The years of red flags

"It's too far to go to the Indian Ocean to buy goods, boss."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "If we are discovered, then we can distance ourselves from it. This is a tenacious starfish that traveled thousands of miles to settle in Okinotorishima by boarding on an ocean-going cargo ship owned by San. In the end, it has nothing to do with us."

"That's too deliberate." Dr. Jiang shook his head. "There's one in the Western Pacific. Why go so far? It sounds more reasonable that a starfish from the Western Pacific drifted here with the wind and waves."

"That seems more reasonable. Then I'll ask our coastal fishermen to help?"

Dr. Jiang stopped Jiang Hua and said, "Boss, it's best to sneak into the village and shoot. We should do it ourselves and don't let others know."

"How to do?"

Dr. Jiang smiled and said, "Next month, we have a research vessel that will conduct research in the western Pacific Ocean. All the people there are from our institute. I will quietly do this for you. Just wait for my good news."

"Are you sure you can do it?"

Dr. Jiang nodded: "Don't worry, I have a handle on this matter. I guarantee that I can handle it properly for you."

"When the time comes, shoot a video and I'll give you a bonus." Jiang Hua promised him a huge reward: "In addition, I'll personally sponsor you 10 million yuan for your research project."

"Okay, boss, I will make sure this thing is done beautifully for you." Dr. Jiang said happily, "Not only can I relieve my anger, but I can also get research funds. Boss, there will be more good things like this in the future, please think of me more."

"Think of something good. Good things like this only come once in a thousand years."

The director of the research institute was very puzzled. Jiang Hua handed him a check for 10 million yuan and asked him to add it to Dr. Jiang's research funds. Dr. Jiang's research funds this year were sufficient, so why did the boss have to pay out of his own pocket? Was there some conspiracy involved? But the boss didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask. This was the difference between him and Zheng Tong.

Jiang Hua personally saw off the institute's research vessel. A group of oceanographers, geologists, meteorologists, and biologists sang and danced, waved to Jiang Hua, and headed towards the sea.

Zheng Tong also came with Jiang Hua. He was mainly bored at home because he wanted to move around.

"What a pity! Why don't they want to take me with them?" Zheng Tong asked in confusion: "I want to have some fun too."

"We are afraid of capsizing." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "We are afraid that you are too rough. The water in Honghu Lake is full of waves. What if the waves are too big and the research vessel is capsized?"

Zheng Tong asked curiously, "You and one of the researchers were flirting with each other just now. What does that mean?"

"It's nothing special. I just asked him to help me with something."

Zheng Tong smiled and said, "What's the matter? With your eyebrows all over your face, I would have thought that you two were separated forever."

"Ask him to bring a starfish from the western Pacific Ocean to Okinotorishima." Jiang Hua said happily, "I feel happy when I think that the starfish will have a new home. I'm sure the little Japanese will be just as happy."

"No, this matter is definitely not that simple. Tell the truth."

Jiang Hua shook his head: "If you want to know, it's very simple, just wait and watch the news, then you will know."

"You don't want to talk about it, and now you've learned to hide things." Zheng Tong said sarcastically: "In my opinion, you have no good intentions. I'm waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."

"It's definitely going to make a fool of oneself, but it's not certain who will make the fool of oneself." Zheng Tong smiled and said, "I've been feeling really bored lately. My life has been too dull. I want to find some excitement."

"How about I take you dancing, as long as your heart can bear it."

Zheng Tong waved his hand: "What's the point of being so frivolous all day? Why don't you do something meaningful?"

Jiang Hua thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it is. The World Expo will open soon. Why don't we go there in advance?"

"I forgot about this." Zheng Tong smiled and nodded: "The World Expo, this is much bigger than the Red Detachment of Women we saw back then."

"Isn't that nonsense?" Jiang Hua said with a smile, "I have asked someone to get several sets of tickets, including everyone in your family."

"It's just the two of us, and my son has to go to work."

"That's such a shame. It's the first time that a World Expo is held in our country."

Zheng Tong shook his head: "It's okay, it's not a pity, this guy has already shown off to me, and he will go for the interview when the time comes."

"I had forgotten that your son has joined CCTV as a reporter." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "When the time comes, I will approach him and ask him to interview me. I will do my best to make things difficult for him."

Zheng Tong said nonchalantly: "Just make things difficult for him. If he lets you make things difficult for him, then it means he is not very skilled."

"I don't know what your son is thinking. He graduated early with a master's degree in sociology and Chinese linguistics, but he became a reporter." Jiang Hua shook his head: "He should be like you, sitting in the study and studying. He will be a great man in the future, and your family will be known as a scholarly family."

"Sociology can only be done in society. What kind of knowledge can be achieved in a study?" Zheng Tong shook his head in disdain. "Look, some experts nowadays open their mouths. I want to kick them. What nonsense are they talking about? Is it human? They are divorced from reality and the masses. It's just that I have cultivated my character in the past two years and I don't want to curse anymore."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "You should scold them if you need to. If you don't, these people will be ignorant. You need to let them know that there are always people better than you. Don't think you can brag just because you have some knowledge. They are just bragging about their knowledge. They are just trying to defraud people."

Zheng Tong nodded: "I'll listen to you. I've had enough of a peaceful life. I need something exciting. After the World Expo is over, I will take the pen in your hand and name them one by one and give them a good scolding."

Jiang Hua clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting to read your masterpiece when the time comes."

"Let's go to the Magic City early, so you have to solve the accommodation problem for me. I'm not willing to stay in a regular hotel, it's so noisy."

Jiang Hua patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this. I bought an old house in Shanghai and gave it to Qiuyun. She doesn't live there much, so we can stay here for a while. Qiuyun won't say anything."

"You have an old house in Shanghai?" Zheng Tong said with a smile, "I'm used to the courtyard houses, so I want to experience what it's like to live in an old house. I remember watching TV dramas about the bustling foreign lands. I want to live the life of an adventurer."

"Get lost." Jiang Hua scolded with a smile, "With your arms and legs, you still call yourself an adventurer. Don't get yourself into trouble."

"That's all there is to it." Zheng Tong laughed, "I just want to have some fun."
