Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Song Yun, you've truly filled a major gap for us."

Director Ni said with a beaming smile, his square face devoid of any seriousness, as amiable as a neighborly uncle.

"It's all part of my job."

Song Yun sat calmly in his chair, chatting with Director Ni while waiting for the experiment results.

About ten minutes later, the anxious white-haired old man who had left earlier burst back into the room, excitedly slapping his palm on the table and exclaiming, "It worked!"

"Really?"

Director Ni too breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he had seen the experimental report from the Magic Capital laboratory earlier, seeing is believing, and now he could finally set his mind at ease.

"The effects are simply outrageous."

The white-haired old man chuckled: "Maybe it's not quite right to say it, but I am just too excited. Now our laboratory has also developed a technology that will make waves around the world."

"Song Yun, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Professor Gong from the National Science Research Institute, a leading figure in today's biological engineering technology!"

Director Ni said, "The technology you've been researching, Professor Gong has delved into it for over a decade and just began to see some light."

"Nice to meet you, Professor Gong."

Song Yun was very respectful toward such a technical talent. After all, not everyone can bury themselves in a laboratory for years chasing an uncertain future.

Yes, it's not much different from gambling. After all, the subject matter of their research had already been discovered by predecessors. Without a breakthrough in physical materials, all they could do was stand on the shoulders of giants, picking up bits of wisdom left by those who came before.

"You're a capable young man; I like you a lot. Your research institute is called Grey Deer, right? Send someone over to liaise with us later, and we can engage in deeper exchanges on this subject."

Professor Gong didn't bear the airs of an important figure, nor did he display any condescending attitude due to his seniority. He appeared quite friendly toward Song Yun.

"Of course, thank you, Professor Gong!"

Song Yun was immensely flattered. After all, the National Science Research Institute was a key governmental research body, containing many assets that had cost a fortune to accumulate!

And his own small research institute? At best, it was number one in the Magic Capital industry—but put frankly, at the national level, it could barely rank as second-tier.

That was after the success of the Agility Potion research!

Before that... it was even worse...

Thus, in this respect, the future path for Grey Deer Research Institute would have many shortcuts—it was all about the money!

"Ah, Professor Gong, so you were here."

A middle-aged man in his forties walked in, his potbelly and receding hairline giving him a greasy appearance.

Professor Gong merely grunted and didn't even bother to look up at the arrival.

"Hehe, this must be the young talent, Mr. Song, right?"

The middle-aged man extended his hand with a smile: "I'm the vice president of the National Science Research Institute. I mainly handle managerial work. Just call me Vice President Li."

"Hello."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face. The man had approached with a warm smile, so naturally, his own attitude couldn't be too poor.

"Director Ni, I see the researchers outside are all very excited. Does that mean the experiment was a success?"

Vice President Li inquired curiously.

"If nothing goes wrong, that should be the case."

Director Ni replied tepidly.

After hearing the news, the man took a seat and seemed contemplative.

"Song Yun, the technology you've come up with is of utmost importance! To put it bluntly, it's like holding the lifeblood of technology."

Vice President Li said gravely, "Moreover, it can be considered a strategic national asset. It seems inappropriate for a single individual to possess it, doesn't it?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about?"

Song Yun was taken aback and replied indifferently, "Are you suggesting it's wrong for me to have developed this gene potion?"

"Hahaha, young man, don't be too hot-tempered. Of course, I'm not saying you did anything wrong; on the contrary, your contribution is significant. But this matter is extremely important—it's akin to a small nuclear bomb in today's context."

Vice President Li tried to laugh it off, "So, how about this proposal? The National Science Research Institute is willing to spend a hefty sum to acquire your research institute. We can merge, or we could buy your formula for a big payout."

"Director Ni, is this your opinion as well?"

Song Yun asked incredulously, "Does this mean, if I come up with something in the future, it's going to be like this?"

"This is not what I mean."

Director Ni was also getting a bit irritated as he scolded Vice President Li, "This is Song Yun's proprietary technology, and nobody can take that away from him!"

"There's no need for you to get angry, Director Ni. We are all friends here, and since we have some idle time, let's just consider this a chat."

Vice President Li remained calm, "Song Yun, do you think others won't covet national treasures that you hold in your hands? I heard you were attacked recently, right? If the authorities hadn't sent protection, you probably wouldn't be alive right now. A dead man's possessions are nothing but dust."

"You're a businessman; you should understand what interests are. If you're not satisfied with the previous two proposals, then here's a third option: we can collaborate. For every gene potion produced, I give you a 30% cut of the profit. How about that?"

Vice President Li's attitude was overwhelmingly condescending as if collaborating with him was an honor—his demeanor was quite irritating.

"Sorry, but I disagree with all of that."

Song Yun firmly rejected the offers.

"Young man, don't be too greedy!"

Vice President Li said angrily, "Are we supposed to entrust the lives of all our soldiers using the potion to a foreigner?!"

In Vice President Li's eyes, Song Yun was merely a well-known businessman who gained fame too rapidly and perhaps lacked deep roots.

And the potential profits from the gene potion were tantalizing; many people had been inquiring, both overtly and covertly, about the possibility of revealing the formula, willing to pay a substantial price!

This had piqued his interest sufficiently to offer Song Yun a lofty proposition.

If Song Yun agreed, he would share the profits.

If not—well, did he really think being the richest man in Magic Capital was something extraordinary?

"Director Ni, it seems there's some lack of consensus here. How about we wait until the experiment is over, and then talk?"

To put it bluntly, Song Yun found their demands resembled daylight robbery! Why should he have to hand over the formula, and if he didn't, they would taunt him with veiled threats?

"Song Yun, this is definitely not my opinion, nor is it the position of our superiors! After the last incident, you should be aware of how the higher-ups feel about you!"

Director Ni hurriedly chimed in, "I'm sure there are misunderstandings today. Let's cool down and then discuss potential collaborations."

"Vice President Li, right? Who asked you to say these things?"

Old Master Ouyang tapped the tabletop impatiently, "Don't tell me this was your own idea!"
