My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 143 She Admitted
Zhuang Xiao followed Shu Die and walked forward.

After walking around the auditorium for a while, we arrived at the university administration building.

There's a lot of security here.

When they arrived at the door of a meeting room, the assistant pushed An Lan in first.

Shu Die also followed in.

When he arrived at Zhuang Xiao, he was stopped by two people at the door.

"Sorry, routine check." The man on the left had a blank expression on his face, looking back and forth at Zhuang Xiao.

Zhuang Xiao's eyes passed over An Lan, wondering whether he should rush over right now.

But even if he was eighty or even ninety percent sure that An Lan was the starting point and end point of the "story line" of Gu Shiyue's death, what if it was just that ten percent?
That would be troublesome.

But at this moment, An Lan turned her head and gave an order, and then the assistant who was bending over to listen straightened up and ordered: "Professor An said that he is Mr. Shu's assistant, let him come over."

The plainclothes officer standing guard at the door let Zhuang Xiao in after hearing this.

However, their eyes were always vigilantly fixed on the backs of Zhuang Xiao and Shu Die, and they would rush over and take them down as soon as they made the slightest movement.

Zhuang Xiao ignored their gazes, just nodded, said thank you, and walked in and sat next to Shu Die.

And An Lan was sitting on the other side of Shu Die.

Zhuang Xiao looked around the conference room.

The conference room was quite large. Although the door was closed at the moment, there were four security guards with expressionless faces standing upright at the door.

From what Zhuang Xiao knew, he could tell from their standing postures that these four people were probably not police officers, but soldiers.

This gave him a better understanding of An Lan's status.

But it's also weirder.

Why would a powerful person of this status try to snatch Gu Shiyue's small achievements?

Let’s not talk about whether the medicine for treating amblyopia is so important. Even if it is, she can’t afford it.

Moreover, Gu Shiyue's research at that time was only at the initial stage and was still a long way from being able to be put on the market.

Zhuang Xiao looked around. Apart from the four big brothers at the door, there were only Zhuang Xiao, Shu Die, An Lan and her assistant in the conference room.

The school leader just exchanged a few words and left, leaving this place to them.

Zhuang Xiao frowned slightly, as if he always had an illusion that An Lan was paying attention to him.

But when he occasionally glanced back, he found that An Lan was looking at Shu Die.

It feels weird.

"Mr. Shu is really a promising young man. I didn't expect that your father would let you handle such a matter." An Lan smiled gently, looking at Shu Die as if she were a real elder.

Shu Die pursed her lips and said, "You're too polite. You are the role model for us women. Moreover, when you were my age, you had already returned to China and developed the first computer in my country!"

Indeed, Shudie is twenty-two years old this year.

An Lan was born in 1940. She returned to China at the age of 20 to start computer research and development. In less than two years, she developed the first computer in the country. It is even said that she made a significant contribution to the subsequent research and development of the two bombs and one satellite.

Shu Die's achievements are indeed outstanding among her peers, but they are still far behind An Lan.

Besides, she still has to rely on her father, but An Lan has achieved her current status single-handedly on her own.

After a few more polite greetings, the topic finally got on track.

An Lan asked, "Does Shushi Group really want to invest in my research institute? Generally, this kind of investment takes a long time to pay back, perhaps decades, and there is also a high probability that it will all be in vain. Are you really willing?"

Shu Die smiled reservedly with a sense of distance, "You're welcome. Although my father is a businessman, he was also a soldier in the frontier in the past. He even worked in a factory for more than ten years after he was discharged from the army.

“Although he later returned to the family business and achieved some success, he has always been a patriotic businessman who cares about his motherland and often sighs when he sees scientific research projects being disbanded in the news.

“That’s why he decided to provide financial support to your organization. Not just your organization, but also to the management and greening of the Gobi Desert, and the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, etc. As long as it is a scientific research project that benefits the country and the people, and the country allows it, our Comfort Group will make appropriate investments.

"We don't ask for anything in return, we just want the people to live a better life."

"Is that so? Mr. Shu is truly a patriotic entrepreneur." An Lan looked quite touched. Zhuang Xiao, who was sitting on the side, almost laughed out loud.

Maybe Uncle Shu does have patriotic feelings, but not to the point of not asking for anything in return.

Besides, the so-called investment was actually something Shu Die asked her father to do, and the purpose was actually for Zhuang Xiao to meet An Lan today.

On the way here, Shu Die was still reciting those passionate speeches in the notepad on her mobile phone.

The lyrics were even written for her by Zhuang Xiao himself!

And Shu Die was able to recite it without changing her expression, and even said it with a little emotion.
Sure enough, those with the worst acting skills all went into the entertainment industry.

After all, there can be NGs in acting, but there are no NGs in other circles.

After An Lan sighed, she advised kindly, "But I still want to advise your company to think about it carefully."

Shu Die was stunned. This was not the result she expected.

So she asked, "Is there any inconvenience? If there are restrictions from the country, we are willing to comply."

"No, I used my personal funds to support this project." An Lan explained with a smile, and then said: "Actually, it's my personal reason. I know your company wants to invest in this project because of me, but I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. In fact, I will be stepping down soon."

Zhuang Xiao frowned slightly.

Resign?

Resigning when the first phase of clinical trials is about to begin?
Then why did she snatch Gu Shiyue's research results?
It couldn't be that Gu Shiyue really died accidentally, and then in order to prevent her beloved disciple's research from being buried, she set up a research institute at her own expense to help with the research.

He pinched Shudie's thigh under the table.

Shu Die then asked calmly: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, it's because I'm not in good health." An Lan explained with a smile, "Actually, I've been diagnosed with advanced brain cancer. I can probably live another six months."

The smile on her face was still calm and composed, as if she was talking about someone else.

"That's it"

Shu Die was speechless for a moment, and she couldn't help but look at Zhuang Xiao.

Zhuang Xiaoke can't wait for half a year.

So he ignored his current identity and asked, "Professor An, my name is Zhuang Xiao. You may not know me, but do you still remember Zhuang Peng?"

Zhuang Peng is his father's name.

"Xiao Peng, of course I remember. I held him in my arms before. Even his parents met through me."

An Lan looked at Zhuang Xiao with a smile, "Just now I felt that this child looked familiar, are you Xiaopeng's child?"

Zhuang Xiao nodded, "Yes, Zhuang Peng is my father."

As soon as he said this, An Lan waved his hand, and the assistant who had originally intended to stop him from speaking sat back.

"Ah Xiao, that's what I'm calling you." An Lan looked at him with a smile, "Just now I saw that you were fidgeting, is there something you want to ask me?"

Shu Die suddenly spoke up, "He has had amblyopia in his right eye since he was a child, and it has never been cured."

An Lan didn't seem surprised. She nodded slightly, "I see. It's just that it's not the right time for the first phase of clinical trials. It will take at least three to four years for the drug to be officially launched on the market. This is the time it will take if everything goes well and the green light is on. You can wait a little longer."

Zhuang Xiao remained silent.

Shu Die gently pulled the hem of his clothes under the table.

Zhuang Xiao suddenly raised his head and decided not to wait any longer.

So he spoke decisively, "When I was in junior high school, I had a female classmate named Gu Shiyue. She also said that she wanted to research drugs to treat amblyopia."

He stared at An Lan with burning eyes, and then said word by word: "But, she disappeared later."

An Lan was startled, then a little sad, "That child. That child was my disciple, and her death was also because of me."
