Chapter 497: Chapter 496 Reverence

Su Yang had just gone upstairs when the foreigners immediately came swarming in, ignoring the staff members’ attempts to stop them and charging straight upstairs.

The staff had no choice but to call upstairs.

The meeting upstairs had already concluded, and with the arrival of Su Yang, it was indeed time to handle these matters.

"You go and receive the foreigners..." Elder Hua said to Number Three, "I will personally talk with Master Su."

"Elder Hua, we will accompany you!" Director Wang hurriedly said.

"No need!" Elder Hua waved his hand, "With your attitude, you are not fit to ask for favors."

Director Wang said, "Elder Hua, with your status, why should you humble yourself before such a young man?"

Elder Hua slightly furrowed his brow and glanced at Director Wang, "What do you mean ’humble myself’? This technology all belongs to Master Su. It’s already his greatest support to us that he’s willing to let us study his technology. Now, we want him to share his technology with these foreigners, doesn’t that mean we owe him? What? In your eyes, just because your position is high enough and your status is lofty, you can lord over others and order them around?"

Director Wang’s face turned embarrassing as he quickly said, "I... I didn’t mean that..."

"I hope you didn’t mean that!" Elder Hua said coldly, "If you really think that way, then I believe you are not fit to hold your position. As an official, you are no different from an ordinary citizen. You have no right to boss others around, and you have no right to think your position is all that lofty!"

After speaking, Elder Hua left abruptly, leaving Director Wang drenched in cold sweat.

Just as Elder Hua said, he thought too highly of himself and never took Su Yang seriously.

If it hadn’t been for Elder Hua and Elder Yue being there today, they would have made the decision on their own, never considering Su Yang’s perspective.

The words he had just exchanged with Elder Hua were an attempt to flatter him. He hadn’t anticipated that his attempt to suck up would backfire so badly. Elder Hua’s scolding left him extremely embarrassed, yet he didn’t dare to rebut.

There was no helping it, someone like Elder Hua deserved the utmost respect, even from his boss’s boss’s boss!

Only after Elder Hua and the others had gone far did Director Wang indignantly say, "Isn’t he just a high school student? We’ve invested so much funding into supporting his project research. Shouldn’t it be his duty to share the technology? Elder Hua is really too polite to these people! The more polite you are to this kind of person, the more they think they’re something special, it’s completely unreasonable!

The supervisor sitting beside him glanced at him but said nothing. Although he was the supervisor, Director Wang had a deep background, and he didn’t want to tangle with Director Wang.

"Master Su has a very good temper, and if you negotiate with him nicely, there definitely won’t be an issue!" Number Three stood up and said, "I’ll go down first to receive the foreigners; you all sit here for a while. As soon as there’s news from Elder Hua, let me know immediately so I can make a decision!"

As soon as Su Yang arrived upstairs, Lin Dingkun caught up with him. Lin Dingkun briefly explained the situation of the meeting and then detailed Elder Hua’s stance, ending with a whisper, "Elder Hua is the absolute top figure in our country’s medical field, respected for both his seniority and medical skills. He holds tremendous influence domestically. Elder Hua holds you in high regard, so speak well with him when you meet. If Elder Hua wishes to take you under his wing, you can avoid many detours!"

Without a word, Su Yang knew Lin Dingkun was looking out for him. However, Su Yang would never let those arrogant foreigners share his technology!

Lin escorted Su Yang to the outside of the reception room, then quietly backed away.

Upon entering the room, Su Yang saw both Elder Hua and Elder Yue sitting inside.

Upon seeing Su Yang, Elder Yue immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Master Su, you’ve arrived. Come, let me introduce you to..."

Elder Yue was about to speak when he noticed Elder Hua, struggling to stand up with the support of the sofa. He was taken aback, knowing that Elder Hua wouldn’t even stand up for Pingnan Province’s number one; the respect he was showing to Su Yang was tremendous.

Elder Yue quickly helped Elder Hua to stand, and with a shaky hand, Elder Hua sincerely said, "I am Hua Jiren, I’ve long heard of Master Su’s name. Seeing you today, it is clear that heroes emerge at a young age!"

Su Yang had a good impression of Elder Hua. He shook hands with Elder Hua and softly said, "Please take a seat, Elder Hua."

"Please take a seat as well, Master Su!" Elder Hua waited for Su Yang to sit down before he took his own seat with the help of Elder Yue.

"Master Su, I assume you have been informed about the situation," Elder Hua sighed and recounted the gist of the meeting before looking at Su Yang, pleading, "I know this request might be too much, but I still hope you will consider it. Allowing those foreign companies to share the technology is indeed our loss. However, it also involves the lives of tens of millions of people. What I can do is make this choice. Of course, when announcing it to the public, I will take all responsibility, ensuring that Master Su won’t be involved or vilified for this matter!"

"Elder Hua..." Elder Yue’s expression changed drastically; Elder Hua was accepting all the responsibility.

Once it became known that the technology was shared with those foreign conglomerates, there would undoubtedly be an uproar. Those responsible for the decision could even be labeled as traitors.

In such circumstances, Elder Hua, an outsider, was prepared to take all the blame. Such magnanimity and resolution commanded respect.

"Never mind!" Elder Hua waved his hand and said softly, "I won’t live much longer. In a lifetime, be it honor or disgrace, it’s all posthumous. It’s worth bearing the stigma alone if it can save millions of lives!"

Su Yang looked at Elder Hua. His initial favorable impression was now accompanied by genuine respect.

Elder Yue sighed and turned to Su Yang, saying in a low voice, "Master Su, we know this is unfair to you. But as Elder Hua said, it involves the lives of millions. Look, is there any way..."

Elder Yue couldn’t continue, feeling agitated. Such technology, how could they allow others to snatch it away?

Su Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and shook his head decisively, "No!"

"What?" Elder Yue was stunned. Elder Hua had personally requested, and he pleaded on his behalf, yet Su Yang still disagreed? This was too disrespectful!

At that moment, the guard at the door’s expression changed. He frowned and instructed the person beside him, "Go tell Director Wang that Su Yang disagrees with sharing the technology; they need to find a way to apply pressure. No matter what, we can’t let Elder Hua kneel before such a person!"
