Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan entered Mr. Lambert’s office.
Imdiately a secretary served coffee.
“Why did you think to co to Germany this ti? Did you bring Xiuyuan here specially to show ?” Mr. Lambert was like an elder, gentle and loving.
He was rumored to be very old-fashioned and unreasonable. He was a serious workaholic.
If they saw him like this, they would probably find the rumors very unbelievable.
“That’s right. I brought Xiuyuan here to show you. I also wanted to show you my good taste.”
Mr. Lambert laughed out loud. “Very good. The person our Shi Jin likes can’t be wrong.”
He patted Fu Xiuyuan on the shoulder. “Young man, treat our Shi Jin well.”
“Mr. Lambert, you don’t have to remind , this is sothing I should do,” Fu Xiuyuan replied with a nod.
Mr. Lambert sat down and said sternly, “Look back at this research.”
He handed a file of information to Shi Jin.
“Okay, I’ll read it later.”
“This ti our institute here has developed several new drugs and is looking for partners,” Mr. Lambert said. “So, Shi Jin, are you interested in working together?”
Shi Jin had co this ti to cooperate with him. She did not expect him to ntion it first and imdiately nodded. “Alright, let’s talk about the details of the cooperation.”
They talked happily all afternoon.
They already knew each other very well. After a simple conversation about work, they finalized their cooperation.
The rest of the ti was just small talk.
At dinnerti, Du Xian invited them warmly, “Let’s go eat. I know an authentic firewood chicken place from Country S. Even the chicken was flown in from the small courtyard of the dostic farrs.”
Mr. Lambert thought of sothing. “I also have an appointnt with a friend recomnded by a friend. You two go ahead.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to accompany you, Eldest Senior Brother, but I really want to spend so alone ti with my husband, okay?” Shi Jin looked at him with a smile and then at Fu Xiuyuan seriously.
Du Xian said, “Why should I eat? I’m full from dog food. Alright, you guys go ahead. I’ll find my own friends.”
“Make ti for a nice al with tomorrow,” Mr. Lambert said to Shi Jin. “Don’t feed dog food then.”
“Yes sir!”
Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan walked out and said with a smile, “It’s really been a long ti since Eldest Senior Brother returned to the country. He actually called that lunch an authentic S Nation dish. Whose authentic stead fish head with diced hot red peppers still has tomato sauce and peanut butter?”
This was why Shi Jin did not want to eat his so-called authentic firewood chicken. Shi Jin was afraid that the firewood chicken would have cheese in it.
Fu Xiuyuan laughed. “It’s hard on them living in a foreign land.”
“That’s right. I rember Mr. Lambert also said that he originally grew up in Country S before coming to Germany. They should all want to go back, but because of work, they still have to stay,” Shi Jin said with a sigh.
“When we work with them in the future, they’ll have more opportunities to co ho.”
They ca down in ti to see Charles and Yue Yu coming up the stairs.
Shi Jin nodded briefly and went straight to the parking lot with Fu Xiuyuan.
Because they weren’t in a hurry, the two of them had the leisurely feeling of slowly enjoying the mont. After they slowly got into the car, before Fu Xiuyuan could start it, he saw Charles and Yue Yu arrive at the parking lot.
It ant that Mr. Lambert did indeed see them, but did not spend more than ten minutes before and after.
It was obvious that whatever they were trying to achieve, they probably hadn’t.
The disappointnt was plain on Yue Yu’s face.
“It looks like Mr. Lambert turned them down,” Shi Jin said quietly.
Fu Xiuyuan’s eyes narrowed. “Mr. Lambert probably won’t like the way the Yue family does things.”

The next day.
Mr. Lambert treated Shi Jin to dinner.
This ti, he found an Asian food restaurant that included several types of common Asian food. The taste was authentic.
The mont Shi Jin took a bite, she knew that this was different from those famous restaurants. They were really serious about cooking.
Du Xian was indignant. “Mr. Lambert, you’re biased! You didn’t even bring here to eat before!”
“I was busy before.”
“Hmph!” Du Xian was angry as he ate to make up for his injured heart.
“Eat more,” said Mr. Lambert, helping him to his food.
Du Xian continued to turn his grief and indignation into an appetite.
Shi Jin smiled and said, “When you guys return to the country next ti, Xiuyuan and I will definitely accompany you guys to eat and play for a few days.”
“Shi Jin, your family is doing well, right?”
“They’re all fine. They’re all on track now, compared to before.”
‘That’s good. I hear your whole family has got back together since your dad’s leg got better. It’s still all down to your abilities.’
Shi Jin’s heart was touched. “Mr. Lambert, I’ve never heard you ntion your family…”
Du Xian had yet to swallow the food in his mouth and stepped heavily on Shi Jin.
Shi Jin did not finish.
Mr. Lambert, on the other hand, smiled brightly. “Aren’t you my family? It’s rare to have such good students. Co, have a drink with .”
Everyone raised their glasses and laughed together. “Okay, cheers.”
After settling the matters in Germany, Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan returned to the country together.
Gu Jingyuan ca to the airport to pick them up.
“Mr. Lambert has agreed to cooperate?” Gu Jingyuan was pleasantly surprised.
“That’s right. Xiuyuan and I took action, were you afraid we wouldn’t be able to handle it?”
Gu Jingyuan smiled and said, “Of course I believe you. I’m just afraid that Old Madam Yue will interfere.”
“Don’t worry. This ti, Xiuyuan will use the European companies to work with them. Old Madam Yue’s reach is not that long.”
“The new dicine has been developed. Of course, it has to be provided to its our citizens first, but it’s also for the benefit of the world. Old Madam Yue’s actions might not be to leave it for the citizens to use. Instead, she wants to monopolize it and let these patents belong to the Yue family.” Gu Jingyuan hit the nail on the head.
Shi Jin pressed her lips together. “What she could do twenty years ago might not be possible now.”
“Yes, it’s all thanks to you two this ti.”
“It’s our duty,” Fu Xiuyuan said lowly.
Back at Orchid Pavilion, Shi Jin was still flipping through the information from more than twenty years ago.
Fu Xiuyuan sat beside her and saw her frown.
“So that’s how it was back then. Grandpa had a research institute that studied grains, and Uncle had a research institute that studied dicine. The entire Li family was at the top of the four families. However, Old Madam Yue did not want to see the Li family possess two important technologies, so she deliberately suppressed them.”
