Pretending To Be A Boss

He shook his head with a wry smile before entering the inner chamber and saying,

"It seems that a big event has happened in your life this past month."

Shang Lu was startled, then turned around with a joyful expression and said,

"Xian, you're here, that's great! I just have some questions that I can't figure out and wanted to ask you."

Tang Xian's gaze fell on the girl standing behind Shang Lu.

She looked two or three years younger than Shang Lu but the badge on her chest indicated that this girl, wearing thick glasses, had already earned doctoral statuses in several fields.

In the Pyramid, there were also many academic statuses, and the assessment system was even stricter than in ancient times.

Thus, Tang Xian was certain that this girl might be even smarter than Shang Lu. Even discussing IQ alone... she was very close to his own.

It was just a feeling, like the unique magnetic field that arises when like recognizes like.

"I'm sorry I overheard your conversation just now. I believe the two of you are married. By the way, the ring on your ring finger is beautiful. So, Shang Lu, I believe your wife can clear up my confusion; you should go rest."

Shang Lu said in astonishment,

"Why?"

"Didn't you sign a contract? Speaking of which, this is a really interesting idea—getting married with a contract. Whose idea was this?"

Tang Xian extended his hand and said,

"I am a friend of Shang Lu's; my name is Tang Xian."

"My name is Zhong Xiuxiu. I am Shang Lu's wife."

Zhong Xiuxiu immediately added,

"I think any matter or relationship can be formulated into a contract. This can effectively improve our work and living efficiency. And it resolves disputes after marriage with great efficiency."

Tang Xian suddenly became very curious about something,

"So how did you two get married?"

Shang Lu immediately blushed and angrily said,

"I don't know who the bastard was who put a..."

Before he finished speaking, and seeing the calm yet puzzled look in Zhong Xiuxiu's eyes, Shang Lu instantly clammed up.

"Ninety-four percent of human beings will feel weary of their current marriage partner after about seventy days. Therefore, during the honeymoon period, which is the two months following the wedding ceremony, we must not express dissatisfaction with our marital partner until this period has passed. Quoted from Article twenty-one, Section three of the marriage contract."

Tang Xian almost wanted to applaud.

Zhong Xiuxiu continued, "But seeing a friend exaggerate the truth is a healthy and reasonable emotion for primates to have, so this time it's just a verbal warning."

Shang Lu nodded without argument.

Zhong Xiuxiu then turned to Tang Xian and said,

"The matter of marriage was because my husband posted a request on his door, and I thought my husband had very high work efficiency, so I fulfilled the requests he posted on his door. Then he cried tears of joy, and so I proposed marriage to him."

Tang Xian could imagine that Shang Lu wasn't crying tears of joy, but rather was panic-stricken, looking with tearful eyes at a lovely girl who was observing him calmly, with a scrutinizing gaze.

Tang Xian patted Shang Lu's shoulder and said,

"I believe that you and Zhong Xiuxiu's genes could definitely create the most brilliant human brain."

Shang Lu seemed torn between speaking and remaining silent.

Tang Xian looked at Shang Lu, increasingly wanting to laugh.

What kind of experience was it to wake up and find that you have a wife?

Although Tang Xian hadn't witnessed the process, if he'd written a post about it on Blender, he could already imagine it.

Despite netizens not minding spending a few tens of thousands of starting coins, given too many acquaintances in the circle, heavy involvement of interests, and national circumstances that didn't allow it, Tang Xian thought there was no need to continue imagining.

But he couldn't help saying that even he and Li Xiaoyu could never pull off such a stunt.

This girl named Zhong Xiuxiu truly lived up to her name.

Especially afterward, she forced Shang Lu into marriage within a month, an astonishing display of efficiency that made Tang Xian regard Zhong Xiuxiu with even greater respect.

Finally, he wasn't the most abnormal person anymore.

"Alright, Shang Lu, you go rest. I believe your wife can clear up my confusion more efficiently."

Shang Lu didn't insist, as he was indeed very tired.

Under Zhong Xiuxiu's plan, to increase work efficiency, Shang Lu had emptied out the least used corner of the laboratory to make a bedroom.

Before going to bed, he gave several reminders, roughly that Tang Xian had the right to know everything.

After Shang Lu left, Zhong Xiuxiu spoke again in that extremely fast and emotionless tone,

"It's worth noting that my husband has given a man all the rights to use the laboratory and full knowledge of plant research. A privilege not even fully open to me."

Zhong Xiuxiu led Tang Xian to the laboratory of the Zudan sacred tree.

As they walked, she said,

"Based on this, I should consider increasing the likelihood that he has homosexual tendencies. What do you think?"

Tang Xian didn't want to talk.

Li Xiaoyu also had this issue sometimes. Although Li Xiaoyu had emotional moments, which Tang Xian often categorized as moments of folly.

But comparing the two, Tang Xian found Li Xiaoyu to be cuter... no, much cuter.

Zhong Xiuxiu was simply like a robot; Shang Lu was too pitiful.

Tang Xian thought his own past behavior of placing signs had been rather inconsiderate.

Different from his last visit, there had been quite a few changes in Shang Lu's laboratory.
