Chapter 235 - International Biology Conference (1/2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Jin City was quiet as the Sheng family and the Chen family prepared for their final showdown. However, little did the Chen family know that most other factions in the city had already formed an alliance; including Qin Hua and many other opposing factions. The sudden rise of the Chen family had undoubtedly unnerved a lot of people.

Meanwhile, the International Biology Conference had just started at Jin City University.

Most of the attendees at the conference were young researchers from all over the world. Since many tyc.o.o.ns of the world-renowned Pharmaceutical companies and expert Biologists were going to be present, the Jin City University had spared no expense in preparing for this event. The school had rallied students to clean up and decorate the campus. They also hired many volunteers to welcome the guests.

“Professor Chen, I wish you could be a keynote speaker at the conference on behalf of the Jin City University. To show the world what we have achieved in the research of Yun Wu Spirit Water under your leaders.h.i.+p.” Xue Jiao trailed behind Chen Fan and asked quietly under her breath.

Ever since they were back from the Cla.s.s Reunion, Chen Fan’s a.s.sistant had been feeling sorry for what happened. Because of her, Chen Fan was humiliated by Zhang Baojun in front of everyone.

“Yun Wu Spirit Water?” Chen Fan nodded.

The Yun Wu Spirit Water existing production capacity was only enough to satisfy the elite market. However, if Chen Fan could make use of the plot at the East Mountain Meadow, the production of the water could be significantly boosted. The invention of the Catalyst Essence Serum alone would be a piece of sensational news among the scientific world. Many wealthy investors would compete with each other to get the technology for a profit. Although Chen Fan had a larger goal than simply making money, in order to set up a team to help him with producing spirit medicine he needed as much financial support as possible.

“I have heard that Mr. Jason is going to attend the conference as well. He is a n.o.bel prize winner. He is a columnist at Cell and Nature journals. His current Miracle Cell research was a contender for the next n.o.bel prize in biology.” Chen Fan’s a.s.sistant kept on going about this Mr. Jason. It was evident that Mr. Jason was her role model.

“That being said, your research on Spirit Water was not any less revolutionary than that of the Stem Cell. It would change the whole world.” Xue Jiao hurried to add.

Chen Fan smiled lightly and didn’t reply.

Meanwhile, at the Jin City International airport.

Han Dongyu held a nameplate high above his head, waiting for a guest to arrive.

A large group of men in black suits emerged from the exit. Among the group of buffed foreign muscle men was a blond youth in his early thirties. He and his entourage pushed people out of their way as they walked forward.

“Mr. Jason, it’s me.” Han Dongyu came over to him, but he was stopped by one of his bodyguards.

“That’s ok, Mike. He is my cla.s.smate at Stanford.” The blond young man cracked a warm smile and then asked: “Rain, how are you doing? How’s your homeland treating you?”

“Nice to see you, Jason. I work in the Biology department at Jin City University.” Han Dongyu replied.

“Jin City University?” Jason shrugged and said: “It might be a top university in China, but I have never heard of it. Neither do I know any renowned Biologists from that university. Rain, you should have stayed at Columbia or Stanford.”

“Hehe, You might not have heard of it, but I promise you that you will. It’s going to shock the world.” Han Dongyu smiled back awkwardly and then said mysteriously.

“Shock the world?” Jason asked incredulously.

What kind of shocking advancement could a Chinese university make in the field of Biology?

“Indeed. Have you ever heard of the Yun Wu Spirit Water?” Han Dongyu took a deep breath and filled his old friend in with what he knew about the spirit water.

“Did you say the water can revive a wilted Narcissus flower?” Jason furrowed his brows and said: “Rain, you sound confused. There are no such things in this world. Even if it does exist, why would its owner sell it to the public? You know its priceless if it’s real.”

“I have seen it with my own eyes.” Han Dongyu said readily but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes as he heard his friend’s disagreement.

“I think there is more than what meets the eye in the spirit water. Perhaps it was some kind of trick.”

A green light danced in Jason’s eyes as he curled his lips into a smile.

As the opening of The International Biology Conference drew near, more and more renowned scholars across the globe arrived at Jin City University.

The beginning of the conference was announced by the princ.i.p.al of the Jin City University and a n.o.bel prize holder. It was followed by a keynote speech by Chen Fan.

These keynote speeches were reserved only for those who had made groundbreaking achievements in the field. Therefore, only very few people could have the credentials to make the speech.

“Biology department of the Jin City University? I remembered that it is one of the top Biology research inst.i.tutes in China. But I don’t recall any significant research programs there.” A professor from the University of Melbourne murmured to himself.

“Ah, he could be a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Science. They often got seconded to another research inst.i.tute in China.” Another scientist from Switzerland replied with a shrug.

By then, Chen Fan had already made his way to the stage.

“Is he the inventor of the Yun Wu Spirit Water?” Jason tilted his head and looked to Han Dongyu.

“Yes.” Han Dongyu nodded.

“Just watch me, I will expose his lies.” Jason gave Han Dongyu a half-smile. His knowing gaze shocked Han Dongyu. He knew that his friend had already seen through his mask and got a handle on the power dynamic between Chen Fan and other researchers.
