“The research team requires five names. I’ll be a little busy in the time ahead. I have to manage work while directing the research. He already knows the ins and outs so I have no qualms.”

“What about the other two people?” Didn’t he have qualms about the other two?

“The other two have already signed the contract. Once they’ve graduated, they will come to work in our pharmaceutical company,” Bao Junyan said.

Mu Huan was about to nod when she suddenly realized: “Our pharmaceutical company?”

“Uh-huh.”

“There is a pharmaceutical company under the Bao Group?” Didn’t he say they didn’t have any pharmaceutical-related business?

“I’ve acquired Rui Hui Pharmaceutical.”

“The most renowned pharmaceutical company in Asia?” Mu Huan widened her eyes.

Some time ago, the news had exposed a break in Rui Hui Pharmaceutical’s funding, and, as a result, its stock price fell sharply. There were rumors that it might go bankrupt. At the time, she had even lamented the impermanence of the world, that something like this would happen to such a renowned pharmaceutical company.

Now, it looked like he was the one behind it…?

“Uh-huh.”

Mu Huan: “…”

When the Long family made a move and acquired the biggest pharmaceutical company in their country, Bao Junyan made a move to acquire the biggest one in Asia…

How nice it was to be super-rich…

When acquiring this sort of huge corporation was no different from shopping for groceries…

After a while…

“Why did you suddenly acquire Rui Hui? Does the Bao Group intend to enter the pharmaceutical industry?”

“Uh-huh.” This was a dark world, where one may not be able to gain a place in one’s own desired field just by having talent and capability alone.

People who eventually reach the summit are people who walk through the Valley of Death, and he didn’t want her to go through that.

Hence, he would pave the way forward for her.

“Entering the pharmaceutical industry would not be a bad thing. The general economy is bad and consumption is decreasing. Only the pharmaceutical industry is not regressing.” Still, pharmacists would never hope to see their own industry flourish because this would mean that many people were getting sick. Their objective was to research drugs that would restore health. However, because of a variety of factors, human diseases were constantly evolving. For example, the flu virus during each year’s epidemic seemed to be different.

These were factors that could not be fought against.

“Uh-huh.”

“Oh. Was I ousted from the name list prior to this because the Long family funded the research?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Well, then, let them sponsor the research and to hell with Long Feiting!” Mu Huan hummed.

Bao Junyan smiled dotingly and said, “Okay.”

Although the girls did not dare to go near Bao Junyan because of his stone-cold iciness, they wouldn’t stop their little antics. Every time his lesson came round, the lecturing platform would be lined with presents for him. The entrance to his office was also often choked with presents for him.

Bao Junyan taught only one class of Biochemistry and did not appear in school as often. But every time he appeared, there would be girls trailing after him. Even girls from the other faculties who didn’t take his class would come over to take a look at Bao Junyan.

The spectacular scene that would take place every time he made an appearance made Mu Huan decide that this could not go on!

“I have to buy Bao Junyan a ring!”

“Why did you think of this all of a sudden?” Li Meng asked curiously.

“It’s true we can’t expose our relationship as man and wife, but I think his married status has to be made known!” If he wore a ring and the girls knew he was married, it should stop them from acting this crazy.

“Oooohhhh, are you jealous and want to tell the world that our Professor Bao the hunk has an owner?”

“What do you mean jealous? I just think we can’t go on harming these young girls! What if they started to like him so much they can’t let go?!”
