21st Century Necromancer

Today, since Chen Yu was going to the Regenerative Medicine Laboratory to address the follow-up treatment for Keiko's father, Jounouchi Hiromi was working alone; Chen Yu did not accompany her.

For Jounouchi Hiromi, who had grown accustomed to going to work with Chen Yu and leaving together, this undoubtedly felt somewhat novel.

However, no matter how Hiromi felt, she wouldn't say that not having her husband accompany her to work made any significant difference, it just felt a little novel, that's all.

As usual, she arrived at the office and was about to push the door open when Chen Yu's secretary, Shirai Reina, came running out of Chen Yu's office. She approached Jounouchi Hiromi and asked, "Professor Jounouchi, isn't Professor Chen Yu coming in today?"

"Mr. Chen Yu has gone to the Regenerative Medicine Laboratory today, the patient who awoke from the vegetative state is undergoing follow-up treatment. Do you need him for something? If it's not urgent, you can wait and speak with him when he comes in the afternoon," Jounouchi Hiromi explained to Shirai Reina, also wondering why Reina hadn't simply called Chen Yu.

"It's not urgent, but it is important," Reina, her expression one of concern, perhaps about delaying matters, explained to Jounouchi Hiromi, "It's a call from Shunten-do, they said that the clinical trials for your broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug have been completed, and the results have been submitted to the relevant departments. If approved, it can go into production and officially hit the market."

"Really? Shunten-do moved that quickly?" Hiromi was surprised to hear this news; she certainly knew what the marketing of Chen Yu's broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug meant and couldn't help feeling genuinely happy for Chen Yu in her astonishment.

Reina nodded and handed over a document to Jounouchi Hiromi, "This is the experiment report faxed from Shunten-do, it came early this morning. That's why I wanted to contact the professor urgently, but I couldn't get through to his phone."

"Mr. Chen Yu's phone isn't reachable? Then he might be busy with something. I'll try calling him later," Jounouchi Hiromi thought for a moment and said to Reina, "By the way, may I take a look at this report first? I'll give it to Mr. Chen Yu after I've read it."

Facing Jounouchi Hiromi's request, Reina had no thought of refusal, especially since Hiromi was Chen Yu's wife. There was no reason for her to deny Hiromi, so she nodded and said, "Of course, that's fine, I'll trouble you with this then, Professor Jounouchi."

After speaking, Reina gave a slight bow to Jounouchi Hiromi and then returned to Chen Yu's office.

Jounouchi Hiromi watched her retreat into Chen Yu's office before she herself entered her own, carrying the experiment report—which she was very interested in.

——————————————————

Before Jounouchi Hiromi could contact Chen Yu, he had already received the news about the completion of Shunten-do's drug experiments.

"I didn't expect Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals to be so well-informed. Shunten-do just completed the experiment yesterday, and you already knew about it today," Chen Yu said laughing, looking at Kyuuzai Ryousen, who was delivering the news to him.

The broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug was a significant investment of Chen Yu's effort, from the initial idea to the exhausting efforts to treat Inomata Naoki, to now becoming his capital in establishing himself in the medical field...

The efforts Chen Yu had poured into this research were finally coming to fruition, so how could he not feel delighted?

"Shunten-do wasn't trying to conceal the matter. Since last night the news has been circulating in the industry, and today they submitted the results to the relevant departments. By now, this news must have become the top story of every major news media," Kyuuzai Ryousen said, not surprised that his father obtained this news, as no pharmaceutical company would hide its success in drug development unless the experiments failed.

"What about Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals? I remember you, along with Shunten-do and Kazama Pharmaceuticals, obtained my trial commission, and you were even a step ahead of them." Perhaps in high spirits, Chen Yu couldn't help but joke, "Once this new drug hits the market, I believe Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals will soon grow into an industry giant, and you can become a major conglomerate's scion... no, the second scion."

Ryousen, confronted with Chen Yu's teasing, simply bowed his head, maintaining humility, "Your Excellency jokes. Before you, worldly power and wealth mean nothing. I've already offered all my loyalty to you. Should you need it, all of Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals' wealth and power are at your disposal."

"Haha, there's no need for such talk. I believe in your loyalty, Ryosen-kun," Chen Yu chuckled, yet he spoke earnestly, "But even for me, worldly wealth and power do hold significance. At least, it's with power and money that I am able to do what I wish to do better, isn't it?"

"Yes," Ryousen naturally wouldn't contradict Chen Yu. After a simple reply, he continued standing by Chen Yu's side.

Chen Yu was in the midst of preparing for the treatment of Keiko's father. Although a spell could resolve the issue, he still had to maintain appearances before ordinary people. Moreover, Chen Yu had to adjust Keiko's father's body after the influence of the Dragon Blood Potion to prevent any undesired incidents.

While Chen Yu handled all this, Ryousen's phone suddenly rang.

After briefly answering the call, Ryousen covered the receiver with his hand and whispered to Chen Yu, "My Lord, it's Member of Parliament Kanai on the line."

"Member of Parliament Kanai? Why is he calling you?" Chen Yu was puzzled for a moment but still reached out to take the phone, "Moshi moshi, this is Chen Yu."

"Mr. Chen Yu, congratulations! I have heard of the success of the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug that you developed. It's truly an outstanding contribution to the health of all Japan... no, to all of humankind!" Kanai praised him over the phone and extended an invitation, "I was wondering if you're free tonight. I'd like to have a small gathering in your honor this evening."

Chen Yu could guess that Kanai was implying there were things best not discussed over the phone and wanted to communicate privately with him. After musing briefly, Chen Yu agreed to the invite.
