Chapter 115 Random Thoughts: Drawing a Circle
Gong Xue didn't stay at the General Political Department for long. She left hastily, citing the need to finish her manuscript, and took Yu Zhen's heart with her.
Her appearance seemed to come carrying orders from superiors, specifically to win someone's heart.
Now that the mission has been accomplished, there is no reason to linger and cause trouble.
Unfortunately, the occasion was simply not suitable for more intense expressions of emotion between the two of them.
Furthermore, Gong Xue is, after all, a very traditional woman.
Make her pretend to ignore Selena von's existence.
On the other hand, he still has to express his feelings for a certain philandering woman with the utmost sincerity.
That's asking too much of people!
It would be too much of a stain on her pure feelings of love.
Therefore, her hasty arrival and departure were actually more due to the helplessness and torment she was enduring, and a kind of subconscious escapist emotion was at play.
That makes sense. Born in the new era and raised under the red flag, she no longer grew up in an environment where men in the old society often had multiple wives and concubines. Suddenly, she was able to accept being with other women without losing her temper, which was already a great consideration for everyone and the overall situation.
How could Yu Zhen not know all this?
He wasn't stupid or dull; he truly felt the torment Sister Xue was enduring, which intensified his own feelings of guilt and remorse.
"Damn this 'blessing of having multiple wives'—I can't learn any of that at all! What am I going to do with those time management gurus?!"
After Gong Xue left.
The two cunning old men left him alone for a very long time, until lunchtime, when they finally met again.
"Xiao Yu, come on, let's punish ourselves with three drinks first!" Qin Zhongkai didn't hold back at the dinner table, taking the initiative to punish himself with three drinks first.
The liquor is excellent; it's a special edition of Guojiao Moutai, specially supplied to the military.
Commander Shi also looked embarrassed. After Director Qin finished his self-punishment, he followed suit and voluntarily drank three cups as punishment.
Well, seeing that a pound of Maotai had been swindled away by two shameless old men, Yu Zhen was getting anxious. He didn't drink much, especially baijiu, which he had hardly ever touched.
But for Lao Mao's sake—
So, during lunch, Yu Zhen got a little drunk, and his speech became slurred.
This will delay things.
Fortunately, Commander Shi had made preparations in advance.
He immediately ordered the kitchen staff to prepare a special hangover-relieving turtle soup.
And so on, the meal took nearly two hours to finish.
Yu Zhen, who spoke the truth while drunk, finally revealed his awkward situation of being caught between two women and not knowing how to get along with them, under the persuasion and teasing of the two old men.
He kept sighing and lamenting, saying that the happiness of having multiple wives was not easy to enjoy, and that men in the old days were really no good.
Hey, he even started complaining and protesting seriously.
After drinking the hangover soup and taking a short nap of about fifteen minutes, Yu Zhen regained his senses.
Actually!
Wine doesn't intoxicate people; people intoxicate themselves.
Even when he was drunk, what he uttered was entirely limited to the emotional entanglement between the two women. He didn't know how to be a romantic hero; he only talked about these trivial matters of love and romance.
It truly involves one's greatest secret, and the physical body travels to the present time and space.
Such a confidential matter seems to have some kind of self-locking mechanism, not a single word was mentioned, truly sparing with words.
This made the two old men, who were eager to take the opportunity to probe his background, feel a sense of awe, and their evaluation of Yu Zhen's abilities was unconsciously raised to a new level.
Yu Zhenshen possesses an extremely unusual secret.
Given Director Qin's current position and status, it would be impossible not to reach such a definitive conclusion.
The national intelligence agencies could practically be abolished.
Yes, whether it was a blind date or Gong Xue's sudden arrival—
Following the controversy surrounding the misconduct at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, the series of seemingly ordinary events that Yu Zhen is currently experiencing are in fact a comprehensive risk control assessment of him at a higher level, and a more thorough evaluation and assessment before his upcoming visit to the United States as a scholar.
If they really can't pass the test, finding a few lookalikes among a billion people isn't such a huge problem.
If a stand-in were to be sent to the US, it would simply fail to achieve the expected level of cultural exchange between the people.
A stand-in is easy to find, but someone with the same brilliant mind is one of a kind in the world.
This matter cannot be discussed in any further detail.
It can only be said that Yu Zhen's importance has long surpassed that of a science fiction writer, a top scorer in the national college entrance examination, or a cultural figure with an increasingly significant influence in society.
Calling him a walking national treasure is no exaggeration.
Such a national treasure must be protected from any potential crisis of being seized by foreign countries.
But unfortunately, many of these things can't be discussed in the most straightforward way.
Fortunately, it seems that Gong Xue's card has indeed been extremely effective.
"Xiao Yu, are you sober now?"
"Does your head still hurt? You little brat, don't try to be a hero if you can't hold your liquor. No matter how good the alcohol is, we still have to take care of our health, right? —"
When I woke up, the first thing I saw was two old men standing on the wall.
Yu Zhen was speechless. "Hmph, you dare say you two didn't deliberately try to make me drunk and embarrassed? Heh!"
Even when confronted directly, the two old men didn't blush.
"Xiao Yu, this is what you call the treacherous nature of people. If you go abroad and still trust people so easily, it won't be as simple as just getting drunk and passing out. Who knows if ten or eight vixens will take advantage of you while you're drunk, stalking you naked and trying to do something to you. And if someone takes the opportunity to film you, tsk tsk tsk, you'll be infamous at home and abroad!"
Number 0: "Exactly! You can't judge a book by its cover. You can't just open your belly and drink like crazy just because we're old acquaintances, right?!"
"~~
Oh dear, Yu Zhen was annoyed by what he heard.
What kind of nonsense is this? Do you really think I went abroad to fight with foreign women? Don't you expect anything good from me?
He knew, of course, what the two old men were worried about.
That's right. The overseas world is too dazzling and colorful. Someone with poor self-control like him could easily turn into a Liu Shan who forgets his homeland after enjoying the pleasures of life.
"Haha, alright, alright, let's not talk about these discouraging things. We need to have full faith in Xiao Yu's resolve. After all, a man should prioritize his career, achieve great things, and leave a lasting legacy. That's the ultimate ideal pursuit in life. Didn't Xiao Yu's song 'Ideal Era,' which he composed not long ago, perfectly express his ultimate spiritual home? We've been a bit too gossipy, haha."
"Exactly, exactly! Xiao Yu is a superhuman who's even dealt with aliens. Let's stop with the sour talk and get down to business!"
The two old men worked together, and then, as if by magic, produced a map of Beijing's municipal area and spread it on the table in front of Yu Zhen.
"Xiao Yu, the country wants to develop our own Silicon Valley in Beijing. The relevant project approval process is already underway internally, with an initial planned investment of 30 million yuan. You are the specially appointed chief planner. The higher-ups have given you the authority to freely draw circles on the city map to select the location for this Silicon Valley."
"Yes, that's right, I'm not just messing with you, this is the official document in red letter appointing you as the chief planner —"
