Chapter 621
Wang Junkang: Do you want to be a housewife? Experimental data lost, Angong Niuhuang Wan
Inside a Cantonese restaurant on the fifth floor of Xintiandi Plaza in Harbin.
Wang Junkang and Guan Xin sat down and chatted, enjoying each other's company.
At this moment, Wang Junkang couldn't help but think to himself: Dad is really shrewd and calculating!
It's impossible for a man not to be lustful. If he isn't lustful, then he must either be physically weak or psychologically abnormal.
Wang Junkang is not like that; it's just that his childhood experiences have instilled in him a very persistent pursuit of good health.
Guan Xin is a very beautiful girl, comparable to her sister Wang Yifei.
At 169 cm tall, this height is not considered short for a woman.
She weighed only 93 pounds, but she was plump in the right places and thin in the right places, such as her waist. Wang Junkang finally understood what the book meant by a waist that could be encircled with one hand. Guan Xin's waist was just like that.
She has a gentle and elegant demeanor, yet also a somewhat aloof air.
She is three years older than him and works in the public sector.
After a conversation, Wang Junkang realized that Guan Xin was indeed much better than Qiu Yu'en.
In terms of salary, Guan Xin might not be as good as him, because salaries within the system are generally not high.
However, in other aspects, Guan Xin is indeed better than Qiu Yu'en.
Simply put, Guan Xin is the kind of obedient girl who, following her parents' wishes, graduated from the Foreign Languages Department of Peking University, entered a government agency, went on blind dates step by step, had a clean social circle, and was a very ordinary girl.
Guan Xin also mentioned that Wang Junkang was her third blind date.
"Then why didn't the previous two work out?"
"They are excellent, but I don't really like them," Guan Xin said frankly.
"I prefer people who are in the system like me, or even military personnel. That way, things are more stable, and I don't have to worry too much, so I can focus on my own work."
Wang Junkang asked:
"You love your job? You don't want to be a housewife, right?"
Guan Xin shook her head:
“My mother isn’t a housewife either, so I don’t want to become that kind of person.”
She really didn't want to become a housewife; otherwise, her future would only revolve around her children and husband, which would be too boring.
Although she works within the system, it's a rather boring job to some extent.
However, she started from a very high level, and her career prospects are still very promising.
“Yes, I don’t want you to just be a housewife either,” Wang Junkang said honestly.
"Of course, my mother is a housewife. She's great in every way, except for one thing: she likes to urge me to get married. Although I know she means well, I'm an adult now and I have my own plans."
This was the first time the two had met in front of Guan Xin, and for some reason, Wang Junkang suddenly brought up this matter.
However, Guan Xin suddenly asked:
"So you don't want to get married yet, right?"
"Correct!"
"Then why did you go on a blind date with me?"
"Because it was difficult to disobey my father, he persuaded me, so I had no choice but to come for this blind date."
"Oh, could you tell me about your parents? How did your father convince you? And what are your own plans for the future?"
The two got along very well and more and more, and more than three hours passed by in the blink of an eye. They were still having a great time and felt like they had known each other for a long time.
It was at times like these that Wang Junkang admired his father even more.
Because his father was right, Guan Xin was not only good-looking, but her speech, behavior and hobbies seemed to be a better match for him.
Although Qiu Yu'en is also good, Guan Xin is clearly better now.
How to do?
So, should we choose Guan Xin?
That evening, Wang Junkang returned home, intending to talk to his father, but he didn't see him.
"Mom, where's Dad?"
"He received a phone call this afternoon and hasn't come back yet. How did your blind date go?"
Liu Xiaoli asked with concern.
She cares a lot about her son's marriage and hopes that they can get married smoothly before May Day. In this day and age, a whirlwind marriage doesn't seem so unacceptable.
Moreover, Wang Duoyu had talked to her and said that the wedding could not be delayed until after National Day, and that he had to get the third son married smoothly.
On the contrary, Wang Duoyu never mentioned Wang Yifei, giving her enough freedom to do whatever she wanted.
For example, regarding marriage, Wang Yifei didn't want to get married so early, so Wang Duoyu agreed, leaving Liu Xiaoli with no choice.
Meanwhile, Wang Duoyu appeared in a natural karst cave on the outskirts of Beijing.
The entire cave has been completely transformed into a research base.
The research institutions hidden deep in the mountains and forests are naturally conducting research projects with a very high level of secrecy.
Wang Duoyu rushed over immediately because he received orders from his superiors.
Logically speaking, given Wang Duoyu's rank, there's really no way for his superiors to give him orders. However, this scientific research accident concerns the development of the lunar base, so he certainly wouldn't remain indifferent.
"How's it going? Have you tallied up the losses yet?"
In one part of the cave, the place is dilapidated because of a previous explosion that left it in this state.
"Professor Wang, the losses are too severe. All our previous technical data and experimental data have been destroyed, and we have to start all over again from scratch."
The person in charge said with a mournful face, and Wang Duoyu's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
Although he knew that building a lunar base would be very difficult, he did not expect to encounter this or that problem.
How exactly did the explosion occur? Was there a mole within the organization?
Or perhaps something else happened?
The explosion has already resulted in the deaths and injuries of more than ten researchers, and there are still seven or eight seriously injured people in the hospital's ICU. Nobody knows whether they can pull through.
Wang Duoyu is not in charge of national security, so he doesn't know how to handle this matter. But objectively speaking, this cave is definitely not suitable to continue as a research and development base and should be relocated.
This means yet another huge investment.
But that's not the worst part. The real problem is that all the technical data and experimental data have been wiped clean. That's the most critical point.
If these materials cannot be retrieved, it means that all previous investments and efforts will have been wasted, and Wang Duoyu is unwilling to accept such an outcome.
He did not return to Harbin that day, but stayed at his home in Beijing.
For the next two days, he dealt with this matter. News came from Peking Union Medical College Hospital that three more of the eight researchers in the ICU had died.
Of the remaining five people, two have high fevers that cannot be brought down. To bring down their fevers, they must use Angong Niuhuang Wan, a traditional Chinese medicine produced before 1989.
Since 1989, when the country enacted the Wildlife Protection Law, Angong Niuhuang Wan has had to be produced using other substitutes.
Rhinoceros horn, natural bezoar, and natural musk were the main reasons why Angong Niuhuang Wan was considered a miracle drug before 1989.
Angong Niuhuang Wan has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, opening the orifices and refreshing the mind. It is especially effective for treating high fever convulsions, delirium, and clearing heat and toxins from the body.
As is well known, the three most popular Chinese medicines for opening the mind are Angong Niuhuang Wan, Zixue Dan, and Zhibao Dan.
These three medicines have similar main indications, but each has its own emphasis. Angong Niuhuang Wan is the best and most suitable for the symptoms, followed by Zixue Dan, and then Zhibao Dan.
Since the implementation of the Wildlife Protection Law in 1989, the prices of traditional Chinese medicines such as Angong Niuhuang Wan have skyrocketed, and now they are extremely difficult to obtain.
It has a price but no market.
One pill of Angong Niuhuang Wan is worth at least 100,000 yuan, and the key is that it is not easy to buy.
Some people have Angong Niuhuang Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) in their possession, but they are unwilling to take it out because they know that each one used is one less available, even though this stuff is meant to save lives.
For the wealthy, this kind of life-saving medicine cannot be solved by money alone.
Although money can solve 99% of problems, in the eyes of the super-rich, money is just a string of numbers.
Wang Duoyu still had a large quantity of Angong Niuhuang Wan in his possession.
As a reborn being, he naturally knew about wildlife protection laws, and before 1989, he had already consciously collected more animal fur and other items.
Moreover, back in the early 1990s, when Wang Junkang was diagnosed with cancer, he used his vast wealth to acquire Varian Medical Systems, Chinese medicine, and a large number of renowned Chinese medicine doctors.
Back in the 1990s, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was still passable; many people trusted it and knew that its methods were incredibly effective.
At the time, Wang Duoyu's idea was not necessarily to preserve the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, but rather to develop more modern medical methods for treating cancer by combining Chinese and Western medicine.
He is not a proponent of either traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine; rather, he hopes for better modern medical technology.
Because whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, the ultimate goal is to conquer those difficult and complicated diseases, not to have the two compete and see who wins.
Anyway, Wang Duoyu wasn't that bored.
In addition to miraculous medicines like Angong Niuhuang Wan, there are also Da Huo Luo Wan, Niuhuang Qingxin Wan, Zixue San, Yufeng Ningxin Pian, Guogong Jiu, Wuji Baifeng Wan, Zhuanggu Yaojiu, Jufang Zhibao Wan, Huatuo Zaizao Wan, and so on.
Wang Duoyu has preserved all of these traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and sells them in cities such as Hong Kong Island.
As for the specific source of the raw materials for these drugs, that's much simpler.
The Somali Peninsula is already under the control of the Want Want Group, essentially a major base, and its operations are as secure as an ironclad fortress.
This is because the majority of people on the Somali peninsula are Chinese, and most of them immigrated directly from the mainland, in villages or families.
Therefore, it is very difficult for foreign forces to stir up trouble in the Somali peninsula.
Everyone lives peacefully and happily on the Somali Peninsula, and of course they don't want their lives to be disrupted.
However, bribing with a large sum of money is not so easy, since once the money is used, traces will eventually be left behind.
Given the scarcity of sources of income in the Somali peninsula, is it possible for someone who has only been living there for a few years to suddenly have a net worth of tens of thousands of dollars?
Laundering money is not easy, especially in front of the money laundering experts Want Want Group. Wouldn't that be like showing off one's skills before an expert?
"I have some Angong Niuhuang Wan here, you can take it to them."
After hearing about the difficulties mentioned by the person in charge and learning that Xiehe Hospital did not have Angong Niuhuang Wan, Wang Duoyu took the initiative to resolve the matter.
Those researchers' lives are worth far more than Angong Niuhuang Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine).
He didn't want so many people to die.
After resolving this matter, Wang Duoyu went about his own business.
At a military base on the outskirts of Beijing, he convened a meeting with dozens of researchers, planning to send them to the Somali Peninsula to conduct scientific research experiments.
Staying in Beijing would only make you a target; it would be better to go abroad to avoid the limelight.
Although there are other venues in China, the Ali camp is not suitable, nor is the Tarim Basin in Northwest China.
Therefore, the Somali Peninsula is still the best.
It took him three days to finally resolve the issue, but he still couldn't obtain the experimental data because the researchers were still lying in the ICU at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, not yet awake.
Don't rush it!
Wang Junkang made a video call to him.
"Dad, I've made up my mind. I'll date Guan Xin. I've talked to her, and she's much more compatible than Qiu Yu'en."
Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu on the other end of the phone laughed and said:
"That's good. As long as you feel it's good, just let things happen naturally. There's no need to rush. But remember, if you feel it's about time, then take the initiative to tell her and bring it home for us to see."
"It would be even better if we could get married sooner!"
"You'll be finishing university soon, and then you'll be going back to the army. Being apart so often isn't a good thing."
These words made Wang Junkang extremely embarrassed.
Although he succeeded in finding a partner through a blind date, he still felt that what his father had said was a bit too early.
Especially when it comes to having children, he always felt there was no need to do it so early, after all, he and Guan Xin had only met twice, once on their blind date and the other time was yesterday.
Yes, after the blind date was successful, he went on a date with Guan Xin. The two spent the whole day together, and it was the first time they truly got to know each other completely.
The relationship between the two has basically been finalized.
"Dad, can we postpone the wedding? Is it really necessary to get married before May Day?"
"If I don't give you a sense of urgency, will you be sure about who your wife will be?"
Before Wang Junkang could speak, Wang Duoyu continued:
"Now that you've made up your mind, you should have a good talk with Guan Xin and explain the situation. I believe Guan Xin will understand. Besides, she's older than you and must be eager to get married. You have to consider her feelings, right?"
Guan Xin was born in 1983, three years older than Wang Junkang, which means she is 24 years old this year.
"She's already at the prime age for childbearing. In a few more years, that will be considered late marriage and late childbirth. Although we have a one-child policy now, your older brother has already had three children. Are you only going to have one?"
These words made Wang Junkang blush with shame.
He had thought of these things, but Guan Xin had also said that she wasn't in a hurry.
But were Guan Xin's words truly sincere?
If she really doesn't mind marrying and having children later in life, then why would she be going on blind dates at this time?
In today's world, 24 years old is considered late for marriage.
However, Guan Xin had only been on two blind dates before, which shows that her standards are high, but it doesn't mean she's not in a hurry to get married and have children. (End of Chapter)
