Outside the door, Catherine looked at Zheng Jianguo's silent cheek with a complex expression, and felt as if something was blocked in her throat. After a long time, she turned into bursts of weakness: "did you give up like this?"
"In this matter, what I can do is limited. Just as you suggested me to invest, there are a lot of things involved, but I feel it makes no difference to you. Do your part, get the qualification of attending doctor and play for two years."
Holding his arms in his hands, Zheng Jianguo's eyes swept under his almost high hand. The reason why he proposed that Catherine should be the deputy director of the HIV Institute is that the purpose of showing her existence is far greater than her support. After all, Catherine's plan for life is to run for two years after she obtains the qualification of attending doctor.
If you give up two years in the field of Helicobacter pylori, Zheng Jianguo should review it well for a period of time, but if Catherine wants to major in HIV in the future, it doesn't matter if she plays for five years: "then come back and work for me."
"You just want me to work for you?"
I don't know what she thought. Catherine tilted her eyes, tilted her head and showed her white neck. Zheng Jianguo's eyes flickered and returned to her face. She smiled and said, "I feel that we cooperate well. You are a more responsible laboratory host - most importantly, you look good."
"Ha, I thought I couldn't hear you flirting. Did I feel that there would be no chance if I didn't say it again?"
Pursed her mouth and smiled her big eyes into a crescent moon. Catherine glanced at him again. Zheng Jianguo didn't hide his thoughts: "after all, good-looking will make people look better, while those who are not good-looking will be in a bad mood."
"You are the first to say I look good and don't disgust me. Thank you, boss."
The smile on her face gathered a little. Catherine thanked her again. Zheng Jianguo said a few words to her. Back in the office, he saw Esther and Fiona standing side by side, and said to the latter, "how does your father feel about me?"
"Oh, he was surprised that you could get the Lasker Award. Why did you think of asking him?"
When Fiona, who was smiling with a smile, immediately gathered her smile, Zheng Jianguo then said, "my biological company is preparing a pharmaceutical factory. If your father wants to make a condition --"
"Forget it. He has shares in the current factory."
Subconsciously shook her head and said, Fiona saw Zheng Jianguo nod and skip the topic: "pay attention when you two talk about me in private. Don't let people tie you up after listening, just like Serena."
"Do you care about us, too?"
When Fiona was stunned, Zheng Jianguo looked at Esther who was similar to her and said, "although our relationship is wrong, what I want to say is that I also care about you two. Am I shameless? Serena's whereabouts are unknown -- "
"No, I don't think our relationship is wrong. We met before Serena, and you shocked me. It turns out that having a relationship with you is a responsibility for you, thanks."
Holding her white forehead, Fiona was stunned. She had heard privately that although Chinese male stars were cowardly, they were more single-minded about feelings, but she didn't expect to hear this in Zheng Jianguo, a billionaire who won the Lasker prize: "are you still willing to be responsible?"
"What if I don't want to be responsible?"
Zheng Jianguo suddenly shook his head. To tell the truth, he felt that these two women were likely to be the biggest trouble in his future, because it involved emotional problems, not the kind of situation he met in some clubs.
Sure enough, as Zheng Jianguo's idea flashed, Fiona raised her eyebrows and said, "I will tell the media that I don't want to be responsible after you sleep. This is a reaction that women will do. I will too. I just want to stay with you. You won't want to."
"Well, if you care about your safety, you can be responsible. If it's the promise of marriage, no, because Serena and I met before you.
Now she is still missing. I won't talk about her feelings with other women at this time. I just want you two to pay attention to your safety, for you and me. "
When Zheng Jianguo shook her head, Fiona shrugged her shoulders, picked up her arms and looked at Esther next to her. To be honest, she didn't expect Zheng Jianguo to think about herself: "I didn't think about it. I just remembered that I made the wrong choice at that time. If I wanted to say that I was attracted by your ability, fame and wealth, would you think I was -- cheap?"
"Considering that you didn't say it was because I was handsome that attracted you, I don't think you were too cheap, because there is a slang in my family called beauty, which means that a man's ability, that is, ability, is more important than appearance.
Women, on the other hand, are just the opposite. Some women who are too assertive do not conform to the beauty of traditional Chinese cognition. They will think they can do it. Just like Serena went to see the century wedding, she thinks the security personnel I arranged for him are redundant. "
Zheng Jianguo did not know that out of his worry about Yang Na's whereabouts, he magnified Yang Na's responsibility in the disappearance. In addition, he had doubts about her identity in his heart. The end of her was not brought to her by others, but the recognition of the consequences of her choice at that time: "under what circumstances would you two be unwilling to have our security personnel follow?"
"Before your property is exposed, I will feel that it is a bit of a fuss and a bit of a worry."
Fiona frowned and thought about it. When she said it, she remembered that Esther didn't say it from beginning to end, so she turned her head and looked at it: "Esther, what about you?"
"I, I'm different from you."
Esther seemed to summon up the courage to say, but Fiona suddenly changed her white face after she was stunned: "I know I've been with other men -"
"It's the same now. You approached me with that excuse, didn't you?"
Zheng Jianguo opened his mouth and interrupted Fiona's voice, which was more than ten decibels higher. Seeing that Esther wanted to shake his head, he nodded: "yes, I used that excuse to approach you at that time. I won't refuse the security personnel you arranged for me, because I'm glad to have your feelings and care. Do you want us to accompany you now?"
"No, I just told you to pay attention to your safety. Now I want to get Serena back as soon as possible. Of course, if you feel you can end it, you can tell me, let's get together and break up -"
Zheng Jianguo got the answer he wanted from the two women, but Zheng Jianguo didn't think of anything to happen with them. Soon after Harris bought breakfast for the two, he learned that his Dean Val appeared with the new secretary of Harvard University, Argus. After a brief understanding of the progress of the two laboratories, he sat down in his office.
After taking the coffee from Esther, Dean Val smiled and said, "Zheng, considering that Helicobacter pylori is originally the scope of the gastrointestinal system, schools and hospitals are going to move the Institute of unknown virus to the medical school.
The Helicobacter pylori Institute is still here. Schools and hospitals are going to hire you as the director of the Institute and Esther as the assistant director. "
"Yes, Zheng, the school and hospital have fully taken into account your academic research results and have been enough to pass the assessment of PhD in the joint training program. Now, when you finish the intensive training in basic knowledge from the school in half a year, you can reach the assessment of MD in two years, and then you will become the youngest attending doctor in the United States."
Argus, who is wearing gold wire glasses, is white and tall. He has rich facial expressions when talking. But Zheng Jianguo knows what he means. It is obviously an affirmation of himself, but in some ways it is almost an open condition. You will be qualified as an attending doctor in two years.
This is a full two years ahead of the fastest four years in Zheng Jianguo's plan!
After thinking about it, Zheng Jianguo smiled with his coffee and said, "does Catherine want to go too?"
"Yes, Catherine will become the assistant director of the unknown virus research institute. Speaking of this, I have to admire director Zheng for your ability to lead joint trainees. Catherine and Esther can reach their current height in less than a year. This is your good teaching -"
The smile behind Argus's glasses was a little stiff, but with his words, this stiffness disappeared: "so the hospital decided to provide you with a special parking space, so you don't have to park in the public parking lot."
"Really? Then I want to thank the hospital. "
After raising his eyebrows, Zheng Jianguo said excitedly that he didn't expect to enjoy this privilege in advance. The reason why he cared about this parking space was that it was only the privilege of the Nobel Prize winner. For him, the symbolic significance was greater than the practical significance - the personal parking space in the hospital was no more than $1000 a year.
Hearing Zheng Jianguo finally let go, Val's smile was much brighter. He thought he would be the director of the unknown virus laboratory again, so he asked eagerly: "you deserve it. The employment ceremony is scheduled at 14 p.m. and several reporters will be invited. It seems that the rule of answering three questions a day is going to be broken?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Argus to hear about it, but today is different. Make an exception."
Unexpectedly, the new school secretary would make a good joke. All Zheng Jianguo can do is promise. The conditions offered by the hospital are rich. The officially hired director is much better than the previous semi white and non black laboratory host.
At least, Zheng Jianguo's name card can be added with this title: "director of Helicobacter pylori Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of atomic graphite layer Laboratory of solid state physics at Harvard University - no wonder director Amy is going out for a meeting?"
The operation of Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital is quite wonderful. According to the classification, the Helicobacter pylori Institute in charge of Zheng Jianguo is a field in the digestive system. His institute is only an integral part of the center. According to the normal rules, it is impossible for the heads of his departments to have a high allocation. At most, it is just for the deputy director in charge of the work.
But Zheng Jianguo's director is at the same level as Amy, the director of the digestion center. No wonder people are going out for a meeting.
Is this a silent protest?
Remembering that there was nothing unusual in director Amy's phone call yesterday, Zheng Jianguo felt that people did it to this extent, and the hospital was too bullying?
Or the Lasker prize.
Without much effort, Zheng Jianguo found out the reason for such differential treatment, but he didn't know how many people were jealous and hindered the affairs of many people along the way. This state of mind was just thrown behind his head when he received the letter of appointment: "it's mediocre not to be envied."
"Congratulations, boss."
Zheng Jianguo's employment ceremony was quite grand. When Esther waited until he could talk to him, he had sent away many big men of the school principal and school manager. Only with her words did she export it. He saw Zheng Jianguo knead some painful cheeks and was obviously relieved: "well, it's over at last. When outsiders call the director in the future, let me have a good official addiction."
"OK, boss."
When Esther smiled at Zheng Jianguo, his eyes shrunk and looked over his shoulder at the door of the office, wondering: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Oh, I'll find director Zheng."
Aubrey Bates shrugged his shoulders and nodded with a smile. After Zheng Jianguo turned to see him, he opened his mouth with a smile: "Esther, this is Mr. Aubrey, a senior federal agent of the FBI. Go and bring two cups of coffee."
"OK!"
The smile on her white cheek was frozen. Esther quickly looked at Zheng Jianguo and left. Aubrey Bates watched her disappear. When she entered the office, she put her hand in her arms and said, "director Zheng, I'm very sorry to disturb your mood. This is related to your safety. According to the authorization you gave us before, We monitored all the parcels sent to you. In an anonymous package sent out from Montana the day before yesterday, we found this thing -- "
When Aubrey said this, he took out the envelope in his hand. After Zheng Jianguo took it, he found that it was a stack of color photos. The first one was an ordinary postal package, which clearly wrote the sender's information and his own information.
The second is a close-up photo of a sheet containing information, mailing address, telephone number, postmark, etc.
The third is a picture of the packaging and tape.
The fourth is a book called ice brother.
The fifth is a letter printed by a typewriter. The beginning is dear Zheng. This is a book I like very much. I want to recommend it to you to read it well——
The sixth is a neat space cut by a paper cutter next to the title page of the book, which is composed of wires, switches, alarm clocks and two white iron tubes.
Seeing here, Zheng Jianguo raised his head: "is that the bomber?"
"Yes, in terms of bomb making techniques."
Aubrey, who had looked at Zheng Jianguo carefully, nodded, stretched out some short fingers, pointed to the two iron tubes in the picture and said, "among the two iron tubes, one is black powder, the other is full of gasoline, and the igniter is a match."
"This guy really has an eye on me?"
Looking at the messy layout and trigger thread in the photo, Zheng Jianguo was attracted by a dark red stain on the white iron pipe: "what's this?"
