The 131st point is that, for example, the Gu family's research lab is full of elites.
Fu Heng scoffed, his eyes filled with mockery.
As expected, there will always be foolish people. Immortality? What a ridiculous topic!
Throughout history, so many emperors exhausted the resources of their entire nations yet still couldn't find the path to immortality. Now, a tiny organization claims to have discovered it? It's not just boastful, it's utterly foolish!
"Perhaps some people do believe things that seem incredibly foolish to us?"
Gu Mingxia also disbelieved these things, but she had no choice but to believe this clue, because it was the only clue she could find so far.
Fu Heng frowned slightly, his eyes filled with deep thought. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke.
"Okay, I'll call my third uncle in a bit and ask. If there really aren't any more leads, we'll investigate based on this one!"
"Fuheng, this is my business, you don't need to bother me anymore! You've already helped me too much!"
Gu Mingxia placed her hands on her knees, leaned slightly forward, and looked at Fu Heng earnestly and sincerely. She didn't want Fu Heng to get hurt again because of her! Moreover, she felt that she could definitely do it.
“Mingxia, you know, when that black man pulled out a gun and aimed it at me, this wasn’t just about you anymore! The person behind it all clearly wanted you, me, and Xiao Yan to all die! Imagine if you died, I or Xiao Yan would definitely avenge you! So… Mingxia, this really isn’t just about you!”
Fu Heng's words seemed to make a lot of sense, and for a moment, Gu Mingxia was speechless. She looked at him helplessly, wanting to make one last effort.
"Fu Heng, really, you don't need to. With the Fu family's protection, you'll be fine! Actually... you really don't need to get involved in my affairs!"
Gu Mingxia's gaze was sincere, and Fu Heng, too, put away the elegant smile that had always been on his face and looked at her sincerely. After a long while, he spoke seriously and earnestly.
"Mingxia, you said we're friends. As a friend, I think if our positions were reversed today, you definitely wouldn't abandon me either! So, stop talking! I believe that as long as we unite all our strength, no matter how powerful the mastermind behind it all is, we can defeat him!"
Fu Heng's gaze was sharp as lightning, seeing right through Gu Mingxia's thoughts. Meeting his eyes, she felt she couldn't refuse his kindness at all, and could only shrug helplessly. Indeed, if Fu Heng were in her situation today, she would definitely not stand idly by either.
"Then be careful! Your safety should always come first!"
Since she couldn't persuade him, Gu Mingxia could only hope that Fu Heng would protect himself to the best of his ability. Fu Heng smiled elegantly and nodded to Gu Mingxia.
"Don't worry, this is Xiangcheng, not South Africa! No one here can harm anyone from the Fu family!"
"That puts my mind at ease! Alright, it's getting late, I'll head back now. Remember to drink the soup!"
Gu Mingxia got up, grabbed her bag, and walked out. Fu Heng watched her retreating figure, his eyes somewhat dazed. She walked decisively without any hesitation. As she stepped out of the living room and down the stairs, her high heels twisted. Gu Mingxia quickly reached out to grab the handrail, glanced at her heel, and then hurried out again.
She was always so beautiful and elegant. There was only one Gu Mingxia in this world, but this Gu Mingxia belonged to someone else and would never accept his love. Fu Heng felt a pang of sadness. They say the saddest feeling in the world is jealousy, but he wanted to say that the saddest feeling wasn't jealousy, but rather not even having the right to be jealous!
Friendship was both the furthest and the closest distance between him and Gu Mingxia! Only by stepping back to the position of friend could he protect Gu Mingxia and... still have any interaction with her!
Reaching out, Fu Heng took the thermos that Gu Mingxia had brought and ran his fingers along its texture. "Mingxia, it seems I'm not as fortunate as Fu Heng to be your boyfriend! Fine, if you're happy being friends, then let's be friends!"
After leaving the Fu family's mansion, Gu Mingxia walked to the car and glanced back at the quiet and elegant villa as she opened the door. It was a 19th-century palace-style villa, which she felt was somewhat unsuitable for the Fu family's style!
Shaking her head and smiling, Gu Mingxia got into the car, started the engine, turned around, and drove straight to Xiao Yan's villa. The man she loved was waiting for her at home. Thinking of this, Gu Mingxia's heart was filled with warmth!
"Xiaxia, you're back? Perfect timing, come have dinner together!"
When Liu Yan saw Gu Mingxia come in, she quickly went to greet her. On the dining table were dishes prepared by Zheng Liu. When he saw Gu Mingxia, he smiled憨厚ly. Anyone who looked at such an honest man would never guess that he was a mercenary leader.
“Miss Gu, I spoke with Song Jia and the others. They will fly over tomorrow.”
"It's alright, no rush. Take some time to buy them some daily necessities. They can stay in that building outside; there should be enough room!"
Gu Mingxia sat at the dining table, smiling as she watched Zheng Liu. From the moment she saw Zheng Liu and Liu Yan, she sensed an ambiguous atmosphere between them, and now, seeing the love in Zheng Liu's eyes as he looked at Liu Yan, she realized it was overflowing with affection!
She suddenly realized that Liu Yan finding someone like that was indeed a good match! Zhang Yunqi was already married and had a daughter in South Africa, and Liu Yan should also leave the past behind and live her own happy life!
Zheng Liu, a man who has experienced many hardships and life-or-death trials, seems to be 100% devoted, which is perfect for Liu Yan, a seemingly carefree but actually indecisive woman!
"Liu Yan, what are your plans for the future?"
When Gu Mingxia asked the question, Liu Yan's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She glanced at Zheng Liu, and then smiled at Gu Mingxia.
"What else can I do? I'm thinking of shutting down the waiting list and making another trip to the Zhang family when I have time. There are some things that need to be clarified in person!"
"Yes, let me know if you need anything!"
Gu Mingxia agreed with Liu Yan's decision. Since she was going to start a new life, it was best to cut ties with the past completely. Zhang Yunqi had wronged her so much, Liu Yan really shouldn't continue to cling to him! Of course, Zheng Liu was the happiest about her decision. As long as Liu Yan was willing to cut ties with the past completely, he would have a great chance of winning her heart!
When he was in a good mood, his appetite was exceptionally good. That night, Zheng Liu ate four bowls of rice. After dinner, he even went to the building across the street to clean up until late at night. It is clear that this woman has a great influence on men, especially when that woman is his sweetheart, her influence is even greater!
The next day, as soon as Gu Mingxia arrived at work, she asked Liang Yuhao to notify the senior executives of each department to gather in the conference room. Because she had publicly announced her relationship with Xiao Yan at yesterday's press conference, some of the company's senior executives were now treating her more kindly. The notice had just been given out, and in less than ten minutes, everyone had gathered in the conference room.
When Gu Mingxia entered, she was taken aback when she saw the room full of people, but she quickly regained her composure.
"The main reason for bringing everyone to the conference room at this time is to discuss the project of establishing a pharmaceutical research and development laboratory at Maoguang, and also to hear your opinions."
"President Gu, Maoguang doesn't operate in the pharmaceutical industry. It seems a bit... late for us to suddenly get involved in this?"
A mature pharmaceutical company cannot be built simply with money. It requires a large market and a reliable source of materials, and Maoguang has never been involved in this industry before. Now that Gu Mingxia has brought this up, everyone is somewhat disapproving.
Gu Mingxia sat in her seat, flipping through the documents in her hand. Maoguang's current condition wasn't suitable for opening up new markets, but Xiao Yan couldn't wait any longer. She had to develop a medicine to treat the aftereffects of BH19 as quickly as possible; every day it was delayed, Xiao Yan's condition would become more dangerous. This was the last thing Gu Mingxia wanted to see.
“Yes, Maoguang has never been involved in the pharmaceutical market. These are things that money can’t solve!” In their view, it was absolutely incredible that Gu Mingxia wanted to establish a pharmaceutical research and development center.
"Everyone's opinions are excellent! However, establishing a pharmaceutical research and development laboratory is imperative. If you are worried about losing Maoguang's money, then I will personally bear the investment for establishing the research and development laboratory. You only need to register the laboratory under Maoguang's name!"
Gu Mingxia had anticipated these people's attitudes before the meeting, and from the beginning, she hadn't intended for Maoguang to invest in the pharmaceutical research lab. Her main goal was simply to help Xiao Yan recover his health as soon as possible.
"President Gu, it's not that we disagree, it's just that the pharmaceutical field is too unfamiliar to Maoguang!"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao isn't here right now, so Mr. Gu, you have to be understanding!"
...
There were all sorts of opinions, but Gu Mingxia simply smiled and didn't say much. These people were caught in a dilemma: on the one hand, they didn't want her meddling in Maoguang's affairs, and on the other hand, they wanted to curry favor with Xiao Yan because she was his girlfriend. It was truly a difficult situation for them!
"Mingxia, you want to establish a pharmaceutical research and development laboratory, but we at Maoguang don't have any talent in this area. What are your plans for this?"
Liang Yuhao naturally knew Gu Mingxia's purpose in doing this. He frowned and looked at her with some worry. Gu Mingxia closed the document in her hand and smiled slightly at everyone in the conference room.
"There's no need for anyone to worry about that. Although Maoguang may not have many medical professionals, we have plenty elsewhere! As long as the annual salary we offer is satisfactory, Maoguang will never lack medical professionals again!"
"Xiangcheng does have many medical research labs, but which ones have talent worth poaching?"
“Of course there are many talents worth poaching. For example, the Gu family's research lab has medical talents from all over the world. As long as we are willing to spend money, we will definitely be able to poach a group of medical elites for our Maoguang!”
