Chapter 028: Project Docking
Perhaps it has not been moistened by clouds and rain for a long time, Lu Yaocheng is extremely enthusiastic, and there is a state of affairs that will never die. Wen Lu felt that all this was torture, but fortunately, she survived.
In the past few days, Xu Ke accompanied her to move the luggage in the dormitory to the apartment one after another, and the things were moved, and she left all the memories of Mu Huanting in the dormitory.
Among the pile of photos, the only one she took away was the photo of Lu Yaocheng that she took back from Zhang Junlan.
Xu Ke was in charge of transporting things back to the apartment, while Wen Lu was going to go back to work, and she escaped at this time of noon.
In the afternoon, Mr. Cui will take her to a meeting about their pediatric phase I drug experiment. The venue is in the auditorium and conference room of the experimental base of the first phase of Building 1.
"The meeting in the afternoon was a tough battle, and we and several other departments were both competitive and cooperative, and we had to fight for more funds without damaging the feelings of the departments," Mr. Cui and several colleagues from the same department behind him carefully advised.
Because Mr. Cui is the director of the department, the previous phase of the experiment was represented by several very prestigious teachers in the department, but the matter of scientific research funding has always been a major event, and Mr. Cui needs to go into battle in person.
Don't say director, even the dean has to be present in person.
The venue was decorated with ribbons and balloons of various colors, and the red carpet stretched from the entrance to the auditorium, with signs pointing to the venue on both sides of the red carpet.
Miss Manners organized the sign-in of the unveiling ceremony outside the auditorium, and the cheongsams with blue and white patterns were dignified and elegant, and they showed an approachable standard smile and thanked the guests one by one.
When Teacher Cui brought Wenlu and them over, everyone was a little shocked.
How did it make it so grand?
The unveiling ceremony was more pompous than the official meeting.
Dean Yao came out of the auditorium with a smile on his face, and when he saw Teacher Cui, he came to greet them.
Dean Yao excitedly shook Mr. Cui's hand, "This project is all a certainty, do you know who the project contact person sent by the other party is?" ”
"Who?" Teacher Cui couldn't guess.
"I was a student in our institute before," Dean Yao bought a pass, and when he saw Wen Lu behind Teacher Cui, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Wen Lu, you must know each other." ”
"Me?" Wen Lu felt a sigh in her heart, and the first person who came out of her mind turned out to be Lu Yaocheng.
"Yes, let's go in and have a look," Dean Yao looked forward to everyone's expressions as the secret was revealed.
"The ceremony is about to start, let's go inside," Teacher Cui instructed the people behind him.
Dean Yao said goodbye to them and went to the gate to receive the others.
Teacher Cui took them to sign in, and several mermaids rushed in and sat on the specified seats.
After a while, the host of the conference came to the stage, first thanked the leaders, and then complimented the investment company, and then slowly entered the theme.
As the representative of the hospital, Dean Yao expressed the urgent need for funds of the hospital, and then the representative of the investor appeared.
With a burst of warm applause, Mu Huanting quietly appeared in a black professional suit and walked to the center of the stage.
"Thank you for your trust in our project, and I look forward to our happy cooperation," Mu Huanting's dignified and generous opening was not stage frightened at all, and her excellent temperament seemed to be innate.
Wen Lu couldn't hear what she was saying, only saw the beautiful shadow in front of her constantly jumping in front of her eyes, and then jumping from her eyes to her mind.
I haven't seen her for a few days, and the original Mu Huanting has disappeared.
Originally, she didn't even dare to participate in the speech competition, but she was able to complete the planning of the entire project smoothly and naturally in front of so many people.
Did she know too little about Mu Huanting, or did Mu Huanting hide too deeply?
When Du Moyou, who was belated, sat down next to Wen Lu, his eyes were also attracted by the people on the stage.
"Wan Ting has really changed." Du Moyou recalled in his mind Mu Huanting's appearance before, and suddenly realized: "A few days ago, everyone ignored her why she couldn't study well, and she had to drop out of school halfway, so it was already arranged." ”
Wen Lu didn't react, her eyes were still looking ahead, and she was a little hollow.
Some unconcealable sadness spread around her, and she felt a thorn in her heart, and her heart hurt with every breath.
It was her best friend, they were classmates for five years in undergrad and nearly two years in graduate school, and the giant tower of friendship finally fell apart because of a man.
"When did she leave?" Wen Lu's eyes were a little misty.
"You don't know?" Du Moyou didn't expect it, "It seems to be this Monday." ”
Wen Lu shook her head, she didn't know about Mu Huanting's withdrawal from school, but she was helpless.
"It is rumored that her family seems to have encountered something, and she was forced to terminate her studies," Du Moyou recalled the gossip from other people, "Everyone thought that her family encountered some difficulties and couldn't afford to study, but it didn't seem to be." But this job is much more beautiful than ours, and that is Party A in the contract. ”
"Yes, now even the dean has to treat her with three points of courtesy," This is probably a coincidence, let Mu Huanting crush her after breaking with her.
Thinking of Du Moyou's words, Wen Lu couldn't help but imagine in her mind again, would this be another drama written and directed by Lu Yaocheng, always disgusting her at critical moments.
It's no wonder that she always questions her financier, it's just that the opportunity in this life is too coincidental. All her unhappiness comes from Lu Yaocheng.
The final part of the unveiling ceremony was the ribbon cutting, and representatives of the institute and investors such as Dean Yao and Mr. Cui were invited to the stage.
Mu Huanting is the youngest, standing in the middle, she took a pair of golden scissors to cut the red streamer, and smiled professionally at the camera below.
It's the appearance of a standard working woman, she is confident and arrogant, and she has the momentum to look down on everything.
At the end of the ribbon cutting, Wen Lu generously came to the stage to shake hands with her, and sincerely sent her last blessings, "I was very nervous on stage for the first time, you must have practiced many times offstage." Today's performance is very impressive, confident and beautiful. ”
A hint of faint panic flashed in Mu Huanting's eyes, and she regained her expression, "Thank you, but we will be opponents when we meet in the future." ”
Wen Lu let go of her hand and denied her words with a smile, "We are not opponents, we are partners." Isn't it better to have a win-win situation than to pinch each other? ”
"Win-win?" Mu Huanting sneered, she stepped forward to Wen Lu's ear, and whispered: "You exchange Lu Yaocheng for you, how about I let you win?" ”
Wen Lu was poured cold by Mu Huanting, although she had expected it, but this word still pierced her heart.
The people around them were not far away, and if they were a little apart, they could be heard.
Wen Lu had no intention of arguing with her, but just hugged her before Mu Huanting got up to leave, and the people around saw them as just two old friends greeting her. There was no much doubt.
They are about the same height, and this time it was Wen Lu's turn to whisper in Mu Huanting's ear: "In your heart, I am not as important as Lu Yaocheng, but in my heart, you are far more important than Lu Yaocheng." You know I'm approaching his purpose, but you still can't understand me. The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other. From now on, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and we will never know each other again. ”
Wen Lu let go of Mu Huanting with the brightest smile, and when she turned around, the smile was still frozen on her face, but her vision began to be foggy. The heart is slightly sour, and I pay tribute to the last moment of friendship.
Once the formal meeting begins, all participants move to the meeting room.
The main leaders sat around the long conference table, with two large bouquets of fresh flower arrangements in the center of the table, and the lilies were surrounded by the Junzi orchid, which was full of fragrance.
Wen Lu sat in the corner of the outer wall against the wall, and Mu Huanting sat in the top seat.
As the head of the hospital, the dean personally went into battle, and Mu Huanting made decisions on behalf of the investors. Because this investment is a mixed investment, several pharmaceutical companies, including Tiansheng and Mu Huanting's father's company, have invested in this project, because Mu Huanting's father's company has invested the most, so she is the top decision-maker and general person in charge of this project, and the use of each money must also be reported to her.
The dean gave a general introduction to the experimental plan and budget, and Mu Huanting had a medical background, but she was more quick to grasp the key points than the few veteran experts who did the project with her.
After a brief glance at the plan, Mu Huanting pointed to the staff and asked, "This is a new drug research, why do you want pediatrics to participate." There are many hidden dangers in drug testing for minors, not to mention that informed consent is difficult to obtain, and ethical review is not easy. Dean, are you sure this is not a waste of resources? ”
"This is a joint request from parents, and the joint letter has been written and sent to my office, this new drug has relatively few side effects, and it is likely to replace its previous generation as a routine drug for pediatric diseases," the dean explained carefully, "We have not thought about the ethical review, but as long as we carefully obtain the support and consent of every parent, it will definitely be fine." ”
"This work is very arduous, dean, you are here to make a guarantee, but the actual action is not known, please show me convincing evidence, you also know that the abuse of scientific research funds is serious, just on your paper, let us pay, how can we ensure that the money is not useless or wasted?" Mu Huanting's words were very sharp, Dean Yao didn't expect Mu Huanting to deliberately make things difficult and make it difficult for a while.
Wen Lu, who was sitting in the corner, didn't have the right to speak, she just listened to all this.
Du Moyou, who was beside her, looked at all this worriedly, she was also a pediatrician, so she naturally hoped that Corey's project could pass smoothly.
At the conference table, experts from several departments expressed their support for pediatrics, but Mu Huanting repeatedly insisted that this could not be a reason to convince her.
"You said that Wan Ting wouldn't deliberately embarrass us, right? If you come up, you will have a pediatric operation," Du Moyou whispered to Wen Lu.
"She's not here for pediatrics, she's here for me," Wen Lu pointed out directly.
"At you?!" Du Moyou looked incredulous, "Aren't you best friends?" ”
"That was before," Wen Lu emphasized, "and now it's an opponent." ”
