"You're an expert?" Qingyan invited him inside and gestured for him to take a seat. "Why didn't you come to the meeting?"
"Experts aren't considered meeting attendees, so I didn't have the qualification to join," the old man, Wang Fu, replied. He wiped his hands on his clothes and introduced himself with a serious tone. "I heard your data analysis earlier, and it was well done and very professional..."
Impressive, indeed.
They had assumed she was just a high school dropout who had used connections to get in...
But they were wrong.
"Since you're an experienced expert with twenty years of experience, I'll have you lead the selection of capable individuals to form a research and development team. You'll be in charge of the topic selection, drug development and analysis, as well as data compilation and application preparation," Qingyan instructed.
"Thank you, Director Qing," Wang Fu was pleasantly surprised. He had been accustomed to being an underachiever, but now, a surge of passion seemed to be igniting within him.
"I just took a tour around the company, and there are a few outdated research instruments that can't keep up with the times. I'll have the procurement department replace them within three days. This includes instruments like the moisture analyzer, ultraviolet spectrophotometer, and particle size analyzer. I'll provide a detailed list," Qingyan continued.
Hearing this, Liang Jian and Wang Fu couldn't help but feel excited!
They had wanted to replace those instruments for a long time!
"Moving forward, the company will focus on two development directions: liquid formulations, including injections, inhalation solutions, and eye drops, as well as solid oral formulations such as enteric capsules. Anyone with good research and development plans can come to me. If you have any questions, come to my office. That's it for the meeting," Qingyan declared.
Qingyan stood up, emanating an aura of a powerful and cool leader.
Many people watched her figure and had a faint sense that the company was about to change. The dark clouds were dissipating, and the company seemed to be undergoing a transformation!
Returning to her office, Qingyan's phone vibrated. "Grandfather Yan?"
"Yatou, I've arrived in Beijing. Do you have time to have lunch together?" a hearty laughter came through the phone. "Even if you don't have time, you have to make time! Guess what day it is today?"
"Your birthday?" Qingyan hadn't realized she had forgotten his birthday while being busy. She hadn't even prepared a gift!
"You little girl, at least you have some conscience! You didn't forget Grandfather's birthday! How about meeting at Jinghu Restaurant for lunch? Or your favorite private room, shall I come to pick you up?"
"Sure, I'll send you the location."
"Alright then."
After hanging up, Qingyan sent her location, checked her bag, and realized she hadn't brought anything valuable today. However, she recalled that the company's research laboratory had a few machines that could come in handy.
At that moment, the old expert Wang Fu had organized a group of over ten enthusiastic individuals interested in research and development. They were standing and discussing when they saw Qingyan appear.
"I need to use the laboratory for a bit. Carry on with your work," she said to them.
She asked her assistant He Ning to bring over a lot of medicinal herbs. Some herbs were missing, and others were not sufficient, so she had to constantly change the prescription. She tinkered in the laboratory for a while and finally made a few small pills. Then she hurriedly left.
Wang Fu and the others exchanged glances, their expressions startled. They couldn't believe that Qing, in such a short time, had made several pills, and the whole process was smooth and flawless!
The key was that Qing's prescription was adaptable, even more complex than the ones they had developed!
But Qing was too fast, and they were standing outside the laboratory and didn't observe carefully...
Who exactly was Qing?! So capable?!
Qing Yan finished arranging the birthday gift and received a WeChat message from Si Yechen.
"Where do you work?"
Seeing that the little girl didn't reply, after a while, he sent another message: "Are you getting used to the first day?"
After thinking for a moment, he added: "Have you been bullied?"
Qing Yan sent her location, and when Si Yechen saw it, it was a small pharmaceutical research company under the Li family.
She had only come back two days ago, and now she was put in charge of a company so quickly?
"Aren't you tired?" Si Yechen worried that she would work too hard.
"Not tired, very relaxed, and I haven't been bullied," Qing Yan replied resolutely.
"Lunch together?"
"Next time, I have plans with someone else."
"Is it a guy?"
"Yeah."
Si Yechen looked at her reply, and that sour, unpleasant feeling started to spread in his heart again.
"Which restaurant? I'll take you there."
Qing Yan replied with a "No need" and picked up the data report that He Ning had brought, focusing on reading and not replying further.
At noon, Qing Yan received a call from Grandpa Yan, knowing that he had arrived downstairs. She grabbed her baseball bag and got into his car.
"Sir Ye, do you want to come along?" Qingmu didn't expect Miss Qing Yan to take control of their family company so quickly after acknowledging her heritage. What's more surprising was that Miss Qing Yan actually declined Sir Ye's lunch invitation and got into someone else's car!
The license plate looked unfamiliar. It probably didn't belong to someone who frequented the upper circles of the capital city. Qingmu didn't know who was in the car!
But if Sir Ye personally followed, there must be a man inside!
"What's up?" Si Yechen's tone was dismissive. "We're just looking for a place to eat."
"Well..." You're the boss, you're right. The place you mentioned for eating wouldn't happen to be the restaurant Miss Qingyan went to, right?
Haha, a stubborn man.
In the car, the old man saw Qingyan and his voice became somewhat excited. "The little girl has become even more beautiful! It's so difficult to see you these days!"
Yan Bingsong knew that if it weren't for his birthday, the little girl wouldn't have been able to spare the time to meet him.
"How is your grandmother doing now?"
Qingyan briefly explained the situation to him, and she could faintly see tears welling up in Yan Bingsong's eyes. "With you taking care of her, Tang Changhai that old man is also in the capital. I feel relieved..."
Yan Bingsong and Old Lady Lu Yuelian were deeply in love, but he was born into poverty and Lu Yuelian's family looked down on him and disapproved of their relationship.
In the end, Yan Bingsong helplessly watched his beloved woman being forced to marry into the local wealthy family—the Lu family. He worked hard and made a name for himself in the business world, finally expanding his business overseas and establishing a firm foothold there...
Later, he thought he had achieved success in his career and returned to the small town on the outskirts to find Lu Yuelian. He even gave her a ring, promising that no matter what she asked for while holding this ring, he would fulfill it!
But what people didn't expect was that one summer vacation, Lu Yuelian had Qingyan bring this ring to find him and ask him to teach her a skill.
He was a business prodigy and had many capable friends around him.
For Lu Yuelian's sake, Yan Bingsong never married and treated Qingyan as his own granddaughter. He taught her business skills, and his friends also guided her in medical knowledge. Several friends who were skilled in music, chess, and painting also loved Qingyan very much and imparted their lifelong skills to her.
And Qingyan lived up to everyone's expectations, surpassing her predecessors.
It can be said that Qingyan spent her summer and winter vacations with this group of old men. Without them, she wouldn't be where she is today!
