When he heard that his son was not only going to sell off the family business completely, but also to do so at such a discount in exchange for what he thought was an illusory dream of getting rich through futures trading, he was even willing to "suffer a loss" himself.
Yu Donglai felt a fishy smell rushing up his throat, and his vision went dark. He pointed at the office door and yelled in anger and disappointment:
"Get out! Get out of here! It's your business to do whatever you want with your shares! You want to take my 25%? I'll kill you! I don't want a prodigal son like you! Get out!"
"Daddy! You are stubborn! You will regret it!" Yu Xingzhong also retorted with his neck stiff and his face flushed. The office was tense and the father and son had completely fallen out.
Just when the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was about to explode, the old-fashioned telephone on the desk suddenly rang shrilly—"Ring, ring, ring!"
The sharp ringing sound was like a basin of cold water, temporarily extinguishing the burning smell of gunpowder in the air.
Yu Xingzhong, who was closest to the phone, was so angry that he subconsciously grabbed the receiver and shouted impatiently, "Hello! It's Yu Xingzhong! What's going on? Tell me!"
His tone was aggressive, as if he wanted to vent all his anger towards his father on this phone call.
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously choked by the rage.
Zhao Shengji on the opposite side paused for a moment before speaking excitedly:
"Uh... Yu Sheng? M-m-m-please give the phone to General Manager Yu! I have very important, extremely important news to report to him! Immediately!"
The urgency and excitement in Zhao Shengji's tone made Yu Xingzhong feel something unusual.
But the other party directly asked him to transfer the call, and his attitude of completely ignoring him added fuel to the fire, making him even more annoyed.
Therefore, Yu Xingzhong snorted in annoyance: "What's the difference if you tell me? My dad is here! Don't forget that I am also Kang Sheng's former deputy general manager. Is there any company secret that I can't hear? Tell me!"
"No… sorry, Yu Sheng!"
Zhao Shengji's voice on the phone insisted, "This is a matter of great importance. It involves an order personally issued by Xiao Linsheng! This result... must first, and can only be reported to General Manager Yu alone! You... you are not in the position right now, so it is really inconvenient for you to know! Please let General Manager Yu answer the phone immediately!"
"you!"
Yu Xingzhong was so choked by these words that he was almost speechless.
Is this Mr. Xiaolin’s order?
Can only report to the old man?
Yu Donglai, standing by, had already heard the clues. Zhao Shengji was usually calm and reliable, and he emphasized that he could only report to him...
He suddenly had an indescribable premonition and rushed over, snatching the receiver from his son Yu Xingzhong's hand with great rudeness.
"Dr. Zhao! I'm Yu Donglai! What's going on? Tell me!"
Zhao Shengji's voice immediately burst out from the receiver:
"General Manager! It's done! It really worked!!! Mr. Xiaolin led us in the development of new drugs—we succeeded!"
The word "It's done" was like a thunderclap, resounding in Yu Donglai's ears. Even Yu Xingzhong next to him heard it clearly, and his face changed instantly.
Zhao Shengji couldn't control his emotions at all. His voice was almost hoarse, filled with incredible joy and almost exhausted excitement:
"Xiao Linsheng! Xiao Linsheng led us! This time, we worked in the lab for three consecutive days and nights! We didn't close our eyes! Just now! Right under our noses! We synthesized it! We really made that new drug!!!"
boom--!
Zhao Shengji's words, uttered with tears and extreme excitement, were like thunder from the sky, striking the small general manager's office fiercely! Every word seemed to carry the power of thunder!
Yu Donglai only felt a "buzzing" sound, and his head went blank.
The hand holding the receiver seemed to have lost consciousness, his body swayed, and he subconsciously supported himself with his other hand on the mahogany table, barely able to stand steady.
"It's...it's...it's true...Mr. Xiaolin...he did it."
His throat seemed to be blocked by something and he had no idea what he was saying.
Success? That drug that no one had ever heard of, that no one was optimistic about... was actually created by Xiaolin Sheng and his team in just a few days in Kang Sheng's laboratory...?!
