Dong Peng’s expression was a little strange. “The support of funds is a piece of cake. So many taxes are handed over to the country every year. If he wants to carry out research, why don’t he just fund it from the country? Why does he have to find some entrepreneurs like us?”

At this point, Dong Peng’s words gradually aroused the doubts in Shan Yue’s heart, because what he said made sense. If everything was legal, then only the technical difficulties might become the only obstacle, and nothing else should become a stumbling block for research.

Unless there was only one possibility. The reason why Yu Sen was like this was that he had never wanted to rely on the country from the beginning. Instead, he was prepared to be like her, spending money and effort to do it alone.

Or there was some special reason that forced him to operate behind his country’s back. He couldn’t even be discovered yet.

“What you said is not unreasonable. With the country around, we can’t say that we can provide enough technical support, but we will definitely provide enough material guarantees. At the very least, we have the basic necessity, which is money, to do this.”

Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Also, this time is too urgent. Such a huge matter will be held tomorrow night. Moreover, most of the invited people are famous figures. If you want to go, you have to arrange the itinerary in advance and delay unnecessary matters. As the boss, Yu Sen must know this.”

“There’s also the layout of the venue and the invitation of the medical staff. It’s impossible to complete it in such a hurry. He’ll only make a mistake in his hurry. Unless he already had the thought of today and prepared in advance.”

Shan Yue watched their conversation quietly. As the saying went, the older, the spicier. Although Dong Peng’s expression was extremely natural, it did not stop Shan Yue from catching some clues from the small details.

“President Dong, since you’ve suddenly said these words, there must be a reason, right?”

“Look at what President Shan is saying. I usually spend most of my time in the company. I am not as well-informed as the two of you. What can 1 know that you don’t know?” Dong Peng smiled symbolically, trying to hide his unnaturalness. “I just walked to the door and suddenly thought of this, so I asked. If both of you are going tomorrow, I’ll join in the fun.”

Although that was the case, this could only deceive others. Shan Yue would never believe this excuse.

“Really, President Dong? Don’t forget that we’re in the same boat. We’ve just established a cooperation. Moreover, I don’t have to say too much about the relationship between our two families, right? I don’t want you to deliberately hide anything from me.”

Shan Yue looked at Dong Peng with her deep eyes. Dong Peng might be old and experienced, but the moment the two of them looked at each other, he immediately lost.

Perhaps Dong Peng did not say it directly, so he felt guilty. His gaze was naturally not firm and he did not dare to look into Shan Yue’s eyes. Or perhaps it was because Shan Yue’s aura was strong and her talking eyes suppressed the other party, but none of that was important now.

“We’re both businessmen. Suspicion is a big taboo in cooperation, so I don’t want to have any bad thoughts about you. I’ll choose to believe you, but 1 still have to give myself an explanation.” Shan Yue kept staring at Dong Peng like this. After a long time, she slowly revealed a terrifying feeling. “Let me ask you again. Are you sure you don’t know anything about the gala tomorrow?”

At this moment, Dong Peng fell silent for a moment. Shan Yue could see that he could no longer pretend. He was already starting to feel guilty.

Actually, it was not that Dong Peng deliberately hid it from Shan Yue and Zhou Xuan and was unwilling to tell them. It was just that the news he had learned was only some grapevine news. Everyone knew that such things were not credible.

Moreover, this news was not ordinary entertainment scandals or anything like that. It was something that could cause social panic if he was not careful. That was why he did not want to say it now, worried that it would cause psychological burden to others..
