Qin Sheng felt completely bewildered.

As a research and development base focusing on bio-gene technology and ancient medicine refining methods, QS Base had a strong desire to visit and learn from researchers like Wei Zhenyun and Song Yi who were already deeply involved in this field.

But Ho Hsiu-yi, a host, also came to her and said he wanted to go with the team. What kind of strange turn of events is this?

Qin Sheng, not wanting to dwell on what she didn't understand, simply asked, "Where are we going?"

"We're filming a documentary; our station wants to make it about the QS base."

Since he had a request to ask of him, He Xiuyi naturally answered all his questions without reservation.

Only by clearly explaining the reasons and benefits, appealing to their emotions and reasoning with them, can we possibly move them.

As the only person who could communicate with the QS base, He Xiuyi's first task was to persuade Qin Sheng.

Only by persuading her can there be any possibility of further development.

Therefore, after briefly organizing his thoughts, He Xiuyi continued speaking.

"China's rise was late, lagging behind many developed countries in the world. Therefore, even though China has developed rapidly in recent years, some of its inherent weaknesses are still difficult to overcome in a short period of time."

“Scientific research is one of them.”

"Although we have seven Class A laboratories from Tianjin University and Tsinghua University, as well as Dean Wei's experimental base, we must admit that China's scientific and technological level in many fields still has many shortcomings and is still in the process of continuous improvement and development."

"As the only 3S-level research facility in the world, the international status of the QS base is self-evident. It was something no one expected that Dean Wei would be able to apply for 20 QS base visit slots this time."

"I won't lie to you, although only twenty of you went to the QS base for a visit and learning, there are more than two hundred or two thousand people watching this behind the scenes."

He paused, then added, "Each one of them is a very important figure who can shake the region."

"I approached you this time because of instructions from above. The idea is to try to communicate and film as much as possible to make a documentary. If there is an opportunity to meet with the person in charge of the QS base, it would be even better to ask if there is a chance to cooperate."

"QS base has achieved considerable research results over the years, but for some reason, there are not many QS base products on the market. If possible, China hopes to take this opportunity to communicate with the person in charge. China is willing to provide financial support and take charge of production and sales."

At this point, He Xiuyi paused, looking at Qin Sheng with expectant eyes.

This was an unexpected development for Qin Sheng.

She didn't immediately accept or refuse. After pondering for a moment with her eyes lowered, she slowly spoke, saying, "Since you know the international status of the QS base, you should know that if the QS base is willing, as long as it releases a little information, there will be no shortage of countries willing to support and cooperate with it."

Why did they choose China?

He Xiuyi smiled faintly and said, "That's why we came to you."

"What China can provide, other countries might also be able to provide, but other countries don't have you, do they?"

"Since you're willing to help Dean Wei contact the other party and apply for a spot, it means that deep down you're inclined towards China. If you put in a little more effort, maybe you'll succeed?"

Qin Sheng: "..."

Is this an attempt to flatter her?

Qin Sheng lowered her eyes again.

To be honest, cooperating with China at the national level is indeed one of the best options for QS base to expand its influence and realize its value, and Qin Sheng has considered this possibility.

But she had other concerns.

Her initial intention in establishing the QS base was to treat the illnesses of Mu Wu and others.

What outsiders consider a top-tier international research facility, the QS base, is, for Mu Wu and his three companions, their only refuge and home.

Cooperation means openness.

Openness means communication.

Once QS Base and China reach a cooperation agreement, Mu Wu and his group will inevitably be exposed to the public eye.

By then, even Qin Sheng wouldn't be able to guarantee that they could continue to perfectly conceal their genetically modified identities.

The ensuing public opinion, attention, malice, and even some evil thoughts will be directed at them.

This is something Qin Sheng absolutely does not want to see.

—Letting them live in the sunlight like normal people has been Qin Sheng's biggest dream for the past six years.

Unfortunately, her abilities were limited, and she was unable to do so.

Therefore, Qin Sheng was unwilling to take such a big risk until they were fully recovered and until he was completely certain.

She wouldn't risk them.

Although somewhat tempted, Qin Sheng shook her head after a brief moment of thought: "Cooperation is not an option for now."

He Xiuyi's heart skipped a beat: "Can't you help me communicate and ask?"

Qin Sheng suddenly lost interest and didn't want to talk about the topic anymore.

He said directly, "Following me is fine. How many people are you planning to send? I'll have them arrange it over there."

Emphasis: "Try to eat as little as possible."

Qin Sheng's emotions were so obvious that Yan Yingying could clearly sense them. Seeing that He Xiuyi was still somewhat unwilling to give up, she immediately reached out and tugged at his sleeve, stopping him from continuing with her gaze.

He grinned broadly and said, "We don't need many people. We'll just send Brother He and me as commentators, along with a cameraman and two assistants."

After hesitating for a moment, just as he was about to say, "If there are too many, you don't have to bring an assistant," he saw Qin Sheng stand up from his seat and say, "Then let's leave it at that."
