Chapter 739 Planning (5)
Hearing what Mr. Zou said, Liu Weihua was a little worried.
“But even if I go back, it seems I can’t help Xiaoxue.
Even if I get promoted to a higher rank, I'll just be a division commander at best, and it seems like I won't be able to do anything.
Besides, we still have you, Mr. Zhang, and the Zhou family."
Zou Lao looked at him with a look of disappointment, "It's ok for you to mention those two, but why did you mention me?
You think that my current situation is good enough if I can help Xiaoxue and not cause her any trouble?
Besides, you don't protect your own niece, but rely on others for everything. Is that right?"
Liu Weihua did not dare to refute Zou Lao's scolding, and explained in a low voice, "It's not that my level is not high enough.
Didn’t you see what Xiaoxue made? Even Mr. Zhang couldn’t handle it and had to go to the big boss for help.
Do you think I have such great ability that I can protect you?"
“If your level is not high enough, find a way to move up.
Xiaoxue and Jianjun have entered the sight of the big boss, and he will naturally pay attention to you.
If you have made achievements, who would dare to stand in your way? "
"As for Lao Zhang and the Zhou family, I'm not saying they are unreliable, but no matter what, they are outsiders after all, and they don't care as much about Xiaoxue as they do about their own family.
While Xiaoxue hasn't been exposed yet, you have to work hard to climb up, the higher the better, and become her support.
And as for Jianjun, if he really goes to that secret unit, you will be a weakness for him if you still stay here.
And your eldest son, you can’t really let him be trapped on that island forever.”
Liu Weihua did not answer.
Mr. Zou ignored him and asked him to think it over carefully.
"Xiaoxue, if your uncle and aunt leave here, would you be willing to leave?" Mr. Zou asked Liu Jingxue again.
Liu Jingxue thought about it and shook her head.
“Grandpa Zou, even if my uncle and the others leave, I don’t want to leave here for the time being.
It's so nice here, remote enough, not busy, and allows me to concentrate on my research."
"Wouldn't it be better to go to a place where you don't have to work in the fields, don't have to look for raw materials, and can just concentrate on research?" Mr. Zou was really puzzled.
Shouldn't young people yearn for city life? What's the point of staying in the countryside?
He remembered that before the accident, his two grandsons didn't like the countryside very much and always liked to wander around the city.
But Xiaoxue has been here for more than two years, and she rarely goes out except to work in the fields and go to the mountains.
Among the female educated youth in the production team, she didn't interact much with the others except two of them.
Maybe it's because the people don't have the right temper, but isn't this child a little too independent?
Why don’t I have the vitality of young people? It feels like I’m living a retirement life.
If Mr. Zou were to take a trip to modern times, he would probably realize that Liu Jingxue is a stay-at-home girl.
Nowadays, homebodies are very common. If it is not necessary, they really won't go out.
Liu Jingxue grew up in a modern world with tall buildings and busy traffic, but now she lives in an era where she basically relies on her two legs to travel. All she sees are dirt roads. How can she feel like going out to relax?
That's not called relaxation, that's just making you depressed.
As for interacting with other people, how can people with different values and ideas have a conversation?
What's more, she has a face that makes gay men obsessed and lesbians jealous, so she is just asking for trouble if she goes out.
She has her own space and some modern stuff, so she can entertain herself.
Seeing that Zou Lao wanted her to go to the institute to concentrate on her research, Liu Jingxue quickly shook her head.
“Grandpa Zou, I don’t like that.
That would definitely attract a lot of attention and it wouldn't be secretive at all.
Just like this medicine, if I were developing it in a place like that, someone with ulterior motives would have discovered some clues from the traces a long time ago, so there's no way I could have kept it secret.
If you go to a place like that, you'll probably be bound by many rules and have no freedom at all.
What I research, how much raw materials I use, and how long it takes to produce results are all controlled by others, and I have no say in the matter.
Maybe you will even have to fight with others, which is very tiring."
“It would be nice to stay here.
I can study when I want to study and rest when I want to rest. It’s all up to me what to research.
Even if I stay here to work, it's only half a day a day, and I can take leave from time to time.
No one disturbs me and there aren't so many twists and turns.
To be honest, I like a simple life and don’t want to socialize too much with irrelevant people.”
Liu Jingxue stuck out her tongue and said, "Besides, here I can have meat for every meal, and I don't have to live with others and have them stare at me every day to see what I eat.
If you eat something good in the city, you will be stared at. If you are not careful, you don’t know what kind of accusation will be put on your head.”
"I think the latter is the main reason why you don't want to leave here," Liu Jianjun teased.
Liu Jingxue retorted, "No way, what I said before was also the truth."
“In fact, what Xiaoxue said is indeed true.
Take the research institutes of our army for example; it is not uncommon for leaks of secrets and the discovery of spies and secret agents.
As long as the raw material problem is solved, Xiaoxue can do the research alone, which will reduce the risk of leaks. "Liu Weihua said.
Zou Lao frowned, "It is indeed convenient for her to stay here for research, but how can her safety be guaranteed?"
"Grandpa Zou, I think you think too much.
As long as the news is not leaked, who would pay attention to me, a sent-down youth who went to the countryside?
Besides, you are well aware of my abilities. A dozen or so people are no match for me.
As for others using guns," Liu Jingxue smiled and decided to reveal some of her strength.
"To be honest, I can dodge bullets now as long as I take precautions."
Liu Jingxue is not bragging. Ever since Liu Jianjun took her to the shooting range, she found that with her speed, dodging bullets was not a problem at all.
"Are you so fast?" Mr. Zou asked in surprise.
Liu Jianjun coughed and said, "With my current speed, as long as there is a certain distance, it will be no problem to dodge bullets.
I'm a martial artist, so my reaction speed is already fast, and the drugs have increased it several times, so dodging bullets is no problem for me."
Liu Jingxue spread her hands and said, "So, as long as my information is not leaked, there will be no problem if I hide here.
Putting me in the crowd, too many people will notice me, which is more dangerous.”
“But what about the raw materials you are researching?
Do you rely on you to go into the mountains to collect herbs, or on the villagers to go into the mountains to collect them?
The types of herbs that can be collected here are limited, and many of them are not suitable for growth here.
This will limit your research.”
Liu Weihua suggested, "Then let's have someone collect herbs for her outside and bring them to her?"
Zou thought for a moment and then shook his head, "I'm afraid this won't work.
If someone follows that line, they would be able to find her.
Moreover, communication and transportation are not convenient here. If something happens, we can’t contact them in time.”
In fact, Liu Jingxue wanted to say that she didn’t need anyone else to provide her with raw materials. She could just let Tuanzi grow whatever she needed in the space.
But I couldn’t tell anyone about the things in the space. I could only watch them suffer.
Zou Lao shook his head, "Forget it, let's not think about it for now.
Jianjun, when the time comes, tell Lao Zhang that Xiaoxue doesn't want to leave here and wants to concentrate on her research outside, and see if there's any solution that can satisfy both parties.
It is indeed not appropriate to leave Xiaoxue under too many people's eyes. Who knows what deadly things she will do next."
"Grandpa Zou, I understand."
