Delh hesitated slightly. “However, as far as I know, there is no traditional medicine outpatient department in your hospital. In addition, Dr. Markey, do you intend to coborate with me on what identity?

    “Currently, traditional medicine has a contract with the Central Research Institute, plus the National Hospital. At most, it’s joint research. What about your hospital?”

    Jannik was somewhat troubled.

    He said, “I will negotiate with the hospital regarding joint research. If that proves unsessful, I will resign and join your research team as an individual. Would this arrangement be eptable?”

    He adopted an exceptionally humble attitude, which took Josie by surprise. Compared to the attitudes of Xander and Keh, the difference was like heaven

    and earth.

    “That is unnecessary.” Delh waved her hand:

    She said, “It’s hard to say what the oue of our research will be. After all, we’ve chosen a niche field. On top of that, acupuncture works slowly and requires a long research cycle.

    “I’m afraid that,pared to other research teams, neither the speed of publication nor the final research achievements is likely to bring any honor to you, Dr. Markey.

    Jannik hurriedly spoke up, “I am not doing this for honor. If I were after honor, why would I choose to be a doctor? Wouldn’t it be better for me to devote myself entirely to research? My only goal is to treat patients, save lives, and solve more medical problems.”

    What a benevolent doctor! Compared to David’s selfishness, Josie looked at Jannik with newfound respect in her eyes.

    “Alright then, Dr. Markey, wee to join the group at any time,” said Delh.

    The matter was thus settled. Without further dy, Delh and Josie made an appointment for the next consultation. Then they left the hospital.

    Just before they left the hospital, David and Audrey blocked Xander and Keh, who were leaving, at the hospital entrance!

    Upon seeing David and Audrey, Keh found an outlet for his otherwise unexpressed anger:

    “You two aren’t exactly young anymore. Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I’ve told you, Mr. Nelson…

    “Keh!” Xander cast a nce at Keh, signaling him to be quiet.

    “Please don’t take offense. We’ve just obtained a substantial amount of information from Mr. Longley. Our time is tight, and Keh doesn’t want to waste any. However, since you both are so persistent, let’s have a chat.”

    A look of joy appeared on the faces of David and Audrey. They followed Xander and Keh and got into the car!

    After stepping out of the car, David shed his earlier gloom and appeared refreshed and invigorated. He remarked, “With Mr. Nelson’s support, there’s no way my research won’t seed.”

    “Indeed. I truly didn’t expect Mr. Nelson would agree to provide us with technical support and even be willing to lend us a research team,” Audrey was also especially surprised.

    Clearlyi, /iXander and Keh’s attitude was firm earlier, but it haspletely changed in just over an hour. Could it be that Lonnard made them change their minds?

    “However, David, have you considered why? Could it be that they changed their attitude because they’re interested in your research?” Audrey suddenly grew concerned again.

    She was afraid Lonnard intended to snatch away David’s research achievements.

    David waved his hand and shook his head. “That’s impossible, I guess…”

    He lowered his voice to a whisper, “It was Mr. Longley who decided to retire, and Mr. Nelson bis /bgoing to be the new director!”

    David knew it would be his day to shine once Xander rose to power. Sooner orter, all his newly submitted project proposals would be approved.

    Xander’s earlier refusal was merely a pretense, made out of consideration for Lonnard’s reputation.

    ‘Delh wants to take me on? Not a chance. And Josie, who thinks she’s all grown up now! Wait and see how I will break off her wings,‘ thought David.

    Upon seeing the proud expression on David’s face, Audrey also felt at ease. With the Longley family finally beginning to decline, the Kinberg family atst had ia /ichance to rise.

    It was just that…

    Audrey grabbed David.

    “David, the matter regarding the research institute’s venue was thanks to Natalie. You know your team’s project received the Third Prize, and the director has been a bit unhappy about it.

    “I have been maneuvering around Jeremy to prevent the director from directly allocating the venue to him. Now that we have secured a newly leased venue, the project can finally proceed normally. So, do you think Natalie can join the team?
