Chapter 647: Chapter 646: The Strength of the Research Institute, Making Sun Ning Overjoyed
Mu Bei had only visited the physics laboratory through the connection with Gu Yanzhe; he really knew nothing about the biological laboratory, and he did not dare to say anything out of place.
The car stopped around the biological laboratory, and Mu Bei made a call to Ma Wenyuan, told him his location, and soon after, Ma Wenyuan hurried out of the laboratory with a pass card in his hand.
Standing next to Mu Bei’s car, Sun Ning was looking at the majestic biological laboratory and besides being shocked, he was at a loss for words.
He thought that after seeing the prosperity of the Independent State, nowhere else could compare, but in Beijing’s Z country, he was truly having his eyes opened this time.
“Mr. Sun, this gentleman here is Dean Ma,” Mu Bei said to the continually quiet Sun Ning beside him, reminding Sun Ning and introducing Ma Wenyuan to him.
Ma Wenyuan, observing Sun Ning’s shocked face standing beside Mu Bei, hesitated slightly, still wondering if Wen Xin had mistaken this man for someone else. How could such a man be brought to a biological laboratory?
“Hello, I am the head of the research institute, and the laboratory you wanted has been prepared for you. Follow me to the lab to see, all the basic facilities are there, let’s see what specialized equipment you need.”
Though he had his doubts, Ma Wenyuan still trusted Wen Xin’s judgment. So despite feeling that the man in front of him seemed somewhat unintelligent, he was still very polite in guiding Sun Ning into the laboratory.
After walking into the laboratory, Sun Ning was even more shocked than he had been outside, but now he seemed to have learned to control his expressions, following behind Ma Wenyuan with a calm and composed face, looking very profound and mysterious.
Ma Wenyuan turned around to say something to Sun Ning, but seeing his composed demeanor, he frowned involuntarily, finding this person quite unpredictable.
“Our laboratory is divided into upper and lower areas, with forty-two floors above ground dedicated to specialized research, each representing forty-two projects, and twenty-two underground floors for independent research projects. I’ve arranged your laboratory on the seventeenth floor underground.”
While explaining, Ma Wenyuan led Sun Ning to the elevator, took out a card from his pocket that read “D17,” swiped it on the elevator, which then slowly opened. He entered with Sun Ning and handed the elevator card to him.
“This is your special elevator card, which can only access the seventeenth floor underground. We have a rule here that prohibits wandering around, and each floor’s experimental data is a separate system, so you need not worry about your data being leaked.”
“Also, rest assured, your experiments can be completely confidential. Even the central control system cannot access your data without your consent and verification code; there will be highly secure safeguards.”
“Moreover, Wen Xin told me that you don’t need any assistants. I followed your request and didn’t arrange for any assistants for you. However, if you need them later, you can contact me, or if you have a suitable assistant, you can also let me know. As long as they pass the evaluation, they can be brought in.”
Ma Wenyuan led Sun Ning to the seventeenth-floor laboratory, and Sun Ning, seeing the vast laboratory, had eyes only filled with excitement; he had never imagined he would have such a lab.
“Um, may I ask first … is this entire floor of laboratories mine?”
Sun Ning walked into the laboratory, every cell in his body tingling with excitement, feeling as though he was dreaming.
“Yes, the entire seventeenth-floor laboratory is yours. There is a private rest area and a storage room. I know that researchers can be quite intense, and meals aren’t always regular. We provide three meals a day here, but for those who miss ordering meals, they will need to make do with instant food!”
Ma Wenyuan originally wanted to show Sun Ning the rest area and the storeroom, but it seemed Sun Ning wasn’t very interested in the rest or food; his eyes were entirely fixated on the laboratory equipment.
“Um, head of the department, I need to analyze Mu Chengxi’s blood right now, so I’ll get busy, you can go back. I’ve had my meal, and when I am hungry, I can find something to eat myself, so don’t worry about me.”
While speaking, Sun Ning took out Mu Chengxi’s blood sample from his backpack and walked over to a piece of equipment to start the preparations.
Ma Wenyuan watched Sun Ning, as he eagerly and earnestly started his work, and without saying anything else, he turned around and left.
After leaving the laboratory and returning to the ground floor, Ma Wenyuan called Wen Xin to update her on Sun Ning’s situation.
“Miss, where did you find such an oddity? Outside, he seemed like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, but once he entered the laboratory, he seemed to know all the equipment inside and out; he seemed pretty impressive.”
Wen Xin, who had just finished feeding Mu Chengxi a bowl of porridge, sat beside his bed and slightly chuckled with her phone in hand, “He, from the Independent State, is a genius from the medical department there, passionate about biological research. Please take extra care of him, and try not to disturb him if it’s not necessary.”
“If he needs any equipment, it should be provided to him; his research funds need not go through the research institute’s account. Arrange an independent account for him, and I will regularly transfer money into it.”
Wen Xin’s voice was gentle as she spoke, clearly in a much better mood than when she had previously made phone calls.
“As for that old man, if he causes trouble, let him come directly to me.”
Wen Xin was aware of the reasons Ma Wenyuan didn’t handle the biological laboratory: that old man was from the Independent State and had always refused to submit to Ma Wenyuan’s management. Thus, Ma Wenyuan simply handed over the authority of the biological laboratory to him.
Over the years, that old man seemed to have forgotten to whom the biological laboratory really belonged.
“That old man hasn’t been in the laboratory lately, I heard he’s unwell and staying in the hospital, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to easily free up a whole floor for you. It probably won’t be long before that old man contacts me, but don’t worry, I can handle it.”
Since Ma Wenyuan told her not to worry, Wen Xin didn’t dwell on the matter, “Mm, thank you so much, Uncle Ma, for your efforts!”
Suddenly hearing such pleasant words from Wen Xin, Ma Wenyuan took the phone away from his ear and looked at it to be sure it was Wen Xin’s number.
He really couldn’t believe that those polite words had been spoken by Wen Xin; truly, after all these years, he had never heard Wen Xin talk so courteously.
