Urban Druid

In a blink of an eye, it was late summer and early autumn in September again, and it was time for the annual summary of Ning Qing's cooperative research with seven foreign institutions.

In addition to experiments and teaching students, his busy objects include receiving researchers from these scientific research institutions, communicating with them, guiding experiments, and solving problems.After a year of experimentation, one-third of the research on the cooperative project has been carried out. Ning Qing was a little overjoyed. It seems that the time for the final results is not far away.With this good news, even the complicated interpersonal communication couldn't make him feel down. Even though he was busy every day without touching the ground, he was still full of energy.

At this time, it happened to be the annual graduate enrollment time of S University.

Two of Ning Qing's female students have already published one or two papers in high-impact journals, which were highly commended by the S University, which caused a sensation.This led to a lot of students who chose Ning Qing as their tutor, which added a lot of workload to him.

Fortunately, Ning Qing had foreseen that the materials compiled last year can now lay the foundation for this student, so he doesn't need to repeat such trivial things.

After sending away the researchers of the cooperative institution and handing over the two new students to their senior sisters, all Ning Qing needs to do now is to write the research results and publish them in "Nature".This is a hard job, with hundreds of researchers working hard for a year, and huge experimental data, there is no room for him to be negligent.

After staying up all night for a week, Ning Qing finished writing the thesis, and she lost a lot of weight.

Gao Cheng watched anxiously, he had managed to raise the man to a little fleshy, and now he has lost weight again, he was gnashing his teeth and wanted to tear up those experiment reports, pack the man away, and force him to rest on the bed for a while Fan.

Well, he can only think about it this way. When Ning Qing was busy, he still didn't dare to interfere. He honestly cooked, washed, and took care of the housework, delivered supplements every day, and took good care of people.

Ning Qing's research is going well, Gaocheng's promotion has also spread, and the first wave of advertising is about to start.

The people under him have already submitted the promotion plan for the entire crystal plant product and sent it to him for approval.But when he took this plan, he always felt that something was wrong, it felt too plain, without gimmicks and explosive points.

That night, he and Ning Qing stayed in the living room, each holding a notebook, smoking one cigarette after another, frowning and thinking hard.The choking smoke that filled the room had not had time to be absorbed by the plants, and both dogs were smoked to the terrace.

At twelve o'clock, Ning Qing finally wrote the thesis, checked it carefully, and sent it to the heads of various institutions without any problems.

After finishing his work, he stood up and stretched his waist, but it was strange to see Gao Cheng was still busy.

In the past, Gao Cheng always took care of his work during working hours, never brought him home, and always urged him to go to bed early, as if he was very free, why is he later than him today?

Thinking of this, he walked over curiously and looked carefully.

On Gaocheng's notebook, two PPT interfaces are opened side by side at this moment, one is the promotion of crystal plants, and the other is the development plan of the new villa.

Ning Qing is also very familiar with the promotion progress of crystal plants, so there is nothing to look at.

The new villa project is Gao's real estate group's second major project to enter the Rongcheng market. After long-term and detailed market research, it is the only urban villa project within the third ring road in Rongcheng in recent years.Because this project is related to the strategic development direction of the real estate group, Gaocheng has always been very concerned.

Looking at the two different plans, he always felt that there was a key point that could link the promotion of the two projects to achieve a qualitative change, but he couldn't figure out what the key was.

Ning Qing looked at it quietly for a while, then suddenly said: "It's better to replace all the greenery with crystal plants and make it a pilot project."

"Good idea!" Gao Cheng's eyes lit up, and Mao Sai suddenly realized that this was the key point!Sure enough, I and those subordinates still lack imagination.

Looking back to see Ning Qing, he pulled him over, hugged him in his arms, and praised in pleasant surprise: "Ah Qing is still smart!"

Ning Qing gradually got used to Gao Cheng's hug, and leaned into Gao Cheng's arms and asked, "Any ideas?"

"Yeah." Gao Cheng adjusted his sitting posture to make him more comfortable, and explained in detail: "If all the street lights in the villa community are replaced with crystal plants, then this villa will have a gimmick and a main selling point, and it will be different from other cities. The great difference of the villas, we will sell them as existing houses, so that buyers can see the effect first, and they will definitely sell well. At the same time, the success of the villas will also become the best endorsement of crystal plants, saving a lot of money Advertising fees. Tomorrow, I will have the people from the real estate group come over and discuss with the people from the biological company how to do it."

Gao Cheng's embrace was warm and thick, and Ning Qing felt very comfortable leaning on it, her tired body felt drowsy, and she couldn't help yawning, ready to wash up and go to sleep.

Just about to get up, he suddenly felt dizzy, and Gao Cheng hugged him.

Gao Cheng carried him to the bedroom, put him lightly on the bed, and said softly, "Go to rest tomorrow, you've been really tired lately."

Ning Qing: "..." It was really hard for him to imagine how this man, who was about 1.8 meters tall and weighed more than 100 kilograms, could easily lift him horizontally like a chicken.Is it because his little attack is too scumbag, or is Gao Cheng too tough?

As a result, on the second day, Ning Qing still couldn't rest.Because a branch of the research group had a small problem, he needed to solve it himself.

It took half a day to re-do the wrong experiments to ensure that the progress of the research would not be delayed before he went to lunch.

At this time, Gao Cheng was already waiting for him to eat outside. After waiting for almost an hour, he almost ran away and rushed into the laboratory to arrest him.

However, the management of the current biological laboratory is much stricter. Even if non-researchers enter, they must first wear chemical protective clothing.And Ning Qing is the top person in charge of the laboratory, without his permission, no one who doesn't matter can get in!

Naturally, Gao Cheng, the president with a previous record of "harassing experimenters and affecting research progress", was classified as "insignificant" by him, and could only be outside, obediently, as his large guard dog.

Gao Cheng went to the meeting after supervising Ning Qing finished eating the caring lunch he made himself.Ning Qing will also attend this meeting, and he will also participate in the garden design of the new villa.

Gao's real estate group, separated from a state-owned enterprise, not only has a comprehensive pre-planning team, architectural design firm and engineering team, but also an internationally renowned landscape design company.

On the topic of growing crystal plants in the villa dish, it was quickly passed.People in the real estate company are worried about the research progress and whether they can keep up with the construction.Don't wait until the villa has been built and the garden is still empty.

However, after being taken by Ning Qing to the greenhouse attached to the laboratory for a tour, they completely dispelled this doubt.Because even if the successful products do not come out in the end, these failed products are enough to be a gimmick.

In the days after he was relieved, Ning Qing had more discussions with the garden designers about the greening of the villa. Although he is not a designer, he can give the most suitable advice from another angle, so that the designers are very happy to join him. Very welcome.

For Ning Qing, who likes nature by nature and has the heart of a druid, this project is an important new attempt.

The urban druid system limits the scope of his druid profession to the city, and the essence of the city is artificial, which conflicts with the natural profession characteristics of the druid. This not only makes it difficult for him to upgrade, but also makes him feel Puzzled.

For the unlocking tasks required by the system, at the beginning, all he could do was research more plant varieties, but now he has one more choice.If the success of the villa real estate can arouse the interest of city managers, and the promotion of mutated plants will be fueled by officials, it will greatly speed up the process of purifying pollution.This is why Ning Qing is so enthusiastic about this project, and even squeezed out research time to cooperate with the work of the garden design team.

Such a busy and fulfilling work made Gao Cheng worry about his health for a while, and forced him to rest several times, but when he saw that his persuasion had no effect and that Ning Qing did not fall ill due to the decline in physical strength, he temporarily stopped. a compulsive behavior.

He knew that when Ah Qing became stubborn, he would not listen to anyone.All he can do is to coordinate the relationship and try to complete these tasks other than research quickly and smoothly. Only after these tasks are completed, Ah Qing's life will return to normal.

But before Ning Qing's life returned to normal, he received a shocking news from his uncle Gao Zheng: Ning Qing was nominated for the Nobel Prize!

The nominee was a well-known old scientist from a Swiss biological scientific research institution who had no connection with them.I don't know how my uncle got such top-secret information, but it is absolutely credible.

However, he immediately suppressed his shock, buried the news in his heart, and said nothing to anyone.

After returning home, I told Ning Qing immediately.

Ning Qing, who was combing the buns, was stunned, and didn't react for a while, and didn't even notice a bunch of hairs that were pulled off the buns with excessive force.It wasn't until Baozi screamed "Aww" that he came back to his senses.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to remain calm and asked, "Where did you get the news?" That's the Nobel Prize. When you hear this news, as long as you are a scientist, you can't be calm!

"My uncle said it. He has many friends in the academic circle. The news is very reliable." Gao Cheng said with a happy face.

But after such a short time, Ning Qing had recovered from the shock and was silent for a while before saying, "The possibility of winning this time is not high."

After all, the systematic theory of plant mutagenesis has not yet been fully developed, and the scope of influence is not wide enough.And last year was a year of intensive scientific achievements, and I am afraid that it is not too late for me to win an award.Although, he is confident that as long as he completes this research, he has a great chance of getting that top honor.

Gao Cheng also thought of this at this time, and encouraged him: "It doesn't matter if you don't get it this year, there is always a chance, I believe in you! I will not tell others about this, and I will remind my uncle not to spread it."

Ning Qing hummed, and continued to comb the bun calmly.

Although it is certain that there is no way to win the prize this time, I am not far from that goal...

On December 12, the Nobel Prize awards ended, and there was no Ning Qing.

Gao Cheng felt quite disappointed.But for Ning Qing, without hope, there is no disappointment.This can't control his emotions at all, and he is still busy with his own research every day.

The next day, I received a call from the old man.

"Xiaoqing, it doesn't matter if you didn't win the prize this time, there will be another time! Don't be stressed, Grandpa believes in you!" The old man was afraid that he would be sad, so he specially called to comfort and encourage him.

Looking at the old man's kind face and earnest instructions on the video call, Ning Qing nodded and said, "I'm fine." But for the first time in his heart, he made a request for himself that he must win the Nobel Prize.
