Sheng Lao Si didn't go to the research institute; he waited specifically for Xing He.
Upon seeing Xinghe, he took a long stride and walked up to Xinghe, blocking her path.
Xinghe: ?
To be fair, the Sheng brothers are all handsome in their own way.
Sheng Lao Si had narrow, elongated eyes, and his hair was longer than his brothers', with stray hairs falling behind his ears. Standing there, he was a perfect walking clothes hanger.
"I already guessed it, you've also joined a department in the Dragon Kingdom." Sheng Lao Si thought carefully for a moment, "It's the Information Department, isn't it?"
Xinghe looked up at him and said, "That's ridiculous."
"I know I can't talk about it because of the confidentiality agreement, but we're colleagues, so we all know."
"Did you eat too much salt this morning? Are you bored?"
Sheng Lao Si tried to get closer to him, but failed.
He then spoke seriously, "I'd like to discuss the procurement of An Shen Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine for calming the nerves) with you."
Xinghe was startled and clutched his pocket. "What are you trying to do? I just gave you a bottle last time, and you've already used it all up?"
She knew it wouldn't be good to run into these brothers!
She lost several thousand yuan on airfare, food, and accommodation with Sheng Lao Er, while she received a high price for An Shen Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) from Sheng Lao Si. To repay the karmic debt, she didn't take a penny and donated it all.
Therefore, she was actually losing money on the cost of the tranquilizer pills!
She now has less than three digits in total, and she can barely afford the ingredients for calming pills!
“Our research institute needs to purchase a large quantity of An Shen Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine), but the quantity each time is too small. I would like to discuss this cooperation with you. We can provide the necessary raw materials.”
"Not for sale." Xinghe refused without even thinking.
"Why? We will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
Xinghe: "How about this reason: I don't like you, and I don't want to discuss cooperation with you?"
She didn't like these brothers and Sheng Yue at all, and the only reason she didn't bother them was because she was too busy; these people weren't even on her list.
Sheng Lao Si's face turned cold, and his narrow eyes sharpened slightly. "This research is of great importance. The research institute has the right to mobilize resources from all departments."
Xinghe lowered his hand from the drink and leaned against the refrigerator, somewhat amused. "Trying to pressure me with this? You want me to hand over the tranquilizer?"
"I think you were born a cucumber but turned into a walnut later in life."
Sheng Lao Si frowned. "What do you mean?"
"It deserves both a slap and a hammer."
“Xinghe, I’m not kidding you. If this deal is done, it will benefit both of us, especially since you’ve just joined the department. I don’t want to end up negotiating with the research institute and the network department.”
"When we really get to that point, many things will be beyond our control."
Xinghe laughed in exasperation, "How come the garbage collectors left you behind?"
"You really do encounter all sorts of oddballs when you live long enough. It has to be you, Sheng Laosi, who even makes robbery a real-name registration."
"What am I doing—"
With a single punch from Xinghe, Sheng Laosi fell to the ground.
Xinghe took the opportunity to kick twice more.
"If there's a next time, I'll blow your head off. Try it if you want to die."
Jin Tong was so angry that he stomped on Sheng Lao Si twice. "Pah, shameless, you even tried to steal my sister's things."
"My sister can give it to whomever she wants, and if she doesn't want to give it to anyone, no one can take it away from her."
"Shameless scoundrel!"
Sheng Lao Si stood up, his face covered in bruises. Xing He was the first person to ever hit him in his life.
He couldn't understand why Xinghe was unwilling.
This is clearly a win-win-win situation.
Research is urgently needed. The first batch of clinical patients are currently using the medication, and they will need one or two more courses of treatment. In any case, they need to get the tranquilizing pills.
He raised his concerns with the research institute and indicated that the money could come from his own private account.
Xinghe likes money, and he's willing to buy one for 200,000. Shouldn't that satisfy Xinghe?
The aura of the Milky Way comes quickly and goes quickly.
She knew that Sheng Lao Si also wanted to help those with congenital intellectual disabilities.
If someone else had spoken to her, she would have agreed. But Sheng Laosi's attitude was simply unbearable for her.
You want to use your power to intimidate people? Then bring it on.
Xinghe called Jiang Sinian, "Brother Jiang, I want to ask, is the First Research Institute of China of China of a higher level, or ours?"
“I have said that in the realm of the unnatural, you have the highest decision-making authority.”
"What about the natural realm?"
"You have the authority to mobilize all departments, and the First Research Institute of the Dragon Kingdom is within your purview."
Jiang Sinian paused and then added, "As long as it doesn't threaten the security of the Dragon Kingdom, your rights are equivalent to those of the top leader. You and the remaining teammates are collectively referred to as the 'top leader' within the department."
Okay, Xinghe is having a great time.
"I want to go to the First Research Institute of China now."
"I'll have someone arrange it right away."
Jiang Sinian hung up the phone, and soon a black Hongqi sedan pulled up in front of the Sheng family's house, its purple license plate blatantly arrogant.
Xinghe boarded the car heading to the research institute.

Sheng Laosi's application was rejected.
Sheng Laosi was puzzled. He went to the director of the research institute and said, "Director, why was this application rejected? The clinical trial has reached Phase I, and most patients have shown significant improvement. Phase II requires a large number of cases to support it, and we need a lot of tranquilizers."
"Moreover, we can provide the raw materials, and we don't need the formula from the network department. The price is also quite high. I don't understand why it's not approved."
Sheng Lao Si frowned in confusion, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
"I'm puzzled too. It was rejected less than an hour after I submitted it."
The institute director pointed to the seal on the document, "And do you see? This was a decision made directly by the highest level."
"Why?" Sheng Laosi was very unwilling. "I want to find them and get to the bottom of this."
He suspected that the problem still lay with Xinghe. How could Xinghe be so willful in such a matter of life and death?
She's definitely a child who grew up in the mountains and fields; she can't compare to Yueyue.
Yueyue would never be so clueless about such an important matter.
Before Sheng Lao Si could even go to the highest level, the director of the research institute received a phone call.
After hanging up the phone, the director of the research institute was extremely anxious.
"Quickly, quickly, someone from the highest level is coming to inspect our work soon. Tell them all to perk up and organize their research findings."
"You too, don't mention the tranquilizer pills yet, focus on finishing your work first."
The research institute director tugged at his clothes. "Is there anything wrong with my clothes?"
He looked in the mirror and straightened his clothes again. "That's the most mysterious top level. The top level rarely appears in front of the public. I wonder what they're here for this time."
Sheng Lao Si asked with slight doubt, "The highest level?"
"I've only heard that such an organization exists and that it has the highest level of authority, but we don't know exactly how many people there are or what their names are. Internally, we all refer to them as the highest level."
"The person who just called said that it's a very important person from the highest level coming. You should dress smartly and make a good impression on our research institute."
