Shen Jun said coldly, "What kind of shop I run and how much money I make is none of your business. If you dare to come here and cause trouble again, don't blame me for calling the police."
Yao Qin was a little scared. "Mom, we're mother and daughter. How can a mother and daughter hold a grudge overnight? I already regret it, really. After I went back to my hometown, my biological parents treated me very badly. They only asked me to come back so they could build a house for my brother. They swindled all my money from me, and now I'm living a miserable life. Mom, I still have two children to support. Please, have mercy and let me stay!"
Shen Jun pushed her out the door with a stern face, "You deserve it! You deserve to live this kind of life!"
"Mom, how could you say such a thing?"
"Am I wrong? You have only yourself to blame for living like this. You sleep with men all the time, and if you do that, you end up with a child every few days. If you don't value yourself, why would anyone else? You stole my money to support your family, and when you got swindled out of it, you came to me. What, do you look like a sucker to me?"
Shen Jun's retort was merciless.
Yao Qin was furious and was about to yell back when Chu Yu splashed a bucket of water on her!
In early April, the temperature in Beijing was not high, and Yao Qin was shivering from the cold. "Who are you! Look what you've done to me!"
"Oh! I'm so sorry, young lady," Chu Yu laughed, "This is Chu Jiali's doorstep. I can splash water on whoever I want. If you don't want to get splashed, get lost. Otherwise, next time it won't be as simple as just splashing water!"
Yao Qin was furious. She hadn't walked far from Chu Jiali when her parents stopped her.
"How so?"
"What can I say? Look at the mess I got!" Yao Qin was furious. Zou Minzhao was so ungrateful. She came to work for free and watch the shop for Zou Minzhao, and she had someone splash water on her.
Yao Qin's biological mother frowned and said, "Are you stupid? You shouldn't have come even if she kicked you out. I've asked around, and this restaurant is doing very well, making tens of thousands of yuan a day! If you manage the accounts for her, you can steal a few dozen yuan a day without her noticing. Besides, she doesn't have any children of her own. You two have an adoption relationship, so when she dies, all her property will be yours!"
“That’s right. If you can stay, you can get your brother, your older brother, and your sister-in-law to work here. These restaurants pay a lot and have little work. With you protecting them, your brother and older brother can get paid without working. Then we can take over her shop.”
Yao Qin felt a little embarrassed. Even if she really wanted to renege on her promise, she couldn't just say it out loud.
The Mandarin cosmetics factory has been completed. The decoration is very simple; it's basically just leveling the floor, plastering the walls, and moving in office and laboratory equipment. The company can then operate normally.
Chu Yu hired a batch of new employees and also recruited a group of professional master's and doctoral students for Liu Mingchuan's laboratory.
But Liu Mingchuan refused, saying that the value of people lies in their quantity, not their quality.
Chu Yu had no choice but to set up a new laboratory for this group of doctoral and master's students and find a biochemical drug expert who studied collagen components.
The medical program at Beijing University of Technology is among the best in the country, and on weekends, groups of students can be seen walking around the campus.
Chu Yu stood at the library entrance and saw a girl walking towards him carrying a blue denim bag.
She was tall and slender with fair skin. She wore black-framed glasses and her hair was slightly messy, giving her a somewhat unkempt appearance.
"Miss Lan?" Chu Yu greeted her with a smile.
Lan Mulan was somewhat surprised. Mandarin Cosmetics was a well-known brand. When she received the job offer from Mandarin, she thought they had the wrong person. Her resume was not outstanding, her teacher was not famous, and the project her teacher was researching was even more obscure.
She didn't even have any work experience, so why would a company as big as Mandarin hire her?
"President Zhou?" Lan Mulan came back to her senses and shook hands with Chu Yu with a smile.
"Just call me Chu Yu. I'm still studying and I'm a few years younger than you."
"Really?" Lan Mulan asked in surprise. "Which school do you attend?"
"Tsinghua University, Computer Science major."
Lan Mulan never expected that Chu Yu would establish such a large company at such a young age. She thought that Chu Yu was the genius that everyone talked about, the kind of person who became famous at a young age and could easily do great things without having to do anything.
The two walked to the library together and found a quiet spot to talk.
“Ms. Lan, our company called you. I’ll get straight to the point. We at Mandarin are hiring, and I’m very interested in the research project you and I are working on. To be honest, I’ve thought about talking to your professor, Wang Cainian, but she’s a stubborn person, and I’m not sure if I can persuade her. So I wanted to talk to you first.”
Lan Mulan was a little nervous. The fact that she was contacting other companies behind her teacher's back made her feel betrayed.
"Chu Yu, do you know my teacher and our research? To be honest, she is an amazing person. Back then, she and her students squeezed into a small laboratory. With only 5,000 yuan in research start-up funding, 2,000 yuan in settling-in allowance, and a monthly salary of a few dozen yuan, she managed to get this project started."
Lan Mulan is Wang Cainian's student, and Wang Cainian is the first person in China to study collagen.
Back then, Wang Cainian was conducting research in a university laboratory.
Research requires funding, but Wang Cainian had no funding, so she often paid for the work out of her own pocket.
The path of scientific research is difficult; there is no direction, no guiding light, and you have to forge your own way.
Wang Cainian faces failures every day, but she never gets discouraged and dedicates herself to the research of recombinant collagen with several apprentices.
Wang Cai Nian has conviction, but her students cannot live solely on conviction.
