Ye Zhiwei nodded obediently.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Director Chen had other matters to attend to, and Yu Jingchen also needed to prepare for his lecture.

Ye Zhiwei and the others then took Ye Qingcheng for a walk around the school.

Yenching University is a century-old institution, and many of its buildings were constructed during its founding period. The entire campus is imbued with a sense of history and age. Strolling through Yenching University gives one a feeling of time travel, as if stepping back a hundred years, with every scene telling a story of history.

Ye Zhiwei led Ye Qingcheng to the garden. The garden of Yenching University was one of the eight major department gardens that caused a sensation a hundred years ago. It occupies a very large area of ​​Yenching University. The entire garden is very complete, including buildings such as palaces, halls, towers, pavilions, kiosks, galleries, study rooms, temples and so on.

After walking through the garden, you'll find the medical school's laboratory building right here.

The experimental research project that Jiang Jianian participated in is also located here.

Most of the participants in this medical research project were graduate students from Yenching University. Jiang Jianian was an exception. The professor in charge of the project specially invited Jiang Jianian to participate after learning that he was at the Li Lizhang Research Institute.

Ye Qingcheng, seemingly struck by a sudden thought, suggested going inside to take a look, appearing quite interested in the subject. He even asked Jiang Jianian, "Little Jiang, what research topic are you working on this time?"

“Transcription factor Oct4,” Jiang Jianian replied calmly, “is related to cancer.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's expression underwent a subtle change, which was fleeting. Apart from Jiang Jianian noticing it, Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli did not notice the change in Ye Qingcheng's emotions.

Ye Qingcheng was indeed interested. He asked Jiang Jianian to lead the way, and together they went upstairs to visit some of the research projects in the laboratory building. Yenching University has its own research institute, and many of the research projects are quite in-depth.

Some research projects that were ultimately abandoned in domestic and international collaborations will continue to be studied if the professor feels they have research value. Even if funding cannot be approved, he will still pay for the research out of his own pocket.

"The research project I'm involved in this time is one that was previously terminated by a foreign research institution that was unwilling to continue.

Because of the withdrawal of funding from foreign research institutions, it is difficult to obtain funding in China, so professors basically have to pay out of their own pockets.

Ye Qingcheng listened very attentively, and then he asked to meet the professor and asked Jiang Jianian to help introduce him.

Knowing that Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli weren't very interested in these things, Ye Qingcheng told them they could go explore the garden on their own while he and Jiang Jianian waited for the professor.

The two, who had initially thought they might have to listen to Ye Qingcheng talk about these sacred and profound but uninteresting scientific research topics, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, unlike Ji Shuli, who wanted to slip away immediately, Ye Zhiwei was a little worried that something might happen to Jiang Jianian and Ye Qingcheng together, and she hesitated whether she should stay as well.

Seeing this, Ji Shuli whispered in Ye Zhiwei's ear, "Little cousin, you're overthinking it again. What could he possibly be up to? Jiang Jianian is much smarter than you! You're not interested in these things, and you won't leave even though Uncle has allowed you to. That's the problem. Do you want Uncle to find out about you and Jiang Jianian—"

"Shh!" Ye Zhiwei gestured to Ji Shuli to stop talking, and pushed Ji Shuli out, while forcing a dry laugh at Ye Qingcheng: "Then my cousin and I will go for a walk in the garden again, Dad, you and Jiang Jianian wait here for the professor to come."

Without waiting for Ye Qingcheng to say anything more, she ran off with Ji Shuli.

"This little girl." Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli's figures gradually disappear.

The professor hadn't arrived yet, so only Ye Qingcheng and Jiang Jianian remained in the break room of the research lab. Ye Qingcheng looked at Jiang Jianian and slowly said, "Little Jiang, you must have put a lot of effort into taking care of Zhiwei during this time."

Ye Qingcheng was referring to this period of time, not the last two days.
