Text Chapter 227 Drinking Tea

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the office door was pushed open, the silver-haired old man appeared in front of Zhou Li.

    Although she was old, her expression was dignified and serious. She walked into the office with a soft smile and extended her palm to Zhou Li: "Hello, Zhou Li.".

    "I am the director of the 'relevant departments', Qian Lizhen."

    Zhou Li was silent for three seconds. He had the urge to blink his eyes hard and restrained himself from activating his ability.  He took two seconds to reconfirm the old and kind old man in front of him, and recalled what she said to him.

    If I heard correctly, then China was the strongest in its predecessor. It had emerged since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It single-handedly established the "relevant departments", planned the anti-invasion plan against people with Vietnam capabilities, and single-handedly defeated the National Geographic Research Institute of the United States on the Korean battlefield.  The six fourth-stage ability users of the 'Will Diving Club', the predecessor of the association, and the legendary ability user who once served as the 'Emperor', the director of the 'relevant department' are they female?  !

    The surprise only lasted for a moment, and Zhou Li soon returned to normal. He reached out to hold the slightly old but clean and soft palm, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I didn't expect it."

    "Didn't you think I was an old woman?"

    The old man, who has always been called "Director" by everyone, humorously mocked himself: "Today's young people always look like they are shocked when they see me for the first time."

    Zhou Li was silent for a while and said calmly: "Indeed, I didn't expect it."

    To be honest, he once imagined that the director of the "relevant department" might be a young man who was over 80 but still handsome and young. He imagined that he was skinny and old but his eyes were as sharp as knives.  But what never occurred to him was that this once all-powerful ability user was a woman.

    "Many related matters are confidential and cannot be made public. It seems that I have been misunderstood very much."

    Qian Lizhen sighed helplessly, sitting opposite Zhou Li, with a hint of seriousness in her expression: "Thank you for the hard work along the way."

    "It's actually not bad."

    Perhaps he noticed a hint of nervousness and uneasiness deep in Zhou Li's eyes.  Qian Lizhen showed a warm smile: "Come for some tea. Xiaoyun said that you have already eaten, but Zhonghai's food is too sweet. You must not be used to it."

    Raising her soft and old palms, her eyes showed a hint of weathered wisdom and concentration after years of influence, and she took out the frequently used tea set from the coffee table.

    I have long been accustomed to the director¡¯s habit of drinking tea.  The hot water kettle on the desk is always full and starts to boil water again when the switch is turned on.

    Zhou Li opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.  Perhaps it was the warmth and serenity in the old man's smile that made him relax his guard.

    And this kind of pure care and kindness made him not know how to refuse.

    After pondering for a moment, he laughed, nodded and said, "Trouble."

    After skillfully cleaning the teapot and teacup, the old man¡¯s hands repeated this action countless times. His palms were stable and soft, and there was a demure beauty between the skillful movements.

    At this moment, Zhou Li almost felt that the old man sitting in front of him was not a capable person or the director of a 'relevant department'.  Rather, she is a ladylike and quiet old man who has read poetry and books and has grown old under the temper of time.

    Waiting for the kettle to boil water, Qian Lizhen chatted with Zhou Li like an ordinary old man. The topic did not revolve around anything, but more like an old man who still had to work every day, while basking in the sun.  Small talk and nagging with others.

    "It's been a bit chaotic lately because of the 'inhibition power' thing. You know that too."

    When the kettle boils, moist heat spurts out from the mouth of the pot. The hot water is immediately poured into an exquisite purple sand teapot, and a wisp of water vapor with a faint fragrance of tea emerges.

    "I am already an old woman in her eighties, and I still have to lie awake every day because of these things. Today's young people really don't understand the old people's bodies"

    Listen to her sighing about something.  Zhou Li didn't know what to say and could only listen silently.

    Until the end, a cup of clear and slightly green tea was gently placed in front of Zhou Li, and a soft smile appeared on the old man's old face: "Fortunately, I still have you, otherwise I would have to go into battle myself with a cane."

    "Try some tea leaves given to me by some of my students."

    Zhou Li picked up the tea cup and immediately became confused: "Student?"

    "Don't you know? I used to be a teacher. I taught foreign languages ??in Zhonghai during the Republic of China. There were many foreigners at that time. I posted a map of the world in the classroom. The students all liked to look at it after class, and then they asked me  That??What is the name of this place?  "

    The old man recalled the past time and said with nostalgia: "Xiaoyun and the others were all my students. Unfortunately, they are old now and can no longer take care of them. In fact, I still prefer the feeling of being a teacher compared to my current job."

    Seeing a trace of surprise that could not be concealed on Zhou Li's face, she suddenly laughed triumphantly: "Haha, I'm telling you a joke. I'm just an old lady who talks nonsense. Let's drink tea."

    Zhou Li was actually somewhat conflicted. She could neither associate the position of director of the "relevant departments" with her, nor could she regard her as an ordinary retired elderly person.

    I¡¯m really not very good at interpersonal relationships and communication, right?

    No longer thinking about those things, he picked up the tea cup and was about to drink tea, but suddenly he heard the soft and slow voice of the old man.

    "Should you consider working in a 'relevant department'?"

    Qian Lizhen suddenly said: "Although I can't give you a high position at the beginning, I am very optimistic about your future."

    In an instant, Zhou Li almost choked, and after swallowing the still hot tea in embarrassment, he showed a wry smile.

    "UhI suddenly said that, and I don't know how to answer it."

    He said with a headache: "Actually, I still feel more comfortable with the lord."

    Qian Lizhen did not refute, but nodded slightly and sighed: "Sure enough, people nowadays don't like to be bound by the system less and less."

    After a pause, she said: "Since you have this intention, prepare three formal applications. I will hand two copies to the foundation's branch in China, which should be available soon."

    Zhou Li raised his eyes and looked at her in surprise: "Where is Chen Nanchao?"

    "Originally, I just had this intention. But I don't know who deliberately let the news out, and a group of children below believed it to be true. It is really a very helpless thing."

    The old man laughed softly: "You don't need to worry about him. After all, I haven't retired yet, and the director is still me."

    Got her assurance.  For some reason, Zhou Li seemed to believe this promise subconsciously, and then asked seriously: "So. What should I do?"

    Qian Lizhen slowly shook her head: "What you have to do is enough."

    She paused and said with a smile: "I just hope you can think more about what the lord can do. If you work here, you can also do it."

    Like an old man talking, she suddenly came to her senses and laughed at herself: "People like to be wordy when they are old, please forgive me."

    Zhou Li was silent for a moment and said seriously: "I will consider it."

    "That's great." Qian Lizhen laughed. There was no conspiracy or deceit, and she seemed to be just happy. It reminded Zhou Li of the man who didn't know what his current situation was.

    "How is Lu Huaxu's situation?"

    "The condition has stabilized, but the date of surgery may have to be moved forward again."

    "Surgery? Mohs syndrome is not"

    "Yes. Surgery." Qian Lizhen sighed slightly: "Yes, it is a terminal illness, but there are always some ways to delay it. There is no new progress in the research results at Miskatonic University, so there is no way  .The only thing we can do is delay.¡±

    Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, a little disbelieving: "No progress? But I heard that there seem to be cured patients in the United States?"

    "If 70% of the human tissue is replaced with machinery, and finally the cell sequence of the cerebral cortex is scanned and preserved using quantum technology, and finally copied into an artificial human being, it can be considered a cure What new progress is that?"

    Qian Lizhen smiled bitterly: "Dogma College is still Dogma College after all. This method is too cruel for a young man. Besides, is such a healer really the person we want to save?"

    For a moment, Zhou Li fell into a daze.

    He did not expect that the opportunity that Fu Mingsuo struggled so hard and wanted to seize at the risk of his life would be so cruel.  The momentary thought made him feel a little confused. After a long silence, he murmured in a low voice:

    "Is there no other way?"

    "If we just want to continue life at a minimum, there may be a way, but we don't even know what the success rate is."

    Qian Lizhen's smile was slightly bitter, and she pushed the tea cup filled with tea to Zhou Li again: "Forget it, let's drink tea, and chat more with me, an old woman.

    I like being with Nian very muchI chatted with a lot of people, but they didn¡¯t seem to like hearing me talk.  "

    Zhou Li has not yet recovered from the shock in his heart. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "How could it be? It's just a lot of pressure."

    "This is probably something that can't be helped, right?"

    The gloom in the old man's eyes was washed away by a smile, and he became bright and soft again: "I have always thought that I am an old lady, but no one else thinks so. Xiaoyun and the others always say that I don't have the consciousness to be a director.  It¡¯s a pity that at such an old age, I can¡¯t change it even if I want to.¡±

    There is no vigilance or speculation, nor is there any dike or serious atmosphere. Compared with the director of the "relevant department", she is more like an ordinary old man.  But it is those soft and vicissitudes of hands that have the power to mobilize all capable people in China.

    During the slow-paced conversation between the two people, the conversation was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.  In response to Qian Lizhen's promise, Uncle Yun pushed in the door with a serious expression, holding a report in his hand: "Director, I think there is something new to worry about."

    Now that work has begun, Zhou Li also felt that there was no need to stay. When he was about to get up and leave, he heard Uncle Yun's voice: "Zhou Li, this matter is related to you, you can listen to it."

    Zhou Li was stunned for a moment and looked at Uncle Yun doubtfully.

    With a distressed sigh, Uncle Yun handed the document in his hand to the old man: "The thing we were most worried about happened, it was to lure the tiger away from the mountain"

    A solemn atmosphere suddenly spread in the office.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Last time I put it in the chapter review, but some students didn¡¯t see it, so I¡¯ll say it again here.
