“Doctor Gu, your pharmaceutical research is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, and even to the entire human race. However, medical researchers are still separated by country. Therefore, I think it’s still necessary for our Yue family to arrange for people to watch and cooperate with you and provide you with help at critical moments. Don’t you think so?”
When she finished, she picked up her teacup and took her time savoring it.
How could Gu Jingyuan not understand the meaning behind her words?
She did not want the Gu family’s pharmaceutical company to monopolize the industry, so she tried her best to plant people from the Yue family.
The so-called help was actually a form of surveillance.
As a result, she would gradually obtain more things from the company. Gradually, the Yue family would take up more of the shares and it would become the Yue family’s property.
Things like this were not without precedent.
Gu Jingyuan had heard of many similar incidents before.
Now it landed on his head. It was sudden, but not particularly unexpected.
Gu Jingyuan did not answer, and Old Madam Yue did not say anything either. She held the teacup and kept tasting it, as if there was endless tea in that cup.
It was a psychological suppression.
In the S Nation, the Yue family had absolute privileges. Especially Old Madam Yue.
If Gu Jingyuan did not agree, his pharmaceutical company in Country S would be forced to move overseas.
However, that was the last thing he wanted.
He wanted to serve his own country first.
After a long time, Old Madam Yue stopped drinking her tea and said, “It’s fine if you need more time to think about it. Go back first.”
Gu Jingyuan stood up. “Then I’ll go back first.”
Clenching his fists beside his pants, Gu Jingyuan turned around and left.
When his figure disappeared, Yue Xiu walked out and said, “Grandma, do you think Gu Jingyuan will agree?”
“He has to agree even if he doesn’t want to. Can an arm twist over a thigh?” Old Madam Yue said indifferently.
“Grandma, you’re the best!”
If the marriage did not work, other methods would not stop Old Madam Yue from gradually taking control of Gu Jingyuan’s pharmaceutical company.
She was not afraid that Gu Jingyuan would turn hostile and leave for overseas. As long as she gradually controlled his pharmaceutical company, she would not have to worry about not being able to attract and nurture other talents.
After Gu Jingyuan walked out, he frowned deeply, pulled off his tie, got into the car, and leaned back in his chair.

Meanwhile, Yue Yu was getting ready.
As far as Old Madam Yue was concerned, the medical problem was a vital one.
Therefore, it was especially important to be able to obtain the world’s advanced medical resources.
It was probably because she was getting old and her body often had various conditions that she valued the resources in this area more and more.
“Grandma, when I accompany Charles back to Germany this time, I will meet an important medical research expert. He is famous in Europe and is more capable than Gu Jingyuan. His students have top-notch potential. If I can work with him, I believe it will be better,” Yue Yu said softly.
Old Madam Yue nodded. “That’s right. The boyfriend you found this time is really good. If there’s any further cooperation, Grandma will support you.”
She finished and glanced at Yue Xiu.
Yue Xiu hung her head. She had been outmaneuvered by Yue Yu, and it was not what she had expected.
She could not help but feel a little resentful towards Gu Jingyuan.
Yue Yu smiled and said, “Then I’ll go to Germany with Charles later. We’ll definitely bring you back better medicine than those essential oils then, too.”
