Yun Hanrui was inwardly shocked; she had not expected Yang Rui's casual remark to doom the company's cooperation with the American Research Institute!

But at the same time, Yun Hanrui became even more cautious, for she could sense that it was Mokara's appearance that had caused Milxi's attitude to undergo a drastic change, to the extent that Milxi did not hesitate to tear up the cooperation with Jiangnan Jiuchong Pharmaceutical!

"Why is that?" Yun Hanrui's heart sank, offering solicitude when none is needed can only mean ill-intent or thievery!

Having just experienced the Lin Zhijie incident, Yun Hanrui's vigilance was still very high!

Yang Rui was escorted away by the people around him, and Milxi turned to her with a smile: "Miss Yun, I'm sorry for the disturbance caused by those lowlifes!"

Yun Hanrui shook her head gently: "It's okay, I don't bother with such people."

"Miss Yun indeed has a generous heart!" Milxi praised: "Our National Institutes of Health would be honored to work with Chaoyang Group, and I believe we will have an excellent start!"

Mokara frowned: "Miss Yun, have you already agreed to collaborate with the National Institutes of Health?"

Before Yun Hanrui could answer, Milxi laughed: "Mr. Mokara, we have already discussed it last week and confirmed our intent to cooperate."

Mokara paid no attention to Milxi, and looked at Yun Hanrui as he spoke evenly: "Miss Yun, I hope you can give up the collaboration with the National Institutes of Health..."

"Mr. Mokara, that's not quite appropriate!" Milxi interrupted him: "Miss Yun is our important partner, even your Micro Dust Research Institute can't be this domineering, right?"

Yun Hanrui had many mysteries in her heart, but she knew one thing: both parties wanted to cooperate with Chaoyang Group. As for what purposes they harbored, Yun Hanrui felt it was better to wait and see how things unfolded.

But the people around her were shocked beyond belief. Not long ago, Chaoyang Group had suffered a massive loss from a data leak incident, estimated at over tens of billions. Everyone thought Chaoyang Group must have been severely damaged, yet unexpectedly, both the National Institutes of Health and the Micro Dust Research Institute were vying to partner with Chaoyang Group!

Although they were not sure who the latter was, anyone who dared to stand up against the National Institutes of Health must be formidable.

"What's going on here?" Secretary Lin, watching the commotion from a distance, couldn't help asking: "Wasn't Chaoyang Group significantly weakened? How could they arouse the interest of two major organizations? Was the previous leak incident merely a smokescreen released by Chaoyang Group?"

Suddenly, Secretary Lin felt that his earlier decision to treat Chaoyang Group coldly was not wise!

"I appreciate the esteem from both of you," Yun Hanrui said lightly: "But I don't see what about Chaoyang Group is so worth your eager contention."

Milxi replied cheerfully: "Miss Yun is being modest. Huaxia's Chaoyang Group is a notable entity worldwide. Coming to Huaxia to seek cooperation, Chaoyang Group naturally is my first choice."

Mokara spoke neutrally: "Miss Yun, the purpose of my visit to Huaxia is also to collaborate with Chaoyang Group, but I regret to say that I had not heard of Chaoyang Group's name before. My reason for coming here is at the request of someone else!"

Milxi's expression subtly changed; he keenly picked up that Mokara had spoken of a request, not an invitation or plea. This indicated that the person's status was far above Mokara's!

"Because of one person's request?" Yun Hanrui asked curiously, "Can you tell me who that person is?"

Mokara's face showed a hint of hesitation as he apologized, "I'm very sorry, but that gentleman did not give me permission to tell you. I won't tell you for now!"

Yun Hanrui's brow furrowed slightly, unsure why the smiling face of Ling Feng came to her mind.

"Then can you tell me when he notified you?" Yun Hanrui asked again.

"Ten days ago!"

Ten days ago was exactly when the Lin Zhijie incident had erupted, and Yun Hanrui had her suspicions confirmed, looking at it as Mokara referred to this person, there was a nine out of ten chance it was Ling Feng.

"Miss Yun, please trust our Micro Dust Research Institute!" Mokara said confidently, "Our institute can engage in comprehensive cooperation with Chaoyang Group, share scientific research achievements, and we will also send twenty experts to enhance the strength of your research team. These are things that Milxi cannot provide for you!"

Milxi was getting restless, "Mr. Mokara, you are so blatantly trying to take away our partner. Is this a provocation to our National Institutes of Health?"

Milxi's words made the atmosphere turn chilly around them. As one of the world's top research institutes, Milxi had enough confidence to say these words!

"Provocation?" Mokara replied coldly, "That word would carry some weight if your director said it to me. As for you? Do you think you can decide the will of your institute? If you can make a decision, then shall we go to war and try?"

The sweat on Milxi's forehead began to drip down. He hadn't expected Mokara to be so resolute!

"Mr. Mokara is kidding!" Milxi forced an ugly smile and said, "I think the choice should still be left to Miss Yun. Although we both regard the strength of Chaoyang Group highly, we can't force Miss Yun's will, can we?"

After thinking for a moment, Mokara said, "That's fine. I have the utmost respect for Miss Yun. Miss Yun may not have heard the name of our institute, but you only need to know that all the partners of our institute are powerful countries. You will be the only private entity we collaborate with!"

Yun Hanrui gasped. The idea that a research institute's partners were nations was astonishing; without saying more, she naturally understood what a terrifying thing this was.

"In that case, I choose to cooperate with you!" Yun Hanrui looked at Mokara and said, "I'm not craving your scientific research strength, but rather, I'm acting out of trust for that person!"

Mokara revealed a warm smile, "Miss Yun, you've made a wise choice! Of course, your decision has also saved me. If that person knew I hadn't persuaded you, he would certainly not let me off the hook!"

"Is he that formidable?" Yun Hanrui inquired.

Mokara nodded solemnly, "Yes, he is formidable, and he is also the man I, Mokara, respect the most in my lifetime! Miss Yun, we shouldn't delay. Let's discuss the specific details of our cooperation now!"

Yun Hanrui offered an excuse to Milxi, then departed with Mokara and the others!

With a bang! After their figures disappeared, Milxi smashed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the ground, his round face twisted with an unresolved malice, "Micro Dust Research Institute, I won't give up so easily!"
