Chapter 86 Zhao Zinan is back (Long Chapter)
Li Ming certainly knows that investment in scientific research projects is completely different from investment in other fields.

The investment cycle of scientific research is long, the investment is large, and the risk is high. There is a high probability that most of the investment will be lost.

But you can keep earning money if you lose it, but once your dad is gone, he is really gone forever.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Li Ming will not give up, and he will not be stingy with the money he invests.

Li Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, we have to try it to know."

Wang Hongcai smiled and didn't care about what Li Ming said.

She said, "Okay, then when I go back this time, I'll help you ask if I can apply for this qualification."

She sighed in her heart, thinking that when she showed Li Ming the funding requirements and conditions of the application, he would give up.

She didn't want Li Ming's hard-earned money to be spent on something that would not have no returns.

Hearing this answer, Li Ming said sincerely: "Okay, thank you, you have given me another choice."

Wang Hongcai said softly: "It's okay, as long as I can help my uncle, this is all I can do for now."

Looking at her flushed cheeks, Li Ming couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

Wang Hongcai did not refuse, but just looked up at Li Ming... closed her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled.

[Why is it a crime to be unromantic? Why do we always wait for something special...]

Suddenly, Li Ming's cell phone vibrated and the phone rang.

Zhao Zinan!
When Li Ming saw this number, he was stunned.

Why would she call me now?

Wang Hongcai also noticed Li Ming's hesitation, and her eyebrows slightly frowned. She said, "You take it first."

Li Ming answered the phone and she listened quietly.

"Li Ming, I'm returning to China tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for more than a year. Please come to Jiangcheng International Airport to pick me up tomorrow." It was a familiar voice and tone, neither distant nor polite.

The last time the two of them spoke on the phone was two months ago.

Li Ming asked curiously: "You are not going to class?"

Zhao Zinan said indignantly: "Can't you come back from class? Can you pay attention to your friends who are studying abroad?

And! Not only did you have an affair with my mom, you even dared to cheat with Aunt Li behind my back... Li Ming, I haven't seen you for more than a year, you've become more capable."

There was a sense of grievance and resentment in her words, and even a bit of helplessness in her gnashing of teeth.

Hearing this, Li Ming felt a little guilty.

As for Zhao Zinan, he always treated her as a "good brother" during the years of high school and never had any thoughts about her.

He also never thought that Zhao Zinan would like him... This made him feel a little embarrassed.

If Li Yuqi hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have known.

She helped her when she got into trouble in high school, and she also generously lent a helping hand when her father got into trouble.

In times of peace, the two of them have a friendship of sharing weal and woe. They are not only friends, but also have gratitude towards each other.

As for Zhao Zinan, he didn't know why, but he felt a little guilty.

As for having a relationship with Li Yu, it was completely an accident.

Li Ming pulled the weeds on the flowerbed and explained seriously: "Zinan, listen to me. These are all rumors, all accidents. I am not the kind of person you think."

"Yeah! There's a snake!"

Wang Hongcai's voice screamed. Li Ming looked and saw a small gecko running out quickly from the flower bed.

Wang Hongcai next to him jumped up and grabbed Li Ming's arm tightly. She was really scared.

Li Ming was quick-witted and quick-handed. He stomped his foot and the little gecko quickly slipped back into the weeds.

Then he realized something was wrong.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Zinan was silent for a long time.

She said calmly, "Didn't you go to your cousin's wedding? Does your cousin's family keep snakes? And there are girls' voices?"

Li Ming smiled helplessly. It seemed that Zhao Zinan was very concerned about his schedule.

He glanced at Wang Hongcai and found that her face was also full of apology. It was obvious that she didn't mean it.

Li Ming explained: "I went back to my alma mater with my junior high school classmates..."

Zhao Zinan said coldly: "I'm just asking, you don't need to explain.

Yes, didn’t I say there was good news?
After thinking about it, I decided to tell you now. I plan to transfer to another school in my country. It’s not fun to be alone in a foreign country. ”

Li Ming was stunned. He felt something was not right and asked subconsciously, "Which school are you transferring back to? Peking University or Tsinghua University?"

Zhao Zinan said, "Jiangcheng University, Department of Mechanical Engineering. School starts in September, and I'll be a freshman. We'll be in the same school again."

Li Ming frowned and said, "Zinan, stop making trouble."

There was no emotion in Zhao Zinan's voice, she continued: "It has nothing to do with you, I'll tell you in detail when I get back, come and pick me up tomorrow afternoon.

I also want to eat braised beef, spicy crayfish, braised chicken legs... and water spinach, stir-fried pork, pork tripe soup, and mushroom black chicken soup."

These dishes were all cooked by Li Ming for Zhao Huiya and Li Yuqi. She listed them all, not leaving out a single one.

beep...

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

A breeze blew by, and a hint of complexity flashed in Wang Hongcai's beautiful eyes.

The daughter of Zhixing Technology, who was studying abroad, actually returned to China to study for Li Ming and even transferred to the same school as Li Ming. Her purpose was obvious.

The campus was very quiet. She heard every word Zhao Zinan said clearly. He didn't care about Li Ming in every word, but every word was about Li Ming.

Wang Hongcai thought about her own identity: an ordinary rural family, an ordinary job... and no special skills.

Compared with Zhao Zinan, she is really too ordinary.

Li Ming hasn't graduated yet, but he's already so outstanding.

The slight expectation in her heart turned into something complicated at this moment.

She still had a smile on her face and asked, "Li Ming, the person who called you is the daughter of Zhixing Technology, right?"

Li Ming nodded and said, "Yes, he is also my high school classmate."

Wang Hongcai suddenly asked, "Are you planning to go back to school in September?"

Li Ming nodded. He had already taken classes at Jiangcheng University for a year, but had to take a leave of absence last year because of his father's affairs.

He will have to go back to his sophomore year when school starts in September. He feels a little dazed at the thought of having to sit in the classroom to study again.

My dad's condition is basically stable now, so there's no need for him to do anything.

The only obstacle to returning to school is Zhixing Technology Company. He still holds the position of Planning Director, so he must give it up.

He is now considering whether it is necessary to go back to school?
Nowadays, college students are everywhere, and many graduates from top universities cannot find satisfactory jobs. College students from other schools cannot find good jobs either, and the competition is so fierce that it is suffocating.

Most graduates go to work in factories. Electronics factories are full of college students. Once you enter, you can’t tell whether it’s an electronics factory or a university…

In this case, what's the point of finishing school? You may not be doing as well as you are now after graduation!
Li Ming does not plan to go back to school, even Jiangcheng University, which does not mean much to him now.

Therefore, he found it difficult to understand why Zhao Zinan suddenly transferred back to China and went to the same school and department as him.

Zhao Zinan was very stubborn, and she would not take back the decisions she made. I just hope that her decision to return to China to study was not influenced by me, otherwise Li Ming would really feel very uncomfortable.

Li Ming was indeed stunned by Zhao Zinan's call, and his thoughts were a little confused. After calming down, his eyes returned to calmness.

In fact, at this stage, the most important thing for him is his father.

First, invest in the research of brain-computer interfaces.

Second, Wang Hongcai’s medical project in the neurological field.

There is no clue about brain-computer interface at present. He also knows that there are relevant research institutions in China. But he still needs to go back and ask Zhao Huiya or Wang Zhenhui how to connect them.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Ming also became more anxious.

money!
My thirty million yuan of funds is too little!

He stood up and said to Wang Hongcai, "I may not have time to play these days. I have to go back to the company."

Wang Hongcai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the unit and help you understand the situation. As for investing in research, you can think about it again."

Li Ming: “Okay!”

With that, the two of them climbed over the wall and returned the same way they came, no longer in the mood to play.

……

Nine o'clock in the evening, Jiangcheng.

Li Ming slowly parked the car on the street of the Science and Technology Park in the left bank area of ​​Jiangcheng. There was a building inside, which was where Wang Hongcai worked.

The park was very quiet. Li Ming looked up at the tall building. It was a state-owned building, the Jiangcheng subsidiary of the Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd.

Li Ming was also a little surprised when he saw the company name.

Without strong professional qualities, you can't get into this kind of unit.

Although it is just a subsidiary of the group, the threshold is extremely high.

Li Ming sighed: "It seems that you have really learned a lot in your medical studies over the years and have become a scientist."

Wang Hongcai laughed and said jokingly, "I'm just a small employee. I'm not as powerful as you say. How can I compare with you, the director of a unicorn company, as an employee?"

Li Ming said seriously: "I really admire you. No wonder my cousin always said that you have a successful career in Jiangcheng. You can really kill many people in seconds."

Wang Hongcai covered her mouth and laughed, "Director Li! Let's not brag about business here. That's it. Thank you for sending me off. I'm going back now."

Wang Hongcai unbuckled her seat belt, but her beautiful eyes subconsciously glanced at Li Ming and said softly, "Good night."

Buzz... Before Li Ming could say anything, the phone rang again.

【Aunt Zhao calls】

Li Ming smiled helplessly and said, "Good night. I'll treat you to a good meal another day. Go to bed early."

Wang Hongcai smiled and nodded, then got out of the car.

She closed the car door and walked towards the slightly empty company gate. The evening breeze blew her black hair. She said softly, "Is it just a junior high school classmate?" When she looked back, Li Ming had already answered the phone.

Li Ming: "Aunt Zhao, what's the matter?"

Zhao Huiya smiled gently and said, "Xiao Ming, I have good news to tell you. Although it's a little late, it's very important."

Li Ming asked doubtfully, "Is it about Zi Nan coming back?"

Zhao Huiya: "I have some relationship with her. Auntie has been helping you keep an eye on brain-computer interface research at home and abroad.

A famous robotics research team from Singapore will visit Jiangcheng University, including a Chinese scientist who is also researching brain-computer interface related projects.

Our company has a collaboration with their team on a robotics project, and I plan to visit him tomorrow.

In addition, he has deep feelings for his motherland and has been searching for his roots in the two coastal provinces in recent years, trying to find their family genealogy.

Perhaps we can use this as a breakthrough point to keep him in our company or Jiangcheng University, which would be a win-win situation for us."

Jiangcheng University, robotics project, scientific research team... Li Ming suddenly realized.

He said why Zhao Zinan suddenly wanted to return to China to study. Since Jiangcheng University could attract such a team to visit, it meant that Jiangcheng University might have made a major breakthrough in the field of robotics.

This is definitely a major benefit for Zhixing Company. Zhao Zinan can learn the most cutting-edge science and technology at Jiangcheng University, so there is really no need for him to stay in Singapore.

Li Ming asked, "Auntie, has Jiangcheng University made any breakthroughs?"

The words fell.

On the phone, Zhao Huiya couldn't help but praise: "That's right! There is indeed a major breakthrough. It will be announced in two days. It is exciting news. I don't know the specific content now. I just have some information."

Zhao Huiya continued, "It was also a temporary decision to let Zinan return to Jiangcheng University to study in the Department of Mechanical Engineering."

Zhao Huiya is indeed very capable in Jiangcheng!
Not only did he get the news of major scientific breakthroughs first, but he was also able to handle Zhao Zinan's transfer procedures first.

However, what he is most concerned about is the Chinese scientists who are working on brain-computer interfaces!
This is definitely a good opportunity, but whether we can keep this scientist is not the point.

At least you have to have good communication with others and get in touch with them so that it will be convenient to contact them in the future and gain their trust.

Li Ming agreed decisively: "Okay! What time tomorrow? I'll go visit him with you."

Zhao Huiya pondered for a moment and said, "Around nine o'clock tomorrow morning, Jiangcheng University, you have to rush back tonight, otherwise it will be too late."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Auntie has already arrived in Jiangcheng, don't worry, she will definitely not be late."

Zhao Huiya was surprised and said, "Oh?" Then she smiled and said, "It was that girl Zinan who asked you to come back to pick her up."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Hahaha, Auntie is very good at predicting things."

Zhao Huiya said gently: "You two have such a close relationship, I can guess it without even thinking about it.

You know her character, and she might be influenced by the rumors about Chuxiong. Don't take her nonsense to heart."

This is more than nonsense!

Li Ming already vaguely felt that Zhao Zinan might make trouble with him when he came back this time!
He had already prepared himself mentally!

Li Ming nodded and said, "I understand, Auntie. You should go to bed early. See you tomorrow."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Huiya hurriedly said, "Hey! What are you in such a hurry for? There is one more thing. I noticed that you are not wearing any formal clothes.

Tomorrow is a formal occasion, so you can't dress too casually. Come over to Auntie now. I have prepared a formal suit for you according to your size."

Li Ming was surprised. He had also planned to buy himself a set of decent clothes after returning this time.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. The clothes he wears are indeed not in line with his current status.

But he always felt uncomfortable going to Zhao Huiya's house so late to get the suit.

When he gets there he will definitely try it out on the spot for Zhao Huiya to see!
To try on clothes, you have to change clothes... During the "sensitive" period when Zhao Zinan was about to come back, Li Ming was a little hesitant.

He said slowly: "Auntie, can I go there tomorrow morning?"

On the phone, Zhao Huiya said with a smile: "How can tomorrow be in time?

Auntie has already ironed it for you, come and try it on now, and wear it directly tomorrow."

After thinking for a while, Li Ming finally said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Anyway, there was nothing innocent between him and Zhao Huiya, it was just a matter of changing clothes...

Zhao Zinan couldn’t say anything, right?
