At his age, he no longer cares about money, but he still cannot escape the desire for fame.

"Teacher, you think too highly of me. I am not as good as you say."

Zhou Chen is very humble. He knows his own business. The reason he has such good medical skills and theories is the accumulation of several worlds.

He worked as a doctor for decades in the world of "Nothing But Love", and later acquired the Zhou family's ancestral medical skills in "Nothing But Love". After the accumulation of several worlds, this is his foundation.

Without this foundation, he would probably just be an ordinary student in medical school, or at most a slightly better one.

Wang Jingping smiled and said, "It's a good thing to be humble. This industry requires humility. I asked you to come here today for a good thing, but I still want to ask for your own opinion."

"Good thing?"

Zhou Chen was surprised. It seemed that it was not a small matter since Professor Wang said it so seriously.

"Yes, it's a good thing. As you know, our school has exchanges with some foreign schools and we have some exchange students every year. This time we contacted Johns Hopkins University in the United States. The clinical medicine major of this school is very famous throughout the United States. I have secured an exchange student spot for you."

“Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland?”

Zhou Chen was even more surprised. He had of course heard of this university. This university was not ordinary.

The first research university in the United States is also one of the 14 founding schools of the United States Association of Universities, a North American academic alliance. He had heard in later generations that this school had been the university with the highest scientific research funding expenditure in the United States for more than years.

What’s even more exaggerated is that this school has dozens of people who have won the Nobel Prize, and it is a world-renowned prestigious university.

"Yes, it's this university. You've heard of it?"

Wang Jingping was also surprised that Zhou Chen could tell the city or province where the school was located. After all, the country is relatively conservative now and the public knows very little about foreign countries.

"Now that you know, that's even better. This school is a research university. It has a lot of equipment that our school lacks. You have outstanding abilities. If you go there, you will definitely be able to display your abilities."

Even though Wang Jingping was unwilling, he had to admit that there was a big gap between China today and foreign countries, especially the United States.

He wanted Zhou Chen to go in order to create opportunities for him, and he also wanted Zhou Chen to learn more knowledge and then come back to serve his motherland.

Feeling the teacher's earnest expectations, Zhou Chen made a little joke: "Teacher, aren't you afraid that I will go abroad and never come back?"

Nowadays, many people in China are obsessed with Western things and want to go abroad, as if everything abroad is good. This unhealthy trend is extremely rampant.

Wang Jingping laughed and said, "If it were someone else, I would really be worried, but for you, I'm afraid you don't want to go."

Zhou Chen was silent for a moment before he replied, "Teacher, I need to think about it carefully."

What Wang Jingping said was right. He really didn't want to go. He had been to the United States countless times and knew very well what it was like.

The Chinese people of this era are full of yearning for the United States, but as far as he is concerned, he still has more feelings for the land of his motherland.

In this era, the status of Chinese in the United States was actually very low. Not to mention first-class citizens, even third-class citizens were a stretch.

What's more, his mission is mainly to the Qiao family. Going abroad will not be of any benefit to his mission.

But going to Johns Hopkins University is not without its benefits. There, he can study and research, use better machines, and he can also gain the title of a returnee, which will facilitate his future work.

I have to say that in this era, overseas returnees are still very popular. Even if you went to a fake university in the United States, it can be used as a qualification in China.

There are both good and bad things, so Zhou Chen needs to think carefully and also discuss it with his parents and girlfriend.

Wang Jingping was not surprised by Zhou Chen's answer. He said, "It is right to be cautious, but personally, I hope you can go and learn advanced Western medical knowledge. Bringing it back will be beneficial to the country and the school. Of course, the most important thing is that it will allow you to give full play to your abilities and achieve greater success in the future."

"I understand what the teacher means, but this matter is of great importance, so I still need to think about it."

"Then think about it carefully. Anyway, the exchange will start in the second half of the year, and there are still a few months left. When you have considered it, give me a reply."

Wang Jingping didn't say anything more. In fact, not only him, but many leaders in the school also hoped that Zhou Chen could go.

Because Zhou Chen had studied at Jinling Medical University for several years, the school leaders knew him very well, especially his attitude towards the country, which he put absolutely first. Many of his inventions were donated to the school and the country free of charge.

This is extremely rare even in the entire medical community, and this precious quality is the biggest reason why they feel at ease.

If it were someone else, once they sent it out they would have to worry about it not coming back, which would be a waste of resources. But with Zhou Chen, the possibility of him not coming back is very small.

After chatting with Wang Jingping for a while, Zhou Chen stood up and said goodbye.

After returning home, Zhou Chen told his parents about this.

"You want to study abroad? That's a good thing."

Zhou Jianguo seemed very happy. After being a boss for several years, his horizons had been greatly broadened, but he was still not out of touch with the times. Like most people, he thought that studying abroad was an honorable thing.

Han Huifang, on the other hand, looked nervous: "How many years will I have to stay abroad?"

She also wants her son to have a bright future, but she hopes even more that he can stay with her. Over the years, she has never been separated from her son, and the longest she has not seen him is half a month.

But if Zhou Chen went abroad, they might not see each other for a year.

Zhou Chen said: "I don't know exactly how many years it will take, but it should be around two years."

“Two years is such a long time.”

"Two years is not a long time, Huifang. Studying abroad is a good thing. When Xiaochen went to college, he didn't go to a better school because he didn't want to leave us. Now he has the opportunity to further his studies, and we can't become an obstacle to him."

Zhou Jianguo instead tried to persuade his wife. He always felt that his son did not choose a university in the capital because he did not want to leave them. So when faced with such a thing again, he hoped that his son could do what he wanted.

"Xiaochen, whether to go or not is up to you. Don't worry about us. We have Chenxing to take care of now, and we will be busy in the next few years. You just need to follow your heart."

Zhou Chen was surprised by his father's open-mindedness and he pondered for a while.

"Dad, Mom, I haven't thought it through yet. I need to think about it again. Anyway, there are still a few months before the exchange."

"Okay, son, I'll listen to you. If you say go, then go. If you don't want to go, then don't go."

When Han Huifang heard that it would be several months before she could leave, she felt relieved.

He informed his parents in advance, but Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to inform Qiao Sanli. He planned to think about it for a while and then ask Qiao Sanli what she thought.

Although this incident happened, Zhou Chen's life remained unchanged. Study, life, and daily life seemed to be unchanged, but they were also ever-changing and not monotonous.

On the weekend, Zhou Chen went to the Normal University to pick up Qiao Sanli and was preparing to take her out to play.

"Zhou Chen, my brother called my dormitory yesterday and told us not to make any plans for tonight. He wants to treat us to a meal and introduce us to his girlfriend."

The news Qiao Sanli suddenly said shocked Zhou Chen, "Your elder brother has a girlfriend?"

"Yeah, I don't know what happened either. I hadn't heard about it before. He called me yesterday and told me to take you with me."

Zhou Chen asked tentatively: "Then do you know who his girlfriend is?"

Some time ago, because of Qiao Simei's incident, Qiao Yicheng might have felt guilty, so he rarely contacted him, and he didn't know about Qiao Yicheng's situation.

Qiao Yicheng suddenly got a girlfriend, which made him think of Ye Xiaolang in the plot. It seemed that they met shortly after Qiao Yicheng started working and got married quickly.

Could it be that fate has not changed and Qiao Yicheng meets Ye Xiaolang again?

Qiao Sanli shook her head and said, "I don't know. My eldest brother didn't tell me, but I found out when we had dinner together tonight. I'm also very curious about what kind of woman could win the favor of my eldest brother. I don't know if this future sister-in-law is easy to get along with."

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Zhou Chen did not worry too much about it. If the side quest could not be completed, then it could not be completed. As long as the main quest was completed, that would be fine.

"Don't think too much. Even if your future sister-in-law is difficult to get along with, it has nothing to do with us. You are not planning to live with them."

"What you said makes sense, but I am worried about my eldest brother. He has been so concerned about us brothers and sisters. I hope he can meet a good sister-in-law who treats him well, tolerates him, and loves him."

Zhou Chen did not try to destroy Qiao Sanli's fantasy. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Ye Xiaolang.

Thinking about Ye Xiaolang's situation in the plot, Qiao Yicheng was really unlucky to meet this woman.

If everything else is understandable, aborting one's own child in order to go abroad is probably something that most men cannot tolerate.

As for whether he could find a way to destroy them, Zhou Chen had no confidence, because since Qiao Yicheng had already decided to introduce Ye Xiaolang to one of his brothers, sisters or friends, it meant that their relationship had developed to a certain extent, and they might even have decided to get married.

If he were to try to stop him at this time, with Qiao Yichen's personality, he would probably turn against him.

"Sanli, when we go there tonight, no matter what you think of your eldest brother's girlfriend, don't show any displeasure, okay?"

Qiao Sanli rolled her eyes and glanced at Zhou Chen: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't know the limits in your eyes?"

"No, our Sanli is gentle and kind, of course she can't be that kind of person."

"That's pretty much it."

At this point, Qiao Sanli suddenly whispered, "Zhou Chen, Simei might also be there tonight, I hope you can..."

Before she could finish, Zhou Chen held her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm not that petty. I won't get angry with her. Besides, it was your eldest brother who set up the game, so I have to give you face anyway."

Only then did Qiao Sanli feel relieved, and then she talked about Qiao Simei's situation.

"I heard from my second brother that Simei has changed a lot recently and she hasn't mentioned Shaoyang anymore. I think she has let it go."

"maybe."

It’s hard to say for Zhou Chen. In the plot, Qiao Simei treated Qi Chenggang like that because they were already married.

But Shaoyang is different. They have not been dating for a long time and have not gotten married. As long as Qiao Simei is not mentally ill, he will not do such a stupid thing as waiting.

They had an appointment in the evening, but they had time during the day, so Zhou Chen drove Qiao Sanli to the city, and the two of them went for a walk around the city.

In the afternoon, he received a call from Qi Weimin, saying that Qiao Yicheng also called him and asked Zhou Chen and others to give them a ride.

There was still some time before lunchtime, so Zhou Chen drove to Qi Weimin's school.

Qi Weimin is also studying for a master's degree and will graduate this summer. He was originally in the same year as Qiao Yicheng, but because of his father's affairs, he was unable to continue his studies. He was only admitted to graduate school in his second year.

Arriving at the destination, Zhou Chen saw Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu at a glance. Now that they have confirmed their relationship, they are not afraid of being gossiped about, so they often go out in pairs.

"Qi Weimin."

Seeing Zhou Chen's car coming, Qi Weimin immediately pulled Chang Xingyu over, opened the door and got in the car.

"Zhou Chen, Sanli."

"cousin."

Qi Weimin smiled, then said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, did you hear that? Sanli calls me cousin. You are together with Sanli, so you should call me cousin in the future."

"hehe."

Zhou Chen responded with a disdainful sneer: "You want me to call you cousin? I advise you to give up that idea. To be honest, I am still Xingyu's senior brother. Why don't you call me senior brother too?"

Chang Xingyu went to the same middle school as Zhou Chen, but he started two years later than Zhou Chen. So it's natural for him to be his senior.

Qi Weimin said to Chang Xingyu: "See, this guy is not someone who will suffer any loss."

Chang Xingyu and Qiao Sanli both covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Let's go. If we're late, Qiao Yicheng will definitely complain."

Chapter 509 Ye Xiaolang, Marriage, Engagement

"Yicheng, are your brothers, sisters, and friends easy to get along with?"

At the entrance of the hotel, Qiao Yicheng and a woman were standing arm in arm.

This woman is his girlfriend, named Ye Xiaolang. Although they have known each other for a short time, they have established a relationship and are ready to get married.

Listening to his girlfriend's worried words, Qiao Yicheng gently comforted her: "Don't worry, the people who will come later are my brothers and sisters, and my best friends. They are all very nice people, so you don't have to worry so much."

Ye Xiaolang smiled and said, "Okay, I will believe you. If it is different from what you said, I will make you pay."

"So how do you want me to look good?"

Qiao Yicheng chuckled and said that even the most honest person would become different in front of the person he likes, and he was the same.

Ye Xiaolang said coquettishly: "Hateful."

Looking at Qiao Yicheng's not-so-handsome face, she felt quite satisfied.

In the past few years, in order to climb up the ladder, she has experienced many things and had many people, including many boyfriends.

Qiao Yicheng was not the best man she had ever dated, but he was definitely the most special one, because compared to other 'smart' men, Qiao Yicheng was a little 'dull'.

But it is precisely because of this "stupidity" that she feels at ease dating Qiao Yicheng. Also, because Qiao Yicheng is capable and willing to work hard, she wants to marry Qiao Yicheng, and then work together with Qiao Yicheng to achieve her goals.

Most importantly, she could see that Qiao Yicheng had fallen in love with her. As the one being loved, she could get more from Qiao Yicheng.

"My brother is here."

Qiao Yicheng suddenly said to Ye Xiaolang, and Ye Xiaolang's expression immediately changed. He looked at Qiao Erqiang who was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

When Qiao Erqiang arrived, Qiao Yicheng introduced him: "This is my brother, Qiao Erqiang, Erqiang, and this is my girlfriend, Ye Xiaolang."

Qiao Erqiang immediately called out, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Ye Xiaolang also smiled and replied: "Hello, I often hear Yicheng talking about you guys, and today I finally met you. Are you working at Chenxing Textile Factory?"

Qiao Erqiang said quickly: "Yes, I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I just got off work and was afraid I wouldn't be able to catch up, so I didn't even change my clothes."
