"Hello." Lin Ziyan looked nervously at the old man in front of her.
Anyone would feel nervous seeing famous people in university textbooks, right?
Professor Ruan looked at the young girl with sharp eyes, his heart filled with doubt.
"Were these paper reagents prepared separately?" Professor Ruan sat on the stone stool by the door, having no intention of entering the courtyard.
The entrance was open, and people occasionally passed by. In this secluded little fishing village, it was best to be extra careful.
Lin Ziyan noticed his restraint, but didn't say much. She sat down on the stone stool opposite him and said, "That's right."
"It can detect more than a dozen types of bacteria that affect the gastrointestinal tract..."
Lin Ziyan gave a brief explanation, clearly stating the medications used.
Professor Ruan's brow twitched as he listened, thinking to himself, "Isn't this young girl afraid that she'll steal the formula?"
He quickly interrupted, "Comrade Lin, there's no need to be so explicit."
"Don't you know that the formula needs to be kept secret?"
Lin Ziyan smiled and said frankly, "I didn't develop this formula; I obtained it by chance."
"Since you've come all this way, there must be other uses for the recipe."
Professor Ruan's heart skipped a beat. Had she guessed it?
He does intend to apply the formula to the medical field, which could shorten testing time and even save lives in emergencies.
"That won't work either. I can't just take your formula for granted. You can make any requests you have, and I'll try my best to help you apply for it."
Lin Ziyan, "..."
She knew Professor Ruan was an upright person, but she didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
"Then help me apply for a buyout of the patent fee?" Lin Ziyan asked tentatively.
“But I still need this recipe to make ice,” Lin Ziyan added.
"Okay." Professor Ruan felt relieved and nodded with a smile.
The two chatted for a while longer before Professor Ruan reluctantly left.
He never expected that there would be such a visionary young girl in this small fishing village.
"Professor Ruan, shall we go back to the city now?" the teaching assistant asked.
He watched the direction Professor Ruan had walked, his eyelids trembling slightly.
"You go back first, I'm going to see an old friend, you don't need to come with me." Professor Ruan waved his hand behind him.
Guided by his memory, he walked to the gate of a small courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Old Man He!"
Professor Ruan stood at the door and called out.
A short while later, Old Man He came out of the house, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand.
He wore a linen shirt with Chinese knot buttons, paired with black casual shorts.
"Old Man Ruan? What are you doing here?" Old Man He saw who was at the door and hurriedly went out.
Professor Ruan walked into the courtyard and looked enviously at the fish pond on one side and the garden on the other.
At this time, individual businesses have only been approved for a few years, and every household grows vegetables and melons in their yard.
His thoughts shifted; the Lin family's yard also had flowers and grapevines, and the air was filled with a faint, sweet fragrance of grapes.
"I came here to find someone..." Professor Ruan recounted his visit to the Lin family.
He Zhou was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved.
"She was the top scorer in Fuzhou's college entrance examination last year and applied to Fuzhou Ocean University, but she had to suspend her studies due to a sudden change in her family situation."
Professor Ruan slapped his thigh. After hearing what his friend said, he had no more doubts.
There are many hidden talents among ordinary people; some people have a natural talent for medicine formulation and other related matters.
Since he was a top scorer in the college entrance examination, it's normal for him to have some knowledge of chemical reagents.
"That's strange. Why didn't someone with such talent apply to universities in Beijing?" Professor Ruan said, puzzled.
Generally, top scorers in the college entrance examination in each province would prioritize universities in Beijing.
"The young lady is studying aquaculture. Do universities in Beijing offer this major?"
Old Man He retorted directly.
Professor Ruan touched the tip of his nose. Well, he had indeed been thinking too narrowly.
"Where's your wife? Why isn't she home?" Professor Ruan had been sitting there for a long time without even having a sip of tea.
"I just went to visit the Lin family." Old Man He snorted lightly.
He went into the inner room and came out carrying an enamel kettle and cups.
The two went to a tree in the courtyard, sat on a stone bench, and prepared to have a cup of tea together.
"Old man Ruan, what's the attitude from above? Is the port going to be rebuilt?"
Old Man He drank a cup of tea before asking in a low voice.
Professor Ruan narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
“Everything is in need of rebuilding, and this is what we need right now…” He gestured with his hand.
Short of money, short of foreign exchange...
…
night,
The village came alive as children played games around the big tree.
The sounds of cicadas and frogs alternated incessantly, vying with each other to see who could shout the loudest.
A police car drove up to the village entrance and stopped.
Several uniformed police officers asked a few questions and were then led by the villagers to the front of the Lin family's courtyard.
Lin Ziyan had just finished clearing away the dishes and was about to take them into the sink to wash.
Several people in police uniforms suddenly appeared at the door. She frowned slightly, but didn't panic much.
"Hello, is Lin Ziyan here?" The team leader stepped forward, his expression serious.
"That's me."
Lin Ziyan glanced at the doorway, where a group of villagers had gathered, discussing the matter animatedly.
When Lin Atai came out of the inner room and saw several men in police uniforms, her heart jumped into her throat.
She wasn't there when the villagers told me that several testing staff members came last time, and it made me very nervous.
"Officers, please speak frankly." Lin Ziyan was not afraid of their sharp, scrutinizing gazes.
At this time, who isn't afraid of the police?
The villagers at the entrance just watched, not daring to speak too loudly.
Grandma Lin hurriedly stepped forward, shielding her granddaughter behind her, and straightened her back. "Officer, my granddaughter has never done anything illegal."
