Chapter 463 20% profit? Are you sure?
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "My grandfather isn't stubborn, he's just sad that I was bullied. Minister Li, what do you want to say here? Let's not beat around the bush and just say it."
Minister Li was slightly surprised to see her like this. Then he looked at Zhou Wansheng and saw that he was still dead. He immediately understood that the young girl still held the most power in the Zhou family.
Minister Li straightened up and nodded: "Since Miss Zhou is so straightforward, I, Old Li, won't delay any longer! I am heartbroken and sorry for what happened to you! I am heartbroken that such a scoundrel exists within our system. I'm sorry you've been wronged!"
After speaking, the other person stood up and bowed in Gu Yin's direction.
Gu Yin stood up and quickly moved aside, saying, "There's no need for that! I can't accept it!"
She was truly innocent in this matter. When she saw Director Han leading his men into the factory, it was impossible not to feel disheartened, but it was also something she had expected.
There are cancerous tumors like Director Han everywhere, and there are also people like Minister Li who care about the country and its people!
Zhou Wansheng scoffed, "All you ever do is play the emotional card! You used the same tactic when you approached me about a collaboration! And now you're using it again!"
Minister Li stood up and chuckled, "It doesn't matter if the method is old, as long as it works! Look, the room was as cold as an icebox just now, but now that I've bowed, it's suddenly sunny!"
Zhou Wansheng rolled his eyes: "You know we Zhou family members are soft-hearted! Humph! This time it's different!"
Minister Li sat down and nodded: "I know. I'm here on behalf of the leadership. We will definitely give Miss Zhou a satisfactory answer and Mr. Zhou an explanation."
Zhou Wansheng waved his hand: "None of that matters anymore. Tomorrow, after Ayin is discharged from the hospital, I'll process her transfer to another school. As for the company, it's not worth much money, so I don't want it anymore. The longer I stay, the more my heart aches! I feel suffocated!"
Minister Li's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that Zhou Wansheng's expression didn't seem fake, he looked at Gu Yin and said sincerely, "Ms. Zhou, you grew up here. Whether you go abroad or return to Hong Kong, I don't think you'll feel very comfortable. Your family, friends, and mentors are here. The fact that you refused to return from Foshan University shows that you love our country deeply! We understand that this matter has caused you sadness and disappointment for some reasons!"
Gu Yin sighed, “When I was in my senior year of high school, I originally wanted to study at Harbin University. It has ties to the military, and I felt more at ease there, both in terms of management and discipline. But after learning about life sciences, medicine, and biology, I changed my mind. I didn't want our country to spend dozens of times more money buying foreign drugs, and I didn't want our people to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan on vaccines that only cost a couple hundred yuan abroad! I chose Qingdao University because Professor Cheng was there; I just wanted to focus on my research and experiments! But my first experiment was a disgrace! I had only just proposed my hypothesis and written some data, and I wasn't even sure if I could pull it off! Someone wanted to deprive me of my right to conduct experiments! My resistance resulted in my family being arrested on charges of endangering the country! Anyone in that situation would feel deeply resentful! How can I possibly conduct experiments with peace of mind again? What if next time, or the time after that, when I produce an even more valuable experiment, someone comes along and says I've committed a crime? I don't want this kind of ordeal!”
Minister Li immediately assured him, "There won't be a next time! Absolutely not! I promise you!"
Gu Yin said helplessly, "What guarantee do you have? You're just from the Ministry of Finance; you have no jurisdiction over us at all."
"When I arrived, the leader discussed with Professor Cheng that after Professor Cheng retires, you will inherit his laboratory! You can decide who stays or leaves! Even if you only want to work alone, that's fine too! The experimental funding needed for this laboratory will be directly allocated to you by our Ministry of Finance! If your experiments are used commercially, you can receive 20% of the profits!"
Gu Yin was stunned! 20% of the profits were going to her! If she did a few more experiments, wouldn't her net worth be even higher than her grandfather's?!
Gu Yin swallowed hard, looking utterly pathetic: "20%? Are you sure it's not 0.2%?"
Gu Qinglang and Gu Qingming, who were standing next to them, were also shocked by the data!
Seeing that she was interested, Minister Li smiled and said, "You heard me right!"
The leader personally sought out Elder Cheng and asked him to assess Gu Yin's abilities. Elder Cheng's reply was that given time, no one, not only domestically but also internationally, could match Gu Yin's talent!
The evaluation was too high! The leaders had to hold a meeting to discuss it and finally determined this compensation.
Gu Yin looked at Zhou Wansheng: "Grandpa."
Zhou Wansheng coughed lightly: "Well, well, it's not impossible to consider it. If Ayin accepts this condition, won't that scum from the Ministry of State Security go easy on her?"
Minister Li shook his head solemnly: "Absolutely not! He will definitely be punished by law!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wansheng reluctantly replied, "That's alright, Ayin. You can choose for yourself. No matter which one you choose, Grandpa will support you!"
Gu Yin blinked and coughed lightly: "Well, okay then, that's settled."
Minister Li breathed a sigh of relief and took out the document: "Just sign here, and the conditions will be effective."
Gu Yin took the pen and signed her name.
Minister Li looked at Zhou Wansheng: "Shall we continue the meeting afterward?"
Zhou Wansheng nodded: "Send me the meeting time and location on my phone later."
Having completed his task, Minister Li's smile became genuine: "I await good news! Then I won't disturb Miss Zhou's rest any longer! I'll take my leave now; I still have work to handle at the department."
After everyone left, Zhou Wansheng smiled and looked at Gu Yin: "Not bad!"
Gu Yin laughed too: "It's alright, I handled it just right. I thought they would give me the lab, but I didn't expect them to give me 20% of the profits! But with that, the higher-ups should be relieved."
People who are swayed by money are controllable; the most dangerous people are the intelligent ones who are unmoved by power or money. The Zhou family is wealthy and influential in Hong Kong and the world. If Gu Yin insists on not accepting compensation and insists on going to Hong Kong, she believes she will never be able to leave the airport.
Just as it was time to have dinner, Grandpa Chu, Grandma Chu, and Aunt Zhu brought the food into the ward.
The old lady stepped forward worriedly and took Gu Yin's hand: "How are you feeling? Are you alright?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "It's alright, Grandma, you'll be discharged tomorrow!"
"It's good that you're alright! You've suffered so much this time! Your Aunt Zhu made some delicious food for you! Let's eat more to calm our nerves!"
When Grandpa Chu saw that Gu Yin was alright, he was relieved.
"The Han family will have a hard time surviving this time, and Ayin has done the Xie family a great favor!"
Gu Yin looked at Old Master Chu with a puzzled expression: "Are the Han family and the Xie family at odds?"
Old Master Chu nodded: "Political enemies, the kind who will surely fall if you bring them good fortune! Although the Han family in the military is the most important, the Ministry of State Security is also a very important entity! They support us in terms of both money and information. Now that Deputy Director Han has suffered, the Han family has also lost an arm! Strike while the iron is hot. The Xie family has already made arrangements, and they owe A-Yin a huge favor!"
Gu Yin suddenly realized! So the Xie family's real rival was the Han family! They were indeed cunning!
