They're already in university, and the primary school system is only just starting out?

Chapter 104 Going on a business trip together?

Just as Chen Lin nodded to himself, Shen Yan, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait to pick up the several sheets of draft paper filled with writing, bring them close to her eyes, and carefully read them.

However, less than two minutes later, she gently shook her head, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, a helpless bitter smile appeared on her face, and she put the draft paper back on the table.

I really don't understand it.

She recognized each individual symbol, but when these symbols were combined in a way she had never seen before to form a logically seamless whole, it was beyond her existing knowledge.

Looking at her adorable expression of both distress and admiration, Chen Lin felt a surge of amusement and almost blurted out a flirtatious remark.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Sun Yu beside him out of the corner of his eye, he swallowed his words back.

Sigh, with employees around, you have to be mindful of your boss's image.

Just then, the crisp sound of Huang Yiyi's high heels approached from afar.

"Mr. Chen, I've prepared the contract template you requested."

She handed a printed document to Chen Lin with astonishing efficiency.

Chen Lin took the contract and glanced at it, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. As expected of a professional, the contract's terms were watertight, with clearly defined rights and responsibilities, perfectly meeting his requirements.

He picked up the pen on the table and wrote a number in the amount column at the end with a flourish.

【Ten thousand yuan (¥10,000.00)】

Then, he handed the contract to Sun Yu and instructed, "Brother Sun, contact the people at Chuangjiyuan right now, take a picture of this contract and send it to them. Tell them that if they are willing to sign the contract and pay, they can send someone to Tianjin. At that time, I will help them solve the real technical problems in person."

"Yes, Mr. Chen!"

Although Sun Yu still had some doubts, feeling that charging 10,000 yuan for a single test question was a bit too much, he now had an almost blind trust in Chen Lin's decision.

Without saying a word, he took the contract, turned around and went back to his workstation to start making phone calls.

At this point, only Chen Lin and Shen Yan remain at Chen Lin's workstation.

Chen Lin turned his head to look at Shen Yan and raised his eyebrows at her smugly.

Shen Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. But fearing that others would see it, she quickly regained her cool expression, though the smile lingered in her clear eyes.

Chen Lin leaned closer and lowered his voice, asking, "Alright, now it's your turn. What kind of big client did you find for the company?"

When she heard that they were talking about serious matters, Shen Yan's expression also became serious.

She placed the books she had brought on the table and introduced them softly, "It's from an innovative drug development company called Huanrun Pharmaceuticals. I've done some research, and their most pressing need is to optimize the longest and most costly part of the new drug development process—clinical trials."

"Clinical trials?" Chen Lin was a complete novice in this field.

"Hmm." Shen Yan nodded, clearly having done her homework beforehand, explaining clearly and logically, "According to the information I found, the world's leading pharmaceutical giants are all using advanced statistical techniques to improve the efficiency of clinical trials. For example, Bayesian statistical methods and adaptive clinical trial design."

Seeing the confusion on Chen Lin's face, she explained further: "Simply put, it's about making clinical trial protocols more flexible. For example, during the trial, the dosage can be dynamically adjusted based on the accumulated data, or the criteria for selecting patients can be modified. The ultimate goal is to obtain more reliable conclusions with a smaller sample size and in a shorter time."

At this point, Shen Yan's tone carried a hint of regret: "Huanrun Pharmaceuticals is already considered a very far-sighted company in China, and it has begun to make attempts in this area, but their basic research team seems to have encountered a bottleneck, and the progress is very slow."

Therefore, they are currently seeking external experts who can provide assistance in this area through various channels.

After listening to Shen Yan's clear and organized explanation, Chen Lin immediately understood what was going on.

He asked with great interest, "So, does this Huanrun Pharmaceutical Company also have some test questions prepared for me to show off my skills?"

"No." Shen Yan shook her head, a hint of seriousness in her clear eyes. "Their request is very direct. The information says they hope to have an in-person meeting with our technical lead."

"A face-to-face meeting?" Chen Lin raised an eyebrow. "Should we have their people come to Tianjin, or should we go there ourselves?"

Shen Yan flipped through her notebook, pointed to a line of information, and said, "They left their address and contact information, hoping we can go to Haizhou."

"Haizhou?"

Upon hearing the place name, Chen Lin couldn't help but smile with surprise.

That's just a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu Province, not far from my hometown, Jiangdu.

Huanrun Pharmaceuticals is practically a fellow townsman.

He quickly considered it in his mind and decided that going wouldn't hurt, since transportation was convenient nowadays.

A thought suddenly popped into his head. He turned to look at Shen Yan beside him, a playful smile curving his lips, and asked, "So, how about it? Interested in going on a business trip with me?"

"what?"

Shen Yan was clearly taken aback by his sudden invitation, and her clear, watery eyes widened slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a faint blush spread silently from her fair earlobe all the way to her cheek.

On business trip?

With him?

Just the two of them?

A series of thoughts flashed through her mind, causing her usually calm heart to race uncontrollably.

Its heartbeat quickened.

Chen Lin's enhanced eyesight, amplified by his "Little Champion" title, allowed him to keenly detect the unusual activity at the other end of the office with the corner of his eye, as if equipped with a wide-angle lens.

Sun Yu, who was on the phone contacting a client, and Huang Yiyi, who was screening resumes, almost simultaneously and with extremely subtle movements, turned their heads and looked at themselves and Shen Yan.

Chen Lin could feel that intense aura of Bagua fire even from more than ten meters away.

However, the moment they noticed Chen Lin's gaze sweeping over them, the two quickly turned their heads back as if nothing had happened. One continued talking on the phone, while the other continued typing furiously on the keyboard, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Chen Lin chuckled inwardly. Goodness, the company has only just been established, and the culture of gossiping has already begun to take root and sprout.

He pretended not to see it, still smiling as he looked at the somewhat flustered Shen Yan, waiting for her answer.

Shen Yan lowered her head slightly and remained silent for a few seconds.

Just when Chen Lin thought she would shyly refuse, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes bravely meeting Chen Lin's gaze, and then gently hummed in a very soft but unusually firm voice.

Seeing her nod, Chen Lin's smile deepened.

He clapped his hands in satisfaction, settling the matter, and then said to Shen Yan, "Okay, then it's settled. But don't rush to schedule a time with the other party. We have to take things one step at a time. Let me finish things here at Creation Era first, and then we'll go to Haizhou."

"Okay." Shen Yan nodded, indicating that she understood.
