Winter of Plum Blossom

City H is in the east. Apart from the beauty of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it has gradually become an important new commercial center in Huaguo over the years.

In Mei Zhe's impression, his father seemed to have brought him here, maybe he had passed by. The most beautiful thing in City H is water, not only the big lake in the south of the city, but the whole city is covered with intricate water systems, scattered ponds and lakes everywhere, like bronze mirrors dotted with scattered pearls.

Mei Zhe got his wish to see the rain.

In a week of continuous rain, he finally realized that the lilac-like girl was not the author recalling his first love with longing, but was describing himself wandering in the dark reality without joy and sunshine. Trying in vain to hold on to hopes that drift away like dreams.

This hindsight made Mei Zhe very depressed.

It was as if he was back in his own nightmare, desperately trying to hold on to the person who spoke, but he couldn't even see who it was.

But Nightmare didn't come to visit again, so he didn't leave City H too far, and followed a few young people to a famous water town nearby to live for a few days.

The best accommodation in Water Town is in the scenic area.

Including Mei Zhe, the four beta young men went to live in a youth hostel in the scenic spot together. A four-person room of [-] yuan per person can stay for a week with everyone's budget, so it is completely possible to stay with those who bring their families. Tourists make different choices, such as sleeping until they wake up naturally, such as closing the view out of the window and playing poker all afternoon, such as reclining by the water and playing dumb all day long.

There are many waters and bridges in the water town. Mei Zhe leans on the rocks on the bank and looks at the awning boats in the water town passing by the river. He is often confused by the reflection of the rippling sky.

He sometimes even thinks, maybe this is not a piece of intertwined water system on land, but countless floating islands in a huge ocean. Hundreds of bridges sew the floating islands into one piece. When the wind blows, the floating islands under him It will sway with the rising and falling tides of the ocean.

It was so rippling that he forgot the time, the nightmare, where he was, what night and what night.

What did the poem say?

You lean on the river and watch the scenery,

The viewer watches you from the boat,

The breeze ruffles your broken hair,

You see your lover's eyes.

……Depend on!

Caught off guard, Mei Zhe saw a pair of long and narrow eyes in the black-covered boat that passed by.

...Why is there such a person everywhere! !

Mei Zhe screamed in his heart.

And the mobile phone that was stuffed in his trouser pocket screamed not to be outdone, Chen Yue called before the boat passed by completely, and after making an appointment with him for half an hour, he went to the largest hotel in the scenic spot, Zhenbo Bookshe Meet in the lobby.

Chen Yue didn't make him wait too long, and he actually changed his clothes when he came out. The one he saw on the boat just now was still a polo shirt and jeans, but now he looks like a dog again.

And he smirked and stretched out his hand to hold it.

"Dr. Mei, long time no see, please stay safe."

Mei Zhe also shook hands with him hypocritically, and tried his best to play the role of the intellectual doctor with a T-shirt and cropped pants.

"Mr. Chen, we just discussed your company's private affairs five days ago."

Chen Yue laughed loudly and waved his hands, "Mei Zhe, you don't forgive others when you do private work. You really do a good job at your job. That's what you say, men who work hard are the prettiest. You The way we were working hard by the bridge just now fascinated us all."

For no reason, some string somewhere was plucked, but Mei Zhe still insisted on his mouth.

"Of course. I am absolutely dedicated to my work when I am working, and I will never fish for personal affairs."

Chen Yue spread his hands narrowly, "But who let you be caught by me? I know you as an expert in life sciences and a scholar who knows the frontier development of pheromones best. I can only turn to you for my personal affairs."

Every trip can be caught, Mei Zhe feels that he is eaten to death, but still wants to struggle again.

"Sorry, I really enjoy the feeling here. What I have to do in my job takes time and energy, and there are many people who want to see it. I haven't finished eating the Jiangnan snacks I want to eat. I'm too busy with work. I really can't smoke. Go back to the capital to help you out of time."

Chen Yue looked at him slyly, "You don't want to leave Water Town? You don't want to go back to the capital to help me?"

Mei Zhe nodded very firmly, growling contemptuously in his heart.

...I'm here to enjoy, not to work for you.You can't afford the wages of my part-time job!

"Okay! Never leave Water Town. Free board and lodging, lots of snacks, cocktail party, you can see a lot of people, enjoy a lot of top-notch performances, my private affairs will only occupy you for two hours, at most one afternoon, in Water Town. Do me a favor, huh?"

Mei Zhe didn't know why she agreed to him.

I guess it was God's will. He ran from the capital to City H, and then came to Water Town. Behind the Water Town, there is an extremely modern five-star hotel. The pheromone industry summit was held in this Water Town just a few days ago.

No wonder those young people couldn't book a big hotel. They thought about it very much, and happily booked a youth hostel for a week with the same budget.

Chen Yue's affairs are actually not complicated.

Mei Zhe finished reading the materials he had prepared in half an hour, and then sat in the cafe by the water and chatted with Chen Yue.

It's still about the pheromone detection.It seems that it is not Huaguang, but Chen Yue who wants to do this. About a few years ago, he began to create a large database of genes and pheromones in the industry.

Alpha's pheromones are generally not a big secret, not only during courtship, Alpha's disputes with each other sometimes use pheromones to suppress.

But Omega pheromones are the most private information.

Due to the small proportion of Omega in the population, and, to put it bluntly, due to Alpha's strong possessive desire for Omega, the entire human society has always respected the confidentiality of Omega's privacy.Some Omegas even choose to never show their pheromones in front of others, only to their lovers, and once they are fully marked, only their Alpha can smell or perceive their Omega pheromones.

This approach is good and bad.

Well, in that free will and privacy are fully respected.

The bad thing is that once encountering pheromone-related injuries or accidents, many Omega cannot receive pheromone-based treatment, and there is a high probability that it will cause huge damage to the glands, and even have to remove the Omega glands to become Beta .

Mei Zhe took this set of materials and pondered for a long time.

To be honest, he didn't like the suggestion at all.

If he was an Omega, privacy would be more important than anything else.

What's more, there is no need to compel the establishment of a pheromone database at all.Omega, which values ​​medical significance, can always choose to store its own related pheromone samples in advance.The meaning of coercion is to let Omegas who do not want to share pheromone information share.

There are too many possibilities for black-box operations here.

Mei Zhe raised his head and looked at Chen Yue seriously.

"If that's what you're proposing, then I have to say I'm disappointed. I don't believe there's any other reason behind it."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yue said, "Would you believe me if I said that it was for Huaguo to seize the world's leading position in the field of pheromones like the Human Genome Project back then?"

Meizhe supported his knees with his elbows, his fingers were facing each other, and he put his chin on the tip of his index finger. This was his most used thinking posture.

After a long time, he shook his head, picked up the materials on the table and threw them back to Chen Yue, "I don't believe it."

"The American Academy of Life Sciences and the British Royal Academy of Sciences have done a lot of work, and the two domestic academies also have special projects. In addition, there are many non-governmental organizations and universities that are also taking the lead in this field. You gave me the last time The article on The Lancet I read is the result of several universities in the UK. If you want to talk about opportunities, you have no opportunities. What's more, in terms of opportunities, I don't believe you in this industry chain What effect can the proposal have?"

There was a sneering smile on Mei Zhe's lips, "The industry summit is a conference of capital and commerce, not a conference of scientists. Capitalists are hyenas chasing bones. They can knock bones and suck marrow for the meat on the bones. I would like to know what you use to make these People agree with your proposal, which has the feelings of sociologists and scientists."

He stood up and dropped the next sentence.

"Your gaffe last time was because of this, right? I admit that I was curious, so I will go to your session, but I will only give my professional opinion, and I won't guarantee to be on your side. Are you OK?"

Chen Yue didn't hesitate, "I'm OK. You just need to go. Last time you said that I was too cute to hike, I'll turn it over for you."

Mei Zhe staggered and almost tripped over himself.

... want you to turn the page? ? ! !

... I haven't turned over the matter that you said that I can't do it! !

... Who will translate the chapter for whom? ! !

He strode out of the cafe without looking back, raised his hand casually and waved, "The time and place will be sent to my mobile phone."

At the summit in the afternoon of the second day, there were quite a few people from Chen Yue's session.

He is quite self-aware, and the technical introduction of the opening speech is very simple, focusing on the imaginative commercial value space between the gene bank and the pheromone database.

The few guests invited in the subsequent Panel sessions naturally included Mei Zhe, who gave very vague titles, but the only few scholars at this conference all had similar vague titles. After all, the scientific community in this field is currently This is when the patent and standards battle is raging.

It was beyond Mei Zhe's expectation, probably because Chen Yue carefully selected the guests. After discussion among several distinguished guests in the industry, except for one or two, they all expressed their optimism for this proposal, and even a few One said that his own group would also like to participate in due course.

Mei Zhe also expressed Zhongzheng's views on the issues mentioned by Chen Yue, as he himself stated, not only mentioned high reliability, but also mentioned the issue of data coverage.

His intuition told him that a conservative answer that clearly explained the flaws might be more beneficial to Chen Yue.

Most of the good things that are [-]% sure in this world are scams.

After the panel, everyone began to accept questions from the audience.

I don't know if Chen Yue had made arrangements in advance, but the first few questions were not only easy to answer, but also confirmed the value of this proposal.

Until someone stood up and asked a question.

"Mr. Chen has the support of Yang'an Group behind him. We don't doubt that this matter can be done. But after the establishment of the database, I don't know if Mr. Chen and you have considered it? Is there any risk that the contents of this database will be destroyed by someone else?" Some people with ulterior motives for other purposes? For example, extreme pheromone believers, for example, tracking specific pheromone owners?"

Mei Zhe was taken aback suddenly.

Chen Yue mentioned special pheromones, and in the field of pheromones, just like the ethnographic theory back then, there are also some extreme pheromone believers, and the owners of special pheromones are the objects of their fanatical beliefs.They believe that special pheromone owners are the best race.Some fanatics are willing to follow and even dedicate everything to the special pheromone holders, while the other very few so-called fanatics firmly believe that forming a complete mark with the special pheromone owner will bring a magical sexual experience, and Pull your pheromone levels up to that divine level.

Extreme pheromone fanatics are the people that almost all pheromone scholars hate the most.

Mei Zhe frowned and looked at Chen Yue who was sitting in the middle. Is Chen Yue this kind of person?

But almost all of his eccentric behavior can be explained by this conclusion.

Mei Zhe didn't know why, but he just didn't want to believe it.
