Zhao Yiyi froze for a moment, kicking her legs wildly. "Why are you keeping me in suspense? Tell me, tell me!"

"Song He successfully improved a type of engineered bacteria," Zhang Zhilei said.
"That's it?" Zhao Yiyi was stunned. She asked uncertainly, "What are engineered bacteria? Is improving them really that impressive?"
"I don't know the exact difficulty, but it caused a sensation in the laboratory. The professors and graduate students surrounded Song He, begging him to share his secrets and explain his experimental approach." Zhang Zhilei explained.
Zhao Yiyi sucked in a breath, her pupils trembling.
A scene appeared in her mind:
Song He wore a handsome white lab coat, standing amid a crowd and speaking eloquently with commanding confidence. The highly respected old professors nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of approval...
That was insanely impressive!
"And that's not all. The second young master of Zhuang Zhou Technology Company happened to visit the school and offered a large sum to buy the engineered bacteria Song He improved!"
"The contract is already in Song He's hands. They'll probably sign and complete the transaction in the next few days." Zhang Zhilei continued unhurriedly.
Zhao Yiyi drew in a breath, her eyes widening.
Song He was making money! He was already earning money from scientific research!
"How much can he sell it for?" Zhao Yiyi asked curiously.
"I don't know. I'd guess at least ten or twenty thousand. Maybe even tens of thousands," Zhang Zhilei said.
Zhao Yiyi was dumbfounded... With more than ten thousand yuan, she could eat
