A good scientific researcher must have excellent abilities, a calm mind, and perseverance. Simply put, he or she must be able to achieve results, endure loneliness, and keep his or her original intention.
In Chen Xi's opinion, Su Qingyun is a good candidate for scientific research and can be well cultivated.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Qingyun, have you ever thought about pursuing a career in scientific research? You're very suitable for it."
Su Qingyun was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect her to ask this question. This time she nodded without hesitation, "I have thought about it."
Chen Xi was a little surprised by her quick response. "If you have such an idea, you can choose to develop in this direction in the future. You are very talented. I believe those research institutes will be vying for you."
Qin Ying and Su Aimin standing by had complicated expressions on their faces, not knowing what they were thinking about.
Wu Xiangdong just came out with some dishes. When he heard Chen Xi's words, he smiled and said, "Well, Qingyun is just a child. Your job is hard and tiring. How could Yingzi and the others bear to let her go?"
He is also a parent, so he naturally knows what Qin Ying and the others are thinking.
"I didn't say now." Chen Xi said.
"Thank you for the compliment, aunt." Su Qingyun smiled, "But I still want to wait until I graduate from high school before making a decision." By that time, the domestic situation will have undergone earth-shaking changes, and she will have the freedom to choose any path she wants.
"Okay." Chen Xi nodded, thinking it was no problem. After all, he was still young, and it would be good to wait for a few more years for his temperament to settle down.
"Stop chatting and get ready for dinner." Wu Xiangdong said.
Chen Xi stood up and said, "I'll go serve the dishes."
As soon as the family put the dishes on the table and sat down, Wu Chengcang came back and was surprised to see Su Qingyun's family.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. We're waiting for you." Xia Rong said.
"immediately!"
Wu Chengcang quickly came over and sat down. He looked at Su Qingyun with a loving expression on his face, and his tone softened eight degrees. "Qingyun, you're back so soon? How do you feel about competing abroad?"
"It's pretty good." Su Qingyun said with a smile, "It's just that I'm not used to the food. I miss Grandma Rong's cooking."
Xia Rong was so happy when she heard this, "If you want to eat, eat more. I see that you have indeed lost a little weight. Come on, eat this fish and that, they are all your favorites."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma Rong."
"Qingyun, our company has received a notice about the commendation meeting the day after tomorrow," Wu Xiangdong said with a smile. "Everyone is discussing it. I told them you're my niece, and they were envious."
Wu Chengcang snorted, "Xiangdong, you dare to use Qingyun's reputation to flatter yourself outside? How shameless!"
Wu Xiangdong: “…”
"Grandpa," Wu Jiayan said, taking a bite of his rice. "You were the same yesterday, walking around the entire compound with the newspaper, saying something to everyone you saw, even to Aunt Gui's dog."
Wu Xiangdong looked at his father instantly, "Dad, you still have the nerve to say that to me?"
Wu Chengcang: "..."
Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter. Wu Chengcang felt a little embarrassed when his grandson saw through his little secret. He glared at him unhappily, "Even eating can't stop you from talking, right?"
"When will you be as good as Qingyun? I will be the same. No, I will not only show off in the compound, I will go out and show off to everyone in the capital."
Wu Jiayan curled his lips, "Then there might not be such a day."
"Can you have some ambition, kid?" Wu Chengcang blew his beard and glared.
"This isn't a question of ambition; it's called self-awareness," Wu Jiayan said confidently. "Grandpa, look in all of China—no, in the entire world—how many people like Qingyun are there? Aren't you putting me in a difficult position?"
Can he compete with others? To say that Wu Jiayan might have had some confidence during the previous invention competition, but now, he is truly convinced and has no temper at all.
Wu Chengcang was choked and speechless.
"Grandpa, you often said that my dad's personality has reached the point where he is today, and that it's all thanks to the smoke rising from our Wu family's grave. Now that it's my generation, the grave can't keep rising forever."
Wu Xiangdong: “…”
"Why are you dragging me into this again?"
Both families laughed, and while they were having a great time, there was a cold atmosphere in the Lu family not far away from them.
After the last incident, Lu Ying felt resentful towards Lu Cheng after being forced to apologize by Lu Cheng, and she no longer insisted. She followed Chen Lizhen back to Chen's house. Naturally, Lu Cheng no longer had to stay in the dormitory every day, so he moved back home.
He looked at the documents issued by his superiors, his face looked grim and he had a headache.
"'Regarding the Commendation Conference for the Chinese Team Winning the International Mathematics Competition', the specific process is as follows..." Lu Cheng read out the title of the document with a look of sarcasm on his face.
He never imagined that Qin Ying's rebellious daughter could actually win the championship in an international competition, nor did he expect that her results would be so outstanding. What he didn't expect was that this commendation meeting was actually organized jointly by the Propaganda Department and their Organization Department.
Lu Cheng is the second-in-command of the Organization Department. Of course, he has to review the documents when they are issued.
At this moment, he only felt a pent-up anger in his heart. Su Qingyun was now famous throughout the country, and even the mathematics community around the world had heard of her. She was now the darling of that group of researchers, and the higher-ups also valued her very much. Even if he wanted to touch her again, it would be impossible, and he would have to go through his hands to hold a commendation meeting for her. Lu Cheng just felt aggrieved.
He looked at the item on the document where the parent representative's speech was required. Qin Ying's name was prominently displayed, and Lu Cheng found it extremely dazzling. He closed his eyes, thinking that out of sight, out of mind, he would not be bothered. He clenched his back teeth, so that his jaw was tense and his face looked stern.
This family is really great. Lu Cheng could almost foresee how ironic and embarrassing the scene would be at the commendation meeting with Qin Ying on the stage and him in the audience.
But he still had to do it, and he had to do it beautifully. The result of the succession would be announced in the next few days, and he couldn't make any mistakes.
"Make me some tea!"
Lu Cheng called out, but no one responded. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that the huge house was empty and he was the only one there.
His wife was divorcing him, his daughter was resentful of him, and with countless eyes watching him at work, he couldn't afford to make even a single mistake. He was so angry that he couldn't vent it. It was stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Lu Cheng fiercely brushed away the documents on the table, and the snow-white papers fell to the ground without making a sound, in a cold and lonely atmosphere.
How did his life become like this? Lu Cheng sat in a chair, looking up at the ceiling, unable to understand.
