Chapter 513 Snatching People
Perhaps sensing Wu Ye's hesitation, the second senior brother quickly stepped forward, shook his hand, and said warmly, "This must be Mr. Wu Ye! Hello, hello, welcome! I am Zhang Ge, A Yin's second senior brother! I am also the person in charge of your drug trial! After looking at your current data, we are very confident that you can be cured! Please don't be nervous or worried! Just think of the supervisor as someone who has come to visit!"
For the first time, Wu Ye felt intimidated by someone's enthusiasm. He chuckled awkwardly, "Not nervous, not scared." Yeah, right!
Looking at his former boss's attitude, and then at Zhang Ge's attitude, Wu Ye felt like a guinea pig on a testing ground! The kind that willingly offered itself up! Was it too late to regret it now? He wanted to go home! This was fine too; it was just a matter of living a few more years!
But seeing that Zhang Ge was holding his hand tightly, Wu Ye didn't dare to move, afraid that struggling too hard would hurt him, and then it would be difficult for him to get out of there!
Seeing Wu Ye's reaction, the senior leader suppressed a laugh and coughed lightly: "Professor Zhang, is your director here?"
Zhang Ge quickly let go and said earnestly, "Hello, old chief! The director told me to wait for you to arrive and that you could go directly to the third floor to find him! You know his office. I need to take Mr. Wu Ye for a check-up first, so I'm in a bit of a hurry and won't be able to accompany you upstairs. I hope you understand!"
The old leader waved his hand: "No need for those formalities, you all go ahead and get busy, I'll take Comrade Zhou up there!"
Zhang Ge looked at Gu Yin, who nodded. So Zhang Ge took Wu Ye to the laboratory first, as things were quite urgent and many tests needed to be redone.
The old leader led Gu Yin up to the third floor. The director's office door was open, and Gu Yin knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Gu Yin stepped back behind the old leader, letting him go in first, and then followed him in, closing the door behind him.
The director and the former leader were about the same age; he was a kind old man.
Seeing the two enter, the director snorted twice: "Nobody comes here without a reason. Senior brother, you're never here for anything good!"
The old leader chuckled and sat down, shaking his head: "Old Zhang, you still have the same bad temper! I'm here to deliver research results to your graduate students, the kind that could win a Nobel Prize. If you think it's nothing good, then I'll leave?"
Director Zhang, who had been looking at everyone with displeasure, suddenly broke into a smile. As he walked out from behind his desk, he said with a laugh, "What are you saying, senior brother! I saw magpies calling incessantly on the branches early this morning! I thought it was some distinguished guest! I didn't expect it to be you, my esteemed guest! It's truly an honor to meet you! Come, come, have some tea!"
After pouring a cup of tea for the old leader, he then poured one for Gu Yin as well. Gu Yin quickly stepped forward to thank him.
Director Zhang looked at Gu Yin: "And who is this young lady?"
The former leader introduced him: "This is Zhou Guyin, a student of Qingdao University, and also Professor Cheng's last disciple."
Director Zhang's eyes lit up: "What year are you in? You look quite young. Are you keeping up with your studies? Which lab are you planning to go to after graduation? If you ask me, you've spent the whole university year with Professor Cheng. After graduation, you should visit other labs! Learn from everyone's strengths and develop your own unique perspective. I guarantee you'll benefit immensely! How about coming to visit our institute? Your second senior brother happens to be here too. You know who he is!"
Gu Yin: "..." She knew it! How could someone as serious as Master Cheng have raised such an unreliable person like her second senior brother! So that's where it all started!
"Hmph! You're dreaming! You're really pushing your luck! Comrade Zhou is a promising talent we're cultivating at our base! And you're just wandering around everywhere! Do you think you'll stay forever? What are you thinking?!" The old leader put down his teacup and immediately glared at Director Zhang, his displeasure evident.
Director Zhang chuckled: "Your place is like a cage, only lunatics like to go there. It's troublesome to come and go, not to mention that if you have any achievements, they have to be suppressed and can't be published. You won't achieve anything. Our Comrade Zhou is beautiful and kind-hearted, why would she want to go there!"
The old leader sneered: "Your place has freedom, but funding is a real struggle. You have to beg and plead to do an experiment. Unlike our base, where funding is free! Besides, although our experiments can't be known to outsiders, our names will be recorded in history! The higher-ups will remember us! Unsung heroes are heroes too! Finally, our base isn't full of lunatics; it's a gathering place for top geniuses! You think Comrade Zhou is like you? You're wrong! The thing Wu Ye used this time was made by her! Do you think your lab can keep her?!"
When the big shots started arguing, Gu Yin, trembling with fear, tried her best to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
Director Zhang hadn't expected this turn of events! He looked at Gu Yin, who was sitting obediently to the side, in surprise: "Is what Senior Brother said true? Did you make that drug?"
Gu Yin blinked: "If you're talking about that nutrient solution, then I was indeed involved."
Director Zhang: "...How old are you? What's your IQ?"
Gu Yin: "I'll be 18 next year, and I haven't had my IQ tested." The system's settings are different from those in the real world, so she really hasn't had her IQ tested.
The old leader laughed and said, "She won international gold medals in biochemistry and physics Olympiads, and was also the top scorer in the national college entrance examination. Her IQ can't be that low. Moreover, the 'shingles eradication vaccine' incident that caused quite a stir in our circle was also researched by her alone, and it has already reached phase II clinical trials. Tell me, where else is she suitable besides our place? Someone like her can only avoid being buried in our place. You guys in the backstabbing lab, haha!"
Gu Yin: "..." She could also do it in her own lab, but she didn't say that. After all, she was already on the list of people above, and it would be a bit unrealistic for her to go out and cause trouble on her own.
Director Zhang's gaze towards Gu Yin grew increasingly fervent: "Comrade Zhou, come to our institute! We'll give you your own lab! Funding will be prioritized for you! As the director, I guarantee you a clean academic environment! No trash will bother you! And our institute is truly fair! There will be no stealing of others' work! Come to our institute!"
Gu Yin chuckled and said, "Thank you very much for the invitation, but I am doing quite well in the professor's lab and have no plans to go to other labs at the moment. Moreover, if I really want to do experiments, even if the lab's funding is insufficient, I have my own money. So, I haven't decided yet which research institute I will work at or whether I will work independently. The professor also supports my decision and we will talk about it when I graduate."
As for Base 101, I haven't graduated yet, so I won't be going in right now.
The old leader knew about Gu Yin's plans, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, they all knew that Gu Yin would come to 101.
Director Zhang sighed, "What a pity."
The old leader smiled and changed the subject: "Now let's talk about Wu Ye. If your medicine works later, you will definitely ask us for information on the nutritional supplements, and then combine them with your medicine to create a new and effective treatment for AIDS. This achievement will be world-renowned!"
Director Zhang nodded: "Zhang Ge and the others do have this idea. What, are you still going to hide it? This is a life-saving drug for 20 million people! The higher-ups will definitely agree to let you take it out! Unless you yourselves don't want to!"
The old leader shook his head: "That's why I came here. I can take it out! But I have one condition! I want Comrade Zhou Guyin's name to be on your papers and documents! This is a must. If not, we'd rather not release it. Also, I hope you can minimize the presence of the nutrient solution in this experiment, and preferably not expose the data. This stuff has already been bought by the military. I don't want foreigners to use our country's stuff to enhance physical fitness to fight against us! I know you can do it. How about it? This condition isn't difficult, is it?"
Gu Yin didn't expect that her former leader would still think of her, but then she thought about it and realized that if he really hoped that she would go to Base 101 in the future, then this could be considered that the base had extended an olive branch to her and she was trying to curry favor with him.
Director Zhang thought for a moment and nodded: "I can agree. The drug in our lab was developed by Zhang Ge. He made the greatest contribution and will definitely be the first author. Comrade Zhou's name will be listed as the first author along with her senior brother. What do you think?"
The old leader was very satisfied with Director Zhang's arrangement. He looked at Gu Yin and asked, "What do you think?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "It's fine to put me as the second author. I prefer that my name is the only one in the paper, such as the shingles vaccine that is currently in phase II trials. As for the current one, it's fine that you are the first author! No need to change it!"
After all, she really didn't do much. She didn't have time to come to the later experiments. She occupied the first author position but didn't dare to do anything. Her senior brother didn't have any complaints, but others definitely would. Moreover, she didn't want to become famous so quickly. She was still young. It would be good if she became famous with the shingles vaccine, which would be around next year.
The director was surprised: "Do you know the difference between first author and second author?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I know, don't worry, I'm serious."
Seeing that she insisted, Director Zhang didn't say anything more.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the old leader stood up and said, "Let's go downstairs and see what's going on!"
