Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

As soon as the cabin door of the Boeing 707 opened, a biting wind mixed with snowflakes hit the faces of several elderly foreign men.

These are not ordinary foreign guests.

Leading the way was Professor Heidegger, President of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee.

He held the briefcase tightly in his arms, as if it were his lifeblood.

The four people following behind were also leading figures in their respective judging committees.

The five gold trophies represent:

Physics (single crystal alloys and micro generators).

Chemistry (carbon-based wafers and high-density batteries).

Medicine (nanotargeted anticancer agent).

Economics (Quantum algorithms are reshaping global finance).

And, the Nobel Peace Prize, which saved hundreds of millions of starving people around the world!

In the nearly 100-year history of the Nobel Prize, there has never been a precedent of all five prizes being awarded to the same person in the same year!

This is not just breaking with convention, it's practically trampling the pride and rules of the entire Western scientific community into the ground!

But they had no choice.

If these awards are not given to Zhang Huaimin this year, then the Nobel Prize, which is known as the world's highest academic honor, will be completely ruined.

The whole world will laugh at them.

"Minister Li, please arrange for us to meet with Mr. Zhang Huaimin as soon as possible."

Upon arriving at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Heidegger didn't even have time to drink a sip of hot water before grabbing the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Trade official in charge of receiving him and speaking urgently.

"The awards ceremony is very close in time, and we must escort Mr. Zhang to Stockholm immediately."

Minister Li secretly rejoiced as he watched these foreign dignitaries, who were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but outwardly he wore a troubled expression.

"Professor Heidegger, it's not that we don't want to make arrangements."

"Consultant Zhang... he's been very busy lately and really can't find the time."

Busy?

Heidegger was stunned, and the several foreign old men looked at each other in bewilderment.

What could be more important than going to Sweden to receive the world's highest honor and enjoy the spotlight?

"This... Minister Li, you must be joking, right?"

Heidegger panicked and grabbed Minister Li's arm.

"If Mr. Zhang is willing to go, our judging panel will send a top-of-the-line royal jet to pick him up!"

"From the moment you step off the plane, a red carpet is laid out all the way to City Hall!"

"The King of Sweden will personally toast him at the banquet!"

"We could even rewrite the entire awards ceremony program just for him!"

The terms offered were so humble they were practically beneath our notice.

To get this Eastern prodigy to lend his services, these arrogant Western academic bigwigs have completely abandoned all pretense of decency.

however.

Three whole days have passed.

Heidegger and his team paced anxiously like trapped animals in the state guesthouse, their hair almost pulled out.

But they didn't even see a shadow of Zhang Huaimin.

On the morning of the fourth day, Heidegger could no longer contain himself and was preparing to personally rush to the entrance of the Future Technology Building to block it.

In the reception room of the state guesthouse.

A young female secretary, dressed in a business suit and exuding a capable air, walked in.

She was Yu Li's personal secretary, the president of Future Technology Group.

"Professor Heidegger, hello."

The female secretary smiled, her tone polite but carrying an air of aloof indifference.

"I am Chairman Zhang's secretary."

"Oh my God! Finally, news!"

Heidegger was so excited that he jumped up and rushed towards her as if she were his lifeline.

"Mr. Zhang, are you ready to depart? Our private jet has already applied for the highest-level flight route!"

The other judges also gathered around, their eyes full of anticipation.

The female secretary looked at the group of excited foreign old men and shook her head slightly.

"I'm sorry, Professor."

She took a document out of her briefcase and handed it over.

"Chairman Zhang asked me to pass on this message to everyone."

The female secretary's voice was calm and unhurried, yet it was like a bucket of ice water poured over Heidegger and the others.

"Chairman Zhang said that he is going to water his flowers and plants in the backyard of the courtyard house today, and also to study how to make the watermelons sweeter in winter."

"Going to Sweden to brave the cold wind? That's too far, and the weather's bad. He simply doesn't have the leisure for that."

Watering...watering the flowers?!

Researching how to grow watermelons?!

Heidegger's eyes widened, and his jaw dropped to his chest with a "thud".

The Nobel Prize committee members standing nearby were stunned, their mouths agape as if they had heard the most absurd joke in the world.

The prestigious Nobel Prize!

The highest honor to be crowned with five major awards at the same time!

The Holy Grail of science, which countless scientists have spent their entire lives and whose hair has turned white, is still out of reach of many scientists!

In the eyes of this 18-year-old Chinese youth.

actually……

It's not even as important as watering the watermelons in the yard?!

What kind of insane logic is this?!

"This...this...how is this possible!"

Heidegger was so angry that he trembled, pointed at the female secretary, and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"This is the Nobel Prize! It's the highest honor for scientists worldwide!"

"How could he so easily disregard this honor?!"

The female secretary looked at the furious Heidegger, smiled faintly, and spoke with an air of extreme Versailles and disdain.

"Professor, Chairman Zhang also said..."

"Those so-called trophies are honors to you, but to him they are nothing more than a few metal lumps cast in a mold."

"If you find it heavy."

The female secretary pointed to the five combination lock boxes on the table.

"Chairman Zhang said, 'Keep this trophy for yourselves, consider it a memento.'"

After speaking, the female secretary gave a slight bow, turned around, and left the meeting room without looking back, her high heels clicking on the floor.

Only a group of Nobel Prize committee members were left completely petrified and bewildered.

Dead silence.

A deathly silence fell over the reception room of the state guesthouse.

Heidegger slumped onto the sofa, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

humiliation!

The ultimate humiliation!

They waited here for three days with the utmost sincerity from the world's highest academic circles, like grandchildren.

As a result, they didn't even give them a second glance.

They even regard the Nobel Prize trophy, which they regard as a god, as worthless scrap metal!

How can this be considered disrespect?

This is clearly a slap in the face to the entire Western scientific community!

But ironically, they didn't even have the confidence to lash out.

Because every technology Zhang Huaimin presents is a game-changer for their existing scientific system!

They have the right to be arrogant! They have the right to be disdainful!

"Chairman... what do we do now?"

One of the physics prize judges swallowed hard, looked at the briefcase on the table, and asked bitterly.

"If we don't award the trophy, how can we explain ourselves to the world when we go back this year?"

Heidegger stared intently at the several combination lock boxes.

His chest heaved violently as he went through a fierce, almost humiliating internal struggle.

At last.

He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and gritted his teeth like a gambler who had lost everything.

"Since he's not coming..."

Heidegger took a deep breath and made an extremely absurd decision that went against the principles established by his ancestors nearly a century ago for the Nobel Prize.

"Then let's take these five trophies..."

"Send it to him via international post to that courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang!"
