Back To The Age Of The '80s

"An invitation card from the Governor's Mansion?" Li Zheng took the black envelope Zheng Lingling handed over, turned it over and saw the personal seal of the Governor of Hong Kong on the seal.

"It was delivered this morning."

this morning?In other words, when he was still on the plane, the invitation had already been sent to Li Zheng's laboratory.

Li Zheng opened the envelope.

"Sincerely invite Mr. Li Zheng to have a wonderful afternoon tea time at No. [-] Mid-Levels." Signed by Edward Wharton and his wife.

Li Zheng frowned slightly, because of the Huaguo garrison incident in May, the conflict between Huaying and Britain on the Xiangjiang issue has been brought to the fore, and his recent international appearances are all Chinese creatures The title of scholar, the Governor of Hong Kong invited him to the official residence for afternoon tea at this time. If it was said that it was a whim, he would not believe it.

Li Zheng looked at the watch on his wrist, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and if he wanted to make an appointment, he should leave.

Liang Zhe took a step forward and walked to his side.

"I'll go with you." He said softly.

Li Zheng shook his head, "It's better for you not to come forward about this matter."

The Liang family is a local rich family in Xiangjiang. In this kind of struggle involving politics, they remain neutral and do not take sides. After that, no matter which side rules Xiangjiang, it will mainly focus on wooing and appeasing.

But if it is accidentally involved in the struggle between the two parties, it will not be so easy to get out.Li Zhengming knew that Britain would be the loser of this game, so he naturally did not want Liang Zhe to have too much contact with the Governor of Hong Kong at this time.

Liang Zhe frowned slightly.

Li Zheng was dumbfounded. He shook Liang Zhe's hand and said softly to him, "Don't worry, it's just an afternoon tea." In this kind of struggle involving politics, his identity as a scholar is a natural protective film .

Not to mention that after the Doman incident, if the UK wants to move him, it probably needs to hold a large meeting to discuss it.

"Mr. Li Zheng, please come inside. Mr. Edward is already waiting inside." The guiding waiter said softly.

Li Zheng nodded, followed the waiter in white and walked inside.

The view of Banshan No. [-] is very good, and you can see the winding Xiangjiang River from the terrace on the second floor.Edward was sitting by the small round table on the second floor terrace, and when he saw Li Zheng approaching, a big smile appeared on his face.

"Li, long time no see." He stepped forward and gave Li Zheng a hug.

The two sat down at the white round table, and the waiter filled Li Zheng with water.

"This is the little cookie baked by Jenny. It tastes very good." Jenny White, the wife of the Governor of Hong Kong.

Li Zheng picked up the biscuit and took a bite, "It's really delicious."

The two talked about British food culture from small biscuits, from the Xiangjiang River to the Nasai River, and when the tea cup was cold and the waiter came to change it, the governor finally couldn't bear to get to the topic.

"Mr. Li Zheng is amazing. Baminoxatin, carbapenem antibiotics, in vitro regenerative organs, and the recent Doke disease drug, all of them are earth-shattering." The governor said with a smile .

"Mr. Edward has won the award. For a biopharmaceutical scientist, drug development is just a daily job. It's just that I am relatively young, so it caused a lot of noise." Li Zheng took a sip of his tea and said with a smile.

"Hey, I can't say that. Many biologists can't develop a drug in their entire lives. What's more, it has only been two years since Mr. Li Zheng officially embarked on the road of biopharmaceuticals, and he has made so many achievements in two years. , is a rare high yield." Sir Edward changed from his usual kind demeanor, and his blue eyes were full of sharpness.

Li Zheng held the teacup slightly harder. When he first announced the molecular formula of "Bampamine Saladin" at the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference, he already thought that his affairs in the small fishing village would definitely be dug out. But he didn't expect that the person who mentioned this matter to him for the first time would be Hong Kong Governor Edward.

"We Hua people have an old saying, thick accumulation and thin hair, a dancer on the stage, except himself, no one knows how much time he spent on the stage for just a few minutes." Li Zheng smiled and said Edward Wharton looked at each other without a trace of avoidance in their eyes.

Sir Edward chuckled, "You are such an amazing biologist. I read yesterday's London Daily, which praised you for having a golden version of the brain, and called your experience in Dorman a great legend. Dorman's The leaders of the government and the opposition have held peace talks in Doman City, and you have changed this country full of war and disease."

Yes, after the press conference that day, the peace talks between the Doman government and the opposition officially started, announcing that the nearly 30-year war in Doman is expected to end and the dawn of peace is coming.

Those with a discerning eye in the mixed political world can see at a glance that the emergence of Doke's disease medicine is not the main reason for bringing peace.

Doman's government and the opposition are in the armed forces. The Doman government has the upper hand, but it is only an advantage. If the war between the two breaks out in an all-round way, even if the government forces can successfully eliminate the opposition forces, they will have to pay a heavy price. the price.

The price may be that there is no armed force, and the government completely loses its rule over Doman.This is unacceptable to the government, so neither side wants an all-out war.

However, on both sides, Mr. President has a gentle personality and lacks decisiveness, while Mr. Monchi is too tough and domineering, and he refuses to bow his head at all.Before the drug launch, the two parties did not have the opportunity to sit down and talk at all.

Li Zheng's meeting was just in time.

However, apart from politicians and military commentators, who is willing to delve into the reasons why a small country embarked on the road of peace.A young biologist turns the tide and brings peace to a war-torn country.

What a beautiful, legendary and educational story.Even the education departments of some African countries stated that they will write Li Zheng's deeds into textbooks, so as to educate the country's future generation of the greatness of scientific power.

The name Li Zheng already has an influence or prestige that cannot be underestimated in Africa and the world.

"Turning the tide? Mr. Edward, you know that the power of science is great, but it is by no means enough to fill the gully of human desire." Li Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said.

Edward Wharton laughed, "I really think you would be an excellent politician if you hadn't taken the path of biopharmaceuticals."

Li Zheng was slightly taken aback, "I don't think this is a compliment at all."

Edward Wharton was dumbfounded. He blew on the tea foam on the surface of the cup, and looked at Li Zheng with a smile on his face, "What does Mr. Li Zheng think of Xiangjiang?"

Li Zheng knew that the main event was coming.

"Free, open, and inclusive." Li Zheng continued after a slight pause, "The most important thing is that everyone comes from the same line. I am very friendly with my living habits and cultural background. Do you want me to continue?" He looked at the governor with a half-smile.

Edward showed a helpless look on his face, "It's really hard for me to believe that you are a biologist immersed in science. Talking to you is similar to talking to my colleagues."

"Although you said so, I still have to ask, this is a political mission." Edward shrugged helplessly, and then his face became serious.

"Mr. Li Zheng, I, Edward Wharton, represent the British government and the Xiangjiang government to formally invite you to join the Xiangjiang household registration. We will provide you with benefits and subsidies with the highest standards for talent introduction, and the British and Xiangjiang governments will fully support your research. Maybe you have other conditions, we can talk about them."

Li Zheng's expression also became serious.

"I am very honored to be invited by the British government, but I am very sorry. I was born in Huaguo, and I also received Huaguo education. Everything I have is given by Huaguo, and everything I have must be returned to Huaguo."

There was a brief silence between the two.

Soon, a smile appeared on Edward's face again. Of course, there was a little helplessness in this smile.

"I knew it was useless. I understand you. You love China, just like I love Great Britain."

"It is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

"Well, you're right. Northern Ireland is an inseparable part of the British Empire." Edward nuzzled, he thought for a while and continued, "Don't worry, your life and research in Xiangjiang will not be affected by our conversation today. Any changes. As you said, whether it is the UK or Xiangjiang, they are free, open and inclusive."

Hearing this, Li Zheng couldn't help but smile more genuinely on his face, "Thank you very much." He really can't leave Xiangjiang in the near future, and Li Zheng's laboratory has just entered the right track.

Further research on in vitro regeneration technology and Doke's disease antibody needs to be carried out in Li Zheng's laboratory.

"Oh, you see that we forgot the time when we talked. It's already five o'clock, and I sincerely invite you to stay for a meal in my own name. You are a friend of my father-in-law. If you let Jenny know, I invite you You are here, and I will see you off at this time. I will probably sleep in the study today." Sir Edward blinked mischievously.

Li Zheng laughed dumbly, "Of course, this is my honor."

The two walked towards the restaurant of the Governor's Mansion hand in hand, and when they reached the door of the restaurant, Edward patted his head, "I forgot to mention, I also invited a few guests for dinner today, but I think you should know Mr. Li Zheng. "

With that said, the waiter in front had already opened the door.

There were already many people sitting on the long table in the restaurant, and Li Zheng saw many familiar faces among these people.The media tycoon Shao Qihua, the Shen couple of Xiangjiang Daily, and other media tycoons, almost all the media figures who master the public opinion of Xiangjiang were present.

Li Zheng's heart trembled slightly, that's right, since Huaying didn't want a war to break out, then in this competition, the power of public opinion should not be underestimated.

"Crackling" the sound of ceramic bowls shattering to the ground.

Everyone looked around and saw that a young woman next to the Shen couple accidentally knocked over the bowl and chopsticks.

Shen Hongji hurriedly helped his wife clean up. Mr. Shen's expression was a bit serious, and Yang Wanru's expression had already darkened, but in front of all her peers, it was not easy to vent, so she just forced a smile, "Hongji, you should take care of me." Qiu Hua, don't just think about yourself."

The pupils of Li Zheng who was standing at the door shrank for a moment.The current Zhao Qiuhua is more mature and glamorous than when he was a student. Li Zheng only saw her a few times in photos, so naturally he didn't recognize her at a glance.

Until Yang Wanru opened his mouth, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. After seeing his grandfather, his mother came out again.He suddenly felt that he should stay in Africa for a while.

"Mr. Li Zheng? Mr. Li Zheng?" Seeing that Li Zheng was in a daze, Edward asked suspiciously.

Li Zheng immediately withdrew his mind, touched his nose and smiled, "I've been in Africa for a long time, and I just came back and saw so many people, I'm not used to it."

Edward laughed, and he personally led Li Zheng to sit down on the seat next to him, and then walked to the main seat.

"I believe that everyone who is a media person will be familiar with our Mr. Li Zheng. A genius biologist, with a golden brain at the world's wealth level, a legendary figure who led Doman to peace." He loudly introduced to everyone, this introduction The words really made Li Zheng ashamed.

Especially on this occasion, there is a special person.

Li Zheng tried his best to ignore Zhao Qiuhua's existence, stood up and raised his glass, "Mr. Edward is exaggerating, I respect you all, junior." He said, downing the red wine in one gulp.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became active.

Shao Qihua was sitting next to Li Zheng, he looked at Li Zheng, and at Zhao Qiuhua who was sitting next to Shen Hongji, he suddenly felt that the meal was very interesting.

The author has something to say: Shao Qihua: I think this meal is very interesting.

Li Zheng: Hehe:) I remember you
