Chapter 76
"She is...?" Behind the glass door, An Jing looked at the woman in a white coat who was concentrating on scientific research experiments. She had white hair and a solemn expression, but occasionally showed a slight apology to others.
"Dr. Bai Tiaobai, from Jiang Country," Lin Mosheng told him. "He's the one who saved Chief Deng Zhengming after he was assassinated."
"Another outsider." An Jing revealed his attitude. Everyone knows that Lanzhou is a piece of fat meat now, and everyone wants to take a bite.
"Don't say that. His identity is very special." Lin Mosheng whispered in his ear, "It is said that he used to specialize in the study of fluorescent fungus. He came here with the determination to completely cure fluorescent disease."
"Is she really capable?" An Jing was shocked and immediately wanted to push the door open, but Lin Mosheng grabbed his arm and held her back. Zheng Sheng said, "What are you doing? She's doing an experiment. Besides, your dad really treats her very well."
"I'm going to find a teacher or something." An Jing laughed.
Lin Mosheng: "Are you a biology student?"
An Jing said, "No, but I think that since she can completely cure the fluorescent disease, isn't that like saving the world? By then, the miasma on land will be gone, and the fluorescent disease will be gone too, so we won't need to stay in the underwater base anymore."
Thinking of this, An Jing smiled sincerely, even eager to try it out excitedly, and said, "Hey, if I become her student, wouldn't it mean that my name will be on the journal list every time in the future, and I'll also be a high-ranking person with connections."
"Is this all you want? You don't even want money..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Mosheng fell silent and looked at him with strange eyes. It was really rare that there were actually idealists like An Jing in this day and age.
That's right, An Jing has seen and eaten everything since he was a child, and money is just a note to him. Lin Mosheng felt a little unhappy when he thought of this. They were of the same age, and the An family was such a noble family, so they could get whatever they wanted.
"Actually, I don't have much talent for scientific research." An Jing seemed to be immersed in his own world again. "But I have a heart that respects science and looks forward to the future. You know, we were born at the bottom of the ocean and haven't even breathed common air. Life is about experiencing things you haven't experienced before. I've never seen blue sky and white clouds, so of course I yearn for it."
When talking about these things, An Jing would talk more.
Lin Mosheng glanced away from him, totally disagreeing. Indeed, he felt that they were two completely different types of people, and people like An Jing were just naive children living in the romantic conception created by his father.
"I've never let you starve." Lin Mo whispered, looking at him with a playful smile, recalling the time when the light-hardened wall almost flooded half of Area A, and Ren An Xingmin directly pulled several trucks of spare food from a food factory.
Major disasters are often opportunities that reveal a person's ability to handle things, while the small details in life can reveal a person's character.
Apart from being too daddy and not respecting women, there is really nothing wrong with An Xingmin.
"I envy you very much, Teacher An." Lin Mosheng's face was gloomy. He looked at An Jing, who was full of curiosity about Dr. Bai and jumping up and down, and felt a little jealous of his innocence and stubbornness.
What did he envy him for? Lin Mosheng couldn't put his finger on it. Perhaps it was his demeanor, his conversation, or perhaps it was anything at all. In his eyes, the An Jing family was undoubtedly superior to his own.
People instinctively yearn for beautiful things and even imitate them.
Many people in this world spend their entire lives proving to others that they are irreplaceable, and they even use money and power to package their authority.
Authorities, on the other hand, hate being imitated and even view new things as challenges - this is the class barrier.
"What's there about me that you should envy?" An Jing seemed to sense the awkwardness in his words. He turned around and said with a flattering smile, "Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Xiaolin. Society has its corresponding division of labor. Your family is much richer than mine, isn't it?"
Lin Mosheng: "But your family has weight and a say."
"No, no, it's just my dad. It has nothing to do with me." An Jing turned around, his expression suddenly changed to annoyance. He turned and walked away, leaving a sentence on his side: "Let's talk about it another time. Don't worry about the paper. Don't worry, you are the second author."
"I wish you continued success." Lin Mosheng said politely.
-
An Jing returned to his large flat and opened his wristband. There were messages from Song Zhishu and casual chats between him and Shen Qiang. It was rare to see that there was also a warm message from his father An Xingmin.
Song Zhishu: I didn't expect our new female editor-in-chief to be so pretty. Let me show you. (Picture)
Song Zhishu: He drives a Phantom to and from work, so rich! I was just saying that being in the Light of Blue Star really opened my eyes. Dealing with you Tianlong people every day makes me feel so inferior.
Seeing this, An Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled, then shook his head subconsciously.
Chen Qiang: Brother An, take a look at this article. It sounds very serious, saying that Bai Tiao is a spy from the Jiang Kingdom, and that Yingzhi is a plant she invented specifically to deal with the biological bombs from the Xia Kingdom, and then... you will know after you read it.
An Jing frowned, clicked on it and took a quick look. He didn't take it seriously for a moment, thinking that it was just someone exaggerating. After all, conspiracy theories are something that everyone has reasons for, and he was too lazy to think about it in detail.
His father, An Xingmin, asked: "Do you want to join the army? Do you plan to stay a teacher?" An Jing, "Dad is doing this for your own good. You're still unsure about your political affiliation. Why don't you join the Ocean Party? Do you know how much this will impact your future?"
An Jing curled his lips, but his eyes were no longer as sincere as before. He replied: Dad, I have my own way to go, please don't interfere too much.
Many years later, An Jing looked back and reminisced, feeling truly grateful for his once-perseverant self. Life is rarely perfect; father and son were separated, their kinship shattered. He had no choice but to leave the Blue Continent base and survive.
Looking back, An Jing casually cooked some instant noodles and began to carefully read the article Comrade Shen Qiang sent him, and made a brief summary of the characters in it.
After all, they had known each other for five years. An Jing had hooked up with Song Zhishu and had a good relationship with Shen Qiang. He introduced him to jobs, and the latter occasionally revealed some front-line news to him.
An Jing wrote and drew on paper.
Bai Tiao, a native of Jiang country, is the culprit who invented Yingzhi. She was ordered by senior leaders to develop biological weapons against Xia country. Later, the situation got out of control and she was monitored and excluded. She wanted to run.
Liang Chen, a Xia nationality, was so heartbroken that she assisted Bai Tiao in sneaking to the Blue Island underwater base, shielding this national criminal who violated the country's interests, according to insiders.
As a result, during this operation, Bai Tiao successfully escaped, but Liang Chen was arrested. Due to his excessive resistance to the government, he was stabbed to death on the spot when he refused to obey orders, and his entire family was implicated.
Even the young man named Lu Chao, Ms. Liang's only son, who was about the same age as An Jing, died in a car accident on the way.
"Is this credible?" An Jing muttered to himself.
But then he thought again, the day when Leader Deng Zhengming was assassinated was also the first time he saw Bai Tiao. That expression, that posture, and even that disheveled clothes, really looked like someone who had survived a disaster.
"No way." An Jing poked his forehead with a pen and whispered, "If Yingzhi was really her fault, then Bai Tiao, as a Jiang countryman, has committed such a great evil to the Xia countryman and even the whole world, and yet she is still alive. This is a miracle in itself."
"Is this God's will? She has to pay for the evil she has done. Seeing her in the lab, she looked quite affable, not like some Frankensteinian extremist. Oh...her invention of the Yingzhi plant was the idea of those politicians. Then she lost control and her conscience was tortured, so she developed resentment towards her own people?"
An Jing muttered a long while before finally nodding gravely. "I've always been ahead of the times, and I think my point of view is absolutely correct. The problem is—does my dad really accept anyone who comes? This Mr. Bai, no matter how you look at it, is a sinner who has offended the Xia Nation. If the Xia Nation government puts pressure on us in the future, will we still have to protect such a person?"
Thinking of this, the phone rang. An Jing was so scared that he dropped his pen. He picked up the phone and the leader from Blue Continent University told him that an alumnus had recently returned to give a military propaganda speech.
"Okay, I will definitely notify everyone." An Jing agreed, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart; because of his powerful father, even leaders with more qualifications than him were particularly respectful to him.
"That's not a big deal." An Jing pursed his lips and said, "For things like this, you can just @ me in the group chat. Why do you always call me in person? I'm not blind. I'm drunk."
An Jing turned back to TT and swiped the screen. As a result, he saw two eye-catching characters of the speaker - Bian Lu.
I almost forgot, this guy is also from Lan University. He studied law and then switched to a military academy.
"..." Teacher An's eyes widened. After all, there were very few people with this surname. And he had just been doing something behind the scenes a few days ago, so he felt a little guilty towards this person who was being tricked without knowing it.
What kind of karma is this? Who can escape the fate of heaven? An Jing frowned in pain.
He thought that he should take a leave, as less trouble is worse than more. He just randomly found a band concert on the Internet and thought of inviting Song Zhishu to meet him to kill time. Before he could send the screenshot, Comrade Shen Qiang sent him a photo sincerely.
Shen Qiang: I must be seeing things. (Picture)
Song Zhishu was kissing a girl with big curly hair as if no one was around.
An Jing threw the bracelet away, extremely irritated. He rubbed his face fiercely, then picked it up and clicked the voice message: It's a small matter, just for fun. I'm the same as him, we are all this kind of people.
Shen Qiang: Strong. (Green hat, little yellow face)
An Jing rolled his eyes, put down his pen and went out, heading straight to Blue Continent University to inquire about the news. At the same time, another evil idea emerged in his mind.
If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. It's good that the new has come, handsome guy.
