Xu Yun was solely focused on saving his daughter.
He had no inclination to act as any sort of righteous judge.
Even if Lin Xian's manuscript was indeed stolen, Xu Yun didn't care in the slightest.
He no longer wanted to deal with trivial matters. Once again, he prepared the experimental apparatus and began preparing the hibernation capsule filling solution.
He calmed himself down.
He started experimenting according to the steps outlined in the manuscript.
But...
Problems arose quickly!
"No, this chemical reaction equation is wrong."
Outside, the sky was already getting brighter, and the sun was rising, heralding dawn.
Xu Yun scratched his head for a long time, unable to come up with the correct chemical formula.
He tried many methods, but none succeeded.
He attempted to skip this step and continue with the subsequent reactions, but to no avail.
"This is an inescapable chain reaction, but it... it seems to be incorrect."
Xu Yun's glasses were fogged up, unable to understand.
The manuscript was undoubtedly correct, as the previous experiments with ice crystals had proven.
But this chain reaction chemical formula was always unsuccessful in the laboratory.
What was going on?
Based on past research experience, Xu Yun believed there could only be two reasons—
The chain reaction formula is incomplete, lacking preceding steps and environmental descriptions, possibly omitted by Lin Xian.The reaction formula itself is wrong, not excluding the possibility of Lin Xian copying it incorrectly.
"What should I do?"
Xu Yun hesitated.
Should he continue to immerse himself in research?
Or should he go directly to Lin Xian and ask for clarification?
Clack, clack, clack, clack.
Even though he hadn't slept all night, Xu Yun still had no trace of fatigue, pacing and pondering in the laboratory.
After much deliberation, he decided to go and ask Lin Xian in person.
His daughter had been in a vegetative state for too long, with the possibility of respiratory failure at any moment... every minute and second was worth fighting for, not to be wasted.
"I can only seek help from Lin Xian."
Xu Yun wiped his glasses and made up his mind:
"But, I must keep the matter of this data confidential."
"No matter what reason he had for helping me, his intentions were good. I can't burden him because of my own problems."
Xu Yun didn't have Lin Xian's contact information.
Although he knew he worked for MX Corporation, he didn't have Lin Xian's contact information or Zhao Yingjun's contact information...
"I can only go to MX Corporation to find Lin Xian."
Xu Yun glanced at his phone.
It was 8:30 in the morning.
He put on his coat and drove straight to the city center.
An hour later.
MX Corporation's reception desk.
"Hello."
A middle-aged man with a tired face, wearing thick glasses like a scholar, gasped as he arrived at the front desk:
"Hello, I'm looking for Lin Xian."
The receptionist smiled politely:
"Sir, do you have an appointment?"
"Huh? No... no." Xu Yun was stunned:
"Could you please inform Lin Xian that—"
"Professor Xu Yun!"
A sharp male voice pierced through the lobby.
Everyone looked over.
The source of the voice was the head of the marketing group at MX Corporation, Wang.
At this moment, Wang, looking dumbfounded, seemed to be in a daze.
He ran like the wind and appeared in front of Xu Yun.
Smack!
He tightly held Xu Yun's hands, his face excited:
"Professor Xu Yun, why are you here! Look at you, you didn't even inform us in advance... we could have come to pick you up!"
"I'm not here to see you guys." Xu Yun shook off his hand without hesitation.
"I understand, I understand. You're here to see our General Manager Zhao, right? Please wait in the VIP room and have a cup of tea. I'll call General Manager Zhao down right away!"
Wang had visited Xu Yun with Zhao Yingjun before and knew the weight of this eminent figure.
The world's major cosmetic companies couldn't even get a word with Professor Xu Yun, let alone make any progress. Even Zhao Yingjun had said at the meeting this week that they should give up on Professor Xu Yun's plan.
But now, he came directly to the door!
How could they not properly attend to this figure who could decide the life or death of MX Corporation?
"Professor Xu, please come this way. I'll call General Manager Zhao down!"
Xu Yun wanted to explain something.
But Wang was like a machine gun, not giving him a chance to speak, and dragged him to the VIP room.
Xu Yun sighed.
He desperately wanted to fly to Lin Xian right now and clarify everything.
He was in a hurry.
But he really didn't know which floor and room Lin Xian was in...
It might be better to first see Zhao Yingjun and explain his intentions. It could be considered a courtesy call, rather than arriving uninvited.
Bowing, Wang asked Xu Yun to sit down and then instructed the nearby service staff:
"Quickly prepare some tea, snacks, and fruits. You stay here and make tea for Professor Xu, see if he needs anything."
With that, he put on a smile and quickly left the VIP room.
Arriving in the lobby, Wang hurriedly took out his phone and dialed Zhao Yingjun's number:
"General Manager Zhao, please come down quickly! Something's happened!"
"What's wrong?"
On the phone, Zhao Yingjun's tone was calm.
"Professor Xu Yun has come to the company! Professor Xu Yun!"
22nd floor, in the office.
Zhao Yingjun stood up directly:
"You didn't see wrong?"
"I'm absolutely sure! General Manager Zhao, please come down quickly! This is a lifeline for our company... a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Ding—
Three minutes later.
The elevator doors on the ground floor opened.
Zhao Yingjun, accompanied by three vice presidents, stepped out of the elevator briskly, heading straight for the VIP room without looking around.
The three vice presidents, each with a nervous expression, knew very well...
Professor Xu Yun might just be a money tree for other cosmetic companies.
But for MX Corporation, for the upcoming launch of the Rhine brand, he was like a savior.
The importance was beyond imagination!
"Why did Professor Xu Yun come?"
Seeing Wang coming over, Zhao Yingjun asked directly.
Wang shook his head:
"I... I don't know, General Manager Zhao. No one could have expected Professor Xu Yun to deviate from the norm like this. He couldn't be invited before, but now he came directly without any notice!"
Zhao Yingjun nodded and turned to look at the three vice presidents:
"Don't speak randomly later, especially don't mention the purchase of the chemical substance authorization. Don't mention it at all. Let's first hear what Professor Xu Yun has to say."
The three vice presidents nodded in agreement.
Everyone could tell that Professor Xu Yun had come in a hurry this time, obviously with a purpose.
But what that purpose was...
Even if a deity came, it would be impossible to guess.
"Anyway, let's be flexible." One of the vice presidents muttered nervously.
...
Zhao Yingjun entered the VIP room and smiled at Xu Yun:
"Professor Xu Yun, I apologize for the inadequate reception. Please forgive us."
Xu Yun shook his head and said in a low voice:
"Miss Zhao, I'm sorry for the sudden visit."
"But I'm not here to see you today. I have urgent business with Lin Xian. Can you take me to see him?"
Zhao Yingjun looked puzzled:
"Lin Xian?"
She never expected that Professor Xu Yun, who rushed over in such a hurry and looked tired, would be so eager to see Lin Xian? It was quite unexpected.
But she still nodded calmly and took out her phone:
"No problem, please have a cup of tea first. I'll call Lin Xian to come down."
"No, no..." Xu Yun quickly stood up and pressed Zhao Yingjun's phone, shaking his head seriously:
"Or, take me to his office to find him. I want... to talk to him alone."
???
The three vice presidents exchanged glances.
What kind of drama was this? Lin Xian was being treated with such high regard!
