Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: The Socially Anxious Medical Genius

Jiang Cheng’s declaration, "I’m very proud," left Du Bin speechless.

Was he supposed to say it’s not good, that he’s not proud?

Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow with a smile, then turned gracefully and left.

She just loved putting on this sort of "high-class" style.

Behind her, Du Bin felt genuinely conflicted, lowering his head, lost in thought.

Jiang Cheng walked away without a care, taking a detour to the restroom first.

As she left the restroom, she was ready to check in and grab something to eat.

She had been busy all morning and was starving.

With her head down, wiping her hands, Jiang Cheng turned out from the restroom hallway, just as someone else came around the corner.

"Sorry—really sorry, I’m so sorry, terribly sorry!"

The string of foreign apologies immediately put Jiang Cheng’s nerves back on alert, with a standard kind smile on her face.

"It’s okay, are you alright?"

While speaking, Jiang Cheng caught a clear look at the person’s face.

Such a familiar face?

Jiang Cheng’s brain immediately kicked into gear.

"Sir, I’m the translator here, you can call me Jiang."

"May I know your name?"

The man in front of her looked exhausted, guilty, and after a while, he managed to speak.

"George, I’m George."

The apologetic George kept his head down, eyes struggling to find a focal point, and his two arms hanging awkwardly at his sides, unsure of where to place them.

A word immediately came to Jiang Cheng’s mind: social anxiety.

"Sorry, I’m really sorry."

George apologized again.

"It’s really okay, please don’t worry about it."

Jiang Cheng reassured him, as George raised his right hand to say goodbye, then put it down halfway, sidestepping past Jiang Cheng, saying: "Sorry!"

He ran off.

Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, because she recalled who George was.

A very unfortunate pharmaceutical genius from M Country.

If she remembered correctly, George was in a desperate situation due to his opponents’ suppression.

He was originally a pharmaceutical genius, successfully making a name for himself in the pharmaceutical field with a drug he developed.

But being only skilled in research, he was betrayed by his companions and lost his developed drug.

Right now, he was being blacklisted by all pharmaceutical companies in M Country.

They were blacklisting George because capitalists wanted to control him, to make him hand over a newly developed drug.

But George was someone with his own principles; he didn’t want his drug to be overly commercialized.

So he sold all his assets and came to Hua Xia with hope.

Unfortunately, this genius didn’t get what he wanted in Hua Xia and ultimately chose to go to YD, a country with medical freedom.

He had thought he could rely on his medical skills to independently research drugs, but due to YD’s hygiene issues, he contracted a disease and died.

It all seemed absurd.

So, the pharmaceutical bigwig George was extremely socially anxious?

This socially anxious person, not wanting his drug to be commercialized, traveled alone across the world to Hua Xia.

Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but admire him.

But what exactly did George encounter in Hua Xia, and why did he choose to leave?

It’s not important now, because she’s here.

Jiang Cheng followed behind George, watching him not too far, not too close.

As they walked, Jiang Cheng noticed something.

Someone was following George.

Four short people, not exactly shifty-eyed, but definitely with some scheming intent, were trailing behind George.

Jiang Cheng quickened her pace and deliberately bumped into one of them.

"I’m sorry."

"Ba—"

Jiang Cheng didn’t ask further and just led the way. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
