Chapter 427: He Was Tricked by Song Chu Again
Old Master Gu was very busy with work. After chatting with the two for a while, he went to work.
Song Chu and Gu Yue went to watch a movie together, held hands while strolling through the mall, and had dinner outside before returning home.
They now basically took time out every month to meet and relax together.
Song Chu was originally going to the laboratory at the Agricultural University the next day, but she received a call from President Zhu, saying that many people had actually found him to ask for help.
If she went to the laboratory, it was estimated that there would be many people who would directly look for her there.
So Song Chu didn’t go to the Agricultural University. Just as she was thinking about what to do, Wei Lao called.
She asked helplessly, “Teacher, did someone find you and ask you to arrange for people to enter the factory, or to help them with site selection?”
Wei Lao laughed, “Indeed. From yesterday to today, quite a few people have come to me.”
“The news that you can arrange for people to intern at the branch pharmaceutical factory has also spread. Today, even the president and some people from other universities came to me.” He was both proud and helpless.
His student was so capable that it made him feel particularly honored, but he was also being pestered by so many people. This was happiness mixed with annoyance.
He could also understand those people’s feelings. Being able to arrange for students to intern at a branch factory of a large pharmaceutical company was such a rare opportunity that everyone wanted to seize it.
But the branch pharmaceutical factory hadn’t even been built yet, and they were already coming to him. They were a little too anxious.
Moreover, this opportunity was brought by his student. He certainly wouldn’t interfere and hold her back.
Song Chu was quite speechless. Lu Yijie was indeed fast. If he put all these underhanded tactics into his work, wouldn’t he be able to achieve something?
“Teacher, just refuse them all. Tell them that I’m not planning to do anything right now, especially regarding site selection. I won’t interfere at all. Tell them to go to the Investment Department,” she said.
Wei Lao said with a smile, “That’s what I told them, but they don’t believe me, or they’re holding onto a sliver of hope.”
“I think that when you go to class next Monday, there will definitely be a lot of people looking for you. So now there’s a good opportunity for you to avoid them.”
It wasn’t that he was afraid of those people. He knew that his student disliked trouble, so he immediately called her.
Song Chu was immediately interested, “What opportunity?”
“Next week, there will be an International Biology Symposium held in Country Y. Experts from various top international biological fields will be attending. I just received two invitation letters, and one of them is for you.”
Song Chu had previously used his address for mailing to “International Biology,” so both invitation letters were sent to him.
Wei Lao felt that he was probably riding on his student’s coattails to receive an invitation letter.
After all, he had been more or less inactive for nearly a decade and didn’t have much international recognition anymore.
This was a rare opportunity, and he hoped that Song Chu could attend, and also get some peace and quiet.
Song Chu was quite interested, “That sounds good. When do we depart?”
“I’m flexible. The official meeting is still six days away. If you want to go to Country Y early to have a look around, we can leave in two days.” Wei Lao had studied in Country Y before, so he was quite familiar with it.
Song Chu had also flown to Country Y many times, but she had never seen it in this era.
Besides, she was too lazy to deal with those people who came looking for her. Once she left the country, she would release the news, and those people would naturally give up.
“Alright, then let’s depart the day after tomorrow. I’ll have to trouble you to help with the exit procedures, Teacher. I’ll go to the laboratory tomorrow to make some arrangements.” If she wanted to avoid them, the sooner the better.
Wei Lao said with a smile, “No problem. I’ll take care of the procedures. This involves international exchange, so it will be handled quickly.”
The two chatted for a few more minutes and then hung up.
Song Chu thought for a moment and called Jacques and the other two, inviting them to dinner to finalize the contract.
The three naturally didn’t refuse and arrived on time.
โโโ
The Western restaurant Song Chu chose was opened by one of Gu Yue’s friends. Not only was it high-end, but the Western food was also quite authentic, and it had good privacy with private rooms.
Before the meal, Song Chu reviewed the contracts brought by the three and signed her name. They could be notarized tomorrow and become effective.
Uli put away the contract and looked at her, asking, “Song, is something going on?”
Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn’t have actively urged them to sign the contract.
Song Chu said truthfully, “I’m going to attend the International Biology Symposium next week. If everything goes as planned, I’ll be leaving the country the day after tomorrow. That’s why I wanted to quickly finalize the previous contract.”
As heads of large pharmaceutical companies, Uli and Brown certainly knew about the International Biology Symposium. They were both a little surprised that Song Chu had been invited.
However, given her talent and ability in biopharmaceuticals, she did indeed have the qualifications to attend.
Jacques’ eyes lit up, “Song, I also received an invitation letter. I can go with you and introduce you to some expert friends in the biological field.”
Recently, he had been laughed at a lot, with people saying that he was definitely being fooled or deceived by running over here all the time.
He was just about to introduce Song Chu to those people, to let them know how amazing she was.
He could also show off that he had already invested in Song Chu in advance, and they were definitely too late.
Song Chu certainly wanted to make more connections with experts in the biological field. She nodded with a smile, “Alright, thank you, Jacques.”
The International Biology Symposium didn’t only cover biopharmaceuticals, but also included fields like biological agriculture and biotechnology. More exchanges would definitely be beneficial for them.
Especially in the field of biological agriculture, she actually had some questions. However, the professors at the Agricultural University couldn’t provide answers. This time, she could take the opportunity to see if she could find some top international experts in biological agriculture to chat with.
She didn’t have much international fame right now. The reason she received the invitation letter was definitely because of the papers she published in ใ”International Biology”ใ and ใ”International Agricultural Science”ใ.
So if she went with her teacher, it was estimated that not many people would actively approach them. After all, many top foreign experts were very arrogant and unconventional.
With Jacques’ introduction, things would be much easier and more convenient.
Jacques raised his glass and clinked it with Song Chu’s, “I’ll quickly hand over the work I have on hand to the new person in the company tomorrow and fly to Country Y with you.”
He had long wanted to have a private chat with Song Chu about many issues in biopharmaceuticals, but Uli had been watching him too closely, giving him no chance. Now, he certainly had to seize the opportunity.
Sure enough, upon hearing the two’s agreement, Uli and Brown’s expressions weren’t very good. They secretly cursed Jacques for being too opportunistic and shameless.
But they weren’t experts in this field, nor had they received invitation letters, so they could only watch Jacques be smug.
The two were both thinking that when Song Chu returned, they must deepen their relationship with her further, and not let Jacques gain the upper hand.
The next day, Song Chu went to the Agricultural University and arranged the next stage of experiments with the professors.
As expected, many people came directly to the Agricultural University to find her. So after arranging the experiments, she slipped away.
Her teacher was very efficient. The next day, they boarded a plane together to Country Y.
Those who knew about this were very upset and disappointed. Song Chu’s departure was really ill-timed. They couldn’t find her, so they had to turn to Sheng Qingyang.
Seeing Sheng Qingyang being constantly sought after, asked for favors, not only was he very prominent, but he could also expand his network of connections.
Lu Yijie felt extremely uncomfortable and even more resentful. He had been tricked by Song Chu again, and instead, Sheng Qingyang had benefited.
