Chapter 206
"You also know Colby’s aunt?" Sean was not merely surprised, but genuinely astonished. "How did I not see you at the medical conference the year before last?"
Josie stuck out her tongue and said, "Lindsey, a prominent businesswoman, is the youngest daughter of the Clem family. Colby is also a member of the Clem family, so it’s easy to understand their relationship."
"It’s normal that you didn’t see me at the time. I wasn’t noticeable then. My attendance at the medical conference was due to my proficiency in foreign languages, as I was there to assist several seniors as an interpreter."
Sean was deeply moved. The more he interacted with Josie, the more he realized this petite young woman was truly a gem.
Not only was she intelligent and sharp, but her powers of observation and judgment also far exceeded those of ordinary people.
He was determined to snatch her home. ‘Such a precious one couldn’t be stolen away by others,’ he thought.
"I’ll visit the Clem family early tomorrow morning. Since you don’t need to go to the lab the next two days, and I need an assistant, get ready and I’ll come pick you up?" Sean asked.
Josie thought about it and felt that because she had lived through another lifetime, she understood Lindsey and the medical equipment better than Sean. If she could talk directly with Lindsey, the success rate would indeed be much higher.
"Alright, see you tomorrow," Josie looked up, smiling, and wished him good night. A trace of reluctance welled up in Sean’s heart, and for a moment, he didn’t want her to leave.
However, it was already late, and he was reluctant to let her go to bed so late. He raised his hand and said good night to her. "Go up now. I’ll watch you go upstairs," he said.
At the staff dormitory of Aloville Traditional Medicine Hospital, outsiders weren’t allowed to go upstairs. Josie took out her access card, swiped it to enter, and waved to Sean after reaching the window. She didn’t realize that she had already become dependent on Sean.
Early in the morning the following day, Sean was waiting downstairs. Josie finished packing up and ran downstairs. As soon as she got into the car, she handed Sean a sheet of paper and said, "This is the equipment list I wrote for our upcoming research.
"I’ve discussed with Joseph. It’s not necessary to replace some equipment with the best models. However, for certain equipment, we’ll use the most advanced available if we can afford it.
"But of course, to also help you save money, we’ll use the institute’s equipment whenever we can."
Sean put away the list and couldn’t help but smile. "Don’t worry about saving money for me; prioritize the research as much as possible," he said.
"Sean," Josie changed her posture, reining in her smile, and said, "Aren’t you concerned that our research might fail, and all your investments would be a waste?"
Sean raised his hand and pinched her face. "Are you underestimating yourself too much? Or do you think I am an outsider who knows nothing? We worked on that project together, and I know very well if it has investment value or not," he said.
"That’s good!" Josie patted her chest and said, "I was so afraid you wouldn’t be able to make any money!"
Sean paused in surprise. He had thought that Josie undertook all this solely for research purposes, aiming to compete with David’s team and to vent her anger. He had not expected her to think so far ahead.
"Are you worried that I won’t be able to make any profit?" Sean asked, starting the car.
Josie nodded and said, "Yes, you must make profits, and the Reedshaw Group must not have any problems." She spoke the latter sentence so softly that Sean didn’t fully catch it.
In her previous life, Aiden and his team acquired the Reedshaw Group after a few years. Following that, the legacy of the Reedshaw family’s traditional medicine disappeared from Aloville, and the Reedshaw family’s Aloville Traditional Medicine Hospital merged with another traditional medicine hospital.
She didn’t know how Sean felt at that time. However, when she later returned for the school’s anniversary celebration, she saw Delilah.
Delilah had never given up on passing down the Reedshaw Group’s medical tradition and had consistently advocated for the principal to retain the acupuncture program. However, that day, the program was cancelled due to David’s insistence.
