Chapter 388: No Disruption to Public and Private Affairs
The plan to develop high-tech projects in a step-by-step manner will probably take a long time from its approval to its full implementation.

Even if they wanted to go faster, they couldn’t go much faster.

Human resources always need to be coordinated, and not all outstanding researchers are in Beijing.

There are people from Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they may have tasks on hand, so it is impossible for them to stop and come to Beijing for meetings.

Zhou Fengnian is preparing a plan list in advance. He has drawn up a list of more than 60 biotechnology talents across the country, and it is still preliminary.

We have already asked someone to make phone calls to inquire, and if everyone has time, we will try to coordinate and then get together for a meeting.

After everyone arrives and discusses, we can prepare a plan and report it to the superiors, and then enter the R&D and production stage.

Zhou Fengnian also visited the private pharmaceutical company under his nephew’s name. Now it is just a research institute and not a company.

There is only a research center, and there is no production workshop at all.

However, Zhou Fengnian is not in a hurry. He will naturally expand after the research results are achieved.

Now Zhou Fengnian has invested all his money in this R&D center. The equipment is the best, the place is large enough, and the environmental requirements are met.

It can be said that no research laboratory in a medical university is as good as Zhou Fengnian’s.

So after Zhou Fengnian asked his nephew to seek cooperation with the teachers and professors in his school, most of them were very interested.

A well-equipped laboratory is one of them. The main thing is that Zhou Fengnian said he wanted to develop a new special medicine for treating diabetes. It may not be a cure, but the effect will be better than existing drugs.

For his own private enterprise, Zhou Fengnian does not need professors or researchers of particularly high level. It is enough as long as they can implement his ideas.

What he needed was an assistant who could execute his R&D ideas. He didn’t even need a professor. He just needed a few obedient and sensible masters and doctors.

Both sides are in progress, but his private pharmaceutical company’s side will be faster, after all, its requirements are lower and it started early.

Saturday night.

Zhou Fengnian was busy until after ten o’clock and finally finished his busy day. He got in the car and asked the driver to take him home.

There was a problem at the Semiconductor Research Institute a couple of days ago. He went over to study it for a while. After helping to solve it, he didn’t take a rest yet and went to the Computer Research Institute to work on it.

A supercomputer with a computing power of exascale was something they had never thought of before. Even though Zhou Fengnian had indicated the research and development direction, the Computer Research Institute was still struggling.

If they had not been stuck for a week and had no idea, they would not have come to Zhou Fengnian for help. The director of the Computer Research Institute knew that Zhou Fengnian was very busy recently and their funding was the richest.

In addition to funding from above, the Shenzhou Computer Factory also allocates a portion every year, which is used as both research funding and welfare funding.

So they can’t ask Zhou Fengnian for help every time they encounter problems. They have no other choice this time.

After returning home, although Zhou Fengnian’s noise was very quiet, it still woke Zhou Yan up.

When she stood up and saw that it was Zhou Fengnian who came back, Zhou Yan felt relieved and said, “You’re back. Go wash up and take a rest. I left the hot water on for you.”

“You take a rest, I’ll turn it off after I finish washing.”

Zhou Fengnian put down his briefcase and said that after the reform and opening up, people have been advocating saving water and electricity, and civilian use should give way to industry.

Otherwise, the nuclear power plant could have been put on the project. This plan had been in place for a long time, but it was delayed by three years due to the greed of foreigners.

After washing and lying on the bed, Zhou Yan was still awake and said to Zhou Fengnian, “Is the water still hot?”

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said, “Well, my son’s decoration is quite thoughtful. It is more comfortable to live in than a building. Don’t believe his ten thousand yuan decoration fee. These cost at least a little over a hundred thousand yuan.”

This courtyard house may look like an old house from the outside, but it is a world of its own inside. It has everything that buildings have, and also things that buildings don’t have.

There is a room for washing face and taking a bath in the inner bedroom, and it is also equipped with heating, so it is not cold even in winter.

“He spends money lavishly now, how can he spend like this?”

When Zhou Yan heard that it cost more than 100,000 yuan to renovate this courtyard house, she felt heartbroken.

She lived through the years of famine, when it was a rare opportunity to have a cornmeal steamed bread. Even after that, even if she had money, she would save it.

“Don’t worry about him. He can spend whatever he wants if he can earn it. Besides, he’s a father now, so he must know what’s going on.”

“Then you have to warn him. By the way, Yi Yi is back, and I’ve already told her what you were going to talk to her about.”

“Okay, I just happen to have a day off tomorrow, so I can talk to my daughter and then rest first.”

Zhou Fengnian said to Zhou Yan, and then prepared to go to bed; he had been busy for three or four weeks without much rest, and he happened to have no appointments tomorrow, so he might as well relax for a day.

The next morning.

Zhou Yan woke up early and saw that Zhou Fengnian was still asleep, so she got dressed and went out quietly to prepare breakfast.

In fact, Master Yang should be responsible for three meals a day. He should come to cook in the morning and leave only after finishing dinner in the evening.

However, Zhou Fengnian’s family does not need to go through so much trouble. In the past, Master Yang would prepare the semi-finished products in the evening and put them in the refrigerator. He didn’t have to worry about it at noon and could just cook a meal carefully in the evening.

Cooking at Zhou Fengnian’s house was much more relaxing than cooking at other places. You only had to come once in the afternoon and go home in the evening after breakfast was done. When breakfast was almost ready, Zhou Yan began to knock on doors and call for people.

After waking up Zhou Fengnian and his two daughters, she brought breakfast to the table.

Xiaolongbao, tea eggs, soy milk and three dishes of pickles are all Zhou Fengnian’s favorites. He has tried breakfast from many places over the years, but he still likes Xiaolongbao and soy milk.

“Hey, I’m eating. Mom and Dad, you’re really slow today.”

Just as Zhou Fengnian and others were eating, Zhou Xianyang suddenly walked in and said to Zhou Fengnian and others with a smile.

Zhou Yan asked: “Have you eaten?”

“I ate at grandpa’s place. Don’t worry about me. I’m here to bring something to Linlin.”

After Zhou Xianyang finished speaking, he took out a box and placed it on the table.

As a result, Zhou Linlin quickly took it away as soon as Zhou Xianyang put it down, and glared at Zhou Xianyang. She felt that her elder brother did it on purpose just to let her parents see it.

Zhou Yan glanced at her little daughter, then said, “If your test scores don’t improve next time, I’ll confiscate it from you.”

She knew what it was as soon as she saw it, but if it helped keep her grades improving, she might as well keep it to listen to music.

Zhou Xianyang sat down and said, “Mom and Dad, I’m going out for a while next week and will be back in four or five days. You and grandpa and grandma will take turns to help me take care of Zeqian and Shuyu.”

Zhou Yan said unhappily, “You just know how to order your mother around, go ahead.”

“Remember to bring security with you when you go out. Don’t be so arrogant as to go on a long journey alone. If you don’t tell your identity, you might be kidnapped. If you tell your identity, you might not be able to come back. Be careful.”

Zhou Fengnian reminded that guns have not been completely banned these days, and each village has its own arsenal. If you encounter a few brave people, they may bring shotguns.

Zhou Xianyang’s security guard has a formal gun carrying permit. This certificate is quite easy to obtain nowadays. You don’t even need to find connections. It will be issued in a short time after applying.

“I understand, Dad. I won’t go to a remote place this time. Besides, I value my life, so if I encounter any danger, I will definitely call you first!”

“you boy”

Zhou Fengnian shook his head, then stood up and walked towards the study, and said to his eldest daughter, “Yi Yi, come with me, I want to talk to you.”

Zhou Yiyi felt something was wrong with Zhou Fengnian’s attitude this morning, and now she was even more panicked, but she still said “Oh” and followed him.

After the father and daughter left, Zhou Xianyang asked in confusion, “Mom, what happened to my sister? Did she make a mistake?”

Zhou Yan shook her head and said, “No, it has nothing to do with you. Just go about your business.”

“It’s Sunday and the factory is closed. What can I do? Mom, just tell me, or I’ll eavesdrop at the study door.”

“You don’t look like an adult at all.”

——

After entering the study, Zhou Yiyi turned around and looked around and asked, “Dad, what do you want me for?”

“Of course, let’s talk about your desire to go abroad. You’re old enough, so it won’t be very effective to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, so I’ll just chat with you casually today.”

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment and continued, “Tell me what you want to say. If you don’t want to say it, forget it.”

“Actually, it’s nothing. I studied acting, so I definitely want to go somewhere better. And Amei is considered the world’s film center, so I thought…”

Zhou Yiyi paused and finally told the whole story, but Zhou Fengnian was frowning when he heard it.

After his daughter finished speaking, he sighed and said, “I’m not against you. I’m just telling you what the real foreign countries are like. I’ve been there and I know more about them than you do.

The beauty of foreign countries is all propaganda, they won’t talk about their bad side, in my opinion there are two things that are most unfriendly to you: racial discrimination and racism.”

In fact, as long as you have money, you can live a good life outside; but Zhou Fengnian can’t afford it with his own money, as his monthly salary is only more than 600 yuan.

It would be fine to let Zhou Xianyang and Zhou Fugui provide the guarantee, which would be enough to make Zhou Yiyi a superior person abroad.

But his silly daughter was obviously misled, and that man was not a good person either.

Maybe he saw that Zhou Yiyi’s family was rich and he himself had no money to go abroad, so he planned to take Zhou Yiyi with him to travel abroad.

Although he hadn’t met her in person yet, Zhou Fengnian had already guessed most of the information by asking questions from his daughter.

Otherwise, how could she know so much about Amei with her limited information channels, and she learned it all from the same person.

This kind of thing is not suitable for him as a father, so it should be handed over to Zhou Xianyang, the brother.

As a father, he has no responsibilities and should not get involved.

After talking with his daughter, Zhou Fengnian let her leave first. He neither agreed nor disagreed. He just said that he would let Zhou Xianyang take her to Hong Kong in the future to broaden her horizons and not be so naive.
