Chapter 410: Chapter 214: Donkey: Always Picking One to Suck! (10,000-word update!!!)

Although Lin Zhenhua is well into his seventies, considered to be in the final stage of life.

But his physical condition has always been well maintained, and his voice is quite strong.

Plus, there was hardly anyone moving in the hallway at the moment, the space was also very narrow, and sound traveled easily.

Therefore, after those words were spoken.

The slightly noisy conversation inside the room suddenly quieted down.

A few seconds later.

The half-opened door was pushed open from inside.

A small old man in his sixties poked his head out.

This person had some graying hair and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Upon seeing Lin Zhenhua, he immediately brightened up:

"Old Lin?"

Lin Zhenhua finished the remaining few steps of the staircase and nodded at him with a smile:

"Yes, I happened to be passing through Yong City, so I came to see you."

Then he gestured to Xu Yun:

"Let me introduce, this is a younger friend of mine, named Xu Yun, from Lu Prefecture."

"Xiaoxu, this is Academician Zhou Shan."

Xu Yun quickly put down the bags he was holding and respectfully said to Zhou Shan:

"Hello, Academician Zhou, I am Xu Yun."

Back in the day, Zhou Shan’s verdict was a classic example of public opinion conflicting with the law. Those who knew the situation generally felt some sympathy and regret for him, even if they didn’t speak out in his defense.

Outsiders felt that way, not to mention insiders like Xu Yun.

Zhou Shan had discovered and cloned multiple genes influencing important traits in animals, establishing and developing the animal cloning and mammary bioreactor research system in our country.

The expression levels of some reactors even reached the highest international standards.

He himself was the chief scientist of the "973" project’s "Molecular Biology Basic Research on Agricultural Animal Genetic Breeding and Cloning" and became an academician at the age of 42.

Before Lu Ke was elected as the youngest academician, he had always held this record.

For such a top-notch scientist to have lost twelve years was indeed a significant loss for the scientific community.

Returning to the original situation.

During the conversation between them.

Xu Yun also discreetly assessed the situation in the room.

In addition to Zhou Shan,

there also stood a blonde, blue-eyed foreigner, appearing to be about forty, looking quite refined.

Beside the foreigner was a young man who seemed to be an assistant or translator; it was clear they were together.

Based on the prior conversation, the young man was the one who had been persuading Zhou Shan.

Seeing Lin Zhenhua and Xu Yun looking at him, the foreigner calmly nodded at them in greeting.

Then he said to Zhou Shan in somewhat awkward Chinese:

"Mr. Zhou, since you have new guests, we won’t disturb you any longer." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"The terms we discussed earlier remain valid long-term; we hope you’ll consider them carefully. Feel free to call me anytime if you have any thoughts."

Zhou Shan didn’t say much, instead, he extended his right hand, palm open.

He gestured towards the door, being polite yet firm:

"Mr. Diablo, take care, we won’t see you off."

The blonde foreigner sighed slightly and gave a look to the young man.

The two then put on their shoes at the doorway and left Zhou Shan’s house.

However, as they passed by Lin Zhenhua and Xu Yun, the foreigner’s gaze lingered on them for a moment.

Although he had not been in Huaxia for long and was not proficient in Chinese,

his assistant had already quickly and briefly translated Lin Zhenhua’s words during the gap in Zhou Shan’s conversation with Lin Zhenhua.

Clearly,

this older and younger duo also seemed to be here to recruit someone.

But which side did they represent?

Germany?

Neon?

Or....

across the sea?

As for local Huaxia units and institutions, they were subconsciously ignored by the foreigner.

After the foreigner left,

Zhou Shan took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe rack and placed them in front of Lin Zhenhua and Xu Yun:

"Old Lin, Xiaoxu, come in and talk."

Lin Zhenhua took the slippers and put them on while Xu Yun closed the door.

After entering the room,

Lin Zhenhua didn’t rush to state his purpose, first taking a plastic bag that was still rustling from Xu Yun.

He walked over to Zhou Shan and handed it to him casually:

"Old Zhou, you’re in for a treat today."

"I had good luck today and caught an over-two-pound grass carp; how about that, are you envious?"

"Look at this fish, it’s eating well, but I was too strong while reeling it in and tore its upper lip."

Zhou Shan chuckled at his words, took the plastic bag, and looked at it.

Just as Lin Zhenhua was about to brag again,

Zhou Shan silently pulled out his phone, opened an interface, and handed it to Lin Zhenhua:

"Look at this."

Lin Zhenhua looked and found a WeChat chat window on the screen.

The contact was noted as ’Xiaozhao from the downstairs market’.

The conversation went:

["Teacher Zhou, today there’s an over two-pound grass carp, eating so properly that it actually tore the fish’s upper lip, would you like it?"]

Attached was a picture, which looked exactly like the fish in Lin Zhenhua’s bag.

Lin Zhenhua’s mouth twitched immediately:

"...."

Previously, he was worried that the fish brought from the Hanhua Factory might not be fresh enough, so upon arriving at the community, he found a stand and "caught" a fish.

Who would have thought....

Old Zhou is actually a regular customer there?

I was careless...

While the two were speaking,

a woman in her fifties or sixties, slightly haggard but with an intellectual air, suddenly walked out of the kitchen.

This person was wearing an apron around her waist, and upon seeing Lin Zhenhua, she immediately brightened up:
