"A girl who can control her emotions -"
Remembering Joanna's words, deeds and interpersonal relationships during this trip, Zheng Jianguo suddenly found that she was always before she spoke, as if people were unaware of her existence.
Once she spoke, she didn't say a word of nonsense. If you think back carefully now, you can still remember her dialogue with the crown prince. The lady image of the noble lady jumped out of your mind.
Who were they talking about? Howard? Or Edward?
Vaguely thinking about Joanna, Zheng Jianguo found that even when he looked back, he could feel that he didn't like this type at the bottom of his heart, and subconsciously seemed to be avoiding getting along with her.
Why?
She's only a few seconds older than Camille——
Looking at Old John's calm eyes, Zheng Jianguo suddenly thought of a previously neglected problem from his words: "old John, you say she is a standard noble lady, that means that the girl is mature beyond her age?"
As if to confirm the idea in Zheng Jianguo's mind, old John shrugged and said, "in fact, it's not surprising that Miss Joanna, as the eldest daughter of the family, shoulders the responsibilities entrusted to her by the family.
That is, they have no brothers. To shoulder the inheritance of the family, according to the aristocratic tradition, they need to find a door-to-door son-in-law, just as the queen does -- "
"Then you recommend her to me?"
When Zheng Jianguo's face was a little green, old John was still nothing different: "I said earlier that he was the most suitable candidate around you. According to my contact in New York these days, Joanna and Camille's father, Mr. Frank, did not have a title.
Besides, the Italian royal family has long disappeared like the French royal family. The aristocracy is only discussed according to the royal blood relationship of Britain. Even if there is a title, it is meaningless, and the goal of loyalty is gone.
Well, as Miss Joanna, I personally think it is very suitable for you to be madam. They have been taught to shoulder family responsibilities since childhood -- "
"This is too clever, isn't it?"
An idea suddenly came to mind. Zheng Jianguo finally found out how she didn't like Joanna. Her maturity beyond her age made her lose her innocence at the age of 15. Isn't it like Wu Zetian who entered the palace?
"Because only young ladies who have received noble etiquette can practice the proverb" no matter how much they lose, the family must be complete "said by Ellie in the rich family gratitude and resentment after marriage. Of course, fewer and fewer young ladies who have received this kind of training --"
The rare white face of flowers showed loneliness. Old John bowed to Zheng Jianguo and continued to say, "Mr. Ma needs to shoulder the responsibility of running a family outside to fight for the family. These are my experience and suggestions."
"Well, thank you, old John -"
Camille's cheek appeared in front of him. Zheng Jianguo nodded slowly. He couldn't provoke Joanna, otherwise he would have no morality: "I'll refer to your suggestions."
As a sign that the topic could end, Zheng Jianguo turned and picked up the address book next to him. Because he should say hello before he left, there were just some ordinary people in the messages on it.
Lang, the owner of the fruit supermarket on the Chinese street, is in China. Liu kaicai, the cook who opened a fried chicken shop, Yang Zhen, the owner of the second-hand store, and he Dawei, the unknown virus laboratory.
Of course, from Zheng Jianguo's point of view, he may want to inquire about something. After all, the director of the unknown virus laboratory suddenly changed people, and the relationship between the two people in the past was invalid.
But now this kind of thing is no longer in Zheng Jianguo's mind. After a look, he found that there were three or four students who had a big class in Harvard Medical School last year, so he didn't want to reply to the congratulatory call.
Yes, of the dozen phone calls recorded by brown, the vast majority were congratulatory calls, while the others were interns Bernard, Celia of the Massachusetts Institute of technology, angelica, the representative of allied medicine, and fisher of the Harvard Department of physics.
Among them, Professor Fisher needs to call back, at least to let the other party know that he is back. However, when Zheng Jianguo dialed the other party's phone, he learned that he was out for a meeting.
"At this point, I went to the digestive center in the afternoon. Oh, it should be the work of Helicobacter pylori Institute now. Andy, you can go home and have a rest. Why didn't you see Harris?"
He said to Andy next to him. Zheng Jianguo remembered that Harris and the Colonel were not there. He saw Andy say, "the demolition on the left of the Empire State building needs a large number of people, so they all passed by. I won't go back. I'll pick you up at night and go home."
"That's good."
Nodded, Zheng Jianguo turned to look at Old John: "old John, did you go after lunch or now?"
"I'll leave after checking Brown's work. You don't have to worry about me."
Crooked his head, old John turned unhappily into the house, leaving Zheng Jianguo to pick up the phone and dial Hao Yun: "have my parents returned to Shanxian?"
"He's gone. The train he got on before and Professor Kong's case. The public security said he couldn't afford it. Can he pay separately?"
When Hao Yun's voice came, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect this statement. Fortunately, he just thought about it and said, "it's no problem. Let him pay it back slowly. I'm not unreasonable. Let's follow the law.
As for the nature of his poster, I hope the public security organs will take it seriously. This man's mind is too vicious. It's like I bully others and deliberately bully him - "
"OK, I see."
Hao Yun said a few more things about his family and hung up the phone. Zheng Jianguo now thought of Professor Kong's actions and hated his teeth. Fortunately, he remembered that he had been arrested by the public security. Augustus also wanted nongshaoshan to taste the taste of bullying. His hatred gradually subsided.
Only Zheng Jianguo put down the phone and saw it jump up again. Soon, before he picked it up, he heard Esther's voice from the microphone: "Hello, is Dr. Zheng at home?"
"Hi, Esther, I haven't been back for two hours. I'll go to the research institute later -"
The beautiful scenery under Esther's white coat suddenly appeared in front of him. Zheng Jianguo felt that there was more saliva in his mouth. He didn't say it, and there were signs of accelerated secretion of dopamine in his brain. He calculated that he hadn't tasted meat for two months. God pity how hard he had been when he faced Camille: "how's your side?"
"The biological materials sent by Aubrey the day before yesterday have been tested. Can you believe it? He even brought chicken blood -- "
Esther's voice was full of joy. Zheng Jianguo was stabbed by Aubrey's contempt, but his attention was not on it now. He subconsciously said, "well, when you see him, you can consider asking him if the chicken has committed a crime -"
"Hehe, we're glad to hear that you can come back. See you in the afternoon, boss."
Esther's voice disappeared, and Zheng Jianguo put down the phone. Only when he thought that "we" were all members of the Institute, when he arrived at the Institute in the afternoon, he found that it was not the case at all: "Fiona, you came here to work?"
"Yes."
Watching Andy turn and leave the office, Fiona smiled and turned her hair to Zheng Jianguo. When she found that his eyes really fell on his hair, her fingers had been pressed on his chest. After blinking his long and thick eyelashes, she held his blue tie and exhaled, "you need to know the research progress of unknown viruses, In exchange, I'll -- oh -- "
As Fiona's scream spread, the office fell into silence. More than half an hour later, the door of the nearby lounge opened. Zheng Jianguo, who changed into a white coat, sat down at the desk. With a charming face, Esther quickly picked up some cold coffee: "I'll change a cup for you."
"Wash your face by the way."
Fiona took out her long blond hair from the collar of her white coat and watched Esther go out in a hurry. Then she looked at Zheng Jianguo silently: "I can't believe you can hold it."
"Think about it and you can't help it -"
Zheng Jianguo, who has just relaxed, is now bursting with satisfaction. Therefore, facing his first woman, he doesn't have too stingy sweet words. He doesn't want Fiona to turn her head and look at him again: "do you still wear that thing?"
"You're not like Esther -"
Shaking his head, Zheng Jianguo said that when he saw Esther coming in with coffee, the charm on her face had disappeared. He didn't want Fiona to say, "what would you think if I said she was pregnant?"
"No, she won't get pregnant with the risk of destroying the doctor's career."
Subconsciously looked at Esther. After Zheng Jianguo finished, he found that she looked over, sat up straight and said, "I know it's shameless to do this, but in today's situation - you can mention the conditions except marriage!"
"No, Fiona is joking. We haven't been together for more than two months. How can I conceive without you? You are the only boyfriend I have. "
Esther looked at Fiona silently and said positively. Zheng Jianguo was moved by her words, and immediately said, "I know. In your temperament, if I didn't feel like I'd never seen the world, I'm afraid I wouldn't take the initiative to find me -"
"At that time, I just thought you were lucky and would never become an expert in the field in the future."
As if remembering his joking deal at that time, Esther's white cheek showed a sense of shyness again. When Zheng Jianguo looked at her forefinger, Fiona next to her said, "well, it seems that among the few people who have a relationship with you, I'm the simplest --"
"You just jump and like to play -"
Glancing at Fiona standing next to her, Zheng Jianguo pinched Esther's hand, loosened it, and said to her, "you are all good girls, but I am a scum man -"
"Why do you think so? You're not a scum man. Scum men cheat money, sex and people. Some force their girlfriends to stand in the street to feed him. That's called scum man.
And scum men will never say they are scum men. They will use all kinds of excuses to escape their due obligations. "
She shook her head in surprise. Fiona didn't expect to hear such words from Zheng Jianguo's mouth. She stared at Zheng Jianguo with her eyes wide open as if she were watching aliens. Then she reached out and took his hand and said, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be such a responsible person. We're nothing. Boys and girls make more boyfriend and girlfriend before marriage, Not at all.
If you don't get married and have a family, you don't have to abide by those responsibilities. Do you think Harvard is full of good students like you? Do you know how many Harvard students have to drop out every year because they can't have an abortion because of their faith? "
"I just feel sorry for you -"
Zheng Jianguo nodded slowly. He didn't know about other colleges of Harvard University. However, he knew four from the medical school. He didn't know how many secretly chose abortion.
Of course, when Zheng Jianguo talked about children with the two people at the moment, he couldn't stop thinking: "do you know IVF?"
"In vitro fertilization?"
After Esther and Fiona Qiqi were surprised, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect that they didn't know, so he said: "this is the technology of the previous year. Professor Edwards of Britain carried out the research, but his research has limitations. If you have nothing to do, you can understand. I plan to take this as the starting point for my next project --"
"This is no problem. Do you want to move to this field?"
When Esther nodded, Fiona didn't know what she thought. Her delicate face showed hesitation and said, "do you really give up the unknown virus? No more research in the future? "
"Well, I feel that someone is doing research now, and repeated research will cause waste. What I'm talking about is an emerging hot field, which can help people who can't get pregnant normally to have children -"
Remembering that it was not easy to throw out the pot of HIV in the next 20 years, Zheng Jianguo certainly won't be full and have to grab it back. The reason why he mentioned assisted reproductive technology at this moment is mainly because he thought of Fiona, who is also the first woman in her life, and let her spend her best age on this virus, That's too cruel: "of course, this project is just my idea. You two can do your homework in advance if you have nothing to do."
"This is preparing for a new project -"
When Fiona nodded, she also remembered the fact that Zheng Jianguo also had other laboratories. Aside from the one still in preparation, he is now in charge of the three laboratories of MIT, Harvard University and the general hospital. I don't know how many of the following projects.
But thinking about this guy's wealth, Fiona's previous hesitation completely disappeared: "although there are not many scientists with talent, there are few who have talent and money to do research."
