Chapter 2857: Chapter 2857: Yet Another Wave of Slick Maneuvers
After the alchemy session ended, Lin Yi returned to the bus.
As for the subsequent matters, they were handled by Zhang Youfu and Zhou Jing; he wasn’t involved at all.
At the same time, Li Yongnian and one of his fellow disciples followed Jiang Zhongzhe and others, with the purpose of supervision.
But sitting on the bus, Jiang Zhongzhe remained silent, always trying to recall things about Lin Yi.
But he couldn’t remember.
Soon, the group returned to the Research Institute, and Jiang Zhongzhe arranged for the lab techs to get busy quickly.
After about two hours, they finally entered the formal testing phase, and Jiang Zhongzhe was somewhat at ease.
"Hello, Daoist Master."
During his free time, Jiang Zhongzhe approached Li Yongnian, greeting him politely.
"Hello, Professor Jiang, hello." Li Yongnian was a bit flattered, surprised that Jiang Zhongzhe would take the initiative to speak with him.
"The person who conducted the alchemy today is your uncle-master, right?"
"Yes."
"From what I’ve observed, your uncle-master seems to be quite capable, why did he become a Daoist priest?"
"We can’t really understand the thoughts of wealthy people, but we all guess that uncle-master came here just to relax," Li Yongnian said:
"After all, the troubles of rich people are much bigger than ours."
"Do you know what his profession is?"
"I genuinely don’t know the specifics, but it seems to be related to chips," Li Yongnian said:
"I heard he used to be a doctor, in short, we can’t understand some of his actions."
"Used to be a doctor!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhongzhe was suddenly enlightened!
He hurriedly went to the computer, typing furiously, checking something unknown.
About ten minutes later, an expression of shock appeared on Jiang Zhongzhe’s face, taking a long time to recover.
"Professor Jiang? Your complexion doesn’t look good, are you feeling unwell?" a female lab tech asked.
"No, I’m fine."
Responding briefly, Jiang Zhongzhe quickly stood up and went to Li Yongnian again.
"Daoist Master, may I ask where you and your uncle-master are staying now?"
"We’re staying at the Li Hotel."
"Okay, thank you, Daoist Master."
With his thanks, Jiang Zhongzhe hurriedly left and got into his car, driving towards the Li Hotel.
...
At this moment, Lin Yi and Lee Yongjin were having a meal in a hotel booth.
"Your so-called alchemy activity caused quite a stir, it even had a live broadcast."
While eating, Lee Yongjin said as she held her phone.
"This has nothing to do with me; it’s all handled by your people," Lin Yi said:
"They are eager to make this known to everyone, then prove that the ’Cantong Qi’ I have is fake, just to find some sense of existence."
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Lee Yongjin felt deeply embarrassed.
Living in a country with such petty people made her feel ashamed.
Knock Knock Knock——
While the two were talking, the booth door was knocked.
"Come in," Lee Yongjin responded.
The door opened, and the manager of the hotel walked in from outside.
"Director Li, there’s a person named Jiang Zhongzhe outside who wants to see Mr. Lin Yi."
"Jiang Zhongzhe? Why is he here to see me?" Lin Yi muttered.
"You know this person?" Lee Yongjin interjected.
"He was today’s judge," Lin Yi said:
"At this time, he should be in the lab, too busy to see me."
"Why think so much about it, just call him in and we’ll find out."
Saying this, Lee Yongjin gave the manager a look, who understood immediately and brought him in within minutes.
Meeting Lin Yi again, Jiang Zhongzhe’s attitude became even more enthusiastic, shaking Lin Yi’s hand warmly as he entered.
"Hello, Principal Lin, I’m a pharmacology professor from Capital University Hospital. I’ve read almost all your articles."
"Hmm? Since you know my identity, I won’t deny it, but I haven’t published any articles at all."
"Haven’t published?" Jiang Zhongzhe was also stunned, "Then the articles online..."
Lin Yi’s eyes shifted as if he suddenly understood something.
"The articles you’ve seen all have Li Chuhan’s name, right?"
"Yes."
Now Lin Yi understood what was going on.
He taught her many skills and experiences in this area; she must have compiled them, put herself as the first author, and him as the second author, and published them in academic journals.
"Those papers were all published by her on my behalf."
"Those aren’t the important part, it’s mainly your techniques and theories that have really opened a door for us."
Though old in age, Jiang Zhongzhe’s eyes had a fangirl look, making Lin Yi quite uncomfortable.
"It’s alright, not as exaggerated as you say."
Sitting next to him, Lee Yongjin ate silently, inwardly complaining.
How can this guy know everything?
"Principal Lin, may I ask, the pills you refined today, are they your latest research results?"
"To some extent, yes." Lin Yi said:
"But given your status, visiting me at this time might not be too appropriate."
"Nothing inappropriate; I make my own decisions," Jiang Zhongzhe said:
"Don’t worry, Principal Lin, I’ll ensure a fair result from the test."
"Good," Lin Yi smiled and said:
"Thank you, Professor Jiang."
"You’re too kind, Principal Lin, this is what I should do... Ring ring ring..."
At this moment, Jiang Zhongzhe’s phone rang, and when he checked, it was from Li Xuanzhi.
"Why is he calling me?"
Muttering to himself, Jiang Zhongzhe ignored the call, not wanting it to interrupt his talk with Lin Yi.
"If I’m not mistaken, he probably wants you to tamper with this matter, exaggerate the effects, and discredit us."
"That’s impossible, I absolutely won’t allow such a thing to happen!" said Jiang Zhongzhe.
"Don’t." Lin Yi chuckled and said:
"This could be a great opportunity, it’d be a shame to miss it."
Jiang Zhongzhe listened, utterly confused, not understanding the meaning.
But Lee Yongjin knew, Lin Yi was about to start his antics again.
"Such big characters, they will surely offer tangible benefits to bribe you, don’t be shy, accept whatever they give." Lin Yi said:
"But when the results come out, just tell the truth."
"Uh..." Jiang Zhongzhe looked troubled, "Isn’t that inappropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate, someone’s got your back."
"Got my back?"
Following Lin Yi’s gaze, Jiang Zhongzhe saw Lee Yongjin and was instantly shocked!
He was so excited earlier that he hadn’t noticed the person sitting opposite Lin Yi!
He never expected that the person dining with Principal Lin Yi would be the renowned Eldest Princess of the Li family!
