A day later, Wu Xuelin came to the airport again to pick up his boss, still at one in the morning.

"I thought you would come back early, but I didn't expect you to come back after just one day." He thought that with Dai Li's personality, it would be impossible for her to play wholeheartedly for such a long time, and she would definitely come back early. However, she only played for one day, which really caught him off guard.

"I'm worried about leaving you alone in the company. I'm afraid you'll take advantage of the situation and empty the company out for me."

Wu Xuelin was busy helping her move her luggage. When he heard this, he looked over and saw her texting with one arm folded, her face serious.

"Boss, you really think highly of me. Can I move your company? How much value does this shell company have without you?"

Dai Li put away her phone and frowned in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you? You don't even have this little confidence."

She thinks differently from ordinary people. She cares more about ability and confidence than loyalty.

How could the deputy she recruited not even have the confidence to start a new business?

Wu Xuelin lifted Dai Li's suitcase which weighed dozens of kilograms. Although his expression did not change much, judging from his tense arm muscles, the suitcase was not light at all.

Dai Li warned, "Be gentle, there are valuables inside."

After hearing her instructions, Wu Xuelin gently put it in the trunk.

He turned around and said, "My job is more important than self-confidence."

Dai Li: "Have you ever thought about going it alone?"

"I've thought about it before. I want to build a great technology company and become a global TP." Wu Xuelin shrugged, and the rest of the words were self-explanatory.

Dai Li is much more powerful than him, he has no ability to compare with her.

"Now, if I want to achieve my TP plan, I have to rely on you, boss. Anyway, don't even think about firing me. I won't leave that easily."

His sincere expression of kindness not only confessed his ambition, but also flattered Dai Li.

It was not known whether it was because of his good flattery or his witty answer, but Dai Li chuckled and said, "Work hard, no one will fire you."

Wu Xuelin received a satisfactory answer and happily went to move another piece of luggage. He casually asked, "Boss, did you come back so suddenly because of some important work?"

At this moment, in the same parking lot, two people were looking around tiredly.

Dai Li also saw them and stopped Wu Xuelin, who was carrying the luggage, and asked him to look over there.

"Something important is coming."

The two people who rushed to the airport overnight were experts from the National Institute of Cultural Heritage.

They received a call from Dai Li in the evening. During the call, Dai Li did not guarantee that it was the lost Peking Man skull fossil, but only told them that it was a suspected Peking Man skull fossil.

The clerk who answered the phone didn't take it too seriously and just told her in a businesslike manner that it could be sent to the research institute for identification.

Dai Li was not in a hurry to prove anything and thought about talking about it after returning.

Later, Guan Honghou used his connections to find the deputy director of the Cultural Relics Research Institute.

Guan Honghou's main reason was that Teacher Xiaodai had no connections, and the Cultural Relics Research Institute would not take her words seriously, so they neglected her in their attitude.

Because they were acquaintances, the deputy director contacted Guan Honghou immediately.

After the polite greetings, Guan Honghou sent several photos in one breath.

The deputy director thought that he wanted him to help him with the identification remotely, and he was immediately overwhelmed.

What he feared most was that an outsider would give him a photo to make an appraisal. Cultural relics and archaeology are not that simple matters, and one cannot make a judgment based on just one or two photos.

What's more, what Guan Honghou brought was not an ordinary antique, but a fossilized cultural relic that could be identified as genuine at a glance.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that it is impossible for them to find the Peking Man skull fossil on the market, and it is even a question whether the original one still exists.

He tactfully told Guan Honghou that it was a modern handicraft and asked him to collect it himself.

Guan Honghou was very good at reading people's expressions. When he felt that the other party did not believe him, he knew it was useless to waste his words, so he just thanked him and quickly ended the topic.

After dealing with Guan Honghou, the deputy director breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Guan Honghou would be unreasonable.

After finishing the work at hand, the deputy director had nothing to do and clicked on the picture to study it.

Because this craft is so well made, it looks more authentic than the replicas in the museum.

He forwarded the picture to the institute's work group and jokingly said, "Look at the craftsmanship out there. It's more realistic than the imitations made by us professional archaeologists."

This photo attracted the attention of all the staff in the institute, and everyone started a heated discussion about the imitation.

The basic discussion is about what technology the manufacturer uses and where it is produced.

A young man in the group suddenly said jokingly: "It's so realistic, could it be real?"

This joke naturally caused rebuttals from colleagues in the group. It was obvious that it couldn't be true.

Deputy Director: "Everyone, just watch the fun. You are all archaeologists, so don't make jokes casually, otherwise people will question our professionalism."

The young man quickly apologized in the group, saying that he would be careful with his words and actions in the future and would not make jokes anymore.

The deputy director thought the matter was almost over, but he didn't expect to receive a call from the director.

"Xiao Liu, arrange for someone to pick someone up at the airport tonight."

Through the director's narration, Deputy Master Liu realized that Guan Honghou had used his connections to find the director again, and he didn't know what method he used to persuade the director.

Deputy Director Liu: "Director, it's not that I don't want to go. The skull fossil they bought is clearly a modern replica. Why should we take it so seriously?"

Director: "Boss Guan assured me it was true and wanted me to do it. I can't deny him face."

Guan Honghou's company has cooperated with the Cultural Relics Research Institute and co-organized a series of cultural and creative products with them, creating a stable source of income for the institute.

The director considered the issue more comprehensively than Deputy Director Liu and understood the need to maintain good relations with this partner. Even though he knew that the skull fossil mentioned by Guan Honghou was fake, he would try his best to meet the other party's requirements and receive him in the best possible state.

Director: "Whether it's true or not, we will serve them with a good attitude, help them with the test seriously, and give them an authoritative test result, rather than denying them out of thin air."

Deputy Director Liu: "Director, you are right."

Director: "Mr. Guan's friend flew back from abroad specifically for this matter. Given their kindness, we should send someone to receive them, right?"

When it comes to dealing with people, Deputy Director Liu feels inferior to the director.

Deputy Director Liu: "Director, I understand what you mean. Whether the fossils are real or fake is not important. Our attitude and hospitality are the key."

Director: "I'm glad you understand. Thank you colleagues for working overtime today."

Deputy Director Liu picked out two team leaders who had not yet finished their get off work and asked them to go to the airport to pick someone up.

He did this with consideration. Ordinary archaeologists would neglect Mr. Guan's friends. The team leader is a leader and has more face.

The two team leaders were temporarily conscripted and forced to work overtime to welcome the imitation skull fossil, and they were miserable.

When they arrived, Dai Li's plane had not landed yet. They had to wait until nearly midnight, and their resentment grew even deeper.

"It's really unnecessary for the director to make us go through all this trouble."

"Leaders benefit, while grassroots people suffer."

Deputy Director Liu, who arranged the reception for them, didn't even come himself.

He said he had other things to do, but in fact he knew that this trip would be in vain, so he handed the mess to these two low-qualified employees.

They have a lot of complaints to vent.

"He's the only one with work? I have work to do myself. My team has only finished cleaning up one-third of the cultural relics. New cultural relics will be coming in soon. There are only a few people in my team. We can't finish the work even if we work overtime every day. How can I have time to relieve him?"

"My team has just as many artifacts waiting to be restored as yours. Professor Ge monitors our progress every day. I was called out today at short notice, and our progress is way behind schedule. I'm sure I'll get a lecture from him tomorrow."

"Our team's progress is even slower than yours. Let's all be criticized together tomorrow."

They both sighed tiredly.

"Forget it, it's all about interpersonal relationships. No matter how annoying it is, we have to deal with it. Let's take the things over and the mission is completed."

They waited anxiously and finally saw Dai Li's plane in the early morning. They hurried to the parking lot to find her.

Dai Li did not hand the things over to them immediately. Instead, she cautiously asked for their IDs: "Excuse me, let me see your work permits and valid IDs first."

The two team leaders hesitated and asked, "Do we need to check the documents?"

Dai Li: "How can I dare to give you such an important thing without checking your ID?"

If it is an authentic product, it is necessary to check the documents, but the two team leaders had a preconceived notion that the skull fossil was a replica.

Thinking of the task assigned by their leader, the two team leaders cooperated with each other and took out their work IDs and other valid documents to take a photo of Dai Li.

"Be careful when you take it back. If something goes wrong on the way, you may not be able to afford the consequences."

Dai Li didn't say anything more. After handing over the things, she turned around and left in a casual manner.

It was just a matter of closure for her.

Seeing her casual attitude, the two team leaders did not take the skull fossil seriously. They just took a quick look at it and then took it back to the research institute and put it aside.

It was already past two o'clock, almost three o'clock, when they returned to the institute. They simply did not go home and spent the night at the institute. They got up early the next morning to repair the cultural relics.

When Professor Ge came to inspect, they still couldn't escape being criticized.

"We can't rush the restoration of cultural relics, but we can't be too hasty either. At your current pace, it's a long way off before the relics are finally brought to light."

Professor Ge's words were not harsh, but they were extremely hurtful.

He is one of the first archaeologists since the founding of the People's Republic of China. He has been deeply engaged in archaeology for more than decades and is a leading figure in the industry.

Archaeological work occupied his entire life. He had great enthusiasm for archaeology. After retirement, he served as the honorary director of the institute. He did not hold any real position, but he was the person with the most weight of influence in the institute.

He is also the person who arrives most punctually every day and is the most intolerant of any flaws in archaeological work.

The two team leaders didn't want to make excuses, but there were reasons why their work was delayed, and they had to explain it clearly.

"Professor Ge, we had something else to do yesterday that delayed our work."

Professor Ge: "What is so important that it can even delay important cultural relic restoration work?"

"Yesterday I received a last-minute assignment to go to the airport to pick up a relic that is suspected to be a skull fossil."

"What skull fossil?" People of Professor Ge's age don't have smartphones, so of course they don't know what happened last night.

The leader of the restoration team looked around and put the box aside when he came back. After a nap and being busy for the whole morning, he almost forgot where he put the box.

Finally, he found the box after moving various tools aside on the table where he kept his belongings.

"It's Professor Ge. It's a good opportunity for you to take a look. You have a keen eye. Can you tell if this fossil is real?"

Professor Ge has always been dissatisfied with their untidy habits. He looked at the restoration team leader, shook his head, took the skull fossil, and returned to his work desk.

Professor Ge first took out his glasses and a pair of gloves from the drawer and put them on calmly.

He has been in the industry for more than decades, and his greatest work style is meticulousness. No matter what he faces, he will observe and study it in great detail.

The people in the group would look in Professor Ge's direction from time to time, and every time they looked at Professor Ge, he had that serious and deep face.

They were very puzzled. Was it necessary for Professor Ge to spend so much time looking at a replica of a skull fossil?

It was not until lunchtime that the restoration team leader could not help but disturb Professor Ge.

He called Professor Ge several times before Professor Ge responded.

But Professor Ge's reaction was a little slow, and he was surprised to see the leader of the restoration team.

The head of the restoration team thought he had disturbed Professor Ge and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Professor Ge, I didn't mean to disturb you, but it's time to go to dinner now."

But Professor Ge was not angry at all. He looked at him with a look of surprise, and suddenly smiled at him. His smile was very happy, which was completely different from the usually steady, serious and stern Professor Ge.

Not only was the restoration team leader frightened by him, but the other restoration members in the team were also so scared that they dared not move.

Professor Ge's eyes were filled with excitement as he said to the restoration team leader, "Xiao Wang, this is a really good thing."

The head of the restoration team looked at the skull fossil on the table stupidly: "Are you saying this thing is real?"

Professor Ge excitedly grabbed the arm of the restoration team leader and said, "Yes, the Peking Man skull fossil that has been missing for over 80 years!"

At this time, the leader of the repair team did not feel any pain in his arm, and his brain was completely unable to think.

The rest of the people present were also in a state of brain shutdown.

Wasn’t it said that it was an imitation handicraft? Wasn’t it brought back to help the director deal with the talents?

Professor Ge’s opinion alone was not enough, so he called together senior archaeologists to study the skull fossil together.

After various tests, everyone finally came to the same conclusion.

This skull fossil is the Peking Man skull fossil that was lost that year!

The media had already heard the news and were flooding the institute with calls.

They wanted to know how the skull fossil was lost and found, and report the story.

The people at the institute wanted to know more than them, so they called Dai Li back. Firstly, they wanted to thank her in person and give her a thank-you gift, and secondly, they wanted to ask her how she got the skull fossil.

Dai Li declined the thank-you gift. As for how she obtained the skull fossil, she directly said that she bought it herself, which was confirmed by Guan Honghou.

They had to accept such an incredible fact.

Since Dai Li always refused to accept thanks and did not want to be interviewed by the media, she always appeared in the news as a "caring person" in media reports.

Guan Honghou felt sorry for Dai Li: "Teacher Dai, why don't you leave your name behind when doing good deeds? Such a good positive image will be very useful in the future."

Dai Li said nonchalantly: "If Mr. Guan is reluctant to give up the honor, I will give the opportunity to you. I don't really need things like honor myself."

Guan Honghou waved his hands: "How could I, Old Guan, do such a thing? What kind of person would I be then?"

Dai Li chuckled, knowing that he was still reluctant to donate his honor.

Guan Honghou: "Teacher Xiao Dai, didn't we say we were going to set up a biopharmaceutical factory after the New Year? We're all free now, why don't we get ready first?"

After Dai Li came back, he followed her back.

After her vacation was interrupted due to some matters, Dai Li never thought about flying back. She couldn't rest even at the resort hotel and had to rely on developing new things to relax. So she gave up on vacation and decided that work was more suitable for her.

Dai Li returned to work, but did not let the employees and Sister Tu come back, and their vacation was still at the original time.

"Okay, you can prepare the factory. I'm still waiting for the approval procedures. Oh, and I've submitted not only the HIV drug for review, but also the body-slimming capsules, which I plan to produce simultaneously."

When Guan Honghou first heard about body shaping capsules, he curiously asked, "What are body shaping capsules?"

Dai Li: "You can think of it as helping people to shape their bodies. No matter if they are fat or thin, they will get a symmetrical and healthy body after taking the body shaping capsules, without the need for painful dieting or high-intensity exercise."

Guan Honghou showed great interest: "Is it so magical? Teacher Xiao Dai, can I use it?"

Dai Li: "Of course you can. Even people who gain weight by taking hormones can return to their normal figure."

Guan Honghou has to socialize when doing business. It was fine when he was young. He had a high metabolism and didn't gain much weight.

Since he reached middle age, the fat on his face and stomach has grown rapidly. He is 1.75 meters tall and weighs more than 240 kilograms.

If you get any fatter, you'll be an idiot.

It’s not that Guan Honghou hasn’t tried to lose weight. He has bought more weight loss products and gym memberships than skin care products.

However, his irregular work and rest schedule and frequent social events with excessive eating and drinking made him gain weight instead.

When Guan Honghou heard that he could lose weight easily without having to control his diet or do high-intensity exercise, he became very excited.

"Can I also regain my youthful elegance? Teacher Xiao Dai, please help me lose weight. Then I will definitely surpass Xiao Wu from your company."

Guan Honghou put the matter of getting the medicine at the top of his priority list and drove to get the medicine himself that day.

When Wu Xuelin handed the body-shaping capsules to Guan Honghou, he had not forgotten what he had said before.

He said seriously, "Look at your face, Mr. Guan, even if you lose weight and look twenty years younger, you still can't compare to mine."

Guan Honghou looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Young people shouldn't be unable to take a joke."

Wu Xuelin pushed his hand away, brushed off his shoulders, and said in a cold voice, "It seems that Mr. Guan also knows that he can't compare with me."

After saying that, he turned around and went back, too lazy to bother with Guan Honghou anymore.

Guan Honghou secretly complained to Dai Li: "Your little Wu is quite vindictive."

Wu Xuelin was a man with sharp ears. He could hear Guan Honghou calling to complain from a long distance away. He even slowed down his work, obviously still caring about Dai Li's attitude.

Dai Li glanced at him lightly, but still chose to protect him.

"Boss Guan, I'm saving your face. I didn't have the nerve to tell you in person. If you deliberately try to drag him down, how could he be happy with you?"

Guan Honghou didn't really mean to cause trouble for Wu Xuelin, he just wanted to tease him because the young man was serious.

"Oh, I know I was wrong. I said the wrong thing. Xiao Wu left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to apologize to him. Could you please, Teacher Xiao Dai, convey my apology to me?"

Dai Li: "I won't pass it on. If you want to apologize, you should come and apologize to him in person. If you get me into trouble and offend someone, who will help me with the work? We are the only two people working in the company now."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely go to Teacher Xiao Wu's house in person to apologize someday." Guan Honghou even changed his address.

I don’t know whether it was Dai Li’s protection that made Wu Xuelin happy, or Guan Honghou’s attitude of admitting his mistakes that satisfied him, but he was in a good mood that day and his work efficiency was much higher.

The progress of the Guan Honghou factory site is also not slow. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be officially put into production as soon as it is approved.

Coincidentally, at this time, Dai Li unexpectedly received a call from Jiujiusan.

It was not surprising to receive a call from the 993 Hospital, but the doctor who contacted her was not the doctor who had always been in contact with her.

The doctor revealed his identity and said that he was a psychologist at the 993 Hospital.

He found Dai Li not because of work, but because of his personal matter.

"Teacher Dai, I'm sorry for calling you without permission. I really had no other choice, so I thought of asking you for help."

The doctor recounted on the phone that he had a younger brother who was a sprinter. He was very hardworking and extremely talented, and had always performed very well in competitions. He had won city championships, national championships, World Championships and Asian Games championships, and had broken the Asian sprint record. He was the sprinter in Asia with the best chance of reaching the Olympic finals.

But while he was preparing for the Olympics, he unfortunately fell ill and had to interrupt his training.

In order to treat his illness, he took a large amount of hormone drugs prescribed by the doctor. In just half a year, he gained nearly 100 kilograms. He was just over 1.8 meters tall but weighed almost 300 kilograms.

With his current physique, he is completely unable to continue sprinting. His knees, ankles, and even his heart cannot bear his high-intensity training.

His coach once said that he had an extremely superior leg-to-body ratio and was born for sprinting, and was on par with African sprint champions.

An unexpected illness not only shattered his brother's dream and his coach's dream, but also shattered the dream of the entire nation for a world champion in sprinting.

The doctor on the other end of the phone spoke in a sorrowful tone, "My brother has never been afraid of hardship. In the summer, even on days over 40 degrees, I can train outside under the scorching sun for twelve hours, and I can also wear out a pair of running shoes every month. To get back to his original weight, he exercises intensively every day. This not only puts a huge strain on his body, but his weight only fluctuates slightly. It's too difficult for a body that gained weight due to hormones to return to its original weight."

"His knee and ankle joints have been severely damaged. The doctor advised him not to continue training, as the joint damage is irreversible. If he continues like this, he will have to go to the hospital for meniscus surgery. He won't listen to the doctor, our family, or his coach, and he stubbornly insists on participating in the Olympics next summer."

"I really can't think of a solution. I know I'm a little fanciful, but I still want to ask, Teacher Dai, you are so capable, do you have any way to help my brother get back to his original weight? My brother is not afraid of hard work or fatigue, any method is fine as long as he can recover."

He called Dai Li completely on impulse. Seeing that his brother's condition was getting worse day by day, he was more anxious than his brother.

But after he finished complaining, he calmed down and felt that he was forcing others to do things beyond their ability, and naturally thought that Dai Li had a way to help him.

He wanted to apologize to Dai Li for disturbing her.

Unexpectedly, I heard Dai Li's voice coming from the receiver, and the content was so pleasant to the ears.

"Your call is quite coincidental. I happen to have some slimming capsules here, specifically for people who are overweight due to hormones."
