Chapter 116 Negotiations
"Senior, are you leaving?"
Mu Song was very surprised.
"Yeah, I've actually been working on the overseas project during the winter vacation for several years.
However, due to funding problems, it has been intermittent, which has greatly affected the progress of the project, and has not achieved any significant results.
This time, I met a big benefactor and invested a sum of money, enough to support the completion of this project. "
An Heng put in a lot of effort, trying to be as indifferent as possible, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
"This... I, I thought, you would personally take me after I was admitted to graduate school."
Mu Song was a little sad and aggrieved, feeling that he had just landed on a solid shore and was kicked elsewhere.
What's more, he has just reunited with An Heng, and he still has a lot to say, and there are still many imaginary areas to explore together. As a result, the two places have to be separated again, and they don't know when they will be able to meet again.
Mu Song's expression fell into An Heng's eyes, and his heart twitched when he saw it. He almost wanted to change his mind, but the remaining rationality still made him calm down.
"Haha, originally, that's what I planned too, but my thoughts are not pure, if I take you by myself, it may not be suitable.
I have already greeted my teacher, and he will take you personally. In this way, I will still be your senior, and our seniority will not be messed up. "
An Heng said, suppressing the faint dull pain, twitched the corners of his mouth, and raised a difficult smile, not sure if he was comforting Mu Song or himself.
"Then, how long are you going?"
"Three years."
"What? Doesn't that mean I won't see you during my graduate school?"
"Ah."
The disappointment in Mu Song's eyes was too glaring, An Heng lowered his head to avoid letting him see his abnormality.
"Senior, then, then you just now..."
For An Heng who had just confessed his love and suddenly said that he was going to leave, Mu Song was a little confused and had some doubts. He always felt that there was some inexplicable connection between the two.
But he believed that An Heng would not hide overseas because of his failed confession, it was just that these two events were too coincidental.
Moreover, what if he accepted An Heng just now?Could it be that he wants to have an exotic relationship with him?Or, take him to do the project together?
The more Mu Song thought about it, the more confused he became. He stared straight at An Heng, wanting to ask for an explanation.
"Hey, Xiao Song is still so smart."
An Heng sighed.
Although he didn't intend to hide it from Mu Song, he didn't want to make this matter too complicated. After thinking about it, he said.
"Originally, if you were willing to accept me, I would suspend this project. Although I would miss out on this sponsorship, I will definitely be able to think of a way in the future.
Since... I might as well rely on my obsession with scientific research to heal my 'emotional injury'. "
An Heng twitched the corners of his mouth, trying his best to appear relaxed, as if he was joking.
"Senior..."
Mu Song was skeptical, but seeing the hidden emotion in An Heng's eyes, he felt that this might be the best choice.
Although he and An Heng are not the kind of people who would abandon the public due to personal interests or affect their business because of emotional problems, it does not mean that they can be completely calm emotionally, especially for An Heng.
When he was a child, Mu Song thought that An Heng was born with a good temper, and even rarely had emotions. When he grew up, he realized that everyone is the same, but everyone controls and suppresses emotions differently.
A quiet person like An Heng actually digests his emotions by himself, and it takes a lot of energy to show the peace and stability to outsiders anytime and anywhere.
Mu Song didn't want An Heng to be burdened with emotions because of himself, not to mention that there was Lu Yuan involved...
Thinking of Lu Yuan, Mu Song felt even more that if An Heng left here, he would be far away from right and wrong. Although he was very reluctant, he also wanted to understand that it was the best for An Heng.
"Then, I can only wish the seniors a smooth research and an early triumph..."
Mu Song picked up the tea cup and touched An Heng's cup to express his sincere blessing.
"Well, yes, the last time I went, I already had some clues. It is estimated that in three years, I will be able to make some valuable results."
As An Heng spoke, he also raised his glass and raised it as a return to Mu Song. He drank it all in one gulp, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.
"Senior, will you go back to school during your research? Can we still meet?"
"Of course, every year I will come back for a while, and when the time comes, I will spot check your study progress."
"Haha, then you have to say hello to me in advance, don't make a surprise attack, otherwise, I will have to avoid you."
Talking and laughing, the atmosphere that was permeated with parting sorrow before became brisk, and there were sincere smiles on the faces of An Heng and Mu Song.
"Oh, I don't come back for a few days every year, and you still want to avoid me, so I might as well not come back."
"How can that be done?! If you really don't come back, what should our group of students who are waiting to be fed do?"
Mu Song became anxious, his almond eyes widened even more, as if he was genuinely questioning.
"Haha, why are you still acting like you were when you were a child, just take it seriously when you say it casually."
An Heng smiled dotingly.
"How could I be willing to part with you little cuties? Don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you.
Moreover, if you have time during the winter and summer vacations, you can also come to me. By the way, I will help you out. I will take care of food and housing, but I will not be paid. "
As An Heng spoke, his smile widened, and the peach blossom eyes behind the glasses were filled with warmth, making Mu Song contagiously happy.
"Wow, the senior is so smart, he even calculated free labor! However, I have no problem, even if I pay for it myself, I will visit the senior and bring little angel Liu Yun with me..."
"Liu Yun... I might take him with me."
"what?!"
"He is in the third year of graduate school this year, and he is about to graduate. A while ago, he discussed with me that he still wants to get another doctorate. It just so happens that after this project is followed, the doctoral dissertation can be written."
"..."
Mu Song's disappointment was ready to come out, even more obvious than when he knew that An Heng had left.
"Oh, what's the matter? Knowing that Liu Yun is leaving, I feel more sad than knowing that I am leaving."
An Heng smiled half-smile, teasing Mu Song.
"Of course not... I just thought that the senior was gone, at least Liu Yun could take me with me. Now, all hope is gone, hey..."
Mu Song was downcast, really like a lost lamb, looking helpless.
"Haha, you kid, you usually seem to have a lot of ideas, why are you so clingy?
Speaking of which, if it weren't for a coincidence, you would have faced a completely unfamiliar environment when you were admitted to the school. Now, at least everyone is almost familiar with it. "
"That being said, but, I, hey...forget it, let's not talk about it, I will definitely visit you during the winter and summer vacations."
Mu Song pursed his lips, suppressed his disappointment, and tried his best to reassure An Heng.
Seeing his pretending to be strong, An Heng sighed secretly, and forced a smile.
"Okay, don't be sad. When I get stable over there and your basic courses are almost finished, I can help you contact the exchange student program over there."
"real?!"
Mu Song's eyes lit up.
"Well, when did the senior fool you?"
An Heng smiled, suppressing the surging emotions.
Lu Yuan is such a thoughtful person, in the contract, he is only required not to return to the country, so he must be confident that as long as he does not return to the country, he can handle Mu Song.
He could indeed take advantage of this loophole and give Mu Song the opportunity to go abroad, but in the end whether Mu Song can go abroad, or whether he is willing to go abroad is beyond his control.
"With the senior's words, I feel relieved! I must study hard, lay a solid foundation, and go out as soon as possible to eat and drink with the senior."
"Haha, fragrant and spicy are probably more difficult. Learn about Nordic meatballs..."
After that, they chatted a lot, and they didn't leave until the restaurant closed at ten o'clock.
After sending Mu Song to the taxi, An Heng stood by the side of the road, watching the car drifting away, turned around, and entered a 24-hour coffee shop nearby.
Sitting in the seat by the window, watching the passing vehicles and pedestrians, I meditated silently for a long time, until the flow of people and traffic outside became thinner and thinner, then I took out my mobile phone and dialed the number.
"Professor An, it's so late, what's the matter?"
Lu Yuan obviously just took a shower, and the sound of a hair dryer came from the phone.
"Bring the contract, come to Jingcui's MCoffee, I'll wait for you here."
"It's so late, tomorrow."
"Tomorrow I may not want to sign."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, wait for me for half an hour."
In less than half an hour, Lu Yuan hurried over with a file bag, before his hair was completely dry and before he sat down, he heard An Heng speak.
"The contract can be signed, but one more clause must be added."
"what?"
Lu Yuan took his seat, unbuttoned his coat, and sat across from him imposingly, staring at An Heng, wanting to see what kind of request this professor of An Da had to make.
"I can terminate the agreement at any time and refund the payment made."
"What are you kidding? Then this agreement has almost no binding effect on you. Do you really think I am doing charity?"
"Then don't sign."
An Heng said, and was about to stand up and leave.
"and many more!"
Lu Yuan held his breath.
"Five times, five times the repayment of the amount paid, counted as liquidated damages."
An Heng was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Lu Yuan didn't know what to do, seeing An Heng's willingness to agree so happily, he felt more calculated, but the arrow was on the string, and he couldn't be bothered anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and add this, and handed it to An Heng.
Looking at Lu Yuan's flamboyant handwriting, revealing a corrupt mood, An Heng smiled lightly.
"Brother Lu, in fact, you can rest assured that I accepted your agreement not on impulse, but after careful consideration, unless I hear something..."
An Heng paused, raised his eyes, stared at Lu Yuan, his smile disappeared.
"For example, Xiao Song is not doing well... Otherwise, I won't give up this project easily."
"Professor An said so, then I can rest assured that you can keep your heart in your stomach. Such news will never-ever-impossible."
"Oh, that's the best, otherwise, I will correct today's decision at all costs."
"Don't worry, that day won't happen."
Lu Yuan took the contract, looked at An Heng's handsome signature, put the contract into the file bag, raised his eyes again, smiled, and looked at An Heng.
"Professor An really knows the current affairs. When we get married, I will remember to send you a wedding candy."
An Heng also looked at Lu Yuan with a calm expression and no emotion in his eyes. It took a while before he spoke.
"Lu Yuan, I only give you this chance, it's best not to let him down again."
Lu Yuan stared at An Heng, his eyes darkened, and he let out a long breath.
"No, never again."
