Over the next few days, Lu Qiuying packed her things and went to Guangzhou.

Lin Ziyan and Fatty also packed their things, preparing to head to Teng City.

After Hairun's production caught up, Ren Donglai set off for H country again.

He's bringing Wei Ting and the others along now, and when the time is right, he'll let them take charge on their own.

"Professor Shen has been away in Beijing for far too long this time. Is he really going to be back before we go to Teng City?" The chubby girl frowned as she packed up the necessary documents.

Lin Ziyan glanced at Lu Yunshen's desk. Not only Professor Shen, but Lu Yunshen was also in Beijing now.

“He called last night, so he should be able to make it. Anyway, there’s nothing major happening here, and all the university students who came here to study have been taken care of.”

At this time, Professor Shen and Professor Su were attending a scientific aquaculture technology exchange meeting in Beijing.

Professor Su is a chemistry expert, so his participation in this exchange meeting is somewhat out of place.

However, the cultivation of artificial seawater has allowed him to move beyond a single field.

"I used to think that since you're always around poison, you'd poison yourself to death someday," Professor Shen said, now refreshed and sharp-tongued.

They returned to Fuzhou after attending the meeting.

He and Lao Su would rather spend all their time in the lab than attend such a lavish event.

Professor Su wasn't annoyed. "I thought you would live with the fish."

Shen Hai gave a soft snort and didn't continue arguing with him.

The artificial seawater samples have been approved by high-level officials, but they are currently classified and only a few people know about them.

That sample is only a semi-finished product; it's almost impossible to farm seafood from it.

Shen Hai felt that this was already a major breakthrough.

Once the concept is validated, and further research continues, achieving his goal will only be a matter of time.

He can't wait to fly back to Fuzhou.

"Professor Shen, would you like to share your ideas on inland aquaculture of seafood with everyone?" Minister Min of the Fuzhou Aquatic Products Association suddenly spoke up, his face full of smiles, but the smiles did not reach his eyes.

The others began to discuss among themselves.

"Are you crazy? Farming seafood in a place where there's no sea?"

"It's as ridiculous as trying to cook rice when there's no rice."

"I think Professor Shen has been spending too much time in the lab; he's gone mad..."

"..."

Shen Hai glanced at him, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Minister Min, however, was not about to let go of this opportunity to embarrass himself, and stepped forward to continue.

"Professor Shen, let's exchange ideas. Maybe someone can offer some good suggestions?"

Shen Hai's gaze was indifferent. "If you don't even agree with the idea, what good advice can you offer?"

“I do have similar ideas and am working in that direction.”

"If anyone really wants to ask, they can contact me privately."

Professor Su remained silent, glancing at everyone present.

At this exchange meeting, there were quite a few people who run breeding farms, but most of them were from Qingdao.

No representatives from farms in Fukushi attended the meeting.

Minister Min's smile faded slightly, as if he wanted to say something more, but was stopped by his friend beside him.

"Don't confront him directly. He came with people from the Ministry of Commerce today; they might have some connections," his friend whispered a reminder.

Minister Min squinted as he watched Professor Su chatting with his head down, his brow furrowing slightly.

Professor Su is a chemistry expert and is completely out of place at this exchange meeting.

The only thing that's somewhat related is animal feed.

Some of the feed and pesticides currently being sold have some connection to Professor Su.

"I'm quite interested. Is it convenient for us to chat privately?" A man approached Shen Hai.

When Minister Min saw that person, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Aren't these members of the Su family?

He is a distant relative of Professor Su.

"Ahui, stop causing trouble," Professor Su hurriedly scolded.

Shen Hai was quite generous in saying that when you talked to him, you could tell that he was very knowledgeable and could respond to anything he said.

Su Hui is a distant relative of Professor Su's maternal grandmother.

He also studied chemistry, but his area of ​​expertise differed from Professor Su's.

While in Beijing, Su Hui frequently visited Professor Su's home to ask about academic matters, and they gradually became acquainted.

"Not bad, young and promising. We old folks have someone to carry on the family tradition." Shen Hai smiled with satisfaction and gave his friend a look.

Professor Su nodded and exchanged a few polite words.

Su Hui didn't linger and quickly left, making an excuse to meet a friend.

If someone else were to strike up a conversation with Shen Hai, they would at least try to curry favor with him.

But Su Hui was different. After asking his question, he left, showing composure and grace.

"He has a scholarly air about him, Old Su. You're lucky." Shen Hai said calmly, and thinking of his apprentice, he felt less upset.

It would be a lie to say he's not disappointed that his son didn't want to study his major and instead went to Guangzhou to become some kind of regulatory minister.

However, he respects his son's choice and has long since come to terms with it.

"Come on, don't you have a good apprentice now? Stop talking so sourly, broaden your horizons." Professor Su gave him a reproachful look.

“Su Hui’s family is in the cosmetics business, and my maternal grandmother’s family would prefer him to go back and take over the family business.”

"He refused to go back no matter what, and had a falling out with his family to study in Beijing..." Professor Su sighed.

Every family has its own worries.

Shen Hai nodded. Parents have no say in their children's affairs; they have to let them choose for themselves. Even if they make the wrong choice, they can't blame anyone else but themselves.

No amount of reasoning can compare to hitting a brick wall once.

…

On the other side, Lin Ziyan didn't wait for Professor Shen to return; she dragged her suitcase and went to Teng City with the chubby girl.

Fujishi and Fukushi are not far apart, but Fujishi has four distinct seasons.

The two immediately put on a light jacket as they came out of the airport.

A light drizzle and a thick fog obscured most of Teng City.

The two went straight to the Tengshi Hotel and changed into autumn clothes.

The ground was covered with golden fallen leaves, which were now stained with raindrops.

Looking out the hotel window, the view resembles the Jiangnan region shrouded in mist and rain, offering a unique and charming experience.

"Tsk, it's like looking at a traditional Chinese ink painting, it calms you down." The chubby girl exclaimed and quickly closed the window.

A chill crept in through the cracks, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

"Today we're going to visit an old house," Lin Ziyan said with a smile, changing into an old-fashioned vest made by her grandmother. It was padded with cotton, making it thin, light, and warm.

The chubby girl nodded vigorously, her eyes full of anticipation.

I just passed by a mansion in a car. It looked like a large mansion from a TV set, both rustic and exquisite.

Fujishi has the most old houses; these were once inhabited by wealthy people.

Lin Ziyan told her a lot about the history of Teng City, and the more she listened, the more fascinated she became.

"When are we going to Fuyuan?" The chubby girl immediately packed her bag, making sure to bring all the important documents.

Now you don't need any certificates to go out; you can use your ID card.

Actually, it's been available for two years now, but many people don't bother to apply because they don't travel far.

When traveling, having an ID card is still more convenient.

"Let's go take a look tomorrow." Lin Ziyan's eyes darkened slightly. Perhaps the Su family in Teng City had already moved away.

She didn't tell her grandmother her guess, but she already planned that if the Su family moved away, she would use these recipes to open a few antique rouge shops.
