A month later, at the Provincial Library, it was almost autumn, but the weather in the south was still extremely hot. In fact, the heat of the Autumn Tiger was even more intense than before, so there were quite a few people at the library enjoying the air conditioning, with every seat occupied.
After Bai Yujing returned, he was basically overwhelmed with tasks. Editor Xu Keke searched for him everywhere, and once she found him, there were various promotional activities and copyright sales to handle. Due to the success of the movie and the linked sales of books, other peripheral copyrights followed suit. It was a time for making money, yet the main character, Bai Yujing, was absent, which put a lot of pressure on editor Xu Keke.
Under Xu Keke's repeated urging, Bai Yujing finally completed the tasks assigned to him. Besides this, there were also numerous matters from Wang Yi that required Bai Yujing's attention. The company's expansion and various other issues needed his involvement and signature approval.
Additionally, there were some matters from the law firm that kept Bai Yujing busy to the point of headache. After finally wrapping up his work, he accompanied Emma and Bethany back to England. Although interest in England had diminished significantly and relations with McLeod Medical Group had eased—no longer as dire as before—Burton MacLeod had now regained his youthful appearance and looked like a man in his twenties. He even managed to meet with Bai Yujing.
It must be said that the effectiveness of Hyperactive Cell Serum exceeded expectations. When Bai Yujing first saw Burton, he looked like he was on his last legs; now, upon seeing him again, he was unrecognizable—radiating vitality and brimming with confidence. With control over Hyperactive Cell Serum, he essentially held the key to the next era. Although his stability was supported by several countries in Europe, McLeod Medical Group was undoubtedly regarded as a giant company now, and Burton's status had risen accordingly.
Burton's meeting with Bai Yujing was primarily to discuss potential collaboration on space technology and Gene Editing Technology between China and England. Given Bai Yujing's familiarity with both areas—especially space technology and new energy technology—he knew nearly all the technical personnel involved. This was crucial for Burton; previous grievances paled in comparison to mutual benefits.
"You really overestimate me; this is a national-level matter. My influence isn't that significant! If you can stabilize your position by mastering gene programming technology and Hyperactive Cell Serum, that's already impressive enough. To covet space technology as well? That's too much!" Bai Yujing did not expect Burton MacLeod to approach him about this.
Burton MacLeod smiled: "The future belongs to space; any company that wants to become a giant must connect with space technology. Currently, China is leading in both space technology and new energy technology. Of course, I don't want to delve too deeply into this; cooperation between our two countries involves not only technical exchanges but also project implementation and construction—which is something we capitalists need to handle ourselves. This isn't something one person can manage alone. I just want to gain a slight advantage; for that, I'm willing to pay a price. I only need you to introduce me to some people; I heard that this time the team leader is...!"
Bai Yujing thought for a moment; this wasn't an issue since there was great demand domestically for gene programming technology and Hyperactive Cell Serum. He would merely act as a bridge; whether or not they could negotiate successfully was up to them.
"I just came out for a vacation and didn't expect to be caught up in so many troublesome matters!" Bai Yujing shrugged in agreement.
Burton MacLeod stood up: "Thank you! Although our last collaboration wasn't very pleasant, I believe this time will be enjoyable. If you need anything in the future, don't hesitate to let me know!"
Bai Yujing didn't expect any help from him; however, having one less enemy was certainly better than having one more. After spending a few days in England, he finally met Emma's father and mother. Originally intending to see if he could send Bethany home, he found Emma's father and stepmother busy enjoying life and traveling around the world, relishing their second spring. Moreover, since Bethany loved China very much, she continued living in China with Bai Yujing and Emma.
In the remaining time, the three of them traveled around Europe before returning to their home country. As a result, a whole month had passed, although for Bai Yujing, this kind of free time was abundant.
Bai Yujing was searching for information in the Provincial Library. Much of the online information was superficial and incomplete, and it was difficult to find full texts of many experts' and historians' works. Searching for reliable sources was quite troublesome; in comparison, the collection and records in the library were relatively more comprehensive.
Bai Yujing was looking for materials and texts related to ancient myths, particularly focusing on Jianmu, Mountain Spirit, and various tribes from ancient times. However, due to the great distance in time, there was hardly any credible information or news available. Most of what he found were speculations and rumors, yielding little substantial or reliable information.
Bai Yujing pushed aside a large pile of books in front of him and sighed in frustration within the library. He realized he was somewhat courting disaster; he clearly understood that the secrets hidden here were unimaginably vast and fraught with danger, yet he couldn't help but feel compelled to explore.
“Lalalala! Lalalala!”
Bai Yujing quickly silenced his phone when Bethany's song rang out. This ringtone had been set by Emma, but every time it went off, he felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment. “Hello, Li Hao, what do you want?”
Li Hao immediately replied, “Old Bai, how's it going? Is it a good time to talk?”
Bai Yujing paused at this and stood up to look around. “I'm in the library right now; it's not a good time to take a call. I'll call you back later!”
He then hung up the phone, pulled out a chair, and went to the restroom where he used another phone to call back. “Li Hao, what's going on? Did something happen?”
Li Hao nodded. “Someone just came looking for me, asking about what happened when I was in Shennongjia. They were official personnel who looked very upright, but they gave off a creepy vibe—not exactly good people.”
Bai Yujing nodded. “Did you tell them everything?”
Li Hao quickly replied, “I told them everything; there’s nothing I need to hide. I suspect they’ve also talked to Zhong Qiang and A Ling. What about you? Did they not contact you?”
Bai Yujing shook his head and said, "No, I just got back a while ago, and there are many things I haven't finished dealing with. I've been extremely busy. I finally had a break these past few days, and I've been spending all my time in the library, feeling like no one is watching me!"
Li Hao replied curiously, "Logically speaking, among us, you're the most eye-catching. With your resume laid out, no country could overlook you. I heard that when you traveled abroad recently, intelligence agencies in other countries were monitoring you twenty-four hours a day, afraid you might take away their treasures!"
Bai Yujing's face turned awkward. "Can we not talk about this? Alright, I understand the situation now. I'll ask someone to find out what's really going on."
