A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 290 Who is in favor and who is against

"It's no different from a regular airplane, but it's not even as comfortable."

Chen Hui chuckled and replied, "I don't know anything else."

The Black Bird flies at Mach 6. Without protective clothing, an ordinary person would be in danger of death, so it is certainly not comfortable.

"I understand about keeping it a secret, I understand."

Zhao Dayong winked at Chen Hui.

"Haha, that's right."

Chen Hui did not deny it, "How has Uncle Dayong been lately?"

"I'm fine, I can eat and sleep well."

Zhao Dayong waved his hand, "Go find your uncle, I won't bother you anymore."

"I've heard online that geniuses like you have very precious time."

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Dayong, I'll be going now."

Before Chen Hui could even leave the guardhouse, a large group of people walked out of the school, and Zhao Defeng, along with a group of school leaders, greeted them at the entrance.

"Xiaohui is back!"

Zhao Defeng said excitedly, while many photographers around him had already started taking pictures and recording videos.

Zhao Defeng wouldn't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime publicity opportunity. He has now been promoted to principal, while Wu Huachun has stepped down to the second line and is preparing to retire.

Chen Hui understood Zhao Defeng's thoughts, and did not refuse. He shook hands with Zhao Defeng in a generous manner and allowed the photos to be taken.

"Teacher An, it's been a long time."

After greeting Zhao Defeng, Chen Hui looked at An Chengzhang in the crowd and took the initiative to greet him.

"What do you want to see me for? You should focus on your research, that's more important than anything else!"

An Chengzhang said he didn't care, but his face was already beaming with joy.

"Let's go to my house for a simple meal later. My aunt is a pretty good cook."

Chen Hui extended an invitation.

Returning to his alma mater after many days, Chen Hui felt an extraordinary sense of warmth. The care and concern shown to him by Teacher An and Principal Zhao back then came to mind, and even now, it remains a warm force supporting him forward.

"Well, I can't possibly accept that..."

An Chengzhang stammered, wanting to go but also somewhat reserved.

Zhao Defeng, who was standing to the side, had been listening with gritted teeth and his eyes were red with jealousy.

"Let's all go to my office and talk. Don't stand here."

Zhao Defeng waved and led everyone toward the administration building. Even though it was still class time, quite a few people were already looking in their direction with curiosity.

Chen Hui was also somewhat helpless. He had only come to pick up his uncle from get off work, but he did not expect the principal to come out in person to greet him and make such a big fuss.

Class 7, Grade 12

"Pay attention to the 'but' transition logic in this cloze test!" Liu Xiaohua circled "however" in the question stem with red chalk. "When this kind of signal word appears, the preceding content will contradict the option 70% of the time."

As a former English teacher of Class 7, she has taught outstanding students such as Chen Hui and Liang Peixuan. Now she is the head of the English teaching group and a renowned teacher at Rongcheng No. 2 Middle School.

So after sending off the graduating class of 7 in the senior year, she not only taught English to the 7 in the first year of high school, but also taught English to the 7 in the senior year.

Today, Class 7 is a prestigious class at Rongcheng No. 2 Middle School. Everyone is proud to be able to enter Class 7, and only the top 60 students can enter Class 7.

"Holy crap, Chen Shen is back!"

Suddenly, a student who had gone to the restroom rushed into the classroom and shouted.

"Zheng Weichao, it's class time now!"

Liu Xiaohua's eyebrows shot up, and she snapped at him before realizing what she had just said.

"Chen Shen is back. I saw him when I went to the restroom. Principal Zhao led a bunch of people to pick him up."

"you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. How could I not know Chen Shen? I'm a die-hard fan of Chen Shen. I fall asleep looking at his photos every night."

No one paid attention to Zheng Weichao's disgusting remarks. The classroom was already in an uproar. If it weren't for Liu Xiaohua's suppression, everyone would have rushed out of the classroom long ago.

However, the next moment, Liu Xiaohua walked out of the classroom by herself.

"Hmm, the weather is nice today, let's go to the playground for an outdoor lesson."

As she reached the door, Liu Xiaohua remembered her identity and, on a sudden inspiration, turned back to the students and said, "Everyone, please maintain order."

"Long live Teacher Liu!"

The students shouted and rushed out of the classroom.

"Shh!"

"Keep quiet."

Liu Xiaohua quickly greeted them.

However, the commotion was heard by several classes next door, causing the students to become distracted. Then, they saw the students from Class 7 leaving through the corridor, and their minds were even more elsewhere than when they were studying.

After chatting with Zhao Defeng in his office for a while, Chen Hui said goodbye to the school leaders after his uncle finished get off work.

He was stunned by the scene before him as soon as he stepped out of the administration building.

Downstairs, there was a huge crowd of thousands of students packed into the square. The commotion from Class 7 of the third year of high school eventually alerted other students, and more and more students came downstairs, until it became what it is now.

However, they remained absolutely silent, so Chen Hui didn't notice them until he went downstairs.

"Chen Shen!"

Chen Hui's appearance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing the crowd to erupt in excitement.

"Can I get an autograph, Mr. Chen?"

The students in the front row gathered around with pens and draft paper.

Chen Hui felt dizzy. With several thousand people, it would probably take a whole day to sign all the signatures.

However, he quickly had a flash of inspiration and wrote on the draft paper, "Wishing all the juniors and seniors of Rongcheng No. 2 Middle School success in their studies and a smooth college entrance examination!"

Then hand it over to Zhao Defeng.

"Everyone, please disperse for now. I'll type out this message and hang it at the school gate tomorrow."

Zhao Defeng instantly understood his meaning, and held the draft paper as if it were a treasure, and said with a smile.

"Thank you everyone. You've all worked so hard studying, go and have some food and rest."

Chen Hui also spoke loudly to his younger schoolmates.

"Go Chen Shen!"

"How is the progress of Chen Shen's Riemann Hypothesis?"

What is the next Millennium Challenge posed by Chen Shen?

"Chen Shen, high school math is so hard!"

The students automatically made way for them, but they didn't leave, still making a racket.

"Teacher Liu."

Suddenly, Chen Hui spotted his English teacher, Liu Xiaohua, in the crowd and nodded to her in greeting.

The students around Liu Xiaohua immediately erupted in excitement.

"I'd heard that Teacher Liu was Teacher Chen Shen for a long time, but I never imagined it was true!"

"Of course it's true, how could it be fake?" "Teacher Liu is amazing!"

"Chen Shen is Teacher Liu's student, and I am also Teacher Liu's student. So, rounding up, Chen Shen is practically my senior brother!"

"We're all students of Teacher Liu, so why is there such a big difference between us?"

Amidst the commotion, Chen Hui finally emerged from the crowd and, together with his uncle Li Tianhua, aunt Fan Rong, and Teacher An who was there for a free meal, boarded a van waiting at the school gate and joined the congested traffic.

"Xiao Hui is back?"

At the entrance of Qingfeng Times City, Grandma Wu was enjoying the cool shade in the community's greenery when she saw Chen Hui and greeted him with a smile.

Information travels quickly these days, and they've all heard about Chen Hui being detained by America, and they're all very worried.

"Grandma Wu is still in such good health!"

Chen Hui greeted them with a smile, saying that Grandma Wu had taken care of them when they were little, "Come over for dinner later."

"No, no, I have to go back and cook for my husband later."

Grandma Wu waved her hand.

"Oh, Xiaohui's back?"

As soon as Chen Hui arrived at the foot of Building 1, he saw his neighbor Uncle Liu across the hall, who was waiting for the elevator downstairs.

"Uncle Liu is off work so early?"

Chen Hui was somewhat surprised.

Uncle Liu laughed heartily, "I quit my job and changed jobs. Now I work nine to five, and even my hair has grown back a bit."

As he spoke, he lifted his wig, revealing that sparse hair had actually grown on his bald head.

"Congratulations, Uncle Liu."

Chen Hui was also infected by the other person's happiness and was in a great mood.

"Congratulations on your return!" Uncle Liu said with a smile.

The group went upstairs, where Aunt Fan Rong had already bought the groceries and even pre-processed some of them. She then entered the kitchen and began to get busy.

Li Tianhua sat in the living room, chatting animatedly with Teacher An.

Not long after, the door clicked open, and Li Qingrui and Li Qingshan returned from school. Now that they were older children, and since their school was nearby, they no longer needed to be picked up or dropped off.

"Brother, you are back!"

Li Qingrui's pigtails had turned into a single ponytail. When she saw Chen Hui, her eyes lit up, and she ran towards him, her ponytail bouncing behind her like a lively rabbit.

"Brother, I missed you so much!"

Bang!
Chen Hui had just stood up when Li Qingrui crashed into him like a cannonball. If Chen Hui hadn't already reached level 5 in physical education, he probably would have been knocked down by the impact.

"Has grown tall."

Chen Hui stroked Li Qingrui's head, which had grown to his chest, and sighed with emotion. So much had happened in just over a year.

"Brother, I miss you too."

Li Qingshan stood aside and waited until Chen Hui looked over before whispering something.

Chen Hui smiled and patted his head.

At this moment, Li Qingrui had already broken free from Chen Hui's embrace and peeked at Elena sitting next to her. Her eyes widened immediately. "Huh? Why did my brother change partners?"

"?" Chen Hui.

“I remember he wasn’t a foreigner in the last video.”

Li Qingrui said very seriously.

Chen Hui also felt helpless about today's young people. "This is my student, Elena."

"Artemisia vulgaris".

Elena couldn't understand what Chen Hui and the others were saying, but seeing that the two were talking to her, she raised her hand and greeted Li Qingrui in broken Chinese.

……

In the lounge of a courtyard house in Beijing,
Mr. Qian and others gathered together, while technicians were setting up the conference equipment in the next conference room.

Because of the tight schedule and the importance of the meeting, and because there wasn't enough time to wait for all the relevant personnel to come to Beijing, this meeting was moved online.

"Hey Lao Lin, I think your granddaughter and Professor Chen get along really well. They're high school classmates and have been together for over a year."

In the lounge, with nothing else to do, Old Zhao suddenly looked at Lin Zhengtian and said with a smile, "I watched Xiaotang grow up, and everyone knows about Professor Chen's background. They are simply a match made in heaven."

"You make it sound like I have the authority to make those decisions."

Lin Zhengtian rolled his eyes at Old Zhao, "What good would it do if I said anything to these young people these days?"

"You don't understand. Young people these days are too shy. If there's an external force pushing them, things might just fall into place."

Old Zhao didn't take it seriously, looking very confident. "Give me a straight answer, and I'll speak on your behalf."

"Alright, stop causing me trouble."

Lin Zhengtian said irritably, "Let's go, let's go to the meeting."

Old Qian watched the two bickering with a smile.

Little did Lin Zhengtian know that while he appeared unconcerned, he was actually quite thoughtful. He felt that Old Zhao's suggestion was indeed good, and that Chen Hui was a good boy and definitely a suitable son-in-law.

Upon entering the conference room, the elderly people immediately changed their expressions, their smiles vanishing and their faces turning serious.

By this time, the equipment had already been debugged and all relevant parties had joined the association.

After glancing around and finding that everyone had arrived, Mr. Qian said, "Professor Chen has returned from America. I'm sure everyone knows that."

Although there are many professors with the surname Chen, everyone knows who Professor Chen was referring to when Qian Xuesen spoke of him.

"Professor Chen plans to study controlled nuclear fusion next."

Upon hearing this, everyone in front of the video conference immediately brightened up.

They are all leaders of controlled nuclear fusion projects, pillars of the nation, and I've heard of some of Chen Hui's achievements, such as gallium oxide and the seventh-generation fighter jet...

These problems that had plagued countless scientists and engineers were solved in a short period of time thanks to Professor Chen's involvement.

If Professor Chen can solve the current problems of controlled nuclear fusion, it would naturally be a great thing for them.

"The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to ask you all what your opinions are if Professor Chen were to oversee research related to controlled nuclear fusion."

After speaking, Qian looked at Song Yuntao and Liu Yong in the video. One was the head of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the other was the head of the Southwest Institute of Physics of the Nuclear Industry. The two were considered the two leading figures in China's research on controlled nuclear fusion.

In particular, China now has two large-scale controlled nuclear fusion experimental devices, EAST and HL-2M, which are located in two different research institutes. If Chen Hui wants to study controlled nuclear fusion, he must go to one of these two institutes. Otherwise, without experimental devices, what kind of research can he do?
The meeting room fell silent immediately.

The initial enthusiasm of the crowd cooled down.

"Professor Qian, we welcome Professor Chen to come and study controlled nuclear fusion."

Finally, Liu Yong, the head of the Southwestern Institute of Physics of the Nuclear Industry, spoke up, "But his strength is mathematics. Controlled nuclear fusion is a large-scale project involving many aspects and is extremely complex. Professor Chen probably doesn't have experience in this area yet. Besides, he is a genius. Wasting his time on these things would be a waste of his talent, wouldn't it?"

"Or, if Professor Chen is interested in project management, how about letting him take charge of a small module first to get some experience?"

Mr. Qian looked at Liu Yong through the camera, gave him a deep look, and said, "Isn't this all thanks to you? With your assistance, experience is not a problem, and it won't take much time."

"To be honest with you, Professor Chen may not be interested in project management, but since he wants to do research, he needs to have absolute authority!"

"You guys handle the normal affairs, but Professor Chen has the final say on the crucial decisions!"

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

After Qian finished speaking, he looked around, his gaze captivating.
