Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Ugly Faces! Fifth Update

As soon as they entered the research lab, Zhang Bowen, along with the presence of Chen Wei, immediately drew the attention of all the researchers.

"My God, who is that? New researcher? He looks so handsome."

"Definitely, personally brought by Steward Zhang and coming to us, he’s no ordinary person."

"To be able to work with such a top-notch handsome guy every day, I wouldn’t mind even if they cut my salary."

"You guys are really silly."

"If you’re not convinced, you should also go to South Korea and make yourself look more handsome."

...

The crowd whispered among themselves.

"Fu, go get the K90 reagent for me." Zhang Bowen raised his hand and gestured to a researcher.

"Okay."

Soon, the researcher took out a tube of light pink reagent from the climate-controlled box and handed it to Zhang Bowen with both hands, "Steward Zhang, here’s what you asked for."

"Thank you." Zhang Bowen was usually not the kind to use his authority to suppress people unless he encountered someone particularly troublesome like Yang Aiqi.

"Here, Divine Doctor Chen, take a look. This is the Xu family’s most prized reagent," Zhang Bowen said as he handed it over.

Just as Chen Wei was about to reach out and take it, he heard the glass door behind him being pushed open with force, the sound of high heels on the floor, and an annoying voice, "Steward Zhang, that tube of reagent is worth several hundred thousand. I advise you not to waste it on that kind of person."

How could the other researchers not catch the obvious smell of gunpowder?

"What’s going on?"

"I don’t know, but she seems really angry."

"Isn’t she always like that, carrying a long face as if everyone owes her hundreds of thousands?"

"Looks like something big is going to happen."

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce, this person will soon replace me, personally introduced by President Han to enter our core research lab. His name isn’t important, but you must be very curious, what does Steward Zhang call him?"

Yang Aiqi went on with self-talk: "Steward Zhang calls him Medical Saint, Medical Saint of all things. Can you believe it? In this day and age, there’s still someone who believes in the existence of such a thing as a ’Medical Saint’. It’s an insult to us researchers!"

The most important thing is, Steward Zhang is actually willing to have me resign for the sake of such a person. Can you believe it?"

Nobody answered, although they all found it absurd; this decision was made by Han Wentian and Zhang Bowen. They were just employees trying to earn a living, singing a different tune openly—whether it’d be unpleasant to the other side was irrelevant; wasn’t this like lifting a rock only to drop it on their own foot? Was there any difference between this and putting their livelihoods at risk?

They did not want to act recklessly like Yang Aiqi.

"It seems like you think your medical skills are superior to mine, and you feel unbalanced because I am being favored, so you’re always trying to step on me?" Chen Wei turned and faced Yang Aiqi, asking directly.

"That’s right, anyone in my position wouldn’t feel balanced. What are you? And what am I?"

"What am I? And what are you?" Chen Wei asked with interest.

Yang Aiqi raised her hand and pointed at Chen Wei’s chest, "You are nothing but a charlatan with no real skills, while I am a medical prodigy who obtained dual Ph.D. degrees by the age of 27! Can you compare to that? What do you have to compare? Do you even know what a Ph.D. degree is? Do you know what a dual Ph.D. degree means?"

Everyone could tell that Yang Aiqi wasn’t really asking Chen Wei; she was genuinely treating him as an idiot, looking down on him.

"Since you think you’re so incredible, can you make this drug?" Chen Wei countered Yang Aiqi.

"Are you an idiot? How could I possibly make this drug? Do you know the origin of this drug? This drug was bought by the Xu family for tens of millions from the disciple of the National Medical Saint. If I could make it, you wouldn’t even have the right to stand in front of me and talk. Understand?" Yang Aiqi scoffed.

"Or do you think that you can make it?"

"That’s right, I can make it. That’s why I came here, to make this kind of drug." Chen Wei said seriously, showing no hint of jest.

For a moment, the entire room was silent, and the only sounds in the research lab were the faint noises of instruments operating—quiet, eerily quiet.

Those in the know are aware this is a lab; those who don’t might as well mistake it for a graveyard!

"Ha... Hahaha..." Finally, Yang Aiqi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Did you hear what this idiot said? He said he could make this drug."

Her gaze returning to Chen Wei, her face turned cold, "To call you a liar would be giving you too much credit. Do you realize that for several years our entire lab, with dozens of doctoral geniuses, has been unable to solve this problem? What makes you think you can? Do you have any idea how much money the Xu family has made off this drug because it’s impossible to replicate? You don’t know anything because you’re nothing but a fraud."

Yang Aiqi thought her words would pierce through and tear apart Chen Wei’s facade, but instead, she heard him say, "Since you can’t do it, just shut up and stand aside. Watch how I do it. Once I fail, then it won’t be too late for you to kick a man while he’s down."

"Hey! You..." Yang Aiqi wanted to say something more, but Chen Wei turned and walked towards the experimental bench.

"Miss Yang, please don’t disturb Divine Doctor Chen while he’s working." Seeing that Yang Aiqi still wanted to follow and pester Chen Wei, Zhang Bowen stepped forward in time to block her path.

"You will regret this!" Yang Aiqi glared with eyes wide open and said.

Chen Wei removed the lid and leaned in to sniff it.

"Divine Doctor Chen, how is it?" Zhang Bowen asked, curious.

"Hm, I already know the formula for this drug. Next, I just need to attempt it a few times to get the right mixture," Chen Wei responded with a nod.

Zhang Bowen opened his mouth to speak, but Yang Aiqi cut in first, "Bragging shamelessly isn’t going to twist your tongue. You think you can tell the formula just by smelling it? Do you think you’re a reincarnated microscope? Or maybe you’re actually a dog? That would make more sense."

Chen Wei ignored Yang Aiqi’s sarcasm and mockery and asked for the materials to start the mixture.

Seeing that Chen Wei didn’t even measure the ingredients and simply began pouring them into the container to mix, Yang Aiqi expressed her disappointment by spitting out two words: Amateur!

That’s right, amateur! In her eyes, everything Chen Wei did seemed amateurish.

The first attempt at the mixture; the color was 100 percent right. Chen Wei sniffed it and shook his head, "No good; the potency is still too low."

He put it aside.

He continued with the second attempt.

After another sniff, "Although the potency has improved, it’s still too little."

He put it aside and continued...

The third time...

The fourth time...

It wasn’t until the fifth attempt that Chen Wei was completely satisfied. He didn’t continue experimenting further and instead sealed the lid tightly and passed it to Zhang Bowen, "A drug with ten times the efficacy. Not only did it lower the cost and the difficulty of production, but it also increased the dissolution rate. I believe Uncle Han will definitely be
