Lin Dan quickly adapted to the new environment. Not long after entering the school, she submitted her research report to Dr. Darren. She had always wanted to cure Aunt Xue's illness, but many of the ingredients in the prescriptions called "Da Zao Wan" and "Butian Wan" stored in her mind had become extinct. So, even though she knew that Aunt Xue's illness was theoretically curable, there was no hope in reality.
These two prescriptions are very effective in treating terminal illnesses and aging diseases. If they are successfully researched, they will definitely bring benefits to people all over the world. What Lin Dan has to do now is to find substitutes for those extinct medicinal materials and restore the prescription. However, there are tens of thousands of species of animals and plants in the world, and she has to find and test them one by one, and the time it will take is unknown. If she is lucky enough, she may be able to achieve results in five or six years. Otherwise, she will never be able to achieve her goal in her entire life.
Dr. Darren showed great interest in her research topic. He not only allocated a laboratory for her but also prepared to cooperate with her. But the most serious problem they face is not the difficulty of the scientific research projects, but the lack of scientific research funds.
Looking at the densely packed budget table and then at the account balance of the institute, Darren said with a smile: "Dear, do you regret donating your property now? We are now penniless."
Lin Dan shook her head and said, "No regrets." After passing the interview, she donated her remaining property to the World Child Protection Organization, leaving her with nothing.
Darren expected her to say that, and felt a little amused, but mostly appreciative.
Lin Dan picked up the budget sheet and asked, "Doctor, what research can make the most money right now?"
Darren pondered and said, "Cosmetics are not like medicines that need to go through repeated clinical trials. As long as they do not contain ingredients that are harmful to the human body, they can quickly enter the sales channel."
"Then let's make some cosmetics first." Lin Dan decided.
Darren was noncommittal. The entry threshold for the cosmetics industry is indeed very low, but it is difficult to achieve excellent results and accumulate wealth in a short period of time because the competition in this industry is too fierce. But forget it, Lin's eyes are so bright, why should he pour cold water on her.
However, that afternoon, this poor research institute received two huge grants, one from Zeng Zhenyuan and the other from Han Xu. The agents of the two also stated that every year in the future, as long as their boss did not go bankrupt, he would continue to fund Ms. Lin's research, and she would not be required to submit scientific research reports at all.
Lin Dan believed that his research would bring huge commercial profits to Zeng Zhenyuan and Han Xu, so he accepted it. That night, she received a text message on her mobile phone. When she opened it, she found that it was Aunt Xue who transferred five million yuan to her original account and told her to take good care of herself while abroad.
In the past, Aunt Xue's five million would have been nothing, but now, this was probably all the working capital of the Wang family. Aunt Xue might have also learned that he was short of money, so she did her best to help. Lin Dan stared at the text message and felt very warm in her heart.
…………
At the same time, Wang Jun was driving Wang Zhaokun back to the sanatorium. They had just attended a business cocktail party and were dressed very formally. Ouyang Xue was sitting in the back seat, also wearing a luxurious evening gown. The car drove slowly up the mountain road. Xue Yao stood at the door waiting accompanied by a nurse.
"I transferred all the money in the account to Dandan. She has established a research institute in the United States and is in urgent need of money right now." After returning to the room, Xue Yao said to her husband.
Wang Zhaokun didn't even blink, and said thoughtfully: "Five million RMB is not a lot when converted into US dollars. It shouldn't be enough for Xiao Dan, right? I'll go find an old friend in a few days to think of a solution."
This money was the couple's life savings. They had refused when Wang Jun wanted to borrow it to make ends meet. But now, they gave it all to Lin Dan without a second thought and were even preparing to borrow money from outside. Aren’t they too concerned about Lin Dan? Ouyang Xue lowered her eyes and looked at the rented dress she was wearing, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Wang Jun quickly said: "Dad, let me find a way."
"What does Xiaodan's matter have to do with you? Don't bother her." Wang Zhaokun scolded mercilessly, and then sighed: "Oh, I really regret not teaching you well."
Wang Jun lowered his head and said nothing. Didn't he regret it?
Ouyang Xue was extremely embarrassed. She quickly stood up and went to the kitchen to boil some water to make tea for the two elders, and also peeled a fruit plate.
Wang Zhaokun continued, "If Xiaodan hadn't helped you mediate with Zeng Zhenyuan, the ban on the US subsidiary wouldn't have been lifted so quickly. Now that we've paid the fine, we'll need a huge amount of financing to build the factory. A while ago, you were running around the world trying to attract investment, but no one paid any attention to you. But tonight, three investors came to you in a row. Do you know why?"
Wang Jun whispered, “Because Dandan sold the shares of Jinding Manufacturing to me, they know that I have the capital, so they are willing to cooperate with me.”
"That's one reason. Second, before Dandan left, she paid back the 30 million yuan salary in your name. People looked at her coldly and thought that you were a trustworthy person, and that's why they took the initiative to find you. What's the most important thing in business? Reputation is the most important. Look at Zeng Zhenyuan, he's such a successful person, who would be willing to cooperate with him? All his projects were obtained through plundering, because his reputation has long been bankrupt. If he has the ability to stay in a high position forever, that's fine. Once he fails, who would be willing to help him? Even if I'm bankrupt, I can still borrow tens of millions to support Jinding, relying on my character and reputation. Xiaodan is helping you accumulate virtue and establish your reputation, do you understand? When it comes to being a person, you are not as good as her in many ways."
Wang Jun nodded with red eyes: "I understand. She was also worried that you would not live well, so she returned the salary in the name of the Wang family. Those people dared to kill me, so they would naturally dare to hurt you. You are what she is most worried about."
Hearing this, Xue Yao couldn't hold it in any longer and started crying, covering her mouth. Wang Zhaokun quickly hugged her in his arms and patted her, murmuring, "Don't be sad. Xiaodan will be fine wherever she goes. We just need to watch over her from afar. Don't drag her down or tie her down."
"I feel so sorry for her. I feel guilty." Xue Yao choked up.
Wang Jun lowered his head, feeling extremely ashamed. Ouyang Xue placed hot tea and a fruit plate on the table and comforted the two elders with gentle words. But Wang Zhaokun and Xue Yao ignored her. Wang Jun stood up and poured two more glasses of water for his parents.
Ouyang Xue stared at the four glasses of water on the table and felt extremely insulted. Wang Zhaokun and Xue Yao would not scold her, but they would never pay any attention to her either. They refused to accept the gifts she gave them, and refused to eat the food she cooked. They simply treated her as a transparent person. This kind of disregard was more suffocating than any other argument. But what can she do? Apart from the Wang family, she had nowhere else to go.
What made her even more uneasy was that Wang Jun actually asked her to sign a prenuptial property agreement, which meant that whether they got married or divorced, she could not take a penny from Wang Jun. This behavior completely chilled her heart, and she simply didn't know how to move forward in the future...
But there is no limit to human resilience, especially women. Ouyang Xue originally thought that she would definitely not be able to tolerate the indifference of the Wang family, but she endured it for fifteen years, until Wang Zhaokun and Xue Yao both passed away, until her son grew up to be a handsome young man, and Wang Jun had become the most successful entrepreneur in China, with assets of over 100 billion yuan, ranking among the top 20 on the global rich list. Second only to him was Han Xu.
In recent years, Han Xu opened a beauty company. All products were developed by Lin Dan's research institute. As soon as they were launched, they became popular all over the world with their magical effects. Every woman dreams of owning a set of skin care products developed by Lin Dan, but is stopped by the high prices.
Ouyang Xue is not short of money, but she never buys Lin Dan's products. She was jealous of this woman, and it grew more and more as time went on. But Lin Dan was standing too high, so high that she couldn't reach him no matter how high she stepped, so she could only endure it.
Now she couldn't bear it any longer, and cried to Wang Jun who was lying on the hospital bed: "How could you make such a will? Lin Dan has plenty of money. She gets billions of dollars in dividends every year. If she doesn't donate the money, she will be richer than you! If you give her all the money, what will happen to me and my son? We are the ones who need your care the most! When my mother-in-law passed away, she left all her property to Lin Dan, and when my father-in-law passed away, he gave all his property to Lin Dan. Calculate how much money she took from the Wang family! Your whole family is crazy!"
Wang Jun had long been accustomed to her hysteria, so he turned a deaf ear to her words and continued to say to the lawyer: "Yes, donate all of them to Lin Dan's charity fund, including stocks, movables, immovables, and company dividends under my name, all of them." He recently fell seriously ill, so he had the idea of making a will.
"Are you sure you don't want to leave some for Mr. Wang?" the lawyer confirmed repeatedly.
"The growth fund I set up for him in his early years should be enough for him." Wang Jun looked at his son who was sitting in the corner, mature like a little adult, and said slowly: "Do you have any complaints about Dad doing this?"
The boy shook his head firmly: "No, grandpa and grandma taught me not to get something for nothing. If you have the ability, you will have everything in the future. Others are unreliable. Dad, I will study hard and start my own business like you and grandpa in the future."
"Very good." Wang Jun touched his son's head, his face full of relief. Ouyang Xue could do nothing but cry. He was afraid that she would teach her son bad things, so he sent her son to live with his parents when he was very young, and he did not relax his education of his son. Now fifteen years have passed, and my son has grown up very well.
"Dad did wrong things when he was young, and now he is atonement. Can you understand?" he continued to ask.
"I can understand. Grandma said, if it weren't for Dr. Lin, you would still be begging on the street now." The boy said honestly.
Wang Jun was not angry, but laughed: "Yes, if it weren't for Dr. Lin, I wouldn't be who I am today. She taught me how to grow up. Son, when you grow up and want to fall in love, you must make a careful choice. A girl's appearance and family background are not important. What is important is her character. Don't let superficial glitz blind you. Marry a good woman and you will be happy for the rest of your life."
As they were talking, the TV was broadcasting the footage of Lin Dan winning the Nobel Prize. She invented a drug that can treat terminal illnesses and aging diseases with a cure rate of 75%, making an outstanding contribution to all mankind. She raised the trophy to thank her mentor, friends, and students, and also especially thanked those who have been supporting her over the years, including Wang Jun. But her biggest regret was that this medicine was not invented before Yao Ma's death, even though she tried her best to catch up with time. Having said this, she kissed the trophy, her eyes filled with longing and tears.
Hearing his and his mother's names being mentioned by Lin Dan, Wang Jun sighed with satisfaction. His son stared at the TV without blinking, his face full of admiration.
Ouyang Xue was almost driven crazy by Lin Dan. Why was her life filled with the shadow of this woman? Zeng Zhenyuan loved her, Han Xu never married for her, and even Wang Jun was still obsessed with her, so why did he marry her back then? Thinking of this, Ouyang Xue also asked.
Wang Jun asked the lawyer to take his son away, then sneered: "Why? Because you took the trouble to protect me. If I am ungrateful and unwilling to take responsibility for you, I am afraid that Dandan will look down on me."
"You married me because you were afraid that Lin Dan would look down on you?" Ouyang Xue repeated this sentence in disbelief.
"What else?" Wang Jun closed his eyes tiredly.
Ouyang Xue sat down dejectedly on the sofa, trying hard to recall everything that happened that day. When the man stabbed Wang Jun with the knife, there was relief in his eyes and he was not afraid at all! He held her shoulders tightly and kept asking her why she did this, but there was no gratitude in his eyes, only the pain of being unable to struggle. At that time, Ouyang Xue thought she had finally melted his heart and gained his forgiveness and love, but it turned out that he didn't need her to save him at all! He would rather have been stabbed to death at that time!
This belated realization was like a heavy hammer, shattering all of Ouyang Xue's fantasies. She covered her face and cried and laughed, then she regretted her choice. If she could walk out as strongly as Lin Dan, instead of relying on these men, perhaps she would have a completely different life?
