One afternoon in late June, Liu Gen and Ouyang Xue finished their microbiological experiments and walked out of Shaw Building. This building is a laboratory building for basic medicine. It was built with donations from Shaw. It is one of the many ancient buildings on campus, except for the library.
One of the few modern landmark buildings.
There is a parking lot outside the building, but it is basically not full of cars. The Mercedes-Benz driven by Ouyang Xue is parked alone in the center.
Li Yong and Xiao Xiao stood in front of the Mercedes-Benz.
"It's Professor Xiao..." Ouyang Xue exclaimed in surprise, then lowered her voice and glanced at Liu Gen: "I seem to be waiting for you."
Liu Gen didn't seem to hear what Ouyang Xue said. He ran down the steps in a few steps, waved towards Li Yong and Xiao Xiao, and shouted happily: "Professor Xiao, you are back!"
"Hello, Liu Gen." Xiao Xiao took a few steps forward to greet him, opening his arms.
Liu Gen ran close to Xiao Xiao and saw him opening his arms to hug her. He was stunned for a moment, and then he happily opened his arms and hugged Xiao Xiao.
When Xiao Xiao hugged Liu Gen, he glanced at Ouyang Xue, who was walking forward quickly, and whispered in Liu Gen's ear: "You owe me an explanation."
Liu Gen's heart trembled, and he let go of Xiao Xiao's arms, pretending not to hear, and greeted Li Yong: "Hello, Principal Li."
"I'm no longer the principal, why can't you change your words?" Li Yong lowered his face, as if blaming Liu Gen.
"Haha...Professor Li." Liu Gen immediately changed his tune.
Ouyang Xue walked forward and greeted Li Yong and Xiao Xiao warmly.
Li Yong looked Ouyang Xue up and down, and said lukewarmly: "Ouyang Xue, you look nothing like your mother, you are prettier than her." Ouyang Xue blushed, nodded and whispered: "I'm sorry.
Professor Xiao, it’s not that I deliberately concealed it, it was my mother who didn’t let me..." She felt very embarrassed, because Xiao Xiao found out whose daughter she was.
"What's there to hide?" Li Yong interrupted Ouyang Xue with a smile: "Your mother was an amazing girl in school back then. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also a very active literary and artistic person, which made me
What I remember most is the song "Evening on the Suburbs of Moscow" sung by your mother in Russian. It fascinated a lot of boys, it's Xiao Xiao."
"That's right, every time your student union holds a party, "Evenings in the Suburbs of Moscow" is the finale." Xiao Xiao seemed to have returned to his college days, his face filled with the glory of good memories.
"Liu Gen, Professor Xiao is back. As the student chairman, shouldn't you be the host and treat our Professor Xiao to a good meal?" Li Yong said with a smile.
"That's necessary." Liu Gen said, "Get in the car. The location is chosen by Professor Li." After saying that, he opened the rear door of the car and stood aside to ask Li Yong and Xiao Xiao to get in the car.
Xiao Xiao was not polite and bent down to get into the car, but Li Yong walked around from the back of the car to the other side and opened the door himself.
When Ouyang Xue started the car, Li Yong said: "Go to Nanhai Fishing Village." As expected of a former principal, all leaders know about the good places to eat and drink in Nanhai.
Liu Gen and Ouyang Xue didn't know the place.
"Professor Li, which way should we take?" Ouyang Xue asked.
"You go straight east on Shanghai Beach Avenue." Li Yong replied.
Liu Gen sat in the passenger seat, turned his head and asked Xiao Xiao: "Professor Xiao, how long will you stay in the South China Sea?"
"Three days." Xiao Xiao replied, and then patted the backrest of the co-pilot: "Liu Gen, it seems that you are indeed prosperous, and you have already driven a Mercedes-Benz." There was sarcasm in his tone.
"Liu Gen is now the chairman of Nanhai Pharmaceutical Group, sitting in the same chair that Li Gan used to hold." Li Yong also said jokingly.
"Haha... The interest on bank loans alone costs 20 to 30 million every year. If I were not the chairman, I would not be so poor. But now it is better. I owe more and more money. I am a truly poor boy. Others
I don’t know, but these two professors know me, Liu Gen, so don’t make fun of me.” Liu Gen is not being modest, nor is he deliberately pretending to be low-key. He is worried about the fact that Nanhai Pharmaceutical Group owes such a huge debt.
"Lao Xiao, Liu Gen is currently cooperating with the School of Pharmacy of our school to jointly develop anti-aging drugs. Don't listen to him crying about poverty. He is willing to spend a lot of money on R&D funds. As soon as he opens his mouth, hundreds of millions of funds are injected into R&D projects.
It is said that during the meeting on cooperation intentions, Liu Gen's generous gestures overwhelmed our Principal Qin." Li Yong's words seemed to be deliberately praising Liu Gen in front of Xiao Xiao.
"I have submitted books for so many years, but I have never seen a multi-tasking student become famous in the medical field." Xiao Xiao leaned back with disdain, implying that Liu Gen would not be able to do anything in the future.
He might be able to do something great in the medical field, but he seemed a little disappointed with this promising student.
"Old Xiao, you can't be so absolute." Li Yong laughed and said, "I thought the same thing as you before, but now I am convinced by Liu Gen's actions. I believe that this guy can not only do a good job in business
To make it big, I believe he will achieve achievements that will surpass you and me in the medical field in the future."
"Really?" Xiao Xiao squinted at Liu Gen, who turned sideways and smiled stupidly: "Then I have to remember what your little Li Feidao said today and see what tricks this kid can do."
Ouyang Xue glanced at Liu Gen with a smile, and saw that the scar on his left cheek had turned red, and knew that it was a sign of his blushing.
Liu Gen was indeed made uncomfortable by what Xiao Xiao and Li Yong said.
Ever since he decided to ask Xiao Xiao for help in getting Wen Hanmei a green card in the United States, he has been looking forward to seeing Xiao Xiao as soon as possible. Moreover, he has been keeping in touch with Xiao Subai on the phone recently, not using his mobile phone of course, but every day.
He went to a place far away from Xinyi Garden and called from a public phone. From Xiao Subai, he learned that Wen Hanmei had left a foreign phone number for Xiao Subai. Wen Hanmei's purpose was to ask Xiao Subai to tell Liu Gen the number.
But Liu Gen didn't let Xiao Subai tell him that he was just in case, and he didn't let Xiao Subai call Wen Hanmei unless it was absolutely necessary.
Now, Liu Gen needs to convince Xiao Xiao, and then ask Xiao Subai to contact Wen Hanmei and bring her safely to the United States.
How should I speak to Xiao Xiao?
Liu Gen believed that Xiao Xiao didn't know that he was using Xiao Subai to help Wen Hanmei.
If Xiao Xiao knew the truth, what would his reaction be? Would he stand up and report it? Or would he refuse to help Wen Hanmei.
Liu Gen was thinking at this moment: Xiao Xiao must be persuaded to agree to help Wen Hanmei within three days.
Nanhai Fishing Village Restaurant is a local specialty restaurant with a history of more than a hundred years. In the car, Li Yong made a phone call to reserve a private room.
For the first time, Liu Gen drank three glasses of white wine with Li Yong and Xiao Xiao.
At the dinner table, Liu Gen and Ouyang Xue talked very little. They mainly listened to Xiao Xiao talk about some basic knowledge about foreign universities. For Liu Gen, everything Xiao Xiao said was very fresh, which allowed him to draw a conclusion more intuitively:
The developed capitalist education system is very superior.
"Liu Gen, you should have told me when the school expelled you." Xiao Xiao and Li Yong were drinking happily and looked at Liu Gen with bright eyes: "You shouldn't wear military uniforms. I can definitely recommend you to my school."
I am studying at the university where I am, but you took the initiative to stretch out your hands and let the green skin tightly hold you. What a great opportunity, you just missed it like that!"
"It's my fault. I was also worried about Liu Gen's studies at the beginning. I didn't expect that what you said, Lao Xiao, would lead to this." Li Yong took the words and blamed himself.
"I think it was you, Li Feidao, who wanted to find a successor and deliberately called me to tell me after Liu Gen enlisted in the army." Xiao Xiao glanced at Li Yong with drunken eyes and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Haha... If you think so, I can't help it, but your words reminded me." Li Yong looked at Liu Gen and Ouyang Xue: "I do want to be Liu Gen's mentor. Of course, the premise is that this stubborn boy is willing.
"
"Liu Gen, did you hear that? Why don't you hurry up and become a disciple? If you can study under the famous Xiao Li Feidao as a graduate student, even if you are nothing in the future, holding the business card of Xiao Li Feidao's mentor will be enough for you to be prestigious outside.
That's it." Xiao Xiaoma said as if he was in trouble.
"Haha..." Liu Gen giggled happily: "This is what I dream of."
Liu Gen was too drunk, his face was red, and the scar looked like it was about to burst and bleed.
Although it was a joke at the wine table, Liu Gen took it seriously. He really wanted to study surgery with Li Yong, but when he thought that he was receiving special training with Yan Yu, he inevitably felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart.
, he has no idea what his future destiny will be, but he has no way to escape, he can only take one step at a time.
Because Ouyang Xue had to drive, she didn't drink. She drank freshly squeezed corn juice. She took the opportunity to say: "Professor Li, you can't be partial. My grades are no worse than Liu Gen. I should be counted among them."
"Haha... Look, Xiao Li Feidao, I have found two outstanding golden boys and girls as your successors." Xiao Xiao raised his glass: "Liu Gen, Ouyang Xue, why don't you propose a toast to your future mentors.
"
Li Yong raised his glass and said: "It seems that if I don't agree, Lao Xiao, you will never end this matter with me. However, Liu Gen, Ouyang Xue, it's too early to talk about this now. You two are only in your sophomore year and are graduate students."
I won’t guide you. I’ll wait until you get your master’s degree and want to study for a doctoral degree.”
Liu Gen and Ouyang Xue smiled at each other and said almost simultaneously: "Thank you, Professor Li." They stood up and clinked glasses with Xiao Xiao and Li Yong.
After sitting down, Xiao Xiao asked: "Liu Gen, do you know the whereabouts of Teacher Mei Yingchun?"
"Teacher Mei..." Liu Gen's heart was pounding: "Why did Professor Xiao ask about Teacher Mei?"
"That's right, Chen Yongsheng came to the United States last month and met with me." Xiao Xiao said while eating vegetables: "He asked about Mei Yingchun and told me that he wanted to remarry teacher Mei Yingchun and wanted me to do this.
I came back this time to help him inquire about Mei Yingchun's whereabouts. I think since she gave the house to you, you should know where she is."
Li Yong frowned: "Chen Yongsheng wants to remarry Mei Yingchun? Huh... This is just wishful thinking. If he had known about this, why bother in the first place!"
Liu Gen coughed lightly: "I also want to find Teacher Mei." After saying that, he glanced at Ouyang Xue.
Ouyang Xue still didn't know that Liu Gen had met Mei Yingchun in Shenzhen, let alone that he funded Mei Yingchun to open a clothing company.
"Chen Yongsheng is now a completely different person. He no longer has the arrogance he once had. When he mentioned Mei Yingchun to me, he burst into tears and told me about his inner suffering. I heard that he did a great job in the foreign aid medical team.
Not bad." Xiao Xiao's words were meant for Li Yong.
"Don't be fooled by his false pretenses. Mei Yingchun is young and she has reached this point. I am also responsible. I should not have introduced that beast Chen Yongsheng to her!" Li Yong finished speaking angrily and drank the cup in one gulp.
After drinking the wine, she placed the cup on the table with a bang, as if she was still blaming herself for Mei Yingchun's unfortunate marriage.
