Chapter 146: Business Trip to Kyoto, Meeting with Pan Hong's Team's Former Investor.
Professor Pan contacted He Fan early the next morning.
Unlike Zhuang Yu, he led his group of students to form a small team that has been researching ALS for more than a decade.
Over the past ten years or so, they initially relied on themselves to survive, but later companies gradually started investing in them.
The biggest donor to them now is the co-founder of the Red Dog shopping platform, who was diagnosed with ALS in recent years and has been seeking a lifeline.
Unfortunately, the drugs developed by Professor Pan and his team could only slow down the rate of muscle degeneration; they could not cure it at all.
If he is planning to leave, he will need to give an explanation to the current investors of his team. He cannot enter the Kyushu Research Institute without any scruples like Zhuang Yu did.
“Miss Fan, I would like to join your team with my team, but could you give me a few days? I need to explain the situation to our original investors.”
He Fan wasn't in a hurry: "Sure, just let me know if you need any help."
Hearing He Fan say this, Pan Hong and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if you have this drug in your hands, the results of researching it on anyone should be pretty much the same; the only difference is the time it takes.
Although he had enough confidence in his team's professionalism, there were always people more capable than them, and they were also afraid that He Fan would give the opportunity to someone else.
Pan Hong's expression relaxed considerably: "It's alright. The main reason we're going back this time is to discuss the follow-up matters with our current investors, and we also need to find a place for those equipment and venues."
"He is also an ALS patient, and he is waiting for our research results to save his life."
He Fan became interested after hearing this. An investor? And a patient with ALS?
"Oh? Who are your investors?"
Pan Hong didn't hide anything, after all, He Fan would be his employer in the future, and besides, this news wasn't exactly a secret.
"Cao Lei, the founder of the Red Dog platform."
He Fan's eyes darted around: "Tsk, what a pity. Should I talk to him directly about this?"
"If there is a penalty for breach of contract, Kyushu Research Institute will pay it for you directly."
Pan Hong and his group were deeply moved upon hearing this.
They were the ones who took the initiative to participate in the research, and Miss Fan even found ways to solve their worries.
"Oh dear, what should we do?"
He Fan waved his hand: "It's alright, you just need to focus on your research. Once you're in the Kyushu Research Institute, you don't need to worry about anything except the drugs you're researching."
Pan Hong and his group looked at each other in bewilderment. This... Miss Fan is such a kind person.
He Fan pressed further, "When did you arrange to meet with your investor?"
A female researcher in her thirties behind Pan Hong said.
"We booked an afternoon flight, have dinner at 7 pm tonight, and meet Cao Lei in Kyoto."
The schedule is quite tight; it seems this group is really anxious to study the special medicine in He Fan's possession.
"Okay, then I'll go with you tonight."
The female researcher asked, "Should we buy Miss Fan a plane ticket?"
He Fan shook his head: "No need, I'll have my assistant arrange it."
After saying that, He Fan sent Wu You a message: "Two plane tickets to Kyoto this afternoon. I need to go home and pack my things."
Having worked as He Fan's assistant for so long, Wu You and He Fan had a very good working relationship.
At this moment, Wu You was strolling around the various companies downstairs. After all, he was the assistant to the chairman, and he would inspect the companies every day to see if there were any problems.
People would also report the problems they encountered to Wu You, and Wu You would pick out the more difficult ones and report them to He Fan.
Upon seeing the message, she automatically translated in her mind: "I need to buy two first-class tickets to Kyoto with Sister Fan this afternoon. I can't be too rushed. I need to factor in the trip home and the journey to the airport... So, buying tickets around 2 PM should be about right."
Wu You, with her hands behind her back, was in a very good mood: "Hehe, today's patrol mission is complete. Time to go upstairs to pick up Sister Fan and go home!"
No sooner had they seen off Professor Pan and his group than Zhuang Yu arrived.
When He Fan saw Zhuang Yu again, he found him much more agreeable.
I always felt that this person was a bit pretentious and a bit dull; to put it bluntly, he was just not quite normal.
After binding, especially after getting 60 loyalty points for free.
He Fan felt that Professor Zhuang was handsome and mature, not only an elite in the medical field, but also a good man with a simple private life.
"Professor Zhuang, what's wrong?"
Zhuang Yu led her students into the office.
"Miss Fan, I sent you an email last night, but I haven't received a reply. Did you see my email?"
He Fan: "......"
Okay, I forgot to reply to the email after reading it yesterday.
"I've seen it."
Zhuang Yu felt relieved: "Then I will go back to Kyoto today, take care of things, and report to the Kyushu Research Institute in a couple of days."
He Fan waved his hand: "No rush, I'm going to Kyoto this afternoon too. Wait for my news after I get there."
After saying that, He Fan took out his QR code: "Add me on WeChat, and I'll contact you anytime."
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhuang Yu took out her phone and scanned the QR code.
"Alright, Miss Fan, I'll wait for your news."
......
He Fan and Wu You landed in Kyoto.
Liu Qingqing drove the new nanny van that Kyushu Entertainment had provided for Lu Chuan to pick him up.
He Fan only had a small crossbody bag that couldn't even fit a cell phone.
Wu You only had the smallest size suitcase.
It seems they don't plan to stay long.
"Sister Fan, shall I take you to the hotel we stayed at last time?"
He Fan took out his phone and looked at the location sent by Pan Hong: "Let's go to Baoli Hotel, there's a dinner party there tonight."
Liu Qingqing agreed: "Okay."
He Fan looked at Liu Qingqing and said, "Manager Liu, you could get a driver for Xiao Lu, so you can have some free time."
Hearing He Fan's concern, Liu Qingqing felt relieved.
"Yes, don't worry, Sister Fan. I had a driver with me. I was worried he wouldn't recognize you and Xiaoyou, so I came in person."
He Fan nodded and didn't say anything more.
The car slowly drove into the Bulgari Hotel.
Wu You booked a suite, and after saying goodbye to Liu Qingqing, the two went upstairs to rest.
It's only five o'clock now, and there are still two hours until the dinner party.
Pan Hong and the others should have landed by now.
They rushed to their former research institute to pack up their belongings and materials.
I don't know how the talks went tonight, but it's always good to get things ready first.
Anyway, they were determined to go to He Fan's place.
They'll accept paying a penalty for breach of contract later.
