Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 469: Can You Help Me?

After Deng He said this, everyone present instantly exploded. Those who knew her looked at Xue Xi, and those who did not know her followed Deng He’s gaze and looked at the first row. They heard Deng He speak of the red-haired girl sitting below. “She is my boss’s daughter and also your classmate.”

Following his words, Xue Xi stood up and nodded at the people behind her as a greeting.

“...”

The entire classroom fell silent as everyone turned to look at Xue Xi in disbelief.

After Xue Xi had stood up and nodded, Director Chen was still in a daze. What did Deng He just say?

Xue Xi was the one who’d developed the neurological drug?

He was referring to her and not the R & D team, but how was that possible?

Such a difficult project was actually developed by a 19-year-old girl?

No.

Li Sheng Pharmaceutical Company’s products had already passed the clinical trial stage and were now planning to invest a large amount on production. This meant that the nerve acid must have been developed half a year ago.

What was Xue Xi doing half a year ago?

In high school, she seemed to be preparing for the college entrance examination.

Director Chen gulped and saw Xue Xi looking at him. She politely and respectfully said, “Director, I know what nerve acids are.”

Director Chen: “...”

How could a neurological researcher not know what a nerve acid was?!

Just now, he was actually coaxing her earnestly. Who knew that she was actually a big shot!

The corners of Director Chen’s lips twitched as he felt his face ache.

On the other side, Gu Yunqing’s face was no longer hurting. She widened her eyes and looked at Xue Xi in disbelief.

How could this be... How could this be?!

Professor Deng He was actually an employee of Xue Xi’s company. Moreover, what else did he say? Xue Xi was the one who’d developed the neurological drug?

No wonder Xue Xi could sit in the middle of the hall.

She clenched her fists tightly and felt as though her cheeks had been slapped a few times!

After that, Deng He told them about the psychological journey to develop the neurological drug. This nerve acid was a landmark for the development of chemistry.

He even narrated how he had wanted to give up for a period of time, but in the end, he persevered. “Research is a job with no end in sight. We will never know if the direction we are working hard toward is right or not. We will never know if we are going to take another path tomorrow, or if we are going to walk further and further down this wrong path—just like how I had been researching for so many years and was still walking on the wrong path. If not for Big Missy’s results, I’m afraid that we would still be on the wrong path.

“But if someone were to say that the crooked path we took previously was a waste of time, then I would like to say that you’re wrong! Although our mistake wasted time, we can point out the path for our future generations. Therefore, scientific research is always a sacred task!

“On the path of scientific research, thorns are everywhere. We can’t see the path ahead, nor can we see the direction. However, our hard work and sweat will never be wrong. The universe is vast, and humans are too small. However, I firmly believe that if there are any problems that our generation cannot solve, our next generation will stand on our shoulders and look at the future!”

The speech was exciting and encouraging.

In the end, the students stood up and applauded for Deng He, as well as the countless staff members who were working hard on the frontlines in the chemistry world.

The applause was deafening, making one feel hot-blooded.

The students were not done listening and did not want to leave. A few people went to the podium to chat with Deng He for a while more and hold him up.

Gu Yunqing stared at Deng He. There were too many people there and she could not squeeze in. Meanwhile, Xue Xi was also being surrounded by a group of people. Most of the questions were: “Did you really invent the nerve acid?”

“Xue Xi, you’re simply too amazing. Can you tell us how you found it? Was it a coincidence, or were you studying this knowledge?”

“Wow, Big Boss!”

“...”

Seeing that the students were squeezing over, Director Chen’s face darkened. “I still have a few words to say to Xue Xi. You guys can leave first.”

Although everyone was curious about Xue Xi, they were even more afraid of Director Chen, so they dispersed.

After they left, Director Chen approached Xue Xi and said, “Xue Xi, look. You have such a huge talent in chemistry. Are you really not going to consider joining the Chemistry Department?”

Xue Xi: “...”

Director Chen continued, “As long as you agree, I’ll handle the rest. Don’t worry, Feng Xingshen will definitely let you off!”

Xue Xi could only say, “I’ll consider it, Director Chen.”

However, Director Chen could not wait. He hoped to quickly recruit such a talent into his department. Hence, he looked at her reluctantly and affectionately. “Then consider it quickly! Ha!”

Xue Xi: “...”

Not far away, Gu Yunqing was standing there and staring at Director Chen and Xue Xi. The senior manager of the Gu family’s company came to Gu Yunqing’s side. “Missy, it turns out that Deng He is actually a member of the Xue family’s company. This is actually easy to settle. Although the project has been successfully developed, the cost of mass production is very high. The Xue family definitely doesn’t have that much capital. Xue Xi is your schoolmate, after all. If they want to find someone to invest, we can invest in the Xue family and take a portion of the shares. We can then slowly operate the project and chase the Xue family out of the pharmaceutical industry! Or you can go talk to Xue Xi?”

Gu Yunqing snorted. “What’s there to talk to her about? She’s just a petty nouveau riche. The focus is still on Deng He! As long as we can afford to poach Deng He, everything will be easy!”

The senior manager glanced at Deng He and stuttered, “He’s just said that the real researcher is Xue Xi.”

Gu Yunqing sneered. “Do you believe whatever he says? I think he’s just giving Xue Xi a name. How can a little girl like her develop such a project? I think she is just a participant! Don’t worry about this matter. I’ll settle it!”

The executive hesitated.

Gu Yunqing frowned. “Why? Do you think I can’t handle Deng He?”

The senior manager said, “Deng He is a very stubborn chemist. Ever since the rumors about him developing nerve acid surfaced, our people have already come into contact with him, but he rejected them all.”

Gu Yunqing clenched her fists and her eyes turned cold.

It seemed that this Deng He was indeed stubborn.

Just as she was thinking, the senior manager said, “Missy, actually, what President Gu intends is for you to ask the people from that club to help you settle the matter.”

That club...

Gu Yunqing clenched her fists and sent Yu Da a WeChat message: “Can you help me?”
