Even after the champagne was fully chilled, there was still a big difference in air pressure inside and outside. As the iron ring was pulled open, the cork was pushed high up by the liquid inside, and the white "fruit wine" sprayed forward.
"oh!"
“Clatter…”
The crowd started to make noise.
Karl gestured to everyone with a smile and said:
"First of all, I would like to thank the BHP Group for its support. Without the support of the Group, my research would be difficult to continue."
"Secondly, I would like to thank Miss Monica. It was Miss Monica who gave me the opportunity to do scientific research."
"Once again, I would like to thank all my colleagues and students in the experimental group. Without you, I would not be able to do this..."
"Haha..." Blaise laughed from below: "Professor Carl, your speech is too official and formal. You are the key to everything."
"Cheers to you!"
"Cheers to Professor Carl!"
"cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and laughed.
This is the top floor of the hotel, specially designed for large banquets, and today it is Carl's home court.
"I didn't expect that Professor Carl's research would yield results so quickly." Ruili stood below with a glass of juice in her hand:
"Monica, you really found yourself a treasure this time."
"That's right." Monica licked the corner of her mouth, and her red lips painted with lipstick exuded an attractive luster:
"I've always had good luck."
"Professor Carl's research can help improve and cure several congenital diseases, and bring hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to the Billionaires Group every year. This is just the beginning. I believe that the professor's future research will have greater economic value."
"Hundreds of millions!" Ruili's face flushed. "Recently, several representatives of pharmaceutical companies have contacted Karl. You have to be careful not to let anyone steal it away."
"Don't worry." Monica chuckled:
"We signed a contract with Professor Carl. Not only does he receive a one-time income, he also gets a share of the profits from the drug, and..."
"From what I know, Professor Karl is not very interested in money. He is a true scholar."
"How much?" Ruili asked curiously, "How much did you give Karl?"
"Hehe..." Monica laughed softly:
"This is confidential, but Professor Karl must have achieved financial freedom now."
"At least for you."
"Ah!" Ruili sighed, "Actually, Professor Carl isn't that old, don't you think? Although he doesn't look that good, he has a very good temperament."
"Uh..." Monica looked strange: "Rui Li, you are getting married soon."
"It's already blown." Ruili shrugged:
"Love is like a phantom on the horizon, always elusive and far less real than money."
"There are so many conflicts just when we talk about the wedding. We can already foresee the quarrels after the wedding. Let's just separate and calm down."
?
Monica shook her head slightly.
Ruili is her good friend, and she also knows Ruili's fiancé and was originally optimistic about their relationship.
Unexpectedly...
Just like before, who could have thought that she, who didn't want to be apart from Blaise for even a moment, would choose to break up? "Bang!"
"Pom Pom!"
With the assistance of a director of BHP Billiton Group, a series of champagnes were opened and there was cheering in the venue.
"Don't mention unhappy things."
Monica cheered herself up: "Today is Professor Karl's celebration party, we need to drink a few more glasses."
"yes!"
Ruili nodded.
"Monica." Blaise, wearing a slim-fitting dress, stepped closer, bowed, and extended one hand forward:
"May I have the honor of dancing with you?"
"My pleasure."
Monica smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand to shake the other person's, and the two of them moved nimbly into the crowd.
Champagne, music, dancing...
The senior executives of the Bito Group surrounded Carl, congratulating him from time to time and discussing the next arrangements.
"Professor Karl."
Eugene was a bald old man in his fifties. He smiled and said, "I heard that you are planning to buy a house. Bito Group has channels in this regard. Do you need help?"
"Need not."
Carl smiled faintly and shook his head:
"An old house on the edge of the city?" Eugene frowned. "The houses over there are quite old."
"yes."
Carl nodded:
"It's a house that's over 600 years old. It's said that it used to be the residence of a certain earl. That earl also happened to have the last name Bergman. Maybe it's fate, so I plan to buy it."
"Hmm..." Eugene stroked his chin.
"Professor Karl, even if a house that's hundreds of years old is carefully maintained, some parts are out of date."
"Maybe……"
"You should think about it again."
"Really?" Carl thought for a moment, "Then let's see."
He didn't intend to consider it because the house originally belonged to him and they had feelings for it in the past.
What's more, there were things that interested him there.
…………
As the first person to follow Carl in the laboratory, Barrow was naturally invited to attend the banquet.
While the others gathered, he went to the area where the food was placed and started to devour it.
Ever since his body underwent changes, he found that his appetite and digestive ability had greatly increased.
Feeling hungry early.
"Barrow."
"Hmm..." Barrow swallowed the cake in his mouth desperately and wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth awkwardly:
"Tracy, you're here too."
"Um."
Tracy has long blue hair, her appearance is not very outstanding, and she has many freckles on her cheeks.
But every time he saw her, Barrow felt his heart beating uncontrollably.
"I am very grateful for your financial support during this period. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would continue my studies."
Tracy sighed:
"I have found a suitable buyer for some of the things my father left behind. I will return them to you after I sell them."
"Don't worry." Barrow waved his hands hastily: "I don't need money now."
"Professor Carl gave bonuses to the people in the laboratory yesterday. I got 10,000 pounds. If you need it, I can lend it to you first."
"Ah!" Tracy's eyes widened: "Ten thousand pounds?"
"Yes." Barrow scratched his head and grinned:
"I have to say that Professor Carl is a very generous elder. Each person in the laboratory received 8,000 pounds. Since I was the first one to join him, I gave him 10,000 pounds. In addition, the subsidy will be increased by 300 pounds starting next month."
"Helping in the lab isn't much less than working outside."
Tracy looked envious.
She had never worried about money before, but after her father Jim died unexpectedly, she realized the importance of money.
Her father did not leave her much inheritance, and the school tuition was already beyond her means.
Fortunately, Barrow was willing to help.
Ten thousand pounds!
Licking the corner of her mouth, Tracy lowered her head, and reached out to grab Barrow as if she had made a decision.
"Come with me."
"ah!"
Barrow was stunned and followed subconsciously.
corner.
Several hidden gazes were quietly withdrawn.
"The target has left the party, follow."
"A faint supernatural power was detected in the girl named Tracy, and her consciousness was marked..."
"Attention, Night Watchmen!"
“Swish!”
In the dark night.
A bat flew down from the top of the building and circled in the air.
Karl stood in front of the French window with a wine glass in his hand, looking at the figure below, chuckled and shook his head.
