Zhu Yanyi held up the written agreement and waved it slightly. "Most importantly, this is my condition. It is non-negotiable."
Huang Yongtian listened and looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Why did you do that? Even if I don’t cooperate with Huaxia now, we will surely cooperate someday."
"By then, the technology will be outdated. Falling behind means getting beaten," Zhu Yanyi said with a faint smile. "If you, Old Master Huang, want to use this technology for yourself, I have nothing to say. But if you plan to cooperate with others in the end, you must cooperate with Huaxia. When Huaxia is strong, its people are strong, and its economy is strong. It gives those living abroad more confidence. I believe you haven’t failed to see these benefits."
Huang Yongtian thought for a moment and finally said, "I need to consider this. The Huang family conglomerate isn’t just me; there are many people following me. I must think it over."
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "This is all the compensation I want. I don’t care about anything else." She then turned to Gu Jingtian. "Senior Brother, we can leave now."
After walking a few steps, she turned back. "Old Master Huang, you’d best give me an answer soon. Although I am a doctor, doctors aren’t always easy to talk to." With that, she signaled Gu Jingtian and left.
Gu Jingtian nodded upon hearing her cue. she then said to Huang Yongtian, "Old Master Huang, we take our leave."
Huang Yongtian nodded. "Be careful on the road. I won’t keep you." She glanced at Zhu Yanyi, who only smiled at them before leaving with Gu Jingtian.
"Old Du, what do you think? Should we accept this young divine doctor’s conditions?" Huang Yongtian asked the manager beside him, watching their receding figures.
Manager Du smiled and spoke. "Huaxia is already rising. If we can assist them now, it might benefit the Huang family. Besides, the condition requires you to personally sign the agreement. If you refuse, this young divine doctor won’t be easy to dismiss. Her last words were clear: doctors can save lives, but they can also take them. A doctor taking a life is the most terrifying thing. However, we shouldn’t make this decision rashly." Manager Du also watched them leave. "Didn’t they come for the International Medical Exchange Conference? We can wait and see the final results before deciding."
"Junior Sister, why did you say those things to Old Master Huang?" Gu Jingtian asked curiously on the way back. "Aren’t you afraid he’ll be angry?"
"Not afraid," Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "Senior Brother, although our domestic technology is developing, it’s not fast enough. Take communication, for example. Phones are convenient now, but they need wires. Imagine if we had wireless phones, one for every person. Then, sharing news wouldn’t be a worry at all. As far as I know, the Huang family has already developed the first such wireless phone. It’s a bit clumsy and large, about the size of a brick, but portable. If this technology is given to our country, Huaxia will be one step behind in communication."
"Is there really such a thing?" Gu Jingtian couldn’t believe the Huang family’s communication tech was so advanced.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "That’s why I want this core technology. If I tried hard, I might be able to develop it myself, but I don’t have the time."
