Genius is just the threshold for me!

Although Lin Dong's hometown is in the Sichuan region, it is not in the Chengdu area, but in Lezhi County, Ziyang, more than 100 kilometers away.

Because the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway, which connects Chengdu directly to Lezhi in Ziyang, was not yet open in 2014, the only way to get back to Lezhi was to take the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway and then transfer to National Highway 318.

Around 10 a.m., the vehicle arrived in Lezhi County, Ziyang, after driving for more than two hours.

Instead of stopping in the county town, we changed direction and drove into one of the townships.

"Son, we're home!"

Around 11 a.m., the vehicle stopped in front of a newly built three-story house in a village near a town. The house had a sign that read "Home of Party Members" on the door.

Two security vehicles parked in front and behind, and two personnel entered the building with instruments to check the situation.

Lin Weiliang woke up Lin Dong, who was sleeping in the back seat, and got out of the car to get his things.

"arrive?"

Lin Dong yawned, opened his eyes, and glanced ahead. He saw two elderly people who had come out of the house after hearing the noise and hearing who it was.

"Grandpa, Grandma."

Lin Dong unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, jumped out, and ran over with a cheer on his face.

"Hey, Xiao Dong's back!"

When Lin Dong's grandfather, Lin Chong'an, and grandmother, He Yin, saw Lin Dong, they immediately responded and quickened their pace to come over.

Lin Chong'an walked up, patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, looked him over, and said happily, "You've grown taller."

"Grandpa, my dad said you haven't been feeling well lately?" Lin Dong asked with concern, taking Lin Chong'an's hand.

"It's nothing, I've just been having trouble sleeping lately," Lin Chong'an waved his hand and chuckled, "You get old, that's how it is."

"Xiao Dong, don't listen to his nonsense. He doesn't have trouble sleeping."

Hearing this, He Yin said irritably, "He's just keeping his eyes open until dawn."

"What do you know? The doctor said he must have fallen asleep, otherwise he wouldn't have any energy..." Lin Chong'an quickly replied.

"Dad, Mom."

At this moment, Zhang Xiali came over carrying some things, called out to the two elderly people, and then asked Lin Chong'an, "Dad, you've been having a lot of insomnia lately."

"About a week, but apart from occasionally feeling a little dazed, I'm otherwise fine..." Lin Chong'an shook his head gently.

"Your blood pressure isn't high, is it?" Zhang Xiali then asked.

"That's fine, I get a dose every few days..."

Lin Weiliang came over carrying some things and overheard the conversation. After looking at Lin Chong'an's complexion, he said, "Dad, I'll ask around these next couple of days and have someone take a look and help you."

"Take care of yourself... When I'm sixty, I won't have as much gray hair as you have at forty."

Lin Chong'an glanced at Lin Weiliang and said irritably, "You work so hard every day, even if the government pays you, you don't have to do this."

"..." Lin Weiliang's lips twitched, and he looked at Lin Dong.

"..." Lin Dong looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, not daring to speak.

"Lin Chong'an, don't be like this when your son and grandson come back. Don't keep worrying about them when they don't come back, and don't be so good-tempered when they do come back... Xia Li, Xiao Dong, go inside. What are you doing standing outside in the middle of summer?"

Grandma Lin Dong muttered a curse from the side, then took some things from Zhang Xiali and beckoned Lin Dong and the others to go inside.

"it is good."

Zhang Xiali nodded, and the group went inside.

At this point, the security personnel finished their inspection, said goodbye, and drove off to find a place to rest.

Lin Dong and Lin Weiliang lagged two steps behind, watching their grandparents' backs as they walked ahead. Lin Dong leaned close to Lin Weiliang and whispered, "Dad, who are you asking for help? Do you need me to...?"

"Don't cause trouble!"

Lin Weiliang looked startled and said irritably, "Biology is not military research and development, I can't cover it up."

He had been constantly worried about his son's desire to study biology.

He was just playing around with that small biology lab when he was in elementary school out of pure curiosity, and he didn't actually research anything.

But unexpectedly, a few years later, this unfilial son pulled out a biological report that fooled even the Americans...

If this kid suddenly changes careers and stops working with machines to work with biology, he really won't be able to sleep at night.

"Dad, what are you thinking? I mean, should we ask the leaders to invite a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look..." Lin Dong rolled his eyes speechlessly.

In modern medicine, Western medicine is more effective in providing rapid treatment results.

But when it comes to conditioning the body, apart from the high-end biological approach of the US, such as biological factors and youth antibodies, traditional Chinese medicine is more effective.

"However, Dad, we can try the biological research you mentioned in a few years once our equipment catches up. We won't touch that longevity technology, but we can still explore other consumer products that improve life and health."

Lin Dong briefly explained his idea.

Globally, quantitative easing policies are being expanded, with various regions continuously injecting liquidity.

Under the influence of economic globalization, the domestic money supply growth rate, specifically the M2 indicator, has been forced to increase, continuously exceeding the normal growth rate of GDP.

This means that the money supply has begun to be over-issued.

In this situation, there must be a reservoir to absorb or withdraw the excess currency; otherwise, if this currency floods into the ordinary commodity market, it will inevitably lead to hyperinflation of commodity prices.

Where this reservoir was built in the previous life, everyone knows.

But now that we've taken a different industrial path, this problem definitely needs to be solved through industry as well; we can't repeat the mistakes of the past.

The upstream and downstream industries of new energy, along with the upstream and downstream industries of AI, can still attract a large amount of capital, at most for a few more years.

However, in a few years, these two industries may not be able to absorb so much over-issued currency, and new industrial pools will need to be established...

Otherwise, the housing market would stabilize, but housing prices wouldn't take off.

But when rice became 20 yuan or 50 yuan per kilogram, and pork became 80 yuan or 100 yuan per kilogram, it became even more outrageous.

"It's good that you have a plan, but not right now..."

When Lin Weiliang heard that they should wait until the core equipment was complete before proceeding with this, he didn't object. After thinking for a moment, he said, "As for your grandfather's condition, I'll ask the leaders in Sichuan if there are any suitable doctors. Don't go to the leaders for every little family matter."

Your godfather gives several reports a year, and he'll be completely under your command from now on. Don't bring up such trivial matters...

"Alright then, you can arrange it."

Lin Dong nodded. He knew that Lin Weiliang now held titles such as AI King and New Industry King, and had extensive connections and networks in China, so finding a few top doctors wouldn't be difficult.

After chatting for a while and confirming the doctor's information, Lin Dong went over to chat with his grandparents and help them out.

When it was time to eat, I successfully received a whole chicken leg as a reward.

At home, we usually chop chicken legs into pieces and eat them separately.

He only gets to enjoy a whole chicken leg all to himself at his grandparents' or maternal grandparents' houses.

After lunch.

Lin Weiliang and Zhang Xiali went upstairs to tidy up the room.

Grandma He Yin brought out a plate of grapes, and together with Lin Chong'an, pulled Lin Dong to sit down in front of her, asking questions with a happy expression.

"Xiao Dong, I heard from your mom that you have a girlfriend now?"

"Yes, I've reserved a granddaughter-in-law for you in advance..."

Lin Dong took two seedless grapes, popped them into his mouth, spat out the skins, and pulled out his phone, laughing, "Let me show you the photos..."

Regarding Xu Qingling's matter, although it was a childhood betrothal, Zhang Xiali and Lin Weiliang were afraid of gossip in the village because of her young age, so they did not tell Lin Dong's grandparents.

It wasn't until this year, after their birthdays, that Zhang Xiali called back and briefly mentioned it.

"Hey, isn't she pretty? Her name is Xu Qingling."

Lin Dong found a photo of himself and Xu Qingling taken at the school gate before summer vacation and placed it in front of his grandmother.

"Let me see..."

He Yin watched as Xu Qingling leaned against Lin Dong on the screen, her face beaming with youthful affection, and then at his gradually developing and shapely figure. A happy and kind smile immediately appeared on He Yin's face.

"Okay, okay, beautiful. Next time you have time, bring it back for Grandma to see..."

"You didn't drink at noon, what nonsense are you talking about..."

Lin Chong'an also came over for a look, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. But upon hearing He Yin's words, he immediately scolded, "Don't you know how old Xiao Dong is? He hasn't even finished university yet. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about if you bring him back..."

"I asked Xiaodong to invite his classmates over to play, is there a problem?"

He Yin replied, then handed the phone back to Lin Dong, and said with a happy smile, "Xiao Dong, don't invite Qingling alone. You can invite a few more classmates to come and play. There are enough rooms at home now, so you don't have to worry about people gossiping."

"That will do."

Lin Chong'an nodded upon hearing this, and then, as if remembering something, said with a worried expression, "Xiao Dong, I recently heard from people in town that your uncle's Xingdong Company has assets worth trillions."

When your mother came back last time, she said your father still had shares in the company. Is that true?

"Grandpa, it's not that serious..."

Lin Dong took two grapes, popped them into his mouth, spat out the skins, and said with a smile, "My dad said I should just earn a little money to make a living."

Although Lin Weiliang holds the title of "King of New Industries" and has a relationship with Xingdong Company, now anyone with even a slight connection knows that Huang Qingyao calls Lin Dong "son of the richest man" every day.

However, due to Lin Weiliang's own confidentiality level and the sensitivity of his work, Lin Weiliang's name was not published on the list of pig slaughterers, and there was no related news media coverage.

Most people only know about Xingdong Company and Zhang Fangxu (Zhang's brother-in-law), and are unaware of Lin Weiliang's existence.

"You little brat, you're just like your old man, trying to fool your grandpa, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong'an immediately retorted irritably, "I've seen several special reports about your uncle and Xingdong Company on Channel 1 News."

They're touted as the driving force behind the new energy industry and the AI-powered intelligent machinery industry; these two industries are now being touted as the foundation of the nation's future over the next decade…

"If your mother's hometown weren't in Chengdu, which is quite far from our home, and if no one here knew your uncle, our doorstep would have been worn down by everyone."

"Grandpa, my dad works in technology."

Lin Dong noticed Lin Chong'an's worry, took his grandfather's hand, and earnestly comforted him, "He's not responsible for handling these business and industrial matters. My uncle's company is also state-owned."

"It's good to be a tech person. Technology is the foundation. As for everything else, whether you make a lot of money or a little, as long as you have enough to live on, that's fine."

Lin Chong'an understood Lin Dong's meaning and sighed slightly: "Your uncle's Xingdong Company is doing well now, but this success is due to the support of the country, the times, and the people, not your father and his family's personal achievements..."

Your dad listens to you more now. You should help Grandpa keep an eye on him. Only by staying true to your roots can you go far.

"Grandpa, I understand." Lin Dong nodded with a smile.
