Chapter 542 Three Royal Flushes! [1st Update]
They're here too?
Upon hearing this, everyone except Wen Fengmian exchanged puzzled glances.
Even Vice President Xu really didn't know who else could come and break the current situation.
Manuel!
In the international scientific community, there are very few people with his status and identity; you could count them on one hand.
Not to mention, the Manuel Laboratory, in conjunction with the two ancient financial magnates of O continent, Pazzi and Taylor, offered the Ji family such generous treatment.
How can this be saved?
The dean was also puzzled, but he still gave the order again: "Go open the door."
The door was immediately opened, and someone walked in.
The man, also of Western appearance, was not wearing a suit, but a white lab coat.
He was Herwin's assistant.
Unlike Manuel, Herwin did not particularly like to appear in public.
The project report meeting in June marked the first time he officially shared his project research with the world.
Even researchers, professors, and PhDs in the scientific community have only ever seen him in the news.
In addition, the experiments were kept extremely secret, and virtually no one ever saw Herwin's assistant.
Needless to say, the situation is even more dire in China.
"Ying Zijin, I told you, don't be so arrogant." Yan Ruoxue had naturally never seen him before. She raised her hand, tapped her fingers on the table, and scoffed, "You don't think that just because you found someone from O Continent, you can compare to Professor Manuel, do you?"
Did I think it was Herwin?
What a joke.
Having spent considerable time with the Manuel laboratory, she knew that Herwin was a complete science fanatic, indifferent to fame and fortune, and would never interfere in the Ji family's affairs.
But Duke's expression changed instantly; he was clearly shocked.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Professor Herwin's assistant." The assistant glanced at Yan Ruoxue with some surprise, then nodded to Ying Zijing. "As you all know, the professor's status is special, and he cannot come in person, so he only sent me. Please forgive him."
"..."
The English word Hervin is like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's ears with a "boom".
At this, not only the dean, but everyone attending the meeting stood up.
The dean's throat bobbed, and he spoke with some difficulty, "You mean, you're Professor Herwin's assistant?!"
The assistant smiled again: "But I've already connected with the professor and asked him to say hello to everyone."
He opened his laptop.
The dean's fingers trembled, and he immediately projected the video from the computer onto the big screen.
Everyone looked up and over there.
The video shows an elderly man in his fifties. Although wrinkles have appeared on his face, he is energetic and has a radiant appearance.
Vice Dean Xu's hand trembled. He took out his phone, searched for Herwin's photo, compared it, and then slumped into his chair, cursing out, "Damn it..."
He's blind!
The researchers waiting outside were also in complete turmoil.
"Professor Herwin! It really is Professor Herwin!"
"Exactly the same as in the photo!"
"Hello, friends of the Ji family." Herwin spoke in English, as he really couldn't learn Chinese. "I am Herwin Godolfen, and it's a pleasure to meet you all here."
"Ying Zijin is my business partner. I've never known what she wants. Since she needs me this time, I'll show my face to everyone."
"..."
The meeting room fell silent once again.
Even Wen Fengmian slowly looked at the girl.
Ying Zijing remained calm and raised an eyebrow at Herwin in the video: "Professor, stop joking."
“This isn’t a joke, it’s the truth,” Professor Herwin said seriously. “I’m actually quite happy to be able to help you this once.”
No amount of money can repay the kindness of saving my life.
The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Vice Dean Xu clutched his chest, wiping sweat from his brow with his other hand, and cursed again: "Damn it..."
Not to mention them, even professors from O continent would show Herwin respect.
Of course, whether they can actually meet is another matter.
And what about Ying Zijin?
Let's chat about everyday things here with Herwin.
Has the world exploded?!
Yan Ruoxue's body trembled, her eyes widened, and she simply refused to believe it.
Her face gradually turned deathly pale, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
Herwin!
She never expected that the person Ying Zijing summoned would actually be from Herwin Laboratory!
How is that possible?
Yan Ruoxue tried to calm her breathing, then sneered, "This video is definitely fake! An He told me that her computer skills are in no way inferior to those of graduate students in the Computer Science Department of Beijing University!"
"Isn't it easy to create a fake video?"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but it wasn't the effect Yan Ruoxue wanted.
"Miss Ying also knows computers?"
"That's amazing! She even does biochemical experiments. She's practically an all-rounder."
"The computer science department at Imperial College London is actually harder to get into for graduate studies."
"Professor Wen really has a good daughter. When I get home after the meeting, I'll give my brat a good beating."
Yan Ruoxue's face turned green. She gritted her teeth and said to Duke in English, "Mr. Duke, please say something! How could the real Professor Herwin possibly be here?!"
Duke didn't speak, but his blank expression said it all.
Yan Ruoxue's heart turned cold instantly.
Could it be...?
“I don’t know who this lady is, but she’s convinced I’m an imposter.” Herwin understood the English and adjusted his glasses. “I can vouch for you; I’m absolutely real. If this lady has any problems with her eyes or brain, I know of a hospital I can recommend you to.”
“Professor Herwin, we believe you, of course we believe you!” the dean quickly said. “She can’t accept it right away, please don’t take it to heart.”
Herwin nodded: "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't say any more. If anyone is able to enter my laboratory, we will meet in O Continent. You are all welcome."
The video call ended just like that, but everyone was still in shock and hadn't recovered.
The assistant did not shut down the computer, but instead pulled up a document: "Miss Ying is the first researcher in the Herven Laboratory. The professor will definitely take care of her matter."
"These are the conditions we put forward."
Although Manuel and Hervin were both among the top professors in the world, Manuel was still a little inferior.
Hervin can also provide the experimental materials that Manuel's laboratory can purchase.
This includes the number of places available for assessment to enter the laboratory.
But that's not all.
The assistant smiled again: "As you all should know, the professor's laboratory has two investors."
"We have also decided to invest some funds in the Ji family, and we have already obtained the consent of the two investors."
This is the second document, a fund transfer agreement, signed by Hervin.
There are two more signs below.
The Laurent family!
Venus Group!
The world's number one family and the world's number one conglomerate.
Three royal flushes, leaving everyone stunned.
Do we even need to choose?
Without even glancing at Yan Ruoxue, whose face was deathly pale, the dean immediately spoke up: "The Ji family and the research institute will both be inherited by Professor Wen Fengmian. Does anyone have any objections?"
No one spoke.
Yan Ruoxue's lips trembled, and her heart almost went numb.
Her mind was buzzing.
how so?!
She was the one who should have won.
She paid a considerable price to get people from Manuel's lab to come over.
"Dean." At this moment, a security guard hurriedly walked in and whispered something in his ear.
The dean's expression changed: "There was no leak, was there?"
"No," the man shook his head. "A hacker helped block one wave."
"That's good, that's good." The dean breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face darkened. "Yan Ruoxue, how dare you betray the Ji family! Arrest her!"
Before Yan Ruoxue could react, she was subdued by two guards from her own clan.
The entire conference room was in complete chaos.
While no one was paying attention, Duke picked up his bag and carefully walked out.
He made a phone call, his voice trembling with excitement: "Master, do you know? I've finally met the First Researcher of the Herwin Laboratory, she is—"
Before I could finish speaking, the phone suddenly went silent.
Duke stared blankly at his phone, which had been shattered in two by the internal force.
Ying Zijing raised her eyes: "Arrest him."
She hadn't yet held a grudge against the Taylor family for sending mercenaries last time.
Duke felt a chill run down his spine: "I...I'm a bodyguard..."
His bodyguards didn't make a move; they were all taken care of?!
He looked at the girl and suddenly remembered the video from last time.
Their figures met at that moment.
Duke was shocked: "So you—"
He was unable to speak again; an iron mask was put on him, and he was never able to tell the truth again.
Duke and Yan Ruoxue were both taken away.
"Dad." Ying Zijing turned around and calmly took out the expenses she had incurred in the ancient medicine community a few days ago. "The bill for the medicinal herbs I bought, can it be considered public funds?"
Wen Fengmian stared at the long string of numbers: "..."
He fell silent.
Then he began to wonder if his daughter had ulterior motives in letting him inherit the Ji family business and the research institute.
"Hmm." Wen Fengmian folded the bill and nodded. "It should take a few days, after the Ji family has been completely reorganized, for the finance department to reimburse the expenses."
To expel Yan Ruoxue's faction from the Ji family, a hypnotist must be hired to erase all their memories related to the Ji family.
Yan Ruoxue, in particular, had just discovered that she had made improper dealings with people from O Continent.
They gained support from O Continent by selling out the research institute.
Otherwise, given her own abilities, she certainly wouldn't be able to persuade the people from Manuel's lab to make a special trip.
Fortunately, it was discovered in advance; otherwise, it would have harmed not only the Ji family but also the entire country of China.
This is already a crime of treason and collusion with the enemy.
According to the agreement signed between Yan Ruoxue and the Ji family at the time, if such a thing happened, some surgery would be required.
These tasks are handled by specialists and are not under Wen Fengmian's jurisdiction.
He got the key from the dean and went to the confidential office in the inner courtyard.
On the way, I received a video call from Wen Tinglan.
“Dad, I blew up two more labs this month.” The boy took out his Norton University student ID card. “My scholarship for two months has been deducted.”
Wen Fengmian: "Dad doesn't want to see money right now."
Wen Tinglan: "..."
Wen Fengmian sighed softly.
He, who is usually not very concerned about money and doesn't care much about it, is now being made a bit sensitive by these two siblings.
**
Yan Anhe was not qualified to participate in the election of the heir, since she was not a researcher of the Ji family.
She waited in the villa for Yan Ruoxue's good news.
After waiting for an hour, Yan Anhe didn't see Yan Ruoxue, but instead the dean and several guards arrived.
"Dean, where is my aunt?" Yan Anhe stood up and smiled. "Can I move into the inner courtyard now?"
It doesn't matter if Imperial University doesn't want her, there's still the Ji family.
The inner court is also quite strong.
"Enter the inner courtyard?" The dean sneered. "What kind of pipe dream are you having? You and Yan Ruoxue are in cahoots. Who knows what you've done? Arrest them both."
The guards stepped forward and pinned Yan Anhe down.
Yan Anhe was stunned for the first time. She struggled to her feet, shouting, "Why are you arresting me? What right do you have?!"
The dean didn't waste any words with her and told the guards to lead the people out.
Yan Anhe was also taken to the research institute, just as Ying Zijin came out.
She pursed her lips: "Why is she here? She's not even one of the heirs!"
Who exactly became the heir?
Her aunt clearly received aid from Africa.
"Why can't Miss Ying be here?" the dean asked, looking at her calmly. "She is the top researcher at Herven Laboratory, and her qualifications are no less than those of the Ji family's heir."
Requesting a monthly vote to secure a top-five finish. See you this afternoon!
Please repeat after me the name of the King of Qin.
Ying Zijin
