Zhou Wei's boss stormed back, grabbed her, pulled her into a corner, and berated her harshly:
"Don't you pride yourself on being the best at attracting investment and dealing with investors?"
"Now I understand. Those investors were supporting you not because you were so capable, but because of Xia Zhining's project!"
He grew angrier and angrier, pointing his finger at Zhou Wei's nose:
"They value the platform behind you, not you as a person!"
"Without Xia Zhining, you are nothing!"
Having said that, he coldly tossed out a sentence:
"I don't keep idlers here, and I certainly don't keep stupid people. Pack your things and get out!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei's mental defenses completely collapsed, and she could no longer maintain her composure, bursting into tears in public.
But behind that heavy mahogany door lies a completely different world.
"Cheers to national recognition!"
The crisp sound of glasses clinking echoed as Xia Zhining and her team members raised their glasses in celebration.
Whether it's wine or juice, the glass is filled with the same joy.
Here, there is no pretense or hypocrisy typical of the workplace, only the joy of like-minded people.
Looking at her comrades-in-arms, Xia Zhining breathed a sigh of relief.
The Anning vaccine project has finally grown from a seedling that needed her constant care to a new stage where it can develop independently.
The work that follows will now proceed in a more systematic and structured manner.
The experimental results will be put into the next round of testing as planned, gradually screening out the optimal formula until it enters clinical observation.
The most difficult period of pioneering has passed, and the road ahead is becoming increasingly clear.
Xia Zhining happily drank a few cups, and her face gradually flushed.
The project assistant couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Xia, do you have any health and wellness secrets?"
“From the early stages of the project when you were working alone to now leading the entire team, you seem to be getting healthier and healthier.”
“Yes,” the others agreed. “When I first met President Xia, I thought she was too thin. Now she looks much healthier and not as frail as before.”
"We're both pretty exhausted from spending all day in the lab."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhining unconsciously touched the sports watch that Gu Huaiye had given her on her wrist, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
This is probably thanks to someone who insisted on making her go to the training base every day, dragging her out of bed to exercise without fail, and arranging Gu's nutritional meals for every meal.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhining immediately waved her hand enthusiastically: "The secret is to exercise more! It's best to find a reliable and strict exercise partner!"
She got more and more excited as she spoke, and announced loudly: "Once our vaccine starts to make a profit, I'll buy a building, move our lab into it, and build a gym and a nutrition cafeteria for everyone!"
If someone else had said this, they might have thought it was just empty talk.
But when Xia Zhining said it, everyone's eyes lit up and they cheered:
"President Xia is awesome! We've been waiting for this building!"
"Waaaaah, this is the first time someone has ever told me they'd buy me an apartment... The domineering CEO Xia has fallen in love with me!"
...
The celebration banquet concluded amidst laughter and cheers.
Everyone was still reminiscing and could not forget this night filled with joy.
At this moment, they are unaware that this is only the beginning.
In the future, countless more glorious and grand celebrations await them as they raise their glasses in celebration.
...
After the celebration banquet, Xia Zhining, slightly drunk, went to the front desk and took out her bank card to pay the bill.
The receptionist smiled and handed me an exquisite black and gold card with both hands, featuring a beautiful cloud and crane pattern.
The receptionist said softly, "Ms. Xia, your bill has been settled."
"This is your exclusive membership card, please keep it safe."
