jessica. I forgot how stubborn Martin was." Nice said uneasily.

Martin's voice came from the bedroom.After falling ill, as soon as Chen Ou left his sight, Martin would groan or cough loudly.

"He's sick, so he's self-willed." Chen Ou comforted Niss, "Let him order."

After a week, Martin's illness still did not improve.Chen Ou became worried, and despite Martin's objections, he forced Nice to drive him to the clinic.

"Martin! You old cunning, what is it you?"

"Martha! Are you back?"

A radiant middle-aged nurse embraced Martin in the corridor of the clinic.

"Why didn't you tell me you were back?" Martin said, letting go of Martha.Look at her carefully.She is fatter than when she was in middle school, and her hair is also a lot grayer. Only a pair of lively eyes are still the same as in memory.

"Just came back for a month. The doctor said that Little Eddie's respiratory system is not good, and the seaside is more suitable for him." Martha looked him up and down, "What are you doing here? You were the best among your middle school classmates, and now you have to accept your old age." .”

When Martin puffed up his chest and was about to refute her, he suddenly looked back at Chen Ou and Nice: "I have a fever recently, and I am not in good health."

"What a coincidence, Dr. Johnson is free now." Martha said enthusiastically, "follow me and let them wait in the corridor."

Chen Ou watched them enter a consulting room.Nice sat down on the bench beside him.

"New Years is two weeks away. I have to go to Europe after New Years."

"Book me a plane ticket too. We'll go together."

Nice looked up at him.

"You can't go until you convince Martin."

"I'll convince him to trust me."

"He doesn't talk to you at all."

"He's been sick in his room."

*********

Martin smiled at Martha in the empty consulting room: "Doctor Johnson?"

"That's right, although Dr. Johnson doesn't have a license to practice, it's enough to deal with the cunning of pretending to be sick. Now explain, what do you mean by gesturing?" Martha Johnson said.

Martin sat down comfortably on the consulting chair: "I didn't expect to be separated for so many years. You still remember the gestures we made together to cheat."

Martha's expression softened: "The middle school days are hard to forget—who were the two young people who accompanied you? You seemed to be very rude to them."

"One was a student of the late employer, and the other was the adopted son of the late employer, and I watched them grow up," Martin said, sighing deeply.

Martha poured him a cup of tea: "You are lucky, I have a rest today. Come, tell me all your troubles."

*********

"You and I both know he's faking it," Nice said.

The corners of Chen Ou's mouth curled up, acquiescing to Nice's words.

"You tortured yourself like this even though you knew he was pretending to be sick?" Nice said.Martin snored loudly in his sleep.After moving into his room, Chen Ou suffered from insomnia every night, and his eye circles turned blue.

"You have to let him vent your anger." Chen Ou said, "And he hates lying in bed the most. What's your dissatisfaction with letting a person who hates getting sick pretend to be sick for you?"

*********

"They have no legal relationship on the surface, and they are no different from adoptive fathers and sons. You don't want them to get married, so you pretend to be sick to prevent them from getting close." Martha concluded, "I didn't find you so stupid before. What's the use of this?"

"It's better than doing nothing," Martin said dejectedly.

"Have you forgotten who helped you pass the exams again and again? Why didn't you keep asking for help? No matter how smart a man is, he can't compare to a woman when it comes to love and marriage."

Martin's eyes lit up.

*********

"You're right, you have to leave them first, but the stupid way of pretending to be sick won't work. You fall on the bed, let alone supervise them." Martha said.

"I'm cured," Martin announced.

"Great!" Nice exclaimed.

"I'll go with you to the concert tonight," Martin went on.

In the run-up to Christmas, the town of Winns routinely hosts many concerts.Chen Ou and Nice booked tickets for the show.Martin likes to stay comfortably at home and watch TV series, which he never participated in in previous years.

"What!" Nice was stunned, looking at Chen Ou, "but..."

"No but," said Martin irrefutably, "I'll go with you and have someone look after the house."

"Chen Ou has been looking forward to this performance for a long time, but you are not interested in these."

"Nonsense, I really like classical art." Martin said enthusiastically, "I have lived with the professor for 35 years!"

Chen Ou made a gesture, told Nice not to argue, and handed the ticket to Martin: "I wish you happiness."

Five minutes into the concert, there was loud snoring around Nice.He covered his face in despair, avoiding meaningful glances from front to back, left, and right.

*********

"Love originates from passion and dies from mediocrity. According to your description, I think they are only fascinated by passion for a while. Let them be exposed to trivial matters a lot, and the differences between the two will quickly consume the relationship." Martha said.

Martin took Chen Ou and Nice to the department store, and the big Christmas shopping started.

"Go to the furniture department on the sixth floor later." Nice suggested, "Chen Ou's bed always creaks."

Martin didn't want to know at all, how could Nice know that there was something wrong with Chen Ou's bed.He stared at Chen Ou, and Nice stared at him.

The sales manager of the furniture department is very enthusiastic and keeps recommending products.They were accompanied by a young couple.The husband wanted a French four-poster bed and the wife wanted a water bed.The two quarreled more and more intensely, and they meant to divorce immediately.

Martin listened to Chen Ou and Nice with his ears upright, planning to object as soon as Chen Ou expressed his opinion, and praised Nice's suggestion.

"How about this one?"

"It looks generous."

"Is the color a little lighter? It doesn't match the color of the wall."

"Sorrel is nice."

Martin thought regretfully, why couldn't they talk normally like other couples?

He took a fancy to a grass-green oval leather bed, and felt that the style was rough and very masculine, and it was very suitable to be placed in Nice's room.But Nice rolled his eyes at him.

"Don't even think about putting something so ugly in my room," Nice announced.

Chen Ou came over and touched the head of the bed.Martin continued to ignore him.

"This bed is a bit small for Nice." Chen Ou said.Martin looked over his head and had to admit that Chen Ou was right.He always felt that Ness was still a short-tempered toddler, but Ness had grown up long ago.

The sales manager who had been graciously recommending them was not happy.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. Is this gentleman married?" he asked.

"No, but I have a partner and I'm about to get married." Niss said firmly against Martin's cannibalistic gaze.

"This bed is perfect for couples getting married."

"why?"

"The small bed is easy to get pregnant."

*********

"You should introduce them to people of the right age. They have almost no chance of dating young and attractive people of their own age," says Martha.

"What's your name, please?"

"Martin Jackson," Martin said shyly.

"Mr. Jackson, could you introduce yourself?"

"I am 56 this year, and my wife has passed away for more than ten years. I have a son who has just turned [-] and works abroad."

"How is your health?"

"Good. Everything is normal in the annual physical examination, but I tend to snore when I sleep."

"What are your personality traits?"

"Loves children and animals, patient, sometimes stubborn."

"What do you usually do for entertainment?"

"watch TV."

"Me too. What's your favorite show?"

"TV shows, sports, local news, whatever."

"Your specialty?"

"I love cooking, especially desserts."

"Your occupation?"

"Butler, but I haven't decided whether to continue."

"Oh." The eyes of the woman on the opposite side flickered, "Are you going to change jobs soon? Why?"

"There were some arguments with the employer. I'm very angry with them."

"Your home address?"

"I'm currently living in my employer's house. I don't go back to my house very often, and I've rented it out to several college students who just graduated."

The woman looked up.

"Thank you, we have registered your situation, and we will contact you if there is a suitable partner. I wish you good luck." 56 years old, does not have his own home, and has an unstable job.No need to waste time with such registrants. "True Love Paradise" is a high-end marriage and love consulting agency, specializing in serving the social elite.

"No, no, no!" Martin said loudly, blushing, "I'm here for two other young people who are too busy with their work to register for a blind date in person."

“If they don’t even show up in person to check in, they don’t need the service,” the women put it mildly. Busy, mediocre office workers are not their target customers.

Martin went out and tore up the registration form.He doesn't like the establishment.He called Martha again.

*********

The irritated Niss found that he was forcibly assigned a position: the temporary human resources director of the institute, who needs to interview more than five young men and women every day.They have good backgrounds, good looks and are single.

"The head of human resources is on maternity leave, and Chen Ou needs help." Shire said, "You are the largest shareholder of the research institute and cannot evade responsibility. Look at my new business card, is it cool?"

"Don't think I don't know that this is a blind date." Nice looked at Charles' new business card.A hard card, the size of a credit card, with silver letters on a black background, and Shire's name is embossed and printed in the center of the card, "Exaggerated."

"This marriage counseling agency is very reliable, and true love can stand comparison." Martin said while replying to Martha's thank you email.He originally planned to arrange a series of blind dates for Chen Ou, but these days Chen Ou left early and returned late, so he was too busy to see anyone.He can only concentrate on dealing with Nice.

"You two have a real problem together: you will bring Chen Ou's life into danger. If you two die, the institute will close." Charles said, "I have to think about the continuation of science."

Martin's eyes were fixed on the screen: "What are you talking about, Chen Ou is 40 years old, and he is only 24."

Charles looked at Martin: "The death rate in their profession is as high as 60.00%, and the premium of accidental injury insurance is ten times that of ordinary people."

Martin raised his head: "Haven't you always worked in places like China or Europe?"

"Dangers exist not only on the battlefield." Niss said, "But 60.00% is too exaggerated, I think 20.00% at most. Most missions are not that dangerous. The decoy mission that Chen Ou and I just completed, the danger rating is only E."

"You still brought Chen Ou!" Martin's eyes widened, "The professor didn't even allow him to enter the dangerous goods laboratory!"

"Wang Rong said he has a good psychological quality." Nice spread his hands, "If I marry an ordinary person, the shares in the research institute will fall into other people's hands after I die, and Chen Ou will be embarrassed. If I give up the shares before marriage , and very unfair to the partner.”

"You can use the shares you hold to set up a trust fund, with Chen Ou as the actual controller of the fund trustee, and you and your family only retain the right to trust income. In this way, after your death, your family and children will still have no worries about food and clothing, and neither will Chen Ou. Lose control of the research institute. This is how the Lewis Family Trust operates. But you have to make a will in advance. I can introduce you to trust managers and lawyers, and the commission will be [-]% off." Charles said very professionally.

Martin couldn't take it any longer: "Wait, haven't we been discussing the issue of dating and marriage in Nice? Why did we suddenly switch to the will?"

"From a probability point of view, a mortality rate of 20.00% means that it is unlikely that he will live another 20 years." Shire said, "I think it is unlikely that he will fall in love with someone else in the short term. Since you insist that he get married , can you consider me? With such a large amount of property, it’s better to be cheaper than others.”

Martin threw him out.

*********

"I remember that tomorrow is the day you go to the institute."

"Correct."

"You go first, I will find an excuse to come out and go to the research institute to find you."

"Martin will never leave you. And I think you should hold back. You kept looking at me during dinner, and Martin nearly flipped the table over."

"Don't let me hug you again, I'm going to explode. We haven't been together for two weeks since we got back from vacation. Two weeks!"

"Be patient, it will be fine soon." Chen Ou's calm voice came from the phone.

Nice hung up the phone irritably.Chen Ou's sexual needs are pitiful, and he feels guilty towards Martin, so he will never take the initiative to get close to him before Martin figured it out.He had to find a way to save himself.

*********

Charles' words had some effect.Martin treats Nice very well. He loves three meals a day, afternoon tea and supper.At breakfast one day, Chen Ou asked, "Is Nice sick?"

"I also feel that I am receiving hospice care recently. Even without sex life, I am exactly the same as a dying patient." Niss said, reaching for the last egg tart, and was glared at by Chen Ou and Martin.

The phone rang.Martin connected: "Martha?" They originally planned to meet on this day to discuss how to continue to break up Chen Ou and Nice.

Martha sounded sorry: "Martin, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you. Little Eddie has another asthma attack, and the doctor put him on bed rest. I have to take care of him."

"Ah...it's nothing, let's meet another day." Although he was disappointed, Martin still thoughtfully said that he should have known that dating a woman would not be smooth sailing, even if the woman was old, short and fat, and he was just an old classmate with him.

Martha's voice was filled with anxiety: "You don't understand, we won't be able to meet again in the future, little Eddie is very angry..."

There was a sound of glass shattering on the phone, and the other party hung up the phone.Martin held the phone in a daze, while Chen Ou and Nice looked at him.

Suddenly, Martin jumped up: "I have to go and see Martha."

"I'll go with you." Chen Ou picked up the car keys and coat.Martin did not refuse Chen Ou's kindness.His distracted state is not suitable for driving.

"Martha and I are high school classmates. She has a daughter, and little Eddie is her only son. Her husband, daughter and son-in-law were killed in a plane crash." In the car, Martin introduced to Chen Ou.This is the first time the two have spoken in recent days.

To their surprise, Martha lived in a very good-quality community with very strict security.Martin couldn't help looking around: "I know nurses earn a lot, but I didn't expect it to be so high."

Martha was not surprised to see Martin, but was a little embarrassed: "Little Eddie doesn't like our meeting, and loses his temper in the morning."

The table in the room fell to the ground, and the bedroom door was closed.

"Are you injured?" Chen Ou asked.There were a few bloodstains on the floor in front of the bedroom door.

"No, it was Little Eddie who hurt himself." Martha shook her head. "When he got agitated, he would hurt himself, and then he had another asthma attack."

"Self-mutilation!"

"He has always been like this. He doesn't like me to go out, and he will hurt himself whenever there is a quarrel. I can only follow him."

The phone rang, and Martha looked at the message and raised her voice: "Eddie, the clinic wants me to go there quickly. I can't miss work anymore, or I won't be able to keep my job. I'll ask Aunt Fiona to come over and accompany you."

The bedroom was silent.

"We'll take you to the clinic." Chen Ou said.

"Thank you." Martha's voice was so loud that she should be able to hear it clearly in the bedroom, but there was no reply.Martha smiled bitterly.The three left together.

"Little Eddie hated me. Back then, my daughter and son-in-law volunteered to accompany my father because I couldn't take annual leave and couldn't accompany my husband on vacation. Little Eddie was born with mild allergic asthma, but the symptoms were not obvious. After the accident with his parents, His asthma suddenly worsened, and the doctor diagnosed it as an emotional trigger, and there was nothing to do about it," Martha said in the car.Martin and Chen Ou shook their heads.

The car stopped at an intersection.A policeman came over: "Driver's license." His voice was dull.

Chen Ou handed him his driver's license and watched him walk towards the police car behind him.After a while, the police came back without a driver's license: "Database data shows that you had drunk driving once last month. Before you appear in court, your driver's license will be temporarily detained."

Chen Ou smiled: "How is it possible? I am the only one driving this car, and I was on vacation in Europe last month, so there are many witnesses."

"Then you have to go back to the police station with me to check the files, otherwise you'll be waiting for a court summons." The policeman said in a businesslike manner.

Chen Ou said to Martin: "I'm going to clarify the misunderstanding. You send Martha to the clinic first."

As much as Martin wanted to accompany him to the police station, Martha couldn't be late.He reluctantly agreed.

On the way to the clinic, Martha asked, "Do you know that policeman?"

"It seems familiar, probably often on duty in this area." Martin said while driving.

"It's strange, we usually have two police officers on duty together." Martha muttered, "Perhaps Wins is too 'safe' and doesn't need too many people."

Chen Ou leaned on the back seat of the police car and fell asleep unconsciously.Martin snored loudly. In order to take care of him these days, Chen Ou hardly slept much.

When he woke up, the car was parked on a deserted coast, and the policeman sat motionless in the driver's seat.

"The car broke down?" Chen Ou rubbed his eyes.

"We're here." The voice was still dull.

"Here?" Chen Ou became alert and grabbed the phone.He had seen someone pretending to be a policeman to carry out kidnapping on TV, but Wens City was a small place, and there were almost no vicious cases.

The officer jumped out of the driver's seat, opened the rear door and got in.

"Let's clean up what happened after you got drunk last month. You attacked an innocent security officer." Nice said sullenly after taking off the voice changer and face camouflage.

"I'm sorry," Chen Ou couldn't help laughing after putting down his phone, "I'm willing to make compensation."

"Compensation alone is not enough, you have to accept the punishment from the security department." Nice pushed him down on the back seat, and slowly pulled out his belt, "Sexual punishment."

☆, extra episode 12

When Chen Ou arrived home, his legs and feet were a little inflexible. Fortunately, Martin, who was sitting on the sofa, didn't seem to notice.He stared straight ahead, racking his brain for something.

Chen Ou took a shower and went downstairs, and when he was about to open the door of Martin's bedroom, Martin spoke.

"Go back to your room." Martin said disgustedly, "don't stay in my room like a child."

Chen Ou smiled and sat beside him.

"How's Martha?"

"I gave little Eddie some hormonal drugs, and temporarily suppressed it. But this child..."

"A psychiatrist is needed," Chen Ou said.

"Martha looked for it, but little Eddie refused to cooperate." Martin shook his head.

"He needs professional counseling, or find him a partner. I don't know if we can play with Kevin." Chen Ou said.

Martin shook his head again.

"Little Eddie has self-harmed. Such a child with violent tendencies, even if Jessica agrees, I would not dare to put him and Kevin together."

Chen Ou did not hesitate.

"Leave it to me, I'll let Ciel handle it. The Foundation was established for this kind of thing."

Martin let out a breath slowly, with a complicated look on his face.

"You can always handle other people's affairs well, but what will you do in the future?"

"I'm rich and I'll be fine. Don't worry about me."

"Martha's husband is an old classmate of mine. He always won the championship in long-distance running competitions in middle school. Martha said that until the accident, his doctor was quite sure that he could live to be 90 years old with eyesight." Martin wearily said Said, "There are unpredictable things, Chen Ou. After I'm gone, who will stay with you? You have to find a partner for yourself, a partner recognized by society, not you and Nice. I'd rather you go whoring, or Better than being with him."

Chen Ou held Martin's hand, but Martin didn't shake him off. "I will do everything I can to keep our lives from being disturbed by outsiders' evaluations. If one day I regret it..." Chen Ou smiled, "Martin, I am also 40 years old, and I no longer have unlimited possibilities like young people. Now We all have the energy, the courage to love and be loved, the ability to ensure that we have no worries about food and clothing, and we should live according to our own will."

"You raised him until he was 16. There is no difference between him and your own son."

"The relationship between us beyond father and son happened when he was 23 years old. After he had many boyfriends and girlfriends, we all knew what we chose." Chen Ou said.It was the first time Martin had spoken out about his relationship with Ness since that night.Chen Ou is very cautious about every word.

"You don't understand. If you only have money, you can't keep your property. The biggest property of a scientist is not money or research results, but a clean reputation. We ordinary people don't understand what you study, but we will still respect your identity as a scientist Once you are rumored to have molested your adopted son..." Martin looked worried, "No organization dares to invite you to give lectures, and no family will invite you to be a guest. You have caused the Lewis Group to stumble, and they will not let you go easily. Letting you lose everything now is the best revenge."

Chen Ou pondered.He still needs further arrangements.

Almost as soon as he got back to the bedroom, the phone rang.

"Martin reconciled with you?"

"It's early, at least he's talking to me again. That's a good sign."

"There are only ten days until the new year."

"pass it to me."

"I'm not worried." Nice's smiling face appeared on the screen, "I love today's game to death."

"Don't do such tricks again." Chen Ou warned him, "I don't like messing around outside, I said I have a cleanliness."

*********

Three days before Christmas.

"Lie down! Put your hands on the wall!" Niss, who was wearing a supermarket security uniform, said sternly, and poked Chen Ou's buttocks with the electric baton in his hand, "Put your buttocks up, sir! Stealing is not a good habit!"

"Don't mess with the charges!" Chen Ou, who was forced to take off his pants, protested, feeling his bare buttocks getting chills, "Everything in the shopping cart has been paid for..."

"Stealing someone else's heart is also stealing, sir. It is very valuable and needs to be paid in installments." Nice said sweetly in his ear, "You forgot to pay the current installment."

The door of the security lounge was tightly locked, and a sign was hung outside: "Exposed wires, entry is strictly prohibited."

"What the hell!" The security manager of the supermarket shook his head and left, "It's only been renovated for less than three months!"

*********

Two days before Christmas.

"I said, do you need to see the bones?" Martin put down the newspaper, "Your walking posture has not been right recently." He hesitated, "Let Nice accompany you."

Nice at the other end of the long table opened his eyes wide.

"But don't think that means I agree with you!" Martin added after seeing Nice's eyes.

"Don't mention him." Chen Ou said angrily, "Besides, we don't have time. We have guests today." He turned to face Nice and raised his voice, "Move some chairs from the study to the living room."

Nice went obediently.Martin looked at his back, and then at Chen Ou: "Did something happen to you? I hope you will separate, but not against each other."

Chen Ou tensed his face and said nothing.This made Martin even more uneasy: "I'll go and talk to Nice, you are receiving guests in the living room."

"No, today's guest is here just for you." Chen Ou said.

The doorbell rang and two men in suits appeared on the doorstep.

"May I ask if this is..."

"Yes." Chen Ou said hurriedly, "Please come in."

They came in with solemn expressions, introduced them as lawyers from a certain firm, and sat down. Three minutes later, three more men came to visit, also in formal attire, also from the law firm, and they did not show the slightest surprise when they saw other colleagues present.Martin was very interested.Except for legal dramas, he rarely saw so many lawyers get together.

"Why are there so many lawyers?" Martin asked Ness.

"Don't know. I haven't spoken to someone for days trying to satisfy someone," Ness said.

If Martin believed it, he would have raised three boys for nothing.

Chen Ou cleared his throat.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone in this room for being invited here on Christmas Eve, which means a lot to me."

"Still nothing." Martin murmured.Chen Ou smiled at him.

"Today's theme is: If there is a conflict between the Institute and the Lewis Group, what is the worst outcome? Please fully assess the risks and come up with countermeasures."

Martin couldn't understand: "What does this mean?"

"Sand table drill." Nice whispered, "You are afraid that Chen Ou will be retaliated, so he will bring experts over and tell you what to do if you encounter retaliation."

Martin nodded involuntarily, and suddenly realized: "Is this a question of fear of retaliation?" He said angrily, as if he had been deceived.

"We solve each problem one by one." Chen Ou reassured him.

One person stood up: "I am from Emerson Consulting Company. One and a half years ago, after receiving a consultation from Professor Chen, we conducted a detailed investigation of the conflict between the institute and the Lewis Group. Since our company specializes in policy research, we mainly A set of plans has been put forward for the support of the political circles for Professor Chen's reference."

Nice couldn't help but look at Chen Ou.A year and a half ago, when the professor had just passed away.Chen Ou decided to deal with the Louis Group without discussing with anyone.No wonder he had the wisdom in his hands when facing Maer at sea, and every sentence spoke to Maer's mind.

Martin did not understand the following explanation at all.He held back for a while, and finally couldn't help interrupting: "Excuse me, aren't you a lawyer?"

The man smiled and said, "I'm a lawyer for a consulting company. My company has done some lobbying work and successfully influenced the medical policies of the previous and current governments."

Another person stood up: "I will analyze the role of media tools and public opinion in this matter. The economic impact will be analyzed by my colleagues, although we all believe that from the current financial situation of the Institute, as long as you and others If a controller doesn't gamble, then the Institute is not afraid of any purely economic challenges."

The lawyers present spoke one by one. Political assistance, economic support, industry partners, media entertainment, risks that Martin could think of and unexpected risks were all analyzed by the lawyers.

One person said: "In fact, I am not a lawyer, but a psychological counselor. The risks faced by Professor Chen not only come from the Lewis Group itself, but more from the public psychology's discomfort with genetic research. We need to start from this aspect. In Before the first black president and the first female president, there were a large number of TV dramas featuring blacks and women as the protagonists, with positive images, which played a positive role in reversing the traditional perception of the public. We can also use entertainment media to invest in film and television and games , animation, and create a positive image of artificial humans.”

"Is it okay?" Martin murmured.The counselor heard it and turned to him: "Of course, the public psychology is the most deeply rooted and the easiest to change. It only needs to invest money and time. In terms of money, Professor Chen has already made a promise, and the time will be spent by us. I don't think it will take ten years. The Lewis Group itself has no threat to the Institute. The biggest tool he can use is public opinion. Through public opinion, he can put pressure on the government and isolate the Institute. But public opinion can also become yours in turn. tool."

"Yes," said another, "I have been in charge of the legal affairs of charities. Today I brought a list detailing the names of the fifty most influential charities. In addition, I and The situation that some charities have come into contact with is that they would rather accept Professor Chen’s gene technology support than accepting financial assistance to find missing children, aid refugees and treat empty nesters, etc. They will become your most beneficial support. Any A media, as long as it publishes unfavorable reports, it must consider the attitude of these institutions in the future."

Martin was almost convinced, but he still had a doubt: "These people... I mean, are these studies reliable?" He asked Chen Ou.

"The organizations represented here are enough to form a presidential campaign team." Chen Ou said with a smile, looking around, thanking these lawyers, "Thank you for your work, and we need your cooperation to organize these suggestions into Implement the plan and build the implementation team. I am only responsible for paying the money.”

There was laughter at his words.Chen Ou and Martin's eyes collided in the air: "Are there any other questions?"

Reluctantly, Martin could only admit that he was persuaded.He thought that Chen Ou would describe his love with Nice emotionally, and prepared how to refute it, but Chen Ou didn't intend to mention the matter between him and Nice at all, and with the help of professionals, he neatly dismissed the truth that he hadn't had time to say.And he seemed so strong, so unbeatable, Martin almost gave up on him.

"I have another question..." He looked at the counselor, "Do you understand children's psychology?"

*********

A few hours before Christmas Eve.

"Thank you, you don't know how much you have helped me." Martha said gratefully to Martin.

Martin moved his body in the seat unconsciously, and looked at Chen Ou in the driver's seat: "It's an expert invited by Chen Ou."

After the therapist saw Eddie Jr., she referred Martha to a child therapist.The treatment worked, at least little Addikon was out of the bedroom.

"I think Shire and 'Phantom' played a role." Chen Ou said without looking back, "Whether it is an adult or a child, they all need a partner and spiritual sustenance. Little Eddie will have fun with his new partner, and he will Reduce dependence on you."
