Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Xiao Lu, you don't need to work anymore, go and rest. I need to make a phone call."

Lu Hong, who was getting water, felt a slight tremor in her heart, but she forced back her grievances and replied, "Okay, boss, I'll go out now."

"Ah."

Yang Jianguo, preoccupied with his own thoughts, did not notice her emotional fluctuations.

After letting Yingzi know he was safe, Yang Jianguo got up and went to the bathroom. Taking a cold shower invigorated him.

Back in my room, I casually dried my hair and sat down at the table.

Opening his briefcase, Yang Jianguo found a stack of documents and data about two fingers thick laid out before him. He quickly skimmed through it, marking the key points and checking for any omissions.

He is very confident in the technical field.

He is confident that he can easily handle academic discussions with top scientists from Western countries.

However, Yang Jianguo also has his own shortcomings in other areas.

Fortunately, he was only responsible for the technology and economic fields at this summit, serving as the main speaker and assistant speaker. He only needed to assist on the economic points, as the main speaker was a leading figure in the domestic economy.

Furthermore, the other party has close personal relationships with the national representatives attending the summit.

This is also an important reason why he was sent.

Therefore, Yang Jianguo only needs to ensure that he makes no mistakes in his own field, and assists by filling in any gaps during the lecture.

Clang clang~

There was a knock on the door. "Come in."

The door opened, and Lu Hong, with her head down, said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Boss, it's time for the dinner party."

"Ah."

Putting down the documents, Yang Jianguo looked at his secretary with a hint of curiosity.

Seeing that her eyes were slightly red, I couldn't help but be curious, but we were about to have dinner with the other ministers, so it was obviously not a good time to talk.

Yang Jianguo had no choice but to postpone the matter and focus on having dinner with his colleagues and representatives of the member countries.

Formal dinner parties can be a bit boring, consisting mostly of chatting about trivial topics and testing each other's intentions and bottom lines.

Then came constant speculation and conjecture.

Yang Jianguo wanted to exchange ideas with representatives from the technical field, but after looking around, he found that there were very few technical personnel present.

This place is ultimately a stage for politics.

Chapter 907 Indonesian and Thai Specialties, Lu Hong's Thoughts

After exchanging ideas with several researchers from various countries, Yang Jianguo gained a thorough understanding of their research progress.

Such face-to-face communication is far more reliable than cold, hard data.

Whether it's basic scientific research progress or deeper cutting-edge technology, China is ahead of everyone else, almost achieving a precipitous lead.

However, this is a conclusion he reached based on his own comprehensive judgment.

According to the representatives from India and Thailand, their countries' technological accumulation has reached the international leading level.

Some cutting-edge technologies are also progressing steadily.

Similar to the artificial sun technology that Yang Jianguo is currently leading, Indo-Pacific is also conducting corresponding research.

Other areas that have captured the attention of countries include chips, supercomputers, and artificial intelligence.

"We have plans to invest in research and development, and have achieved certain results in theory."

"Oh, you guys are too low-key. You've achieved such results without revealing a single thing." The crowd looked at the dark-skinned, boastful Indian representative with disdainful curiosity.

How did he manage to lie through his teeth in broad daylight without batting an eye?

Oh, or maybe your face is too dark to see any change.

These nice words are just to fool the officials and swindle some money from them.

Securing research funding is not bad.

They put on airs even in front of their peers, aren't they afraid of being publicly humiliated?

As for the extent of Intatech's investment in the technology sector, who among us is unaware of it?

Even if someone is trying to hide their talents, it's impossible for them to keep absolutely no information from being leaked.

Besides, given the nature of Indonesia and Thailand, they would make a big fuss about even the smallest progress, like banging drums and shouting it all over the world.

If what he said is true, then India and Thailand have achieved such remarkable results in cutting-edge fields.

It's been widely circulated and talked about all over the world for a long time.

Unlike now, where you can't even utter a fart.

In terms of technology, India and Thailand are like bound feet that can't go far; in terms of boasting, Voyager 1 can't even come close.

Judging from the behavior of the other scientists, they seem to genuinely believe that their technology is world-leading.

Before you could fool anyone else, you fooled yourself.

No wonder they can pull off so many outrageous stunts; their ability to deceive others while deceiving themselves is unparalleled.

This can be considered a specialty of Indonesia and Thailand, right?

On the way back after the dinner, Yang Jianguo asked Lu Hong what was wrong.

"Ah, it's nothing, boss, I'm probably just too tired."

Lu Hong lowered her head and looked around, clearly hiding something on her mind.

"Little Lu!"

"Yes, sir."

“Just say what you mean. You’ve been with me for quite a while now, why are you still hiding things from me?”

"Boss~" Lu Hong hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't withstand his piercing gaze: "I just heard them talking nonsense and I was worried that it would affect your reputation."

"Haha, you're not only worried about damaging my reputation, but you're also afraid I'll transfer you away!"

After she gave him a hint, Yang Jianguo understood everything.

There have been quite a few rumors circulating these past few days, with all sorts of things said, mostly just petty squabbles between men and women.

Yang Jianguo didn't take it to heart at all.

He's experienced this kind of thing far too many times, not just once or twice. When Han Xi was around when he was younger, there were even more rumors and gossip circulating about him behind his back.

You know, he was really young back then, looking like a young man in his twenties.

Unlike now, my temples are gray.

These handsome young man and beautiful young woman are inseparable, and they often spend time alone together in a room.

What they said was much harsher than what I'm saying now.

Finally!

It's all over now, and looking back, it's nothing special.

Not only did Yang Jianguo not take it to heart, but Han Xi also completely ignored it and never mentioned it to her.

Therefore, the environment does indeed have a significant impact on a person.

For Han Xi, rumors have probably been circulating since she was a child, and she's probably tired of hearing them.

Perhaps those rumors are less interesting than the ones she made up herself; they'd just be boring to listen to.

With such limited ability, you're still gossiping behind people's backs!

Laughing to death~

"Focus on your work and ignore those people. You should know that there are many boring people in this world. You can't control what others say, and even if you can control what they say, you can't control what they think."

The best way to deal with this is to produce results. Then, show them those results, let them see what real work you've done while they're gossiping.

"The rumors will be disproven on their own in time."

Yang Jianguo's words of comfort were very helpful; it's not that Lu Hong didn't care.

Instead, Yang Jianguo helped her put down the biggest stone in her heart.

As long as the leader is not affected and has no intention of transferring her from her post, then she has nothing to worry about.

Those rumors are nothing more than things that make you feel uncomfortable.

Despite the discomfort, Lu Hong was actually quite happy.

The male protagonist in the rumors is the dream of so many people.

It is no exaggeration to say that generations of working-class children grew up listening to his legendary stories.

Lu Hong was no exception.

Lu Hong even came to work at the Ministry of Works specifically because of him.

When Lu Hong was chosen by her boss to be his secretary, it felt like a dream come true.

Even now, Lu Hong can still feel the palpitations of that day when she recalls it, the feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her chest and her whole body felt like it was on fire.

She would be willing to spend her whole life by his side, even if it meant serving him tea and water.

Lu Hong felt a sweet warmth in her heart whenever she could see him.

She knew that her mindset was wrong.

But she couldn't control her feelings, and she never expected anything from them.

I just want to be down-to-earth, follow the leader around, serve him tea and water, carry his bag and run errands. That would be enough for me.

"Hum~"

Humming a little tune, Lu Hong happily walked towards the small Chinese kitchen, intending to see what food was available to prepare a late-night snack for her boss.

Judging from the number of documents the boss just laid out on the table, he'll definitely be working until midnight again tonight.

If I don't eat something, my stomach will break down sooner or later.

The small kitchen was located in the annex where they were staying. It was specially prepared for their Chinese team and was staffed 24 hours a day.

The chef was brought from China, and even the ingredients were the same.

After turning the corner, Lu Hong saw the small kitchen ahead, where the scene in front of the door was unusually lively.

Two security guards were holding down a woman dressed in a conference uniform, speaking solemnly through a walkie-talkie.

"what happened?"

Lu Hong quickened her pace and glanced at the small kitchen through the security guard's arm.

The place was a mess, with all sorts of kitchen utensils and ingredients rummaged out, and security guards were carefully inspecting them.

"Secret Road".

The arriving military officer nodded in acknowledgment and, after a brief inquiry, explained to her, "Someone entered the kitchen without permission and touched the ingredients. My colleagues are conducting a routine check."

Chapter 908 A New Path, A Restless and Busy Life

After inspection, no problems were found so far.

Upon receiving the news, the leader also dispatched his secretary to inquire about the specifics.

Lu Hong and the other party exchanged opinions and both felt that the ingredients here could no longer be used.

"Have someone go back to the plane and get it!"

Deploying large aircraft as special planes is not just for show; the various supplies and medical teams carried along are also essential.

The minor incident that occurred did not affect the normal convening of the summit.

Yang Jianguo, who is busy with meetings, preparing materials, and organizing data all day long, naturally wouldn't be bothered by such trivial matters.

After contacting several foreign institutions, Yang Jianguo discovered that their unconventional research and development directions also had their merits.

However, the other party's progress was too slow, and he couldn't find a clue for the time being.
