He looked at her amusedly. "Didn't someone say they wanted to invite me to medical school?"
"Huh? You saw it?" She did send him a WeChat message last night, but he didn't reply, so she thought he hadn't seen it.
He smiled and said, "You can reduce the amount of long, rambling reports in the future. I will read them all, but they are too long and time-consuming. Next time, just call me directly."
She felt a little guilty, as if he had noticed her perfunctory attitude.
She chuckled dryly, "Okay, as long as you don't mind me disturbing your 'work'."
Grandpa Xia watched the two of them go back and forth, and it looked to him like a couple arguing. He coughed and interrupted them, saying, "Let's eat first."
He was an experienced man and keenly sensed the change in Lu Yan's attitude towards Xia Yixin, while his foolish granddaughter probably hadn't noticed yet.
Grandpa Xia's intuition was right. In the past month, besides reorganizing his team, Lu Yan had also suddenly realized something. He might have used to treat her as a pawn, but now he had changed his mind and suddenly felt that having another woman in his life was not a bad choice.
He had no goals in life other than revenge, except for one person. Now that she had entered his life, he would never let her go.
It was precisely because of the change in her future positioning that he needed to make many changes to his later preparations, which took some time.
Of all the breakfasts, Xia Yixin was probably the only one who ate without any worries.
Before leaving with Lu Yan, she reminded Grandpa Xia not to forget to eat lunch, as she guessed that he would definitely be having lunch with the medical school and Professor Hao's people.
It wasn't until she entered the Capital Medical College that Xia Yixin realized what popularity truly meant.
It's not her popularity, it's Lu Yan's popularity.
He is so talented that it's easy to forget that he's only 25 years old. He's the undisputed heartthrob and god of the medical school.
From afar, she saw Professor Hao waiting at the entrance of the medical building with his research team. The team members were all in their twenties on average, and their faces were full of anticipation and excitement.
She had just informed Professor Hao and the others not long ago, and one of the round-faced girls had the reddest cheeks and was looking at them with the most intense gaze.
Professor Hao walked over quickly.
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher," Lu Yan said earnestly to Professor Hao.
Professor Hao knew what the other person was referring to, and shook his head. "My greatest reward would be if the drug could be safely developed."
Xia Yixin watched the scene of the master and disciple appreciating each other and felt it was a bit surreal. She guessed that even if Professor Hao knew that Lu Yan was actually using him as a pawn, he probably wouldn't believe it.
Thinking about it this way, she felt a chill run down her spine. Perhaps this was the villain's power: you're being sold out and you're still helping him count the money...
The dean of the medical school personally greeted them, and as they entered the school, many students came to inquire.
"It's Xia Yixin, my goddess!"
"Ah, isn't that Professor Lu? He hasn't been back for over half a year, it really is him!"
"It's Professor Lu, the campus heartthrob!"
Amidst the excited chatter of the surrounding students, the group entered the medical building. The school security guards, who were already prepared, immediately stopped other unrelated students. Of course, Long Wu and his group also stayed outside. The imposing man in black was secretly photographed by many students and posted online.
Photos of Lu Yan appeared online like mushrooms after rain. Because Lu Yan was previously perceived by netizens as a "pretty boy," most of the attention was on Xia Yixin, with everyone speculating about what Xia's next outrageous move would be.
The medical building was very quiet and filled with the atmosphere of academic research. Disinfection was required to enter the research rooms, and men and women were naturally separated.
During this time, the dean also told Xia Yixin that Lu Yan was able to become a professor because he gave up the nine patents he had developed since entering the school and donated them to the medical school free of charge. As a result, Huaxia Medical College has frequently appeared in international journals in recent years, and the school's reputation has surpassed that of Qinghua and Beida.
Only the research team knows the truth, which is why the outside world still doesn't know Lu Yan's abilities.
But this time, neither Dean Quan nor Professor Hao will accept the attribution for RP3.
Because this is an anti-cancer drug! It's enough to open up new possibilities for humanity, not to mention that it's not just RP3, but also has many derivative products.
After a period of recuperation, and with the successful production of RP3, Professor Hao had a healthy rosy complexion. Wearing protective gloves, he took out a semi-transparent liquid protective chamber from the low-temperature container, which contained a green half-tube of solution.
"This is the finished product, RP3. We've done experiments, and it can perfectly kill 99% of cancers in the human body and naturally expel them. It's absolutely a miracle in medical history. Moreover, it's the first gene therapy drug, and its derivatives have other medicinal values. We've discovered over 100 possible therapeutic pathways. You could say it's a highly comprehensive system!" Professor Hao's gaze was almost frenzied. He turned to look at Lu Yan, his voice trembling with excitement, "Lu Yan, you are absolutely worthy of being etched into human history! I've already discussed it with the dean, and this time I absolutely will not allow you to remove his name from the research group. This is the honor he deserves!"
Lu Yan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Xia Yixin, who had silently withdrawn from the "battle," and asked, "What do you mean?"
"?" Xia Yixin, who was inexplicably called on, had the illusion of being called on by the teacher in class. However, she quickly calmed down and said the idea she had prepared in her heart: "I support Professor Hao and the dean's idea. Moreover, I think the research report of RP3 should be submitted to the Nobel Prize in Medicine for evaluation. It is the most perfect anti-cancer drug so far and should receive the honor it deserves!"
Xia Yixin's impassioned words made everyone in the lab's eyes light up with excitement, except for Lu Yan.
He said slowly and deliberately, "Okay, I'll listen to her."
The others remained silent. Why did his words, though seemingly innocent, sound so ambiguous to them? She always felt he was doing it on purpose.
With Lu Yan's approval, Professor Hao almost couldn't wait and headed straight to the Nobel Prize awarding institution abroad, even temporarily canceling his planned lunch.
Before they left, the dean asked meaningfully, "When will we be able to attend your wedding?"
She was about to refuse when Lu Yan replied with a beaming smile, "It won't be long; we'll let you know when the time comes."
Xia Yixin looked at the man suspiciously. Why did he seem to be addicted to acting lately?
Among those who came out to see him off were members of the research team. The round-faced little girl in the team followed Lu Yan's retreating figure until he was out of sight.
To avoid attracting attention, the two quickly left the school and found a restaurant for lunch. It was a Michelin-starred restaurant with a very unique owner who didn't have private rooms. Everyone had to dine in, and it was two people per table, but the decor was very tasteful.
There weren't many people here at lunchtime, and since they chose a corner, they weren't recognized for a while.
The meal was served.
Perhaps it was because her gaze seemed too hesitant, Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"
