713 The Little Expert at Mediating
Since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, Lin Yi prepared to return to Jiuzhou Pavilion to work on Chip 3.0.
Director Shenâs research could make progress at any time.
He had to hold on tight on his side. He could not drag down the development of the lithography machine.
Ring!
!!
Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was a call from Liang Ruoxu.
âYou still have the cheek to call me?â Lin Yi said.
âHuh? Why would I be embarrassed to call you?â
âI was halfway through my pleasurable experience and you got me kicked out. I really admire you.â
âHave a conscience. Ever since the reopening, I havenât interfered when you went there yourself, right?â
âThen why did you bother me yesterday?â
âYanyan has learned some bad things from you. How dare you say that?â
âWhatâs wrong with that? Life only runs for a few decades. Donât you have to try everything? Itâs just a special massage parlor and spa. Whatâs wrong with that?â
âSpeak louder. Youâre on loudspeaker. Uncle Chen happens to be beside me. Let him hear what youâre doing with his daughter.â
âDamn, why are the two of you together?â
âThe R&D center had the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the morning. After that, Uncle Chen and I came back together.â Liang Ruoxu said, âAre you free? Come over now. Uncle Chen wants to have a meal with you.â
âOkay, where are you guys?â
âAt the office cafeteria.â
âYouâre eating at the office cafeteria? Thatâs a little degrading. Letâs go to my Peninsula Hotel.â
âTry your best to avoid any trouble and just come over quickly. Uncle Chen is waiting for you.â
âSure.â
Lin Yi wasnât interested in idle chit-chat, but he still had to meet Chen Yanâs father.
Turning the car around, Lin Yi drove to Liang Ruoxuâs unit and met Chen Shunjie in the canteen.
Chen Shunjieâs appearance was similar to what Lin Yi had expected. He had a medium build, wore glasses, and had short hair. He gave off a refreshing feeling.
âYou must be Lin Yi. Itâs been so long, and Iâm finally seeing you in person.â
Seeing Lin Yi, Chen Shunjie extended his hand to greet him.
âDirector Chen, hello.â
âDirector Chen, youâre treating me like an outsider.â
âThatâs not true.â Lin Yi chuckled. âIâm just a businessman. I have to avoid any sudden accusations.â
âHahaâ¦â
Chen Shunjie smiled. âKid, you know quite a lot. Donât worry, there are no outsiders here. If youâre not afraid that Iâll take advantage of you, just call me Uncle Chen like Little Mi does.â
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony with you.â
âCome on, donât stand there. Letâs eat first.â
âOkay.â
The dining venue was in a single room in the canteen where the chef had set up a private kitchen.
Although the decor was not great, the taste was definitely good.
âWhy isnât Chen Yan here?â Lin Yi asked after sitting down.
âThe R&D center just opened today, so they are scoping out nearby restaurants. Hence, they didnât join us,â Liang Ruoxu said.
Lin Yi nodded and did not say anything else.
âBy the way, I have something for you this time.â
With that, Chen Shunjie handed a brown paper document bag to Lin Yi.
âHmm? What is it?â
âYouâll know when you see it.â
Lin Yi opened the brown paper bag, revealing a red-covered ID.
âHm? Secretary-General of the Medical Association?â
âItâs a position.â Chen Shunjie said.
âYouâve done so much for Huaxia. I donât have anything to thank you for, so I got you this. Although itâs just a position, itâs not just for show. It has real power, but you donât have to hold any position. Therefore, it wonât waste your time.â
Originally, Chen Shunjie wanted to make this matter public and further increase Lin Yiâs reputation.
However, because of Shen Shuyiâs advice, he gave up on this plan.
Looking at the ID in his hand, Lin Yi felt that Chen Shunjie was very sincere.
After all, this was a document with real power. It was not just for show.
âThank you, Uncle Chen.â
âThereâs no need to be so polite. You deserve it. Compared to what youâve done, my work is nothing,â Chen Shunjie said.
âBy the way, your businesses are now focused on the Internet and the technology industry. Do you have any plans to develop physical products?â
âDoes Uncle Chen want me to enter the pharmaceutical industry?â
...
Chen Shunjie nodded noncommittally. âYour ability is obvious to all. I can still help you from above. Itâs a good time to do it now since if you wait a few more years I might retire. By then, I donât know if the higher-ups will continue to support you.â
Lin Yi was a little emotional. When people reached a certain level, even if they didnât want to earn money, someone would put money in their pockets.
As the saying goes, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
âHahaha⦠let me think.â
Lin Yiâs answer was within Liang Ruoxuâs expectations.
Lin Yi didnât value money that much. He wasnât like ordinary people.
âAre you unwilling to do it?â Chen Shunjie asked, but he was not angry.
âI know Uncle Chen is doing this for my own good, but my timeline might not allow it,â Lin Yi said.
âI canât spend all my time on pharmaceutical research. If I leave it to others to manage, it will be difficult for me to grow it to become a world-class company.â
With that, Lin Yi paused. âSecondly, the tallest tree attracts the wind. I still want to be free. Iâll hand to torture myself with the photolithography machine for the time being.â
âLin Yi is used to being lazy. If he were to sit in the office obediently, he would fall sick in less than two days,â Liang Ruoxu tried to smooth things over.
...
âTsk tsk tsk, you know me best.â Lin Yi said.
âAlthough I donât am not looking to do this for the time being, Iâll still help if you encounter any problems in the research and development of future medicine. Instead of establishing a new company, itâll be better to nurture multiple firms. Otherwise, it will involve new interests, which is obviously not a good thing.â
âKid, youâre still young, but youâve seen through these things quite thoroughly.â Chen Shunjie said.
âIn that case, I wonât force you. But if you change your mind, you can call me anytime. If I can give you the green light, Iâll sign it.â
âThank you, Uncle Chen.â
âBy the way, the R&D center is developing a blood clotting drug. I heard that thereâs been a breakthrough. Do you know anything about the situation here?â
âI knew about this the last time I went to the research and development center,â Lin Yi said.
âIâve already sorted out the general formula. Iâll let the people below handle the experimental proofing stage.â
âYou got it out so quickly?â
âThis medicine is different from those that treat rare diseases. Thereâs a lot of information to refer to, so it doesnât take long.â
âThatâs good.â Chen Shunjie said.
âThe prices of these thrombus-solving drugs on the market are generally high, while the treatment effect is limited. We need a new drug to break the market stalemate.â
âAlright, after dinner, Lin Yi and I will go to the research and development center and settle this matter.â
Lin Yi glanced at Liang Ruoxu. She immediately agreed on his behalf?
âYouâre quite the mediator.â
