Genius Club

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Authorization

“`

Lin Xian was somewhat puzzled.

He removed the first page of the authorization document, and, as he expected, below it were various experimental data and reports, likely providing precautions for preparing this chemical substance:

“Didn’t you say that we should consider selling this chemical substance only after the hibernation pod filling liquid is completely finished?”

Professor Xu Yun chuckled and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:

“I’ve been working in this area for a long time, and just by looking at that manuscript you sent earlier, I knew its authenticity.”

“Not to mention that now you’ve helped me find and correct the missing pieces and erroneous formulas. With these standard answers in front of me, I can very soon finalize the hibernation pod filling liquid. Maybe tonight… perhaps you’ll receive good news from me.”

“So making the hibernation pod filling liquid is just a matter of time, hence selling this by-product now or in a few days later, what difference does it make?”

Lin Xian turned back and glanced at the “Exclusive Authorization Document”:

“But Teacher Xu, there’s no mention of the price or the profit share in your authorization document. And the section for the authorizer here…”

Professor Xu Yun simply folded the authorization document, put it back with the other materials into the document bag, and stuffed it into Lin Xian’s arms:

“Since I’ve already given you the exclusive rights, it now fully belongs to you. Naturally, the right to profits is yours as well. You can decide how much you want to sell it for.”

“As for the price I sold it to you…”

Professor Xu Yun patted the manuscript Lin Xian had brought:

“Haven’t you already paid for it? More than enough!”

…@@novelbin@@

Then, without giving Lin Xian a chance to respond, Professor Xu Yun pushed him out of the laboratory and closed the door:

“Just make up the formal authorization document later, give those materials to your company’s R&D department, they will understand them.”

With that, he shut the laboratory door and resumed his research.

“…”

Lin Xian looked at the thick document bag in his hands, the surprise came too unexpectedly.

According to what Zhao Yingjun had said earlier, just one authorization was worth a million US dollars, not to mention the subsequent sales profit share.

Suddenly, he had become a multimillionaire.

However, this was also an act of kindness from Professor Xu Yun, or even gratitude. It would be impolite to refuse outright.

Moreover…

“Once Professor Xu Yun really succeeds in researching the hibernation pod filling liquid, what with Nobel Prizes and national subsidies pouring in, the whole world will treasure him. I guess he won’t be short of money.”

After thinking it through without any concerns, Lin Xian decided to accept this kindness.

This was truly an unexpected gain.

It just goes to show that good things come to those who wait.

Lin Xian took a taxi back to the company to attend the morning meeting.

…

“I should’ve taken the subway.”

Lin Xian had underestimated the traffic on a Monday morning around the university town.

He thought taking a taxi would be faster to the company, but it turned out to be counterproductive, as he was stuck in traffic for over an hour.

By the time he finally arrived at the company, the morning meeting hosted by Zhao Yingjun had already begun.

“…As expected, I’m late.”

Lin Xian knocked on the conference room door cautiously. The finance team leader, who was reporting, halted abruptly.

Lin Xian opened the door, meeting the gaze of Zhao Yingjun:

“I’m sorry, President Zhao, I’m late.”

He pointed to the document bag in his arms:

“This morning I went to—”

“Sit down first. You can explain when it’s your turn to report,” Zhao Yingjun cut him off and then looked at the finance team leader, signaling her to continue her report on the previous week’s work.

The finance team leader resumed her report where she had left off.

With no other choice, Lin Xian quietly closed the conference room door, walked around to the back, to his seat at the very end, and sat down quietly.

“Daring to be late for the morning meeting, quite bold, brother.”

“`

The logistics team leader leaned over and whispered a sentence, not daring to turn his head, still pretending to be intently listening to the presentation.

Lin Xian could only smile helplessly.

He didn’t want to be late either. Who would have expected the university town to be so congested?

Soon, the finance team leader finished his report, and it was the R&D team leader’s turn.

The R&D team leader was there to complain, saying that it was simply impossible to develop a competitive new product within such limited time; if they were to make do with those immature products, it would instead affect the Rhein brand image and even the image of MX Company. If it really didn’t work out, they should postpone the product launch.

Following him, the marketing team leader, the publicity team leader, and the advertising team leader all poured out their grievances.

Over and over, they expressed that without Professor Xu Yun’s authorization, the Rhein brand had no competitive edge at all, and it was very likely to be lost in the crowd. Between the lines, they still hoped that Zhao Yingjun would take back his previous statement, hoping to make a further effort with Professor Xu Yun…

The morale in the entire conference room had plummeted to an all-time low.

There were sighs all around.

But even as the target of everyone’s complaints, Zhao Yingjun still withstood the pressure without any rebuttal.

He simply listened patiently to the team leaders one by one and took notes in silence.

Lin Xian twirled his pen, watching Zhao Yingjun…

From a personal standpoint, Lin Xian greatly admired her.

Zhao Yingjun usually treated him well, and Lin Xian also liked the atmosphere at MX Company.

So this time…

He decided to give Zhao Yingjun a helping hand.

On one hand, he had to monetize his own authorization eventually, so it was better to sell it to Zhao Yingjun than to another company.

On the other hand…

Lin Xian was still very curious about what was written on the Genius Club invitation that Zhao Yingjun received.

This was an opportunity to gain Zhao Yingjun’s favor and trust.

If one day Zhao Yingjun trusted him enough, maybe he would have the chance to know the password for the office door, or even have the opportunity to be alone in that office.

At that time, he might be able to sneak a look at that invitation.

That’s right.

Lin Xian only planned to look secretly, and must never reveal his purpose in front of Zhao Yingjun.

Because by the worst calculation…

If Zhao Yingjun had already joined the Genius Club,

and the Genius Club was an evil organization intent on hiding all traces,

then revealing his interest in the Genius Club so obviously… might it lead to a fatal disaster?

Safety first.

Only by staying alive, can one continue to contribute.

…

The logistics team leader finished reporting.

Zhao Yingjun lifted his head and looked at Lin Xian:

“Lin Xian, it’s your turn to report. Do you have anything to say?”

Lin Xian nodded his head.

He pushed the thick file bag on the table to the center:

“Everyone has misunderstood President Zhao. In fact, we have been quietly pushing this matter forward, and everyone must have heard about Professor Xu Yun’s visit to our company a few days ago.”

“This morning, I went back to East Sea University to find Professor Xu Yun and have secured the exclusive authorization for this chemical substance.”

???

Dozens of gazes shot over like lasers, their eyes as wide as walnuts.

“So that means…”

Lin Xian smiled slightly:

“We can restart ‘Professor Xu Yun’s Moisturizing Cream Plan’ now!”
