"Are you here?" The old man looked very kind and looked at Gu Lingqing with a smile.
"Hello." Gu Lingqing also smiled.
Facing the supreme ruler of China today, she was neither humble nor arrogant, neither nervous nor excited, and her eyes were very calm, as if she was facing an ordinary old man.
A strange color flashed in the old man's eyes, and his smile became even more amiable. "Miss Gu, please take a seat. These are all prepared by my wife personally for you. I hope you like them."
"Thank you." After Gu Lingqing sat down, he really reached out and picked up a piece of cake to taste it.
The old man looked at her gently, without further ado, and asked directly, "I heard that Miss Gu can improve people's health and prolong their lifespan. Is this true?"
"Really." Gu Lingqing nodded while eating.
The old man looked at her deeply with his cloudy eyes and said solemnly, "I know that it costs a lot for you to keep people healthy, but I still have a humble request. I hope you can extend the life of one person."
"Can."
Seeing Gu Lingqing nod, the old man smiled and said, "Come here, Lao Si."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in his eighties, wearing reading glasses, with white hair and a face full of wrinkles, walked out from the darkness with heavy steps.
"Commander, Miss Gu." Si Zhenguang stood with a complicated expression and saluted the two of them.
The director said with a smile: "Let me introduce this person. His name is Si Zhenguang, the chief scientist of China."
"He is the principal investigator of the National Key R&D Program and has single-handedly led research and development in various fields, including high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology."
Chief Scientist, as soon as these words came out, Gu Lingqing understood instantly and had a little more respect for the old man in front of him.
"Commander, I can't take such a precious opportunity. You are the backbone of our China. Your life is more important than anything else!" Si Zhenguang said from the bottom of his heart.
The chief said in a deep voice: "This is an order."
Si Zhenguang's lips trembled, and he finally lowered his head, "...Yes!"
"Miss Gu, how many years do you think he can live?" The old man's smile returned to his face and he asked Gu Lingqing.
Gu Lingqing glanced at the thin, aged Si Zhenguang and said slowly, "His body is severely aged and he has many hidden injuries. I can only guarantee him an additional three years of lifespan this time."
The old man pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "How many years can he live alone? Don't worry, as long as I am here, there is no need to extend the life of others."
Is this a case of allocating multiple opportunities to extend other people's lives to this old man?!
Gu Lingqing thought for a moment and said, "Five years."
After saying that, he explained, "I've said before that the spiritual energy in this world is too thin. Therefore, after draining a place of energy, it will take a long time for it to gradually recover."
"Okay, five years. Thank you for your help, Miss Gu." The old man nodded and said with a smile.
"Commander!" Si Zhenguang's old eyes were red and his mood was extremely complicated.
The old man reached out and patted Si Zhenguang on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Sorry, your retirement plan will be delayed for a few more years."
As the country's chief scientist and a true scientific researcher, he is very capable, has won numerous important awards internationally, and is also a top figure in the entire academic community.
Even though he is old now, no one can compare to him, let alone surpass him.
so……
"I am willing to work hard until my death!" Si Zhenguang showed a determined look. As long as he lives one day, he will work in this position until his death!
Gu Lingqing ate snacks silently, thinking to himself, "Don't be so sentimental, I was only exaggerating a little bit."
After all, things that are obtained too easily will never be cherished by others.
Moreover, if she could easily extend the life of an old man by several decades, wouldn't the outside world go crazy and line up to find her?
Also, if there is a first time, there will be a second time, and then we can just continue to live...
"Shall we start now?" Gu Lingqing asked.
"Okay!" the old man nodded.
"Thank you for your help." Si Zhenguang nodded to Gu Lingqing.
Gu Lingqing wiped his hands, took out two white jade bottles from his pocket and placed them on the stone table, saying with a smile, "Master Si, have a drink."
Si Zhenguang was stunned for a moment, and hope suddenly blossomed in his old eyes. He looked at the other white jade bottle and asked, "Is this bottle..."
Gu Lingqing nodded, "Yes, the other bottle is for the Director. You two will have one."
The old man was about to say he didn't need it, but Gu Lingqing said before he could say anything, "Although the effect of the liquid medicine is a little weaker, it can still heal hidden injuries in the body and has a certain effect of prolonging life. Of course, the quantity is not large."
"Mr. Si, just drink one portion. There's no use in having more."
Hearing the latter part, the old man smiled helplessly and said, "Well, thank you very much for your kindness, Miss Gu."
"I just don't want your next successor to fail to follow what you just said, so, Director, please postpone your retirement for a few years." Gu Lingqing curled his lips.
"Haha, okay." The old man shook his head and smiled.
Si Zhenguang also laughed excitedly, and looked at Gu Lingqing with eyes full of gratitude.
Gu Lingqing didn't say anything. After Si Zhenguang drank a bottle of medicine, she stood up and walked behind him.
As he raised his hand, a spiritual energy was attracted and slowly injected into Si Zhenguang's body.
The effect is still very obvious.
Within a few breaths, Si Zhenguang's face turned rosy, and a soft halo slowly flowed across his body.
As Gu Lingqing continued to slap and knead various parts of his body, he used his spiritual power to repair his aging meridians and muscles.
Gradually, the deep wrinkles on Si Zhenguang's face began to smooth out, and his cloudy old eyes became bright and clear.
The back that had become hunched due to long-term desk work slowly straightened up.
A man who was nearly ninety years old now looks like he is in his early eighties!
But this is only on the surface. In fact, Si Zhenguang's physical vitality is enough to allow him to live at least another ten years.
"I feel much better and feel like I'm many years younger!" Si Zhenguang said in amazement.
Looking at his old friend who had changed significantly, the old man's slightly cloudy eyes became brighter, and the breath that had been held in his heart was relieved.
Very magical!
It is worthwhile to use the opportunities of many people to help him achieve his goal!
The old man was extremely pleased, even happier than if his life had been extended.
Si Zhenguang's abilities are obvious to all. With him, he will surely lead the research team to develop even more powerful national treasures while also cultivating more scientific talents! China's overall national strength will surely be greatly improved in the future!
Gu Lingqing curled his lips slightly and made a "please" gesture to the old man, indicating that he should drink the other bottle of medicine on the table.
