Chapter 569 No Time to waste
However, just as Liang Jing had said, she no longer had the time to consider such trivial matters. She invested in a huge production line in preparation for the new medicine.
Now, everything was ruined. All the investments had gone down the drain.
What awaited her would be Old Madam Sun’s punishment, as well as the ridicule and replacement of the other cousins in the family. She might lose everything she had.
She s.h.i.+vered in fear.

It was already afternoon when Gu Jingyuan, s.h.i.+ Jin, and the pharmaceutical sales representatives came to an agreement. When the two of them came out, Liang Jing was standing not far away, waiting for them. “Doctor Gu, s.h.i.+ Jin.”
Gu Jingyuan looked up at him. “Why didn’t you go back to do research?”.
Liang Jing smiled bitterly. “Didn’t I already submit my resignation? I can leave after you approve it.”
In order to gain Sun Yijing’s trust, he had indeed secretly given her the formula when he was working in another laboratory.

He felt guilty, so even after this matter ended, he did not have the face to continue working in the laboratory.
“Liang Jing, who do you think hasn’t had the chance to make a mistake before? Besides, it’s not from the heart.” Gu Jingyuan patted his shoulder.
If it wasn’t for Liang Jing, Sun Yijing wouldn’t have suffered such a heavy loss.
Liang Jing raised his head to look at Gu Jingyuan. Gu Jingyuan smiled. “I’ve already negotiated a lot of collaborations. Now is the time to use people. What am I going to do if you leave?”
Liang Jing’s eyes flickered.
Gu Jingyuan hooked his arm around his shoulder. “Let’s go. We don’t have much time to waste.”
Liang Jing finally revealed a relieved smile.

Imperial University.
Gu Jingyuan went back with Liang Jing and s.h.i.+ Jin.
However, before the three of them got close, they heard a commotion coming from the other side.
“What happened?” Gu Jingyuan immediately went forward.
“Doctor Gu, you’re finally back! Didn’t you say that Sun Yijing came up with a new medicine that’s basically the same as ours? We were just thinking, how could Sun Yijing coincidentally come up with the same medicine as ours? Did someone take away our formula? Because of this, we specially waited here and didn’t alert the enemy. We just wanted to see if they would come to get the formula or medicine. Guess what, they really caught someone!”
The person who spoke was Gla.s.ses Boy. Although he was wearing gla.s.ses and looked nerdy, he was still athletic. His muscular arms grabbed onto a person, leaving him nowhere to run.
The others followed suit. “This Sun Yijing has learned her father’s stealing skills from everywhere. She must have arranged for someone to stay in our lab and wait for today!” “That’s right, we have to teach this brat a lesson today!”
“This is too much. How can we let those thieves and robbers take advantage of what we’ve worked so hard to develop!”
When Liang Jing heard this, he was a little surprised. Could it be that other than him and Sun Yijing, there was someone else?
Then he had been too careless, not knowing at all.
“This person is still wearing a helmet and mask. See if I don’t punch him first!” Gla.s.ses Boy said as he punched.
“Don’t beat around the bush. Let’s see who it is first.” Gu Jingyuan did not want anyone to die, so he reached out and took off that person’s helmet.
Seeing this person’s true appearance, everyone was stunned. “Wei Zai?”
The four-eyed man pointed at his nose and scolded, “It’s you, you traitor? No wonder everyone has been worried about the new medicine for the past few days. You’re the only one who’s always taking leave. You’re out of your mind! You’re too much!”
“I’m not… I’m just…”
Gla.s.ses Boy wanted to beat him up again, but he was stopped by Gu Jingyuan.
Gu Jingyuan asked, “Wei Zai, tell me, what are you doing here? Did you take the medicine?”
Liang Jing had already told Gu Jingyuan about his ident.i.ty, so the two of them confused Sun
Yijing.
If Wei Zai really gave Sun Yijing a new medicine, it would be very troublesome.
“I-I didn’t take it. I just wanted to give this letter to s.h.i.+ Jin. I was too embarra.s.sed to give it to her directly, so I wanted to put it on her test bench when you were not around…”
“For me?” s.h.i.+ Jin was surprised.
Although she didn’t know much about Wei Zai, she still remembered his hostility towards her when she came over. Wei Zai was a die-hard fan of s.h.i.+ Xuexin. He was always targeting her and protecting her. Now that she thought about it, the encounters were fresh in her mind.
“I really… I just feel sorry for you. I didn’t expect that I would be so blind as to like s.h.i.+ Xuexin in the past. I’ve slandered you a lot on the Internet previously and said a lot of things that I shouldn’t have said. I just wanted to apologize to you this time…”
Wei Zai took out the letter from his pocket and placed it in front of s.h.i.+ Jin. “This is it.”
Gla.s.ses Boy s.n.a.t.c.hed it over and opened it. It was indeed an apology.
It was probably about Wei Zai’s guilt and remorse after knowing s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s true colors.
“Forget it, it’s all in the past.” As a public figure, s.h.i.+ Jin had never been surprised by people’s likes and dislikes.
“Yes, I know you won’t take it to heart, but I’ve always felt bad. I used those words to scold you on the Internet previously. However, I’ve already deleted them and even deleted my account. I really wish I hadn’t done those things before.”
“Fans have their own freedom of speech, and they also have the freedom to choose who they like.” s.h.i.+ Jin glanced at him indifferently. “It’s your freedom to turn from a fan to a hater. You don’t need my permission or approval, right?”
Wei Zai could see how open-minded she was and hated himself for being so narrow-minded. Now, he only wanted to be a serious fan of s.h.i.+ Jin and be a fan of her career.
“I understand. Thank you for not blaming me.”
Gu Jingyuan said calmly, “Since s.h.i.+ Jin doesn’t blame you, let this matter pa.s.s. Everyone, don’t worry. Sun Yijing no longer has our formula and new medicine. The representatives from the various countries won’t cooperate with her either.” Hearing this news, everyone finally relaxed and cheered.
“So, everyone should continue working hard!” Gu Jingyuan said.
Liang Jing looked at Gu Jingyuan with great sentimentality. Gu Jingyuan did not mention anything about his actions. If he continued to stay in the laboratory, he would not have to bear any burden.
“Alright, alright. Let’s continue working.” Everyone was smiling. After all, working with Gu Jingyuan meant a bright future. Everyone was confident and full of motivation.
Gu Jingyuan smiled. “Before we continue working, let’s give everyone two days off! You’ve worked hard for so long! Go to the finance department and collect everyone’s bonuses!”
