Free Web NovelChapter 665: Chapter 374: Wishing you success, keep going!
In the past ten days, Zhao Yi has been collating his achievements, seriously preparing for his academic presentation, and also thinking about the direction of his continued research on ’Multi-dimensional Space Boundary’.
Research and thinking significantly consume brain cells. Long periods of serious thinking leave him feeling exhausted, so sometimes when he wanted to relax, he simply went to the Biomedical Research Institute.
Working on experiments at the Biomedical Research Institute was indeed straightforward for Zhao Yi. If a result could be achieved, he would just use his ability. If a result could not be achieved, he would mostly be at a loss.
"Is this the difference between science and technology?" Zhao Yi thought mockingly to himself.
Of course not.
Technology was also very difficult; it’s just that he had a system.
Zhao Yi’s laboratory didn’t have any significant projects for the time being. They were still mainly dealing with several small projects related to HIV research, which were primarily led by Zhang Wei.
Liu Chengjie and Yan Yi were working on small research projects they had personally taken on. They were attempting to independently manage projects, which was also part of their growth process.
Fan Lei would come by every day to check in, see if he could be of any assistance. More importantly for him, he became familiar with everyone at the institute, gaining some understanding of their research needs. After graduation, he planned to work at the institute, dealing with logistics-related work. freēwebnovel.com
Logistics certainly didn’t compare with direct research in terms of salary, benefits, and importance, but Director Yan had promised him a formal administrative position, which had substantial potential.
Zhao Yi sat in the laboratory, reviewing recent research materials.
Fan Lei walked in, his face filled with excitement, and said, "Zhao Yi, Guess what?!"
"What has got you so excited?"
"You don’t know?" Fan Lei turned to look at Liu Chengjie, then whispered, "I don’t know if I should keep this a secret. I ran into Director Yan downstairs just now, and he said he will take me to Wucheng tomorrow to discuss a big business deal!"
"Director Yan’s taking you to discuss a significant project?" Zhao Yi was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, he is?"
Zhao Yi asked with some confusion, "What help can you provide?"
"Don’t underestimate me."
Confidently, Fan Lei thumped his chest and said, "Let me tell you, I am super good at business negotiations. Just by the look of my face, any opponent immediately gives way. We are just too handsome; others can’t compete!"
"... I understand now."
Zhao Yi stared at Fan Lei’s face and said with a sigh, "Director Yan must have decided to include you at the last minute because your face is thick enough."
"Hahaha..."
Fan Lei didn’t care about what Zhao Yi said. Going on a trip with the director to talk about business was not chiefly about the business discussion, but about getting the director’s attention.
Of course, Zhao Yi didn’t care.
Fan Lei, however, cared a lot. Without extraordinary technical skills, he had to rely on his eloquence to have a good career.
Such was the reality.
...
Zhao Yi was a bit puzzled by Fan Lei’s excited talk about going on a business discussion trip with Director Yan.
Wucheng?
Wasn’t there a pharmaceutical company that they were cooperating with, located in Wucheng?
Negotiating a deal?
Could it be about the Medical Science Center... Impossible!
The sponsorship and construction of the Medical Science Center were almost finalized. Once the pharmaceutical company had determined how much funding to provide, that would be enough. As for how to proceed with construction and how to distribute the funding, they were all matters for the university, colleges, and research institutes. There was no need to specifically negotiate these.
Then, what could this ’big deal’ be?
Three days later.
As Zhao Yi and Li Renzhe were intensely involved in a game, Fan Lei burst in, shouting, "I’m back!"
"..."
No one paid him any attention.
Zhao Yi and Li Renzhe were still engrossed in their game.
"Stop playing, Zhao Yi!" Fan Lei, looking somewhat tired, approached Zhao Yi from behind, "Director Yan asked me to come inform you to hurry to the research institute."
"What happened?"
"There’s a big thing happening, hurry up! Here, let me play for you!"
Zhao Yi, feeling annoyed, stood up and gave his seat to Fan Lei, emphasizing, "Don’t die though, I’ve already reached 7-0."
"OK!"
"I don’t believe in your skills..."
Zhao Yi muttered discontentedly. Knowing that Fan Lei’s return must be to announce some ’big deal’, he went directly to the research institute without asking Fan Lei about it, as it could involve confidentiality issues.
At the small meeting room of the research institute.
Zhao Yi entered and scanned the room. Almost immediately, he knew it had to be related to the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule because all the people present were involved in the project.
Dai Tianqing, Han Hui, Li Ming, Ai Lixin, Chen Zhigang, Zhang Wei, and Director Yan were all present.
Liu Chengjie, Yan Yi, and others in the lab were also aware of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule, but their skill level and abilities were not high enough, so they were not included in the later stages of the research.
As soon as Director Yan saw Zhao Yi entering, he quickly motioned him to sit down, saying excitedly, "The pharmaceutical company that we’re collaborating with has encountered some problems with drug development!"
"Huh?"
The news was so abrupt that no one in the meeting room knew about it, causing them to exchange surprised glances. They didn’t understand why Director Yan would be happy about ’issues in drug development’.
Shouldn’t he be feeling frustrated?
At the very least, they were feeling quite frustrated because if the drug development encountered problems, the results would be delayed, and the world’s attention might miss out on a major medical breakthrough. If published, it would certainly attract global attention, and perhaps even win major awards.
