Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 508 - 464: Crouching Dragon, Hidden Phoenix (Bonus Update 24/31)
Looking at the small blue pill in his hand, Li Huiqun felt utterly puzzled.
"Come on, boss, what’s this supposed to mean? Geez, you’re really rubbing it in! I don’t even have a girlfriend, so what’s the use of giving me this thing?"
Lin Yi, who was in the bathroom, almost burst out laughing at Li Huiqun’s words outside.
You gotta give it to this guy for knowing how to assume things.
He actually mistook the blue pill for that other thing.
Just then, Li Huiqun, sounding even more puzzled, spoke from outside the door.
"Hey? Boss, something’s not right here. I thought I saw you taking this just now. Does it work as an alcohol antidote or something?"
At this moment, Lin Yi also came out, washed his hands, and gave him an exasperated look:
"What the heck’s going on in that brain of yours all day? Looks like you really need to find yourself a girlfriend soon.
Look at me, your big brother here, born in the same year as you, and I’m already a dad, while you’re still just a single dog."
He paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the small blue pill in Li Huiqun’s hand, speaking even more irritably:
"It’s nothing like that. Your brain’s full of rubbish. This is something we at Nuclear Medicine accidentally developed during an experiment.
It’s got absolutely nothing to do with that drug you’re thinking of. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
It’s a medication that can rapidly break down alcohol.
Simply put, no matter the concentration of alcohol, once combined with it, it’ll quickly convert the alcohol molecules into water.
In other words, pop it into your stomach, and any alcohol you drink will just turn into water."
Hearing this, Li Huiqun suddenly got excited, his face full of disbelief:
"Damn, such a drug really exists! The folks at Nuclear Medicine are incredible!"
You couldn’t blame Li Huiqun for being surprised. Even though he was the vice president of the Nuclear Group, he wasn’t in charge of everything at Nuclear Medicine.
In other words, anything going on at Nuclear Medicine, apart from Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan, was fully managed by Lin Jianguo.
As for their research outcomes, they weren’t reported to Li Huiqun.
Why was it arranged this way, you ask?
It wasn’t because Lin Yi didn’t trust him, but because this guy already had a lot on his plate.
Just dealing with the matters at Core Technology and Nuclear Car was enough to keep him busy, not to mention the newly opened Zao Fei Technology, which kept him even busier.
That’s why the responsibilities at Nuclear Medicine were entrusted entirely to Lin Jianguo.
Seeing him so excited, Lin Yi smiled and shook his head.
Then Li Huiqun, with a touch of complaint, spoke:
"Boss, seriously, how come you didn’t bring this good stuff out earlier?
You should’ve seen how much Lao Chen was targeting me at the start.
If you had brought this out earlier, I would’ve had that guy knocked out in no time.
No way, when you weren’t here earlier, everyone at the table was trying to toast me with alcohol; this time, I’m going to out-drink all of them. Good grief, do they really think I can’t hold my booze?"
Though Li Huiqun bragged about his drinking prowess, Lin Yi knew all too well that while his capacity was slightly better than his, it was still limited.
He wouldn’t get drunk after two bottles of beer, but it’s definitely not over five or six.
Honestly speaking, among his childhood buddies, the best drinker was Li Wentao.
Only that guy could still be lively after a half kilo of liquor.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi looked at Li Huiqun and casually asked:
"Hey? Has Wentao been in touch with you? How’s he doing these days?"
The two of them continued walking back, chatting as they went.
However, upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Huiqun let out a helpless, wry smile:
"Sigh, at the beginning, we still kept in touch, heard he got a girlfriend.
But ever since our Nuclear Group grew bigger, we slowly lost contact.
It’s partly because I’m so busy, and also he probably feels there’s a gap because we’re doing so well now.
You know his personality, boss. He’s always been introverted and stubborn.
Has all kinds of thoughts but never shows them outwardly."
Nodding in agreement at Li Huiqun’s words, Lin Yi recalled how that guy never voiced his thoughts.
But back in the day, during fights, he was always at the forefront.
And since childhood, the three of them were always the tightest.
Only, his academic performance wasn’t great, unlike Li Huiqun who, even without help, could get into a university in the Capital City.
But that guy just barely squeezed into a college.
This really proves that saying right—"promised we’d be underachievers together, but you all moved ahead quietly..."
Ever since university, Lin Yi felt overwhelmed with one thing after another, unable to find time for those old friends.
He could now imagine that with his world drastically changed, that guy probably didn’t dare reach out.
Thinking this, Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head helplessly:
"Ah, never mind. In a few days, it’s New Year’s; when the time comes, we’ll bring that kid out for drinks. I’ve been thinking; that kid’s got potential, I could rope him in to share some of your load.
Heh heh, you two together, it’s like ’Sleeping Dragon, Young Phoenix’ all over again, huh!"
Though joking, Lin Yi meant it. Despite his buddy’s unimpressive school record and wooden exterior, his mind was intricate, just lacking expression.
Give him a Brain Supplement Pill and a branch company to manage wouldn’t pose a problem.
Moreover, he was definitely a doer, often getting the job done silently.
In temperament, he was entirely opposite to Li Huiqun.
Put the two together to balance each other—a stern face and a kind face —and they could better handle company matters.
With these thoughts, they returned to the hall.
Upon entering, Li Huiqun wasted no time tossing the blue pill into his mouth.
With a mischievous grin, he greeted and walked over to the same table as before...
