Chapter 49 The Research Group
Lilian stepped out of her cultivation space with Sunny her arms. The little fox was so fascinated by the unfamiliar surroundings that he immediately darted of to explore.
She took out her phone and noticed several missed call-one from Mr. Arron, one from Karina, and a few from unfamiliar numbers. Just as she was about to return the calls later, Mr. Arron’s number popped up again.
She answered.
“Kid, did you really cure that little girl from the Shanks amily?” Mr. Arron’s voice came through, sounding half-surprised, half-amused.
“I did,” Lilian replied calmly.
“No wonder that old man was so ecstatic when he called me,” Mr. Arron chuckled. “Said his granddaughter’s completely recovered, and his daughter-in-law’s also getting better. They’re even planning to throw a banquet and invite all their friends to share the good news p>
He added with a laugh, “And here I was wondering why Houston came poking around asking about your skills. Turns out he was fishing for intel to help his own lid p>
Lilian let out a quiet laugh. “Yes, Mr. Houston did mention he reached out to you. I didn’t really pay much attention to it at the time p>
“Either way, I’m glad. That girl’s illness has plagued the family for over a decade. Now the old man can finally rest easy,” Mr. Arron said with a satisfied sigh.
Just as they wrapped up the call, Lilian’s phone rang again-this time it was Karina.
“Lilian, where have you been? I’ve been trying to reach ou for ages,” Karina said, clearly relieved to hear her voice.
“I’m okay,” Lilian replied, walking toward the bar and pouring herself a glass of water. “What’s going on? Is it urgent p>
“Yes-well, sort of. Remember when you asked me to keep an eye out for any promising research institutions? Most of them are already pretty well established, and let’s face it, they’re not easy to get into without strong backing p>
Karina’s voice turned more enthusiastic. “But! I know a team of researchers-super talented, but they’ve been constantly sidelined because they don’t have the connections. They’ve done independent projects. before. It got me thinking-why don’t we just create our own research institute p>
Lilian paused, a spark igniting in her mind.
She had planned for Skyreach Group to eventually enter the pharmaceutical industry. In that case, building an in-house research team was far more strategic than relying on external partnerships.
“You’re right,” Lilian said finally, her voice resolute. “Contact them. We’ll meet and figure everything out together p>
“Got it,” Karina responded. “Oh, and one more thing. I’ve scheduled the patient appointments for this week. I’ve sent their contact info to your phone. Take a look when you get a moment p>

Finished
They ended the call, and within seconds, Karina’s message came through. Lilian glanced at the number and dialed it directly.
After a short ring, an aged voice answered on the other end. “Hello? Who is this p>
“Hello, I’m Lilian,” she replied.
There was a pause-and then, a sudden burst of excitement.
“Ms. Lilian! I’ve been waiting for your call. My surnames Landon. It’s a great honor p>
“Apologies for the delay,” Lilian said. “It’s been a busy week p>
“No worries at all! With your skills, I’d wait as long as needed,” Mr. Landon said eagerly. “Please, tell me when you’re available, and I’ll send a car right away p>
Lilian thought for a moment. “Tomorrow morning, ten o’clock. Pick me up at Golden Coast p>
“I’ll have someone there right on time,” he promised.
Lilian ended the call, her eyes thoughtful.
The pieces were slowly falling into place.
