The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 384

Tracy shook her head as she watched from the side. Their newly established laboratory didn't even have a janitor or a research talent.

She figured attracting someone of Emily's stature seemed utterly impossible. So, she poured two cups of water and sat down to watch the drama unfold.

Matthew's grin widened as he heard Emily's response. "Do you need money?"

She smiled indifferently and shook her head. "I'm not short on cash. My family bought a house and has a few million saved up."

He shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I'm asking if you need money for your research."

Emily sized Matthew up and smiled. "Yes, I need money. A lot of it." She didn't add that even selling his company wouldn't cover her research costs.

He nodded. "If you need money, how much are we talking about?"

She was caught off guard by his question about research funding. Laboratory funding required a lot of money, which wasn't something a few million could cover.

Emily had left her previous job because the funding was dictated by seniority and connections. Those with the right connections typically received more resources.

She wasn't willing to play the political game or beg for funds, which were never enough for her research. So, she resigned.

She quoted an exaggerated amount because she wanted to scare Matthew off. Though she needed ten million dollars for preliminary funding, she doubled it.

She said, "20 million dollars."

He just smiled and replied, "Is 20 million dollars enough? I'll give you 100 million dollars to set up your laboratory."

What?
