So direct? So realistic?
Ye Tian was surprised for a moment, then smiled again, "Okay, but it's too noisy here. How about we find a quieter place to talk?"
The two went to a teahouse that was jointly owned by the public and private sectors, and chatted while drinking tea.
"Comrade Xiyue saved my life, so of course I must repay her properly." Ye Tian took a sip of tea and chuckled, "How about this, I have a spare house that I can give to Comrade Xiyue as a token of my gratitude for saving my life."
"A house?" Li Xiyue hadn't thought of that for a moment, but it was indeed more suitable than giving her money.
She has plenty of money, but no houses.
"Comrade Xiyue will definitely marry into the capital in the future. Although the Chu family is wealthy and powerful, I think Comrade Xiyue should also have her own house. You saved my life, so I'll give you a home. How about that?"
Li Xiyue looked at the smiling man in front of her and raised an eyebrow. "Very good."
"Heh..." They really aren't being polite at all.
Ye Tian laughed heartily, "I really like Comrade Xi Yue's straightforward personality and her direct way of speaking."
"Shall we go look at houses now?" Li Xiyue's eyes were full of eager anticipation.
She was really looking forward to visiting the courtyard houses in Beijing.
Ye Tian said with a hint of helplessness, "No rush, I have something to discuss with Comrade Xiyue."
Li Xiyue picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Go on."
Hurry up and tell me, then let's go look at the house.
"After you gave me the medicine, the doctor said my condition was well controlled and it wouldn't easily relapse unless I was subjected to extreme stimulation... Comrade Xiyue's medicine has such a miraculous effect. I think if this medicine could be mass-produced, it would definitely cure more heart patients."
Li Xiyue looked at him. "Director Ye, do you mean you want to buy my prescription?"
“We can cooperate. You provide the prescription, we develop the drug, and once the drug is on the market, I will give you a share of the profits.”
Li Xiyue shook her head, "It takes too long, I don't have the patience."
If she wants to mass-produce it, she can do it herself in a few years. Why should she rely on others? All the money she earns then will be hers alone; there's no need to share it with others.
"Comrade Xiyue, although this is just an investment at present, it can bring long-term benefits in the future," Ye Tian tried to persuade her.
Li Xiyue smiled, "No one can predict the future. Instead of placing our hopes on the uncertain future, we should live in the present. Director Ye, don't you agree?"
Don't even try to make empty promises to her; she'll find them too hard to believe.
Ye Tian looked at her for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, but our pharmaceutical research institute doesn't have much funding, and we still need to invest a lot in medicinal materials in the early stages..."
“That’s your business, it has nothing to do with me,” Li Xiyue said, unmoved.
They weren't close, so trying to appeal to her emotions wouldn't work.
Ye Tian smiled wryly, "I thought Comrade Xi Yue would have some sympathy for those patients..."
"Director Ye thinks too highly of me. I'm really not that noble."
This guy even tried to morally blackmail her, how ridiculous.
There are so many patients in the world, do they all expect her to be selfless? She's not a saint, she doesn't have such a great light to shine on everyone.
"Alright." Seeing her resolute attitude, Ye Tian sighed. "How much would you sell Comrade Xiyue's prescription for?"
Li Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look at your house first."
Ye Tian's residence is a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) in Dongcheng District. It faces the Drum Tower to the north and Wangfujing Street to the south, covering an area of about 500 square meters. The main gate alone is quite impressive.
The entrance is bright and spacious, with enough room for many cars to park.
Entering through the main gate, you are greeted by a mural wall, which is carved with a pattern of blooming flowers symbolizing wealth and prosperity. Below the wall is a rockery and a fish pond, with a row of green bamboo growing beside the pond.
After entering the gate, there are side courtyards on the left and right, and watchmen's quarters.
After passing through the hanging flower gate, you are directly facing the main courtyard. The main courtyard is very large and has several precious trees planted there. There should also be some flowers, but because it is winter, they are all covered by snow and cannot be seen.
