Chapter 46 The information is recovered
Now that he was recognized, Ye Xuan stopped dodging and showed his face openly: "Yes, it's me."
Seeing him being so frank, the director didn't know what to say for a moment, but he definitely couldn't let the other party snatch the information away: "Take the box back from him!"
Several researchers following him ran out in a hurry, but not all people who stayed in the laboratory all year round had as good physical fitness as Xiao Qin. Ye Xing, who had put on auxiliary props in advance, dodged with three jumps and two jumps, not forgetting to show them a mocking smile.
The old dean frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene in front of him: "Who is this?"
The director was very anxious. He was about to let the "little thief" who suddenly broke in to disrupt the deal run away. He didn't even bother to answer the question of the master: "A Chinese medicine doctor."
"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Old Xu perked up. "As far as I know, Qin followed a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the time, right? I heard that the traditional Chinese medicine doctor stayed in your institute for quite a while and even participated in the drug trial. This is too outrageous. A traditional Chinese medicine doctor can actually have a say in a research institute like this."
He squinted his eyes and laughed twice, then continued, "It seems that the director knows this Chinese medicine doctor. Could he be the one who abducted your 'genius'?"
The director was furious when he heard this, but couldn't say much out of consideration for the old dean. He felt even more uncomfortable holding the anger in his heart, so he had to transfer all his anger to Ye Xuan.
He took a few steps towards where Ye Xing was standing, and saw that the other party not only did not run away, but instead waved the suitcase in his hand at him, which made him so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.
Ye Xuan knew that his provocative behavior had worked successfully, and he was very proud.
That group of people drove Xiao Qin out and looked down on Chinese medicine. It was no exaggeration to say that he was very angry, especially since he was just taking back Xiao Qin's research results.
"A bunch of rubbish!" the director scolded his subordinates, "You can't even get back a box!"
The researchers grumbled in their hearts that this was not their job, but no one dared to speak up. After all, working in a research institute in this city was not just about qualifications and connections like in neighboring cities, but also required some strength and luck. It was not easy to get this job, and everyone wanted to hold on to their jobs.
"Don't get yourself hurt by being angry," Ye Xuan smiled. "Don't get me wrong. I'm not concerned about you. I'm worried about being scammed. In fact, even if you really pass out, it doesn't matter. I can just give you two injections."
The director had an idea when he heard him say "scam". He was covering his chest and planning to pretend to be sick to blackmail the man to return the box, but he didn't expect that the man had even prepared acupuncture needles, and the bright reflected light was dazzling.
But if they let the person go, it would be a loss of face for their family if the news got out.
Behind the director is an entire research institute. His reputation is tied to the institute, and he cannot allow any unfavorable rumors to leak out. Otherwise, he will not be able to attract the already limited investment.
"My dear little brother, how about this? Let's discuss it," he said in a friendly way, "Look, as a Chinese medicine practitioner, what do you need this information for? Of course, it's not very helpful, but this experimental data is of great significance to us..."
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, the director felt that the connotation could be further "sublimated": "This is not only for our institute. You see, the infectious disease has caused panic among the people, and the higher-ups are blaming us. We are developing an antidote under pressure from all sides. We are really powerless, so we transferred the project to Linshi... I guess you are here for Qin, right?"
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Although he said so, it was not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to see that he admitted this guess.
The director rubbed his hands and said that it would be easy to solve the problem once the direction of the problem was found.
He considered for a moment and said, "Qin's ability is obvious to all of us. He took the initiative to leave the institute. It is a rule that all his research materials belong to us.
"Even if you are trying to steal the information for him, it is illegal. Besides, drug research is urgent. The information—"
"They won't use them at all!" Ye Xing pointed at the old dean and his group and said, "You know in your heart that those people in Linshi hope that Xiao Qin will get into trouble and leave. It is impossible for Linshi to cherish his achievements! Since you don't know how to appreciate them, then fine, I will take them back to the people who cherish them most in this world."
Old Xu jumped out again: "Don't you know how to appreciate? First, tell me who appreciated Qin. Wasn't it the director in front of you? Oh, a man of such age was looking forward to a younger generation who could take over the institute. He was so excited to find Qin, but what did he get in the end?"
Ye Xuan tightened his grip on the box, knowing that the other party would definitely not say anything good.
"Qin Tiancai really disappointed him. Not only him, but researchers in the entire city and even the entire industry are disappointed in him." Old Xu said slowly, "If medicine is not studied well, it will cost lives. How can a kid who can't even tell the difference between good and bad be considered 'scientific research'?"
When Old Xu uttered the word "inferior", he deliberately emphasized the tone and stared straight at Ye Xuan.
Seeing the Chinese doctor's face change, he said without restraint, relying on the support of the old dean, "Which one is better, I don't need to say more, right?"
"If you say that Chinese medicine is 'inferior', you are totally wrong!" Ye Xing turned around and stopped looking at them. "I will use my actions to tell you that in terms of treatment, you are not yet at the point of looking down on me."
This group of people together couldn't stop him. He didn't leave and stayed to chat with them in order to get more information about the script, not to listen to such boring sarcasm.
…
Although the information was retrieved, Ye Xing's mood was visibly bad after hearing those uncomfortable words.
"Senior, you're back..." Xiao Qin had just said half of his words when he realized something was wrong with the other party, "What happened?"
"It's okay," Ye Xuan waved his hand and put the suitcase on the nearest counter, "Please pour me a glass of water, thank you."
The other party looked very tired, but Xiao Qin did not ask any more questions and went to pour water silently.
Ye Xuan didn't know how to start talking about this matter. He hadn't opened the box yet, but it shouldn't be fake.
The boy was much more sensitive than he had imagined. Even if he didn't say it out loud, the other party would have noticed it. It was just a matter of time.
Taking the initiative to bring it up to the other party would seem too much like seeking credit. He thought it would be better not to make the concern of seniors for juniors too obvious. If people were really lured to study Chinese medicine, it would be a great loss to the scientific research community.
Everyone is born with different talents. The fact that Xiao Qin is hailed as a "scientific research genius" rather than anything else shows that he indeed has an easier time on this path than ordinary people.
Ye Xuan didn’t know what his so-called “talent” was. It couldn’t be that he was just playing the role of a real NPC in the game, right?
Then he can be said to have hit the jackpot.
He checked the suitcase and found it was not locked, so he could open it at any time if he wanted to, but he still hoped that Xiao Qin could do it himself.
So the box was left there. He understood that the information was really useless to them at the current stage. Without experimental equipment, everything was just talk. It would be better for them to focus on studying traditional Chinese medicine.
Under their "careful care", the patient's condition showed significant signs of improvement. The course of treatment, three prescriptions a day combined with acupuncture, has lasted for a week, and both his complexion and condition have improved.
"Very good," Ye Xuan said, looking at the area where Xiao Qin had inserted the needles. "Look, these two acupoints are close to each other, and the spacing between the needles is very critical. It won't work if they are too close or too sparse. You handled it very well this time."
The patient had basically regained consciousness, but the virus had been in his body for too long and he had not yet recovered. Although he could speak, he could still make a few whimpering sounds in an attempt to attract the doctor's attention.
"The patient is in good spirits. The effect of the treatment is probably the most obvious so far." Ye Xuan has been paying attention to the news in this regard recently. After the project was transferred to Lin City, the closed city gate was temporarily opened to welcome in a group of "experts" from Lin City.
I have to say that some journalists are really hardworking. They risk being infected and go to the press conference to bring people first-hand information. Their professionalism makes Ye Xuan feel ashamed.
He went there because he knew it was just a game, and the character itself was unaware of it. Even if it was controlled by the player, there was not 100% freedom. It took a lot of courage for him to take this step.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the "frontline reporters", more and more people learned about the temporary takeover of the drug research project and began to talk about it.
"This is a good thing! The equipment in the neighboring city is much more advanced than ours. With the support of this expert and that master, we will definitely be able to successfully research a special medicine!"
"It keeps getting longer and longer. I even heard some unidentified howling noises yesterday. It's really scary. I don't know when we can resume our normal lives."
"There are many idlers in the research institutes in Lin City. It would be strange if they could succeed. They can't come up with anything good all day and just go and steal other people's projects. Who knows how happy they will be if Qin gets into trouble."
Ye Xuan had seen a lot of things online and wanted to get involved, so he posted a message asking "Has anyone considered using traditional Chinese medicine?" Unexpectedly, his message was blocked.
Yes, it was a semi-scientific research forum, so it made some sense not to accept him.
"Senior, what should we do if others are unwilling to take the medicine?" Xiao Qin asked, holding a bowl of black medicine soup.
"Don't want to drink?" Ye Xuan's eyes lit up. "That probably means his sense of taste is recovering. This is a good sign. Give me the medicine."
Since the patient changed from the "zombie" state at the beginning to a more normal appearance, Ye Xing no longer tied him up tightly, giving the patient space to struggle.
"Da Lang, drink the medicine." Ye Xuan's way of selling the medicine soup was a bit like a witch holding a poisoned apple. "Look at how good the medicine soup is. The strong medicinal smell shows that we use real ingredients. Are you sure you don't want a bowl?"
The patient showed a horrified expression and shook his head repeatedly.
Perhaps, it would be happier to be a mindless zombie.
