After all, her current job is a piece of cake for someone at her level.

Originally, she planned to return to her hometown and work in a medical-related research institute, and she had already prepared her resume.

It's not that she doesn't want to stay in the big city, it's just that the consumption level here is too high. For someone like her who has just graduated and has no background, the salary is not too high, and buying a house here is even more of a luxury.

When Chen Xu found her, she immediately realized that this was an opportunity to change her destiny and decided to take a gamble. If it really didn't work out, it wouldn't be too late to return to her hometown.

Before she signed the contract, she consulted a lawyer. There were many harsh terms, which were no different from a contract of selling one's body. However, she felt that no matter how hard she worked, she might not be able to get the annual salary after ten years. Moreover, the salary was increasing year by year, which she really could not refuse.

If she can keep this job, she will be able to buy a house in the city center within ten years, provided that the house price does not double or triple.

Therefore, she cherished this job very much. Unlike Cai Weiye who didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, she put almost all her energy into the laboratory. She even gave up her only interest.

"How's the latest progress?" Chen Xu could sense her awkwardness and changed the subject.

Yang Qingqing replied, "There has been no progress yet."

"This is normal. It's not easy to do basic research. I have enough patience." Chen Xu learned from Secretary Jin that Yang Qingqing worked very hard. She was the first one to come to the laboratory and the last one to leave every day. She wished she could live here.

He felt the need to relieve her stress.

Yang Qingqing knew he was right, but how could she relax? With her level and qualifications, she could not get such a high salary anywhere. In other words, she was very uneasy. Even if she had not achieved any results, she would work hard to justify the salary.

She reported to him quietly about the recent progress.

Since the establishment of the laboratory, it has been conducting research around a project. This project was naturally formulated by Chen Xu himself, which is to study cancer cells.

In the last Star Game, humans have conquered almost all terminal diseases. The same is true for cancer, but the technological level of the Earth is far from that level, and we still have to climb the relevant technology tree step by step.

Of course, although he cannot completely solve the problem of cancer, he can come up with some drugs for treatment.

He knew the effective ingredients of these drugs and knew how to make them, but he couldn't just publish them directly. He had to at least pretend that there was a discovery process so that others would know. Only then could he publish them legitimately, register a patent, and publish a paper.

This process is very important. According to his plan, the effective ingredient should be found in about half a year. However, with Yang Qingqing's efforts, it is very likely that this time can be shortened to four months.

Calculating the time, it’s almost time.

Chen Xu chatted in the office for a while, and then walked around the laboratory. After the patent license was sold, he also purchased a batch of experimental equipment, and through Yang Jinxia's relationship, he bought second-hand equipment, which was much cheaper than new ones.

In this laboratory, he spent several times more money than in the battery laboratory.

To him, the battery lab is purely about making money, but the medical lab is different, and he takes it very seriously.

He has a very good physical condition, so even when he gets old, he will not have any problems like diseases. But he has relatives and friends, and his parents are not young anymore. What if they get sick in the future? Therefore, he must prepare for the rainy day.

Both his parents have a little high blood pressure, which is under control now, but may become a problem in the future. However, the issue of high blood pressure is too complicated to be handled by this small laboratory.

He needs to earn more money, set up a research center, and cooperate with large hospitals to carry out joint research before he can produce corresponding results.

Otherwise, even if he produces a paper, without clinical cases to prove it, no journal will pay attention to it when submitting it.

The prerequisite for achieving all this, in addition to money, is to have enough fame.

Chen Xu walked around the laboratory and had a better understanding of their work. He left without staying for long.

"Mr. Chen, where are we going next?"

After getting in the car, the driver asked.

Chen Xu glanced at the sky and said, "Let's go to Yunxu."

It was getting late. The data center was a little far away, so it would take quite some time to get there. The same was true for the flash memory chip manufacturing company, with Yunxu being the closest.

Although Luo Xiyun is not in the company, there must be someone staying behind to see how they are progressing.

In less than half an hour, we arrived at Yunxu Company.

"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?"

When Chen Xu went up to the floor and came to the front desk, he was stopped. He had never seen the two receptionists before. He did not embarrass them and directly called inside.

In less than two minutes, the head of the product department came out and said, "Mr. Chen, why didn't you tell me you were coming? They are all new here and don't recognize you. Please don't be offended."

When the two receptionists heard this, they realized that they had stopped the company's senior management and apologized in panic.

"It's okay. Ignorance is not a crime." Chen Xu waved his hand and followed the supervisor inside.

The two receptionists breathed a sigh of relief and started gossiping quietly.

Among them, Taijia had just arrived a few days ago and asked quietly, "Who is this Mr. Chen?"

Receptionist B came a few days earlier and knew more gossip, "You don't know, this is Mr. Luo's boyfriend, he also has shares in the company."

"So that's how it is." A suddenly realized, "Why haven't I seen him here before?"

"He has other businesses, like batteries, invented some patents, and made tens of billions."

"No way? So amazing?"

"If he wasn't great, would Mr. Luo be interested in him?" B whispered, "Do you know Mr. Luo's background?"

"have no idea."

"Have you heard of the Tianluo Group?"

"Of course I've heard of it. It's a real estate group. I have a relative who works there."

"Our CEO Luo is the daughter of the CEO of Tianluo Group."

"Shhh—No wonder Mr. Luo started a company at such a young age."
