“I’m not sure either, but it’s just that he completely ignored what we had agreed on before and was unwilling to sign the contract.” Neo said as he followed Freya.
Before leaving, Freya, introduced by the Mechanical Doctor, had met a Doctor Lee who had mastered the technology to achieve a thickness of 0. 03 with the sheets.
So Freya wanted to buy this technology, or he would be willing to join their research institute.
It was agreed at the time that he could sell it to her.
But now the other party was unwilling.
This made Freya frown involuntarily.
“Is he in the institute now?” Freya asked.
“Yes, he just arrived, specifically looking for you. I arranged him in the conference room.”
Freya walked briskly towards the conference room.
At the door of the conference room, she pushed the door open.
The spacious conference room was empty, with only one person sitting there.
Seeing Freya standing at the door, Doctor Lee stood up.
Freya remained calm, “Neo, go pour two glasses of water.”
And then walked into the conference room.
She smiled, “I was delayed a bit, have you been waiting long? Come, sit.”
The man referred to as Doctor Lee was not old.
He looked to be under forty.
Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Giving off the impression of being quite cultured, with an old-fashioned feel.
He was very direct, “I came to see you today personally, just to apologize and say that I can’t sell the technology to you.”
Freya sat down and asked, “Why? Because the money is not enough? You name a figure, I can add to it.”
Doctor Lee shook his head, “I’m sorry.”
Freya stared at him for several seconds, “I think you’re not the kind of person who doesn’t keep their promises. Perhaps you’ve encountered something that has changed your mind. Why don’t you sit down and talk slowly, let me see if I can help you?”
Doctor Lee didn’t expect Freya to say that.
For a moment, he felt a little shaken.
But he found it hard to speak.
Stuck in a dilemma.
Freya wasn’t in a hurry either, just waiting quietly.
Neo brought in the tea.
Freya had him put it in front of Doctor Lee.
After about an hour of consideration, Doctor Lee finally said, “I have something to say, only to you.”
Freya immediately had Neo leave and instructed him to close the door.
“What do you need to say, say it directly.” Freya said.
Doctor Lee still found it difficult to speak, and after a while he said, “I was manipulated by someone, so I had to sign a contract with others to sell the technology to them.”
“Them? Who are they?” Freya asked.
Doctor Lee replied, “They’re also in the artificial heart business. From what I know, they are focused on making money, and I don’t want to associate with them. In fact, they started chasing me even before you approached me. Later, they probably heard that I was going to sign with you, so they used all means to force me into it.”
Freya fell silent, “What means did they use to force you into it?”
Doctor Lee lowered his head, “They played a game of Russian Roulette with me.”
After speaking, he looked to Freya for help, “Please help me, I don’t want to work with these people, but I also don’t want to lose my family. If those photos were to be seen by my wife, what would she think of me? How could I face my children? My life would be over.”
Freya did not immediately respond.
Because this required a well-thought-out solution.
“You can’t help me either, can you?” Doctor Lee’s eyes darkened.
Freya said, “Let me think.”
She stood up, “Don’t worry, I’ll make a call, maybe there’s a way.”
“Really? Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Doctor Lee saw a glimmer of hope.
He held the cup tightly in his hands.
Freya walked out of the conference room.
She stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, briefly hesitated, and then took out her phone.
Just as she was about to dial Elijah’s number, the news that popped up on the screen left her stunned!
