Old Wang was just pondering when the clever Secretary Wang next to him chimed in first, pouring wine for the foreigner and whispering softly, "Mr. William is absolutely right. Professor Bo and our Mr. Wang are relatives by marriage, they interact a lot, and it’s quite easy to arrange a meeting. But I’m not sure how your side plans to collaborate?"

William tilted his head: "Father’s idea is for your side to invest while Professor Bo participates in the experiment. Father holds him in high regard, so before meeting Professor Bo, we won’t present this contract."

Wang Jingyao was feeling utterly disdainful in his heart, damn, it’s just a project, do you really think you’re hotstuff? Asking us for money and effort, why don’t you foreigners just go to heaven?

He was angry, but Jiang Chaoge was even angrier—she’d been busy for ages, only to end up making a wedding dress for someone else? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

This William had once pursued her, sweet-talking her that he needed her involvement in the project. But in the end, the person they truly wanted was Bo Xichen.

Her expression wasn’t looking good, yet the foreigner, oblivious to her mood, sincerely said, "Chaoge, thank you for allowing me to appreciate the beauty of the East and for giving me the opportunity to meet Mr. Wang and Professor Bo."

He then seriously said to Wang Jingyao, "Please let me meet Professor Bo. Father misses him a lot."

Hearing this, Jiang Chaoge felt betrayed. So Bo Xichen knew the founder of Huaer Laboratory, but no one had told her after all this time?

The foreigner’s tone was filled with deep admiration: "Bo was once Father’s assistant. Father holds him in high regard. It’s a shame he returned to his homeland after a year. Father always talks about him with great regret."

Jiang Chaoge’s expression was a bit twisted: "Professor Bo now has his own laboratory. He might not take this project, especially with the investment involved. It’s likely he won’t go for such an unprofitable deal."

After she spoke, Wang Jingyao felt even more frustrated—

If Bo Xichen, who would provide both money and effort, wouldn’t do it, was she expecting him to be the fool?

At the moment, Wang Jingyao was quite unhappy inside, but he chose to endure it for the sake of the project.

And that oblivious Mr. William was still enthralled, "Before we came, we investigated a bit. The Cloud He Group owned by Professor Bo has a market value in the trillions, while this project requires a total investment of only a few billion. He can easily afford it. Furthermore, only Cloud He Group in all of Asia can afford it, not to mention Professor Bo’s extraordinary talent."

Jiang Chaoge was about to explode.

At this point, Old Wang smiled slightly: "Funding is not an issue here; the problem is... can we find someone to replace Professor Bo? What Ms. Jiang just said is correct—Professor Bo has his own laboratory, and such a collaboration is unlikely."

William shook his head: "But Father’s intention is that it must be Professor Bo."

At this point, Secretary Wang joined in again: "Actually, besides Professor Bo, there’s someone else who’s quite remarkable."

Jiang Chaoge was quite pleased; finally, someone recognized her talent, acknowledging her presence.

William, also intrigued, couldn’t help but ask, "Who could be on par with Professor Bo, oh, is there such a formidable figure in the East?"

Jiang Chaoge shifted slightly, ready to accept Secretary Wang’s praise, but then Secretary Wang smiled and uttered a few words: "It’s Professor Bo’s wife."

William was surprised and delighted: "I only heard she was a genius at business. What, she also has research in medicine?"

At this point, Old Wang couldn’t stand it any longer, glancing at Secretary Wang before slowly saying, "Don’t listen to his nonsense. Little Wang... that kid merely helped Xichen a few times with anatomy models. Jingchuan, how could you exaggerate so much?"

Though the foreigner was adept at understanding cultures, there were still some nuances he didn’t fully grasp. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t Professor Bo’s wife surnamed Gu? Why call her Little Wang... isn’t it Little Gu?"

The scene turned a bit... uh, Wang Jingchuan almost wanted to burst into laughter. Could he tell this foreigner that Mr. Wang usually called her a little bastard?

Secretary Wang, being the clever person he was, quickly found a way out: "It’s like this, our Mr. Wang adopted Little Gu as a sister. So, it’s inevitable that he occasionally calls her Little Wang by mistake."

William let out a sound of acknowledgment, indicating he understood: "So that’s how it is."

He expressed even more interest: "Now I really must meet them, and it just so happens that Father brought a gift, saying he wanted to give it to Professor Bo."

Wang Jingyao casually asked, "What gift?"

The foreigner, with a look of longing, replied: "It’s this collaboration. As long as Professor Bo takes it on, it will surely cause a sensation in the medical world and rewrite human history..."
