Lin Xian’s words,

like the Sword of Damocles, like Crow Brother flipping the table, made everyone present unable to sit still.

One of the vice presidents hurriedly stood up:

"Lin Xian, are you telling the truth?"

Lin Xian nodded.

The vice president hurried over, holding the document bag with both hands, then carefully opened it and took out the *Exclusive Authorization Letter* inside.

"This is indeed Professor Xu Yun's autograph... it's real!"

The vice president excitedly checked the contents of the authorization letter.

Indeed, Xu Yun had unconditionally gifted all rights to this chemical substance to Lin Xian, with Lin Xian making all decisions, and the ending was Xu Yun's autograph.

The vice president's smile instantly froze on his face.

He stared blankly at Lin Xian:

"Lin... Lin Xian, this *Exclusive Authorization Letter* is authorizing it to you, all ownership and revenue rights are yours!"

"Well, after all, this is just a draft authorization letter."

Lin Xian had already thought about how to explain it. He didn't want to say too much to everyone:

"Professor Xu Yun is very busy these days and doesn't have time to deal with these matters, so he entrusted it to me."

"He trusts us very much and said to let us use it first. As for the official document... we can redraft it when he has time later."

…

Lin Xian's words made everyone suddenly understand.

So that's how it is.

That made sense.

But everyone unanimously gave Lin Xian a thumbs up.

They praised Lin Xian for being capable! For being talented!

For actually managing to win over Professor Xu Yun on his own!

For saving MX Company from its predicament!

"Overpraise, overpraise, everyone."

Lin Xian responded to the enthusiasm of the various team leaders and vice presidents with a smile, claiming that he hadn't actually done anything.

But everyone just took it as Lin Xian being humble and polite, and the shouts and applause in the conference room continued for a long time.

Meanwhile, the team leader of the R&D department had been focusing on the thick research data and experimental data.

He looked at it seriously for a long time, and a layer of white mist formed on his glasses:

"That's right, President Zhao, this information details the preparation process and precautions of this chemical substance... and it can be perfectly integrated with our previous work."

"The previous approvals, licenses, and filings can continue to be used, and we can definitely make it in time for the press conference to be held as scheduled."

In just a few minutes,

the atmosphere in the entire conference room underwent a 180-degree reversal.

The pent-up energy in everyone's hearts finally exploded, and they couldn't wait to go back to work immediately and make up for the time they had wasted in the past.

Morale was unprecedentedly high, and MX Company returned to its original unity.

Unstoppable.

…

"This is all thanks to you, Lin Xian."

22nd floor.

Zhao Yingjun's office.

She sat in her office chair, looking at Lin Xian:

"Regarding Professor Xu Yun's matter, you not only helped the company solve a big problem, but also helped me solve a big trouble."

"Thank you very much for helping me out."

Lin Xian shook his head:

"I really didn't do anything. I can only say that Professor Xu Yun values the relationship between teachers and students and trusts me more."

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"I also confirmed it with Professor Xu Yun on the phone just now. What he said was completely different from what you relayed at the morning meeting..."

Lin Xian was just about to explain something, but Zhao Yingjun directly interrupted him:

"Professor Xu Yun specifically instructed me not to ask about the details of what happened between the two of you. You don't need to explain anything to me, Lin Xian. I'm not that kind of gossipy, curious person."

"I called you here because, according to Professor Xu Yun's wishes, I want to sign a formal commercial authorization contract with you."

"Of course, whether to authorize it to MX Company or even authorize it to other companies in the future, these rights are all in your hands. You have absolute ownership of this chemical substance."

"But in return, MX Company will pay a one-time authorization fee and pay you subsequent sales royalties on a monthly basis."

Zhao Yingjun took out a contract, turned it upside down, and pointed to the signature line:

"If you're sure there are no problems, sign here. Once signed... this contract will officially take effect."

Lin Xian briefly looked at the contract.

No problem.

He signed at the signature line.

Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian:

"What are your plans for the future? Are you going to establish a specialized authorization company? Or are you going to retire and enjoy life?"

"Actually, I don't have any plans..."

Lin Xian answered truthfully:

"I still quite like my current job designing Rhine Cat. I've developed feelings for this cat."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to continue working in this team leader position."

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"Of course, there's no problem, but... there may be a slight adjustment later."

"You've made such a big contribution to the company, and you've helped me so much, both publicly and privately. I can't possibly not show any appreciation."

*Ka.*

Lin Xian finished signing the two contracts and capped the pen.

Zhao Yingjun stamped both contracts and returned one of them to Lin Xian:

"Do you have a safe in your office?"

"No," Lin Xian shook his head.

He had only seen safes in the office of the finance team leader and the vice president's office.

"I'll have the logistics department get you one."

Zhao Yingjun started dialing the internal line:

"Lin Xian, you must lock these documents, contracts, and authorization letters in the safe. It would be troublesome if they were lost."

"There's nothing else, go back to work."

*Bang!*

Lin Xian walked out of Zhao Yingjun's office, and the heavy security door behind him slammed shut.

He took a breath...

He didn't know when he would have the opportunity to see that invitation letter again.

This was also the reason why he wanted to continue staying at this company.

If he really resigned and left, he might never find a clue to contact the Genius Club in his life.

…

Two days later, in the afternoon.

Employees from the safe company knocked on the door to say hello:

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Then, they moved a steel safe, more than a meter high, into Lin Xian's office.

One of the employees handed over a bunch of keys:

"Mr. Lin, this safe has a double-insurance structure of key and password. When using it, you must first turn the mechanical dial to enter the password, and then insert the key to open it. The security coefficient is very high."

Lin Xian squatted down, looked at the two overlapping password dials on the safe, and thought of the safe in the dream bank vault... the one with his name on it.

"What if I lose the key, or forget the password?" Lin Xian asked curiously.

The staff member smiled:

"Mr. Lin, if you lose the key, you may be able to hire a very professional locksmith to open it. But... if you forget the password, then this safe will probably never be opened."

"This safe is different from ordinary safes. The internal design is extremely precise... there is basically no possibility of cracking the password."

Lin Xian got up and patted the safe body.

A dull thud.

It looked like it was stamped from solid steel, very strong:

"What if?"

Lin Xian stared at the staff member:

"If I really accidentally forget the password, but the things in the safe are very important, how should I take them out?"

"[Is there any way to open a safe whose password has been forgotten?]"

The staff member scratched his head helplessly:

"If I had to say..."

"There is indeed one last resort!"
