Uncle Zou forced a smile.
It was indeed delayed.
Many people like to say things like "a man's maturity at 30" and "great success comes late in life," but Uncle Zou knows these sayings are wrong when it comes to scientific research. True talent always shines early, being selected in their teens, gaining entry into high-end research circles in their twenties, and reaching their prime years of achievement between 30 and 40. His son, Zou Yishen, is 27 now. Even if he were willing to return now, after all these years, his peers who joined the research institute at the same time, even if they didn't produce anything, have probably found their own path.
If Zou Yishen looks back again, the institute will not want him.
Thinking of this, Uncle Zou felt even more uncomfortable, and the only smile on his face could not be maintained.
Uncle Zou felt that he was of no use at all.
It is precisely because he is useless that he is unable to fight against the powerful Xie family.
It was precisely because he was useless that he was unable to stop his son Zou Yishen from giving up scientific research and returning to China to join the system - because he could not uphold the reputation of the Zou family, his son Zou Yishen had to take action himself!
Guilt and regret gnawed at Uncle Zou's heart.
He knows.
He knew it a long time ago.
I know why Zou Yishen returned to China and why he chose to join the system. In recent years, Uncle Zou hasn't really disliked his own son; he's disliked himself—he understands everything but can't do anything about it. This is the root of Uncle Zou's pain.
The living room was silent.
There are no stupid people in the Zou family.
Uncle Zou knew why Zou Yishen made such a choice, and the Zou family naturally knew it too. The Zou family also knew Uncle Zou's knot in their heart.
Xie Qian couldn't say anything.
Xie Qian was in the most difficult situation as he was caught between the Xie family and the Zou family.
Xie Jinghu is a beast, but the rest of the Xie family is not. The Xie family may have some ulterior motives towards Zou Weijun, but they are 100% genuinely good to Xie Qian.
At this time, Wen Ying was the only one who was not leaning towards either side and could use the excuse of being "young" to say something.
"I don't think my cousin's education and talent will be wasted. His education isn't just for others to see; it's proof of his years of hard work. If he wants to continue doing scientific research, his education is his stepping stone. Even though he's not doing research anymore, his education is still the foundation that allows him to progress faster than others."
Wen Ying was very good at communicating with clients when she was a lawyer, and sometimes it was even a pleasure to listen to her talk.
Uncle Zou couldn't help but be moved by Wen Ying's emotions: "Faster progress? That's also a waste..."
In 2004, Zou Yishen returned to China and joined the system as a highly educated talent. His starting point was higher than that of ordinary people, and he was promoted very quickly.
But this doesn't make Uncle Zou happy.
Wen Ying's eyes widened, a look of confusion on her face. "How can this be a waste? My cousin just doesn't do scientific research anymore, but everything he learned will always be there! His way of thinking, his professional foundation... If my cousin is transferred to a suitable position in the future, with his talent and foundation, if he can make the final decision, perhaps his contribution will be greater than if he did scientific research alone?"
You don't have to do scientific research yourself.
If Zou Yishen can take control of the overall situation in the future, such a knowledgeable leader who can grasp the general direction and direct everyone to do a certain research will have a much greater chance of producing results than a leader who is ignorant and likes to give random orders!
Wen Ying stunned Uncle Zou.
This is a direction Uncle Zou has never thought of.
According to Wen Ying, as long as Zou Yishen does not forget his original intention, he can achieve results no matter which path he takes.
But if you work in a place like that and are influenced by the entire environment day by day, can you really keep your original intention in mind?
Uncle Zou was very conflicted.
Wen Ying muttered, "Even if my cousin doesn't encounter such an opportunity and can't contribute to scientific research, with his abilities, he can still help many people, right? Promoting even a small amount of scientific progress is a success. Enabling the residents of a village or town to live a better life than before, isn't that also a success?"
Uncle Zou was completely stunned.
Grandma Zou's voice was a little gloomy, "Big Boss, you're not as clear-headed as a little girl like Wen Ying. If your father were still alive, he would definitely like Wen Ying very much and would definitely respect Yi Shen's choice."
Uncle Zou was speechless, standing there feeling ashamed and uneasy.
Professor Zou is indeed such a person.
Wen Ying felt two pairs of eyes falling on her, one was Xie Qian and the other was Zou Yishen.
Zou Yishen was a man of integrity, and didn't care what his father said. But if Wen Ying could help his father understand and stop worrying about the guilt, Zou Yishen would naturally feel more at ease.
Grandma Zou wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Uncle Zou who was stuck in a dead end. Zou Yishen turned to Xie Qian and said, "The sunset on Qiong Island is beautiful. I'll drive you two for a ride?"
Xie Qian asked Wen Ying for her opinion: "Do you want to go, or do you want to go back to the hotel and rest and go tomorrow?"
Wen Ying felt that Zou Yishen might have something to say to Xie Qian, so she certainly wouldn't refuse: "Go, go, go and take a look now. My cousin's recommendation won't be wrong!"
Zou Yishen couldn't help laughing again.
What a lovely and smart girl. God has been good to cousin Xie Qian.
While Xie Qian thought Wen Ying was a little flatterer, he was also very happy: Hamster really likes him so much, it's so cute that he loves everyone else too.
