Chapter 2096: Chapter 2056: Beauty Enhancement
Ye Qiu was surprised to find that Miss Jia, in reincarnation, found a father who also had the surname Jia. Furthermore, the family’s situation was quite good. In this sense, it truly was fate and could be considered as the fortune Miss Jia cultivated in her previous life.
The fifty thousand was just pocket change to Ye Qiu, but he still mentioned it.
Looking at the sky now, the time was still early morning. Ye Qiu was preparing to go back and continue cultivating.
The next morning, when Ye Qiu got up, freshened up, and went downstairs for breakfast, Lin Xiang asked, "Ye Qiu, are you going back to school?"
"Not going back."
For Ye Qiu, there was nothing more to learn at university. He had already experienced college life.
Therefore, it was better to devote his time to other matters.
Thinking that he hadn’t seen Zhou Wenting for a long time, Ye Qiu decided to go visit.
When he got in the car, he called Zhou Wenting and asked, "Hey, where are you?"
"At home, just finished breakfast."
Zhou Wenting had been dedicating all her energy to Ye Qiu’s antiviral research laboratory, almost to the point of exhaustion.
Of course, Ye Qiu hadn’t visited her for quite some time, which made Zhou Wenting very unhappy.
Ye Qiu drove to Wang Yulian’s villa, and as he approached the door, Wang Yulian recognized him immediately.
"Doctor Ye, you haven’t visited for a long time," Wang Yulian said.
"Auntie, I’ve been really busy."
Having just finished breakfast, Zhou Wenting didn’t quite believe Ye Qiu’s excuse. Surely, he couldn’t be too busy to come spend time with her, right?
When Wang Yulian asked Ye Qiu whether he had eaten breakfast, Ye Qiu had already eaten. Upon entering Wenting’s room, Ye Qiu noticed that Zhou Wenting’s face wasn’t as fair as it used to be.
Moreover, her hands seemed to have calluses.
Ye Qiu had visited the antiviral drug research laboratory at Jiangbei development area several times, and now with the ongoing foundation construction, dust swirled everywhere, making it unsuitable for entry.
"Why do you look so much darker?"
"What do you think? Although I’m not exposed to sun and rain, I often go there to inspect, and obviously my skin has gotten darker."
Previously, Zhou Wenting rarely used cosmetics, but as women reach a certain age, combined with environmental factors, skin maintenance becomes even more challenging.
When Ye Qiu’s gaze lingered on her face, Zhou Wenting hurriedly checked herself in the mirror, realizing her skin used to be fair and rosy.
Now, looking at her face, it appeared somewhat yellow and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were quite noticeable.
Zhou Wenting was already twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and even though she took good care of her skin before, constantly commuting to construction sites for the past half year took a toll.
"No, don’t look. It’s kind of ugly."
Zhou Wenting hurriedly said.
"You haven’t been going to the construction site every day, have you?"
That land was provided by the Su Family, though only offering some shares, and the construction was being handled by Su Family Real Estate Group.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Wenting didn’t actually need to visit daily.
"I go a few times a week. What should I do with my skin?"
Zhou Wenting asked worriedly.
When she prepared to search for cosmetics, Ye Qiu said, "Cosmetics won’t help you; they’re not going to cover up your skin tone."
"Then what?"
"Close your eyes for a while, then it will be fine."
Zhou Wenting was still somewhat sceptical.
When she closed her eyes, Ye Qiu placed his hand on her face and said, "Let me give you a massage, the wrinkles on your face will disappear."
Will the wrinkles disappear?
Zhou Wenting still found it hard to believe.
But she knew Ye Qiu’s medical skills were formidable.
As Zhou Wenting lay down, her head resting on Ye Qiu’s lap, he began to massage her.
Actually, it only took about fifteen minutes, but Zhou Wenting found Ye Qiu’s massage technique so comfortable she almost fell asleep.
When Zhou Wenting opened her eyes, she asked, "Is it done?"
"Take a look in the mirror yourself."
Holding up the mirror eagerly, Zhou Wenting saw her skin, particularly around the eyes, that had no traces of wrinkles. Even the fine crow’s feet were gone.
Ye Qiu was simply amazing!
In reality, to Ye Qiu, it was hardly anything since he could completely cure muscle atrophy.
"This is truly natural."
"If I can keep such a youthful look forever, that’d be nice."
Ye Qiu chuckled without elaborating.
In his storage ring, there were all kinds of immortal pills; taking them, not only would one maintain youthful looks but perhaps even achieve immortality.
The issue was that the storage ring couldn’t be opened now, so he couldn’t access the treasures inside.
With such worries gone, Zhou Wenting’s earlier dissatisfaction with Ye Qiu disappeared as well.
"The antiviral research laboratory has been rushing to finish, hoping to get the indoor work done before the temperature drops."
"No need to hurry; it’s okay to finish it by next year."
However, the antiviral drug research laboratory’s focus was primarily on the foundation, with the underground part dug tens of meters deep. The above-ground structure wouldn’t need to be too tall, probably just four or five stories.
Since most of the research at the lab would happen underground, besides preventing leaks and water seepage, the oxygen supply was the only concern.
But underground is not uncommon, as subways are usually tens of meters deep, making it hardly a concern.
Ye Qiu observed the construction progress, noting that two-thirds of the project was completed while one-third remained. With October creeping in, and then November, temperatures would drop. By December, construction generally halts completely.
With the temperature too cold, both indoor and outdoor projects become unsuitable for work, and building materials also can’t be guaranteed under low-temperature conditions.
Trying to rush construction within the next month or two seems unlikely, according to Ye Qiu, as he demands guaranteed quality. Otherwise, rushing to build this world-class antiviral research laboratory might end up being inferior to ordinary local labs.
Having invested so much money, Ye Qiu didn’t want to see a shoddy project materialize.
"Let’s allow the construction progress to follow its natural course."
If Ye Qiu wasn’t worried, Zhou Wenting certainly wouldn’t be. She thought getting the lab ready quickly and developing effective drugs for market would earn money.
Ye Qiu wasn’t in a rush; now, neither was she.
"Should we go to the construction site and take a look?"
"Of course."
After agreeing, they left the room and went outside, where Wang Yulian asked, "Where are you two going?"
"Mom, we’re planning to check out the construction site this afternoon."
