Upon hearing Qin Yun’s words, Li Kahe quickly nodded and said, "Thank you, President Qin."

"Alright, go ahead. Keep researching." Qin Yun smiled and said.

...

Li Kahe stayed at the Celestial Fortune Medical Research Institute for a while, thinking about the bonus he would receive.

The conditions at home weren’t very good. Previously, while researching shampoo at home, he even had arguments with his wife.

Li Kahe didn’t really care much about money; otherwise, he wouldn’t have continued his shampoo research at home even when he was short on cash.

Though he didn’t mind, he had his family to consider, especially his daughter, and surely wanted them to have a better life.

"Group Leader Li, what’s up? You seem preoccupied?"

While he was deep in thought, a man came over from nearby, noticing Li Kahe occasionally checking his phone, he asked with a smile.

"Group Leader Zhou."

Seeing the visitor, Li Kahe smiled and said.

The man in front of him was named Zhou Qiang, who also researched at Celestial Fortune Medical Research Institute, but focused on toothpaste, and had been in the factory for over three weeks.

"I recently developed Celestial Fortune Shampoo, and the boss said the bonus will be credited to my account soon." Li Kahe didn’t hold back, saying with a smile.

"Oh? A bonus?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang paused, then showed an expression of immense envy and said, "Group Leader Li’s shampoo is really effective, the bonus must be substantial, any idea how much?"

Li Kahe shook his head and said, "I don’t know yet."

"Ding!"

While speaking, Li Kahe’s phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the message on his phone, which was sent by the bank.

"Has the bonus been credited?"

Li Kahe was delighted, quickly opened the message, and was suddenly frozen by the number he saw.

He looked at the message, which showed the number two followed by several zeros!

"Two million!"

He counted, and was even more astonished.

Actually, during his time researching at Celestial Fortune Research Institute, everything was provided by them, with no detailed research contract between them.

After all, Qin Yun never explicitly demanded that they had to develop anything, meaning that even if they didn’t produce any results, Qin Yun would still provide funding, equipment, and pay their salaries.

This time, with a breakthrough in shampoo development, Li Kahe felt that even if there was a reward, ten or twenty thousand would be quite nice, considering Qin Yun didn’t owe him anything.

But Qin Yun gave him two million!

That’s definitely a huge sum!

Currently, Celestial Fortune Shampoo has yet to generate such revenue for Qin Yun.

"Group Leader Li, did the bonus arrive?" Zhou Qiang saw Li Kahe staring at his phone with a shocked expression and asked with a smile.

Coming to his senses, Li Kahe smiled and said, "Yes, it’s credited."

"How much is it?" Zhou Qiang asked curiously.

Celestial Fortune has a transparent policy regarding salaries and bonuses, not intentionally concealing them or preventing employees from inquiring among each other.

Li Kahe didn’t hold back and explained.

"Two million?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qiang’s face immediately showed a hint of shock, evidently surprised by the bonus.

"Alright, Group Leader Zhou, I’m leaving work now. See you tomorrow."

Li Kahe said with a smile; despite his interest in shampoo research, he usually stays in the lab a bit longer even after work.

But now, he was eager to share the good news with his wife and daughter.

Watching Li Kahe leave, Zhou Qiang stood in a daze.

"What’s up, Group Leader?"

"Why are you daydreaming?"

A few people arrived there, seeing Zhou Qiang dazed and asked curiously.

These people looked at Zhou Qiang as they were all from the toothpaste laboratory.

Looking at the team, Zhou Qiang paused briefly before saying, "I just ran into Li Kahe from the shampoo laboratory, his shampoo bonus has been credited."

"Bonus credited?"

"How much?"

Upon hearing Zhou Qiang’s words, the group quickly asked.

"Two million." Zhou Qiang said after taking a deep breath.

Upon hearing this, their faces all showed a hint of shock.

"Two million? That’s a lot!"

Amidst their shock, their faces also revealed a deep sense of envy.

Looking at the group, Zhou Qiang said, "You all stay overtime and try to make breakthroughs in your research soon!"

"Okay, Group Leader."

"I’m not going home tonight."

After Zhou Qiang said this, the group nodded, with expressions like they were injected with zeal.

Clearly, they were also motivated by the two million bonus.

Their toothpaste research was progressing smoothly too, there were even some significant breakthroughs.

...

On the other side, Li Kahe arrived home, the door was half open.

"Mom, you’re back."

Before he walked in, Li Xiaowen’s voice reached him.

"Yes, Wen, go do your homework. I’ll cook, we’ll eat after your dad gets back." A somewhat tired voice came through.

Opening the door, Li Kahe immediately saw Wang Juan wearing the mechanical factory uniform.

It seemed Wang Juan had just returned.

Wang Juan now worked at a mechanical factory, leaving early and returning late, clearly exhausted, yet she was holding food from the fridge, ready to cook.

Seeing Li Kahe, Wang Juan said in surprise, "Honey, you’re back?"

Previously, Li Kahe usually came back quite late.

"Yes."

Li Kahe nodded, looking at his tired wife, feeling a bit guilty.

He used to stay at home researching shampoo, ignoring household matters, and when his wife Wang Juan opposed his research, he was quite upset.

But all along, it was his wife earning money, now working hard every day and still having to cook meals.

Recalling his past behavior, Li Kahe secretly reflected that he was really irresponsible, not taking care of his household.

"Then hold on a moment, I’ll cook something," Wang Juan said.

She was about to get busy.

Seeing Wang Juan about to get busy, Li Kahe suddenly held her, smiling as he said, "Honey, didn’t I recently develop a shampoo? The institute has given me a bonus."

"A bonus?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Juan’s eyes lit up and she asked eagerly, "How much?"

Currently, Li Kahe’s salary at the institute is ten thousand yuan per month, which is quite decent, enough to support the family.

"Two million." Li Kahe said with a smile.

"Two million?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Juan paused, then her face showed immense relief and joy, saying, "That much?"

"Yes, now the money is in this card."

Li Kahe said with a smile, taking out a bank card, which he handed to Wang Juan, "Honey, I don’t spend much. You keep this card, I only need a thousand yuan for myself."

Indeed, he didn’t care much about money, usually didn’t manage it.
