As soon as Yan Rushan left, Yan Guofeng sat up straight and spoke solemnly, "Comrade Zhong Yuxiu, the higher-ups have given you two more rewards: one is money, and the other is your position. They believe that you are knowledgeable enough to be a professor, but you are still young. Therefore, they intend to have you serve at the Huada Research Institute. Your title will be that of associate professor, and your salary and supplies will also be based on your title."
"I have no objection." This treatment is good.
"You have no other ideas?"
"No, my requirements are not high. Just give me funding for research, enough to support me, and don't interfere with me, then we can work together happily." She really didn't have too high requirements for salary. More money was just a number. Besides, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the salary of an associate professor was already very high.
"Alright." He took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her. "I've brought your reward. The country can't afford any extra money right now; we can only give you five thousand. I know it's a little less..."
Zhong Yuxiu took it in her hand and weighed it. It was light and fluffy. It should contain a deposit certificate or passbook.
"This money is enough for me."
Yan Guofeng was very frustrated and all the words of advice he had prepared were useless.
Zhong Yuxiu pretended not to notice and turned to Goudan, saying, "Go and pack my clothes and bedding."
"There's no need to pack the bedding, the compound has prepared it." Yan Guofeng said.
"Then just take the clothes with you." Zhong Yuxiu gave the order calmly.
“Ding ding ding…”
Goudan pretended to recognize the command and then went to Zhong Yuxiu's bedroom.
Yan Guofeng took a sip of tea and watched Goudan pack a suitcase before silently looking away. "Comrade Zhong, your robot is more flexible than the small one."
"It needs to be more flexible," Zhong Yuxiu said bluntly. "After all, I'm going to use it. I'll need it to assist me in my research. Its chip has many programs stored in it, and they're more complex than those of the small robot."
"Can the chip of the little robot be recorded?"
Zhong Yuxiu raised her eyelids with a smile and replied, "Okay."
Yan Guofeng nodded slightly and said no more. When Yan Rushan came back and told them that their things had been packed, Yan Guofeng took them out of the yard directly.
Zhong Yuxiu locked the gate and looked at the small courtyard where she had lived for only a few months, feeling mixed emotions. When she first came here, she had nowhere to stay, and this was her only place to stay. Now, it is no longer the only one.
"Let's go."
A group of people got on the bus, with two guards in the front row and Yan Guofeng, Yan Rushan, Zhong Yuxiu and Goudan in the back seat. It was a bit crowded.
The Red Flag car drove to a stop outside the compound, and after inspection, it entered the compound. The car drove to a small building in the central area of the compound and stopped; two guards and a middle-aged woman were waiting outside the small building.
Yan Rushan opened the car door and walked out. "Grandpa, Comrade Zhong, we're here."
"Comrade Zhong, please get off the car. This is the residence assigned to you by your superiors." Yan Guofeng said in a low voice.
"good."
He opened the car door and got out, followed closely by Goudan. Zhong Yuxiu surveyed the surroundings. Although this small building was in the center of the compound, it was quite far from the neighboring buildings, so she could imagine it must be very quiet. Most importantly, there was a flower bed underneath, where they could pluck the flowers and plant vegetables.
Yan Guofeng had walked up to him at some point. "Comrade Zhong, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied." A faint smile appeared on Zhong Yuxiu's face. "There's no shelter around. If Goudan comes out, it will attract the attention of other people in the compound."
"Don't worry, no one will bother you. Goudan can walk around the compound as he pleases."
Have you said hello to the above?
After getting the answer, Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Goudan will be very happy."
Yan Guofeng smiled faintly, his doubts lingering, but he didn't ask. At his level, anyone knew what to ask and what not to ask. This young woman, though young, acted with a remarkable generosity unlike any of her peers. If her abilities were unleashed, they would surely elevate the nation's technological capabilities.
For various reasons, Yan Guofeng and the people above him showed the greatest tolerance and kindness towards Zhong Yuxiu.
"Mr. Yan."
The guard and the middle-aged woman who were waiting downstairs in the small building came forward and called out respectfully.
Yan Guofeng nodded and introduced, "This is Comrade Zhong Yuxiu. From now on, you will follow her and take care of her food, clothing, daily life, and safety."
"Yes." The two guards saluted.
The nanny nodded with a smile.
"Comrade Zhong, these two will be responsible for your safety from now on, and she will take care of your food." Yan Guofeng introduced them one by one. "You can live here peacefully from now on. If you need anything, you can always come to me. The higher-ups should also send someone to contact you. If you need anything, you can also contact him."
Zhong Yuxiu was delighted. She nodded to Yan Guofeng and turned her gaze. "Could you please introduce yourself?"
"Hello, Comrade Zhong, I am your guard Haonan." The guard, who had a square face and was about 1.77 meters tall, saluted.
The slightly taller guard next to him also saluted and said, "Hello, Comrade Zhong, I am your guard Tian Shangguo."
"Hello, from now on my safety will be in your hands." Zhong Yuxiu chuckled. The two of them had clear eyes and were full of righteousness. Initially, they seemed satisfied.
"I will protect you to the death." The two men promised solemnly with serious faces.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly, her eyes turning to the middle-aged woman, "What about you?"
"My name is Li Yun, and I'm responsible for your daily life."
"Then I'll call you Sister Li from now on."
Li Yun nodded, "Sure, Comrade Zhong, please feel free to do so."
Yan Rushan and his guards unloaded their belongings and came over. "Have you met each other?"
"I know them all." Zhong Yuxiu responded.
Yan Guofeng said, "Then let's go inside first. Sister Li, is the meal ready? Comrade Zhong should take a rest after eating and go to bed early, as he has classes tomorrow."
"It's ready. It's keeping warm in the kitchen. You can eat it right away." The smile on Li Yun's face remained the same, as if it had not changed since he came out.
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help but suspect that this person had been specially trained.
After entering the house, Zhong Yuxiu looked at the furnishings inside again. The hall was not very big and was divided into a reception room and a dining room. The chairs were made of wood and covered with a layer of cushions. The curtains were dark in color, and the tables and chairs were painted. Considering the living standards at that time, it was very good for a family to have such furnishings.
"Comrade Zhong, if you are not satisfied with the furnishings in the room, you can change them at will. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be your permanent residence in the future." A smile flashed across Yan Rushan's eyes. Just now, her gaze fell on the curtains, and there was a moment of disgust, very faint.
"Is it okay?" This kind of house is not private, it is public.
The little girl looked up at him, and Yan Rushan's lips curled slightly, his heart tingling. "As long as you don't maliciously damage the house, how you arrange the decorations is up to you."
"Okay, I'll find a chance to change the curtains. The color is too dark, and I feel bad when I wake up in the morning." Interior decoration is very important. It affects whether the residents are happy physically and mentally.
