Cyrysanthemum Garden (ABO desire)-Chapter 34 -:33

After several rescue operations overnight, Sheng Fang was out of danger and his vital signs stabilized.

Sheng Shaoyou stayed up all night and returned home tired. As soon as he pressed his finger on the fingerprint lock, the door was opened from the inside.

Hua Yong was still awake.

Sheng Shaoyou looked at his pale face in astonishment: "Why are you here?"

As autumn approaches, the weather turns cold and the wind blows into the door.

He was worried that Hua Yong might catch a cold, so he put his arm around his shoulders and pushed him into the house, asking him, "Are you awake or haven’t you slept at all?"

Hua Yong obediently let him push her all the way to the entrance and replied softly, "I can’t sleep."

Sheng Shaoyou asked knowingly, "Why can’t you sleep?" He lowered his head and sniffed the soft floral scent on the back of his neck. All of his tiredness and restlessness immediately disappeared, and a soothed calmness surged in his heart.

The fragrance of flowers floats in the air, with a barely perceptible chill, gently entangling the chosen Alpha.

"I was worried about you, so I couldn’t sleep." Hua Yong took the initiative to hug him, and gently rubbed his cheek against Alpha’s shoulder: "Mr. Sheng, is your father okay?"

"Yeah." Sheng Shaoyou’s back tensed slightly, and he reached out to hug him back: "Don’t worry, it’s okay, I will take care of it." His voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself.

The Alpha’s skin was smooth and tight, his muscles were not thick, and they were evenly covered on his incredibly hard bones, which contained a huge explosive power. He reminded Hua Yong who was holding him all the time that this was a top-level Alpha, extremely powerful and very gentle, and his heart was a treasure that countless people dreamed of.

"If you encounter a similar situation next time, I won’t go home, and you go to bed first."

"No." The white and slender palms pressed tightly against the dark fabric, and the slender fingers stroked the Alpha’s elastic back muscles. Hua Yong, with her hands around her beloved Alpha, leaned on his shoulder sleepily like a cat that had run out of energy, "I can only sleep when you come back."

"Don’t act like a spoiled child." Sheng Shaoyou smiled softly, and said in a low voice: "If you want me to sleep with you, can you afford the price?" The Alpha’s body temperature penetrated the fabric and ironed into the palm of his hand. Hua Yong trembled, raised his head, and a serious light flashed in his bright eyes: "Is it expensive?"

That look seemed to be encouraging Sheng Shaoyou to name a price. No matter how much, Hua Yong was willing to pay and could afford it.

Sheng Shaoyou was amused by his overly serious look and deliberately said, "Well, it’s expensive. You can’t afford it."

Hua Yong looked into his eyes, and the two lights suddenly went out, and his eyes dimmed.

He pursed his lips: "Oh."

The night light was dim, and an orange flower bloomed on his tightly closed lips.

"It’s a lie."

The eyes covered by long thick eyelashes raised again, and their gazes met.

Sheng Shaoyou lowered his head and kissed the two aggrieved lips. His tongue tip soothingly pressed against the pearly teeth and swept across the smooth mouth.

"You still owe me money. If you continue to owe me money, you won’t be able to pay it back even if you sell it. Are you afraid?"

"I’ll sell it to you, no worries."

The kiss seemed to store electricity, making his beautiful eyes bright again. Hua Yong pressed his shoulder and confirmed with him: "Mr. Sheng, is it really that expensive?"

That look was so persistent and realistic that Sheng Shaoyou believed that Hua Yong really liked him and wanted to buy him at all costs.

Sheng Shaoyou smiled again, raised his narrow chin, kissed Hua Yong’s moist lips, and said, "It’s really expensive. But I won’t sell it to others, I’ll just sell it to you on credit? Okay?"

Hua Yong was happy now. He smiled with his eyes curved and said "Thank you Mr. Sheng" and "OK".

Sheng Fang’s condition was stable for only one night. The next day at noon, Sheng Shaoyou was unable to eat lunch because he was called back to the emergency room by the hospital during the morning meeting.

At this point, Sheng Shaoqing and his ilk were probably still asleep, and only Sheng Shaoyou and Chen Pinming were at the door of the emergency room.

The attending doctor took off his mask with a gloomy face and gave them a vaccination: "The person has been saved, but there is not much we can do for patients with advanced pheromone gland tumors."

Sheng Shaoyou was mentally prepared for this and nodded expressionlessly: "Yes."

"But..." The doctor suddenly changed the subject, causing the family member’s heart to tremble. "I heard from a senior who works in pharmaceuticals that X Holdings has developed a targeted drug for pheromone gland tumors, but it is still in the second phase of clinical trials. If, I mean if, you can contact the relevant person in charge and get the drug that is still in the experimental stage, then there may be a glimmer of hope."

Chen Pinming simply couldn’t bear to listen, he raised his eyes and glanced at Sheng Shaoyou’s expression. The young man in power had a stern face.

He was indeed an excellent decision maker. Even when facing life and death, he could show great restraint and calmness.

But Chen Pinming knew that he must be very upset, so he was unusually taciturn on the way back.

Sheng Shaoyou sat in the back seat on the driver’s side, his elbow resting on the door handle, his body leaning against the door, his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, looking very tired. The busy schedule and the intensity of the work these days made him almost forget that he was also a patient who was urged by the doctor to be hospitalized.

Why did it have to be X Holdings? Why did it have to be X Holdings that had been against Sheng Shaoyou recently and was specifically trying to make things difficult for him? !

Sheng Shaoyou had a splitting headache. He closed his eyes and thought all the way home, but he couldn’t come up with a decision. He cruelly convinced himself that if Sheng Fang died, then he died. It would be the best if he died. He could just divide up the last 10% of his shares and sell them before the stock price continued to fall.

The company belongs to Sheng Fang, not Sheng Shaoyou. Why doesn’t he just cash out and leave, instead of being tied to the empty title of chairman, and supporting a useless family for the old man who never forgot to plot against him until his death? Besides, he’s not his father alone, and if he dies, everyone will cry together! Why should he be the only one here racking his brains to come up with a solution?

Die now! Die cleanly.

"Mr. Sheng, we’re here."

Sheng Shaoyou wiped his face, opened the door and went out.

At 10 pm, Chang Yu returned home from a private party. There were two missed calls on his phone. He saw that they were both from Sheng Shaoyou. He did not dare to neglect it and called back immediately, but his tone was very calm: "Mr. Sheng, what can I do for you?"

"Secretary Chang." Sheng Shaoyou was calling alone in his study. After returning home from work in the afternoon, he sat in the study until dark. Halfway through, Hua Yong brought the food to the study, and only needed to hand him the spoon.

Sheng Shaoyou reluctantly ate a few bites, sent Hua Yong out, and hesitated alone in the study room. Finally, he put aside his pride and called Chang Yu of X Holdings. But the call didn’t go through, and Sheng Shaoyou became tormented. He finally made up his mind to beg for help, but he knelt at the door only to find that there was no one in the room.

Chang Yu called back two hours later. His voice was flat and his attitude was polite but distant.

Sheng Shaoyou felt it was difficult to say, but he didn’t show his resentment on his face. He smiled and said, "It’s been a while since we last contacted each other. Secretary Chang, how are you?"

"Thanks to Mr. Sheng." Chang Yu said, "I’ve been seeing news about Shengfang Group in the news recently. Mr. Sheng is so busy, how come he has time to think of me?"

Oh, the news? That can’t be good news.

Sheng Shaoyou forced a smile: "It’s some personal matters that I want to consult Secretary Chang."

"I’m all ears." Chang Yu didn’t dare to disrespect this future "boss lady", but he had to pretend to keep her at a distance. He prayed secretly that he would not be resented for this. Otherwise, judging from the extent of his boss’s obsession with this Alpha, the other party could make Chang Yu pay for it with just a little pillow talk.

... "Targeted drug?" He said in a surprised tone, "The news spreads so fast. Yes, we have indeed developed a special drug for pheromone gland cancer, and it has entered the clinical stage. But why did Mr. Sheng suddenly ask this?"

Sheng Shaoyou was not used to begging people in a low voice. No matter how uncertain he was, he calmed down and said calmly, "My father’s health has not been very good. He retired due to illness a few years ago and has been hospitalized for quite some time—" He tightened his grip on the phone, but his voice was still smiling, "Today, the doctor said that the targeted drugs developed by your group are good news for all patients.

So, I can only shamelessly disturb Secretary Chang. My father’s illness still depends on Secretary Chang’s care."

Sheng Shaoyou finished what he had to say, and when Chang Yu didn’t answer, he immediately added sincerely: "As the saying goes, great favors don’t need to be thanked. As long as Secretary Chang is willing to help, if you need me in the future, just ask."

Even if there was a place where Sheng Shaoyou could be used, Chang Yu would not dare to bother him.

He just hoped that Sheng Shaoyou would not be so difficult to deal with, and would give in quickly, so that his boss could get what he wanted sooner and make life easier for his subordinates.

"Mr. Sheng, I can’t agree to this right away." Chang Yu said thoughtfully, "Our boss has been very busy recently and has not been involved in the specific affairs of the group for a long time. However, he has personally taken care of the development of pheromone gland cancer targeted drugs. He even signed the project approval document two years ago."

Two years ago? Wasn’t that when Sheng Fang was diagnosed with prostate cancer? How could it be such a coincidence? It seemed that even God thought that his father, who was always merciful, should not die.

Sheng Shaoyou’s heart was beating like a drum and he was in agony like an ant on a hot pan, but he pretended to be calm and listened to what the other party was saying with steady breathing.

"——The boss is extremely concerned about this drug. Everyone in the R&D team, from the person in charge to the scientific research team members, can report directly to the central office. So, I’m afraid I have to go back and report to the boss before I can give you a reply."

Sheng Shaoyou hadn’t expected that a phone call would make Chang Yu so kind as to give him medicine.

Seeing that he agreed to "go back and discuss it", he felt more hopeful and his tense expression eased a little: "I understand. I’ll wait for your good news. Thank you very much."

When Sheng Fang was first diagnosed, Sheng Shaoyou had thought about developing targeted drugs.

The incidence of this disease is so high that as long as the specific drug can be successfully developed and eventually approved for marketing, it will be a sure-win business.

However, drug research and development is truly a life-and-death struggle, with tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars invested each year and an average research and development cycle of more than ten years...and even with such huge initial investment, 99 percent of new drugs will still fail in the endless darkness before dawn. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Two years ago, as the youngest parachuted member of the board of directors, Sheng Shaoyou had a heavy load on his shoulders. He wanted to try but had no right to gamble. He could not bet on the future of the entire Shengfang Group or the life of Shengfang.

Now that he finally has the ability to go his own way, Sheng Fang can’t wait any longer.

The critical illness notices that came like snowflakes made Sheng Shaoyou truly realize what it meant to "a son wants to take care of his parents but they are no longer around". The dog emperor of X Holdings was so accurate in his luck that he hit Sheng Shaoyou’s vital point at once, and he actually completed the journey that others would not be able to complete in ten years in just two years.

However, what Sheng Shaoyou didn’t know was that for this targeted drug, X Holdings, under the strong promotion of the head of the family, had put all its efforts in the past two years. In order to catch up with the research and development progress, the research institute worked day and night, and the annual investment in the research and development of this drug alone exceeded 100 billion.
