It was dusk again, and the school bell echoed across the campus,
Han Letian, who had been on sick leave for several days, returned to school today, yawned, and sprawled listlessly on his desk with a long sigh.
"What's wrong with you?"
Li Cheng stretched lazily, stood up, and started packing his backpack.
"So sleepy."
With his head buried in his arms, Han Letian replied in a muffled voice, "The fever reducer from Gen-Sys Biotechnology Company does work, but its side effect is that it makes one feel really drowsy."
Gen-Sys Biotechnology Company, established four years ago through joint investment by more than a dozen multinational pharmaceutical corporations (Pfizer, Novartis, Roche, Johnson & Johnson, etc.), encompasses various fields including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostic products, agriculture, forestry, and genetically modified food, and is the most technologically advanced medical company in the world. People often compare it to the umbrella company from "Biochemical Crisis."
Of course, Gen-Sys is much stronger than the umbrella company.
