Cai Yuanpei looked at the well-behaved and sensible Wang Zheng with a smile, growing more and more fond of him the more he looked at him.
As a native of southern Beijing, he naturally hoped that his hometown would develop better. Now that Nanjing University had produced such a talented young man and could even be associated with him, he couldn't be happier.
Regarding Wang Zheng's desire to try cultivating spiritual plants at Nanjing University, although he fully supported it, he didn't actually have high hopes. However, he still felt he had to offer some advice, so he took the initiative to speak:
"Wang Zheng, don't blame your mother for being heartless. The reason she refused your request wasn't because of you."
Although Nanjing University has the corresponding geographical conditions, its climate simulation system is an old technology from many years ago. We have conducted related simulations in the laboratory, but the results have not been satisfactory.
She just doesn't want you to waste your energy and end up with no results, which would only delay your own cultivation. You should understand her about this.
As for me, I just think that you young people have a lot of ideas and might bring some new inspiration. In addition, I also want to do my part in restarting the Nanjing University back mountain ecological park project and give it another try.
You don't need to feel any pressure. Just go for it. It's not just Principal Chu and Teacher Gu; we natives of Jingnan also want to do our part for our hometown, hoping that Jingnan, the entire Jiangnan province, or even China as a whole, will become better and better.
When Wang Zheng heard that his junior brother was praising him too much, he immediately shuddered and quickly whispered:
"I need to make this clear to you. I have some minor clues, but overall I'm still really unsure."
This is really just an experiment, and even if it succeeds, it might not be able to be scaled up. You should be prepared for that.
Hearing Wang Zheng's words, Li Liang and Cai Yuanpei were both amused. It turned out that this kid wasn't just trying his luck with Nanjing University's ecological park system, but actually had some real skills.
In an instant, Cai Yuanpei laughed even more heartily, waving his hands repeatedly and saying:
"It's alright, it's alright. Just consider it a new attempt. It would be great if it succeeds, but we won't force it if it doesn't. After all, no other place in the many provinces of the South has ever successfully cultivated it. Don't feel pressured, just let it be, just let it be..."
What else could Wang Zheng say but nod silently?
Seeing how humble Wang Zheng was, Cai Yuanpei realized he was getting a bit thirsty after talking for so long, so he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip.
But after taking that one bite, his expression immediately changed.
"This...this...what's wrong with this tea?"
When Wang Zheng saw that he had finally started drinking tea, he also pretended to be puzzled.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Cai? Is there a problem?"
As the director of the Jingnan Research Institute, Cai Yuanpei couldn't possibly be unable to appreciate the treasure in this tea. At this moment, he was simply shocked by the profound heritage of Nanjing University. When did it become so extravagant?
"No problem, no problem, I'm just thinking to myself, Nanjing University is really different now!"
Wang Zheng subtly curled his lip. It was indeed different. Although this tea was the same tea that Old Man Chu usually drank, he had secretly added a drop of liquid spiritual energy to the water.
After all, although many people knew about his secret dealings with the capital, it wasn't something worth publicizing, and Wang Zheng believed that Director Cai was definitely unaware of it.
Then he chuckled and chimed in:
"It really is different now. Nanjing University's development is on the right track, and it will only get better in the future. Once the ecological park on the back mountain is built, Nanjing University's subsequent research work will also be put back on the agenda."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yuanpei immediately sat up straight.
"So, this experimental base is going to be restarted? Great! Thinking about the grand occasion ten years ago still makes me feel quite excited."
At this point, Cai Yuanpei's face suddenly darkened, and he said somewhat angrily:
"If it weren't for the strong support from the government, and the fact that the merger of the two universities in southern and southeastern Beijing was prevented at the time, the title of the number one university in China would be hard to say!"
Is Nanjing University's experimental base going to be put back into use?
Even Chu Tianxing didn't know about this. Wang Zheng saw that his casually made promise had indeed caught the attention of his senior brother, and he smiled and advised:
"Senior brother, be careful with your words. There are some things that we should keep to ourselves, but we can't just say them carelessly."
Seeing that Wang Zheng was so thoughtful at such a young age, Cai Yuanpei found him to be more and more reliable, and then took the initiative to change the subject.
As for Li Liang standing to the side, she felt even more proud.
Although she was still annoyed by Wang Zheng's presumptuous decision yesterday, she was naturally proud to see how mature he was in dealing with people and how well he was loved by the older generation.
Next, Wang Zheng chatted casually with his senior, but he was secretly delighted.
He's already made a fortune from this. The reason he went to such lengths is to take this opportunity to showcase Nanjing University's strength, open up channels, and establish a relationship with the research institute.
Although he had a good relationship with the military, research projects on spiritual plants like these were usually directly assigned to research institutes in various places. Wang Zheng's ambitions were not limited to the medicinal materials for making these few potions.
If Chu Xiaoman were to truly develop the special effects of her visualization objects and confirm their effectiveness on spiritual plants, it wouldn't be a simple matter of just a few potions...
The government is releasing more and more things now, and who knows if there will be any other projects in the future.
Just like that body-strengthening liquid that can promote the development of the physical qualities of awakened individuals and help them to quickly master the external training method, it still hasn't been officially announced yet...
Although my mother held the position of technical director in the research institute, she was mainly responsible for development and research work. Moreover, both her personality and position determined that she could not provide Wang Zheng with absolute assistance.
Therefore, Wang Zheng believed that it was very necessary to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Cai Yuanpei.
Don't be fooled by what Director Cai says now; who knows what will happen in the future? Even if there really is some hometown sentiment involved, and he's thinking about the future of young people in southern Beijing.
Don't forget, there's more than just one Awakened University in southern Beijing.
There's a Southeast University right next door that ranked fifth in the last freshman competition, and besides, their president isn't injured right now.
Wang Zheng's current actions are clearly telling this cheap senior brother a lesson.
“Nanjing University is now confident because we have so much liquid spiritual energy that we can make tea with it. More interaction and cooperation in the future will definitely bring benefits.”
Now that the research institute has seen the financial strength of Nanjing University, if Chu Xiaoman is really capable enough, then if there are other more valuable spiritual plant research projects, why would they not come to us on their own initiative?
