Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Originally, Lou Xiao'e wanted to tell her husband about Li Tianyi. After all, it was all about connections. If it was true as her father said, Li Tianyi had such great influence in China, and now that the mainland is reforming and opening up, many companies in Hong Kong are watching. The mainland is a big market, and having connections in the mainland will be of great help to the development of companies in the mainland.

But seeing her husband in such a miserable state, Lou Xiao'e swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. He looked so tired, maybe he was squeezed dry by that little witch and ended up in such a miserable state when he returned home.

So the couple took a shower and went to bed.

The next morning, Li Tianyi joined a large group to attend the opening ceremony of the science and technology exhibition. First, the organizer gave a speech, followed by speeches by various leaders, and then the situation of each exhibition hall was introduced.

Li Tianyi had no interest in the leaders' speeches. Just like that, the morning passed. Lunch was provided by the exhibition, which was just an ordinary boxed lunch. After lunch, the team leader told Li Tianyi and his team that they could do whatever they wanted in the afternoon and visit various exhibition halls.

Li Tianyi was waiting for this moment. He was very curious about the technological situation abroad. Although some foreign situations would be reported in domestic internal reference newspapers, due to Li Tianyi's level, the internal reference newspapers would be delivered to his desk every day.

But many things cannot be written on it. Li Tianyi and a team of people walked around the exhibition hall, and this time he was really enlightened.

Some household appliances commonly used by Chinese people in later generations are now well-known abroad, and may even have appeared earlier. Some things that appear in science fiction novels and movies can also be seen in their prototype form at this exhibition.

The concept of artificial intelligence has been proposed a long time ago, but there has been no breakthrough development abroad in recent years. This time, the United States exhibited an artificial intelligence robot. In fact, it cannot be called an artificial intelligence robot, it can only be regarded as semi-artificial intelligence, and it has not fully realized artificial intelligence.

But this also opened Li Tianyi's eyes. While his own country was still worrying about survival, some foreign countries were already thinking about changing the world.

There has always been a slogan in the country to catch up with Country M and Country E. Perhaps this is really the good wish of the domestic people. In fact, the technology of Xinhua Country and Country M is still far behind.

Take the examination equipment in hospitals in later generations for example. All the examination equipment in hospitals are imported. The scientific and technological research and development and core technologies are in the hands of foreigners. The famous domestic physicists are useless in the research and development of these equipment and have made no contribution at all.

These people are just a bunch of hooligans in China, but who knows who they are when they go abroad?

Li Tianyi didn’t know whether this situation was also happening in his country today, but he was powerless to change anything.

The more he wandered around the exhibition halls, the heavier Li Tianyi's heart became. The gap between his own country and foreign countries was too big, and it was not possible to catch up just by wanting to.

If this country still does not respect talents and only focuses on social skills, the loss of talent will not change.

Even the country cannot produce a top world-class scientist to compare with those abroad. It's not that Li Tianyi is negative, this is the reality.

At the end of the day, he was called to a meeting before he had even had his meal. At the meeting, Li Tianyi was silent as usual. He listened to the bold words and various resolutions of the experts present at the meeting. Li Tianyi felt sick.

Maybe Li Tianyi didn't manage his expression well, he showed disgust several times at the meeting, which made the elder look at him several times.

After the meeting, Li Tianyi went directly to the restaurant. He was so hungry and after listening to so much nonsense, he just wanted to have a good meal.

After eating the fried dishes and rice, Li Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally alive. With something to fill his stomach, Li Tianyi chose some of his favorite food and began to taste it slowly.

After dinner, Li Tianyi returned to his room. Just after taking a shower, he heard a knock on the door. Li Tianyi opened the door and saw that it was the secretary who had been following the elder. Li Tianyi was very puzzled. Why did he come to see him?

Seeing Li Tianyi's confusion, the secretary didn't waste any words and said directly that the leader wanted to meet Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi didn't think much about it. He asked his secretary to wait while he went to change his clothes.

Afterwards, he followed the secretary to a room where the elder was already waiting. After Li Tianyi entered, he saluted quickly. The elder waved his hand and asked Li Tianyi to sit down.

For the next hour, the two of them kept talking in the room. The elder was curious about his performance at the meeting. Li Tianyi told the elder about his experiences and feelings today, and then pointed out the current situation in the domestic scientific research community, where seniority is the basis for promotion, juniors are suppressed, everything is related to bureaucracy, there is no clean scientific research environment, and so on.

The elder frowned after hearing this. He could hear Li Tianyi's dissatisfaction with the country. This was a senior officer in the army. If it were those low-level scientific researchers, they would be so helpless in such an environment.

Afterwards, Li Tianyi made a few more suggestions. Anyway, whether to listen or not is the country's business, and whether to speak or not is up to oneself.

Li Tianyi came out of the room, feeling comfortable both physically and mentally. He spoke out everything that was in his mind, even vaguely expressing his desire to immigrate.

This had to make the elders take this matter seriously. He naturally knew what kind of person Li Tianyi was. If they could force this man to leave, then they really needed to reorganize the situation.

Li Tianyi felt comfortable and had a good night's sleep, but he didn't know how many people couldn't sleep that night because of his words.

The next morning, the same process as yesterday was followed, and Li Tianyi went to visit an exhibition hall he had never visited before. This time, Li Tianyi had no other ideas in his mind. He just wondered if he could go and learn some skills by stealing someone's skills.

This was also the purpose of his superiors sending him here. Li Tianyi spent another day in the exhibition hall and collected a lot of information. He needed to study these materials carefully after returning to see if he could extract some key information.

Five days passed like this and the exhibition was in its last day. Li Tianyi had seen everything he needed to see and finally had an idea of ​​what was going on.

Because it was the last day, the team did not force them to go to the exhibition hall, so Li Tianyi took a break. He wanted to go shopping in the mall today and buy some gifts for his family.

But as soon as he went downstairs, he was stopped by Lou Xiao'e who was sitting in the hall. Lou Xiao'e came here early this morning to wait for Li Tianyi.

Seeing this, Li Tianyi had to cancel his plan and went to the coffee shop outside with Lou Xiaoe.

The reason Lou Xiao'e came this time was to tell Li Tianyi that the food issue had been resolved and the money had been transferred to Li Tianyi's HSBC bank account, a total of 38 Hong Kong dollars.
