Chapter 499 Acquaintances
Long Yu lingered, taking a new set of bowls and chopsticks from the table behind him. Not minding that they had already eaten half of their food, he said while eating, "Just kidding, Miss Zhou, please don't mind. Put the bill on my tab later."
Chu Yan laughed angrily: "Do I need your meal?"
Long Yu raised his drink: "The son of the richest man certainly doesn't lack anything! I do! This meal is on you! Is that alright?"
After the three clinked glasses, Long Yu looked at Chu Yan and said, "When are you coming back? Come back and help me out, I need someone."
Chu Yan raised an eyebrow: "Coming to help you at your hot pot restaurant? But you've already graduated?"
Long Yu: "No way. You're a top student from Foshan University, a student of famous teachers. If you came to this store, even if you didn't say anything, I'd kill myself. I graduated a long time ago. I skipped a grade after finishing the first year of high school and took the college entrance exam. Then I studied abroad for a few years and am currently working at the Ministry of Commerce. Are you coming or not?"
Chu Yan knew this was an opportunity to change his family's fortunes, but...
“I’m not suited for this job. I like freedom. I just want to make money without any constraints. I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t do this kind of work. Besides, I’m the only child in my family. I also have to take over the burden from my father.”
Long Yu said regretfully, "I knew it. Fine, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Everyone has their own ambitions."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Yin and asked, "Where does your younger sister study?"
Gu Yin: "Qingda."
"Oh ho, you skipped a grade like me? What's your major? How about you come work for me after you graduate? How about I reserve the secretary position for you? You're so good-looking, you should be the face of our Ministry of Commerce! When we talk to those foreigners about cooperation, let them know what the demeanor of a great power is!"
Gu Yin said helplessly, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I'm a biology student."
Long Yu clutched his chest: "Phew! It's okay! Biology is good, biology is good too! Do you know Professor Cheng from the biology department at Qingda University? He's the most outstanding person in your department. You should work hard and try to get into his graduate program."
Gu Yin chuckled: "Teacher Cheng is my teacher."
Long Yu was surprised. He looked at Chu Yan, then at Gu Yin: "Really?"
Gu Yin: "Really."
Long Yu raised the drink again: "My apologies!"
After finishing his drink, he looked at Chu Yan and asked, "Where did you find such a treasure?!"
Chu Yan proudly declared, "It's fate."
Long Yu: "...Little sister, do you have any other sisters? Introduce me to one!"
Gu Yin knew the other person was joking, so she laughed and said, "I also have an older sister who is in her final year of high school."
Long Yu sighed softly, "Then forget it, I can't do something as beastly as Chu Yan! I'm a good person! I've known since I was little that he's not a good person. You, my lovely flower, still need to think it over!"
Chu Yan picked up a pack of tissues and threw it at him: "You're leaving now that you're full? Are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Long Yu took out a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, then pulled out his phone: "Give me your contact information abroad, I need to contact you later."
Chu Yan didn't ask what was going on, and simply gave them the number.
Long Yu put away his phone and looked at the two of them: "Then I won't be a third wheel! I'll treat you to dinner when you're free! Bye!"
After everyone left, Gu Yin looked at Chu Yan curiously: "You two have a good relationship?"
Chu Yan rubbed his brow: "He was very good when we were in school, but we haven't been in touch since. Your family is special, and the school you went to is different from ours. I ran into him abroad a few days ago, we caught up for a while, and we became familiar with each other again. He's still the same as always."
Gu Yin understood.
When it was time to pay the bill after the meal, they were told that their boss, Long Yu, had already paid.
They had originally planned to go to the movies, but Gu Qinglang kept urging them not to come back too late, so the two had to give up. On the way back, Chu Yan remembered to bring Gu Shu a roast duck.
The next day, after seeing Chu Yan off at the airport, Gu Yin was about to go to the laboratory when Yao Lao came to her house.
The old apothecary touched the manuscript in his hand and reluctantly handed it to Gu Yin: "I have finished reading this manuscript. Thank you for lending it to me for so long."
Gu Yin didn't take it: "Master Yao, I'm not a medical student, so it's useless to me. It's a complete waste. You keep it."
Old Yao closed his eyes and pushed the object in front of Gu Yin: "Stop talking, or I'll be reluctant to part with it. This could be a family heirloom! I dare not take it! You keep it safe!"
Gu Yin was helpless. This was what the divine messenger had instructed Yao Lao to do, and since she had said it, she must have her reasons.
"I don't want it. It's really useless to me! If it gets bitten by bugs, you'll be too upset to even think about it. It will only be useful if I give it to you. If I give it to me, it will just be wasted."
The old apothecary opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and finally reached out and slowly moved the scroll back: "You really gave it to me?"
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Old Medicine Man said quickly, taking back the notebook: "You're a perfect girl! If you have any problems at the base, just come to me! If anyone in your family is feeling unwell, just come to me too! I promise you all will live to be over 90! I won't bother you any longer, I'm going back to continue my research!"
Gu Yin nodded, and after seeing the person off, she also went to school.
As soon as I arrived at the lab, I saw Professor Cheng walking out with a frown on his face.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Cheng Dong waved his hand: "It's nothing, you go about your business." Then he left the laboratory building.
Gu Yin guessed it was something to do with her junior uncle, but this was something that couldn't be known to outsiders, so she didn't ask any further questions.
The shingles vaccine trials have entered their final stage. Once everything is clear, Gu Yin will submit an application, and after approval from higher authorities, it can proceed to the production phase.
"001, which direction do you think I should focus on for my new research project?"
While searching for information online, Gu Yin asked 001.
After waiting for a while without hearing 001's voice, Gu Yin closed her eyes and entered the system space.
"001? Are you there?"
The system space was very quiet, empty, and 001 was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Yin frowned. Could it be that she was punished by its director?
If 001 had been helping its owner with what the owner said before, why didn't it tell the truth and instead said it was all just good luck?
Gu Yin thought about it for a long time and waited for a long time in the space, but she didn't see it, so she had to leave the space first.
