Break out of the courtyard

"Hey! Husband..."

"Come back early and rest!"

"Oh!"

When Chen Shuting received a call from her husband Zhang Heping, she was actually a little nervous. After all, she had not discussed the media counterattack with Zhang Heping in advance.

Fortunately, Zhang Heping just said one sentence and hung up the phone without any intention of blaming anyone.

Chen Shuting stood there and thought for a while, guessing that someone from the mainland had called her husband, or that her second sister Zhang Pandi had gone to their house.

Since Zhang Heping didn't stop just now, Chen Shuting no longer had any worries. After asking her secretary to continue following up with other media, she returned to the mountain with her bodyguards.

When Chen Shuting returned home and saw her second sister Zhang Pandi sitting on the sofa in the living room, she knew what was going on.

"Shu Ting!"

Zhang Pandi stood up and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Chen Shuting with a smile.

"Second sister, I'm going back to the bedroom to change clothes first."

When Zhang Pandi saw her sister-in-law walking towards the stairs in high heels instead of the elevator, she knew that she was going to the study on the second floor to talk to Zhang Heping first.

Her brother Zhang Heping’s meaning was very simple: let’s talk about it tomorrow.

In other words, if the mainland does not come up with a solution to this matter tonight, this matter is likely to escalate because Zhang Heping is still in trouble!
Chen Shuting tiptoed to the study on the second floor, wearing her high heels. Seeing Zhang Heping still writing and drawing at his desk with no unusual expression on his face, she felt relieved.

In the study, only the fourth girl Zhang Feng was reading a book by the bookshelf. Chen Shuting waved at her, called her out, and then went to the stairwell together.

"Were you there when your second aunt came over?" Chen Shuting pulled Zhang Feng's arm and asked softly, "What did your father tell her?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Zhang Feng saw that her stepmother didn't understand, so she couldn't help but explain: "These are my father's exact words. He only said this to Second Aunt and then continued with his business."

Hearing this, Chen Shuting was completely relieved and asked with a smile, "Where are your mother and the others?"

"They're playing mahjong next door!" Zhang Feng said casually, "Big brother is practicing with Xiaowu and Xiaoliu at the shooting range. Second and third sisters haven't come back yet, and Xiaoqi is upstairs putting Xiaoba to sleep."

"Okay! You continue reading, I'll go back to the bedroom to change clothes." Chen Shuting said, and hurried upstairs.

With Zhang Heping's words "Let's talk about it tomorrow" as a reassurance, Chen Shuting was no longer in a hurry.

By the time she changed into a set of casual home clothes, took a bottle of skin care cream, and applied it on her neck while going downstairs, Zhang Pandi had just received a call from the special mission team stationed in Hong Kong.

"The results are in!" Zhang Pandi put down the phone and said with a hint of resignation, "The reporter and editor-in-chief of the relevant newspaper have been fired, and the person in charge has been dismissed. Tomorrow morning's newspaper will publish an apology letter on the front page, along with an explanation of the situation and a notice of punishment."

"Shu Ting, can the media here just stop talking about this?"

Chen Shuting rubbed her hands together, then took out her cell phone and dialed a number.

"Xiao Dong, the mainland has agreed to apologize and punish those responsible. Please ask Xinhua News Agency if they have received the news. Ask them for a press release so that our media outlets can reprint it."

"Well, the previous manuscript will be temporarily cancelled, and the manuscript fee will be settled normally!"

After hearing Chen Shuting's instructions, Zhang Pandi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Chen Shuting would make things worse.

"Shu Ting, next time you encounter something similar, you can call me first. I will use the channels of the Hong Kong Special Mission to provide feedback, so that it can be handled more gently."

"Second sister, you've been working for so many years, you can't fail to see that someone is behind this!" Chen Shuting put down her phone, scooped a dollop of skin care cream into her palm, and then handed the jar over, "Try some too!"

After Zhang Pandi took the jar of skin cream, Chen Shuting continued to apply it on her arm, "We kept quiet about the Power Grid Shares incident and didn't let the media attack us. How did we handle it?"

"Some people think our family is afraid of the Japanese and the Taiwanese, so we have to hide in Shenzhen!"

"Well, let's go back to Hong Kong Island, make friends with Europe and other countries, and expand our business overseas."

"Humph! I want to see who's afraid of whom!"

Chen Shuting's tone was full of indignation. Zhang Pandi was also very dissatisfied with the matter of Power Grid Shares, but she was of low status and had no influence, so she could not help in this matter, so she changed the subject.

The two chatted in the living room for a while until Zhang Yong finished his overtime and called to ask about her. Only then did Zhang Pandi get up and say goodbye.

After Chen Shuting sent her second sister away, she took out her cell phone and contacted her secretary Xiao Dong. After confirming that they had received the press release from the mainland, she went to the study on the second floor and told Zhang Heping about this.

Zhang Heping didn't care much about this matter. He just nodded twice and ended the topic.

Chen Shuting stayed by his side and helped to tidy up the scattered papers on the desk.

She couldn't understand what was on the paper, but she knew her husband was developing a brain-computer interface that could play virtual games.

What Chen Shuting didn't know was that the reason why Zhang Heping had been so focused on hanging up recently was because the knowledge fed back to his brain by the "Ruomu Brain-Computer Principle" skill mentioned the conversion of brain waves into mental power and the adaptation to the mental force field.

Zhang Heping wanted to see if, once he had mastered the principles of the Ruomu brain-computer, brainwave converter maintenance, Ruomu brain-computer maintenance, and dream construction skills to the highest level, he could apply what he had learned to other areas and imitate a brain-computer.

The next morning, after Chen Shuting went to the company, Director Wang and Liu Yuan came over to greet Zhang Heping, as if they were unaware of the news farce of the past two days and did not mention anything about that matter.

Finally, under the pretext of brain-like computer research, the two of them invited Zhang Long and Zhang Hu back to the underground base of Shenzhen Peace College.

Director Wang’s idea was simple: to invite the Zhang family back one by one and restore their previous harmonious relationship.

It’s a pity that Zhang Bei, the eldest son, did not agree to go back, forcing Director Wang and others to think of other solutions.

Before leaving, Director Wang leaned close to Zhang Heping and whispered about the possibility that Elder Hua might return to work in the capital.

In response to this, Zhang Heping just said "hmm" as usual and did not express any opinion.

At this time, he was like an ascetic monk, concentrating on practicing and ignoring everything else.

The main thing is that if you take care of it, he won’t have time to hang up!

On this day, with the release of the apology letter and penalty notice from the mainland media, the product technology accumulated by Heping Group in drugs and medical devices was completely exposed to the vision of foreign pharmaceutical companies.

As cooperation invitations from foreign pharmaceutical companies were sent to Heping Group, Chen Shuting, who was overwhelmed by the ex-factory prices, domestic sales prices, and overseas export prices of drugs and medical devices, felt that her head was getting bigger and bigger.

Agreeing to foreign pharmaceutical companies will affect cooperation with mainland pharmaceutical companies, thereby disrupting the balance of mainland medical expenditure.

However, if they didn't agree, these foreign pharmaceutical companies, while raising anti-monopoly slogans, simultaneously contacted mainland pharmaceutical companies, starting to discuss joint ventures and trying to secure preferential policies for these mainland joint ventures. Interestingly, the mainland pharmaceutical companies were quite willing to engage in joint ventures.

First, it can break through the export priority restrictions on drugs and medical devices held by the Peace Group. Second, the old department did not allow them to form a joint venture with the Peace Group, but did not prevent them from cooperating with other foreign pharmaceutical companies.

This matter lasted for more than ten days, and Chen Shuting finally told Zhang Heping about the problem.

Zhang Heping's answer was simple. After their joint venture factory was built, he would ask them to pay the technology licensing fee. If they refused, he would file a patent lawsuit.

If they can't even win the lawsuit, then they should disclose the relevant drug and medical device technologies and let more pharmaceutical companies compete with them.

As for whether medical expenses in the mainland will increase as a result, it depends on whether the mainland will intervene in this matter.

Zhang Heping had not been in charge of the experiments in the Shouyuan Space Capsule recently. When he learned that Professor Lu had destroyed the experimental equipment and samples in Shouyuan Space Capsule No. 1 and No. 2 because of his grandson's death, it was 35 hours after the incident and even foreign media received the relevant news.

On the top floor of the Peace Healthcare Research Institute, there is the Shouyuan Space Capsule Remote Control Division.

Zhang Heping stayed at home for more than a month, but was eventually forced out by trivial matters outside.

When he saw the smashed interior facilities of the No. 1 and No. 2 Shouyuan space capsules, his brows furrowed.

When he saw Old Man Lu in the No. 3 Lifetime Space Capsule, whose body was covered with festering sores but still hanging on to his last breath, his eyes turned cold.

Without needing anyone else to explain, Zhang Heping directly retrieved the surveillance footage before and after the incident.

Old Man Lu's grandson died four days ago. He hadn't video-called his grandson for two days, so he grabbed two spherical robots and threatened the ground to tell the truth, otherwise they would smash the surrounding equipment.

The result is predictable. When the ground told him that his grandson was dead, the old man not only went crazy and smashed the internal facilities of the No. 1 and No. 2 Lifespan Space Capsules, but also drank all the experimental samples of the Lifespan 200 potion in Capsule No. 1!

Finally, because the oxygen production equipment and air circulation equipment in the No. 1 and No. 2 life capsules malfunctioned, the ground center personnel took advantage of the lack of oxygen and loss of resistance in Old Man Lu and gave him an injection of sedative, and then dragged him into the No. 3 life capsule, allowing him to survive until now.

"Module No. 4 is ready to detach!" Zhang Heping's voice sounded coldly and quickly reached the Shouyuan Space Capsule Project Monitoring Center of Dapeng Peninsula Peace Aerospace Company.

"Teacher Zhang, what are you going to do?" Lu Zhongsheng's voice rang out in the project monitoring center.

"Send space capsules 1, 2, and 3 to the sun and destroy them!" Zhang Heping decided the life and death of Old Man Lu without any emotion.

"Teacher Zhang! Teacher Zhang!" An old professor on the top floor of the biological genetics laboratory building at Shenzhen Peace College said anxiously, "Professor Lu drank all the experimental samples. Should we observe him for a few more days?"

"It's the same as observing on the road!" Zhang Heping said coldly, "I warned you beforehand how dangerous these experimental samples are."

"If something goes wrong in a bacteria experiment that can withstand a hundred times more radiation, even opening the chamber for disinfection won't help!"

"You're so good! Not only have cabins 1 and 2 been contaminated, but you've also opened cabin 3 to the contamination!"

"Module No. 4 has been detached!" A confirmation came from the Shouyuan Space Capsule Project Monitoring Center.

Lu Zhongsheng said at the project monitoring center: "Teacher Zhang, do you want to report this matter first?"

"You report!" After Zhang Heping said this, he stood up and turned off the equipment. He asked the bodyguard to turn off the power and went straight home.

Without the experimental samples in the No. 1 Lifetime Space Capsule, Zhang Heping was even less interested in this project and let them tinker with it however they wanted.

Even if they bring Old Man Lu back to Earth, they will still be left to seek death!
There was another important reason why Zhang Heping simply ignored it. The incident happened 35 hours before he was notified. He didn't believe that no one intervened!

You know, Peace Aerospace is not a monolithic entity!
After the matter was reported to the capital, Hua Lao quickly called Zhang Heping's home.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Hua got straight to the point, "Peace, I've heard about the Shouyuan space capsule."

"Manager Lu said that you believe the contamination source inside the cabin cannot be completely eliminated by the vacuum and space radiation, so you want to send the No. 1, 2, and 3 Shouyuan space capsules to the sun for destruction."

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping answered casually while holding the microphone, his eyes fixed on the information, and he was obviously hanging up again.

"Okay, I understand!" Old Hua didn't ask any more questions and invited Zhang Heping to return to the capital in a hurry, but he only received a "hmm" in response.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Hua contacted Director Wang to inquire about Zhang Heping's recent situation.

After learning that Zhang Heping was still staying at home and that he was researching something, Hua Lao felt somewhat relieved about Zhang Heping's emotionless response earlier.

"Mr. Hua, how's it going on your end?" Director Wang asked tactfully, worried that his phone might be tapped.

"Not going very smoothly!" Old Hua's answer was also vague; those who didn't know the situation certainly wouldn't understand what they were saying.

"By the way, have Lao Xiao and Lao Qin arrived at your place yet?" Old Hua's tone became more serious. "Please make sure Heping helps them get a medical check-up."

"Xiao Chen told me that I will accompany them to look for Heping after their passes are processed." After Director Wang agreed to this, both parties hung up the call.

Director Wang and his team were quite quick in processing the passes. After all, they had sent quite a few people to the Hong Kong Peace College for exchange and study over the years.

So, at dawn the next day, she took her people on a boat to Hong Kong Island.

After arranging for Hua Lao's comrades-in-arms Lao Xiao and Lao Qin to work in the cosmetic surgery department of the Peace Hospital on Hong Kong Island, and for their families to stay at the Peace Hotel, Director Wang then took Liu Yuan to Victoria Peak to find Zhang Heping.

When the two entered the Renheyi community, they happened to see Tang Xin pulling Zhang Heping out to bask in the sun.

Ever since Zhang Heping started focusing on AFK day and night, he spent most of his time in the study.

The weather was good today and not as humid as before, so Tang Xin asked her children to put Zhang Heping's documents, paper, pen, and laptop outside the villa so that he could breathe some fresh air.

Director Wang, who happened to come over, did not encounter Zhang Heping hanging up the phone, so he spoke a few more words to Zhang Heping.

"These are the Xiao and Qin family records, which will be of great help to Elder Hua's return to work in the capital." As Director Wang said this, he pointed to several names and positions on the documents that Zhang Heping was holding.

After Zhang Heping finished reading the information, he tore off the two pages by hand and said to Director Wang, "These two people are suitable. Have them go to the cosmetology department for a physical examination. Once the next batch of Shouyuan 120 potion comes out, have them try it."

Director Wang smiled when he saw Zhang Heping's quick agreement. "The blood from the drug testers last August has been collected. I think we'll be able to finish the testing this afternoon and send it to you."

Zhang Heping responded and walked towards the plastic tables and chairs under the parasol. "Auntie Wang, Liu Yuan, please feel free to do whatever you want. I need to take care of my own business!"

As Zhang Heping sat down, a bodyguard captain hurried forward, took the phone Zhang Heping took out, and then stood by, ready to help the boss answer the phone at any time.

When the people around saw Zhang Heping staring at a document and starting to write and draw, they all became cautious.

Even the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods and buildings were notified not to make noise that might disturb Boss Zhang's research... (End of Chapter)
