Chapter 1283 The Returnee's Notes 357

Her research work is highly confidential, and even Lin Shu was not fully aware of it, which is why she doesn't want to appear in public.

Instead, they need to keep a low profile, hide away, and focus on their research.

Moreover, she doesn't care about empty fame; she prefers tangible things.

Of course, she also knew Lin Shu's purpose.

"You think I'm not considering the bigger picture enough?"

She wanted to promote an outstanding female scientist to the public. Whether it's a female scientist or someone from another profession, there needs to be someone to lead the way.

Xie Ning was one of the people she chose.

Moreover, they are partners; Xie Ning is, after all, from a research institute.

She is outstanding and deserves to be a role model.

However, this was dangerous for Xie Ning, and he did not agree with Lin Shu's self-deprecating remark.

"The so-called big picture and your pursuit are not contradictory. It's just that I haven't had time to deal with the troubles caused by excessive exposure in the past few years."

Therefore, I suggest finding someone else.

Xie Ning didn't say anything about trivial matters between men and women, which made Lin Shu feel much better.

She grew up on barren land and knew how harsh it was, which is why she wanted to transform it into fertile soil.

This is her original aspiration.

It seems that for someone in her current position, worrying about these things would be incomprehensible to many.

She should be thinking about bigger, more important things, but... it is precisely because such demands are being ignored that she needs to take them seriously.

Her initial intention in searching for Xie Ning was not this, but she unexpectedly discovered that a women's magazine that had gradually become popular in recent years was invested in by Xie Ning.

There are also specialized girls' schools, factories with only female employees, law firms that provide assistance to women, and so on—Xie Ning's influence can be seen behind all of these.

She herself has also reached a position that is difficult for others to reach at an extremely fast pace.

Lin Shu put a piece of meat on Xie Ning's plate.

"Your suggestion is excellent, but with your abilities, you're somewhat overqualified for your current position."

It means to promote Xie Ning to another rank.

Xie Ning looked at Lin Shu hesitantly, wanting to ask if Lin Shu was serious.

Although she has the ability and research achievements to back her up, her rapid rise can easily attract dissatisfaction. Don't think that there's nothing dirty in the scientific community.

Many of the people there are not only brilliant in research, but also very shrewd in other areas.

Resources are limited, and everyone is scrambling for them.

Then there are those who have little scientific research ability but are very good at finding business opportunities. They can use some vague technical concepts to deceive many uninformed people and make a lot of money.

"Can you do it?" Lin Shu asked with a half-smile.

"It has to be done!" This is also an opportunity.

Lin Shu laughed a few times, and after finishing their conversation and seeing Xie Ning off, he added, "By the way, Zhou Ke is one of my men, and he brought you a gift."

Since we've already agreed on the cooperation, it's better to be open and honest with each other.

Xie Ning nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

After walking out the door, Xie Ning turned back to look at Lin Shu, who had his back to her. If asked how much she believed Lin Shu's "original intention," she would say at most four points.

The remaining six points represent ambition.

But that doesn't matter; ambition is a great catalyst.

Ouyang Lin, who was waiting outside, had already given Tian Ziyu and Zhou Ke a meal. Even Heidan got a special cat meal and ate until his belly was full.

Xie Ning chuckled, "Aren't you afraid you'll throw up all night?"

One time, Heidan couldn't resist eating too much, and soon after eating, he vomited up both his fur and food, and had to take medicine for several days.

Black Egg remained silent, simply burying its head and pretending to be dead.

Xie Ning received Lin Shu's gift after returning to her dormitory.

It is a report that details the aftermath of the actions taken against Wangjiang Group and some of its affiliated smaller companies.

As a result, the Wangjiang Group and the people of Yuemen went completely underground.

And if they show their faces, they'll get beaten.

Zhou Ke bowed slightly and said, "Their main industries have all moved overseas, making it difficult to crack down on them, but we will try our best to clean them up."

"Is Wangjiang Group mainly engaged in the medical industry?"

"Yes, pharmaceuticals and some medical devices."

Xie Ning tapped the table. "Does your Lin family have any related businesses?"

Zhou Ke was puzzled, but he nodded nonetheless. The Lin family had members from all walks of life, after all, they had a terrible past and just wanted to find a way to make a living.

Money is saved up little by little.

Xie Ning closed his eyes slightly, then decided to suppress the attack from another angle.

She also has many remedies, including those related to medical devices, which you can try, but of course, it will cost money.

We can't just give it away for free.

Zhou Ke couldn't make the decision himself, so he contacted his family to discuss cooperation with Xie Ning. They weren't surprised at all that Xie Ning had so many good things, after all, he was Xie Li's apprentice.

Although the Xie family lineage is small, they have a lot of good things.

Xie Ning didn't have much time to discuss cooperation; he delegated the task to his subordinates.

Xiao Liu's abilities aren't quite there yet, but she can go with her people and consider it a learning experience.

Whether it's Xiao Liu or anyone else in the company, Xie Ning will give them opportunities to learn, because no one is omnipotent from the start.

As a result, the atmosphere at Xie Ning's company is excellent. If it weren't for the rule that they have to leave work, they would really like to stay up late to work overtime. After all, the overtime pay is really generous, and there is also a late-night snack. If it gets too late, there is also a special car to pick them up and drop them off.

This is absolutely amazing!

Xiao Liu also likes to work overtime because it brings in more money; she really likes money.

Her mother was always happy whenever she sent money to her, and her mother never gave the money to her brother.

After all, his brother gambles; once he gets money, it's gone in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Liu's mother was just saving it up, thinking of giving it to Xiao Liu when she urgently needed it.

Xiao Liu, on the other hand, took the initiative to build a house for her hometown. With only a few hundred thousand yuan, she could build a very nice house in the village.

Because of this, her parents transferred the house directly to her.

Xiao Liu's father is getting old, and it's obvious to everyone who can take care of him in his old age that he's the one with the ability.

Xiao Liu herself knew perfectly well that she was still better off than other families who used their daughters' money to subsidize their sons.

The older she got, the more timid she became, losing her courage to see things in black and white. As a child, she hated her father because he gambled and had even beaten her. She always thought that she would leave far away when she grew up, but when she thought of the good things her father had done for her, she hesitated and couldn't bear to leave him.

Sometimes she feels like her whole being is fragmented.

"Xiao Liu, are you ready?"

The person I went to discuss the collaboration with was a senior colleague in her forties, whom I usually call Sister Hong. The two of them work for different companies, and she is one of Xie Ning's assistants.

Xiao Liu always thought she was very capable. Although the company didn't always care that much about academic qualifications, very few of the company's employees had low educational backgrounds.

This Sister Hong only has a junior high school education. She doesn't know much about the inside story, only that Xie Ning recruited her in Beijing through direct hiring.

Hongjie is a very tactful person, which is not meant in a derogatory way.

Just one point: Xie Ning's assistant team has many members who are highly educated and capable, but they all respect Sister Hong.

Xiao Liu nodded when she saw Sister Hong walking over. "All packed up."

Then my gaze couldn't help but fall on Sister Hong's attire. She wasn't wearing a well-tailored blazer and pencil skirt, nor was she wearing high heels.

Instead, he wore a pair of simple white sneakers, and his suit jacket was a simple, loose-fitting gray-blue casual suit.

He was wearing jeans that seemed a bit out of place, and instead of a shirt, he was wearing a plain white short-sleeved shirt under his suit.

She, on the other hand, was dressed much more elegantly, and now, looking at her, he seemed a little uncomfortable, as if she were dressed too formally.

Seemingly noticing Xiao Liu's discomfort, Sister Hong looked Xiao Liu up and down and nodded approvingly, "This dress is very beautiful and suits you very well."

Xiao Liu relaxed and, under Hong Jie's guidance, became more and more talkative.

Finally, they even asked about the initial question they had about Sister Hong's outfit.

She felt a pang of regret the moment the question left her mouth; she had simply acted without thinking.

Sister Hong raised an eyebrow, leaned back, and glanced at Xiao Liu before looking out the window. "You need to know that whatever you wear, the premise is that you like it, not that it's good just because others say it's good."

So there's no need to take her words too seriously.

"There's nothing wrong with catering to a client's preferences in order to close a deal, but we're not begging them to cooperate now."

This cooperation has already been agreed upon by the higher-ups. The main issue is that some details have not been resolved. Both parties are on an equal footing in this cooperation.

Therefore, there's plenty of room to relax; this also sends a natural yet powerful signal.

Xiao Liu nodded, her demeanor becoming much more relaxed than before.

As for the partner, she initially thought that the person who came to discuss cooperation would be a serious person, but she didn't expect him to be a young and trendy young master.

He was lying there casually, with the sound of him playing games coming from his phone; it seemed rather impolite.

Fortunately, a man in a suit walked in the next moment and had his assistant drag the man out.
