Lan Mulan was also stunned. With the high salary Chu Yu gave her and being in such an advanced laboratory, she would be letting Chu Yu down if she didn't make some achievements.
Wang Cainian left her job at the university, and the handover process took a long time. She initially felt a sense of betrayal, feeling that she had come from a low-paying job and was now receiving a high salary from an outside company, and that she could no longer dedicate herself to the country.
To everyone's surprise, when the leaders learned of her resignation, they showed no reaction whatsoever. Not only did they not try to retain her, they even made sarcastic remarks, saying that she had not achieved anything over the years, that she was wasting the school's money, that her projects were meaningless, and that Wang Cainian was worthless!
Wang Cainian's sense of guilt vanished instantly. She sneered and strode away!
Chu Yu is right, intellectuals don't have to be poor!
She works for whoever respects her, and she'll risk her life for whoever pays her the most!
Wang Cainian has been poor for half her life, it's time for her to hold her head high!
And so, Mandarin Company had a second research lab. The arrival of two experts, Liu Mingchuan and Wang Cainian, gave Chu Yu hope for hyaluronic acid, yeast, and recombinant collagen!
In addition, Chu Yu also brought in a group of researchers with master's and doctoral degrees. She hopes that this fresh blood, along with the huge investment in research, will bring truly competitive components to Mandarin.
Chu Yu introduced the company's products to Wang Cainian and the new staff, and gave each of them a set to try.
"If we want to develop skincare products that surpass top-tier brands, we must put more effort into research and development. Currently, our main ingredients are hyaluronic acid and yeast, which are key components of Mandarin. In the future, we will develop recombinant collagen, develop truly effective sunscreens, and develop some new and unknown anti-wrinkle ingredients. This is our company's goal, and it is also the common goal of all our staff."
Wang Cainian tried Mandarin's products and had to say that all of Mandarin's products have a very light texture and are easily absorbed.
The Light & Moisturizing series is more hydrating, while the Time Series is relatively thicker, but both are equally easy to absorb.
"Chu Yu, what kind of product is this?"
"This is a topical hyaluronic acid product, similar to a serum. According to our experimental data analysis, topical hyaluronic acid can effectively moisturize and reduce wrinkles."
"Did Liu Mingchuan make all of these?"
Chu Yu nodded, "It was all Professor Liu's doing. You could say that Professor Liu laid the foundation for Mandarin. Without Professor Liu, there would be no Mandarin. But the future of Mandarin will still be shaped by everyone together."
Liu Mingchuan is a well-known chemical genius, and Wang Cainian had heard of him before. However, she usually focused on her research and rarely socialized, so she had no interaction with Liu Mingchuan. Now that she has come to Mandarin, she has discovered that this person lives up to his reputation and is truly knowledgeable.
They are a million times better than those university professors who only know how to engage in empty talk and steal students' research results!
"Professor Liu is really amazing. Hyaluronic acid is not an easy ingredient to research. The fact that he was able to do it makes me feel ashamed," Wang Cainian said.
“Professor Wang, don’t belittle yourself. You and Professor Liu are both pillars of Mandarin. Although we have many researchers at Mandarin, the other researchers are used to make products, such as developing sunscreens, skincare, and makeup. Only you and your apprentice are researching an unknown ingredient. I know you have been researching this field for several years. As long as your persistence pays off, Mandarin will have the opportunity to upgrade again one day.”
Chu Yu was very eloquent. Her words affirmed Liu Mingchuan, praised Wang Cainian, and at the same time gave Wang Cainian a strange sense of agreement.
Wang Cainian never expected that she would have such abilities at such a young age.
"Actually, when I was doing experiments many years ago, I accidentally discovered an ingredient that could effectively block UVA rays. Now that I think about it, this ingredient can prevent photoaging of the skin, which is exactly what sunscreen needs."
Chu Yu: ...
Chu Yu was stunned, unable to believe what she had heard.
"Professor Wang, are you sure it's an ingredient that can protect against UVA?"
Wang Cainian pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, this is something I discovered by chance when I was doing an experiment many years ago. At the time, I casually jotted it down in my notebook. After all, this is not my research direction, and back then, there was no concept of sunscreen in China, let alone a demand for it. So, I put this research aside."
A few years ago, people couldn't even get enough to eat, so the only things they applied to their faces were baby cream and clam oil.
There aren't many major cosmetic brands in China. People are lucky if they can wear a straw hat when harvesting wheat, and they don't really have any concept of sun protection.
With no market, no demand, and the country's borders still closed, what use was her research on sunscreen ingredients? At the time, Wang Cainian's superiors were not interested in this matter and felt it was of no value, but this kind of broad-spectrum sunscreen ingredient could indeed resist ultraviolet rays.
Chu Yu's claim of being unhappy was a lie.
Liu Mingchuan is a rough man. He doesn't understand the importance of sun protection for women. He only studies the ingredients but is unwilling to put more effort into the product.
Developing effective sunscreen ingredients is no easy task.
Even the world's top brands only have a few sunscreens, products that have been developed over many years. Mandarin has been established for less than a year, how could they possibly have developed such products?
She doesn't ask for much; she just wants it to be researched and developed in the next five or ten years.
Who would have thought that Wang Cainian had already figured it out long ago.
"What are its ingredients?" Chu Yu asked, her face full of curiosity.
"I haven't named it yet. I'll go back and get my notebook to check the research procedure I used to study and see how to extract this component again. If things go smoothly, I'll have results in a day. If things go slowly, and there are errors in the notes, it may take some more time."
