Chapter 349 Su Chen's Ulterior Motives
"Domestic travel is fine; having this opportunity is already great. I wonder how many departments are jealous!"
The slightly older Qin Li laughed.
"That's true. So, Minister, where in the country should we go?"
Zhao Lin once again cast her somewhat electrifying eyes toward Su Chen, her voice timidly inquiring.
"Which places have you considered so far?"
"Well, Tibet, the Jiangnan water towns, Huangshan, Sanya…"
Zhao Lin counted off the options on her fingers, but before she could finish, Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he decisively said:
"Sanya, it has to be Sanya!"
"Why?"
The women all looked at Su Chen curiously, not understanding his particular fondness for Sanya.
"Of course, it's because the temperature variation there is extremely small, and the climate is pleasant. Look, winter is almost here; isn't it just right to go to Sanya?"
Su Chen quickly thought of a somewhat plausible reason.
The actual reason, of course, was to see these beauties in swimwear. Lin Ruoxue was not a possibility for now, but getting an eyeful of these beauties from the PR department was not bad either.
Of course, he had to make sure these beauties couldn't tell what he was really thinking, so he maintained a serious demeanor.
"Minister, do you have some ulterior motive or something?"
Ran Ting also came up to Su Chen's side at this moment and whispered in his ear.
"Me, have ulterior motives? Never."
Su Chen glared at her and whispered back.
"Well, only you would know that."
Ran Ting threw Su Chen a flirtatious look and thought to herself that she definitely needed to buy a sexy swimsuit this weekend!
Since Su Chen was still the minister and no consensus was reached among the others, everyone eventually agreed to go to Sanya.
After settling on this decision, everyone returned to their desks to work, while Su Chen watched the beauties, imagining them running and swimming on the beaches of Sanya in their swimsuits, and suddenly felt like he was about to get a nosebleed.
Although it was almost winter now, the impact on Sanya was minimal. Sanya has a unique climate, a tropical maritime monsoon climate. Even during the coldest time of the year, the average temperature remains above 21 degrees Celsius. Continue your story on My Virtual Library Empire
Yeah, someday he also had to take Lin Ruoxue on a vacation there. Who knows, if they had fun, maybe he could…
Just as Su Chen was thinking about the enjoyable possibilities, his phone suddenly rang; it was Pei Rou, so he answered it.
"Hello, Auntie."
Su Chen politely said, coming off very much like a good boy.
"Su, tomorrow is Saturday. Come over to Auntie's house for lunch."
Pei Rou's affectionate voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Well… okay, I'll definitely come tomorrow."
Although Su Chen was somewhat reluctant, he knew that Pei Rou would have a way to make him come, so he agreed obediently.
But this time it seemed a bit different because he had found out Pei Rou was from the Pei family.
Although he still respected and cared for Pei Rou very much, this fact made him feel a bit uncomfortable, as if fate was playing tricks on him.
But he quickly put that aside and continued to enjoy the magazine.
After looking at the magazine for a while and admiring all the sexy ladies in it, he put it aside, as it no longer held any interest for him.
"Alright, time to check on the wife."
Su Chen thought it and did it, standing up and heading directly to Lin Ruoxue's office.
"Su, looking for Manager Lin? She's not here."
The young girl Chen Guo saw Su Chen approaching and cheerfully said.
"Oh, where did she go?"
Su Chen was slightly startled, since Lin Ruoxue was usually at her office most of the time.
"Oh, it seems some equipment has arrived; Boss Lin has gone to the pharmaceutical division."
Chen Guo said somewhat uncertainly.
Once Su Chen heard this, he immediately understood that it must have been the devices and equipment that Doctor Gaia had requested that had arrived.
"Bro Su, look, I've used the cosmetics you gave me; don't I look whiter and more tender?"@@novelbin@@
Chen Guo said with a laugh, even bringing her face a bit closer for Su Chen to see.
"That's not the work of the cosmetics; it's just your natural beauty!"
Su Chen also joked.
"It's no wonder you managed to charm Boss Lin with your smooth talk!"
"What 'charm'? Why does that sound so negative?"
Su Chen pursed his lips and said:
"I rely entirely on personal charm, alright!"
"Alright, Bro Su, you're the handsomest, okay!"
Chen Guo said exasperatedly, but considering the cosmetics, she begrudgingly made those compliments.
"All right, get back to work."
After chatting briefly with Chen Guo, Su Chen left and drove directly to the pharmaceutical division of Belle Corporation.
Upon arriving and asking around, he learned that both Lin Ruoxue and Doctor Gibson were upstairs in the innermost laboratory, Doctor Gibson being Doctor Gaia.
So Su Chen went upstairs, but as he walked forward, he was immediately stopped by two people:
"This is a restricted area in the laboratory, no entry for outsiders!"
Su Chen was somewhat frustrated, thinking how could he, as the CEO's husband, be considered an outsider?
However, he knew the rules and didn't complain, but instead called Lin Ruoxue inside.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Ruoxue said with some surprise.
"Just checking in, how's the doctor?"
"He's still inside testing the equipment. Honestly, it's such high-end stuff that I only understand the basics."
Lin Ruoxue said with a smile.
"No worries, as long as he understands, it's fine."
Su Chen shrugged it off nonchalantly.
Soon after, Doctor Gaia also came out with a satisfied smile on his face.
"How was it, Doctor? All good?"
Su Chen asked, as he was quite concerned about this matter, since it dealt with genetic engineering, something that had always been a thorn in Su Chen's side.
"Very satisfied, extremely satisfied."
Doctor Gaia exclaimed, saying:
"This time Boss Lin really spent a hefty amount, purchasing the latest model. This one device alone cost several million US dollars more than the older ones!"
"When buying, naturally we have to go for the best. We can't have the best talents without pairing them with the best equipment."
Lin Ruoxue said with a slight smile, showing quite some boldness since just today's device set her back nearly three hundred million US dollars!
Looking at the current situation, the previously estimated five hundred million US dollars will definitely not suffice; at least seven to eight hundred million will be needed!
However, she also believed that a big investment would yield big returns!
Indeed, that proved true as, over the following years, Belle Corporation's pharmaceutical industry gradually became a benchmark in all of Huaxia, even worldwide!
Each year, the products and services provided in genetic life sciences brought Belle Corporation profits beyond what one could even dare to imagine!
But of course, that's a story for another time...
