After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Shen Yao turned to look at her two colleagues behind her in disbelief.

The two colleagues also looked bewildered. They opened the draft cooperation document and found that Mr. Gu was indeed listed on it.

"Professor Shen, Mr. Gu is the client who invited us to discuss the new project today."

Hearing her colleague say that, Shen Yao knew that this had to be handled officially.

She gave the man in front of her a perfunctory business smile, "Hello, Mr. Gu."

Gu Tianyou extended his hand to her. "Hello, Professor Shen, I think we can get to know each other again."

Shen Yao looked at the man's outstretched hand, narrowed her eyes slightly, but did not grasp it.

She raised her head, her cool eyes fixed on the man's eyes, and turned her body slightly to the side. "Mr. Gu, please go first."

Gu Tianyou's hand, which had been suspended in the air, paused for a moment before finally falling down and putting it back into his pocket.

Chen Jie, carrying a briefcase and holding documents, rushed in at that moment.

He had just learned that his boss was going to discuss business with Professor Shen from Deep Space Technology.

This excited him.

Upon seeing Shen Yao, Chen Jie adopted a very professional business attitude, extending his right hand to greet her warmly.

"Professor Shen, it is a great honor to cooperate with your company."

"Assistant Chen, please come in." Shen Yao gently took Chen Jie's hand and smiled.

Upon hearing Chen Jie's voice, Gu Tianyou habitually turned his head and saw Shen Yao holding Chen Jie's hand.

Although the woman only lightly grasped Chen Jie's fingertips, Gu Tianyou's anger surged like a tidal wave.

Lowering his voice and speaking in an icy tone, Gu Tianyou said to Chen Jie impatiently, "Hurry up and come in, the meeting is about to start!"

"Yes, Mr. Gu!" Chen Jie sensed Gu Tianyou's anger. He didn't dare to delay and quickly walked over, carefully placing the documents on Gu Tianyou's desk.

Gu Tianyou sat down with a dark expression. As his assistant, Chen Jie was about to pull out a chair and sit next to him, but Gu Tianyou stopped him.

"You can stand here; it will make it easier for you to concentrate on taking notes."

Business meetings often involve a lot of details and bargaining, and the negotiations can't be concluded in just a few minutes.

Chen Jie couldn't understand what he had done to offend his boss, so he could only stand there and accept his bad luck.

The meeting officially began. Deep Space Technology's marketing manager was the main negotiator, while Shen Yao was only assisting.

As someone working in the research department, Shen Yao isn't good at bargaining, but she can provide valuable insights into professional areas of medicine such as pharmaceutical production, pharmaceutical qualification review, and acceptance of pharmaceutical equipment and facilities.

The Gu Group has shown great sincerity by planning to invest 10 billion yuan to support Deep Space Technology Co., Ltd. in developing new anti-cancer drugs.

However, the premise of the negotiations was that Shen Yao had to participate in the project.

This is the main reason why the company insisted on having Shen Yao attend this negotiation meeting.

When the two sides had almost finished talking, the marketing manager and Gu Tianyou raised their demands regarding the final division of profits.

"You invest the money, we handle the work. As a pharmaceutical technology company, we have only one condition: we must have absolute control over scientific research. We hope that you, our client, will not interfere too much with our project development."

“That won’t do. Since the Gu family has invested so much money in you, we have the right to participate in scientific research and development, and even in some aspects of the process.” Gu Tianyou also made his own demands.
