Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1703
Chapter 1703: Unbearable Lightness of Life
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The host of the spring festival gala was very respectful towards the gentle and refined Ishihara Baisan in a decent suit.
“This Mr. Ishihara Baisan is an internationally renowned biomedical scientist. He has just made a major breakthrough in biological genetic engineering, allowing the dream of human genetic medicine to move from the theoretical deduction of scientists to the practical testing stage in the laboratory, thus allowing various difficult and complicated diseases to have the possibility of being cured. Let’s give Mr. Ishihara Baisan a round of applause to say a few words to everyone!”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened in shock.
She was no stranger to the name Ishihara Baisan.
In the opposite world, Ishihara Baisan was a Japanese expert in high-energy magnetic fields. He had once been a doctoral student with Gu Xiangwen, but his scientific research ability was not as strong as Gu Xiangwen’s. Gu Xiangwen had called him “Trash! You’re not qualified to compare your progress with mine.” He had been scolded to the point of committing seppuku.
Eh, something is not right.
In the other world, Ishihara Baisan was clearly a physicist who studied high-energy magnetic field. How did he become the Chief Scientist of the United Nations Population Fund here, and also a biomedical scientist?
Could it be that he did not study high-energy physics to study magnetic fields?
Gu Nianzhi’s long eyebrows furrowed as she watched Ishihara Baisan, who was over 50 years old, on the television. She muttered, “Did I hear correctly? He’s a biomedical scientist?”
Huo Shaoheng’s attention was also drawn to Ishihara Baisan.
He had investigated the entire Ishihara Corporation in the opposite world, and his investigation of Ishihara Baisan was of the utmost importance.
He also remembered very clearly that Ishihara Baisan was a high-energy physicist who studied magnetic fields.
However, he quickly figured it out.
This Ishihara Baisan was the counterpart of Ishihara Baisan in that parallel world.
This counterpart was only genetically identical but their identities, positions, and occupations were not necessarily the same.
Gu Nianzhi had also thought of this at that moment.
For example, Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang from the other world had completely different backgrounds and positions from Zhao Liangze and Bai Shuang from this world.
Perhaps for some reason, this Ishihara Baisan did not conduct high-energy magnetic field research, but engaged in biomedical research instead.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng looked at each other, then looked away to continue watching television.
On the television, the elegant-looking Ishihara Baisan was speaking in Japanese.
Gu Nianzhi’s Japanese was very ordinary, but Huo Shaoheng knew Japanese.
However, as the television had Chinese subtitles, there was no need for Huo Shaoheng to translate.
“Hello, China viewers. I’m Ishihara Baisan. I’m very happy to be able to come to your country during the Spring Festival and celebrate this holiday with you.”
He held the microphone with a faint smile on his face. His voice was deep and powerful, “This young lady was exaggerating when she praised me for my great achievements just now. The things I’ve done are really limited. There’s a very excellent biomedical expert in your country. More than ten years ago, not only did she come up with the concept of ‘gene editing’, but she also realized gene therapy.”
“This person is the pioneer of genetic medicine. Her name is Qin Yaoguang. Ms. Qin Yaoguang is an internationally renowned neurosurgeon and one of the most important scholars in biogenetic engineering.”
After a pause, Ishihara Baisan said regretfully, “I came to your country to visit her, but unfortunately…”
He did not say why it was a pity, but his words seemed to imply that he wanted to fight for justice for Qin Yaoguang.
Gu Nianzhi’s face darkened as she clenched her fists tightly.
“Dad, do you know this Ishihara Baisan?”Gu Nianzhi recalled that in the other world, although Ishihara Baisan was more than ten years older than Gu Xiangwen, the two of them were PHD students.
She wondered if in this world, Ishihara Baisan and Lu Jin, also known as Gu Xiangwen, were classmates.
Lu Jin stood up from the sofa and said seriously, “I don’t know him. I’ve never heard of him before.” He stood up and left the living room, heading to the kitchen.
Gu Nianzhi’s gaze followed Lu Jin’s back until she couldn’t see him anymore. She asked Huo Shaoheng in a low voice, “What do you think Ishihara Baisan means by mentioning Qin Yaoguang now? Are they working together?”
“It’s hard to say.”Huo Shaoheng muttered, “If they really are working together, he’s too bold to mention Qin Yaoguang at the Spring Festival Gala, which has the highest viewership ratings in the country. Is he afraid that others won’t know that they’re related?”
“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that this person has an academic relationship with Qin Yaoguang to begin with. As for whether there’s any other relationship, that depends on the evidence.”
Huo Shaoheng cautiously raised his own point of view. He did not let the situation of Ishihara Baisan affect his judgment.
Gu Nianzhi could not explain how she felt.
First of all, this Ishihara Baisan was not studying high-energy magnetic field. He was studying biomedical science, which was already very different from the situation on the other side.
Moreover, he did not seem to be Lu Jin’s classmate, so it was unlikely that he would commit hara-kiri suicide because of his anger.
Gu Nianzhi sighed regretfully.
Lu Jin came back from the kitchen with a jasper fruit bowl. There were bright saintly virgin fruits in it. The yellow, peeled ivory glow, the tender lychee meat, and a few egg fruits were placed in front of Gu Nianzhi. He smiled and said, “Come, eat some fruit. Don’t be hungry.”
Gu Nianzhi had just finished her New Year’s Eve dinner. She couldn’t be more full now.
However, these fruits were all her favorites. Lu Jin washed them clean and placed them in front of her. She felt guilty if she didn’t eat them.
She smiled and picked up a small saintly virgin fruit. “Dad, are you going to feed the piglets?”
“If you want to be a piglet, I’ll be a piglet dad.” Lu Jin was in a good mood. He picked up a toothpick and stuck a piece of lychee meat into Gu Nianzhi’s mouth. “Eat some lychee. Don’t eat too much.”
“Okay, thank you, dad.”Gu Nianzhi held the lychee in her mouth and mumbled. She also stuck a piece of Holy Maiden fruit with her toothpick and brought it to Lu Jin’s mouth. “Dad, Holy Maiden fruit is the king of fruits. Please eat more.”
“Good boy.” Lu Jin swallowed the Holy Maiden fruit in one gulp, just like eating a ginseng fruit.
Huo Shaoheng saw the father and daughter feeding each other fruit as if there was no one else around. He couldn’t help feeling an itch in his throat and coughed lightly.
Gu Nianzhi heard him and her ears twitched, but she didn’t turn around.
Lu Jin was here. How would she dare feed Huo Shaoheng?
Lu Jin would definitely cut Huo Shaoheng into pieces if he saw this.
Lu Jin heard it too. He was even happier when he saw Gu Nianzhi ignored Huo Shaoheng. He nagged, “Nianzhi, you have to remember to eat more fruits in the future, especially saintly virgin fruit. You also said that it’s the king of fruits. Its nutrients and anti-aging ingredients are the highest.”
“Okay!” Gu Nianzhi smiled and ate the last saintly virgin fruit.
“Also, if you’re not feeling well, don’t go to the hospital for a check-up.” Lu Jin paused, “Dad left you a set of medical equipment. You can check it yourself. Your body is very healthy, so you won’t get any random diseases. If you only have a fever and a headache, you don’t have to go to the hospital to avoid being harmed by those quack doctors.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
Why did these words sound more and more strange?
She quickly said, “Dad, with you around, of course I don’t need to go to the hospital for a check-up. What do you mean by that? Are you going to leave me alone in the future?”
Lu Jin laughed and said, “How can that be? I was just taking precautions.”
He glanced at Huo Shaoheng and felt that he was really an eyesore here. However, seeing that he could still protect Gu Nianzhi, he didn’t ask him to leave.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, “You’ve finished all the fruits? Is there any more?”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. She stood up and said, “I’m going to wash some fruits. Dad, Wait for me, I’ll wash the fruits for you.”
“Okay.” Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction. “Dad will wait for your fruits.”
Gu Nianzhi took the jade fruit bowl and walked to the kitchen.
Huo Shaoheng stood up calmly and said, “Uncle Lu, I’ll go wash the fruit for Nianzhi.”
Lu Jin looked at him from head to toe with a straight face. After a while, he snorted and raised his hand. “Go ahead, but I’m warning you, don’t get any ideas. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret messing with my girl.”
Huo Shaoheng sighed and said sincerely, “Uncle Lu, I really like Nianzhi. Don’t worry, I’m here, Nianzhi’s here.”
Lu Jin was moved by his words.
He had done so many things because he hoped that Gu Nianzhi would be able to live in peace in this world, undisturbed, like an ordinary person.
Just like Mr. Peter had promised, with him, Gu Nianzhi would be here.
It was such a pity. If only there was only one Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi was destined not to belong to this world.
Lu Jin looked at Huo Shaoheng almost sympathetically. He thought to himself that this person was the KGB, so even if Nianzhi suddenly disappeared from his life in the future, he should be able to bear such a loss. The Committee of State Security (KGB) , the Committee of State Security (KGB) , and the Committee of State Security (KGB) .
