Chapter 360 Being Targeted
After the recording finished playing, Gu Yin looked at the reporter: "This is my first time participating in a competition. Hearing such remarks and seeing such people makes me wonder if I've come to the wrong place! Isn't this the most authoritative competition in the world? Aren't the team leaders and jurors the most authoritative professors in the field of biology in their respective countries?"
The reporter paused for a moment, then, seeing that reporters from other countries were looking at him, he had no choice but to nod: "That's right."
Gu Yin looked at Tore and the others, her expression serious yet filled with doubt, and said, "Racism, sexism, verbal abuse—how can such uncivilized behavior appear in someone with such high achievements? Does achievement really not represent character? If so, that's terrifying! Someone with such high achievements, yet their character is so lacking! I'm very worried about the candidates from those countries. Perhaps the results you worked so hard to achieve will be someone else's in the blink of an eye. Perhaps you've already made it into the national team, but then you drink a glass of water from the team leader before boarding the plane, causing you to get diarrhea, and then someone less capable than you, but a relative of the team leader, takes your place, only to accuse you of holding them back. It's terrifying to think about!"
As soon as Gu Yin finished speaking, everyone below became puzzled, because some of the things Gu Yin mentioned had actually happened in some countries!
Many students would think it's a coincidence, but if it's really as Gu Yin said, then...!!
In this competition, three out of the four members of Tore's team won silver medals, while the one who didn't win anything—the one who didn't win a gold medal—replaced his original teammate, who couldn't make it because of a stomachache at the airport!
Now that Gu Yin said this, the other three looked at Tuolei and the examinee.
"Teacher, do you want to explain?!"
"With Alice's grades, she could have won the silver medal, but she got diarrhea right before boarding the plane, so Ryan took her place. Ryan's grades have always been below tenth place. Even if you changed teammates, it shouldn't be Ryan's turn. Teacher, please explain this?"
Tore squinted at the others: "You all believe that man's nonsense?!"
The other two students remained silent, but their eyes clearly indicated that they wanted an explanation from him.
"I am your teacher! Are you questioning me? You are questioning your teacher because of an outsider?! Have you forgotten your respect for teachers? Just you wait! I will report your words and actions to the entire school when we get back!"
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she didn't wait for anyone else to reply and went straight off the stage. Anyway, she had already done what she needed to do. Whether an arrogant person like Tore could bear the strange looks from others after returning was his problem. Besides, there was more than one country that couldn't stand Tore's people!
The UN Secretary-General took the stage, waved his hand, and said, "It was supposed to be a happy day, but it turned out like this." He shrugged.
Then he continued, "The backstabbing and backstabbing are matters for your foreign ministries, not for our academic circles! Some people shouldn't bring those dirty things in and ruin our forum! Some people are too focused on their own interests, resulting in no progress at all over the years. They haven't published a single substantive paper and have been living off their past achievements. Instead of mocking others, they should be doing more experiments!"
The people below looked at Tore and his group again, and Tore and his group all lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Alright, let's congratulate Gu Yin from China once again for winning first place and the gold medal in this competition with a perfect score!"
Loud applause erupted from below, and Li Lifang clapped until his hands were red and swollen, but he still didn't want to stop!
After all the medals were awarded, the banquet began.
In addition to the organizers, team leaders from various countries, and students, the dinner party was attended by university professors and representatives from several biotechnology companies.
Gu Yin and the others changed into simple, understated dresses and followed Li Lifang inside.
Just as Gu Yin and the others got their drinks, a young man walked over.
"Excuse me, are you Professor Li and student Gu Yin?"
Li Lifang nodded: "Yes, and you are?"
The man handed his business card to the group and said with a smile, "I'm Mr. Tebo from JIA Biotechnology. I came to this party specifically for you all!"
Gu Yin glanced at the introduction on the business card: "JIA Biotechnology Company, General Manager of Tebo Le".
Li Lifang smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your interest, but my student does not plan to work in your country, I'm sorry."
Teber raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Yin: "Gu Yin, JIA is a top-tier company internationally. On behalf of JIA, I sincerely invite you to join our company. Don't rush to refuse. JIA's offer is that you can study at Harbin University for the next few years until you graduate with your doctorate. During your studies, everything you research and gain will be yours. However, after graduation, you will have to work for our company, and your research will belong to the company. Of course, we will give you profit sharing, buy you a house in Boston, and help you apply for a green card. Gu Yin, what are your thoughts?"
Gu Yin looked at the smug look in his eyes, smiled and shook her head: "Mr. Teberle, I am still a minor, and all my affairs are managed by my guardian, so I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, and I apologize again."
Turbo smiled and said, "We can also help you arrange for your family to come over, and we can also provide your family with a respectable partnership, but you have to sign a lifetime agreement with our company, how about that?"
Gu Yin raised her glass, and Teber raised his eyebrows and clinked glasses with her.
"Mr. Teber, my parents are native farmers of China. Even though my family has enough money now, our land is never idle. Whether we plant rice, sweet potatoes, or peanuts, whenever it's planting time, my family members return from the city to the countryside to work. That's their root, their support, and their backing for their struggles in the city. As long as we have land, no matter how badly we do outside, we will never starve. No matter how well we do, we will always keep our land back home. We will go back to our old age to live out our days. A mother doesn't despise her son for being poor, and a son doesn't despise his mother for being ugly. A gentleman never forgets his roots. This is the deep-seated conviction in the bones of us Chinese. A person's conviction is a very dangerous thing. My conviction is my family, and my family's conviction is also my family. We cannot leave our motherland, nor do we want to leave. Mr. Teber, do you understand what I mean?"
Terber sighed. He knew it! Chinese people are always like this! No matter how much benefit they are given, no matter how difficult their path is in China, they never waver! So foolish! But such people are very popular in some top international companies. Why? Because they are grateful, because they have a strong sense of community, because they will not betray, and because they are smart!
"It's a pity we can't be colleagues, but if you ever regret it, you can contact me anytime. Congratulations again on your great achievement! Goodbye!" After saying that, he raised his glass and turned to find the others.
Seeing JIA's manager leave with a regretful expression, those who had been itching to make a move fell silent.
Li Lifang patted Gu Yin on the shoulder: "Well done!" To be honest, he was a little nervous. Te Bole had a good attitude and offered very good terms. He was afraid that Gu Yin would agree, after all, it was a JIA.
Before Gu Yin could speak, an old man with a full head of white hair walked over.
