Chapter 406 Decisive Rejection
Zhong Yi finally reacted this time. She subconsciously looked up at her and asked, "Did you bring the potion?"
"Of course... no." Mother Zheng said this without feeling guilty. She said apologetically, "Ayi, you don't know, but that medicine was bought by your elder brother Zheng from someone. I don't know where it is."
"...Then how do you want me to help?" Zhong Yi crossed two fingers and looked at Zheng's mother, as if he was thinking about something.
Mother Zheng finally got her response, and she had no time to pay attention to her expression. When she got the correct answer, her eyes lit up instantly and she said, "Ayi, if your elder brother Zheng hadn't been in trouble, he must have come to you to discuss cooperation."
"I don't understand that much, but I also know that those people targeted and harmed Brother Zheng because of the profits behind the medicine."
"In that case, we cannot let go of this opportunity. Once we apply for the patent, we will make those who did this pay!" Mother Zheng clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Applying for a patent also requires detailed information and prescriptions of the medicine. What can I do to help you?" Zhong Yi asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zheng's mother took out the documents that had been prepared long ago from her handbag and handed them to her.
"I believe in your ability, Yi. You will definitely find a use for this medicine and then research more products. We can work together and let the Zheng family produce it. Yi, how about you become a specially hired researcher for our company?"
Zhong Yi looked at the smile on her face and raised his thin lips slightly.
"I haven't seen the medicine yet, so I can't be sure. Experiments must be rigorous. I don't like your contract. Take it back." Zhong Yi refused directly, and was so decisive that the smile on Zheng's mother's face froze.
“You should know that I basically don’t collaborate with others. I don’t have enough time to be a part-time researcher.” Zhong Yi said this and was about to stand up and leave.
Mother Zheng quickly held her back and said, "Ayi, don't worry, we can still discuss it."
"Don't you really want to make money?" Zheng's mother racked her brains to persuade Zhong Yi.
But Zhong Yi's reaction was very calm, and Zheng's mother's anxious look could be clearly seen in her eyes. "I have money, so I don't need to use this method. Time is the most precious thing to me."
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"Ayi, how could you just turn around and leave when I'm so sad? Don't you have any sympathy for me? We have been friends for so many years, and my Zheng family has helped you a lot. If you turn around and leave now, my Zheng family might be bankrupted by those competitors! How could you have the heart to do that?"
Mother Zheng accused with a sad and angry look.
Zhong Yi looked at her in confusion, "Didn't you say that Brother Zheng was hit by a car because of the profits of the medicine?"
"In that case, you can just sell the potion and get a large sum of money. Then those competitors will definitely stop targeting the Zheng family, and your Zheng family's company will be saved."
“Is this difficult?”
Mother Zheng opened her eyes wide and subconsciously retorted, "How can that be possible? The benefits represented by the medicine are huge. Not only that, Old Zheng got into trouble because of this matter. If I sell it to those competitors, it will harm Old Zheng's people, and the other party's value will become higher and higher. By then, I will no longer be able to avenge Old Zheng."
"But if you, Yi, are willing to cooperate with me, things will be different. Together, we can become stronger and stronger. Not only can we avenge Lao Zheng, but we can also provide you with more funds for research."
"Aren't you moved at all?"
Zhong Yi turned around and faced her. "You also said that because of the potion, your Zheng family has been in trouble. If I join, it will also mean constant trouble. I don't have that much time to deal with those troubles."
"So, I suggest you just sell the potion and restore the status quo."
Seeing that she couldn't convince Zhong Yi no matter what she said, Zheng's mother was so angry that her face turned green, "Ayi, are you really unwilling to help?"
"If you just want to test the ingredients of the drug, you can arrange for someone to send it to my laboratory. As for cooperating with you, I'm sorry, I can't do it."
Zhong Yi stood up and said coldly, "Show him off."
An assistant came out to see Zheng's mother off.
Mother Zheng turned around and left angrily.
She didn't notice that after she left, Zhong Yi stood there, staring at her back for a long time, which was rare.
Zhong Yi immediately ordered someone, "Go out and investigate the situation of the Zheng family."
"Yes, Doctor."
When Zheng's mother returned home, she saw her children waiting for her in the living room. "Why are you at home? Aren't you supposed to be busy at work?"
Mother Zheng's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad premonition.
"Mom, we can't handle it anymore in the company." The third child said with a dark face.
The eldest and the second in command also had sullen faces.
The second child couldn't help it, and said in a sharp voice, "Mom, what's going on? Do we have any medicine at home? If we do, have we got the patent application? If not, then we have to prove it quickly!"
"You don't know how many partners have gone back on their word. No matter what we say, they would rather pay liquidated damages than terminate the contract."
"Every day we delay now brings the company one day closer to bankruptcy. We are losing a hundred thousand dollars every day!"
The other younger generations of the Zheng family were also anxious.
They all looked at Zheng's mother.
Mother Zheng moved her lips. "Don't you have any other options? Weren't you so capable when your father was around?"
"Oh, Mom, Dad was caused to have a car accident by someone. If we really had Dad's ability, we might also be lying in bed right now." The eldest brother knew it well and said with a sneer, mocking him.
Mother Zheng's face turned pale, realizing that the Zheng family was now in a critical moment of life and death.
"I don't know where your father put the potion. I only know that the potion was researched by Zhong Yi."
"I also went to see Zhong Yi. I wanted her to cooperate with our Zheng family, give us the patent of the medicine, and then she could assist in the research, but Zhong Yi refused!" Zheng's mother said gritting her teeth.
"Now, let's see what we should do?" Mother Zheng asked the children. "Either sell the medicine, or hold on and wait for the patent to be approved. I only know that your father had already applied for it before the accident."
"Can I apply for it?"
The eyes of several Zheng family children lit up instantly, and they wished they could get the patent. The profits from it were enough to make them excited.
"It should be possible to apply for it, but... your father and his assistant went to Sente to handle this matter, and I don't know the specific progress and situation."
"I'll go ask the relevant department." The eldest son of the Zheng family immediately stated, "I'm Dad's son. Now that Dad is in trouble, I can naturally represent the company to take over."
The other children of the Zheng family also did not want to give up such a good opportunity.
Eventually, everyone went together.
Zheng's mother had a headache, but she also hoped that they could get the patent done.
