"Brother Qiang, we’ve overcome another challenge, only a few remain now."

At this moment, a man of average height looked at Zhou Qiang, his face full of joy.

His name is Wu Sen, and he has been in the toothpaste industry for a long time, having worked with Zhou Qiang before, and is now the deputy leader of the toothpaste laboratory at Celestial Fortune Medical Research Institute.

"Mm, we’ll break through soon, and then there will be plenty of bonuses," Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

He hadn’t expected that in the laboratory, their inspiration would explode, overcoming obstacles smoothly.

Sometimes, a problem would solve itself naturally.

He had never felt like this before.

This time, he could feel he could develop a toothpaste with truly powerful effects.

"Haha, if there are bonuses, I’ll buy a car for my kid." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"I’ll go to a luxury hotel to eat and drink every day."

"I want to have a foot bath..."

"Haha, Old Lin, is your foot bath legit?"

The people in the lab laughed.

They knew the shampoo laboratory, Li Kahe’s bonus was two million!

Everyone joked and laughed, their eyes full of anticipation, Zhou Qiang also full of anticipation.

...

Leaving the laboratory, Zhou Qiang prepared to go home, but on the way, someone found him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhou Qiang?" the person smiled and asked while looking at Zhou Qiang.

"Who are you? What do you want with me?" Zhou Qiang showed a hint of confusion on his face, asking.

"Haha, our boss wants to discuss a business deal with you," the person said with a smile.

"Business?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang was even more perplexed. He didn’t remember having any business with anyone.

...

"Are you asking me to leave the Celestial Fortune Research Institute?" In a restaurant private room, Zhou Qiang sat across from the man. At this moment, hearing the man’s words, Zhou Qiang’s face changed instantly.

The man in front of him was actually here to poach him.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, we are very interested in your abilities, and we’re specifically inviting you to join our laboratory."

The man smiled and handed over a business card. The name on the card made Zhou Qiang’s heart tremble even more.

Procter & Gamble Company, one of the largest global consumer goods companies, selling products worldwide, is now inviting him to join.

"Mr. Zhou, let’s be straightforward; I know you’re currently working on toothpaste research. Coincidentally, we are working on it too, but we’re missing a leader."

The man smiled: "If the research breakthrough is made, we will give the leader a substantial bonus!"

He held up one finger.

Watching Zhou Qiang’s complexion change, the man smiled and revealed the number: "Ten million."

Upon hearing this number, Zhou Qiang’s pupils slightly shrank.

Truth be told, he loved money, and he initially started making toothpaste for money.

At this moment, Zhou Qiang was obviously struggling.

The experimentation is in its later stages, leaving the lab now would be a betrayal. If the Celestial Fortune Research Institute sues, he would face compensation.

With this precedent, no other experiment would dare to hire him in the future.

However, a bonus of ten million is very tempting; at his age of over forty, he might not earn this much ever again.

Zhou Qiang’s complexion varied, while the man across from him took his time tasting the tea in front of him, giving Zhou Qiang time to consider.

"Tick, tock!" "Tick, tock!"

It was as if the sound of a clock pendulum was in his ear, with time slowly passing by, quickly a minute went by.

Finally, Zhou Qiang said, "If Celestial Fortune sues me..."

Before he finished his sentence, a smile bloomed on the man’s face, "Mr. Zhou doesn’t need to worry about this, as it’ll merely be seen as leaving midway and won’t have much impact."

The research hasn’t yielded results; who knows what the final result will be, or at what stage the research is?

Leaving at this point can be attributed to disagreements or various other reasons, Zhou Qiang wasn’t particularly worried.

The contract he signed with the institute is relatively flexible, just requiring some compensation.

The man across from him maintained a slight smile, continuing, "We’ll resolve any difficulties for you, Mr. Zhou, you just focus on your research. We will provide you with the best team, and all you need to do is produce results before Celestial Fortune Research Institute!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qiang finally nodded and said, "Alright!"

With a bonus of ten million on offer, who wouldn’t be tempted?

Back at the Celestial Fortune laboratory, even if the research succeeds, his bonus would only be two million, a disparity of fivefold!

Seeing Zhou Qiang agree, the man across from him wore a beaming smile, "Mr. Zhou, does your research need assistance from others? We can help bring those you need from Celestial Fortune Institute."

From their gathered data, Zhou Qiang is the team leader, undoubtedly the strongest, with little known about others.

At this, Zhou Qiang shook his head and said, "No need, the entire toothpaste research is under my control! I only need some assistants to follow my orders."

He was highly confident; to him, most of the lab relied on him. With a more professional team, he was confident his research would proceed faster!

Moreover, if he brings others, would the bonus need to be shared?

At this moment, Zhou Qiang found it easy to secure the ten-million-dollar bonus alone!

Since the bonus is attainable here, and Procter & Gamble can resolve all issues, why not leave Celestial Fortune and join Procter & Gamble?

"Great! I admire Mr. Zhou’s confidence."

Seeing Zhou Qiang’s declaration, the man’s face lit up with a bright smile, "In that case, let’s have a successful collaboration! If your research results are ready, we will sell them worldwide, spreading your achievements globally."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang also smiled and said, "Here’s to a happy collaboration."

He envisioned, this is Procter & Gamble Company, a global giant in consumer goods, while Celestial Fortune Research Institute felt too small in comparison. The shampoo market was just beginning to open.

Zhou Qiang looked forward to his designed toothpaste being sold worldwide in a short amount of time.

...

"Zhou Qiang resigned?"

Back at the Celestial Fortune office building, Qin Yun stood up, looking at Qin Xiaotao, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Qin Xiaotao nodded, "According to our investigation, he might have been in contact with people from Procter & Gamble."

"Of course, he’s had contact!"

Qin Yun’s face darkened slightly; previously Zhou Qiang seemed very proactive, even voluntarily working overtime to try and conquer obstacles, but now he suddenly left without a word?

Without encountering any changes, it’s impossible.

And now, there’s a strong possibility Procter & Gamble Company has poached him.

"How are Wu Sen and the others?" Qin Yun asked.

The toothpaste laboratory comprised four people, besides Zhou Qiang, there were Wu Sen, Lin Jieyang, and others.
