The Lin and Xie families have always had occasional contact, and this gathering has further strengthened the friendship between the two families.
Xie Youzhou’s mother is a researcher at the institute. Because research tasks sometimes need to be kept strictly confidential, researchers live in the dormitory building within the institute. So Xie’s mother was not aware of the Lin family’s incident, otherwise she would have helped.
Also, Lin Zhiyu was a child she had watched grow up. Needless to say, his character was excellent, and his academic talent was beyond her reach. It was unexpected that he was slandered in such a way. The leaders of Huazhong University needed to clean up their act.
The schools of the past have long been tainted with the stench of power and wealth, and have been filled with despicable people!
“You Zhou’s father and elder brother are busy. Otherwise, I would bring them to dinner.” Xie’s mother is in her early fifties, with no makeup on but has elegant manners, and is friendly and easy-going.
“I understand. Brother Xie is very busy. I heard Xiao You say that he couldn’t see his father during the Chinese New Year several times. It must be tough.” Father Lin paused, “But I still want to meet Brother Xie if I have the chance.”
“Soon. He’s already 58. In a few years, he won’t be busy anymore.” Mother Xie smiled. “But I don’t think we need to wait until then to see him. I heard from Xiaoyou that Zhiyu has also been allocated a talent housing unit. What a coincidence, isn’t it? We’ll live in the same neighborhood, so we’ll have more opportunities to meet in the future. Although Lao Xie doesn’t come home often, we’ll see each other when he does. Our two families should get together more often.”
“Zhiyu, is this true?” Lin’s father was surprised and happy. He immediately looked at Lin Zhiyu. Lin Zhiyu nodded with smiling eyes “It is, but we haven’t decided which one yet, so I didn’t tell you.”
“Oh, kid, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?” Father Lin was overjoyed. “Where is the community?”
“It’s on Jingbei Avenue, near the gymnasium. It’s in a very good location with a great environment. There’s also a national park next to it. This community is not for ordinary people to live in. It’s a community that only nationally important talents can live in. My brother has achieved this at the age of 22. The country values him.” Xie Youzhou tried hard to adjust his mood and smiled.
“More importantly, the security in this residential area is very tight, and the security is almost at the same level as that of a military district.”
“Wow, wow, wow, that’s so cool, my age, my bestest Ge, you are so awesome, can you let me stay with you for a few days in the future?” Lin Zhaoqiu was so excited that she grabbed Lin Zhiyu’s arm and shook it.
Lin Zhiyu smiled gently: “I originally wanted you and Dad to come and live here, but it turns out you don’t want to stay for a long time, you just want to stay for a few days?”
“Ahhhhhhh that’s not what I meant.” Lin Zhaoqiu shouted anxiously.
“I just thought that if you get married, this will be your wedding house. I can’t affect my sister-in-law. But since you said so, let’s just make a deal. Don’t regret it! If I have a sister-in-law in the future and she has any objections, I can move out immediately.”
“Where did this sister-in-law come from? What nonsense.” Lin Zhiyu is now focused on research and revenge. How could he have the mind to fall in love?
And when he thought about falling in love, Lin Zhiyu always felt weird in his heart, as if there was something stuck there that he didn’t understand…
Xie Youzhou’s eyes were always on Lin Zhiyu.
Seeing Lin Zhiyu’s doting and tenderness towards his relatives, his heart felt as if it was being grabbed by something and it ached.
But it was not for himself, he hoped that his brother could take off the shell that was covered with scars, and stop forcing himself to do everything.
He can be an umbrella for his brother.
“My gege gave the paclitaxel synthesis method to the country for free. Chinese pharmaceutical companies can apply for it for free. Foreign pharmaceutical companies can also apply for it for free if they sign an agreement and are friendly to China. This is of great benefit to the country.”
Xie Youzhou drank a cup of tea and suppressed the redness in his eyes, “It’s only right to give him a house.”
“Ah? Brother, have you shared the patent for free?” Lin Zhaoqiu widened her eyes.
“Well, it’s our duty. We have to thank the country and the government.” When Lin’s father saw that the new dish was his son Zhiyu’s favorite sweet and sour fish, he couldn’t help but pick up a piece of meat and put it on Lin Zhiyu’s plate, just like when he was at home.
He was truly happy for his child. With such a house, Zhiyu’s safety would be guaranteed. He had not forgotten the group of evil people who secretly wanted to harm his child!
But the Xie family also lives there, which is amazing. They didn’t know much about it before. They only knew that one of Xie’s parents was a teacher and the other was a soldier.
It seems things are not that simple.
A few days ago, Xie Youzhou told Lin Zhiyu what Xie’s mother did specifically, and also told him that Xie’s father was a military general. After all, they would be neighbors in the same residential area, so he would know a little bit.
He was so surprised that he was speechless for a long time. After all, in his eyes, Xie Youzhou had always been a poor but hardworking child from an ordinary family, with busy parents, who needed care from his grandparents, had been abducted once, and could never see his father.
But I didn’t expect Xie Youzhou’s family background to be so strong.
If he had known earlier, maybe he would have turned to the Xie family for help first, instead of the Jiang family…
But it’s good now, he believes everything was for the best.
He would not be angry with Xiao You and the Xie family for hiding these things, because this was a rule, and it was not a good thing to know too much.
What’s more…
He couldn’t bear to see Xiao You looking pitiful when he confessed, as if he was a puppy about to be abandoned by his owner.
At nine o’clock in the evening, dinner was almost over. Lin Zhiyu and Xie Youzhou drove their families home. But before Lin Zhiyu got in the car, Xie Youzhou suddenly stuffed a box into Lin Zhiyu’s hand and whispered in his ear, “Gege, this is a gift from me. Take a look at it when you get back.”
Father Lin and Mother Xie were chatting and didn’t notice. Lin Zhaoqiu was replying to messages on her phone. Xie Youzhou acted quickly and Lin Zhiyu quickly put the things away and hid them in the big bag of packaged vegetables. This sneaky feeling made Lin Zhiyu’s ears feel a little hot.
“Ahem…ok.”
As soon as he got home, Lin Zhiyu went into the bedroom and closed the door before taking out the box from the plastic bag. Just as he was about to open it, he heard a knock on the door: “Brother, should I wash first or you?”
Lin Zhiyu was startled: “Go wash first.”
“Okay.” Lin Zhaoqiu walked away muttering. Lin Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of doing something bad behind someone’s back became even more obvious.
He quickly unpacked the box, opened it with some curiosity, and found that there was a mobile phone inside.
“Why hide this?” Lin Zhiyu frowned and said secretly.
Little did he know that Xie Youzhou was deliberately trying to sneak things in behind the elders’ backs. This unique feeling of intimacy was the comfort that allowed him to restrain himself from embracing his gege in his arms.
“Why is there a small note?” Lin Zhiyu picked up the phone and found a note underneath it with a few words written on it –
“Brother, this is the new phone I bought for you. It has been modified to be the safest in the world. We can use this phone to communicate in the future, and no one can see what we are talking about.”
Why does it sound like they are spies?
Lin Zhiyu found it funny, but at the same time, he felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
He picked up the phone and placed it next to his pillow.

The Ruan family has been trying to find ways to save Ruan Yanzheng and even asked the M government to use diplomatic means.
But this time China was surprisingly tough. Not only did it explicitly refuse, but it also held a trial shortly after Ruan Yanzheng was detained and broadcast the entire process live, sentencing Ruan Yanzheng to ten years in prison on the spot!
The Ruan family almost died of anger when they heard the verdict.
Chinese netizens and other foreign netizens who came to watch the show were jubilant.
“Ah …!!!”
“Even a top consortium like the Ruan Group will be severely sanctioned one day. The sentence is decisive and not too harsh. I envy China. – An unknown netizen from country H.”
“Read Marx once a day and make sure you understand the nature of capitalists.”
“Lin Zhiyu finally got justice. We should still believe in our country! [Sprinkle flowers] [Sprinkle flowers] [Sprinkle flowers]”
“So what if they are the top capitalists who trample on the heads of the people of the world? If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. This is not a feudal society anymore!”
“Is Zhiyu watching? Woo… You see, the law is fair.”
“Lin Zhiyu is not free, maybe he is busy doing experiments…”
“The outside world is also reporting on this trial, exposing the true face of the Ruan family to the whole world. Beautiful!!!”
“……”
The trial was in the morning. Before the gossip of people on the Internet could subside, at six o’clock in the afternoon, the Chinese authorities issued another major announcement.
“#Lin Zhiyu donated the 19-step synthesis method of paclitaxel to the country for free# Professor Lin Zhiyu signed a patent transfer agreement at 3 o’clock this afternoon, donating the 19-step synthesis method of paclitaxel to the country. Chinese pharmaceutical companies can apply for it for free, and foreign pharmaceutical companies that are friendly to China can also apply for it for free. Professor Lin Zhiyu gave up the huge patent fees and devoted himself to research for the country and the people. He is the pride of China! China is proud of you!!!”
boom–
It was like a bomb was dropped, and the whole network was boiling!
“Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Is this true? This saves a lot of patent fees. Plus, this method can reduce costs. Won’t the price of the drug be reduced by more than half?!”
“Wow, this is the real gospel for the people!”
“Based on the money Zou Wenbin and Hao Tao made from selling their patents before, that’s tens of millions of US dollars—I feel heartbroken.”
“When Zou Wenbin and Hao Tao sold the patent, they were accused of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Lin Zhiyu is directly giving the goose that lays golden eggs to the country!”
“Oh my god, I can only say that I absolutely can’t do it. I am an ordinary person, I love money, and I dream of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars falling from the sky. But I sincerely admire such a great man. Yes, I would like to call him a great man, because people who are not great simply cannot be so selfless for the people.”
“Thinking back to when the entire internet was blackmailing Lin Zhiyu, I find it ridiculous, ironic, and pathetic!”
“What the person above said is right. This is the hardest slap in the face, but I think it can give everyone a chance to mend their ways. I believe that no one will ever blindly criticize Professor Lin Zhiyu in the future! Otherwise, more than a billion normal people will never forgive him!”
“Am I the only one who discovered this brilliant point? Lin Zhiyu has been hired as a professor! He must be the youngest and most handsome professor in history!!!”
“Scream! Can anyone tell me which university Lin Zhiyu teaches at? I will study hard and pass the postgraduate entrance examination to become his student—”
“……”
The whole network was shocked.
Some netizens also discovered that the official HuaXia website deliberately put this news with the news of Ruan Yanzheng’s trial.
The netizens couldn’t help but take a screenshot and post it immediately:
“Hahaha everyone, look at the picture, why do I feel like the white rabbit has turned black?”
The netizen below posted passionately: [It feels like our publicity staff has finally gotten the hang of it! ]
[Hahahaha, as if to say, “Didn’t you deliberately make comparisons on the foreign websites? After framing our Chinese scholars, you bought hot searches to step on us Chinese and praise your Ruan Group and Country M. Who can’t do that?”]
[Hahaha, the friend above is right, but we are more just and speak according to the facts! ]
……
The popularity of searches related to Lin Zhiyu reached its peak again, and even foreign countries reported on the matter.
Foreign netizens who saw the news couldn’t help but feel shocked and awe, and at the same time couldn’t hide their happiness.
Foreign pharmaceutical companies that are friendly to China can also apply, which means they can also enjoy such benefits! Domestic pharmaceutical companies xx and xxx, why don’t you hurry up and go?!
Foreign netizens were @ing crazily at their own pharmaceutical companies, it became lively.
However, with this news, the Ruan Group’s whitewashing plan completely failed.
Ruan, who had been trying to make a quick buck online by relying on the low prices he had set at the beginning, now looked more like a vicious and hypocritical clown in comparison.
Ruan Jiaojiao, who goes online every day, soon saw the news about Lin Zhiyu on the Internet and also saw the praise of Lin Zhiyu and the sarcasm of the Ruan family under the news.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes turned red and she bit her lips unconsciously. Her pale little face was tearful, like an innocent and pitiful rabbit.
Why…
Why?
Why is it that Lin Zhiyu is getting better and better after rejecting her and hurting her, while she and her family’s reputation is getting worse and worse?
Ruan Jiaojiao felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe. She cried and got into the quilt as if she had returned to the time when she was rejected…
That man was so handsome and beautiful, and she felt so suffocated and sad.
Lin Zhiyu seemed like the prince who could save her from the darkness, but in the end… it was just a facade. He didn’t care how much pain she was in and was unwilling to help her. Instead, he pushed her back into the abyss.
Now it’s even worse than before!
Why? Is there justice in this world?
Ruan Jiaojiao cried so much that her eyes went dark. It would be fine if the people who wronged her were not doing well, but why didn’t they get retribution after wronging her…
Just as Ruan Jiaojiao was sobbing, the cell phone beside the bed suddenly rang.
It was Hortez calling.
She raised her limp hand, dragged the phone slowly from the bedside as if she had no strength, and clicked on it to answer the call.
But in response to Hortez’s concerned inquiries, she said nothing and just kept sobbing.
This made Hortez very anxious, and he rushed out of the house and drove to Ruan’s manor in his sports car. When he saw Ruan Jiaojiao with red eyes crying, Hortez felt so distressed that his fists were in pain, and he hugged Ruan Jiaojiao in his arms.
“Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao…what’s wrong? Who bullied you?!! Why are you crying? Tell me, I will never let him off!”
Suddenly entering a warm embrace, Ruan Jiaojiao cried even harder.
But she still said nothing.
Hortez wanted to ask again, but when he saw the page on Ruan Jiaojiao’s phone, he immediately understood everything.
It’s Lin Zhiyu again!
Is Jiaojiao still in love with Lin Zhiyu?!
He will make sure that Lin Zhiyu dies a miserable death!
Ruan Jiaojiao saw that Hortez had seen her mobile page and hurriedly put away her phone. Hortez now hated Lin Zhiyu even more, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, “Jiaojiao, if you don’t want to say anything, how about I take you out for a walk? You’ll be much happier after you go for a drive.”
……
Which madman could understand the “justice” that Ruan Jiaojiao wants?
Anyway, Lin Zhiyu didn’t understand, and he didn’t have time to understand.
Looking at the dozen or so student files stuffed in front of him, Lin Zhiyu felt overwhelmed.
He knew that the college would give him a lot of students, but he didn’t expect there would be so many.
“Dean, aren’t these too many? And I don’t think it’s a good idea to take students from other teachers.”
“Can I be such a mean dean?” The dean looked at Lin Zhiyu with a smile, and he said amiably: “Three of them have been admitted, and the remaining nine files are for the candidates that the college is preparing to enroll. You can decide which ones you want, and we will hold another interview. In the end, we will enroll three at most.”
Lin Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief and first looked through the three admitted students.
“Is this the student Professor Zhang accepted?”
“Well, Professor Zhang is pregnant, and the results of her examination this time are not very good, so she can’t be overworked, so you can help her bring a few more.”
Lin Zhiyu thought about it and nodded: “Okay.”
Professor Zhang is about 40 years old and a very nice person. Even when he was still notorious, Professor Zhang was also very gentle.
The dean smiled and said, “You can take the files back and take a look at them slowly. If you decide to enroll them on the reserve list, we will interview them as soon as possible.”
“Dean, I need to take a look at the papers they published before. I’ll give you the list in three or four days.”
“Okay.” The dean said, and stood up to leave, teasing Lin Zhiyu, “It’s already nine o’clock, hurry up and get off work, otherwise your girlfriend will blame you for not having time to accompany her.”
Lin Zhiyu was stunned and smiled: “Dean, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“But, I heard that someone is waiting outside to pick you up almost every day?”
“That’s my brother.” Lin Zhiyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How could the dean eat melons so casually, but the melons were fake?
“Oh, your brother.” The dean successfully got the information that Lin Zhiyu was single, and his eyebrows twitched with laughter.
“My wife has a niece who is very outstanding. She just came back from studying in Country M. She is 26 years old and very beautiful. Her parents are very open-minded and she doesn’t have a partner. How about I introduce you to her? Just treat it as meeting a friend.”
The dean felt happy and relieved, as the task assigned by his wife could finally be completed!
Lin Zhiyu was a little embarrassed. It was the first time that an elder introduced him to a date. Just as he was about to politely decline, he heard a voice suddenly coming from the door.
“My gege has someone he likes, Dean.”
The two of them immediately looked towards the door, only to see Xie Youzhou walking in with a smile on his face. Xie Youzhou was a specially approved personnel who could protect Lin Zhiyu, so he had an access card to the institute.
The dean was stunned: “Is this true?” Is it impossible even for a young man like Xiao Lin, who is one in a billion, to pursue someone he likes?
Lin Zhiyu was also stunned, then immediately came to his senses and nodded.
“Yes, Dean, I have someone I like.”
“Where are they from? Are they also doing research?” The dean wanted to try again, “It’s better not to look for someone in the same field.”
“She’s not from the same profession, she’s a retired female soldier.” Xie Youzhou at the side said in a sonorous voice, “She’s my cousin. My brother has loved her since he was a child. She can crush two walnuts with one hand!”
The dean was shocked: “!”
“But her name is very nice and elegant. It’s Xie Youzhou, which means “You” in grapefruit. Xie Youzhou’s tone was so sincere that even a lie detector couldn’t detect any problem with him.
“After my brother fell in love with her, he only ate grapefruit and even changed his QQ name to ‘May You and I be with each other all the way’.”
Lin Zhiyu: “…………”
