Back To The Age Of The '80s

Li Zheng looked at Zhou Sitian amusedly, "Sister, before listening to my answer, you really don't think about taking off your makeup first?"

Zhou Sitian touched her face, looked at Li Zheng suspiciously, and got up to go to the bathroom anyway.

"Ahhh!" A woman's scream of up to 90 decibels came from the bathroom.

Li Zheng rubbed his ears and shook his head helplessly.

When Zhou Sitian came out after removing her makeup, it was already 10 minutes later, she looked at her brother angrily.

"Why didn't you say it earlier! I was all the way just now..." Zhou Sitian stood for a long time at the gate of Mid-level No. [-] during the farewell banquet. face despair.

"Don't worry, those people won't recognize it as yours." Li Zheng gave a dry cough and comforted him earnestly.

Zhou Sitian...

Zhou Sitian poured Li Zheng a glass of water, and the siblings sat by the sofa by the window.

"Some things can only be explained by IQ." Li Zheng pointed to his head, "Mom left a lot of useful books, originally just to see what kind of world she yearned for, and then fell in love with biology It’s a medicine. For some people, you only need to open a small slit for him, and he can open the door to a new world.”

"This is the difference in IQ." Li Zheng's IQ is as high as 180. What can they doubt?There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. Watt improved the steam engine from a pot of boiling water. Why can't Li Zheng walk into the door of the world of biopharmaceuticals because of two books.

As for whether there are any books on biopharmaceuticals in Li's mother's collection, Li Zheng thought about it, and there really are. There are two French novels, the protagonist is a pharmacist, and there is a lot of knowledge about biopharmaceuticals.

"Those books... how do you understand them?" Zhou Sitian was dumbfounded. Her English score was already among the best in school, but she couldn't understand the thick English book next to Zhao Qiuhua's pillow.

"You just didn't try to read it. Many people flinched when they saw the dense English letters. In fact, it's just a sentence composed of those words."

"But your English grades... obviously can't even pass."

Li Zheng...

Thinking of the red score of 57 on the mid-term exam paper, it's really hard to explain.

Zhou Sitian didn't know why she didn't ask further, she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression was inexplicable.Yes, she thought of some past events. In fact, her younger brother's grades were not that bad at the beginning. He won many firsts when he was a child.People in the town said that their sister and brother were indeed crawled out of the stomach of a woman who had stayed abroad, but their brains were different from others.

Zhao Qiuhua was very angry when he heard such words, and slammed the door of the room hard.At that time, she was wondering if her mother didn't want them to do well in the exam.

That is to say, since that time, Li Zheng's grades have gotten worse and worse, and he soon fell into the bottom group.Perhaps...Zhou Sitian gave Li Zheng a complicated look. Perhaps, at that time, his younger brother, like himself, thought that Zhao Qiuhua didn't like them doing well in the exam, but he just thought about it, and Li Zheng actually put it into practice.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Sitian's heart shrank.

"Xiao Zheng..."

Li Zheng was stunned, what exactly did his cheap sister think up.

Zhou Sitian thought of Zhao Qiuhua whom she met at the banquet. She bit her lower lip and said tentatively, "Xiaozheng, if you see your mother again, will you forgive her?"

Li Zheng gave Zhou Sitian a strange look, and replied, "No." Because he...is not qualified.The child who is qualified to say forgiveness has long since disappeared in the late autumn when she left.

Zhou Sitian couldn't tell what it was like, so she nodded vigorously.Xiao Zheng, don't worry, since that's the case, I will never let that woman have a chance to disturb your life!

Voices came from outside the house, Liu Zhidong and Zhang Bingkun came back.

As soon as Liu Zhidong entered the room, he looked around and found that there were only Zhou Sitian and Li Zheng in the room. He couldn't help showing a disappointed look on his face, "Mr. Shao didn't come up?"

Zhou Sitian rolled her eyes, "What's Uncle Shao doing here? Of course he's back home."

Liu Zhidong was taken aback for a moment, and then he noticed Zhou Sitian addressing Shao Qihua, "Uncle Shao?"

Li Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. This sister's so-called manager didn't seem to be that decent.

"Xiao Zheng!" Seeing Li Zheng, Zhang Bingkun flushed a little on his dark face. He stepped forward and patted Li Zheng's shoulder vigorously, "It's fine, it's fine!"

Zhang Bingkun's sense of guilt and the burden in his heart for many days finally disappeared, "Seeing that you are fine, I finally have the face to see Brother Qiang."

Li Zheng bowed slightly to Zhang Bingkun, "Uncle Zhang, please take care of my sister."

Zhang Bingkun waved his hand, "I take care of her? She takes care of me just as well. Sitian is a promising person. You see, she was assigned this apartment, and she also wiped my ass with my mess."

Li Zheng suddenly remembered what Cheng Xianfeng said about someone erasing the traces of Zhou Sitian and Zhang Bingkun's life in Xiangjiang, and couldn't help turning his probing eyes to Liu Zhidong.

Li Zheng stretched out his hand to Liu Zhidong, "Hello, Brother Liu? Let me get to know you formally. I am Zhou Sitian's younger brother Li Zheng. I am currently a student at Xiangjiang University. Thank you for taking care of my sister."

Hong Kong University?Liu Zhidong was taken aback.This is the highest institution in Xiangjiang.

He heard from Zhou Sitian that she had been in Xiangjiang for less than a month.

Entered Hong Kong University in just one month? !Just like in later generations, you came from Vietnam or Burma, and you suddenly entered Tsinghua University and Peking University within a month of arriving in Huaguo. If you say there is no story in it, will anyone believe it?

The way Liu Zhidong looked at Li Zheng changed instantly.

Li Zheng continued: "During this time, I will give you all the expenses that Uncle Zhang and my sister have spent. As for entering the entertainment industry, let's just let it go."

Liu Zhidong's complexion changed drastically, he didn't expect Li Zheng to say such things, how could this work!The potential stock he finally found!

Before he could speak, Zhou Sitian stood up.

"Brother Liu, let me talk to Xiaozheng." Zhou Sitian's expression was a little serious.

Li Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and looked over with puzzled eyes.

"Xiao Zheng, you said that everyone is an independent individual, right?"

Li Zheng nodded blankly, this is what Li Zheng said to Zhou Sitian when she felt inferior to her background, everyone is an independent individual, she is her, Zhou Deqing is Zhou Deqing.

"Then I have the right to decide what I should do and what I should not do. I have often wondered these days, if I can appear on TV like those big stars in Xiangjiang, will those people listen to me. I want more people to hear my voice, instead of just hiding in the room and crying secretly. Xiaozheng, you are excellent, and now you are so outstanding that I am a little ashamed. I took care of you, and I try to keep up with you."

"Sister..." Li Zheng knew that Zhou Sitian was talking about Zhou Deqing's incident, and that incident made Zhou Sitian understand the meaning of "people speak lightly" for the first time.However, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 80s, there were so many scandals. Those magnificent women, which ones were not banned by those big bosses. The power of money and power was brought to the extreme in this era.

With Zhou Sitian's personality, can she really gain a foothold in this complicated entertainment circle?

He does have original medicines worth hundreds of billions in his mind, but he is an academic after all, he can get patent money, but he doesn't know how to operate, Li Zheng is not sure that he can keep Zhou Sitian in this complicated circle.

Just like that Shao Qihua, he knew what the old man was up to at a glance, and he could be their father regardless of his age.

If Shao Qihua really attacked Zhou Sitian, would he be able to keep this cheap sister?When Li Zheng thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but feel cold...he couldn't.

"No! Absolutely not!" Li Zheng resolutely objected.

Zhou Sitian pursed her lips and did not speak.

Li Zheng raised his forehead, he knew the personality of this cheap sister too well, she looked easy to talk, but in fact she had a very stubborn personality, otherwise she wouldn't have made herself so inhuman because of other people's gossip.

Liu Zhidong laughed twice, and said, "Li Zheng, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I, Liu Zhidong, promise that as long as I live, I will never let those dirty and smelly things touch Sitian." Of course, if Sitian If he wants to, then he can't help it.Liu Zhidong thought to himself.

Li Zheng sneered, "Where do you have the confidence to say such a thing?"

Liu Zhidong smiled innocently, "My younger brother is in the Qinglong Gang, so he can be regarded as number one. I can completely stop the forces of the underworld!" But if Mr. Shao is like... Liu Zhidong shook his head, it should be impossible .

"Besides, I created a fake identity for Si Tian, ​​and those high-achieving Hong Kong students whose parents are both in the United States will have some scruples."

High-achieving students returning to Hong Kong?Indeed, in Hong Kong in the 80s, a foreign background was still a very favorable amulet.

"That's right, Brother Liu got me a Columbia University degree!" Zhou Sitian took out the Columbia University diploma from the cabinet and handed it to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng looked at it, and found that it was well made.In the 90s, in this era when there was no Internet and information transmission was difficult, the phenomenon of making fake diplomas was not uncommon. In the news of the 21st century, many senior officials who have been civil servants for 30 to [-] years have been exposed to have provided fake diplomas when they entered the job.

A lot has been exposed, and more has not been exposed.It can be seen that the proliferation of fake diplomas at that time.

A public figure with a fake diploma?Is your head stuffed with straw?If this matter is exposed in 30 or [-] years, even if Zhou Sitian has reached a very high level at that time, it will be an indelible stain.

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "When we talk about it in the future, don't talk about Columbia University, but Columbia University."

Zhou Sitian blinked, "Is there a difference?"

Li Zheng put the fake diploma on the table casually, "Of course there is a difference. Columbia is a city in the United States. There are many universities in the city. If you add the word 'of', you will have room for maneuver in the future. There are many community colleges there. Diplomas can be bought with money.”

He sighed, "Of course, it's best if you can turn the fake into real." Li Zheng asked unwillingly, "Sister, don't you want to continue studying? Columbia, I can send you there. Where are you? One more year of high school, and then you can go to college, the real Columbia University!"

There was a flash of struggle in Zhou Sitian's eyes, and then she said firmly: "No!"

Li Zheng looked at Zhou Sitian helplessly, and he knew that once Zhou Sitian made a decision, ten bulls would not be able to pull her back.

He probably had to think about how to get on good terms with those wealthy families in Xiangjiang, Liang Zhe's paralyzed face could not help appearing in his mind, he rubbed his temples, forget it, let's change someone, Mr. Xiao Liang is too difficult to deal with.

Li Zheng dealt with Zhou Sitian's apartment all night that night.Zhang Bingkun took the initiative to sleep on the sofa, but was stopped by Zhou Sitian. Her reason was: "Uncle Zhang, the sofa is too short, you can't sleep at all, Xiaozheng is just right for him."

Li Zheng...

The next day, Li Zheng went to school on time.Yesterday, he wanted Zhou Sitian to live in his house, but when he was about to say it, he realized that he didn't have a house.

That's right, he has been staying in the hotel since he arrived in Xiangjiang.The hotel provides breakfast, and someone will clean up the room. He thought that when the laboratory was built, he would live in the laboratory directly, so he had no idea of ​​buying a house at all.

When he mentioned buying a house to Zhou Sitian, Zhou Sitian flatly refused.Zhou Sitian said that she needs free space and doesn't want to live with Li Zheng!In fact, Zhou Sitian didn't want Li Zheng to waste money. After these few days, she deeply knew how expensive the housing prices in Xiangjiang were. Even though 1982 was the year when the property market in Xiangjiang collapsed, the housing prices were still astronomical for Zhou Sitian.

In her view, Li Zheng's money should be saved to buy a house and get married in the future.

"Li Zheng."

"Li Zheng."

"Li Zheng."

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, what happened today?Since he entered the classroom door until now, many people have warmly greeted him.

He randomly found a seat and sat down, and a white-faced boy wearing glasses sat down next to him.

"Li Zheng, I heard from Zheng Lingling that you also went to the banquet at No. [-] Mid-Levels yesterday, didn't you? Why didn't you say so earlier, just stood on the stage like this for more than an hour!"

Li Zheng was dumbfounded, "As for the group activities, if you can cooperate, you must cooperate." This was his sincere words, and he didn't feel that the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion Banquet was more important than the school's Christmas Eve at all.One is simply to satisfy curiosity, and the other is the opportunity to integrate into the class. If there is a comparison, the latter may hold more weight in his heart.

The white-faced boy couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the pattern!This is the pattern!He probably understood why his father said every day that he was small!

A short, fat man next to him kept his ears open to listen to the conversation between the two. He also stood up when he heard this, scratched his head embarrassingly and said, "Li Zheng, I'm sorry. It turns out that the big tree should belong to me." , I... you have important things to do in the future, do it quickly, this kind of work of standing for an hour is not suitable for you!"

Li Zheng laughed. He really didn't think it was a big deal to stand for more than an hour. Anyway, his laboratory hadn't been built yet, so he didn't have to race against time.

"Thank you." He had no choice but to say.

He Zhongming looked at Li Zheng very complicatedly. People are such animals. If you are within his sight range, he will try his best to catch up.But if you have already reached a place beyond his reach, his ambition, his competitiveness, and his envy and jealousy will fade away.

People can race with others, but they can't chase cars and planes, that's all.

"Li Zheng, Professor Xu asked you to go to his office." Zheng Lingling trotted into the classroom.

Li Zheng probably knew that Xu Mingsheng was looking for him for the "Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference" a few days later, so he stood up and nodded to Zheng Lingling with a smile.

"thank you."

Zheng Lingling smiled happily, "By the way, Li Zheng, the part-time job you mentioned last time? Do you think that part-time job is really suitable for me?"

"Suitable." Li Zheng waved his hand, walked out of the classroom, and walked towards Xu Mingsheng's office.

In Xu Mingsheng's office, Professor Zhao and Professor Wang were already there, and each of them was accompanied by a slightly older student, probably two graduate students.A man and a woman, both of them look like typical academic masters.

"Li Zheng is here, everyone is here. Let's start." Seeing Li Zheng, Xu Mingsheng stood up and said.

"I called everyone here today to hold this small meeting. It is mainly for the "Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference" to be held in Tokyo two days later. Everyone knows that when it comes to biopharmaceuticals in Asia, it is us and the University of Tokyo. This time the conference is hosted by Tokyo The university hosted it, and invited world-renowned biologists, we Xiangjiang University, we must not lose the chain."

The crowd complied.

Xu Mingsheng distributed a few stacks of papers to everyone present, "At the meeting, we are going to make a report on behalf of Xiangjiang University. Professor Wang and Zhao and I deleted and selected this proposition. Take a look."

Li Zheng took the paper and was startled when he opened the first page.

Frozen blood disease!

Freezing blood syndrome is a unique disease in tropical areas near the equator, and it is more common in infants and young children.Affected infants and young children will have symptoms such as limb atrophy, muscle twitching, blue complexion, and blood clotting.India, Kiribati, Ecuador, Congo, etc., these economically backward countries are major countries with frozen blood disease.

The development of the pharmaceutical industry in these countries is backward, and the poor people cannot afford medicines.And those world-renowned pharmaceutical companies will not develop drugs for this special disease.The investment in developing a drug is huge, but the proportion of people suffering from this disease is too low, and the drug for infants and young children is much more difficult to develop than the drug for adults, and the proportion of the drug is very particular. There is also an ending to be blamed.

The most important thing is that these economically backward countries have no awareness of buying medicine at all.After giving birth to sick infants, their first reaction is to abandon them instead of finding a way to treat them. An African family often has a dozen or twenty children, and one or two less sick children is not a problem for them at all. .Therefore, the market expectations for frozen blood disease are extremely poor.

This drug is not difficult to develop, but no pharmaceutical company is willing to spend time on research and development. Poverty is the original sin of these sick children.
