Back To The Age Of The '80s

Early in the morning of the second day after the celebration, David received a call from Roche's headquarters in Switzerland.

"Hello, is this David Andorio?" A weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

"it's me."

"Oh! God! I finally connected to your call! This Huaguo call is really amazing. I have been calling all afternoon, from work to now. The first one answered was an old man, I thought I made a wrong call. Then I called again, and was scolded by him. Later, I found out that Huaguo’s call needed a post office transfer, and there was a lady with a strange accent behind me. We invited almost everyone Roche's Chinese employees successfully contacted you. This is really a magical experience." The person on the other end of the phone seemed very excited.

David let out a good laugh, expressing his delight at his colleague's experience.How do you think the dark circles on David's face came from? Last night, he was fighting wits with the grandparents in the Huaguo telephone transfer station.It was so comforting to hear that someone else had the same experience as him.

"I solemnly inform you, Mr. Andorio. President Robert invited you to report back to Switzerland and talk about the practical skills you discovered."

So David rejected the suggestion of the Ministry of Health and Haidong Province to hold a grand signing ceremony, and flew back to Xiangjiang directly in the morning.

When David left, he was full of smiles and high spirits. He also specially left his residence and phone number in Xiangjiang for Li Zheng, and repeatedly promised that as soon as the patent documents came out, they would be delivered to Li Zheng as soon as possible. superior.

As for the preparation of the pharmaceutical factory, David said that he would specially hire a manager as the person in charge of Yangproline Pharmaceutical Factory, and he would be responsible for all matters.

This decision caught many people off guard.Before the reform and opening up, there were only state-owned enterprises on the land of Huaguo, and the relationship between government and enterprises was intertwined and complicated. It was normal for administrative leaders to intervene in enterprises.Even sometimes, the number of employees in new factories is distributed among officials as benefits.

These people take it for granted that the same is true for foreigners building factories.As soon as the news that Roche was going to invest and build a factory in Yantian County came out, many well-informed people broke their legs and ran up and down, waiting for the new factory to be completed and stuffing relatives and friends into it.

Now they are actually told that the new factory is completely in charge of an unfamiliar manager, and they have no way of intervening. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for these people!

Especially Wang Aijuan, she became an ant on a hot pot.She knew about her son being expelled from school, but just like Yang Kaijian, she felt that going to a foreigner's factory was more promising than going to school.However, foreign factory workers are recruited uniformly by so-called managers, and require a high school education

As soon as the condition came out, Wang Aijuan couldn't bring it up in one breath, and almost passed out.She really didn't know how to explain to Yang Sheng.

After the foreign friend incident, Li Zheng became famous in Qinghe Town. When the townspeople mentioned Li Zheng, they said, "Li's baby is promising, he can speak foreign languages, and he can make friends with foreigners. What about Houtan?" It was Li Zheng who persuaded his foreign friends to build the pharmaceutical factory!" He looked very proud.

Zhou Sitian wondered why her younger brother could speak foreign languages ​​all of a sudden, but when Li Zheng brought out two boxes of foreign language books from under the bed, she fell silent.

The two boxes of foreign books were left by Li's mother. Li's mother was a college student who had studied in France before, but encountered political turmoil shortly after returning home.

In any case, it is extremely disgraceful to leave the child and husband and run away.Zhou Sitian hates her for abandoning herself and Li's father, so she extremely rejects everything about Li's mother.So when Li Zheng moved out the two boxes of books, she just glanced at them and walked out quickly.

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhou Sitian didn't know the specific content of these foreign documents left by Li's mother, and some of his own changes in the future could be pushed to these books.

Li Zheng put the books back under the bed, and when he pushed the box in, a stack of books inside the box suddenly fell down.Li Zheng sighed, resigned himself to squatting down to pick up the book, and a black leather-bound notebook appeared in front of him.

The black notebook is very delicate, with fancy English on the leather surface, it should be something from abroad.Li Zheng hesitated, sat down cross-legged, and opened his notebook.

This is Li's mother's diary, written in English and French, recording her mental journey from being sent down to fleeing from Li's house.

Mother Li was born in a wealthy family.His father was a high-level executive in the Huaguo Iron Industry, and his mother was a lecturer at Huajing University. The political turmoil in [-] changed this happy family all of a sudden. His mother couldn't stand the humiliation and jumped off the building of Huajing University, dying. Fragrance disappears.And Li's mother and his father were sent to Qinghe Town together.

The father and daughter are drying fish in the fishing ground during the day, and only have a simple house to keep out the cold at night, living a very poor life.And because of being sent down, the townspeople in Qinghe Town were very unfriendly to him.

One day, it rained suddenly during the day, and Mother Li's father, Zhao Guanghua, was exposed to the rain in order to take back the dried fish that was drying in the sun. He developed a high fever that night.Li's mother was so anxious that she went to the town health center overnight to get medicine. On the way to get medicine this time, she met Zhou Sitian's father, Zhou Deqing, an unemployed vagrant.

The dark night, the heavy rain, the beautiful woman who braved the rain, and the young man in full swing, a tragedy happened like this.

Zhou Deqing thought that Li's mother was a woman, and she was a woman with political mistakes behind her back. She would only swallow the pain, but she didn't think that Li's mother received a Western education, and even joined a feminist club during college.

Mother Li stood up, and the whole town was in an uproar.Zhou Deqing was taken away, but at the same time, life for Li's mother, father and daughter became even more difficult.

Reality smoothed the edges and corners of Li's mother, and she finally understood that blind idealism would only make her and her father's life more difficult, so she saw Li's father.A thoughtful and cultured woman who has experienced the influence of French romanticism is almost fatal to men, even if she has a daughter born by mistake.

Li Zheng showed a complicated look on his face. He could understand but disagreed with Mother Li's behavior, and put the notebook back in the box.

"You never know what you have lost. He left with resentment towards you." Li Zheng said softly, and slowly closed the box.

"Sister, I'm going to the post office."

"Okay, come back before lunch!"

After the incident at the guest house, Li Zheng finally realized that he was no longer the former Cold Spring Harbor researcher, honorary professor of Huaqing University, and head of the National Drug Research Laboratory Li Zheng.He is now a young fisherman, a young fisherman whose father disappeared and his mother ran away, leaving only his sister to depend on each other.

God let him be reborn in this life, so he must cherish it.Therefore, Li Zheng intends to send out the paper in his hand, forgetting about "Science" and "Nature". His thesis of an unknown high school student may not even be eligible to submit for the first review.

For a journal with a decent impact factor and a low threshold, Li Zheng thought about it and finally came up with "Microbology", which is a biological journal with a very American flavor. It was jointly founded by several Ivy League universities in the United States. Most importantly, he It is the journal that implements the blind review system best. As long as your paper passes the review of three approved reviewers, it can be published in the journal without exception.

"Microbes" has made many jokes because of this, but at the same time it is the place where geniuses are most likely to emerge.

Li Zheng walked through several alleys and walked to the gate of the post office.

In the post office, several aunts were eating melon seeds and chatting loudly.

"Do you know that Zhou Deqing has come out?"

"Zhou Deqing? Who is Zhou Deqing?"

"Isn't it the strong female culprit, Li Qiang's wife, who came out last week. My cousin saw him when he went to Yantian County. He even asked my cousin about his daughter."

"His daughter? Zhou Sitian? Will he come to her?"

"Old Zhou's family has no one left. He came out alone, and there is only such a daughter. Why don't you come?"

Li Zheng couldn't listen to what those aunts said behind him, so he turned around and ran home.Zhou Sitian, sister, you must be fine!

Li Zheng ran into the house out of breath, and almost tripped over the threshold when he entered the door because his legs were weak.Zhou Sitian came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice cakes, her cheeks were covered with black ash from baking rice cakes.

"Why are you running? I'll save the rice cakes for you." She looked at Li Zheng with a funny face.

Li Zheng looked Zhou Sitian up and down, seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, he relaxed and sat down at the table.

"It's nothing, I'm afraid you will steal my share."

Zhou Sitian rolled her eyes, her younger brother is becoming more and more uncute.

"Didn't you send the letter? Why didn't you send it?"

Li Zheng glanced at the crumpled envelope in his hand, curled his lips, "Suddenly I don't want to send it anymore, let's try another day."

**********

On the other hand, Xiaohe was fired by the guest house because the guest house framed Li Zheng for stealing things.No unit in Qinghe Town would dare to use someone like him who lied in front of the governor and was registered.

The girlfriend who had been talking for a long time also fell through because of this matter, Xiao He was waiting at the door of Yang Kaijian's house, he wanted to ask for an explanation for himself!He only listened to Wang Chengcai and Yang Kaijian's words, so he would slander Li Zheng for stealing things.

It's not that he didn't want to go to Wang Chengcai, Wang Chengcai's family was in Yantian County, and he lived in the county government courtyard, so he couldn't get in at all.Yang Kaijian is different, his family is not far from Xiao He's family, and the Yang family is richer than the Wang family.

Xiao He has already made a plan, ask Yang Kaijian for a sum of money, and then go into business!
