Chapter 2265 - 2225: Antiviral Drug Research Laboratory Officially Operational

Ye Qiu knew that if he hadn’t come to this world, it was likely that Ye Weidong’s family could only live a very ordinary life.

So, this could be considered compensation for the original Ye Qiu’s family.

When he got in the car, Ye Qiu didn’t stay and drove back to the downtown area.

He knew that Ye Weidong and his wife often came back to the community for a visit, perhaps because the two were somewhat nostalgic and sentimental; thus, they didn’t want to sell that old house.

However, now that amount of money was nothing to Ye Qiu, so it didn’t matter if the Ye Weidong couple didn’t sell it.

Upon driving back to Wang Yulian’s villa, Wang Yulian instructed the nanny to prepare lunch and asked Ye Qiu to stay and have lunch before leaving.

So, Ye Qiu and Xiaomai stayed.

Around twelve-thirty, after the nanny finished preparing lunch, Ye Qiu and Xiaomai ate there and then drove back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Back at the villa, Ye Qiu continued playing games in the afternoon, while on the side of Zhou Wenting and the antiviral drug research laboratory, preparations for tomorrow’s ceremony had begun.

Ye Qiu certainly wouldn’t pay attention to those matters.

In the evening, after dining with Lin Xiang and Xiaomai, Ye Qiu returned to his room to continue cultivating the Primordial Five Emperors Technique.

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu was woken up by a phone call from Zhou Wenting.

"We need to go to the laboratory earlier today."

Ye Qiu decided to drive himself.

After finishing breakfast, without bringing Xiaomai along, he drove to the antiviral drug research laboratory where all sorts of jubilant banners were already hanging.

However, as soon as Ye Qiu got out of the car and walked inside, he saw many people lining up outside.

"Are you here for the internship application too?" a young man asked.

Internship application?

What’s going on?

The primary recruitment here is for those specializing in antiviral drug research, and these people are at least PhD students, perhaps even postdoctoral researchers.

They should all be over thirty years old or just about.

As for other ordinary jobs, like security and cleaning staff, those are easy to recruit.

Jobs in other departments should have been recruited by Zhou Wenting long ago.

"What internship?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Aren’t you one of the top students from the university? This internship offer has the best treatment nationwide, and later, there will even be a bonus for developing an antiviral drug," the young man said excitedly.

"I am from Jin University."

Jin University?

That’s quite good too.

Ye Qiu indeed was from Jin University, but he wasn’t there for an internship application.

Though Ye Qiu didn’t expect that there would be so many university students coming for internship applications today.

These were mostly master’s and doctoral students, even postdoctoral researchers and professors from the universities, all attracted by the nation’s best treatment so they flew to Jinling yesterday and waited until today.

Ye Qiu wasn’t aware of these matters.

After leaving, he called Zhou Wenting: "Is the laboratory recruiting talent?"

"Yes, recruitment has been ongoing, and now we’re recruiting another batch," Zhou Wenting said.

They had been recruiting earlier, including talent from abroad.

But now it was formal recruitment.

Apart from providing employee dorms and welfare housing later, the salaries are much better than in other cities, and the work is relatively free.

It’s somewhat similar to foreign research laboratories.

"Who is in charge?"

"A returned biological professor," Zhou Wenting said.

"Then, I’ll meet after the ceremony is over."

Zhou Wenting had come early and was now hosting the city government representatives, including Li Zhiguo and others who had come.

Li Zhiguo knew the laboratory was under Ye Qiu’s name; however, many people weren’t aware.

This laboratory is a national-level laboratory, scarce even in large cities like the East Sea. Li Zhiguo was puzzled why Ye Qiu would invest so much money into this laboratory.

Of course, the presence of this laboratory greatly benefits Jinling’s scientific research and boosts his own scores too.

That’s why Li Zhiguo made sure to attend.

He didn’t see Ye Qiu’s presence, only saw Zhou Wenting.

It was known that Zhou Wenting was brought in by Ye Qiu to manage the laboratory.

At that moment, Ye Qiu wasn’t outside but was in Zhou Wenting’s office.

Zhou Wenting had just taken the representatives to tour the laboratory.

This laboratory encompasses both underground and above-ground sections, much more advanced than Jinling University’s laboratory, and the lab equipment is the most advanced globally, all imported at high prices from countries like Germany.

Upon finishing the tour, Li Zhiguo and the others acknowledged that Ye Qiu truly invested a lot of money, even though the government subsidized part of it, but that just converted into land prices.

Ye Qiu merely got a cheaper deal on that piece of land; everything else was invested by him.

But now it brings considerable reputation boost to Jinling City’s government.

At eight-thirty in the morning, the antiviral drug research laboratory officially announced its operation at the start of the ceremony, where Zhou Wenting and others attended.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was still in her office.

It ended at around eleven-thirty in the morning.

After the representatives departed, Zhou Wenting finally finished her work.

When Zhou Wenting led Ye Qiu to an office, now there was a returned professor.

Indeed, the biomedical professor Zhao, who Zhou Wenting recruited with a high salary from America, was currently conducting exams on the internship applicants who came over.

As many people wanted to enter, only a portion could be selected at the end.

This antiviral drug research lab is extensive, able to accommodate over a thousand researchers, but with thousands of applicants, only a portion can be selected.

"Professor Zhao, this is Mr. Ye, our boss."

Zhou Wenting said.

Professor Zhao had heard that this research lab was privately invested, and the real boss’s surname was Ye.

He didn’t expect the boss to be so young and to have invested so much money to develop this lab.

Ye Qiu and Professor Zhao shook hands and said, "This laboratory is just my domestic one; I have another similar laboratory in Germany, and in the future, talents of both labs can be shared, and the developed drugs can be jointly listed."

There’s actually such a research lab abroad too?

This young man is truly remarkable!

How is this possible?

"Mr. Ye, is what you said true?"

Professor Zhao asked in disbelief.

"Of course, there’s Dr. Lange from Helenburg University."

Professor Zhao thought it was a lie, but unexpectedly, it was true. Moreover, Ye Qiu had already acquired that research drug lab and a pharmaceutical factory abroad.

After investing a lot of money, it’s operating very well there now.
