Chapter 5

Another night has passed!

Since the same chemical materials have different names in the two worlds, Xiao Fan briefly looked through the materials he received yesterday and spent about two hours identifying all the chemicals and herbal ingredients related to the 'Dream Lady' series of cosmetics. After he finished identifying them, it took him less than five minutes to solve Tang Lin's problem.

Then, for the rest of the time, he found a place to pretend to be resting. Tang Lin had people deliver boxed meals a few times, and Xiao Fan ate them all.

In the early morning, Xiao Fan stood up, shook his head, and sighed to himself, "No, the spiritual energy on Earth is too low! I've practiced for two nights, but I've only cultivated a tiny bit of spiritual energy, which is of no help in repairing my physical injuries! I don't know when I will recover my strength!"

"Well, let's take it slowly. There will be a day when I fully recover!" Xiao Fan had no choice but to say helplessly.

"Click!"

At this moment, the laboratory door opened, and Tang Lin, Professor Lin, and several important department managers and all the researchers from the company walked in.

Looking at Xiao Fan, Tang Lin said calmly, "Xiao Fan, how is it? Has your friend given the answer?"

"It's already solved!" Xiao Fan nodded and handed over the paper with his solution.

Tang Lin quickly took it and spread it out on the metal lab table. Then, Professor Lin and the researchers from Tang Lin's company gathered around the table to carefully examine it.

As they looked at the content, the researchers from Tang Lin's company were still frowning and thinking hard, but Professor Lin's expression suddenly changed!

"Yes, yes, yes, all correct!"

"That's right, that's it, that's it!"

"Huh? I've never seen this before?"

Professor Lin's face was suddenly extremely excited, and he kept muttering to himself.

Seeing Professor Lin's excited appearance, Tang Lin's heart suddenly sank. She turned to look at Xiao Fan beside her, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Professor Lin's appearance already said it all!

Xiao Fan's friend had actually solved this medical problem.

"Ha ha ha ha, I see, I see, I understand, I understand!" Suddenly, Professor Lin shouted excitedly, startling Tang Lin and everyone else.

"Little friend, you must tell me the name of your friend!" Professor Lin suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Xiao Fan's hand, and said excitedly, "Do you know that he just filled a gap, no, three gaps in the domestic chemical industry? What's his name? Where does he live? I must find him!"

Seeing the excited Professor Lin, Xiao Fan didn't know what to say. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Lin, my friend just likes to research. He doesn't care about anything else besides research, and his personality is a bit reclusive, so... I'm sorry!"

"Alright!" Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Professor Lin felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, his eyes filled with deep disappointment.

"Professor Lin, is this answer correct?" Tang Lin looked at Xiao Fan and then at Professor Lin, her eyes filled with hope.

"Yes, one hundred percent correct!" Professor Lin said very confidently, "Just produce according to this answer, there won't be any problems!"

"That's great!" Tang Lin finally felt completely relieved and said excitedly.

"Manager Sun, Manager Huang, you two immediately take this answer to the R&D department, have them mix it, and bring the finished product to Professor Lin for inspection, quickly!" Tang Lin ordered.

"Yes, Ms. Tang!" The two department managers immediately took the answer and rushed out.

"Little friend, this is my business card. If there's a chance in the future, you must introduce me to your friend!" Professor Lin took out a gold-embossed business card and handed it to Xiao Fan, then smiled and said.

"Sure!" Xiao Fan took it, glanced at it, and saw a few simple pieces of information: "Lin Zhengtian, 136********, Professor at Yanjing University's Chemistry Department, Member of the Chinese Chemical Society."

"By the way, little friend, do you have a phone number?" Lin Zhengtian took out his phone, intending to record Xiao Fan's number.

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "I lost my phone and haven't had time to get a new number yet. I'll call you later!"

"Alright!" Lin Zhengtian didn't get angry; he just smiled and put his phone away.

"Xiao Fan, thank you for your help this time!" Tang Lin suddenly walked over and said softly to Xiao Fan.

"You don't need to be so polite!" Xiao Fan shook his head.

"If you need anything, just say it. I promise to meet all your demands!" Tang Lin said firmly.

"No need!" Xiao Fan shook his head gently.

"Do you think the money is too little?" Tang Lin paused for a moment and then said, "As long as you can ensure contact with your friend and ask him to solve various problems for us, I can apply to the company to sign a contract with you. In the future, a certain percentage of the sales of the 'Dream Lady' series of cosmetics will be given to you as a dividend, or I can explain the situation to the company and give you a portion of the company's shares, and invite you to become a senior executive of my branch, with an annual salary...!"

"That's not what I mean!" Xiao Fan interrupted Tang Lin, shook his head, and said, "Money, my friend and I don't intend to ask for much. Just give me three thousand yuan more!"

"Three thousand yuan?" Tang Lin was stunned.

"Yes!" Xiao Fan nodded.

Tang Lin didn't say anything. She paused for a moment, then took out her phone and called the finance department, asking them to bring ten thousand yuan in cash immediately.

"Thank you, then I'll take my leave. I'm off!" Xiao Fan didn't hesitate, took the ten thousand yuan, and simply said before walking out.

"Why?" Tang Lin suddenly bit her lip, her expression complex, as she said behind Xiao Fan.

"Yesterday, when you lent me money, I said I would pay you back a hundred times, and now I have!" Xiao Fan didn't turn around and said softly, "There's even some left over, so I'll take the money!"

"Pay me back a hundred times?" Tang Lin was stunned again. She thought Xiao Fan was just being polite, because in this day and age, it was already a blessing if the borrower could pay back on time. Who would dare to say they would pay back a hundred times? Unless they were crazy. But now, Xiao Fan had done it.

"Yes, I've fulfilled my promise now, and I don't owe you anything, so, goodbye!" Xiao Fan walked forward without looking back.

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Tang Lin suddenly felt as if she had lost something forever, and her heart ached inexplicably.

"Ah!" Lin Zhengtian, standing beside her, lightly shook his head and sighed.

Some people, once missed, are missed forever!

And this sentence was most fitting for Xiao Fan and Tang Lin at this moment.
