Chapter 90: Giving Too Much
Lin Yuanshu smiled guiltily. This was probably a white lie.
She chatted with the older women downstairs for more than half an hour before going upstairs to go home. As soon as she entered the door, she felt thirsty, so she quickly went to the living room to pour herself some water. She hadn't had a chance to drink a single drop of water while chatting with the reporter and the older women.
When Zhou Ma saw Lin Yuanshu, she said sarcastically, "Has the reporter left? I was hoping to chat with her a little longer, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance. Some people treat me like an outsider, guarding against me like I'm a thief."
Lin Yuanshu finished the water in his glass in one gulp, then slowly asked, "Mom, who's so bold as to treat you like an outsider?"
Aunt Zhou said angrily, "I'm talking about you."
Lin Yuanshu looked shocked and said, "Mom, why would you think that? I've never treated you like an outsider. You must have misunderstood."
Aunt Zhou sneered, "If you don't treat me like an outsider, then why did you call the reporter into the room?"
Lin Yuanshu said with an air of righteousness, "Because the room is quiet."
Aunt Zhou said expressionlessly, "Isn't it quiet in the living room?"
Lin Yuanshu said innocently, "It's quiet! But it's even quieter inside the room."
Zhou Ma: "..."
She felt like she was wasting her breath talking; she knew Lin Yuanshu liked to put on airs.
Aunt Zhou snorted coldly and chose to ignore Lin Yuanshu. She couldn't afford to offend him, so she chose to avoid him.
Meanwhile, Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather learned that Director Yu and others had finished training the health bureau cadres, and the work related to the health bureau had temporarily come to an end.
So he went to find Team Leader Lü and casually mentioned, "Hey, didn't you suggest to Director Yu that we transfer a capable female colleague here? Has that colleague been transferred yet? I haven't heard you mention it recently."
Upon hearing this, Team Leader Lü paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this. Director Yu said that once he confirmed that the female comrade's improved production process was working properly, he would apply to the higher-ups for a transfer. I'm not too clear about what happened after that. But then again, the female comrade hasn't been transferred yet, probably because Director Yu is too busy!"
Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather said with a smile, "I see. It's good that it wasn't Team Leader Bai who interfered."
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Upon hearing this, Team Leader Lü's expression changed instantly. He suddenly realized and said, "That's not necessarily true. Director Yu is always decisive and efficient. Team Leader Bai must have said something to prevent Director Yu from applying for a transfer with the higher-ups. Team Leader Bai just doesn't want me to get what I want."
Zhu Huilan's grandfather quickly reassured her, "I just said it casually, please don't take it to heart, and don't misunderstand Team Leader Bai. Why don't you go and ask Director Yu for clarification?"
Team Leader Lü nodded in a bad mood, then turned and left.
Zhu Huilan's grandfather's lips curled up slightly as he watched Team Leader Lü's retreating figure. With Team Leader Lü's help, Lin Yuanshu would surely be able to enter the research institute soon.
Originally, it would have been most appropriate for Team Leader Bai to bring this up, but Team Leader Bai might not want Lin Yuanshu to join the research institute. After all, Lin Yuanshu had accomplished what Team Leader Bai had not, and Lin Yuanshu's existence was undoubtedly a thorn in Team Leader Bai's side.
Faced with Team Leader Lü's doubts, Director Yu naturally took all the blame upon himself, saying that he was simply too busy and had inadvertently forgotten about the matter.
He couldn't reveal his conversation with Team Leader Bai, lest it further worsen the relationship between Team Leader Lü and Team Leader Bai. Although he tried to improve their relationship, it had little effect.
Team Leader Lü left the office with some doubt. Director Yu had already admitted his negligence, so what else could he say?
No sooner had Team Leader Lü left than Team Leader Bai entered the office.
Director Yu raised an eyebrow. If he didn't know that the two of them didn't get along, he would have suspected that they had conspired to cause him trouble.
Team Leader Bai tentatively inquired, "I just saw Team Leader Lü walk out of your office. Has his research made new progress?"
Director Yu truthfully replied, "No, he came to inquire about Comrade Lin Yuanshu's transfer."
Team Leader Bai breathed a sigh of relief, but then said sarcastically, "He really cares about this matter."
Director Yu explained on behalf of Team Leader Lü: "The worker-peasant-soldier college students who were assigned here last year still lack some ability. If we want them to be able to take on responsibilities independently, we need to train them more. Team Leader Lü also wants to introduce new technical talents to the institute, which is why he is paying special attention to it. How did you do in your assessment of Comrade Lin Yuanshu's character?"
Team Leader Bai looked remorseful and said apologetically, "I was busy helping the first batch of pilot pharmaceutical factories improve their production processes and forgot about this task. I will go and investigate Comrade Lin Yuanshu's character in a moment, and I should be able to get the results soon."
He cursed Team Leader Lü in his heart for stirring up trouble. He had finally managed to get Director Yu to forget about it, but Team Leader Lü brought it up again. Team Leader Lü was really going to any lengths to annoy him. That's why he didn't want Lin Yuanshu to enter the research institute and become a weapon in Team Leader Lü's hands.
Seeing the guilty expression on Team Leader Bai's face, Director Yu didn't think much of it and said with a smile, "It's alright, you can still do it now. I'll wait for your results. By the way, what brings you here?"
Team Leader Bai said seriously, "Since Comrade Lin Yuanshu has already improved the production process of sulfadiazine, I think it would be meaningless for us to continue to study and improve the production process of sulfadiazine. We can't possibly improve it better than Comrade Lin Yuanshu. So I thought it would be better to study the production process of acetaminophen first."
Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, has antipyretic and analgesic effects and fewer side effects than aminopyrine. However, due to limited production technology and capacity, it has not been widely adopted.
Director Yu frowned and said, "I remember that the Dongfanghong Research Institute is also researching related improvements to acetaminophen."
Team Leader Bai quickly explained, "Our research directions are different. They mainly want to reduce costs, while I want to study how to reduce side effects."
Director Yu nodded thoughtfully. "Since you've made your decision, I won't say anything more. You're not a newcomer to the institute anymore, so you can handle it yourself!"
"Okay, I know what to do. I promise I won't let you down. This was just an accident. I'll work on it as soon as possible and get results," Team Leader Bai said confidently.
Afterwards, Team Leader Bai left Director Yu's office, returned to the laboratory, and then called Li Jia into his office.
Li Jia looked at Team Leader Bai expectantly and asked, "Is there anything you need me to do?"
Team Leader Bai was very satisfied with Li Jia's performance; at least she didn't appear timid or hesitant. He gestured for Li Jia to close the office door.
Li Jia swallowed hard, her mind a complete blank. Why did she have to close the office door when she was just talking? But her desire to become a researcher overcame her fear, and she decisively closed the door.
Team Leader Bai said with a serious expression, "Do you remember Comrade Lin Yuanshu whom we met at the Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant before? I want you to collect information on her, find out her shortcomings, or find something to hold against her."
Li Jia's expression was complicated. She had never done anything like this before. She asked weakly, "What if she doesn't have any flaws or weaknesses?"
Team Leader Bai was stunned for a moment. He instantly realized that he had found the wrong person. He hadn't expected that Li Jia, who seemed ambitious, was actually not very bright. The college students assigned to the company now were really getting worse with each generation.
If Li Jia hadn't overheard his conversation with Team Leader Lü and known that he didn't approve of Lin Yuanshu joining the research institute, he wouldn't have assigned this task to Li Jia.
"Don't you know that you can just fabricate a flaw or a weakness?" Team Leader Bai questioned.
Li Jia could see the disappointment in Team Leader Bai, so she took a deep breath and answered loudly, "I understand."
Team Leader Bai waved to Li Jia, indicating that she could leave the office.
After leaving the office, Li Jia suddenly lost her spirits. This task was not what she had imagined. She thought she would only need to do things related to her major, but she did not expect to have to do something that did not seem like something a proper person would do.
Fortunately, in her interactions with her parents, she learned the art of language. It's hard to find a real flaw, but it's easy to overcome a flaw that's just made up. Just like her parents, when they love her, they call her a good girl; when they don't love her, they call her a money-loser.
A strong personality can be described as domineering and unreasonable, or as decisive and resolute, or as efficient and efficient.
It mainly depends on what the person speaking thinks! As for illegal or criminal activities, she would never dare to do them.
She hadn't expected that the plan Team Leader Bai had mentioned would require her to take action personally. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have accompanied Team Leader Bai to Jishi Pharmaceutical Factory in the first place. It was truly a case of one wrong step leading to another.
Li Jia believed she was secretly investigating Lin Yuanshu, but in reality, her every move was being reported to Lin Yuanshu by A Chun.
Lin Yuanshu had no idea what Li Jia was up to, but considering that Li Jia worked at the research institute and hadn't done anything else besides investigating him, he guessed that the institute was conducting a background check on him.
So she let Li Jia's behavior go unchecked, didn't expose the matter, and instead provided Li Jia with various forms of assistance.
Li Jia had worked hard for two days but hadn't found any flaws or weaknesses in Lin Yuanshu, which she was already mentally prepared for.
Lin Yuanshu went from being an unemployed "half-household" to becoming a team leader at the Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant, responsible for such a large task as renovating the production workshop.
If she didn't have some tricks up her sleeve, how could she have gotten to where she is now? Truly smart people don't leave any dirt on others!
Just as Li Jia was trying to find fault with Lin Yuanshu, the Youth Daily published its latest issue, and Lin Yuanshu's name appeared on the first page with the headline, "Knowledge Has No End - A Story of Comrade Lin Yuanshu's Struggle."
Ever since the reporter's interview ended, the elderly women in the tenement building have been eagerly awaiting the newspaper's release. As soon as they learned of its release, they immediately went and bought a large number of copies, since newspapers can not only be read but also used.
After reading the newspaper, Aunt Wen and the others were very disappointed. Aunt Hua said dejectedly, "That reporter was just fooling us. Our names weren't mentioned at all. Not only were our names not mentioned, but he also praised Aunt Zhou as a good mother-in-law who supports her daughter-in-law's work. It's completely different from what we heard."
Aunt Wen grumbled, "The moment I saw that reporter's face, I knew she was no pushover. This is utter nonsense."
The neighboring aunties were furious about the contents of the newspaper, but Zhou's mother was still quite happy, after all, she had been praised. Although the whole article was about Lin Yuanshu and there was only one sentence about herself, it was still something to be happy about.
She carefully placed the newspapers into the wooden box to prevent them from getting damp and moldy. She planned to take these newspapers into her coffin. She was an officially recognized good mother-in-law, and now who would dare to say that she wasn't?
Although Lin Yuanshu didn't buy a newspaper right away, Zhou Moli brought her one and said with a smile, "Now, our Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant is going to become famous in Beijing."
Lin Yuanshu looked down and flipped through the newspaper. The article written by the reporter was quite touching. It mainly talked about her and Engineer Tian's unremitting efforts. Even when they encountered difficulties, they never thought of giving up. It also talked about the support and encouragement given to them by the leaders of Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant. With everyone's joint efforts, they finally completed the task of improving the sulfadiazine production process.
She may seem like the main character, but in reality, everyone is a main character; she is just the thread that connects them all.
Lin Yuanshu was very satisfied with the manuscript, as it acknowledged her contributions without drawing all the attention to her.
“Our Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant was already quite famous in Beijing. After all, it was the first chemical plant in Beijing to be converted into a pharmaceutical factory. It’s just that it’s more famous now.” Lin Yuanshu replied, putting down the newspaper in his hand.
Zhou Moli gave a thumbs up, full of admiration, and said, "You're so calm. When I saw this newspaper, I was so excited! I never thought my name would appear in the newspaper. My parents are even planning to frame this newspaper. This is a great honor for the family. I'm really grateful to you for remembering me during the interview. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have thought of all that..."
Lin Yuanshu blinked and said seriously, "Although I am in charge, without you, this plan would not have been completed so smoothly. I am just telling the truth."
Zhou Moli hugged Lin Yuanshu with a look of deep emotion.
When Director Qian and the others saw the newspaper, they felt a mix of emotions. Like Zhou Moli, they hadn't expected Lin Yuanshu to mention them during the interview. Although they knew that Lin Yuanshu had been interviewed by the Youth Daily, they didn't expect that their story was involved.
At this moment, in their eyes, Lin Yuanshu was the epitome of selfless dedication. Some people had previously said that Lin Yuanshu's "individualism" was too obvious, but now it seemed that they were talking nonsense. "Individualism" would not lead to such a thing.
With such a great honor, the leaders naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to publicize it. They had the publicity department write several articles about their appearance in the Youth Daily, which were published in the factory newspaper and circulated throughout the factory.
As a result, the workers at the chemical plant all knew that Director Qian and Lin Yuanshu were in the newspaper, and they all rushed to buy copies of the *Youth Daily*.
look.
The honors bestowed upon leaders, if rounded up, are equivalent to their honors.
The workers all admired Lin Yuanshu very much, thinking that he was very capable, not only able to transform the chemical plant into a pharmaceutical plant, but also able to improve the production process of sulfadiazine.
They now admire Lin Yuanshu immensely, believing there's nothing she can't do, and are also grateful that Lin Yuanshu works at their factory instead of being poached by the pharmaceutical company.
Thinking of this, the workers gave Deputy Director Lu another good scolding. Because of his misunderstanding, they almost kicked Lin Yuanshu out of the chemical plant, and they wouldn't have the good life they have today.
When Engineer Tian saw the newspaper, tears streamed down his face.
His colleague quickly comforted him, saying, "I know it's great to be in the newspaper, but you don't have to be so happy that you're crying!"
Engineer Tian shook his head, his face filled with sorrow, and said, "I'm not crying tears of joy, I'm crying tears of guilt. I've let Comrade Lin Yuanshu down."
My colleague looked shocked and quickly asked, "What did you do to offend Comrade Lin Yuanshu? I promise I won't tell anyone. No one can keep a secret better than me."
Engineer Tian opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. For the sake of Jishi Pharmaceutical Factory's reputation, he didn't tell Comrade Lin Yuanshu about Deputy Director Lu's scheme, so that Comrade Lin Yuanshu could be wary of Deputy Director Lu.
Comrade Lin Yuanshu was still thinking of him. Even when interviewed by a reporter from the Youth Daily, he did not forget to mention his contributions. He had previously even had the idea of taking credit from Comrade Lin Yuanshu.
From now on, he really has no face to see Comrade Lin Yuanshu.
My colleague lowered his head in disappointment; it seemed he wouldn't be able to get any more information.
The residents of Beijing were also very happy to see the newspaper, since the improved production process of sulfadiazine meant that more sulfadiazine-related drugs could be produced, and they would no longer have to worry about not having enough medicine if they got meningitis.
I also have some impression of Lin Yuanshu, after all, it's rare to see such a capable woman.
Lin Yuanshu really didn't know that a newspaper could make so many people have new ideas about her.
For her, there was no difference between her life before and after being featured in the newspaper; it was still the same routine of going to work and going home.
On the other side, Zhu Huilan's grandfather asked Team Leader Lü again about the transfer of Comrade Lin Yuanshu. He just couldn't understand why such a small matter had been dragging on for so long!
Team Leader Lü shook his head helplessly and said softly, "This matter is probably hopeless. I heard that Director Yu found out that the female comrade was not proactive in her work and only cared about her personal gains and losses, not the collective interests. No matter how capable that female comrade is, it's useless."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather angrily said, "What utter nonsense! This is utter rubbish! I know what kind of person Comrade Lin Yuanshu is! What Director Yu said has absolutely nothing to do with Comrade Lin Yuanshu."
Team Leader Lü looked at Zhu Huilan's grandfather with a puzzled expression and comforted him, "I know you, like me, admire this woman's work ability, but this matter is already settled. We don't need to anger the director for this woman and do something that would be counterproductive."
Zhu Huilan's grandfather gritted his teeth and said, "This must be the work of Team Leader Bai. Only he would not want Comrade Lin Yuanshu to enter the research institute. No, I have to go and explain to Director Yu."
He no longer cared about concealing his identity; if he continued to hide it, she would lose all her students.
Team Leader Lü originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when he heard that it was related to Team Leader Bai, he decided to get involved, since he wasn't the one leading the charge.
The two went to Director Yu's office together, where Zhu Huilan's grandfather placed today's "Youth Daily" on Director Yu's desk.
He explained anxiously, “There must be some misunderstanding. Comrade Lin Yuanshu is not the kind of person who only cares about personal gains and losses and disregards the collective interest. If she were really that kind of person, she wouldn’t have mentioned the other people at Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant when she was interviewed by reporters. If she wasn’t proactive in her work, how could she have improved the sulfadiazine production process in just two months? If two months is considered a lack of proactive work, then what about Team Leader Bai’s year-long effort?”
Team Leader Lü casually chimed in, "That's right! You can find out about this by asking anyone. Someone must have misled you, which is why you have this wrong idea."
Director Yu frowned and said, "It shouldn't be like that. Team Leader Bai also admires Comrade Lin Yuanshu and hopes that Comrade Lin Yuanshu can join the research institute. How could he possibly mislead me!"
Team Leader Lü said confidently, "Team Leader Bai just likes to put on an act. He doesn't want Comrade Lin Yuanshu to enter the research institute at all. I told him about my idea before, and he clearly expressed his disagreement."
Director Yu looked very troubled, because the report submitted by Team Leader Bai did not seem fake. The events described in the report were things that Comrade Lin Yuanshu had done, and it was not fabricated out of thin air.
Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather couldn't help but reveal, "Comrade Lin Yuanshu learned all her knowledge about pharmaceuticals from me. You may not know what kind of person she is, but I know her well! She was wronged."
Director Yu looked at Zhu Huilan's grandfather with a shocked expression and asked, "Why didn't you step forward when I was looking for you at the research institute before?"
Team Leader Lü also looked at Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather with a shocked gaze. He did not expect that Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather was the researcher who taught that female comrade about pharmaceutical knowledge. No wonder he cared so much about that female comrade's affairs. It turned out that they were family!
Zhu Huilan's grandfather said expressionlessly, "I just did what I was supposed to do. There's nothing to praise about it. This is Comrade Lin Yuanshu's achievement, and it has little to do with me. Even without me, she could still improve the sulfadiazine production process. These are not the main points. The main point is that Comrade Lin Yuanshu is an outstanding talent. She is fully qualified to enter the research institute. If any problems arise later, I am willing to take full responsibility."
Director Yu glanced at Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather, tapped the table with his hand, and finally said slowly, "Both sides have their own reasons. I don't want your relationship with Team Leader Bai to deteriorate because of Comrade Lin Yuanshu. I will investigate her entry into the research institute before making a decision."
Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather felt powerless against Director Yu's procrastination. He was not afraid of anything except that his efforts would be in vain.
He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, I'll wait for your investigation results."
Then Zhu Huilan's grandfather stormed out of the office, and Team Leader Lü quickly chased after him.
Director Yu was also very troubled. He was torn between two equally beloved people, and in this situation, he didn't know who was lying! If Zhu Huilan's grandfather had stepped forward earlier, none of this would have happened.
As the sun rose and set, the day passed. After the get off work bell rang, Lin Yuanshu tidied up the documents on his desk and prepared to leave work. As soon as he pushed open the office door, he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a faded Zhongshan suit standing outside.
Lin Yuanshu looked at the man with a puzzled expression and asked, "Who are you? Are you here to see me?"
She could tell from the man's clothes and demeanor that he was not a worker. In those days, the difference between cadres and workers was so obvious that you didn't even need to guess from their clothes.
Huang Zhongliang introduced himself with a smile: "Comrade Lin Yuanshu, hello. I am Huang Zhongliang, the director of Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute. I have come here to see you."
Lin Yuanshu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly invited Huang Zhongliang into his office and prepared to make him some hot tea.
Huang Zhongliang quickly stopped him, saying, "No need for that. I don't like drinking water outside. I'll just say a few words and leave."
Lin Yuanshu didn't stand on ceremony. He stopped what he was doing, sat down opposite Huang Zhongliang, and asked curiously, "Director Huang, what brings you here?"
Huang Zhongliang smiled slightly and said in a serious tone, "I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll just get straight to the point. Are you interested in working at the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute? With your abilities, staying at the Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant would be a waste of your talents. If you come to our institute, I guarantee you will have the opportunity to show your skills. In fact, ever since the news of your improvement of the sulfadiazine production process came out, I have been paying attention to you. I thought you would go to the First Pharmaceutical Research Institute in Beijing. I didn't expect that Director Yu has not made any move. It seems that they have already given up on you, while our institute warmly welcomes you."
Lin Yuanshu looked very troubled. She said in a sincere tone, "Director Huang, since you are so frank, I won't play any games with you. I'll just tell you the truth. I need to think about it. This matter happened too suddenly. I have never considered this issue. Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant is still undergoing adjustments. I can't just abandon it like this. My teacher who taught me pharmaceutical knowledge is at the First Research Institute. I need to seek his opinion. I can't just agree to your request like this."
Huang Zhongliang was not angry at Lin Yuanshu's refusal. He said solemnly, "Of course I understand your concerns. Regarding the adjustment of the Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant, the production area will probably be renovated next month. The subsequent renovation of the entire plant will not have much to do with you. Our research institute can transfer you over after the Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant production area is renovated."
Lin Yuanshu fell into deep thought; she felt that Director Huang was quite eloquent.
Huang Zhongliang continued, "As for your teacher, that's even simpler. No teacher doesn't want their students to succeed. Although our Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute has been established for less than twenty years, we are developing very well. We are currently building staff apartments, which are almost finished. If you are willing to work at Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute, you will have an apartment in one of the buildings. You won't need to start as an intern; you will be an assistant researcher directly and can be responsible for small projects. Our institute's canteen is also short of a chef, so your spouse can come along too."
No joke, he greatly admired Comrade Lin Yuanshu's work ability, feeling that Comrade Lin Yuanshu was as resilient as a weed. In such a rudimentary environment as the Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant, he was able to improve the sulfadiazine production process. His work ability was beyond question.
Moreover, before improving the sulfadiazine production process, she had already received the title of "Technical Innovation Expert" from the Chemical Industry Bureau. Therefore, her achievements were not a fluke, nor were they a flash in the pan; they were supported by real skills.
If he hadn't recognized Lin Yuanshu's abilities, he wouldn't have given him such generous treatment.
Most importantly, the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute needs a young and capable researcher. The interns assigned by the higher-ups in recent years have been quite disappointing. They have a good learning attitude and pass the basic knowledge test, but they lack innovation.
If this were a school, they would certainly be good students based on their attitude and foundation alone. But this is a research institute, which needs researchers who can make independent breakthroughs and have innovative abilities, not a group of students who need to be trained from scratch. They don't have that much time and energy to teach a group of interns.
Lin Yuanshu's heart pounded wildly after hearing Director Huang's words. She really wanted to refuse without hesitation, but Director Huang was offering too much: an apartment in a building, a position as an assistant researcher, a monthly salary of about one hundred, and the opportunity to be in charge of small projects without having to work as an assistant to the researchers.
Even Director Qian wouldn't give her so many things.
Moreover, some projects can only be researched in medical research institutes because only medical research institutes have advanced research equipment, sufficient research funding, and a large amount of relevant data.
She certainly wouldn't be able to freely research the drugs she wanted to study while staying at the Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant.
Besides, she doesn't owe Hongguang Dye Chemical Factory anything. There's no need for her to give up her future for Hongguang Dye Chemical Factory and stay here now.
Although she was reluctant to part with Zhou Moli and the others, she hadn't left Beijing, so there were still opportunities to meet them.
Lin Yuanshu swallowed hard, reluctantly declining the offer. "I'll discuss it with my teacher tonight and give you an answer tomorrow."
Huang Zhongliang saw Lin Yuanshu's wavering and admired her willpower in the face of temptation. If it were him when he was young, he would have agreed long ago. How could he still be thinking about other people!
After meeting Lin Yuanshu, he admired Lin Yuanshu more and more. Only a person with such a firm mind can go further and further on the road of research.
People who know how to be grateful are always better than those who don't!
