Tang Banxia was very surprised.

Didn't she already refuse?

Bai Qingfeng nodded: "Mr. Meng said that the letter was not clear, and asked to meet with you to discuss it in detail."

"You have to speak in person to show your sincerity when it comes to pros and cons."

Tang Banxia was a little moved.

Given Mr. Meng's status, she would not refuse the invitation if there was no zombie virus.

But she didn't struggle with it for too long. As long as she was determined, there would be no problem.

"Okay, when?"

"tomorrow."

"no problem."

The day flies by.

Tang Banxia didn't want Bai Qingfeng to accompany him. He asked him for the address and asked Comrade Xiaoniu to take him to Mr. Meng's residence.

It was a very ordinary courtyard, so ordinary that moss in the corners of the walls was visible to the naked eye.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

"Please come in."

Tang Banxia signaled the vigilant Comrade Xiaoniu to wait outside, and he entered the small courtyard alone.

There was only one old man in the courtyard. He was wearing an ordinary black jacket and white sweatshirt, and his beard was braided into a small braid.

Sitting behind the chessboard, with the aroma of tea wafting at your fingertips, just looking at it can calm your restless mind.

Tang Banxia knew that this was the person she was looking for: "Mr. Meng."

"My dear, you are here. Please take a seat. How about playing a game of hands?"

Tang Banxia:? ? ?

She looked at the chess on the table and said honestly, "I'm not very good at it."

All the knowledge she had came from her grandfather's influence, and she only had a superficial understanding of it.

"It doesn't matter, win or lose, just calm down."

OK.

Old people all like to play chess, so today she risked her life to accompany the gentleman.

She sat down opposite the old man.

Meng Yuli made a gesture of invitation: "Young friend, go first."

Tang Banxia was not polite and she fired the first shot.

Then I saw Mr. Meng raised his eyebrows and marched.

The two of them fought back and forth, and soon, Tang Banxia was the only one left.

There was a snap.

Tang Banxia’s general was also gone.

Totally lost.

The game lasted only fifteen minutes from the beginning to now, and Tang Banxia was completely defeated.

However, she looked at the old man in surprise.

The old man looks calm on the outside, but his chess skills are decisive and ruthless, which is completely different from his appearance.

When playing chess, he would sacrifice his cannon to lure her knight, and would use the one-for-one method to die together.

She thought she understood what Mr. Meng meant by what he said first.

The way you play chess reflects your character.

"Mr. Meng, it is the junior who lost."

Mr. Meng smiled at her and put the chess pieces back on the chessboard one by one: "My friend, your chess moves are tricky."

Just like Tang Banxia, ​​he hits people here and there without any pattern, but he can achieve unexpected results.

He was able to win because of his experience and age. If Tang Banxia was the same age as him, he would not have won the game so easily.

After a game of chess, the two had a general understanding of each other.

Tang Banxia's heart also calmed down.

"Try the tea I brew. It's not something expensive. It's just wild tea from the mountains. It has a unique flavor."

Tang Banxia took it with both hands and took a sip: "Good tea."

After the bitterness comes a lingering sweetness.

“It tastes very bitter at first, but the sweetness lasts long.”

Tang Banxia listened with a smile.

Mr. Meng changed the subject and said, "Just like life, first bitter then sweet or first sweet then bitter, it's just a choice."

Tang Banxia took another sip of tea: "But old sir, this is the life of a country. It needs to be in the hands of every person in this country, not in your hands or mine."

Besides, what is bitter first may not lead to sweetness later, but what is sweet first is sweet.

"I have made my point very clear. It is precisely because I have seen how terrifying that thing is and I know its power, that I always suggest not letting it see the light of day again, at least not now."

Because if this thing were known by the great powers, they would definitely want a piece of the pie.

"What you said is very insightful." Meng Yuli first praised Tang Banxia's point of view.

“The fate of the country is not in the hands of you and me, but in the hands of millions of people like you and me. It also requires the efforts of millions of individuals to make our country better.”

"What you just thought was all out of political considerations and out of concern for the harm of that thing. But have you ever thought that crises are often accompanied by opportunities?"

"Let alone other things, just from the doctor's perspective, this is a project that is worth studying."

"Have you ever thought about this, young friend? It may be difficult to break through the genetic limit, but in the process of our research, we will gain various benefits, which will also bring benefits to the country. These are enough to offset the hidden dangers."

He believes that the benefits of this research outweigh the disadvantages a thousand times.

This is not wrong, Tang Banxia can agree: "But Mr. Meng, we should first consider not the benefits that will be brought about in the future, that is a matter for the future."

"Have you ever thought about what kind of disaster would befall the country if even a tiny bit of this matter were leaked?"

"As you said, this is a very tempting research, but it is also a dangerous one. People's minds are fickle. Can you guarantee that everyone will keep their mouths shut and not have any bad intentions?"

"I can!"

These two powerful words made Tang Banxia look up in surprise.

I only saw Mr. Meng smile faintly and repeat again: "I can, I can guarantee it."

Tang Banxia: "People's hearts are complicated."

Mr. Meng interrupted her: "This research is only between you and me, no one else will know about it."

"what?"

Mr. Meng saw that she finally looked like she should at her age, and his beard trembled with joy: "Your concerns are reasonable, so this research will be done by just you and me."

"I heard that you have a separate laboratory, but there are too many people in the research institute. I wonder if you are interested in coming to my place?"

Tang Banxia:? ? ?

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved, but she had seen zombie movies in the future and had come into contact with this virus face to face, so she understood how terrible it was. So when her worry was greater than her excitement, it was her choice.

But Mr. Meng gave her a second way. With only two people doing the research, safety could definitely be guaranteed.

Then, if she agreed, "May I ask, Mr. Meng, is the laboratory you mentioned your private one or does it belong to the state?"

Meng Yuli understood Tang Banxia's worries at a glance.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, my friend. The laboratory is still under preparation. If you agree, the organization will start building it."

"However, it cannot belong to the country on the surface."

Tang Banxia understood: "That means secret research."

If something happens in the future, it will have nothing to do with the country.

"Are you coming, little friend?"

Tang Banxia thought for a moment and asked another question: "Can I still be listed in the research institute?"

"Of course, there is no contradiction." Mr. Meng agreed readily.

"Okay, I'll join."

"Young friend, do you want to reconsider it?"

"What is there to consider? You, Mr. Meng, also said that this is a temptation that any doctor cannot refuse, right?"

Meng Yuli smiled: "Of course."

In fact, there were more than one person on his shortlist, but in the end, only Tang Banxia was chosen.

Tang Banxia's talent in medicine is top-notch, but there are people who have the same talent as her.

Tang Banxia was chosen because of her loyalty and selflessness to the country.

Also because she was the first person to come into contact, but she handled it very well.

"Well, Tang Banxia, ​​I'll give you more guidance in the future."

"Mr. Meng, please give me more advice."

The old and the young held hands and smiled at each other.

The most important goal was achieved. Elder Meng went into the house and made a phone call: "Wait a moment, my friend. Now that we are here, let's discuss the following matters."

"I have my wish, and I dare not say goodbye."
