"Besides, the Nobel Prize comes with a lot of money! A lot!"

Zhao Bowen almost shook Qingyun's shoulders and roared. He was no longer the naive young man he once was. After working with Qingyun for so many years, he could easily see that these seemingly miraculous ideas all came from Qingyun.

At first, he regarded Qingyun as a god, but no matter how he questioned her, Qingyun refused to admit it.

Now, he was so frustrated with Qingyun that he wanted to strangle her.

"Okay, I understand. You can go now." Almost instantly, Qingyun threw herself back into her work. Zhao Bowen would occasionally snap out of his daze, but he was used to it. This guy was progressing very quickly; in the area of ​​new drug development, Zhao Bowen was already capable of handling things independently.

As for Qingyun, he knew perfectly well which prescriptions from his original world these things came from, and with his pride, he had no intention of taking them for himself.

"You!" Zhao Bowen was about to say something when he turned his head and saw the window on Qingyun's computer screen.

Zou Minchen's dark, unfathomable eyes were staring at him with a gloomy expression.

Zhao Bowen was immediately jolted awake and turned around to walk out.

Qingyun is video chatting with that terrifying man again!

After Zhao Bowen left, Zou Minchen's expression immediately softened. He looked at Qingyun's profile, who was engrossed in her work, and after a while, he broke the silence by saying, "It's getting late, time for lunch, hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyun glanced at the time and realized it was indeed lunchtime. He picked up his phone and asked his secretary to order food. Although Zou Minchen reminded him, he remained seated at his computer, showing no intention of leaving.

"What are you planning to eat for lunch today?" Zou Minchen asked him.

"Hmm..." Qingyun rested her chin on her phone and thought for a while before reciting a few dish names.

Zou Minchen immediately wrote it down and had someone prepare a late-night snack accordingly. It wasn't intended to be sent to Qingyun, since the two were now separated by an ocean.

He was simply used to eating the same dishes as Qingyun, as if that gave him the feeling of dining with her.

After lunch, Qingyun was going to take a nap and got up to turn off the video.

Zou Minchen hurriedly replied, "I've booked a flight for tomorrow."

"Hmm? What, business?" Qingyun asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, I'm going to see you." Zou Minchen chuckled softly. Although Qingyun hadn't reciprocated his feelings yet, their relationship had become much more harmonious. Unfortunately, both of them had plenty of things to do, and even if Zou Minchen was extremely unpredictable, he couldn't just abandon the vast Zou Group to go find Qingyun.

"Oh? That's a pity." Qingyun lowered her eyes, concealing the smile in them.

"What a pity?" Zou Minchen tensed up instantly and leaned closer to the screen.

He instantly considered all the possibilities. Had he been too late? Had Qingyun accepted someone else's advances?

"Unfortunately, I have to go back to China tomorrow." Qingyun finally couldn't help but smile slightly, and then he turned off the video as soon as he finished speaking.

"You... really are..." Zou Minchen relaxed, leaning back in his chair, both amused and exasperated. After a moment's thought, he realized that Qingyun had pulled another prank.

From his recent words, Qingyun could easily guess that Zou Minchen intended to visit him in the United States. He had originally planned to return to China, but he waited until Zou Minchen had worked hard to arrange everything before revealing the news.

"Naughty." Zou Minchen looked at the dark video window, his voice filled with affection.

They knew nothing about Qingyun's return to China.

Xiao Chengzhe is currently preparing for a highly valuable collaboration. After Qingyun left, Xiao's father gradually relinquished power to Xiao Chengzhe, who is now the de facto head of the Xiao family business.

Recently, the Zou family has been preparing to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies to develop a batch of vaccines to prevent infection by a virus. A large number of pharmaceutical companies are vying for this opportunity, given the Zou family's immense influence across various sectors; they are a behemoth dominating the entire country. Collaborating with the Zou family is a rare opportunity. It will not only enhance the company's reputation but also allow them to gain wider public recognition.

This is the first major collaboration Xiao Chengzhe has faced since taking power. If he secures this opportunity, Xiao's father will likely officially announce Xiao Chengzhe as the next president of Xiao's Pharmaceuticals, so he has to be cautious.

However, Xiao Chengzhe was not too worried. After all, Xiao's Pharmaceutical was the most promising pharmaceutical company in China, and he also had a relationship with Zou Qiyao. If there were no unexpected events, the opportunity for cooperation would definitely fall into Xiao's hands.

Xiao Chengzhe leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face. He turned around and looked at the bustling street scene of Yancheng below the floor-to-ceiling window, his mood unusually calm.

This was only the beginning of his illustrious life.

As for where Xiao Chengnuo went, Xiao Chengzhe is not worried now, because he is about to get what he wants, while Xiao Chengnuo is destined to have nothing.

Of course, if he saw Xiao Chengnuo again, he wouldn't mind kicking him when he was down.
