Chapter 311 Sky-High Prices

Ding Ning took a careful look at the lab to find that it was made of two apartments, each with three rooms and one hall. One apartment was used as a lab, and the other was used for daily resting and living. It was very friendly.

In the kitchen, there was gas, a stove, a chopping board, chopsticks, and so on. In the large fridge, food ingredients were prepared. In his bedroom, all the necessary appliances were equipped, including sofas, a desk, a computer, a TV set, a desk lamp, and a water dispenser. In the bathroom, disinfection facilities and toiletries were all prepared. Speaking of shampoo, there were several brands for him to choose from.

In the lab, a full range of equipment and instruments was placed according to their kind, and all the herbs he asked for were placed on the counter. So, he was extremely satisfied. “Nothing lacking, thank you, Principal Lu.”

“That’s great. If you find anything lacking, just tell me. This time I only work to make sure everything you need prepared. This is my phone number. If you need anything, just call me. I guarantee I will come whenever you call me.”

Principal Lu seemed in a good mood, but he usually kept a straight face. Now, he was unexpectedly hospitable. So, Ding Ning felt quite shocked.

What he didn’t know was that the medical college of Ninghai University had been designated as the No.2 Research and Development Base by Minister Jiang. If medicines could be invented to replace the Abel antibiotic, Ninghai University would also share its honor and rise to the same level as the top universities: Yanjing University and Qinghua University.

As a man who had been working for education, Principal Lu Hanbo’s best wish was to make Ninghai University where he taught become one of the top institutions of higher education in the country, when he was still alive.

Now was the best opportunity. Naturally, Lu Hanbo didn’t want to miss it, different from many experts and professors who didn’t think Ding Ning was potential.

Lu Hanbo felt that if someone could invent a medicine that could replace the Abel antibiotic in three months, it must be Ding Ning.

After all, Ding Ning had created more than one or two miracles. After witnessing his all-subject miracles when Ding Ning took tests to join the graduate school that day, Lu Hanbo learned about every detail of him.

With his principal’s relations and also his good ties with Executive Zhou, he could find the information that ordinary people couldn’t.

The heart disease of the Shen Family’s girl troubled so many world-renowned cardiologists, but Ding Ning made it steady only with seven silver needles; Zhao Gang’s tumor translocation; Qian Yongjin in a deep coma was woken up; Sun Lanying was saved and lived like an ordinary person from her advanced liver cancer stage, although she was not cured; in a border hospital in Diannan, he showed his expertise to help border soldier Wang Guoliang avoid amputation; the two kidnappers who troubled all the experts were woken up by him in twenty minutes…

How could an ordinary doctor deal with all the cases he had encountered? The more he knew, the more he was shocked, and the more he was shocked, the more he became excited.

So, to Ding Ning, he was full of expectations. Even if he subconsciously didn’t think Ding Ning could invent a new medicine that could replace the Abel antibiotic in just three months, he firmly believed that it was but a matter of time.

Setting the three-month limit was only because the stock of the domestic Abel antibiotic could only last for three months. If not successful, the medicine could also be imported with high prices from other countries by then, which would buy more time. In his opinion, even if Ding Ning spent half a year, a year, two years, three years… as long as he could invent it, that was a victory.

Ding Ning didn’t think that much. Seeing everything prepared, he began his experiment at once and muted his phone to end all the distractions.

And even he didn’t know that Murong Yanran had texted him a message to tell him she transferred 2.4 billion to him.

Last night, the auction of the Master of the Divine Burin’s works that shocked the international jewelry and jade markets finally ended.

Each of the 39 ice type pendants was auctioned at the eight-digit sky-high price; the four ornaments’ prices were even more unbelievable, with the cheapest sold at the sky-high price of 1.8 billion and the most expensive sold at the incredulous price of 2.3 billion.

Tianfu Company had made a lot of money. With a good name earned, it also made profits. Instantly, it became a jewelry company with somewhat fame in the world.

Baiyun Xuan was the second beneficiary. Through this auction, it earned large sums of commission and also laid a solid foundation for being the top auction house in Ninghai. Those who came to discuss auctioning affairs were so many that Zhu Ancheng laughed out loud.

The great success of this auction was within Murong Yanran’s predication but beyond her expectations. The four ornaments carved by Ding Ning himself had been auctioned at such sky-high prices.

This made her very upset. She bought the four ornaments only with 800 million, but the cheapest was auctioned at the incredulous price of 1.8 billion, and the most expensive at the 2.3 billion. Their prices were far beyond the real values of these jade pieces. So, she felt that she had taken too many profits from Ding Ning.

So, after transferring money to Ding Ning, she especially sent a message to explain: She had not expected such auctioning prices and had never plotted to take his profits.

But Ding Ning didn’t reply. So, Murong Yanran became more and more anxious, thinking madly, “Is he angry because he thinks I’ve used him?”

Therefore, Murong Yanran, who was anxious at home, started calling Ding Ning, wanting to explain to him, but no one answered the phone after she called time after time. So, she felt very uncomfortable.

“Sister, you are already the general manager of Ninghai Filiale of Tianfu Company, but why are you still listless?”

Murong Yixiao was a little surprised and asked, but he came to Ninghai to see her elder sister on a secret trip by using the National Day.

The video in which Wang Xianghua’s a*us was f*cked was in Murong Yixiao’s hands. During this time, he was docile: He didn’t show any of his tempers and also treated Murong Yanran with respect.

Thanks to this auction, General Manager Sun had been officially transferred to the headquarters and become a deputy general manager of the company, on the same level as Wang Xianghua. Naturally, Murong Yanran was raised to the general manager’s position of Ninghai Filiale.

Perhaps Wang Juan had heard what Wang Xianghua said, took the initiative to congratulate Murong Yanran, and then handed in her resignation letter. Murong Yanran appointed two of her hard-working confidants as deputy general managers. Everything was on the track to a promising future.

“I never thought the jade ornaments I bought from Ding Ning only with 800 million were auctioned at such high prices. Now he refuses to answer my phone. Does it mean he is angry with me?”

Murong Yanran said with worry.

Murong Yixiao’s eyes shone. “Sister, do you mean you bought these jade ornaments from my brother-in-law?”

“Yeah, pooh… what brother-in-law? Don’t talk nonsense! He is the same as you, and I only treat him as my brother.”

Murong Yanran realized it, blushed instantly, and snapped unhappily.

“All right, he is not my brother-in-law, but why do you care about whether he is angry or not? In my opinion, you are unclear because you are the one involved. You have long liked him, right? Hehe, sister, don’t worry, I support you if you are together. I approve of him.”

Recalling the great back of Ding Ning that day, Murong Yixiao revealed a trace of admiration in his eyes. “What a good brother-in-law! Let me see who will dare to bully me in the future.”

“Do I like him?” Murong Yanran was stunned. After thinking carefully, she felt what her brother said was seemingly very reasonable.

But… that masked figure appeared in her brain silently!

“No, not possible, the man I like is the Black Masked Man, the one who came from nowhere to save me from the most dangerous situation, but never Ding Ning whom I only treat as my brother.”

Murong Yanran confirmed her idea soon. Her worry about Ding Ning’s anger only came from the fact that a sister didn’t want to be misunderstood by her brother. It had nothing to do with romantic ties.

“I had been liking the mature and prudent men like the Black Masked Man, let alone only the excellent martial arts practitioners can disappear from my world mysteriously. A little young man like Ding Ning can only be my brother. Yes, that’s it, it must be so.”

After giving herself numerous mental suggestions, Murong Yanran felt at ease by thinking this way, but what she missed was that the Black Masked Man had rarely appeared in her memory. Instead, Ding Ning always appeared mysteriously. When she thought of it, she smiled sweetly.

“Yixiao, don’t talk nonsense in the future. If others hear it, I will be quite ashamed. Ding Ning is but a brother for me, and I, I like someone else.”

Murong Yanran spoke a little coyly and blushed a bit.

“Ah, sister, you like someone? Who is he?”

Astonished, Murong Yixiao said disappointedly, “I only approve of Ding Ning as my brother-in-law, not any other man.”

“Why? You don’t have a good impression of Ding Ning, right?”

Murong Yanran looked at him a little strangely, asking.

Murong Yixiao felt unconfident. Anyway, he could not tell his sister that he cooperated with Qin Canglan to trap Ding Ning, but he was subdued by him and admired him. So, he could only smile dryly. “Previously, I didn’t know him, but later, after thinking carefully, I thought Ding Ning is a good man, treats you so well, can drink, and has also helped you so much. Where can I find a better brother-in-law?”

“I only treat him as my brother. Don’t think unreasonably! You, you are not young anymore. Please don’t always hang around with a horde of bad friends.”

Murong Yanran ruffled his head in a spoiling manner, but messed the hairstyle the hairdresser had just designed for him, making him complain sad-faced all the time.

“Tweet, tweet!”

Two little raccoons scampered into Murong Yanran arms, licking her fingers intimately with their tender pink tongues. She giggled.

“Raccoon No. 1 and Raccoon No. 2 are also my brother-in-law’s gifts, right? Look, he cares about you so much. He is afraid you are lonely and has sent you two companions.”

Murong Yixiao picked up a little raccoon and caressed its soft surf, but the little raccoon bore its fangs and brandished its claws. Maybe it didn’t like the low-taste names of Raccoon No. 1 and Raccoon No. 2.

Murong Yanran’s eyes revealed somewhat helplessness. “What brother-in-law? Ding Ning has a girlfriend. Don’t call him wrongly, okay?”

“What’s the matter if he has a girlfriend? If you like him, just take him. Happiness won’t come if you only stay at home. You are so beautiful, how can his girlfriend compete with you? Besides that, you are also the first successor of the Murong Family. If he marries you, he will save 100 years of hard work at least.”

Murong Yixiao spoke in disapproval.

Murong Yanran’s face turned dark. “I said I’m not a member of the Murong Family. I have not been one since I left the family two years ago.”

“Sister, don’t speak like that. Since you left two years ago, our father has been missing you and also asked his men to protect you secretly…”

“Enough, I don’t have such a father. Didn’t he know how our mother loved him? But he raised another woman outside our family. That was a betrayal and disloyalty to our mother. I will never forgive him!”

Red-eyed, Murong Yanran roared hysterically.

“Sister, let’s have a good chat!”

Seeing her sister was furious, Murong Yixiao held her hands and spoke seriously.

“Let’s chat. Don’t mention that person, then anything is okay.”

Murong Yanran wiped away her tears, and, stiffening her neck, said.
