Chapter 12:

Early the next morning after the celebration party ended, David received a call from Roche's headquarters in Switzerland.
"Hello, is it David Andorio?" A weak voice came from the other end of the phone.
"it's me."
"Oh! God! I finally connected you! This Huaguo phone call is really amazing. I have been on the phone for an entire afternoon from work to now. The first one was an old man, I thought I had a wrong number. Then I called again and was scolded by him. Only later did I know what post office calls Huaguo needed to transfer, and there was a lady with a strange accent at the back. We invited almost all Luo's Chinese employees successfully contacted you. This is really a magical experience." The person on the other end of the phone seemed very excited.
David let out a burst of joyful laughter, and he was delighted to hear the experience of his colleagues. How do you think the dark circles on David's face came from? He was fighting wits and aunts at the Huaguo Telephone Transfer Station last night. It is so comforting to hear that someone has the same experience as him.
"I solemnly inform you, Mr. Andorio. President Robert invites you back to Switzerland to report on your work and talk about the practical tips you have discovered."
So David rejected the suggestion of the Ministry of Health and Haidong Province to hold a grand signing ceremony, and took a plane back to Xiangjiang in the morning.
When David left, he was smiling and full of spirits. He also specially left Li Zheng his residence and phone number in Xiangjiang, and he repeatedly assured that the patent document would be delivered to Li Zheng as soon as possible. on.
As for the preparation of the pharmaceutical factory, David said that he will hire a manager to be the head of the Yangproline pharmaceutical factory, and he will be responsible for all matters.
This decision caught many people by surprise. Before the reform and opening up, there were only state-owned enterprises in China, and the relationship between government and enterprises was intertwined and complicated. It was normal for executive leaders to intervene in enterprises. Even sometimes, the number of employees in newly-built factories is allocated among officials as benefits.
These people take it for granted that it is the same for foreigners to build factories. As soon as news came out that Roche was going to invest and build a factory in Yantian County, many well-informed people broke their legs and went up and down, waiting for the new factory to be built and stuffing relatives and friends in.
Now telling them that the new factory is completely in charge of an unfamiliar manager, and they can't get involved at all. This is undoubtedly a blue sky for these people!
Especially Wang Aijuan, she has become an ant on a hot pot. She knew about her son being dropped out of school, but just like Yang Kaijian, she felt that entering a foreign factory was more promising than going to school. However, foreign factory workers are recruited uniformly by the so-called managers and require high school education or above
As soon as this condition came out, Wang Aijuan couldn't lift it up in one breath, and almost passed by. She really didn't know how to explain to Yang Sheng.

Since the foreign friend incident, Li Zheng has become famous in Qinghe Town. When the town residents mentioned Li Zheng, they said, "Li Jiahua has a good future, can speak foreign languages, and can make friends with foreigners. The pharmaceutical factory was built by Li Zheng persuading his foreign friends to build it!" He looked like Yourong Yan.
Zhou Sitian was also wondering how her younger brother could suddenly speak foreign languages, but when Li Zheng took out two boxes of foreign language books from the bed, she fell silent.
These two boxes of foreign books were left by Li's mother. Li's mother was a college student. She had gone to France to study before, but it was not long after returning to China that she encountered political turmoil.
In any case, it would be a disgraceful thing to leave the child's husband and flee. Zhou Sitian hates her for abandoning herself and Li's father, so she extremely rejects everything about Li's mother. Therefore, when Li Zheng moved out the two boxes of books, she just glanced at it and walked out quickly.
Li Zheng let out a sigh of relief. It seems that Zhou Sitian is not clear about the specific content of these foreign documents left by Li's mother. Some of his own changes in the future can be pushed to the head of these books.
Li Zheng put the books back under the bed, and when he pushed the box in, a stack of books in the box suddenly fell over. Li Zheng sighed, squatted down to pick up the book, and a black leather notebook appeared in front of him.
The black notebook is very delicate, with fancy English on the leather, which should be something from abroad. Li Zheng hesitated, sat down cross-legged, and opened his notebook.
This is Li's mother's diary, written in a mixture of English and French, and it records her mental journey from when she was sent to escape from Li's house.
Li's mother was born in a good family. His father was a high-ranking member of the Huajing Railway Industry, and his mother was a lecturer at Huajing University. The political storm of 1968 changed this happy family at once. Unbearable, his mother jumped off the Huajing University building and died. Xiang Xiao. Li's mother and her father were sent to Qinghe Town together.
The father and daughter drank the fish in the fishing ground during the day and had only a simple house to keep out the cold at night, and their lives were very poor. And because of being decentralized, the residents of Qinghe Town are very unfriendly to him.
One day, there was a sudden rainstorm during the day, and Mrs. Li’s father Zhao Guanghua took back the dried fish and got caught in the rain. He developed a high fever that night. The old man’s immune system was weak and the high fever persisted. Mother Li was so anxious that she went to the town health clinic to get medicine overnight. On the way to get the medicine this time, she met Zhou Sitian's father, a vagrant Zhou Deqing.
The night, the heavy rain, the beautiful women walking in the rain, and the healthy young men, a tragedy happened.
Zhou Deqing believed that Li's mother was a woman, and she was a politically wrong woman. She would only swallow the pain, but did not expect that Li's mother received a Western education and even joined a feminist society during college.
Li's mother stood up, and the whole town was upset. Zhou Deqing was taken away, but at the same time, the life of Li's father and daughter was even more sad.
Reality smoothed the edges and corners of Li's mother. She finally understood that blindly idealism would only make her and her father's life more difficult, so she saw Li's father. A thoughtful and educated woman who has experienced the influence of French romanticism is almost fatal to men, even if she has a daughter born by mistake.
Li Zheng showed a complicated look on his face. He could understand but did not agree with Li's behavior, and put the notebook back in the box.
"You never know what you have lost. He left with a grudge against you." Li Zheng said softly and slowly closed the box.
"Sister, I'll go to the post office."
"Okay, come back before lunch!"
After the incident at the guest house, Li Zheng finally realized that he is no longer the former Cold Spring Harbor researcher, honorary professor of Huaqing University, and head of the National Pharmaceutical Research Laboratory. He is now a fisherman, a fisherman whose father is missing and his mother ran away, leaving only his sister who is dependent on each other.
God let him be born again in this life, he must cherish it. Therefore, Li Zheng intends to send this paper on his hand, forget about "Science" and "Nature". He is an unknown high school student's paper, I am afraid that he does not even have the qualifications to submit the first review.
A journal with a decent impact factor and a low threshold. Li Zheng wanted to break his head and finally thought of a "Microbiology", which is a highly American biological journal, jointly founded by several Ivy League universities in the United States. Most importantly, he It is the journal that implements the blind review system best. As long as your paper passes the review of three approved reviewers, it can be published in the journal without exception.
"Microbe" has made a lot of jokes because of this, but at the same time it is the place where genius is most likely to emerge.
Li Zheng walked through several lanes to the door of the post office.
In the post office, several aunts licked sunflower seeds and chatted loudly.
"Do you know that Zhou Deqing has come out."
"Zhou Deqing? Who is Zhou Deqing?"
"It's not that strong woman who committed the crime, the wife of Li Qiang, who came out last week. My cousin saw him when he went to Yantian County. He also asked my cousin about his daughter."
"His daughter? Zhou Sitian? Will he come to her?"
"There is no one in the old Zhou's house anymore. He came out alone, just such a daughter. Can he come?"
Li Zheng could no longer hear what the aunts were saying, so he turned around and ran away to the house. Zhou Sitian, sister, you can't do anything!
Li Zheng ran into the house breathlessly, and almost tripped over the threshold because of his soft legs. Zhou Sitian came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice cakes, her cheeks were rubbed with black ash from the roasted rice cakes.
"What are you running? I keep the rice cakes for you." She looked at Li Zheng amusedly.
Li Zheng looked at Zhou Sitian up and down, and he felt nothing unusual. He felt relieved and sat down at the table.
"Nothing, I'm afraid you will steal my share."
Zhou Sitian rolled her eyes, and her younger brother became less cute.
"You didn't send the letter, why didn't you post it?"
Li Zheng glanced at the wrinkled envelope in the corner of his hand, curled his lips, "Suddenly I don't want to post it, let's go another day."

On the other hand, Xiaohe was fired by the guest house for accusing Li Zheng of stealing something. No one in Qinghe Town dared to use him like a person who lied in front of the governor and was registered.
The girlfriend who had been talking for a long time fell out because of this incident. Xiaohe was waiting at the door of Yang Kaijian's house. He wanted to ask for an explanation for himself! He listened to Wang Chengcai and Yang Kaijian's words, so he would slander Li Zheng for stealing things.
It's not that he didn't want to go to Wang Chengcai. Wang Chengcai's family is in Yantian County, and he lives in the county government office. He can't get in at all. Yang Kaijian is different, his family is not far from Xiaohe family, and Yang family is richer than Wang family.
Xiaohe had already planned, and asked Yang Kaijian to get a sum of money, and then went to sea for business!
