Rebirth of a Doctor Without Regrets

Chapter 109 The President on the Rooftop

Jia Lin's figure disappeared into the elevator, and Zhu Chunhua turned her head, looking sullen.

She has been immersed in scientific research for many years, focusing all her energy on publishing papers. She rarely interacts with pharmaceutical companies and is even less familiar with the intricacies of research and development.

In her view, as long as the treatment plan has clinical value, the other party should take it seriously, but she did not expect to be treated so lightly.

After all, she's already at a high level, and she's a rising star at the forefront of academia.

Wang Xiao wasn't surprised at all. He had worked at Aibo Medical for so long in his previous life that he knew the company's style of doing things all too well.

The R&D department either connects with department heads and hospital executives, or with renowned expert teams.

A combination like theirs wouldn't even catch the eye of a junior project manager. Sending a newcomer like Jia Lin to give her some practice is already considered a favor.

The two remained silent for a long time, and Zhu Chunhua's face showed a hint of frustration.

"What should we do? Should we look for other companies? We finally have a technical approach, but if we can't develop the mold, we can't move forward with the subsequent paper refinement and technical promotion."

Wang Xiao glanced at the pretty receptionist at the company, his eyes darting around as if he had thought of something. A confident smile crept onto his lips.

He reached out and pulled Zhu Chunhua up: "Don't panic, come with me, we'll go find someone who can make the decision."

Zhu Chunhua was taken aback: "Find someone who can make the final decision? We don't even know who their leader is, how are we supposed to find them?"

Wang Xiao didn't explain, but simply took her hand and quickly walked across the lobby toward the elevator.

The elevator doors opened, and he pressed the button for the top floor, which was the exclusive office area of ​​the boss of Aibo Medical, inaccessible to ordinary people.

Zhu Chunhua was startled and lowered her voice so that no one else in the elevator could hear: "Xiao, are you crazy? Are you just going to barge in?"

We don't have permission to get in!

Wang Xiao turned around and smiled at her, feigning mystery: "Don't worry, I have a plan."

The elevator ascended smoothly, and other people exited one after another. The numbers kept changing until it finally stopped at the top floor.

Only the two of them remained in the elevator. The doors slowly opened, revealing not an office area, but a tightly closed glass door.

The door was fitted with a combination lock, and the screen flashed a cold light, clearly a security barrier.

Zhu Chunhua subconsciously stopped in her tracks, her face full of difficulty: "See, I told you we couldn't get in, so let's just—"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Wang Xiao walk straight forward and quickly press a string of numbers on the combination lock with his fingertips, his movements as practiced as if he had done it a thousand times.

嘀—

A crisp notification sound rang out, and the glass doors slowly opened to the sides, revealing a magnificent high-end office area inside.

Zhu Chunhua was completely stunned, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Wang Xiao: "You—how did you know the password?"

This young resident doctor seems to be hiding too many secrets from her.

Wang Xiao glanced at her sideways, a faint smile playing on his lips, and gently ruffled her hair: "It's a secret, I'll tell you later. Let's settle our business first."

After saying that, he pulled Zhu Chunhua into the top-floor office area.

Upon entering, Zhu Chunhua was stunned by the sight before her.

In stark contrast to the clean and efficient office environment downstairs, the decor here is unbelievably luxurious.

The marble floor is as smooth as a mirror, the walls are adorned with expensive oil paintings, and there are uniquely designed leather sofas and solid wood desks. In the corner, there is a huge crystal chandelier that makes the entire office area look exceptionally grand.

The adjacent rest area even has a small bar and a freezer, exuding luxury and sophistication.

Strangely, the large office area was completely empty.

It was so quiet you could hear your own footsteps; the only sound was the faint hum of the central air conditioning, which felt somewhat eerie.

Zhu Chunhua subconsciously tightened her grip on Wang Xiao's hand, her fingertips slightly cold. "Wang Xiao, the boss isn't here. Let's hurry up and leave. It'll be troublesome if the security guards find out."

Wang Xiao smiled. After all, she was a girl, and it was inevitable that she would feel uneasy in such a spacious yet luxurious and unfamiliar environment.

He remained completely calm and instead led her to the freezer in the rest area. He opened the door, revealing a neat array of alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and mineral water.

He casually took out a can of chilled beer, pulled the tab, and took a sip, his movements as natural as if he were at home.

"Don't be afraid, there won't be any security guards here." Wang Xiao smiled and handed Zhu Chunhua a can of juice, looking at her nervous face. "Have some of this and relax."

Zhu Chunhua took the juice and placed it on the bar, still very nervous.

Wang Xiao was even more pleased with her behavior; this was the kind of thing you should do all the time when you're trying to pick up girls.

Taking a girl to exciting places and making her heart race can significantly enhance the romantic effect.

This is called the suspension bridge effect, a psychological phenomenon in which people, under stress or excitement, tend to mistakenly attribute their physical symptoms, such as a faster heartbeat and rapid breathing, to emotional reactions to specific people around them, thus generating a feeling similar to love or intense emotions.

However, their relationship seems more like Zhu Chunhua hooking up with a younger man.

After finishing a sip of beer, Wang Xiao, pulling Zhu Chunhua along, headed towards an indoor spiral staircase in the corner of the office area.

The spiral staircase is made of wood and winds its way upwards, leading to a higher place.

"Come with me, the people who actually make the decisions are at the top."

The two slowly walked up the spiral staircase. At the end of the staircase was a glass door. Pushing open the glass door, a refreshing breeze rushed in. This was the rooftop.

The rooftop is large, covered with non-slip tiles, and has transparent safety railings around the edges.

Standing here, you can overlook most of the city's streetscape.

On the edge of the rooftop stood a tall white man.

The man was in his forties, nearly two meters tall, with a robust build. He was wearing a casual suit, holding a can of beer, with his back to them, gazing at the distant skyscrapers, looking somewhat forlorn.

The sound of the glass door being pushed open startled the man.

He whirled around, his face instantly turning wary. His hand instinctively reached for his pocket, and he snapped in broken Chinese, "Who are you? How did you get in? I'm calling security!"

Wang Xiao knew him all too well.

He is Robert Mueller, President of Iberia Healthcare Asia Pacific, an introverted yet ambitious individual.

He rarely appears in company meetings, but often has private conversations with a few close confidants on the rooftop.

Wang Xiao was one of his confidants in his previous life.

The top floor and the rooftop are both top-secret areas. No one except Robert himself is qualified to come up here. To him, these two people are obviously intruders.

Zhu Chunhua was startled by Robert's stern tone and instinctively stepped forward to apologize, quickly saying, "I'm sorry, sir, we didn't mean to trespass, we just—"

"Wait." Wang Xiao grabbed her and stepped forward to block Zhu Chunhua.

He began by speaking a fluent and standard German phrase: "HerrMuller, weißdeinVater, dassdu"

und deine Stiefmutter eine Affäre habt? "

The moment Robert heard German, the stern look on his face vanished, but his eyes became even more wary.

He stared intently at Wang Xiao, his eyes filled with surprise, then with a hint of inquiry, and continued to ask in fluent Chinese, "Your German is very good, so how can I help you two?"
