Chapter 311 Reverse Poaching
Because Lu Youyou was too busy, she could come once a week before, but later the intervals became longer and longer.
Song Huanian doesn't get to see him often, so when he saw him today, he couldn't bear to let him go.
Loving the house and loving the dog in it is only part of the reason. Song Huanian really likes his granddaughter-in-law Lu Youyou, who is outstanding in character, talent and appearance. He has lived for more than seventy years and has never seen anyone more outstanding than Lu Youyou.
His grandson cannot come to the United States, and his grandson's wife has to go back after graduation. When he thought of this, Song Huanian felt even more reluctant.
"Youyou, I remember you said the duration of the government-sponsored program is until graduate school graduation?"
"Yes, I will go back after I get my graduate degree."
"Have you ever thought about continuing your studies? If there is no government-sponsored place, you can pay for it yourself. Grandpa will pay for your tuition."
Before Lu Youyou could say anything, Song Yunqing couldn't help but speak first.
"Grandpa, don't even mention tuition fees. If my sister-in-law wasn't a government-sponsored student, she would definitely get a lot of scholarships. As long as she says she wants to study for a doctorate, her advisor will be able to complete the formalities tomorrow!"
This is not an exaggeration at all. Professor Hopkins had already mentioned the doctoral study to Lu Youyou. She didn't have to worry about the quota, procedures, and tuition fees. As long as she was willing, it could be done immediately.
Song Huanian was very happy, his pride was evident in his words: "Really? Okay, okay, then I'm relieved. Youyou, what do you think?"
Lu Youyou shook her head: "I don't have any intention of pursuing a doctorate for the time being."
Song Huanian's smile was still gentle: "Do you have any concerns? You can talk to grandpa."
"I don't have any worries, I just want to go back home."
Lu Youyou went abroad not because she loved studying and doing scientific research, she just wanted to do her best to help the country catch up.
If studying for a doctorate could allow her to visit all the most advanced laboratories in the United States, she would definitely stay, but this is definitely impossible.
She did have a photographic memory, but she couldn't perform magic, let alone become invisible, so she stayed only to stay in Professor Hopkins' laboratory for a few more years.
She is clear about the current research projects in the laboratory and the subsequent plans. They are all large-scale projects and there will be no leaps and bounds in progress in a short period of time.
Of course, if she works hard, it is not impossible for her to make great progress, but with that effort she can return to China to make progress, so as to avoid having to pay patent fees to foreign countries for decades in the future.
This is even more true for her second major. Her tutor is researching genetic modification technology, which is still in the exploratory stage, and it will take some time before it can be truly applied in the food industry.
She has copied everything she could, and the rest is just a matter of hard work. This part can also be applied to China. Who knows, maybe China will become a leader in genetically modified technology in this life.
The extravagant and decadent life outside has no appeal to Lu Youyou at all. As long as she has a research direction, it doesn’t matter if the conditions are a little worse. It’s just a matter of spending more time.
She missed home, her parents, and Gu Qingye.
Although Song Huanian felt sorry, he didn't say much. But Song Yunqing couldn't bear to let her go, so he came over from the other end of the sofa, put his arms around her and cuddled her tightly.
"Sister-in-law, are you really going back to China after graduation? Don't you want to consider it again?"
The word "bewitched" was almost clearly written on Song Yunqing's face.
Lu Youyou smiled without saying anything, while Song Yunqing continued to try hard to steal his cousin's girl.
"You've been in the United States for so long and you still don't have time to go out and play. Stay a few more years and I'll take you around North America, South America, and Europe. I'll be your tour guide!"
"You can also come back to China to find me. I will accompany you to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland."
Song Yunqing looked miserable. She did want to, but she was just in her sophomore year and would be busy for the next two or three years.
"Sister-in-law, I can't bear to leave you!"
Song Yunqing didn't expect that she would still have to act like a spoiled child at the age of twenty. She knew that acting like a spoiled child was useless, but she just couldn't bear to leave Lu Youyou.
The two have only known each other for more than a year, but they rarely get along well, not to mention that now that Lu Youyou has become her cousin's wife, they are even more clingy and unrestrained.
"When you graduate, you can come to China to find me. You can stay as long as you want."
Lu Youyou's mind moved slightly, and he started to poach the people.
Several younger generations of the Song family are academic elites. Song Shaoqing is a Harvard alumnus, Song Yunqing was admitted to Stanford, and I heard that Song Jingting's son from Hong Kong was admitted to Cambridge last year.
There’s no need for Song Shaoqing to think about it, as she has never met the one from Cambridge, but Song Yunqing can definitely try for it!
Song Yunqing didn't take it to heart at first, but when she saw Lu Youyou's eyes, she was stunned for a moment: "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"
"Of course, you can come and visit during the winter and summer vacations. If you can adapt, come and see me after you graduate."
Song Yunqing's major was not business, which is what the third-generation rich like, but she chose biology, which she was interested in. She didn't have to worry about supporting her family and could do whatever she wanted in the future.
She thought seriously about what Lu Youyou said, and it seemed like it might really work?
"But what can I do if I go there?"
Lu Youyou briefly talked about his future plans: "When the time is right, I plan to set up a private laboratory."
Song Yunqing opened her mouth wide: "How much does that cost?!"
In her heart, Lu Youyou is undoubtedly a genius, but being a research genius is not a 100% sure success.
If there is no output, scientific research is a bottomless pit that no amount of money can fill.
Little did she know that this was what Lu Youyou was least afraid of. The right direction was in her heart. All she needed was time, manpower, and the occasional flash of inspiration.
Lu Youyou smiled confidently, but Song Yunqing's imagination exploded at this moment, and she already had a picture in her mind -
My dear cousin's wife was at a loss because of the research obstacles. All the money she invested was wasted. My cousin's wife cried, and my cheap cousin cried with her...
Song Yunqing shuddered. This wouldn’t do. She had to get help!
Having her as a cobbler can at least make some difference, and the less loss the better.
Seeing that Song Yunqing looked like she had to help, Lu Youyou's smile deepened.
The poaching progress bar has moved forward a small step, which is cause for celebration.
*
Ever since Song Huanian learned that Lu Youyou was going to return to China after graduation, he has become even more caring towards her.
Since he couldn't go home every week to do nothing, he asked the chef to prepare nutritious meals and send them to him every now and then.
You don’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, the housekeeper will help you take care of it.
He also assigned Song Shaoqing to come over and take a look when he was free. Song Shaoqing came more often and met Li Mingyue more and more often.
If you are in a hurry, just say hello; if you are not in a hurry, you can occasionally say a few words.
After a period of time, Li Mingyue also learned a lot of information, such as that Lu Youyou is related to the Song family, and that Song Shaoqing is not only a project manager, he is the son of computer king Song Heting.
This alone was enough to make her heart pound. Lawrence couldn't reach it, but what about Song Shaoqing? What if she could reach it...
But when I thought of Lu Youyou’s calm eyes, it was like being poured with a bucket of ice water in the middle of winter, chilling my heart to the core.
What should she do?
