In S City, progress on air conditioning is finally showing initial results.
It was supposed to take some more time, but this morning, after receiving a phone call, Old Li fell silent instantly…
She even questioned them, saying, "What are you suspecting? If she really had a problem, she'd probably be doing business at a loss..."
Old Li is known for his good temper; it's not easy to make him angry.
But now, his hand holding the microphone was trembling, and his chest heaved with anger…
"Professor Li, we understand your concerns, but this is a normal procedure for investigation and isolation. Please cooperate with our work, okay?"
Old Li slammed down the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone wore a wry smile; he could understand Professor Li's thoughts.
Old Li remained silent in his office for a long time. Normally, he would have gone to his research workshop long ago, but now...
He sat there for an unknown amount of time before his secretary, who was responsible for him, knocked on the door anxiously to inquire. Only then did Mr. Li come to his senses, wave his hand, and say, "I'm fine, let's go to the workroom..."
When Old Li entered the workroom, his gaze fell on Fan Xiaofan, who was surrounded by a group of people. She seemed to be glowing, obediently and generously answering everyone's questions without reservation...
These days, thanks to the children's help, Tso hasn't been completely overwhelmed and clueless...
But now...
He didn't even know how he could bring himself to say what was coming next.
Old Li was usually gentle and approachable, but today, he couldn't force a smile and had a stern face, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Fan Xiaofan looked at Elder Li with some confusion. If she wasn't mistaken, Elder Li's gaze was fixed on her, as if he had something to say but couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Professor, you look a bit off today. Is something the matter?"
It was rare to see Old Li with such an expression, and even those who were working non-stop paused for a moment, asking with concern.
Fan Xiaofan pointed to himself: "What does this have to do with me?"
Old Li closed his eyes with difficulty...
"Xiao Fan, come out with me for a moment..."
It was like a drop of water getting into a pot of oil, immediately causing a huge uproar. Fan Xiaofan followed Elder Li out, and the others, no longer in the mood for work, started discussing what had happened and what Elder Li's expression had to do with Xiaofan.
Fan Xiaofan followed Elder Li outside.
Looking at her, Old Li finally managed to say what he had been holding back, his voice dry and strained: "Xiao Fan, don't worry about what I'm about to say. We all believe in you. Family matters shouldn't be a reason to drag you down."
Fan Xiaofan was still a little confused. What was wrong?
Why did Old Li's expression look so heavy and serious?
"What exactly happened? Can you tell me?"
She asked.
Old Li closed his eyes briefly: "Xiao Fan, something's happened with your parents. I don't know the specifics, but it involves you, and you're going to be investigated and quarantined. I'm afraid you won't be able to participate in any research work going forward..."
Not only in current air conditioning research, but also in other areas, Fan Xiaofan cannot participate in any research until the investigation is completed, in order to ensure safety.
Fan Xiaofan was stunned. There was a problem between her father and Zhou Xuehua. Given Zhou Xuehua's favoritism, they were bound to fight sooner or later. She didn't care much about it, but not being allowed to investigate was like a bird having its wings broken...
