Chapter 235 Gu Yanying: Looking for me?
The moonlight flows like water, pouring down from the sky.
After the train arrived at the station, tired passengers got on and off the train, vendors shouted loudly on the platform, and the cold and lonely night became lively again.
Gu Yanying opened the car window and asked the vendor to deliver two buns.
The lunch box on the train costs three yuan a portion, and the noodles cost two yuan a portion. They don’t taste good and can only barely fill your stomach. There is no food available at night, so you have nothing to eat.
The steamed buns sold at the stand are only 50 cents each, and if you want fried food, there are also fried dough sticks, which are served hot, and are the choice of most people.
"Two buns for one dollar." The vendor's smile was very worldly.
Gu Yanying handed over a piece of paper money.
A few minutes later, the train once again departed from the brightly lit platform into the night, making a very regular sound.
In the sleeper compartment, everyone else was fast asleep, except Gu Yanying, who looked clear-headed.
He sat on the bed in the lower bunk. He bought some buns but left them on the table without eating them. His cold peach blossom eyes looked out the window indifferently, but he didn't seem to notice the almost unchanging scenery outside.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet space.
Gu Yanying's eyes darkened and she looked out the door sharply.
Seeing that the person standing at the door was wearing a train conductor's uniform, smiling and polite, he slowly calmed down.
He stood up and walked to the door: "Looking for me?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The conductor who was assigned to come over noticed the buns on the table, nodded and smiled, "I wonder if it's convenient for you now? Do you want to go to the dining car to eat something? Someone is coming to see you, so we can talk while we eat."
Gu Yanying nodded calmly: "Okay."
He had expected this to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
It seems that the person he cares about seems to be paying attention to his movements all the time... Thinking of this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and his aura became more harmonious.
A few minutes later, Gu Yanying walked to the dining car, and Yu Zhou, who was waiting in the dining car, immediately stood up with a very friendly attitude.
"Professor Gu."
"Hello."
After shaking hands, the two sat down one after another.
The conductor asked the two people what they wanted to eat, wrote it down in a notebook, and left.
Yu Zhou did not speak immediately, but said in his heart: He received news that Comrade Xiao Su's system said that Professor Gu seemed to have become a different person, and his temperament was completely different from before. So this is what it meant.
He had met Gu Yanying before and had interacted with her several times. Considering that he and Gu Yanying were relatively familiar with each other, his superiors temporarily assigned him this task.
He was woken up in the early morning and rushed to this train from his business trip just to have a chat with Gu Yanying and express his opinion before he returned to the capital.
In his opinion, Gu Yanying's temperament before was cold, like the icicles hanging on the treetops in winter, which looked crystal clear and beautiful, but was actually freezing cold and had a hidden sharp edge.
Gu Yanying's temperament is now gentle, like a deep pool in the deep mountains and old forests. Although it is calm, you can't see the bottom clearly, which makes people feel even more frightened.
But this kind of surprise was not due to anything else, but because of his calm and composed yet increasingly powerful aura, the kind of determination and depth that came from having read a lot of things.
Yu Zhou was nervous and felt that his mission might be in jeopardy.
Such people are strong-willed, have their own ideas, and are difficult to persuade.
Not wanting to keep Gu Yanying waiting for too long, he smiled and said, "Professor Gu, we have dealt with each other several times before. I wonder if you have any faint impression of me."
Gu Yanying nodded calmly.
Inexplicably, Yu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and continued with a smile, "I came here this time to ask if you would like to take a bus back to Beijing, which is faster and more comfortable. On the other hand, I received a notice from my superiors asking me to ensure your safety."
"Upon hearing the news of your safe return, Captain Huo immediately reported it to Commander Wang and Secretary Qin. They both care about you very much."
"You are extremely talented. Your achievements in biological sciences are at the top in China and even in the world. Not only did you develop the world's first genetically engineered vaccine, the hepatitis B vaccine, you also have two or three national-level research projects on hand. Beijing really cannot do without you."
"When he reported it, Head Huo said that your presence is very important. At least in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, you are an indispensable talent who can lead China into a period of rapid development as soon as possible."
Yu Zhou smiled and said, "By the way, you and Captain Huo should be pretty good friends, right?"
Gu Yanying was slightly startled, but not surprised. She chuckled and said, "...Yes."
Yu Zhou relaxed a little more and asked tentatively, "Would you like to take a bus? The bus goes directly to the capital, which is more comfortable and faster than the train. It will allow you to meet your relatives and friends earlier. They will be very happy to know that you have returned safely."
Gu Yanying thought for a moment and nodded.
"After the half-hour train arrives at the station, do we take a bus north?" Yu Zhou asked again.
Gu Yanying: "Okay."
Yu Zhou's anxious heart suddenly felt at ease!
Although Professor Gu now has a strong aura, he is actually easier to talk to than before!
The train attendant who had been away for a while came back with two bowls of hot shredded chicken noodles. The soup was light in color, and green scallions were sprinkled on the dragon beard noodles, with an aroma that filled the air.
Yu Zhou smiled and said, "You must be hungry. Eating noodles at night is easy to digest and light."
Gu Yanying chuckled and nodded.
After finishing his noodles, he wiped his hands and suddenly asked, "After the train arrives, please contact Huo Yan as soon as possible. I have something important to discuss with him and need to meet him."
