Chapter 402 You, young man, have quite a dirty mouth!
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present was shocked.
Most of them harbored the hope that Song Yun, as a big boss, would need to rely on these research staff.
Thus, in the following period, many people began to use the institute's equipment and materials to complete their own projects, and if this expense were to be investigated, many would be in deep trouble!
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Those whose names are called, please hand over your responsibilities to HR and leave. A specialized lawyer will contact you about the following matters."
After Song Yun finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Professor Lu! You must help us!"
"Yes, using the equipment for our own projects is an unspoken rule in our circle. Besides, we've been working diligently on the project every day. If you hold us responsible, who would dare to join Grey Deer Research Institute in the future!"
"Professor Lu, we come from the same academic roots. You spared no effort in telling me how good the big boss is and how great the benefits are. I gave up a lot to come to your side! Now that I'm being let go, you have to compensate me!"
"Right! You must compensate us! Otherwise, I'll complain to the association about your institute's behavior and get other professors to boycott you together!"
The surrounding voices were incessant, buzzing in Professor Lu's ears.
"Quiet!"
Professor Lu shouted angrily, "This is the big boss's decision, what can I, a mere employee, change! Isn't this all a result of your own doing? If you really were as dedicated as you claim, why would President Song still fire you? Could it be just to give you severance pay???"
"Who knows, maybe Song Yun just wants to sweep us all out and play his games, causing our previous projects to be halted."
"That's right! What you're saying makes sense. If that's really the case, Song Yun's intentions are condemnable!"
"Before coming here, we all had seven or eight ongoing projects in hand. To push the project progress here, we had to reduce them to two or three. Isn't that a loss!?"
Initially, these people were fighting over the high bonuses and benefits of the Grey Deer Research Institute, and now being exposed, they were all angrily shamed.
"You all! What am I to do with you!"
Professor Lu said with a resentful sigh, "Is money really that important to you! Don't your projects have specific funding? You had to covet the institute's resources, and now look, not only do you have to leave, but you'll also be held accountable. If I were as disgraceful as you, I would have already taken a piece of hemp rope and hanged myself!"
"You!!!"
"Wow, so our Professor Lu is the first lapdog of capital. I was wondering why Song Yun didn't touch your piece of the cake, turns out you've been licking boots all along!"
"Heh, today I've really seen Professor Lu's true scholar's character."
"You!!!"
Their words were extremely unpleasant, and Professor Lu, pointing at them, struggled to catch his breath and finally collapsed to the ground, breathless!
"I didn't touch him, dammit, now he's playing the blame game. I admit defeat, I'm out of here!"
"Professor Lu, I didn't expect that besides your inadequate academic skills, your character is also so poor, sigh!"
The crowd that had gathered, fearing trouble, quickly left after dropping those harsh words.
"Professor Lu? Professor Lu!"
"Quick, call the emergency center!"
"Go notify President Song immediately, say that Professor Lu has collapsed!"
When Song Yun received the news, he rushed to the conference room immediately. Seeing Professor Lu lying rigid on the ground, he furrowed his brows and pressed on the man's wrist.
The pulse showed that Professor Lu had a blockage of air in his chest that couldn't be released, and if it continued, it could possibly harm his internal organs! Experience tales at empire
"Find me a set of silver needles!"
Song Yun shouted to a researcher.
"Ah? Oh!"
The researcher hesitated for a second and then quickly agreed. There were plenty of miscellaneous things in the institute, and within three minutes, the researcher came running back with a box of silver needles in hand.
As Song Yun held down Professor Lu's wrist, he infused True Qi to protect his heart meridian while inserting a silver needle into the other's chest.
To the onlookers, Song Yun's technique appeared extremely simple, involving only a push, a twist, and a pull, which was nothing like the traditional Chinese medicine they had in mind!
"Ugh!"
Just as everyone was hesitating whether to persuade Song Yun to wait calmly for the ambulance, Professor Lu's throat emitted a series of retching sounds.
"Ack!"
Following that, Professor Lu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and slowly opened his eyes.
"What... what happened to me?"
He sat up, his eyes full of confusion.
"Professor Lu, you're awake!"
"Holy shit! Boss Song even knows Chinese medicine, that's badass!"
Everyone was babbling at once, recounting the recent events to Professor Lu. Although he was still feeling dizzy, the main point was clear to him: Song Yun had saved him!
"Boss Song, I'm really sorry to have troubled you..."
"Don't mention it. When the ambulance arrives, go with them for a full body check-up. Also, take a week off to rest at home. If I find out you've set foot in the institute, be prepared to be fired."
Though Song Yun seemed nonchalant when practicing medicine, he knew the risks involved better than anyone.
"Oh, okay..."
Professor Lu was taken away by the ambulance, and Song Yun, seeing the research staff without a leader, could only sigh and seek help from his father.
"Ring, ring, ring."
As Song Yun's phone rang, he saw it was his mother calling and promptly answered.
"Hello, Mom. What's up?"
"Song Yun, you need to come back right away. Wen Shu has received a strange phone call!"
Bai Qiu's voice was urgent, and coupled with Wen Shu's special status, it gave Song Yun a premonition of an impending storm.
After agreeing, he gave Song Bu a heads-up, left the car for his father to drive home, and took a taxi back himself.
"Hey, hey, hey, make way in front there!"
Song Yun was waiting for a taxi at the school gate when an electric bike came shooting through the wrong way. If not for his quick reflexes, the biker would have collided right into his waist!
Even so, in dodging, his phone fell to the ground and was crushed under the wheels of a passing car.
"Damn, talk about bad luck!"
Song Yun, feeling anxious, shouted at the woman riding the bike: "Don't you know any traffic rules at all? You're going the wrong way! Bumping into someone is a minor issue, but if you get hit by a car, you'll be the one crying!"
"How dare you talk like that, young man! I didn't even hit you! You seem to be a college student, but your mouth is filthy!"
The woman argued back, displeased.
"But my phone is smashed!"
"Don't try to scam me! I didn't hit you or crush your phone. If you're trying to make me pay, it's not happening!"
The woman looked at Song Yun warily. Without waiting for him to speak, she twisted the throttle and sped off on her electric bike.
Under normal circumstances, Song Yun was quite willing to confront such shamelessness to the end, but he had more pressing matters to attend to now.
