Finally, within a month of starting the new energy project, Ji Yuan 'successfully' fell ill! This was not surprising; no one is born a superhero. The entire project team had already seen dozens of people fall sick one after another, with some returning to their posts after a slight recovery. Meanwhile, more people were gritting their teeth and persevering, battling against illness with sheer willpower!
"Special Sanatorium on Second Ring Road of the Capital."
"Take a good rest. The leader has instructed that you are not allowed to work until you have fully recovered," Ling Ziqian said as he saw Ji Yuan about to review documents and quickly reached out to snatch them away.
Ji Yuan shot him a glare. "I'm just exhausted; I'm not paralyzed. Why do I have to lie in bed?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the A4 papers that recorded various official and experimental data, feeling somewhat regretful that he couldn't continue working during this time.
Given the current unstable situation, lying here made him feel very uneasy, as if he were watching his comrades fight day and night while he could only recuperate in a field hospital at the rear.
He knew the country was considering his health, but he still longed to return to his post, to shine and contribute further to the new energy research work.
"Health is the foundation of life," Ling Ziqian replied calmly. "The leader has instructed that if anything happens to your health, I will be questioned!"
Moreover, he added, "What if news of you fainting from overwork reaches the West? Those idle folks would gloat even more and slander our country for exploiting you!"
This was not an exaggeration. Ever since Ji Yuan received the Galactic Badge, top research institutions around the world had sent him invitations with increasingly generous offers.
The the Wang Family of England even promised that if he was willing to change his nationality and join England, they would immediately grant him a dukedom and treat him as part of their nation.
Even America, which had strained relations with the Eastern powers, had repeatedly extended olive branches to Ji Yuan, offering favorable research conditions, environments, and all sorts of conveniences.
Japan, eager to revitalize its Semiconductor Industry, is equally unwilling to remain idle. Power, money, and beauty—if Ji Yuan is willing to join Japan, the Japanese government will immediately fulfill these promises without any hesitation.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are some individuals in these countries who outwardly seek to win him over while secretly plotting to undermine him.
Ji Yuan's deterrent power is indeed formidable. From intelligent robots to Lithography Machines and 7nm-level chips, he is now also leading the new energy research project of an Eastern superpower. As long as they can bring Ji Yuan under their wing and have him serve wholeheartedly, it won't be long before their national strength surges!
After all, the changes in power that Ji Yuan brings to the Eastern superpower are evident for all to see; they are not fabricated out of thin air!
This is a highly profitable deal. Even if Ji Yuan were to embrace their country and produce nothing further, it would significantly curb the expansion speed of the Eastern superpower's strength.
Unfortunately, what they promise is something Ji Yuan currently lacks entirely.
As for power, he is not particularly enthusiastic about it; after all, he is not a politician, and the various privileges he possesses already largely transcend power.
Even though he rarely exercises his privileges, he still holds the authority to do so.
Regarding money? Once a certain level is reached, it truly becomes just a number!
Millionaires live like millionaires, billionaires live like gods. For someone with tens of billions in assets, life takes on a sense of returning to simplicity because they have already witnessed all the world's splendor and have even grown weary of it.
A life filled with indulgence and extravagance only leaves them feeling lost and disoriented; it does not contribute anything beneficial to their careers.
As for beautiful women… a group of unserious old fellows often ponder ways to introduce him to various outstanding beauties, hoping to see if such a union could produce a child as clever as Ji Yuan or even smarter!
Even though the chances were almost zero, those guys still enjoyed it immensely! Just as Ji Yuan was about to take a nap, a guard suddenly came to inform him that a friend had come to visit.
Ji Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized who the guard was referring to and asked him to let the visitor in. After all, even his parents didn't know he was staying at the sanatorium. The only person who could find out about this and manage to come here was none other than Bai Shiqiu.
"Hey, I see that aside from looking a bit pale, you seem to be in good spirits. Was all this fuss really necessary?" Bai Shiqiu handed various high-end nutritional supplements to the guard and then sized up Ji Yuan. "I heard from my grandfather that you fainted; I thought something serious had happened."
Before Ji Yuan could respond, Bai Shiqiu continued, "This place is really hard to get into. It took my grandfather a lot of convincing with the higher-ups just to get a chance to visit you."
Ji Yuan smiled wryly and said, "The leaders are too anxious. It's really not a big deal; I just overworked my brain and fainted for a bit. A little rest is all I need. They insisted I stay at the sanatorium for recovery."
