It turned out that Yang Yunhe's efforts were very effective, and on the third day after he received his reward, Tong He suddenly appeared before Yang Yunhe.
“Director Tong, your condition seems a bit off!” Yang Yunhe said with concern upon seeing Tong He. Yang Yunhe noticed that Tong He’s eyes were completely dark, and his skin was dry and sallow, clearly the result of a long period without sleep.
“It’s alright, it’s almost over. After this, I’ll give myself a month’s leave to recuperate properly!” Tong He said with a wry smile.
“Where does Director Tong plan to recuperate?” Yang Yunhe asked casually. Tong He chuckled and didn’t answer. It wasn’t that Tong He was unwilling to say, but rather that Tong He had learned from experience.
He had disclosed his whereabouts once before, and almost got kidnapped by locals. Fortunately, Jiangnan Group had secretly sent several bodyguards to follow him, who rescued Yang Yunhe in time and also uncovered a case involving a foreign organization. However, Tong He clearly did not want to take such risks again.
So, he chose not to say anything, as it would also put Yang Yunhe in danger.
“But I came mainly to thank you this time!” Tong He said seriously, “Team Leader Yang, thank you very much for your help. Without you, we would never have achieved such great success!”
“Ah!!” Yang Yunhe was a bit stunned because he didn’t even understand what Tong He was talking about.
Tong He clearly realized that this thanks was very awkward, but due to the non-disclosure agreement, Tong He couldn’t explain the specific reasons and could only simply explain, “Thanks to the liquid polymer and fiber you invented, it helped me solve a problem that had troubled me for three full years, and also helped us develop a brand new material. Your contribution is truly immense!”
“So that’s how it is!” Yang Yunhe nodded and couldn’t help but ask, “Have you developed any precious new materials?”
“This…” Tong He couldn’t answer, as this was also absolutely confidential. However, not answering seemed inappropriate. Just as Tong He was about to refuse, a hearty voice laughed, “Director Tong, you can say it, I approve!” xxs壹贰
“Boss! Why are you here?” Hearing this voice, Tong He said with surprise. Yang Yunhe quickly turned his head and was astonished to find that it was Huang He himself who had spoken.
“Hahaha, I read the report you submitted, and I couldn’t sleep all night yesterday. I rushed over this morning, determined to see this so-called number 1478 with my own eyes!” Huang He said with a laugh.
“I understand, I’ll take you to the laboratory right away!” Tong He said quickly, and then turned to apologize to Yang Yunhe, “Director Yang, I’m very sorry, I have to leave for now. I’ll come back in a few days to thank you again!”
“It’s alright! You really don’t need to thank me like this. We are all working for science! This is all I should do!” Yang Yunhe said quickly.
“Team Leader Yang, I heard that you also made a great contribution this time. Without your newly invented material, Director Tong wouldn’t have made such big news!” Boss Huang said to Yang Yunhe with a smile, and enthusiastically took Yang Yunhe’s hand, which made Yang Yunhe extremely excited.
“This, my contribution is very small and not worth such praise!”
“Alas, if your contribution is considered small, then no one in the world has made a great contribution. The anti-gravity engine, the liquid clothing fiber, and I heard you’ve recently developed a human electrode material. You’ve only been at the research center for half a year, but the achievements you’ve brought forth are something our center might not even accomplish in a year. You are a great contributor to our Jiangnan Group!”
As Boss Huang spoke, he quickly took Tong He’s hand and said, “Both of you are the same, great contributors, my treasures! For next year’s Huang He Award, I think you both have a chance!” Huang He was so happy that his mouth was about to split. After all, any of these achievements could be world-changing inventions. Giving the Huang He Award to Yang Yunhe was truly not a loss!
Yang Yunhe was also very excited because as Jiangnan Group became wealthier, the prize money for the Huang He Award also increased. The bonus for a single award had now risen to 100 million RMB. With so much money, Yang Yunhe didn’t know how to spend it.
In comparison, Goldman Sachs Group seemed increasingly detestable. If only his weakness hadn’t been held over him…
“By the way, Team Leader Yang, why don’t you come with me later to see what world-changing invention Director Tong has developed now!” Boss Huang said cheerfully.
“Boss, is that appropriate? I…” Yang Yunhe hesitated.
“What’s appropriate and what’s not? Could it be that you, Team Leader Yang, are a spy?” Boss Huang laughed heartily.
“You never know, what if I am!” Yang Yunhe said this on an impulse and immediately regretted it. Wasn’t this admitting it himself?
“Hahahaha!” To his surprise, Huang He laughed even more happily. “What spy in the world would invent three world-changing materials and inventions for me within half a year like you, Team Leader Yang? If there is one, then I want as many such spies as possible, and I’ll give them all bonuses. I’m afraid the enemy wouldn’t bear to part with them, hahaha!”
With Boss Huang having said this, Yang Yunhe naturally couldn’t refuse. Furthermore, he was genuinely very interested in the new material developed by Tong He. So, he half-heartedly followed the two of them towards the depths of the research institute.
Although Yang Yunhe already had very high authority and could enter most areas of the research institute, there was one passage that Yang Yunhe absolutely could not enter.
This passage was located in the deepest part of the research center. It had only one entrance and was guarded by over 20 people, along with a large amount of security equipment. It was rumored that this passage even had some lethal weapons installed inside, making it even more dangerous than any Yunnan insect cave.
The first time Yang Yunhe entered, his guide had repeatedly warned him that he absolutely could not enter without permission or a request… let alone enter, even getting close was forbidden.
And now, led by Tong He and Huang He, this mysterious passage was completely opened to Tong He.
After Yang Yunhe entered the passage, he discovered that there were more passages behind this passage, with various strict security measures. Each passage seemed to have its own secrets hidden behind it. Yang Yunhe could only follow Tong He and Boss Huang, not daring to fall behind, because he had no authority or identity. If he fell behind, he would likely be arrested immediately.
Fortunately, the distance was not long. Soon, the three of them entered a small door, and then they saw the large laboratory where Tong He had conducted his experiments.
At this time, there were not many people in the entire laboratory, only three people on duty.
“Boss, I didn’t know you were coming, and most of the researchers here have been working through the night for several nights. I’ve sent them back to catch up on sleep. I’ll demonstrate for you today!” Tong He explained proactively. Boss Huang was greatly moved and stated in front of everyone, “You are all contributors to our Jiangnan Group. All researchers who participated in the experimental projects will each receive 100,000 RMB as my personal bonus!”
Boss Huang’s words immediately caused a burst of warm applause and also made the people present marvel at what a truly good boss was!
“Is this the number 1478 you mentioned?” Huang He walked to the center of the laboratory and looked at the sample inside through the glass enclosure.
“It’s Jia Shen No. 1478 sample!” Tong He said with a smile.
“Jia Shen No. 1478 sample? The name alone suggests there are many other samples. How many samples did you all tinker with in this experiment?” Boss Huang asked curiously.
“Boss, the quantity can actually be calculated from the number. Jia Shen is the 21st of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and 1478 is the serial number. Among them, 9999 is the maximum, so this Jia Shen No. 1478 sample is actually 211,457 samples!” Tong He explained.
“A full 210,000 defective products, you have all worked very hard!” Hearing this number, Huang He was filled with reverence.
“Actually, it wasn’t a number specifically set for the development of this material!” Tong He rubbed his head and said honestly, “It’s the accumulated number since we started conducting compound experiments with black gold. Not all 210,000 samples are defective. Many of them are materials with very special and precious properties!”
As he spoke, Tong He looked at Yang Yunhe again and said, “Thank you very much, Team Leader Yang, this time. If it weren’t for your invention of the liquid super-polymer fiber, and the fact that Gui Wei No. 4869 sample was missing some properties of the liquid fiber, I would have cautiously attempted to mix the two compounds, which led to the birth of Jia Shen No. 1478 sample. Otherwise, it would have taken us many more years of experimentation to finally find such a perfect compound!”
Tong He said with emotion, and Yang Yunhe by his side finally understood why Tong He had run over to thank him without sleep. It turned out that this miraculous new material incorporated the material he invented… oh no, it was technology from Goldman Sachs, so he should thank Goldman Sachs!
They were the true benefactors!
