Chapter 548: Nonsense! (Two chapters combined!)
After Gu Yin finished washing up, everyone in her family had already returned.
While eating, Gu Yin asked Gu Shu, "How was your day at the company?"
Although it's Tuesday, Gu Shu didn't have any classes today and was taken to the Chu Group by Chu Xiong early this morning.
As previously agreed, Gu Shu would be allowed to intern there whenever he had free time.
After quickly eating a few bites of rice, Gu Shu sighed and said, "How should I put it? I'm practically floating on air!"
Everyone looked at him.
Gu Qingming frowned even more: "What do you mean? You're already getting cocky on your first day?"
Gu Shu quickly explained, "I originally said that I could go and report by myself, starting as an intern, and not let anyone in the company know that I know Uncle Chu, so that I could have a better internship!"
When Chu Xiong heard what he said, he laughed and asked him why he had such an idea, and whether he watched too many TV dramas.
Gu Shu nodded a little embarrassedly: "That's how it's portrayed on TV. They say that if it's like this, they won't know I have a background, and they won't make things easy for me in any way. That's how I can learn things."
Chu Xiong shook his head and said, "If you follow your method and start learning as an intern with no background, I can assure you that you won't learn anything useful this year. An intern with no background, no professional knowledge, and a blank slate will only be doing menial tasks when you first enter the company. If you want someone to mentor you, you'll have to treat people to meals, do chores, pick up packages, park cars, buy food, and so on. Even if you're very obedient, you might not be able to get a permanent position after your internship. If you encounter a good leader, even if you don't have to do these trivial things, why should they teach you what they need to earn their living? Learning new things will starve you; it's a thankless task."
After thinking about it for a moment, Gu Shu had to admit that Chu Xiong was talking nonsense.
Chu Xiong continued, "But if I bring you in, the whole company will know that I brought you in, and no one will dare to neglect you. No matter where you go or what you say, everyone will treat you kindly. Whatever you want to learn, they will not keep it from you, and will even do their best to help you improve. They will even compete with each other to help you learn. Which of these two methods do you think is better?"
Gu Shu was genuinely stunned: "The second method is better."
Chu Xiong smiled and nodded: "Just remember, you're not here to be a laborer. You're here to learn how to build a company, how to manage a company, and even how to identify and use people. Of course, for the first two, just follow me around and observe, listen, ask questions, think, and do more. As for identifying and using people, I don't need to teach you. You'll experience it today."
After Gu Shu finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said helplessly, "And then I experienced it all day today."
Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "How did you come to that conclusion?"
Gu Shu put down her rice bowl: "After I went in, I first followed Uncle Chu's assistant to learn. I drank no less than ten cups of coffee in the morning! They paid for them all. Lunch was free! I asked around and found out that lunch actually cost over a thousand yuan! In the afternoon, there were all kinds of desserts, milk tea, and coffee, all brand names! There were also countless compliments! They made me feel like I was the chosen one who could do everything! After get off work in the afternoon, the people in the company wanted to treat me to dinner, go out to play, and go shopping! Tell me, in an environment like that, it would be strange if I didn't get cocky!"
The old man said in a deep voice, "Why don't you know how to refuse? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
Gu Shu nodded: "I know! But Uncle Chu won't let me refuse. He wants me to identify which of these people are sincere, which have ulterior motives, which are useful, and which are just there for show. He also won't let anyone else help me. Now at the company, every few steps I walk, someone comes up to talk to me, and every few steps I walk, someone invites me to dinner. It's so annoying!"
Wang Yanzhi nodded: "Ayan has learned all of Chu Xiong's skills. Look how fast Ayan has grown. It's always right to listen to him. Don't be like your Grandpa Zhou and me, who misjudged people and treated enemies as family, and regretted it for the rest of our lives!"
Speaking of this, Gu Yin and the others had almost forgotten about Wang Tianbao and his wife.
Gu Yin asked curiously, "How are those two doing in prison?"
Wang Yanzhi's lips curled up: "I heard a couple of days ago that a group of thugs got into their prison, really awful ones. During their exercise time, a brawl broke out there, and Wang Tianbao unfortunately got caught up in it and was beaten half to death. Your grandfather went to see him just a couple of days ago. As for the women's prison where Mu Hong is, after hearing about her situation, she's been bullied by the people there. She's at the very bottom of the hierarchy. I visited her a couple of days ago; her hair is completely white, and she doesn't look like she used to be pampered at all. I heard that Zhao Tengfei and Zhao Feifei were abandoned by the Zhao family, and they can barely support themselves anymore. I also heard that A-Le went to the Royal Academy, and A-Yin got into Qingda University and even got into Cheng Dong's lab. She was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot! I don't think she can hold on for much longer!"
Gu Yin blinked: "You and Grandpa often go to see them?"
Wang Yanzhi nodded: "Of course! Your grandfather and I visit them every now and then, and we tell them about the good things that happened at home and the situation of those two kids. They care a lot about these things, so I have no choice but to grant their request. Alas, it's a pity that they've only been in prison for a year, and their willpower is already so weak. They vomited blood and fainted after hearing the news. Luckily, we were separated by glass, not face to face, otherwise they would have tried to frame us and say that we were the ones who caused it!"
Grandma Gu's lips twitched. They've already pierced someone's lungs, and you two still say it has nothing to do with it? But she did agree. Compared to what Wang Tianbao and his wife had done, these things were nothing. It was just that they weren't broad-minded enough to not be able to stand to see their granddaughter and grandson doing well!
Gu Yin gave a thumbs up: "Grandma is amazing!"
Wang Yanzhi smiled and glanced at her, then looked at Gu Shu: "In the business world, the most taboo thing is to misjudge people. You are still young and have a high starting point. If you are not careful, you will be ruined. Now that you have Chu Xiong to guide you, this is a rare opportunity. Learn well."
The other members of the Gu family haven't ventured deep into the business world and don't have a solid foundation. The Zhou family's company is in Hong Kong, which is inconvenient. With the Chu family's help, that would be perfect.
Gu Shu nodded solemnly, "Grandma Zhou, I will study hard!"
The next morning, Gu Yin returned to school. After class, she went back to the lab and saw her second senior brother, Zhang Ge, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Fifth student is out of class?!"
Gu Yin nodded: "Senior brother, what brings you here? Have you finished your experiment?"
Zhang Ge shook his head: "Not yet, but it has entered clinical trials. I heard that my junior sister is planning to do something big again?"
Seeing Zhang Ge's curious look, Gu Yin raised an eyebrow: "What, Senior Brother wants to come too?"
Zhang Ge quickly walked over and asked seriously, "Is it really going to be that big?"
Gu Yin nodded: "What, is Second Senior Brother trying to persuade me to give up?"
Zhang Ge exclaimed in surprise, "Fifth Brother, why would you think of me like that? Others might not believe in you, but I know your abilities, so how could I not believe in you! Although this project is a bit difficult, I believe you can definitely succeed! This is some material from our lab. I don't know if it's useful or not. Take a look. If it's useful, keep it; if not, just break it up. I won't get involved, as I can't be without someone with me. I came here today mainly because the professor mentioned this and asked me to see if we had any materials or anything like that, so I brought it to you. You're a promising young man! Keep it up!"
After Zhang Ge finished speaking, he patted Gu Yin on the shoulder and said with great ambition, "At that time, our sect will be the light of the world's biomedicine!"
Yue Zemin's lips twitched: "Senior brother, you're drooling, wipe it off."
Zhang Ge quickly wiped his mouth, "Senior brother, I was too excited, sorry... Third brother, are you itching for a beating? There's drool on you! Where's fourth brother?! Where did fourth brother go?! Fourth brother! Why don't you keep an eye on your boyfriend! Otherwise, you shouldn't keep a boyfriend like that!"
Yue Zemin quickly stepped forward and dragged the man toward the door: "Senior brother, your lab can't do without you, you should go back now."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Gu Yin shook her head helplessly.
Meng Yu came out of the lab and looked at Gu Yin with a puzzled expression: "Why did I hear my senior calling me? Where is he?"
Gu Yin pointed to the door: "The two senior brothers have gone out, nothing's wrong."
Meng Yu rolled her eyes, turned around and walked towards the lab: "What a nuisance! How old are you and still causing trouble!"
Gu Yin smiled and sat down to look through the documents Zhang Ge had brought.
The information Zhang Ge brought was not as detailed as that brought by Professor Cheng, and some of it was repetitive. There was some useful information, but it wasn't very helpful.
Gu Yin put down the documents and began to consult the literature.
This year, the most authoritative comprehensive medical journal published a paper on targeted drugs for advanced gastric cancer. This news proves that targeted therapy for gastric cancer has made historic progress!
Targeted drugs have precise therapeutic effects on specific sites, but the side effects are also very significant! A patient's body contains not only tumor cells but also cells without the virus. Targeted drugs act on these cells, and data shows that the toxic side effects of targeted drugs often lead to death!
The medication is important, but so are the side effects. Many patients survive cancer treatment, but often succumb to the side effects of targeted therapies.
After reviewing the materials, Gu Yin organized the information she needed, then returned to her dormitory and went straight to the system library to get busy.
She was busy with other things, but the graduate students at the school were in an uproar because of the news that Du Kai and Zhao Qingqing had discovered.
The two were also single, so they went directly to the relevant supervisors and, on behalf of Professor Cheng and Gu Yin, asked the supervisors to notify outstanding graduate students who had free time in the coming year and had not yet started their research projects to go to the auditorium to receive awards.
Surprisingly, quite a lot of people came because of Mr. Cheng's reputation.
Looking at the densely packed crowd on the ground, Du Kai swallowed hard: "Aren't you panicking?"
Zhao Qingqing took a deep breath: "What's the panic! We've come this far, what's there to panic about! Let's go!" After saying that, she walked confidently to the podium.
The people underground were immediately displeased when they saw two young men coming up.
"Wasn't it supposed to be Professor Cheng's lab recruiting? Why are there two students here?!"
"Are you kidding us?!"
Zhao Qingqing tested the microphone on the podium: "Hello! You can hear me, right? Then I won't waste any more time. The people here today are the most outstanding and fervent people in our school! It is an honor for both of us to gather here with you! Next, please look at the PPT. If you are interested after watching it, you can stay. If you have any questions, you can also stay. If you feel deceived or think we are joking, please leave. We are not on the same page!"
After saying that, she opened the PPT that she and Du Kai had made, which included Gu Yin's background, academic performance, experimental results, and what the new research topic was.
After the PPT is finished playing.
The once-full meeting room was now mostly empty, with more than half of the people leaving!
"Nonsense!"
"ignorance!"
"Your courage is commendable, but you're too proud. It's better to be down-to-earth!"
Once no one stood up, the two people on stage breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, not everyone had left!
The people below started asking questions.
"Is Zhou the lead researcher or is Professor Cheng the person in charge of this project?"
Du Kai looked at the person: "It's Zhou, Professor Cheng didn't participate in this project."
The man raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and got up to leave.
A female student wearing glasses raised her hand: "I would like to ask, what preparations did Zhou make for this project?"
Zhao Qingqing smiled, "After Professor Cheng reviewed the research proposal, he sent it to the higher-ups. The proposal has been approved, and the funding is also being applied for. It should be approved in the next couple of days. This research project is extremely large, but you don't need to worry about the funding. Zhou can definitely manage it! She even researched all the information in the world and only started this project after confirming her own capabilities. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a world-shaking and world-renowned feat! Once the experiment succeeds, your names will be recorded in history!"
A professor from the department asked, "What if you fail? Has Zhou mentioned how long it will take to see any results, even just a tiny bit?"
Zhao Qingqing said earnestly, "We haven't done it yet, so no one knows whether it will succeed or fail, but we firmly believe that our boss will succeed! Teacher, we can't answer your question. After all, no scientist in the world can tell you for sure when there will be results for targeted drugs! This is a huge gamble! If we win, it will be a blessing for hundreds of millions of patients worldwide! You will also be world-renowned and go down in history! If we lose, it will only be a delay of a few years, but isn't that normal for us researchers? Some people never finish in their entire lives, do you think they are failures? In our opinion, no. Our boss once said that even if there are no results, what we do can remind future generations! If one path doesn't work, we try another! There is never a word 'waste' in researchers' research!"
After a moment of silence, the principal looked at the hesitant crowd and asked with a smile, "How is Gu Yin's shingles eradication vaccine experiment going? What stage has it reached?"
Upon hearing this, Du Kai replied, "The Phase III clinical trial has already begun, and the drug is being manufactured at the pharmaceutical company. It will be on the market soon."
The crowd below started discussing it again.
Many people want to ask about the new and old research topics, but they also know that these two people are just students and probably don't know much.
Seeing that everyone had finished chatting, Zhao Qingqing said, "If you all want to stay, please come up and sign in. Come here at the same time tomorrow, and our boss will answer your questions!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Those who wanted to stay went up to sign their names, but some still left immediately.
After everyone had left, the principal stepped forward and asked, "Well, how many people are left?"
"There are 25 more people, mostly with master's or doctoral degrees."
The principal nodded and smiled, "Those old guys are too proud to admit it. They'll regret it someday! Let's go back!"
