Chapter 345: Three hundred and forty-five Tie up the warship_1

Although he claimed he wanted to discuss the details of compensation, Gu Chen wasn’t actually concerned about it at all.

The only reason he had mentioned it was to find an excuse that was somewhat acceptable.

Later, when their coffee arrived, he directly engaged Dong Yuwei in casual conversation.

Fortunately, the system had previously awarded Gu Chen with intermediate Traditional Chinese Medicine Skills.

Although his healing abilities were just fair.

The knowledge of medicine and pharmacology contained within was profound.

At least, it was more than enough to boast and bluff his way through conversations.

Dong Yuwei, who was still just a regular researcher, was completely taken in by Gu Chen’s dazzling spiel.

She not only saw him as handsome and gentle, but also incredibly knowledgeable.

For a moment, she couldn’t help feeling bashful, as if there was a little deer rambling around in her heart.

She instinctively lowered her head, afraid that Gu Chen across from her would notice.

Unwittingly, even Dong Yuwei had forgotten the original purpose of their meeting at the coffee shop.

Watching Gu Chen in front of her, confident and speaking freely, even her gaze started to become misty.

At this moment, Gu Chen was very pleased because he realized that the woman opposite him had a pathetically low guard.

They had only been chatting for a short while when he learned from her.

It turned out that the Xu Family had been deeply collaborating with Chuan University’s pharmaceutical research institute all along.

Moreover, a new drug they’d been developing, aimed at clearing heat, detoxifying, and relieving pain, was at the final stages of testing.

Even through Dong Yuwei’s words, Gu Chen finally managed to get the internal name the Xu Family had for the medicine.

It was named "Qing Shen Xuelian Pill," and Xu Qingmu himself had personally decided on it.

At this thought, Gu Chen couldn’t help but snigger internally; since the other party hadn’t launched it yet.

Well then, he was sorry, but that name would soon belong to his new drug.

When the time came for Xu Qingmu’s pharmaceutical factory to start mass production, and just before the product hit the shelves, they would find that the market had already been preempted.

A drug with the same name and effects, developed by the Ji Family, would have appeared.

Gu Chen wondered what expression would be on Xu Qingmu’s face at that moment?

With this in mind, Gu Chen was starting to feel quite impatient.

His warmth towards Dong Yuwei grew, and he continued to chat with her for a while.

When he realized he could no longer get any more useful information, he lost interest in continuing the conversation.

Though that’s what he thought internally, on the surface, he still had to play his part.

He then deliberately glanced at his watch, showing a gentle and apologetic smile, and said to Dong Yuwei,

"I’m really sorry, I lost track of time once we started talking.

There are some things at home that I need to deal with, so I’m afraid I’ll have to leave now.

By the way, Miss Dong, would it be convenient for you to leave me your phone number? We could keep in touch in the future."

Dong Yuwei listened to him, distracted for a moment, but quickly snapped back to reality.

She hastily took out her phone from a small bag and exchanged contact information with Gu Chen.

Seeing the sunny smile on his face, her pretty cheeks couldn’t help but redden slightly.

Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the side as she spoke with a hint of shyness,

"I also had a great time chatting with you, Gu Ge. You can just call me Yu Wei in the future.

Calling me Miss Dong all the time feels a bit strange, and to be honest, the research institute is usually quite empty.

And everyone is so busy that I always find the atmosphere a bit gloomy. If you have time, Gu Ge,

you’re welcome to visit now and then. With your profound expertise in medicine,

"My dad will definitely like you," she said.

"Next time, for sure, next time for sure," Gu Chen replied, seemingly enthusiastic but actually brushing her off.

However, the thought crossed his mind that Professor Dong was an internationally renowned expert in pharmaceuticals.

If he could use Dong Yuwei to make a connection with the professor,

it would certainly benefit the Ji Family’s traditional Chinese medicine business in Chuan City in the future.

But if he did that, it might seem too deliberate.

After all, if he were to develop a new drug, he would need the Chuan University research institutes to endorse it.

So what should he do to get Professor Dong and his research institute on his side?

Gu Chen pondered constantly in his mind, and then suddenly had an inspiration.

He deliberately made a hesitant expression and said,

"Yu Wei, I have a small favor to ask of you, and I’m not sure if you could help."

Dong Yuwei already had positive feelings for Gu Chen, and she had accidentally bumped into him before,

feeling incredibly guilty and unsure of how to make amends. Upon hearing his request, she immediately replied without hesitation,

"Gu brother, just say whatever you need, and besides, we’re good friends, aren’t we?

I’ll do everything I can to help, as long as it’s within my power."

Gu Chen’s face broke into a smile, expressing his delight,

"Actually, it’s not a big deal. I’ve developed a few new drugs that need a brand ambassador before we launch the ad campaign.

I think you’re so beautiful, Yu Wei,

both in terms of temperament and appearance, that’s why I want to ask you to help advertise these drugs for me."

Then he hurried to clarify, worried she might misunderstand,

"Don’t worry, Yu Wei, when the time comes I will create a script for the ad, and you just need to take some photos in front of the camera.

You won’t have to worry about anything else, and as for the payment, just name your price,

whether it’s one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, there will be no issue whatsoever."

Dong Yuwei had not expected Gu Chen to ask her for this kind of favor.

Instantly, she felt even more shy inside.

She had always been under the strict guidance of her parents, whether it came to what books to read, which school to attend,

or whom to befriend - it had all been clearly arranged for her from an early age.

She knew that her future was to succeed her father’s dream and continue his research.

Dong Yuwei had never even dreamed that she would be invited to do a television ad.

The thought of standing under the spotlight, to be seen by everyone,

was so bold a thought that she had never had it, and suddenly her heart was filled with extreme nervousness.

Seeing her tangled state, Gu Chen thought she wanted to refuse him,

and he sighed softly, lamenting that the plan he had come up with so painstakingly might come to nothing.

However, when Dong Yuwei saw Gu Chen’s look of disappointment, she thought the matter must be very important to him.

Her sense of guilt deepened; after all, she had accidentally run into Gu Chen,

and he hadn’t said a single word of reproach from beginning to end, and furthermore, he had been so kind to her.

With that thought, Dong Yuwei bit her lip and, for the first time, made a decision for herself.

"Gu brother, I’ll do it. I’ll help you shoot the ad," she said.
