Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 601: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (15)
Chapter 601: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (15)
Next, Luo Ning followed the two to the Yi Family’s laboratory.
As soon as she entered, she was surrounded by several doctors and senior experts.
Their gazes were intense as they looked at Luo Ning.
"I didn’t expect that the person to research these anti-inflammatory drugs would be such a young girl."
"The young lady truly surpasses the blue with the education from Xiang University."
The experts, seeing how young Luo Ning was, still harbored some doubts.
Thus, they engaged Luo Ning and discussed many professional matters.
Finally, one by one, they transformed into old fans, crowding around Luo Ning and incessantly asking questions.
Luo Ning answered their doubts, causing the senior experts to be excited with a flush of enthusiasm, almost wishing they had met her ten years earlier.
"Miss Luo, can these anti-inflammatory drugs be mass-produced?" one of the senior experts asked, voicing everyone’s thoughts.
Luo Ning nodded, "Yes, and the cost isn’t very high."
She added another sentence, "I have previously seen the Yi Family Pharmaceutical’s production line; it can definitely manufacture these anti-inflammatory drugs in large quantities."
"Of course, if we could import the new pharmaceutical equipment from Country D, the purity would be higher, and the effects would be better."
Yi Ting said helplessly, "I know the type of pharmaceutical equipment you’re talking about. I’ve tried contacting Country D before, but they are unwilling to sell the equipment to Huaxia."
As he knew, the largest pharmaceutical company in the north had also contacted Country D and was similarly rejected.
Even though they offered a high price and some concessions, the companies in Country D did not relent.
Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "I happen to know the family behind that company; I can help you negotiate with them."
In the two years following her visit to Xiang Island, she had produced numerous research results.
Her advisor introduced her to foreigners in the relevant industries, and having travelled abroad, she built good relations with these foreigners using her own abilities.
This included the person in charge of the family behind that company.
In fact, she had played a part in the development of that new equipment.
At the time, the experts from the other party were stuck at a bottleneck when she happened to visit Country D. Hearing their helpless mention of the issue, she offered some suggestions that helped the company break through the bottleneck and successfully develop the equipment.
She was even rewarded handsomely by the company and owed a favor by that person.
Given the limited technological conditions in Huaxia, they couldn’t produce such precise instruments and equipment, only relying on imports.
She had considered changing this, but it had to be done step by step.
Seeing this, Yi Ting’s eyes brightened, and he couldn’t help but try to shake hands with Luo Ning, "That’s wonderful, thank you so much!"
However, before he could reach Luo Ning’s hand, it was intercepted and pulled back by Lu Xun.
Luo Ning softly laughed, "You’re welcome."
Everyone then sat down to determine the procedures and processes for the drug production.
Two days later, the experimental equipment Luo Ning had shipped from Xiang Island arrived.
Seeing this, Yi Ting’s eyes sparkled with stars, followed by a row of experts from the laboratory who also had stars in their eyes.
None of them had expected Luo Ning’s experimental equipment to be the most advanced globally, something they could never acquire no matter how hard they tried.
At the experts’ request, Yi Ting went to beseech Luo Ning, asking her to help get a few sets of such experimental equipment.
He was particularly thick-skinned, and finally, Luo Ning agreed after much persuasion.
Hearing Luo Ning agree, Yi Ting’s face beamed like a rotten persimmon, and he even exclaimed, "Ah Xun, you’ve really found a valuable girlfriend. Why can’t I be this lucky?"
Lu Xun glanced at him, "This is something you can’t envy."
Yi Ting: "..." That stung.
Over the following month, Luo Ning provided the formula and secretly guided the production of the anti-inflammatory drugs at the Yi Family’s pharmaceutical base.
Once the drugs could be mass-produced, Luo Ning stopped managing it.
Lu Xun proactively invited her to visit the Lu Family.
Lu Xun’s father was General Lu, the biggest warlord of the south; he also had an older brother who only liked doing business, serving as the president of Huaxia Bank and chairman of the Southern Commerce Association.
It made sense; how could raising an army and waging wars happen without money?
Instead of relying on others to fund the Southern Army, it was better to find a way to become independent and seize economic power.
That amounted to holding both money and power in their own hands; Lu Xun’s elder brother was no ordinary person.
Lu Xun also had another brother, who followed the scholars’ path and served as the Deputy Chief Editor of the biggest southern newspaper.
He was also a famous patriotic scholar and poet of Huaxia.
This meant that the Lu Family also had considerable control over public opinion.
Young Master Lu and Second Young Master Lu were very generous and spirited, allowing the position of Young Commander to be taken by their military-enthusiast younger brother Lu Xun.
Apart from the three brothers, they also had a sister who was currently in university.
General Lu had only one wife, Mrs. Lu, and no concubines, which is why the Lu brothers got along so well.
Lu Xun was an outstanding graduate who completed his studies early at Military Academy D and had also furthered his studies at Military Academy M in country M, and upon return, he was appointed as the Young Commander of the Southern Army.
Therefore, when Commander Huo found out that Huo Sichen had gotten involved with Ran Yinyin, he was firmly supportive.
The Lu Family controlled the military power, economic power, and public opinion, areas where the Huo Family, which only controlled military power, could not compare.
Ran Yinyin’s family background, however, could just compensate for this.
But Ran Yinyin’s three brothers were still far inferior compared to the three Lu brothers.
Luo Ning was not surprised that Old Lu wanted to take her to meet his family, although it seemed a bit soon.
She asked, "What does your family think of me?"
She actually did not care about others’ opinions, but she did value the opinions of Old Lu’s family in this life.
Lu Xun smiled and stroked her head, "Don’t worry, my parents were very happy when they heard I had found someone I liked and so they suggested meeting you."
Luo Ning was unfazed, "Great, so when shall we visit?"
Lu Xun asked, "Is tomorrow okay?"
Luo Ning nodded, "Yes!"
The next day, Lu Xun personally drove to pick up Luo Ning, and they went to the Lu Mansion.
Upon arriving in the living room, only General Lu and Mrs. Lu were present.
Both smiled when they saw Luo Ning, who was dressed in a lake-blue qipao, looking young, beautiful, and elegant.
Judging from her appearance and demeanor alone, she matched their third son quite well.
Luo Ning politely greeted them, "Hello General Lu! Hello Mrs. Lu!"
Mrs. Lu smiled and stood up, "Come sit over here."
She pulled Luo Ning to sit beside her and said with a warm smile, "We’re all family now, calling me Mrs. Lu is too formal, call me Aunt Lu."
After the wedding, you can start calling me ’Mom.’
"Just call him Uncle Lu," she continued, pointing to General Lu.
Luo Ning could tell Mrs. Lu was sincere, so she confidently responded, "Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu."
Mrs. Lu held Luo Ning’s hand, her eyes twinkling with mirth, "That’s right, I like straightforward girls like you."
She had a very good impression of this future daughter-in-law, thinking that her son had been single for many years not because he was uninterested in women or emotionless but because his standards were very high.
After some casual conversation, Luo Ning presented gifts she had prepared in advance for both of them.
She believed they would both like them.
