The voice of the middle-aged man sounded sowhat familiar to Lin Jie.
But for the mont, he just couldn't recall who the owner of that voice was.
At this mont, the voice of Jian Jia ca from the outer office, "Dr. Lin is currently unavailable to see guests. If you have any matters, you can tell first."
"Then... could you please report to him for ? I am Li Ao'ge from Huagang Group, wishing to et Expert Lin."
It was actually him!
Lin Jie couldn't help but feel surprised.
The last ti this big boss ca over, he was so arrogant that he claid he didn't need appointnts even to see governnt officials. Why had he suddenly beco so polite this ti?
Cheng Xingguang and Yuan Guangxi, sitting in the office, had so understanding of the conflict between Li Ao'ge and Lin Jie.
They also knew that Li Ao'ge was a man with a strong personality.
Cheng Xingguang gently reminded: "Perhaps his attitude suddenly softened because he has a request for you."
Lin Jie stood up and said softly, "I'll go out to see him. The other party is also a person of significance; avoiding him or deliberately making him wait would be lacking in grace."
"I'll go with you!" An Kexin also stood up.
Opening the inner office door, Lin Jie saw Li Ao'ge standing alone in front of Jian Jia's desk.
Lin Jie spoke first, in a neither warm nor indifferent tone: "Chairman Li, hello, we et again."
"This ti, you co for?"
Hearing Lin Jie ask so directly, Li Ao'ge forced a smile, stepped forward two steps, and cupped his hands: "I ca this ti to specifically congratulate you, Expert Lin, on making another groundbreaking scientific research achievent that has caused a global sensation."
"I also heard that Expert Lin has been looking for a suitable location to open a private club to host dical salons."
His smile beca much more natural as he continued: "I thought of leasing Qushui Garden to you for free, Expert Lin, as a modest contribution to the developnt of dical science."
Li Ao'ge extended two fingers and continued: "Twenty years!"
"Expert Lin, we can sign a twenty-year lease agreent without charging any rent."
He further explained: "This is, firstly, to congratulate you, Expert Lin, for your outstanding contributions to dicine, and secondly, to express my apology."
"Regarding so matters surrounding Qushui Garden, it was my error, and very inappropriate of ."
"Expert Lin, I am sorry."
Lin Jie did not show joy; instead, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Chairman Li, you so abruptly present with such a generous gift worth tens of millions, I feel uneasy and dare not accept it."
"Whatever it is, speak openly. Please go ahead and tell what it is, Chairman Li."
Li Ao'ge showed a slightly bitter expression on his face.
Coming this ti to bow and apologize to Lin Jie was because the situation was pressing; he had no choice.
Since knowing the exact reason for losing to a competitor on a project, despite feeling indignant and unwilling, Li Ao'ge had dispatched people to closely monitor any news about Lin Jie.
He understood very well that wanting to overwhelmingly surpass competitors in technology and service to gain a significant competitive advantage was far from easy.
Even though Huagang Group heavily invested in research and developnt, producing results was not sothing achievable in a short span.
Moreover, competitors wouldn't be stagnant; as one progresses, so does the other.
It could be foreseen that Huagang Group and its competitors would remain in a neck-and-neck competition for an extended ti, and due to Lin Jie's involvent, the balance of victory would increasingly tilt towards the competitors.
Upon learning today that Lin Jie once again made another major scientific achievent, Li Ao'ge could not sit still any longer.
Projects undertaken by Huagang Group were mostly large-scale infrastructure ones, requiring dealings with the governnt or companies with strong governnt ties.
The higher Lin Jie's reputation, the more the competitors would exploit it, worsening Huagang Group's competitive environnt.
After much deliberation, Li Ao'ge finally decided to resolve this from the root and personally ca to apologize and reconcile with Lin Jie.
After all, Huagang Group was the result of Li Ao'ge's toil, and there were thousands of employees relying on Huagang Group for their livelihood, so Li Ao'ge had to consider the future of Huagang Group and the lives of the employees.
"Expert Lin, I did co this ti indeed with a request."
Li Ao'ge presented a reason he had thought of before coming, "The company has a hardworking and loyal senior technician who has been working with since I took over the company."
He spoke with a sigh: "In another half a year, he will retire. But so ti ago, he was diagnosed with malignant stomach cancer."
"I want to ask you, Expert Lin, to help save him."
Lin Jie frowned even more deeply.
Specifically for a loyal old employee, a strong-willed big boss worth at least billions, lowering himself to apologize to him, and offering Qushui Garden for a twenty-year free lease.
Lin Jie didn't believe this reason; how could there be such a good boss?
The twenty-year lease of Qushui Garden is worth at least two or three tens of millions; casually using two or three million to help that old employee with dical expenses would be enough to make the employee's family grateful forever.
Lin Jie suddenly realized that this was rely a cover-up reason provided by Li Ao'ge for the real cause.
As for the real reason Li Ao'ge ca to compromise, is it necessary to know?
Speaking of it, regarding the events surrounding Qushui Garden and Li Ao'ge, I haven't suffered any loss. Instead, I've gained a lot while Li Ao'ge is the one who has incurred losses.
With this thought, Lin Jie's brow relaxed.
Now that the usage rights of Qushui Garden have co back to my hands?
Lin Jie thought of An Kexin's previous idea of holding a wedding at Qushui Garden, and couldn't help but glance at An Kexin.
Seeing her eyes sparkle with joy, Lin Jie casually said, "Boss Li, are you really here just to ask to treat that technician's illness? No other requests?"
"It really is just for this!"
Li Ao'ge reiterated, and then tentatively asked, "If Expert Lin doesn't mind, regarding the donation of Qushui Garden's usage rights, could we hold a small signing ceremony?"
Lin Jie pondered for a mont and said, "Have that technician co to the hospital to complete the admission formalities tomorrow morning."
"As for the signing ceremony..."
Lin Jie paused, noticing Li Ao'ge's tense expression, and chuckled lightly: "The shorter, the better. I will be very busy recently and don't have ti to waste..."
After seeing Li Ao'ge off, Lin Jie and An Kexin returned to the inner office, and they heard Cheng Xingguang shaking his head and laughing: "This Li Ao'ge, seeing Expert Lin you are at your peak with unstoppable montum, used an excuse to co over and soften relations."
"However, Li Ao'ge is still stingy. What's the point of donating a twenty-year free lease? He should donate Qushui Garden directly."
Lin Jie waved his hand and laughed, "Dean Cheng, if he really donated Qushui Garden, regardless of the reason, I wouldn't dare accept it, as it was sothing they bought for three to four hundred million after all."
"Donating a twenty-year free lease is just right."
"Now the dical salon finally has an appropriate venue."
Speaking of this, Lin Jie glanced at An Kexin again, giving her a knowing look.
An Kexin gave him a charming glare.
Yuan Guangxi cleared his throat, handed over the sheet with the list on it, and said, "Expert Lin, about this contact list?"
Lin Jie took the list and passed it to Ling ngjiao, saying, "The follow-up tracking and confirmation, leave it to my studio to handle specifically."
He then told Ling ngjiao, "For this matter, I will have Zhou Ziyan or people from the Zhou Family work with you on this."
"Regarding the funds from the transfer of the inducer, make detailed records and combine them with the funds for the tumor induction research project. Once the second phase of the project launches on a large scale, expenses will be a bottomless pit..."
Cheng Xingguang shook his head, chuckling as he said, "Expert Lin, the therapy trial you are hosting now is well-known."
"Believe it or not, for the second phase of the treatnt trial, you won't need to spend your own money. There will be many tumor patients waving their checks, crying and demanding to join your trial."
Lin Jie pondered for a mont, thinking this was indeed reasonable.
He paused for a mont and said, "The therapy trial I'm conducting has a relatively long treatnt process, and not all families can afford such an expensive treatnt cost."
"The saved money can be converted into relief funds to support those tumor patients from impoverished families..."
At this ti, Chen Qiuhua suddenly walked into the office.
After greeting everyone, he said to Lin Jie, "I ntioned to you earlier that I had a classmate from Sweden, right?"
Lin Jie recalled and nodded, "Yes, you did ntion it. What's up?"
Chen Qiuhua chuckled and said, "That Swedish classmate just contacted . Guess what he contacted for?"
Lin Jie said impatiently, "Stop keeping in suspense, just tell !"
"I've done over nine hours of surgery today and haven't even had dinner yet. I'm both exhausted and starving, no ti to ss around with you."
Chen Qiuhua said seriously, "Professor Alexandersson from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden!"
He explained, "Dr. Alexandersson saw that article in 'The Lancet' and learned that you are conducting experintal treatnts on various solid tumors."
"He's been repeatedly trying to contact you via phone, email, and other ans, but maybe there are too many people trying to contact you, so he hasn't gotten a response from you."
"Anxious and flustered, he reached out to connections and eventually got hold of my classmate and through him contacted ."
Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh.
Cai Yun specifically ntioned this person to , suggesting that I win the Nobel Prize in Physiology through treating his wife's cervical cancer.
In the end, considering various factors, I gave up on the idea.
Unexpectedly, after all this back and forth, the other party ca to of their own accord.
"Give Dr. Alexandersson's contact information, I will reach out to him right now..."
