Chapter 682 - 682 The Thankless Zhao Wen
However in order to avoid unnecessary conflict, she simply said,
“Let me introduce everyone. The person standing beside me is Lin Yi, Mr. Lin. He’s a famous pharmaceutical expert in Huaxia and an important member of our research center.”
“You’re younger than the photo.” Miller was the first to voice his opinion.
“Coincidentally, we were just discussing him. As the person in charge of this research center, I have something to say in advance.”
“Mr. Miller, if you have anything to say, you can just state it.”
Miller looked at Lin Yi and said.
“I’ve already heard about you. Since you’re here, you have to follow the rules. You can start as an assistant. You can learn a lot from us, but I don’t want you to think that you’re very impressive because of your special circumstances. Mr. Lin, do you understand what I mean?”
“To translate what you mean into human language. I can do odd jobs here, but I’m not needed for important things, right?”
“That’s not what I meant. I just hope that you’ll be humble when you come here. You’ll learn a lot from us,” Miller said.
“But if you think of it that way, it’s fine.”
Lin Yi smiled at Zhao Wen. “In that case, can I leave now?”
“Leave?”
“The R&D centre doesn’t need me. There’s no point in me being here.”
If it was possible, Zhao Wen really wanted to fire these people.
The purpose of establishing this research center was to rope Lin Yi in and develop new drugs.
Despite this, these people actually told him not to participate in the development of the drug.
She couldn’t let this to happen.
“Mr. Lin, don’t be in a hurry to leave.” Zhao Wen pulled Lin Yi back and looked at Miller and the others seriously.
“Although I’m not the administrative head of the research and development center, there’s something I want to reiterate. Mr. Lin is part of the research and development staff here. From the moment this centre opened its doors, Mr. Lin’s status has been cemented. He’s not any inferior to Mr. Miller and Mr. Mitsui. I hope nobody will get confused about this.”
“Secondly, I hope everyone understands that without Mr. Lin, this research and development center would not have been established.”
“Oh my God, what did you say? His status is as high as mine and Mitsui’s?!” Miller said with an exaggerated expression.
“Miss Zhao, you have to know that I’m a tenured professor at Hallard University while Mr. Mitsui is a professor at BIT, and we’re both winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine. This young man is nothing. Can he enjoy the same treatment as us just because he read a few Huaxian medicine books?”
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Mitsui cleared his throat. “Miss Zhao, I hope you can make yourself clear. Don’t deliberately exaggerate his abilities just because you’re both Huaxian. In the face of modern science, such an approach is immoral.”
When facing Lin Yi, Zhao Wen might be a little lacking.
However, facing these stubborn people, Zhao Wen was not as nervous.
“There’s no need to say anything about your prestige in the medical world, but I’m not exaggerating Lin Yi’s ability,” Zhao Wen said.
“For the past six months, you’ve been discussing how to purify alteplase, but what is the progress like? Isn’t your research still fruitless?”
“We’re just discussing the most feasible solution,” Mitsui said.
“But whether it’s Mr. Miller’s method or yours, neither is very effective.” Zhao Wen said.
“You said that using your method can increase the purity, but the best time will only produce 65% of the output, right?”
“Also, Mr. Miller, you’ve always insisted on your idea. You said that you can increase production, but you can only extract 0.03% of the alteplase, right? This is nothing to the huge medicine market, is it?”
“We just encountered a bottleneck in the level of science. As time passes, the level of technology will also increase. The amount and purity of the output will naturally also increase,” Miller explained. “Therefore, the problem is not with us.”
“But I think Mr. Lin has the ability to find a better solution or substitute.”
“F*ck.”
Lin Yi cursed in his heart. Zhao Wen was a tigress. Wasn’t she betraying her teammates?
The reason why Zhao Wen said this was because she had complete faith in Lin Yi’s ability.
In just a month, he had developed 25 imported medicines. There was no doubting his ability.
At this moment, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to use Huaxian medicine to find a substitute for alteplase.
Miller shrugged and said nonchalantly,
“Then we look forward to Mr. Lin producing new results. But before that, this laboratory is still under my jurisdiction. If he wants to work here, he has to listen to me.”
“According to you, if I can solve this problem, will I have the final say in this research and development center?”
“Of course, in here, strength speaks for itself.”
Zhao Wen’s heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling about this.
She didn’t doubt Lin Yi’s ability, but if this research and development center fell into his hands, Pfizer and the six pharmaceutical companies’ control and authority would greatly decrease!
“Mr. Miller, you have no right to make such a bet with Mr. Lin.”
Lin Yi turned around and looked at Zhao Wen. This woman was really smart. She saw through his thoughts at a glance.
“Miss Zhao, what are you talking about?” Miller said. “I’m the person in charge here. Why are you acting like the boss?”
At this moment, Mitsui, who had been watching coldly, also said,
“You’re just Pfizer’s head for the Asia-Pacific region. You have no right to interfere in this. I hope you stay out of it.”
Lin Yi shook his head. Zhao Wen was really pitiful. Everything she did was clearly correct. Why didn’t anyone understand her?
“Don’t talk about her, I accept this challenge,” Lin Yi said.
“If you can extract alteplase that is purer also larger in quantity than either of us, we’ll put you in charge of this laboratory. Otherwise, you’ll have to learn from one of our assistants.”
...
“Sure.”
“Alright then. You can use whatever you want in the experiment. We won’t set a time limit. One or two years is fine as long as you surpass us in terms of results.”
“It won’t take that long.”
Lin Yi said, “The thing in your hand should be called Snow Lotus Grass, right? Go prepare 500 grams. I’ll do it on the spot. The results will be out soon.”
“What did you say? You want to do it now?” Zhao Wen was surprised.
Lin Yi nodded. “I’m already here. Do you want me to come back to do it again in the future?”
“But this isn’t the kind of thing you do right now, is it? Don’t you need help from someone else? And it’s not like the results will be out any time soon.”
