Chapter 351
Because of the incident at the White Palace, there was a lot of discussion, but in some ways, the exchange meeting became strangely harmonious and even successfully concluded.
Even after Xiao Taohua and her husband swaggered out of the United States and their plane landed on Chinese soil, the group of people were still dealing with their internal conflicts.
It wasn't until Xiao Taohua had rested and went to the research institute again that the people in the United States remembered her and discovered that she had actually returned to China!
"Shit! Who let Lin Xiaotao come back to China?!"
"Sir, you didn't order anyone not to leave."
"Shit shit shit!"
"Then go to China and bring them back?"
"Are you an idiot? Do you think it's that easy to catch people in China? We could easily take them into custody in the US!"
"But everyone was busy when the White Palace was struck by lightning."
"Shit!" What a bad year! If this officer were Chinese, he would definitely use this idiom, but he isn't, yet his current mood is surprisingly well-suited to this idiom.
"Should we send in people who are already lurking there to carry out the operation?"
"Forget it, he's just someone who knows kung fu."
"Are you really going to give up?"
"What do you care? They're gone, so what? It's not like they're anything special."
"Yes, sir."
"Ha, those idiots. I believe that after being struck by lightning, I can go even further."
"Indeed, sir, you are wise and capable."
"Yes, you have a bright future."
"It's all thanks to the superior's guidance."
The superior was pleased with his subordinate's flattery. As for Lin Xiaotao, she was a person who knew some kung fu and was strong, so there was really no need to take her too seriously.
As for the earlier rumors that those who went to capture the other party never returned, that's definitely an exaggeration.
His main goal now is to compete with the group that came to power before. They didn't have the opportunity before, but now, well, no matter where you are, being struck by lightning won't make you a good person. So, even if those people are discharged from the hospital, they're just waiting to step down, and the positions are just right for them.
I have to say, it feels great to rise to the top without resorting to any tricks.
Xiao Taohua's return did not bring any changes to the research institute, but her sudden diligence after her return shocked everyone at the institute.
"Don't you really want to rest for a bit?"
"No need, I have another idea, we can..."
Seeing that Xiao Taohua was completely absorbed in the experiment, the person who originally wanted to rest had no choice but to bite the bullet and work overtime with her.
Although this person is the project manager.
Moreover, following Xiaotaohua's line of thought is surprisingly constructive, making one eager to see results quickly.
Hsiao Pei-chuan, who shot himself in the foot: ...
With a helpless wry smile, all he could do was provide logistical support. After all, his wife wanted far too many things, including advanced medical equipment, some of which were really difficult to obtain. Unless higher-ups intervened, they could only listen to the request or look at it another time. If she wanted it, there was no way they could get it.
However, Xiao Taohua's diligence pleased everyone at the research institute. With her participation, many projects became much easier. Indeed, in research, having a good brain is more important than anything else.
This busy period lasted for five years. After five years, Xiao Taohua, who was always on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She even applied to her superiors to retire early!
This application caught everyone off guard.
The institute's director quickly came over to try and persuade them: "You're still young, why are you thinking about retiring? Besides, you hold a very high position in the institute, and your retirement would have a huge impact. The institute can't do without you. And don't you want those advanced medical devices anymore? Those things are being updated every year."
The dean tried to reason with her earnestly, but Xiao Taohua was determined to leave: "I want to go home and have a baby."
The dean choked for a moment.
No, is that really the reason?
"But you were perfectly healthy during your last checkup." The next sentence was that you didn't have children. Keep in mind that the checkup was only done the day before yesterday; it's impossible for her to be pregnant right after the results came out.
This is unscientific.
Although the existence of the little peach blossom is itself unscientific.
But the world is still largely scientific.
Little Peach Blossom opened her bright, dark eyes. Over the years, her eyes have remained unchanged, still so clear.
The dean couldn't help but sigh when he met her gaze.
If we're talking about cleanliness, Little Peach Blossom is truly clean.
"Yes, I'm perfectly healthy, but I want to go home and have a baby."
“It’s fine at the research institute too.” The director decided to go along with this reason.
"But when the research institute gets too busy, it's not good to raise children."
The dean opened his mouth, but remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Taohua started counting on her fingers: "I'm 25 years old this year. I feel I can take on another life. Pei-chuan and I have agreed that after this project is over, I'll go home to recuperate and prepare for having a baby. My child must be healthy from beginning to end. Pei-chuan said that pregnancy will have a great impact on my body. If I hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have wanted the child. But my parents said that while I'm young, my body will recover better after the baby is born. And since we only want this one child, we need to be more careful and nip everything in the bud."
"Then there's no need to retire."
“Dean, it’s like this. Giving birth takes a year, and then there’s raising the child. I don’t want to be away from my child after she’s born. I need to teach her to walk and talk, and I also need to teach her principles. Although I feel like I can’t do that, there’s Pei Chuan. We also need to cultivate the child’s interests, which I think I can do. I can also be a good friend to the child. When you think about it all, I don’t have enough time.”
Dean: ...
Isn't it enough for a child to just be born and survive?
Then it will be delivered to the school at the appointed time.
As for teaching, you can teach at home after get off work.
But as Xiao Taohua recounted these fragmented details, the dean suddenly realized with some horror, "Is raising children really that difficult?"
"So, Dean, I really don't have time to continue my research." Little Peach Blossom continued to blink and stare at the Dean.
“You can give it to Pei-chuan, or to your parents or Pei-chuan’s parents. Most of my colleagues at the institute do it that way.”
"But I just want to stay with my child forever."
It doesn't make sense.
"Your parents agreed?"
"My parents definitely agreed."
Dean: ...
Honestly, although I knew that Peach Blossom was always a headache, I didn't expect there to be something even more troublesome.
"Your brain is a national asset; isn't it wrong to waste it like this?"
"But we've trained quite a few people over the years, and they're no worse than me," Little Peach Blossom said truthfully, adding that she had even personally taught some of them.
Therefore, Xiao Taohua is very clear about the capable people in the research institute!
