Chapter 337: Sadness and Tears Flowing into a River 10
Academician Li said solemnly, "My son, this new reconnaissance aircraft is about to be launched. It's a major scientific achievement. As a core member of this project, your position naturally becomes extremely important and sensitive. Your grandfather Wang and I are worried that foreign spies may infiltrate here. Once they become aware of your presence, they might leak the news, attracting the attention and covetousness of other countries. Therefore, we must attach great importance to your safety. As for your mother, we have already arranged for personnel to protect her and ensure that she is absolutely safe."
Hearing this, Yi Yao quickly refused, "Grandpa Li, please take the trouble to arrange for someone to protect Mom, but I really don't need it. Although I don't have any advanced martial arts, I have mastered some basic escape skills in my daily life, so I won't be easily kidnapped. Besides, I'm still in school. If you specially arrange someone to protect me, it will seem a bit unusual and may even attract strange looks and speculation from my classmates. So please rest assured, if I really encounter any danger, I will definitely seek help from the outside world as soon as possible!"
Academician Li frowned and said seriously, "Don't let your guard down! Those agents are extremely cunning and insidious, making it difficult to guard against them! The slightest carelessness could put you in danger."
After hearing this, Yi Yao smiled slightly and responded with a confident look: "Grandpa Li, don't worry! I have been prepared for a long time. I have carefully prepared a powerful poison for self-defense. Once I encounter a dangerous situation, I will definitely send out a distress signal as soon as possible! Besides, the poison I prepared is just like the hemostatic drug I developed. The effect is absolutely first-class and can be said to be immediate..." After speaking, Yi Yao stood up easily, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and then turned and walked towards the cafeteria, apparently preparing to enjoy a hearty breakfast.
Academician Li watched Yi Yao's retreating figure, a trace of worry still welling up in his heart. However, he also knew that his young apprentice was intelligent and opinionated. He shook his head helplessly, then pulled out his phone and called Number Two. Once the call was connected, Academician Li explained the formula and effects of the Golden Healing Medicine Yi Yao had given him, and also explained his own experimental results. Meanwhile, Academician Li was determined to secure the necessary benefits for his beloved apprentice.
After some negotiation, although Yi Yao's rank was temporarily blocked for promotion due to certain reasons, she still received a generous bonus of 200 million yuan and an additional % share of the Jinchuang Medicine sales profits. This was undoubtedly a significant gain for Yi Yao, and Academician Li happily hung up the phone.
After leaving Academician Li's office, Yi Yao walked briskly to the cafeteria. It was lunchtime, and the cafeteria was crowded, but Yi Yao went straight to the window where Master Guo was sitting. Master Guo handed her a basket of steamed dumplings and a bowl of lean meat congee. Yi Yao found a place to put her food down and prepared to eat.
The steamed dumplings in the basket were small, exquisite, and translucent, their flaky skin revealing the juicy meat filling. The lean meat congee on the side exuded an alluring aroma, whetting one's appetite.
Yi Yao eagerly picked up a steamed dumpling with her chopsticks and placed it in her mouth. With a gentle bite, the thin skin instantly burst open, and the delicious, boiling broth flowed freely through her mouth like a flood. The rich aroma of meat mixed with the savory broth stimulated her taste buds, bringing an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Yi Yao ate with gusto, a happy smile on her face. At this time, Lao Guo, who came from the kitchen and sat down at Yi Yao's table, saw this scene and asked with a smile: "Girl, how is it? It tastes good, right?"
Yi Yao's mouth was full, and she answered vaguely: "Hmm... It's delicious. Uncle Guo, your cooking skills are really amazing!" After that, she quickly lowered her head and continued to enjoy the delicacy.
Hearing Yi Yao's praise, Lao Guo showed a pleased smile on his face. He said, "Haha, as long as you like it. If you think it tastes good, your uncle Guo will make it for you tomorrow!"
Yi Yao raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude, and nodded quickly, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Guo! You are so kind!" After that, she buried her head in a fierce "battle" with the food in front of her.
