Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 348 Professor Song!

"I apologize for not coming out to greet you, Mr. Song," said the man with snow-white hair as he approached swiftly with a robust energy.

This man was none other than Professor Lu, the head of the Grey Deer Research Institute.

"I wonder if you're satisfied with the new research institute, Professor Lu?"

Song Yun said with a smile, "Since I've already invested two billion, I'm not going to quibble over trivial matters. If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, just let me know, and I'll have President Si give you his full support!"

These words warmed Professor Lu's heart.

In his lifetime, he had been part of countless research institutes, but he had never come across an investor as easy-going as Song Yun.

Those people were either chasing fame and profit or overly frugal, wanting to split a penny in two and often cutting requested funds down to a fraction by the time they reached him, significantly less than expected.

Thus, to people like him, having a wealthy yet hands-off financial backer was no different from having God himself on their side!

These days, the heads of the other research institutes at Magic Capital University looked at him with jealousy in their eyes—they were green with envy!

Damn it, what is the most important thing for a research institute?

It's the equipment!

New technology often requires a host of new equipment to provide ongoing technical support!

But, as good as this new equipment is, there's one thing that can make it painful - the cost!

As the saying goes all around the world, you get what you pay for, and those essentials for the researchers came with astronomical price tags!

With a total of thirty-six research institutes at Magic Capital University, if there was no limit on spending and each institute operated like the Grey Deer Research Institute, disregarding the cost, even Song Yun would be bankrupt in a few months!

After all, research has always been like a bottomless pit.

No one knows whether their research is useful or even if they're heading in the right direction.

Should there be an error at any point, all the money previously spent might just go down the drain!

So when the other institute heads saw the shiny new equipment at Professor Lu's disposal, they were so envious they almost wished they could set their own places on fire!!!

"Please, Professor Lu, would you take me to see everyone's working environment?"

Song Bu asked curiously; after all, he didn't recall such a person.

"It's natural for eminent people to forget, you once held a genetics symposium in Forty-nine City which I was fortunate enough to attend. I strongly agreed with some of the points you made at that conference, and my research direction over these years has been based on what you said back then!"

Professor Lu now resembled a fan who had just met a celebrity, with stars shining in his eyes.

"Oh, that time!"

Song Bu replied quite indifferently, "I didn't think anyone would still remember me. That's not easy!"

"What you say, your points back then were absolutely refreshing to me!"

Professor Lu said jovially, "And I never expected you to be Mr. Song's father; we really must be fated. I wonder if Professor Song would consider joining our research institute? If you join, I'd be willing to assist you!"

The moment those words were spoken, the researchers who were organizing materials around them were all stunned. What was happening???

Had their ears made a mistake???

Did Professor Lu just offer to hand over the leadership to a stranger they did not know???

They knew that the Grey Deer Research Institute was Professor Lu's life's work, like a son to him!!!

Was he now saying he would just give his son's son away to someone else?

Just who was this person that Professor Lu called Professor Song???

"Well..."

Song Bu seemed a bit troubled as he said, "I'm sorry, but I better not. After all, if I come, your institute would probably have to deal with another fire incident."

Song Bu knew that the people from those hidden families were watching him, and once he showed any intention of joining, it wouldn't just be a matter of being let go. It would be an issue of cutting off at the root—which would mean those researchers who knew the data!

Song Bu did not want to see these people leave this beautiful world because of him!

"Why not? You know, with your guidance, the gene potion will definitely be perfected! Why don't you consider it!"

Professor Lu was still not giving up.

"No, no, if there's anything you don't know, though, you can always ask me."
