“I thought your sincerity meant giving me the Snow Red Flower first and discussing other matters later,” Song Fan said, not directly answering him. She didn’t want to collaborate with the Brown Group, but she needed to cure Gu Chen’s poison.

Charlie raised an eyebrow but didn’t press further, knowing that Song Fan wasn’t swayed by force or persuasion.

“Alright, no problem. Take your time to consider,” Charlie nodded and made a gesture for her to exit the car.

Song Fan got out of the car and, after watching Charlie drive away, headed straight to the Gu residence. The Snow Red Flower was difficult to preserve and only the lab at the Gu residence could store it properly.

When she arrived at the Gu residence, Uncle Zhong was already waiting at the door with a welcoming smile. “Miss Song, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? The meal is ready.”

“Did you know I was coming today?” Song Fan asked, surprised.

“No,” Uncle Zhong said, suddenly looking a bit downcast. “I didn’t know when you’d come, so I prepared every meal, including supper, in advance. Just in case you showed up, you could have a fresh meal. You’ve lost weight.”

Seeing his sincere expression and the nodding servants beside him, Song Fan felt a bit embarrassed. “Uncle Zhong, um, I’ll go to the lab first.”

She almost fled to the lab, knowing the Snow Red Flower needed to be kept at a low temperature. Fortunately, the lab was fully equipped.

After storing the Snow Red Flower, she hesitated to leave, worried that Uncle Zhong might still be waiting outside and she’d feel even more awkward.

After over half an hour, Gu Chen came to the door, prompting her to leave the lab.

Gu Chen seemed aware of what had happened. He smiled, “Uncle Zhong means well. You don’t eat much anyway, so he doesn’t prepare too much.”

He didn’t mention that Uncle Zhong mainly prepared a lot of late-night snacks, many of which were nourishing medicinal dishes.

To avoid Song Fan’s embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject, “So, did you come to the lab because you made progress?”

Song Fan, relieved, explained Charlie’s proposal for cooperation. “Wu Yong might not have been kidnapped by the Brown Group. Do you have any news?”

“Not yet,” Gu Chen shook his head. “Gu Pharmaceuticals’ research has also stalled. We can only wait until Wu Yong is found.”

“I could…” Song Fan started, thinking she could help, but the research and formulas were proprietary to the company, making it awkward to offer.

“Sure,” Gu Chen agreed readily. “If you could help, that’d be great. I can hire you as the chief pharmacist of Gu Pharmaceuticals.”

Song Fan was surprised by his quick agreement and his proposed title, leaving her momentarily speechless.

Seeing her dazed look, Gu Chen found it amusing. He leaned in slightly closer. “If you find the title of chief pharmacist unsuitable, you could choose to be Mrs. Gu.”

Song Fan’s lips moved as if to speak, but she only managed to say, “I have things to do at home. I should go.”

Watching her flee, Gu Chen couldn’t help but find it entertaining. Recently, he had seen this cute side of Song Fan more often.

Behind him, Uncle Zhong sighed. “Young master, you need to keep her around. At this rate, when will we have a little master?”

That night, Song Fan couldn’t stop thinking about Gu Chen’s words. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw his lips moving, saying, “You could choose to be Mrs. Gu…”

“Oh my god!” Song Fan threw off her covers, realizing she couldn’t sleep at all.

The next day at the company, a more troubling issue arose. The news about the missing valuable jewelry at Song Corporation had made the headlines.

Despite Xia Yu warning Xu Wen, she still wanted to make things difficult for Song Fan.

Since becoming Xu Wen, she had learned the importance of an heir in a prominent family.

Song Yi hadn’t intended to groom an heir yet, but with Song Fan entering Song Corporation, if she succeeded with her first project, she could become the recognized successor. Xu Wen couldn’t let Song Fan have it easy.

“Song Corporation loses jewelry worth billions” and “Song Corporation’s jewelry brand falters” began as insider leaks but quickly spiraled online.

Given Song Fan’s recent tabloid appearances and the impending collaboration with the Brown and Gu Corporations, netizens speculated wildly. Most believed Song Fan was unreliable as a project leader, doubting the new jewelry brand’s prospects.

The immediate impact of this news was widespread online resistance to the unreleased jewelry brand.
