Chapter 116 - He Treats You
Chapter 116 - He Treats You
As the director of the research institute, Duan Yunhong had to visit Tianyue's research center for both moral and legal reasons, so he went.
He was of high status, but he came casually—mostly he was alone—so the director of the center met and talked with him for less than half an hour before asking his subordinates to accompany him to visit the center.
Duan Yunhong had no complaints. He followed the two researchers around and then made a request: when the researchers from Tianyue went to Huichuan for exchanges, he was very interested in Chen Yikun's research and wanted to talk to him again this time.
The researcher who led the way did not suspect anything and called Chen Yikun over.
When Chen Yikun heard that Duan Yunhong had come and wanted to see him, he was reluctant to come at first. He had heard from Yu Zhou a long time ago about who Duan Yunhong was. To put it bluntly, he was here to urge him to give up fulfilling the original owner's wish. If Duan Yunhong had come earlier, when Chen Yikun was most helpless, Chen Yikun might have adopted his idea. Now that everything has settled down, Chen Yikun doesn't want to pay any attention to this guy.
But Duan Yunhong already has this position, so Chen Yikun has no choice but to go. So he picked up his phone and fiddled with it for a long time before reluctantly going to meet Duan Yunhong.
The meeting place was a small conference room in the research center. Tianyue’s scientific research results were hung on the walls of the conference room, and there were some samples on the shelves. Although it was a bit strange, Chen Yikun felt a little more at ease meeting Duan Yunhong in this familiar place. At least he was not afraid of Duan Yunhong taking action here.
Surprisingly, after Chen Yikun carefully sat down opposite him, the first thing Duan Yunhong asked was actually about Chen Yikun's research topic. And it sounds like it really makes sense. Since he was chatting like this, Chen Yikun had no choice but to respond, so he had to communicate with him within the scope of their communication.
After a while of academic discussion, Duan Yunhong followed the topic of Huichuan's research and said, "In fact, Huichuan had a project before to recruit volunteers to participate in clinical trials, which was just right for your adopted daughter. But she should have arrived in Tianyue by then, so she missed it. Otherwise, her condition would have had a chance to be greatly improved, not just to control the rate of deterioration."
"Huichuang actually researched this kind of drug...?!" Chen Yikun was really surprised, but he reacted quickly and thought it through immediately. "It's a pity that it didn't make it in time for clinical trials. But now the speed of launching new drugs is fast. Since Huichuan has reached this stage, it will probably expand the scale of clinical trials soon, or even launch it on a small scale? By then, Lulu and other patients like her will have the opportunity to be treated."
Duan Yunhong said: "I thought you would ask me if I could still cut in line and arrange for someone to go in now."
"No need. Lulu's condition is under control now, much better than many other patients. She can wait." Chen Yikun shook his head. "The most important thing I learned after coming here is to be content and not greedy. Although Lulu missed the clinical trial of Huichuan, that's because we met earlier and we both have a better life. There's nothing to regret."
These words almost clearly stated that as a time traveler, he was very satisfied with the current situation and did not want to accept Duan Yunhong's provocation at all. Even the knowledgeable Duan Yunhong found it rare to see a time traveler who was trained to be so content with the status quo. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Yu Zhou really had the ability to control people, so that even if the time traveler was faced with something he really wanted, he could refuse it decisively.
"Actually, you don't have to be so wary of me."
Duan Yunhong noticed and responded quickly, and he changed the topic in an instant: "I am no longer interested in you and your family, and my goal has nothing to do with this. As for the drug experiment, I just suddenly remembered it and told you about it. As for what you want to do, it has nothing to do with me."
Chen Yikun had no idea that these big guys were betting on "saving the world", he just thought Duan Yunhong's words were strange. After all, if he wasn't interested in me, why would he come to me specifically? He also specifically mentioned his adopted daughter Lulu, and it was obvious that he had bad intentions.
——No, I have to pay more attention to Lulu’s safety...
Duan Yunhong didn't know that he had been labeled as "having ill intentions". Seeing that Chen Yikun was silent, he was about to say something else. Just at this moment, there was a knock on the conference room door. Without waiting for Duan Yunhong and Chen Yikun to say "Come in", the door was opened.
The one who came was Yu Zhou.
"Director Duan, are you done with the tour?" Yu Zhouyuan said as he walked in and closed the door with his hands behind his back. "What are you talking about with Professor Chen? Can I listen?"
Duan Yunhong glanced at Chen Yikun and could tell from the other party's relaxed expression that Yu Zhou was the reinforcement he had called for. No wonder he kept checking his phone during the chat; it turned out he was sending a message for help to Yu Zhou, waiting for a reply.
However, Yu Zhou didn't seem to be busy and actually came in person.
"Let's talk about some academic topics. Minister Yu is also interested in these?" Duan Yunhong leaned back in his chair, hinting, "But we have almost finished talking. If Minister Yu wants to talk, he can talk to Professor Chen alone."
"I will have plenty of opportunities to chat with Professor Chen in the future." Yu Zhou smiled, stood beside the table, and stared at him from above. "Director Duan, would you mind having a chat?"
Duan Yunhong didn't know what he wanted to talk about, but it was definitely not good news, so he found a random excuse and said, "Now? Forget it now. I may be a little uncomfortable with the climate here. I didn't sleep well last night. Now I feel a little tired. I want to go back and rest."
After hearing this, Yu Zhou was too lazy to complain. Will the “Lucky Bandit” be unable to adapt to the local climate? Yu Zhou even found this a joke and found it boring.
"It's just about noon, why are you so anxious and sleepy, Director Duan?" Yu Zhou said, as if he remembered something, walked to the row of sample display racks, picked up a red packaging box and looked at it carefully. Then, he took out a small bottle the size of a palm from the box, walked back and placed it in front of Duan Yunhong.
"It just so happens that we recently launched a new product that is used for people with deficiency of Qi and blood, physical weakness, lack of energy, insomnia and forgetfulness. Director Duan, would you like to try it?"
Duan Yunhong didn't even glance at it: "Minister Yu is so polite. I won't waste the precious samples that your center has worked so hard to develop."
Chen Yikun recognized the packaging box from a distance and interrupted, "This oral liquid was not developed with much effort, but was a byproduct of our team. After we found that it was very useful for replenishing blood and boosting spirits, we launched a new product. Because it was a coincidence, the packaging is also simple and no one cares about it."
He was not a good liar, and Duan Yunhong could tell that he was telling the truth, but he didn't plan to drink it. As if seeing Duan Yunhong's intention, Yu Zhou picked up the bottle again and said, "I was negligent. There is no straw here. It is not convenient for Director Duan to drink."
As he spoke, I didn't know how he twisted his hands or how he applied force, but with a "pop" sound, the mouth of the bottle was actually broken off by him!
Chen Yikun: “…”
"Just pour it directly into your mouth. This amount is only enough for one mouthful." Yu Zhou handed it to Duan Yunhong again, "Director Duan, you don't think I want to poison you, do you? Is it that serious?"
Duan Yunhong finally had nothing to say. He took the bottle, drank it in one gulp, and then put the bottle on the table with a bang.
Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Now you are full of energy, right?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Chen Yikun made an excuse that he had to go back to work and slipped away. After the door of the conference room was closed again, Duan Yunhong asked the man standing next to him: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's talk about how long you want to bother us." Yu Zhou pulled out a chair at one end of the conference table and sat down, full of momentum, "And, what else do you want to do."
"How long I want to stay and what I want to do is none of your business." Duan Yunhong responded coldly, "If you have any objections, you can ask others to call you over anytime. Once you come, you will know what I am doing."
"I don't want to beat around the bush with you." Yu Zhou's tone also turned cold, and he crossed his arms and said, "Don't mention your crappy medicine to me again. This thing is just your excuse for coming here, right? Now Tianyue denies this matter, what else can you do? What excuse do you have to stay here? Don't you care about Huichuan's affairs?"
"Whether I manage Huichuan or not, and how I manage it, has nothing to do with you." Duan Yunhong said, "And you manage the heavens and the earth, manage Yue Fengping, manage Ning Fei, and manage everything about Tianyue, but you can't manage me."
Hearing that he still didn't get to the point, Yu Zhou sneered and asked directly, "Director Duan, are you here to chase Ning Fei?"
"Even if it is, so what?" Duan Yunhong did not deny it. "This was originally a bet between the two of us, but because of you, the balance was lost and the content of the bet was changed. I'm here to see the instigator, the situation of the time traveler and the new situation. Is there any problem?"
"Ha, if you want to get angry, of course I have no problem with that." Yu Zhou said jokingly, "But let me tell you in advance, if you lose, don't be unconvinced and pester Ning Fei to continue the competition. After this life, regardless of whether you win or lose, you must destroy Ning Fei's location marker."
Duan Yunhong said: "My bet with him has nothing to do with you."
"You sound like you're cheating." Yu Zhou sneered, "I'm his teacher, I'll intervene in this matter."
"Just the teacher?"
"otherwise?"
"Otherwise——" Duan Yunhong suddenly asked, "Have you talked about it before?"
"...Tsk." Yu Zhou was silent for two seconds, then narrowed his eyes slightly. "Don't let your imagination run wild. Duan Yunhong, how could I possibly fall in love with him? He's a debt collector, my colleague, my student, and an immortal. I won't fall in love with an immortal."
Duan Yunhong looked at him with a firm tone.
"That means he likes you."
