Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Chang Zhengyang tiptoed into Zhou Gong's office and saw that he was reviewing documents with his head down, so he found a corner and sat down.

Zhou Gong seemed to notice Chang Zhengyang coming, looked up at him and said, "Why are you sitting so far away?"

Chang Zhengyang smiled and said, "I'm just afraid of disturbing your work!"

Zhou Gong took off his reading glasses and sneered, "You still know how to interrupt my work? Then what was the point of your previous incident?"

Chang Zhengyang was silent for a moment and said, "I don't plan to do the work on stage anymore."

Zhou Gong was startled when he heard this, and realized that Chang Zhengyang was serious, so he softened his tone and said, "Come closer."

Chang Zhengyang stood up and sat opposite Zhou Gong. The other party looked at him for a while and said softly, "What's the reason?"

"After all, I am a member of the Zhang family, a true immortal. I know you value me, but since ancient times, immortals cannot be at the center of power. My limit has come to an end. Instead of this, I might as well retreat behind the scenes and do what I want to do. So I will take this opportunity to resign from the committee."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. Sigh, Immortal..."

Zhou Gong rubbed his brows vigorously, and finally sighed and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Chang Zhengyang took out a report from his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Gong. The other party took it and saw that the title was about suggestions on how to deal with the life forms left over from prehistoric civilizations.

"Okay, if you want to do this, then go ahead and do it."

"Thank you for understanding me. I won't bother you anymore."

Chang Zhengyang got up and left the office. When he closed the door, he seemed to hear a sigh from Zhou Gong.

It was evening when Chang Zhengyang brought his wife and children to Zhao Gang's house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw three boys and girls who surprised him.

"Hello, Uncle Zhengyang!"

"Hello, when did you come to Yanjing?"

"last week!"

At this time, Old Zhao came over and gave him a wink. Chang Zhengyang understood and went downstairs with him and walked around in the family area.

Zhao Gang took out a cigarette and gave it to Chang Zhengyang. After they smoked for a while, he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid something is going to happen to Old Li."

Chang Zhengyang was surprised and asked: "How did you know?"

Old Zhao took a deep puff of his cigarette and continued, "I didn't know at first, but ever since he suddenly sent his three children to my place, I felt something was wrong, so I asked someone to find out about the situation in Fujian Province. Old Li is now at odds with the new political commissar. The political commissar thinks the army should also carry out a campaign, but Old Li thinks that this shouldn't be done, as it will cause a big mess."

Chang Zhengyang asked curiously, "I heard from Tian Yu's wife that Lao Li can never get along with any political commissar, except you, Lao Zhao."

Lao Zhao said helplessly: "Is this the main point of the matter? Based on my understanding of Lao Li, this guy is likely to make a big move!"

"Big noise?"

Chang Zhengyang stroked his chin. He couldn't think of what big trouble Lao Li could cause. He couldn't send troops to attack the opposite side, right?

"Oh, this is what's bothering me. I don't know what big trouble he will cause. Now I call this guy but he won't answer the phone. Do you think I should go to Fujian Province..."

Chang Zhengyang interrupted Lao Zhao and said, "Why go? Let him come to Yanjing by himself."

Old Zhao was stunned when he heard this and said, "He didn't even answer my call. It's obvious that he is avoiding me."

Chang Zhengyang chuckled and said, "That's easy. I heard that you were able to meet my sister-in-law because Old Li faked his own death and tricked you into coming here. So, let my sister-in-law call Tian Yu's sister-in-law and tell her that you, Old Zhao, were beaten by students and are no longer able to survive..."

"Fuck you, can you expect me? Besides, although Lao Li is a rough guy, he is a cunning guy. This trick may not work!"

Old Zhao's eyes lit up, and looking at him, it was obvious that he was moved.

Chang Zhengyang said confidently, "It's simple. Lao Li will definitely ask someone to find out. You should first greet your friends and tell them that you want to avenge the one who shot you in the face. Ask them to cooperate. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. No matter how cunning Lao Li is, he will fall into this trap, unless he doesn't have you as a brother in his heart."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

After Lao Zhao was happy for a while, he suddenly thought of what Chang Zhengyang said in the meeting today, and asked quickly: "Did you get criticized this morning?"

"No, I really don't plan to do the work on the committee side."

Old Zhao was shocked and asked, "What? Are you kidding? Why are you not doing it?"

Chang Zhengyang was silent for a moment and said, "I still like to do research and don't want to sit in the office all day."

"Well, that's the good thing about young people. They just stop doing something when they say they don't want to."

Seeing that Chang Zhengyang didn't want to talk, Old Zhao didn't ask any more questions. The two of them finished smoking and went upstairs.

Just as Chang Zhengyang said, he really hated sitting in the office all day, either attending meetings or reviewing documents.

He really liked doing research, but he didn't tell Lao Zhao more about it because what he was going to do next was a more confidential job.

The life forms left over from prehistoric civilizations are extremely secretive, and only a few people in the core layer know about them.

Chang Zhengyang knew about these existences since he knew that the ancestor of the Zhang family had evolved into a Qilin. One day, he suddenly had a thought: are there other existences of the same level in the world?

Evolution cannot occur in isolated cases. If it succeeds, it will inevitably appear in pairs or even in groups.

So he began to investigate information from all aspects, including that of the Zhang family and the Wang family. Soon he found a clue. There seemed to be some beings in the world similar to the ancestor of the Zhang family, but these beings were much older, so old that they had become myths and legends.

Later, after he reported the matter to the old man, he obtained more information and finally confirmed that there are indeed some incredible life forms in the world.

It’s just that these life forms are basically in a dormant state, and some are even in a state of being neither dead nor alive.

The country did organize several groups of people to investigate these life forms, but they basically ended in failure. These investigators either disappeared or died mysteriously, so the investigation of these life forms came to a halt.

But this does not mean that the country has ignored these life forms, because although these guys are dormant, they still seem to affect all aspects of human society.

This is a potential destabilizing factor for the country. If you don't know about it, it would be fine. But now that you know the problem, you can't ignore it.

Chang Zhengyang wanted to restart the investigation and proposed to set up a special agency. Today, Zhou Gong also agreed. Next, he will start to set up this agency.

As for the work of the Patent Committee, according to Zhou Gong's opinion, he will have to do it part-time for the time being, and then find a suitable person to take over his job.
