Chapter 275 Her Achievements
November 10, 2022.
Lin Xi has decided to pursue a doctorate. If all goes well, she will receive an admission notice from Nanhua University in six months, and her supervisor will still be Song Heng.
This is another path Lin Xi has never taken before. In her previous life, in May 2025, she didn't even have time to graduate with a master's degree, so she didn't consider pursuing a doctorate. Now, the zombie virus has not yet been made public, and she needs a higher position to obtain more research resources and access to laboratories.
Even after being reborn, she remains Song Heng's most valued student.
However, Song Heng valued Lin Xi during peacetime only because she was "exceptionally gifted" in scientific research.
However, Lin Xi knew that the truly gifted one was Zhang Zheng. Both she and Song Heng were diligent students, and she had spent two lifetimes studying and had achieved some success in the field of vaccines.
Lin Xi extracted virus samples from the collected items, but did not inform the research institute or even Song Heng for the time being. She did not want the news to leak too quickly, lest she alert the enemy.
The reporting channels also need to be carefully considered. In her previous life, she had seen too many high-ranking officials in the base. The factions were diverse and people's hearts were unpredictable. In this life, Lin Xi and Lu Wei were limited by their identities and could not contact the core personnel of the most relevant departments. They had to wait until they could guarantee that the channels were reliable.
But this does not mean stopping progress. With virus samples and cerebrospinal fluid samples from the Lin family, Lin Xi can begin developing a vaccine ahead of schedule.
Prior to this, Lin Xi had made other achievements in scientific research.
Although she is young in front of everyone, she has a lot of experience in vaccine research and a comprehensive understanding of multispecific antibodies, a popular research topic at the moment.
Lin Xi participated in several vaccine research projects for novel influenza viruses and achieved some success, earning a considerable bonus.
This weekend, Lin Xi returned to her home in the urban village of District D.
It is precisely between 5 and 7 o'clock that the urban village is at its most vibrant, with the sounds of neighbors cooking busily rising and falling.
"Let's move," Lin Xi casually mentioned while helping out in the kitchen chopping vegetables.
Lin Yi and Zhao Qiong were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding: "You're going to be on long-term business trips with your mentor?"
"Clatter, clatter, clatter..." The sound of the cleaver hitting the cutting board was rhythmic.
Lin Xi said calmly, "No, I mean let's sell this house and buy a new one."
Lin Yi and Zhao Qiong looked at each other in bewilderment.
The conversation at dinner naturally revolved around selling the house.
"Why do you suddenly want to move?" Zhao Qiong glanced around the house. The decoration was indeed very old, but they had been living here since they came to Nanhua, so the topic of moving was too abrupt.
"Because housing prices are going to fall, it's not too late to sell now."
Zhao Qiong was only saddened for a moment, and immediately snapped back to reality upon hearing Lin Xi's words. Although she was sentimental, it was she who had insisted on leaving her familiar hometown of Yunxiang to develop in Nanhua, which led to her current family.
In her eyes, the best gain was not the house that had appreciated in value over the past twenty years, but Lin Xi's access to better educational resources and her current achievements.
Lin Yi remained silent.
Zhao Qiong asked, "Now that it's sold, where will we live?"
Lin Xi: "I can afford the rent for a three-bedroom apartment right now. We'll rent for two to three years and see how it goes, and then buy a house after 2025."
There might not have been an apocalypse at that time, but housing prices would definitely have plummeted.
Zhao Qiong: "You're still in school, Mom won't let you pay rent. We'll have a lot of money after we sell the house..."
Lin Xi pursed her lips and sincerely asked her parents, "Could you lend me that money... first?"
Zhao Qiong punched her shoulder: "What did you say to your parents about lending money?"
Lin Xi has developed very well over the years and has become her parents' pride. Her cognition and ability far surpass those of her parents. If she makes any suggestions at home, Lin Yi and Zhao Qiong will listen to them without question.
Lin Yi asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Xi spoke the truth: "To renovate the houses in Yunxiang."
Zhao Qiong's chopsticks froze in mid-air, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Lin Xichong winked at her mother: "This is the second thing I want your approval for."
Lin Yi's expression softened slightly after his initial shock.
"Your dad was so happy to hear that." Although Zhao Qiong didn't directly refute it, she kept asking, "We're not going back to our hometown in Yunxiang, so why are you renovating that place?"
The old house in Yunxiang was built on the worst plot of land in the village, and it was also the most remote place in the village. Twenty or thirty years ago, when the roads and living standards were not high, living there was indeed uncomfortable. But now, with the miracle of technology, those problems can be solved as long as you have money.
Lin Xi gave the excuse he had prepared beforehand: "Well... for the sake of scientific research, we need a relatively quiet place away from the city to conduct some research and observations, and the old house in Yunxiang is the most suitable place."
She deliberately steered the conversation toward her career, blurring the concept of "we".
As expected, Zhao Qiong and Lin Yi thought it was a research institute project and asked whether it counted as requisition.
Lin Xi quickly denied it and said some comforting words.
After regaining the right to use the two houses, Lin Xi dialed the number of a certain decoration studio.
That year, Yu Shiyun's studio had already started and had produced a satisfactory debut work.
Yu Shiyun, whom Lin Xi hadn't seen in several lifetimes, looked exactly the same as she remembered. With a professional smile, she greeted Lin Xi: "Hello, Miss Lin."
Lin Xi had briefly explained his needs before they met, and the two met only after they had reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.
Having worked together several times, Lin Xi confidently stated her construction needs, most of which were the same as the doomsday fortress she had built in Yunxiang, with only some adjustments made to the internal room layout.
Yu Shiyun liked clients with clear thinking and specific requirements, and immediately said she could meet Lin Xi's expectations.
"I believe in you," Lin Xi said sincerely.
The two hit it off, and Yu Shiyun finally couldn't help but say, "I'm very curious about Yunxiang."
"oh?"
“My husband is also from Yunxiang, but I have never been there.”
Lin Xi smiled calmly: "Will you be going back to your hometown with your husband this time?"
Yu Shiyun shook her head: "He's currently on a business trip abroad."
Even if it weren't for this reason, Lin Xi knew Zhang Zheng wouldn't go to Yunxiang.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Xi added, "By the way, regarding this house, I hope Engineer Yu can protect the client's privacy."
Yu Shiyun nodded in understanding: "We will not take photos for advertising purposes if the client has confidentiality requirements, nor will we disclose personal privacy. Ms. Lin, please rest assured, our studio specializes in customized safe interior design for single women, and we will protect your privacy even if you don't mention it."
The most important thing is not to let Zhang Zheng know about this.
