Chapter 1284 Edwin's Slacking Off Techniques
Her lively and mischievous demeanor is absolutely adorable.
Edwin was buttoning his shirt when he heard Tang Tang whistle. He stopped immediately, turned around, walked to the bedside, and looked at her, saying, "I'd love to have a deeper conversation with you, darling."
Tang Tang silently tugged at the light blanket covering her, completely obscuring her bare shoulders and half her face, leaving only her eyes peeking out at him. "Goodbye and don't bother coming back."
We had already had an in-depth discussion all night, and Tang Tang, having eaten her fill, patted her bottom and declined the dear professor's request for further discussion.
It's fair to say that it's extremely awful.
But the professor was clearly joking. He chuckled gently, then elegantly and deftly fastened his tie, and said, "I'll keep an eye on Noah Pharmaceuticals for you... As for other matters, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Your safety is the most important thing," Tang Tang gave Edwin a sweet kiss. "We still don't know if the real culprit is that crazy Mr. Big Corn."
“A person who only cares about profit is capable of far too many things,” Tang Tang said. “In terms of knowledge and honor, you are indeed almost at the pinnacle of humanity. But in reality, some people have always adhered to a certain idea…”
"If you can't have it, destroy it," Tang Tang said lazily, closing her eyes, curling up in the blanket and yawning. Her tone was light and airy. "Just in case, I mean just in case."
“In the unlikely event that you receive an invitation to a meeting from the former president, you can certainly focus the conversation on me.”
Edwin frowned slightly in disapproval upon hearing this, "Your current identity is already somewhat sensitive, but you've only been in the American region for a short time, and your connections with the Vanderbilt, Kensington, and other families are too shallow, which is why you don't seem to attract much attention."
"If I were to mention you to that former president, he would likely direct his dislike for the Vanderbilt family, or his greed for other interests, at you."
In Edwin's view, nothing was more important than Tang Tang's safety.
He comes from the Sterling family, an extremely prestigious academic aristocratic family whose influence in the United States is among the highest.
Generally, unless someone is truly insane or desperate, a smart person wouldn't harm them. Edwin, however, considered himself not a man of integrity, and if the opportunity arose, he was happy to cleverly switch sides.
Of course, he outwardly switched sides, but what he truly thought and what he actually did are another matter entirely.
Just like now.
Edwin made almost no arrangements or requirements for any of the Harvard labs that were under official US jurisdiction, and all the experimental projects were simply carried out in a routine and methodical manner.
Not a single bit of extra energy was put into it.
Edwin is an authority in the field, an undeniable authority. If he says he can't do it, then he can't do it; if he says he's tried, then he really has tried.
Anyway, no one else can understand it.
Edwin, on the other hand, would just slack off, submitting a little progress on his experiments when the time was almost up to refresh the official tolerance level, and then go back to slack off.
Before Tang Tang arrived, Edwin was doing a perfect job, slacking off with great success. After checking in at the Harvard lab, he would slack off and research his private lab project.
A good balance between work and rest is wonderful.
Hearing Edwin's explanation and seeing the slight smugness on his face, Tang Tang suddenly chuckled to herself, finding the mature and elegant gentleman in front of her to be quite endearing.
But this does not affect the decision she has already made.
Tang Tang hugged the blanket and looked at Edwin, saying, "I have arrived in the American region, and the Telos project has officially started. I will not leave here until the goal is achieved, so everything here is actually related to me, and I cannot get rid of it."
"Whether it's the current president or the former president, in my view they can only be divided into two categories: those who are cooperative and those who are not."
"In my view, there is not much difference between the standards for people who can cooperate and those who cannot. When necessary, enemies can also become partners."
Tang Tang didn't really like this crazy big corn, but that didn't mean she was going to do anything to him.
She's not idle; she has plenty of things to do. Even this crazy "Big Corn" (referring to a popular celebrity) is mostly involved in national-level affairs.
She's not from the US, so why would she go to all this trouble for the sake of the US?
Every country has its own destiny; it is not a savior and has no responsibility to save everyone from misfortune.
Besides, the US region doesn't need her to save it at all.
Even if the US is in a terrible state, even if drugs are rampant, even if people at the bottom die one after another, it will not affect the big capitalists at the core of the US.
Those big capitalists are the real people of the Americas. As long as they exist, the Americas will only grow bigger and bigger, like capital, snowballing.
So it's not Tang Tang's place to feel sorry for her; she's doing just fine.
As long as that crazy big corn doesn't attack her, Tang Tang won't choose to directly become his enemy.
On the contrary, she was happy to squeeze some profit out of him, since he wasn't a good person anyway, and she didn't even need to worry about her conscience when she swindled money from him.
"As for safety, there's even less to worry about," Tang Tang shrugged slightly. "Believe me, dear Professor, no one in this world is safer than me."
Moreover, and most importantly... Tang Tang needs a dazzling invitation, one that is illuminated by countless spotlights, one that is almost like a sudden and extremely weighty invitation, to formally appear in front of all the major capitalist families in the United States.
"To be honest, my original plan was to officially enter the market as a new partner of the three major pharmaceutical companies."
Tang Tang has leverage over Reginald, so Reginald will definitely agree to make Telos Labs a partner of Noah Group.
With Noah Group taking the lead, the other two pharmaceutical groups will surely follow suit, hoping to cooperate with Tang Tang.
But no one expected that Reginald would be murdered at the perfectly good banquet.
Thus, Tang Tang's original plan was disrupted by an accident, and she now needs a new, formal, and significant opportunity and occasion.
“I don’t plan to choose the Vanderbilt family,” Tang Tang said. “That would make my relationship with Edmund less pure.”
