Chapter 489: Sharp Contrast



Zhao Lifen truly felt Lu An Ning's sincerity in winning her over, especially when she saw all kinds of food delivered to the house. The refrigerator, which had been empty all year round, was now filled with meat, eggs and milk. The couple felt like they were dreaming.

The husband was still worried: "Will this lady ask you to do anything dangerous?"

Zhao Lifen shook her head: "She and Madam don't get along, and she just wants me to help her bring down Madam Gu."

When Ji Yan was mentioned, the husband's anger suddenly emerged.

"You've taken good care of her over the years, but how has she treated you? You're paid to do this, but she doesn't treat you like a human being at all. You don't say it, but I know it all. She often beats and scolds you, taking out all her anger on you. I've long since given up on letting you work for a host like that."

Zhao Lifen sighed, "I'm already old, and I don't have any other skills. If someone is willing to hire me, I won't be able to choose. We can't afford to offend such a wealthy family."

If it weren't for her husband's recovery, she really didn't want to get involved in this fight.

No matter what, at least everything in front of us is good.

"Don't worry about my affairs. The most important thing for you now is to focus on your treatment. I will take care of the rest."

"Wife, you have worked hard over the years. When I get better, you can take a rest and I will go to earn money to support the family."

Zhao Lifen was amused by what her husband said: "You getting better is better than anything else."

She had taken a two-hour leave on the pretext that her husband was unwell, and now she was in a hurry to get back, so she didn't dare stay any longer. After telling her husband to take good care of himself, Zhao Lifen hurried back to the old house.

She didn't dare show any abnormality and tried her best not to attract Ji Yan's attention, but she still noticed something was wrong.

Ji Yan called her into the room, and seeing that she was distracted, she asked sternly, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Zhao Lifen quickly explained: "Madam, how dare I!"

"It's best if you don't dare! Think about that sick husband of yours. If you dare to have any ill feelings towards me, your husband will die!"

This was not the first time Ji Yan threatened Zhao Lifen. Seeing her bring it up again, Zhao Lifen suddenly plucked up the courage to look at her.

"Madam, you've been saying for a long time that you'd help my husband find a kidney. Is there any news?"

Ji Yan sneered, "Do you think this is just a matter of getting up early to buy kidneys at the market? Do you know how hard it is to find a matching kidney? There are a series of subsequent treatment issues, and I will help you solve them. This kind of thing depends on fate."

"But, you always say that..."

Ji Yan was furious and slammed her palm on the dressing table: "How dare you doubt me?"

"I dare not. It's just that my husband's recent condition... You know, dialysis is really painful. Madam, can you..."

Ji Yan smiled coldly and said, "Suffering? It's his own fault for having this disease. If I were him, my family wouldn't have any money, and I'd rather die early and put an end to it all, so as not to burden my family. I remind you, you've been taking leave quite frequently lately, so don't let me know what you're doing behind my back. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't stay in Kyoto."

Zhao Lifen frowned, glanced at Ji Yan, and after weighing the pros and cons, she decided not to say anything more and humbly left the room.

The moment the door closed, Lu Anning's attitude towards her emerged in her mind, forming a sharp contrast.

She lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and her originally shaking heart no longer wavered.

However, Lu An Ning was not in a hurry to find Zhao Lifen to ask anything. He spent more time discussing cooperation with Professor An while being busy finalizing various details of the wedding banquet.

As An Li said, Ji Yan is already at the end of his strength, so there is no need to rush.

For two consecutive days, Lu Anning took Liu Lin and Xiao Han to visit the newly built laboratory. In this regard, Liu Lin and Xiao Han were naturally more professional than she was. When she saw the various advanced technologies in the laboratory with her own eyes, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

I wonder what kind of sparks will be created if traditional Chinese medicine is combined with technology.

The entire experimental base consisted not only of buildings above ground, but also of elevators leading underground. Iris and fingerprint recognition systems were installed on every floor, and only administrators had access to the confidential laboratories. The security system and security nets used throughout the entire experimental building were all provided by JK.

"Currently, the system used by the entire experimental base is JK's most stable and mature system. We also have relevant technicians designing a new, higher-level system. Once it is mature, we can help Professor An replace it."

This is the area JK is currently focusing on. Tang Jingyuan mentioned that the company's mature AI robots are now able to independently perform some basic laboratory operations. As Lu Anning toured the lab, he indeed saw several robots busy at work.

In a completely sterile operating environment, AI robots can independently complete some reagent packaging and preparation tasks without even requiring human entry, greatly reducing a lot of manpower. AI robots can even work alongside R&D personnel and become junior assistants in the laboratory.

"Can robots understand?"

"Smart voice control is like the AI ​​assistant in our phones. It uses infrared scanning to accurately find what you need. Sometimes, it's more efficient than humans."

The core technology of all this is the chip provided by JK!

Only after coming out of the experimental base did Lu Anning feel like he had returned to the real world.

Looking at the laboratory behind him with the most cutting-edge technology, Lu Anning couldn't help but imagine how many things that would benefit everyone would be developed here in the future.

"For the charity dinner tomorrow night, I've already sent the dress to Bixiwan. Ding Wan also has one. You must remember to wear it."

Lu An Ning smiled and agreed: "Then I will be the one to prepare next time."

Maybe Lu An Ning was overthinking it, but after a moment's thought, she realized that she had been spending more and more time with Professor An recently, either working or eating. However, being with her made her feel a lot more relaxed, which wasn't a bad thing.

The group left talking and laughing. Lu Anning only heard the voices of Liu Lin and Xiao Han discussing laboratory equipment behind him. Turning around, he saw Gu Yu at the end of the team, not saying a word. His eyes occasionally glanced at Liu Lin, but he seemed afraid of being discovered and quickly looked away.

Lu Anning saw through Gu Yu's thoughts and sighed inwardly.

They broke up in the past, and even though she feels sorry now, Liu Lin is not the kind of person who will go back to her ex.

She slowed down and walked side by side with Gu Yu.

"You have something to tell me?"

"I noticed you didn't say anything the whole time. What's wrong? Do you regret it?"

Lu Anning looked at him sideways, half joking, half serious. She had to help her second brother sort out some things, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to work together in the future.
