Volume 7: Frost Chapter 71 Visit
Zhuang Zekun finally agreed to send the body to the mountain to seal it. He handed the matter over to Su Wangshu. Su Wangshu took a lot of effort to settle the relationship between all parties, and then went to Tangjiang with Director Jia.
Zhong Minghong sent Wang Jin down the mountain to look for Zhong Yan and Ren Qingning.
So as soon as Zhong Yan and Ren Qingning returned to the research institute, they saw Wang Jin standing in the hall waiting for them.
Zhong Yan asked: "Sister Wang, why are you here?"
"Master Zhong asked me to come here," Wang Jin looked at Ren Qingning and said, "You are Uncle Ren, right?"
"Yes," Ren Qingning nodded, "Let's go to my office and talk."
Ren Qingning's office is also on the second floor.
After walking out of the elevator, Ren Qingning saw Ji Xiaozhen and a man walking side by side in the corridor.
Zhong Yan knew the man and said, "Uncle Su."
Su Wangshu also recognized him and asked with a smile, "Are you back from Luo Town?"
“Just arrived.”
After exchanging pleasantries, the group went to their respective offices.
Ren Qingning's office is at the end of the corridor. It is not big, but it is decorated very elegantly. After Zhong Yan and Wang Jin sat down, Ren Qingning made some tea and placed it next to them. Then he asked Wang Jin, "What happened?"
Wang Jin explained the cause and effect in detail.
Ren Qingning's face gradually became gloomy.
Wang Jin seemed to feel the pressure, and his speech speed became faster and faster. Finally, he said: "Master Zhong, please escort the body up the mountain."
"This doesn't make sense!" Ren Qingning slapped the table and stood up. After pacing back and forth in the office a few times, he asked Wang Jin: "Was this decided by Manager Zhong, or Mr. Zhuang..."
"It was Immortal Zhang who decided it," Wang Jin also stood up. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "The government should have agreed to it as well."
Ren Qingning thought for a moment and asked, "Has anything happened on the mountain recently?"
Wang Jin shook his head, "No, except..."
"What?"
"Junior Sister Tang brought two people to the mountain."
"I know that," Ren Qingning took a sip of tea from the cup and sat down. Then he said, "I will do it. I just felt it was a pity. I have been involved in these projects, but they were suddenly terminated. I just felt sorry for them. It's such a pity." After sighing, he asked Wang Jin, "How does Director Zhong plan to place Jiang You?"
Wang Jin replied: "I heard that he will come down the mountain."
"Master Zhang also agreed?" Ren Qingning was a little surprised.
Wang Jin recounted what happened after Jiang You went up the mountain, and then said, "Maybe Jiang You and Immortal Zhang said something in the pavilion at that time, and Master Zhong might know it."
"This person does have some extraordinary means." Ren Qingning said.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that someone could build a lake in the desert." Zhong Yan echoed.
"Building a lake in the desert?" Wang Jin was a little confused.
"Yes, there is a poplar forest beside the lake. This time, Master Ren and I went out to see that wonder." Then, Zhong Yan told him about what he saw and heard in Luo Town and the desert. Finally, he said with emotion: "If it were an era with abundant spiritual energy, I'm afraid I would become a great man who opened up a new world."
Wang Jin thought for a moment and said, "No wonder Immortal Zhang couldn't keep him."
"The secrets of the small world, in fact, the institute has also done in-depth research. As far as I know, some of the results have been put into use. Of course, they are very simple and cannot operate independently. They cannot be compared with the real small world." Ren Qingning saw the incredulous expressions of Zhong Yan and Wang Jin. He smiled and said, "When I first came down the mountain, I was just like you. I didn't believe they could research anything..."
"No, no," Zhong Yan shook his head. "Now many of the equipment on the mountain are provided by the government. Director Zhong has always said that the hope of cultivators may be in the secular world."
Wang Jin also said: "The mountains are very different now than they were in the past."
"Then I'll have to take a good look when I get back to the mountain this time. But after the remains are sent to the mountain, the research on the small world may have to stop," Ren Qingning said with some regret. "Give them some more time, ten or twenty years, I think it will not be more than a hundred years at most, and the secret of the small world will be cracked ." Then he stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the laboratory to have a look. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance in the future."
"Can we go and see?" Zhong Yan asked.
"Of course, I am also involved in this project. For us, this is not a secret. I will talk to Teacher Ji later," Ren Qingning said as he stood up. "Your junior sister has also visited this project. This small world is very special..."
Ren Qingning took Zhong Yan and Wang Jin to Ji Xiaozhen's office first, and found that in addition to Su Wangshu, Director Jia was also in the office.
After introducing each other, Ren Qingning told Director Jia and Ji Xiaozhen the purpose of his visit. Director Jia agreed immediately, and then Ren Qingning and the other two went to the laboratory.
After the project was suspended, there were only Lin Shunan and Chang Lizhang in the laboratory.
Chang Lizhang looked at the time. It was almost five o'clock. He tidied up the documents on his desk and stood up.
Seeing this, Lin Shunan asked: "Are you going out today?"
Chang Lizhang replied: "My kid is here, I'll go back and cook two dishes for him."
"Jin Cheng? Is he in Tangjiang?"
"Who else could it be besides him?" Chang Lizhang put his phone into his bag. "Tomorrow is the weekend. He has an appointment with some of his seniors. What are they going to do..." Chang Lizhang thought about it, but couldn't remember. "Well, it's just something young people . I don't understand it."
Lin Shunan understood very well, he said: "Then you should leave early, it might rain soon, there is nothing to do here..."
As the two were talking, the doorbell rang. Chang Lizhang walked to the door in two or three steps, opened it, and saw Ren Qingning, Zhong Yan, and Wang Jin standing behind the door.
"Master Ren, you're back? Are you looking for Dr. Lin?" Chang Lizhang asked.
Ren Qingning said: "I'll bring them here for a tour."
Chang Lizhang was about to say something when Lin Shunan spoke up and said, "Uncle Chang, you can get off work. I'll do it."
"Well, I'll be leaving first."
After Chang Lizhang left, Ren Qingning said to Lin Shunan: "Just follow the process, they will cooperate."
"Just take a look outside?" Lin Shunan asked.
"I want to go in."
Lin Shunan thought of what happened before and hesitated, "Some equipment is turned off..."
"Director Jia and Teacher Ji both agreed," Ren Qingning said, "I will go in with them. If anything goes wrong, I will get them out immediately. Don't worry."
"Then...wait a moment, let me confirm." Lin Shunan said.
"good."
Lin Shunan walked back to his desk and after confirming with Ji Xiaozhen, he said to Ren Qingning and the other two, "Come with me."
