Chapter 404 Ying Zijin: Is the Laurent Family enough? 【2 more】
"Hello, Professor Li, hello." Meng Ru said, "Are you here to talk about Xiaoxuan? I'm listening."
Li Yan's attitude was no longer as gentle as before. He said coldly, "Sorry, Madam Yuan, I called to tell you that our laboratory is full and we don't need Ying Yuexuan anymore."
Meng Ru was stunned.
Before she could react or ask anything else, the other party hung up the phone.
Only the cold "beep beep" sound was left.
Because it was on the hands-free mode, Yuan's father could hear it clearly.
He frowned: "What's going on?"
Clearly two months ago, Meng Ru told him that Ying Yuexuan had become a backup candidate for Professor Li's laboratory.
Although the backup candidate cannot be included in the laboratory's roster yet, he or she can already participate in the experiments.
It wasn't long before things changed.
Meng Ru also found it strange: "Let me ask again."
She dialed the number again.
Professor Li did answer the call, but his attitude remained cold: "Sorry, I have nothing to tell you."
The call was hung up again.
Meng Ru was stunned for a long time: "Xiao Xuan is in O Continent and hasn't done anything. Could it be a problem with the experimental project?"
"Not necessarily." Father Yuan thought a lot, "Maybe she did something. Fortunately, it's just an engagement, and it hasn't been announced to the celebrities in the capital. I think it's better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible."
"I'll ask the others." Meng Ru frowned. "Old Madam Ying has become a vegetable. I owe her a favor anyway. It's not good to be so ruthless when the matter is not clear yet."
"Besides, the bidding for the Nie family project will start next month, and Xiaoxuan cannot be left out."
Yuan's father didn't say anything more: "Then go ask again. If something goes wrong, withdraw as soon as possible."
In his opinion, reputation is more important than Ying Yuexuan.
Meng Ru nodded and started looking for a phone.

This is Imperial University.
After Li Yan hung up the phone, he was still furious: "Mr. Xue, if you hadn't told me, I would have been kept in the dark."
The matter of Ying Yuexuan stealing experimental data involved confidential information, and the research base in Continent O could not tell anyone about it.
Once it was made public, it would arouse the interest of some dark forces.
If Fu Yunshen hadn't called, Imperial Capital University would have been completely unaware of the situation.
"It's okay. It's not your fault." Xue Guohua waved his hand. "You can't tell a person's true heart from his appearance. I didn't expect that."
"Mr. Xue, we need to report this to the admissions department as well." Li Yan said solemnly, "Students like this must not be admitted."
The ISC organizing committee can remove Ying Yuexuan, but not the college entrance examination.
There is no reason to stop her from taking the college entrance examination, so we can only refuse to admit her.
Xue Guohua said calmly: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. I've also informed other schools that the name Ying Yuexuan has been blacklisted by all major universities."
After hearing this, Li Yan was relieved: "That's good, it must be the same in Continent O."
Even if Ying Yuexuan achieved good results in the college entrance examination, even if she was the top scorer, she would not be able to enter the world's top universities.
"What a pity." Li Yan shook his head again, "He has the ability, but his character is too bad."
No laboratory would dare to employ someone like Ying Yuexuan who has a history of stealing experimental data.
Xue Guohua pushed his glasses and said, "Don't think about these things anymore. The college entrance examination is about to begin, and we have to start a new round of recruiting people."
"Oh oh." Li Yan also remembered the most important thing, "What if Norton University intervenes again?"
Xue Guohua's face darkened: "Don't be such a bad-mouthed person."
Li Yan stopped talking.
He knew that if he continued talking, Xue Guohua would beat him up.

The international finals will start on May 15th, and the draw will be held in the afternoon of the 14th.
This draw does not determine the order of appearance, but whether it is an individual competition or a team competition.
Originally, the ISC international finals had two rounds, the first round was an individual competition, and the second round was a team competition.
The team competition will be held at the end of June.
Later, in order to save time, the organizing committee combined the two rounds of competition into one.
If you participate in the individual competition, you cannot participate in the team competition.
The final result of each country and region is the sum of the scores of the individual and team competitions.
Ying Zijin had nothing to do these two days, so he went to Helvin's laboratory to study quantum mechanics together.
A while ago, Helvin had already reported the space carrier project and was just waiting for funding approval from above.
A space carrier is not a small project and requires a lot of financial support.
As soon as Ying Zijin arrived at the laboratory this afternoon, he heard a quarrel coming from the office.
She didn't go in, she just listened.
The door was open, and she could see that the people arguing were Helven's assistant and a middle-aged man.
The assistant's face flushed red with anger: "Even if you don't approve this project, there's no need to withdraw all the funds, right?"
How can the laboratory continue to operate if the funds are withdrawn?
Helven was relatively calm: "Is this what your family meant?"
"I'm sorry, professor." The middle-aged man shook his head and said calmly, "Your project is really too empty and pretentious. The head of the family has supported you for many years, but you haven't made any progress at all."
"Some people in the family are already dissatisfied with the head of the family, and Manuel's laboratory has begun to develop new products. The head of the family doubts your ability, so he withdrew his investment."
The middle-aged man also felt that the experimental project reported by Helven this time was ridiculous.
Space jump, crossing hundreds of millions of light years to another universe?
What a joke.
Even the big guys on the NOK forum have never dared to say such things.
"That's totally different." The assistant was even more angry. "It would take more time to develop a space carrier. Once it is developed, it will be able to explore the universe."
The middle-aged man still had the same attitude: "Sorry, the head of the family can't wait. If you have connections, you can contact other families. The Patch family will not accompany you."
After saying this, he bowed to Helven and left the office.
Ying Zijin glanced at the middle-aged man before going in: "Who is he?"
"The manager of the Patch family." The assistant pursed his lips and whispered, "They are also the largest investor in the laboratory. Now they want to withdraw all funds because they don't believe that the professor can research a space carrier."
Ying Zijin narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Patch family?"
"Teacher Ying may not know that the Patch family is one of the four largest chaebols in Continent O." The assistant explained, "They are very powerful, and they have always been supporting the laboratory."
Ying Zijin's eyes were slightly cold, and he said calmly: "I know."
The Patch family is also a very old family with the same long history as the Laurent family, and is also engaged in the banking industry.
Even after hundreds of years, she still had a deep impression of the Patch family.
Because the Pazzi family had sent people to assassinate every leader of the Laurent family more than once, wanting to replace the Laurent family and become the ruler of Florence.
Originally, the Patch family had been defeated by the Laurent family, but at that critical moment, Caesar Laurent died, and the Patch family was able to make a comeback.
Now, it has become the leader of the four major chaebols in Oceania.
The assistant was still very angry: "Professor, they don't understand anything at all."
Scientific research is inherently a long-term project and nothing can be discovered in a short period of time.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many problems that have remained unsolved for centuries.
Helven was still optimistic and calm: "I have contacted Venus Group, and they said they would invest in us. However, there has been no substantial progress in the past few years, so it is normal for them to do this."
The assistant sighed, "Professor, this is different."
Just like the ancient martial arts world, there are constant disputes among the major financial groups in Continent O, but when facing the outside world, they are united.
The Venus Group is the world's largest group with huge assets and is not involved in the competition with the major chaebols in Europe.
The Venus Group is richer than any other chaebol, but its rise is too recent and it does not have the strong foundation of the Patch family in Continent O.
The investment from Venus Group is not enough, they also need the support of a big family in Continental O.
But among the four major chaebols, the Patch family is the strongest one.
Even the Bevan family, where the sharpshooter Miss Rita belongs, has been suppressed by the Patch family in recent years due to the ill health of the head of the family.
After the Patch family withdrew their investment, other families were afraid of the Patch family and would not invest at all.
Therefore, the middle-aged manager's previous words were simply sarcasm.
As for the Laurent family, it is not classified among the four major chaebols because it is too powerful.
"It's okay, we'll take it one step at a time." Helven even joked, "If the lab really can't continue to operate, your salary won't be reduced."
The assistant was sad: "Professor..."
Ying Zijin lowered his eyes and drooped his eyelashes.
After a while, she said calmly: "Laurent family, is their investment enough?"
Yinghuang's followers are all over the world 23333
