One Sunday morning, when Samuel was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up by a forceful shake.
This was accompanied by the incessant urging of a girl. "Daddy, Daddy, get up, Daddy!"
Samuel frowned and wanted to get angry, but the words stopped at the tip of his tongue. He opened his eyes in confusion and sat up helplessly. "Alice, let Daddy sleep a little longer."
"No, Daddy, have you forgotten? Today is the opening day of August's concert!"
A pretty girl with a few freckles on her face chattered on like a little lark. "Daddy, didn't you promise me last week? You'll accompany me to August's concert today!"
"Alright, alright, Daddy knows..."
Samuel rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on, and began to put on his shoes and socks.
"Mm mm, hurry up Daddy, Auntie Linda has already made breakfast!"
Only then did the girl leave Samuel's bedroom as she wished.
"Sigh..."
Looking at the girl who looked like a little girl, Samuel felt both relieved and helpless. He wanted to scold her, but every time he saw the blissful look on his daughter's face, all his anger dissipated.
The girl's name was Alice. She had just turned eighteen this year. Who would have thought that this girl, who seemed to be bouncing around with boundless vitality, could only sit in a wheelchair more than a year ago, unable to even step out of the house?
At that time, Alice's face was gloomy and her body was thin and weak. The only thing she liked to do was lie in front of the window and watch her peers walk by.
Whenever this happened, the girl's eyes would always be filled with envy and desire.
Samuel saw this and felt the pain in his heart. So, he gave up his favorite field of clinical medicine and turned his attention to the field of stem cell research in an attempt to find an opportunity to treat his daughter.
However, he had been wandering around for ten years and still could not find a real way.
Until one day, Samuel met a young man named Chen Chen.
Like a devil from hell, the other party used his daughter's recovery as a bargaining chip to entice him to join an organization called "God's Forbidden Zone".
From then on, Samuel's life was completely rewritten.
Illegal animal experiments, illegal clinical experiments, and even research on human cloning — these were the things Samuel spent his days doing.
If these things were to be discovered by the Swiss authorities, he would probably immediately face more than ten years in prison.
But as long as Alice stood up again, what did all that he had to endure now matter?
Thinking of this, Samuel put on his clothes, pushed open the bedroom door and went down to the first floor, only to see that the television in the living room was on.
A man was sitting on the sofa with his back facing her, watching cartoons on the TV station with great interest.
From Samuel's point of view, he could only see the back of the other party. It was a man, and he did not seem to be very old.
Is he Alice's classmate?
Samuel frowned and ignored the man. Instead, he walked past the man and fetched a glass of water from the kitchen faucet.
"Daddy!"
Just then, Alice ran over from the dining room and urged, "Daddy, hurry up and eat breakfast!"
"Aren't you going to ask your classmates to join us?" Samuel asked curiously.
"My classmate?" Alice was stunned. "What classmate? I didn't invite any other classmate today."
"No invitation?"
Samuel was even more puzzled. He looked into the living room again, only to see that the figure was still sitting on the sofa, even picking up the glass of water on the coffee table to take a sip.
At this time, Alice also saw the man and asked curiously, "Hey, is there a guest at home?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Samuel's expression gradually became serious. Since it was not his daughter's classmate, it was even less likely that it was a friend of the housekeepers hired by the family. Those housekeepers did not have the guts to do so.
In other words, the identity of the other party was unknown.
Thinking of this, Samuel gave his daughter a look, and then he slowly walked toward the other party. But this time, the figure turned around on his own initiative.
A young but familiar face appeared in front of Samuel.
"Mr. Samuel, long time no see."
"It's you?"
Samuel's expression changed. "When did you come?"
"I just came and saw that the door was unlocked, so I came in myself."
The young man spoke fluent German and at the same time revealed a gentlemanly smile. "I hope you don't mind."
On the side, Alice looked at her father, then at the smiling young man, revealing a strange expression.
Obviously, her father did not seem to be willing to see this person...
Was it her father's colleague?
Alice thought to herself.
"This must be Miss Alice."
The young man then glanced at his daughter next to Samuel. "Very beautiful. Congratulations on your recovery."
"Thank you."
Alice thanked him in a reserved manner.
"Alice, you go eat first. Don't wait for me."
At this time, Samuel seemed to have decided on something and said to his daughter next to him, his tone unquestionable.
"Oh, okay..."
Alice did not say much. Faced with this situation, Alice understood that the two must have some secret matters to discuss.
Therefore, the sensible Alice had to turn around and leave, secretly praying that the arrival of this person would not affect her plans to watch the concert with her father.
After Alice left, Samuel sat opposite the young man and said solemnly, "Chen Chen, long time no see. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Samuel, there's no need to act like you're facing a formidable enemy. I returned to Switzerland just to discuss something with Mr. Wynn."
The young man smiled faintly.
This young man from Mainland China was Chen Chen.
Little X could hack into the network of airlines at will and create all kinds of random identities, so Chen Chen could travel around the world at will without being discovered by the local government.
"See Mr. Wynn?" Samuel was a little taken aback. "But Mr. Wynn isn't at my house."
"I know, but he'll be here soon."
With that, Chen Chen pointed to the door.
As soon as Chen Chen's voice fell, there was a doorbell on the door.
Samuel was even more bewildered. He slowly walked to the door, glanced at Chen Chen again, and then opened the door.
Outside the door, an old man with gray hair appeared, with a rigid temperament unique to the Swiss. Who else could it be but Wynn, the general manager of Blacklight's Swiss branch?
"Mr. Wynn?"
Although Samuel had always disliked this old man due to his inner arrogance as a researcher, he could not be rude as the host since the other party had personally come to visit.
Chen Chen did not get up to greet him, but just nodded politely at Wynn. "Mr. Wynn, long time no see."
"Long time no see, my boss."
Wynn handed a bottle of red wine to Samuel next to him, then took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. "I didn't expect to see you again after a year, but I heard that our African branch is developing very well, so I'm relieved."
"Mr. Wynn, you must be joking. If it weren't for your efforts behind the scenes, managing the Swiss company in good order, I wouldn't have such great development there."
Chen Chen smiled, took out a shiny silver card, and pushed it over. "I invited you here this time to give you this."
Wynn gently took the card. When he saw the words on the card, he suddenly showed a look of surprise. "Eco Science City sanatorium membership card?"
Samuel was also taken aback when he saw this card, and even showed a trace of envy.
This card might not be known among civilians, but in the circle of the top rich, it was known to everyone!
As the sanatorium with the most complete medical facilities and the most advanced life sciences in the entire Federation, Eco Science City had become the first choice for the world's rich to recuperate.
Today, in addition to conventional medical treatment, Eco Science City also had two treatment technologies, 'Age-reversal Treatment' and 'Alzheimer's Disease Reversal Treatment', which were unique to the entire Federation. This also led to Eco Science City welcoming thousands of aristocrats and celebrities from all over the world every day.
The huge flow of people had led to the waiting list of the sanatorium to be more than two years old.
Therefore, Eco Science City introduced the so-called membership system.
Members were divided into five levels: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond.
The higher the level of a member, the earlier they could enjoy the services of Eco Science City. Among these cards, except for bronze, silver, and gold cards that could be bought with money, platinum and diamond cards could not be bought with money at all.
It was said that only a few dignitaries could get both platinum and diamond membership cards. The function of a platinum membership card was — one could go to Eco Science City to receive treatment at any time, anywhere, without the restriction of appointments!
"Yes, this is a platinum membership card for the sanatorium."
Chen Chen nodded. "Don't decline it. This is something you deserve as an important employee of the company."
Hearing Chen Chen's words, although Wynn tried his best to control it, his trembling hands still exposed the restlessness in the depths of his heart. As someone who had silently watched Chen Chen's rise, he knew better than anyone how precious this membership card was...
Although Wynn was only the general manager of the company, he once held more than 20% of the company's shares. When Chen Chen spent more than a billion to buy this company, he could have retired with success.
It was just that Chen Chen had taken a fancy to Wynn's connections in Switzerland, so he took the initiative to retain him.
At this point, there was nothing that could move this old man. Money was not what he valued the most, but this card had completely hit Wynn's soft spot.
This was something he could not refuse...
"Right."
Just when Wynn was overwhelmed with excitement, Chen Chen said again, "With this card, you can go to Eco Science City to receive treatment at any time. The treatment costs can be deducted from the company's funds, but before that, I'd like to ask for your help."
With that, Chen Chen's lips curled into a smile. He took out a proposal and placed it in front of Wynn. "I'd like to ask you to help me settle the export of ultra-precision machine tools in Switzerland..."
