Chapter 506: One More
Thor?
Isn’t this the Dean of the Chemistry Departnt of Scanford University?!
Of course, Xue Xi rembered him. After all, this person had persistently invited her to go to Scanford’s Chemistry Departnt when she participated in the IMO competition.
But why did he call her?
Xue Xi also replied in English, “Hello.”
Thor then said, “I’m in China’s capital, so I wanted to et you. Is that okay?”
“Sure.”
...
...
Hence, the next day, after Xue Sheng woke up, ate breakfast, and was about to leave, he saw that his daughter, Xue Xi, had already changed into her clothes and was following him.
Her hand was still wrapped in gauze. She stared at him. “Dad, I’ll go with you.”
Xue Sheng: “?”
He was stunned. Then, he rembered that his daughter had already grown up. Furthermore, the person in charge that he was going to et was said to have a high status in the chemistry industry. It was normal for his daughter to want to et him since she was so interested in chemistry.
At the thought of this, Xue Sheng nodded. “Alright, follow .”
The two of them went downstairs. The car was already waiting downstairs.
Uncle Li was driving. In the front passenger seat, the beautiful secretary, Xiao Song, was dressed in formal attire and preparing so docunts. When she saw that Xue Sheng did not get into the car after arriving, she opened the car door and carefully helped Missy up. Xiao Song greeted, “Missy, long ti no see!”
Xue Xi nodded at her.
He heard from Xue Sheng that Xiao Song had been very loyal to him ever since she betrayed him last ti. It seed like this person was indeed useful.
However, after Xiao Song took a few glances at her, she started addressing Xue Sheng. “CEO Xue, it wasn’t easy for us to set up a eting with this person today. For this, I pushed aside a lunch appointnt for you to especially accompany him.”
Xiao Song’s tone was gentle, and she had the poise and confidence of a graduate from an elite university. “Although this professor is not the person in charge of importing raw materials, his position in the chemistry industry is extraordinary. If he can speak up for us, then the price of raw materials will drop.”
Xue Sheng nodded. Afraid that Xue Xi did not understand, he explained to her, “The raw materials for the minerals that you used when developing nerve acid were all imported from Country M. Their country has a monopoly. If you want this raw material, you’d have to spend money to buy them. And this thing, to put it bluntly, is actually just a rock from a mountain in their country. According to what I know, several mountains in Country M are made of this special material and contain a large amount of it. Other than them, no other place in the world has discovered this kind of thing.”
Xue Xi suddenly understood and nodded.
To put it bluntly, it was a material as cheap as a rock, and they only needed a small part of it to make nerve acid.
The price was completely under the control of Country M. It could be priced as high or as low as they pleased.
Upon hearing Xue Sheng’s explanation, Xiao Song was stunned before asking, “CEO Xue, are you bringing Missy to negotiate?”
Xue Sheng nodded. “Yes. Such scenes are rare. I’ll bring Xixi to see the world.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Xue Xi and said, “Xixi, what if, say, Country M will only lower the price if they could get the formula for nerve acid? What should we do?”
Xue Sheng had long wanted to ask this question.
The R & D patent for nerve acid was the basis of their negotiations.
Xue Sheng planned to negotiate with the people from Country M. The company would make them as many drugs as they wanted free of charge and guarantee that they would be able to export a small amount each year.
But he also knew that the other party wanted the formula more.
This was sothing his daughter had worked hard to make. If Xue Xi said no, he would reject it even if he could not negotiate the price.
Others being unable to afford dicine? Was it more important than his daughter?
Xiao Song also pricked up her ears.
The research results were what everyone valued the most. Would Missy be unwilling to divulge them?
At this thought, Xue Xi slowly said, “Sure.”
Xiao Song: “...”
She felt that she knew too little about the Xue family.
Sotis, Boss Xue was too righteous and always acted on his emotions. She didn’t expect Missy to be so tolerant for the sake of thousands of people.
Just as Xiao Song was silently reciting a poem about integrity and righteousness in her heart, she heard Xue Xi say calmly, “Dad, don’t worry that our family wouldn’t be the only one who’ll have the formula. I’ll just develop a new drug for you.”
Xiao Song: “???”
Missy, do you think R & D is like making stead buns?
After eating one, did she think she could casually steam another one?
However, their CEO Xue cooperated with Missy and said, “Alright. With Xixi around, I believe our family will have more patents in the future!”
“...”
Xiao Song remained silent, thinking that this family must have gone crazy.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel where Professor Thor was staying.
Professor Thor was a very elite talent. He was also being protected in China and was being received very well in all aspects.
When they arrived downstairs, Xue Sheng stood at the door with Xue Xi. Xiao Song went to et Thor’s butler.
The butler asked, “May I know who you are?”
Xiao Song hurriedly said, “Licheng Pharmaceutical Company. We have an appointnt with Professor Thor. Can we go up?”
After hearing this, the man said, “I’m sorry, Professor Thor is waiting for a very important guest. He’s not free right now.”
Xiao Song hurriedly said, “It’s okay. We can wait for a while.”
That person nodded. “Alright, please have a seat.”
Xue Xi did not hear their conversation. She saw Xiao Song return and ask everyone to sit on the sofa first. Xiao Song looked at Xue Xi and could not help but remind her, “Miss, this Professor Thor is the world’s most famous chemist. When we et him later, you must be more polite to him.”
She was really scared.
What if Missy brags again?
Xue Xi: “...Oh.”
The three of them sat on the sofa and waited for half an hour, but they were still not invited in. Xue Xi felt that it was too much of a waste of ti. If they did not finish talking soon, she would no longer be in the mood to read.
Hence, Xue Xi stood up and walked toward the butler.
Xiao Song followed her warily and asked, “Missy, where are you going?”
Xue Xi: “I’ll go and ask how long we have to wait.”
Professor Thor clearly said yesterday that as long as she was here, she could just go upstairs.
Xiao Song was scared out of her wits. “Missy, don’t rush them. We can only wait for such a professor. It would be impolite for you to ask for him. Besides, we’re here today to ask for help...”
Before she could finish, Xue Xi had already walked toward the butler and said, “Hello. I have an appointnt with Professor Thor. When can I go upstairs?”
The butler was stunned when he saw Xue Xi. When he noticed her red hair, he asked hesitantly, “May I know who you are?”
“Xue Xi.”
