Chapter 177：

Zhao Depei couldn't figure it out. This morning, the group of them didn't want to fight for international scientific research rights. Why did they gather in his office?

No matter what these Buddhas came here, Zhao Depei had to invite these national treasures in.

As soon as this group of people came in, the originally spacious principal's room became cramped.

Zhao Depei deliberately poured water for everyone, but there was no place to put the water even if it was poured.

He couldn't help but look at Chen An's Gang, this Xiao Chen gave him a hint.

At that time, Zhao Depei glanced at the Chen Angang from time to time and fell into Tian Lao's eyes. Tian Lao showed a smile on his face, "Xiao Zhao, are you busy lately?"

"As usual, it is the issue of the third party entrusted by the Huaqing Award Scientific Research Fund. This Li Zheng has been employed for more than a year, and I can find him within a few days. No, this matter is on my head again. "Although Zhao Depei said that, the smile on his face couldn't hide anything.

The Huaqing Award has brought his prestige as the principal to an unprecedented new height. He is happy to worry about everything about the Huaqing Award.

Old Tian and Old Yang glanced at each other, and the smile in their eyes became more obvious.

"Xiao Zhao, since you took the initiative to mention Li Zheng, let's just say it. You can contact Professor Li now. We want to confirm with him personally about the Human Genome Project."

Zhao Depei was taken aback. What happened to the Human Genome Project? When he retelled Li Zheng's words to Lao Yang last time, Lao Yang still cursed, "A child with a yellow mouth, I don't know the depth."

How long did it take to "check again"?

Xu was that Zhao Depei's suspicious gaze was too obvious, and the old Yang could not help showing a hint of shame on his face, and he stared back. On weekdays, this Xiao Zhao is not quite winking, why is he not clever at this time.

Tian Lao naturally heard what Yang said that day. He smiled and said: "Lao Yang can't save face. If you can get in touch with Li Zheng, let us say something to him. He is a great scholar. He wins glory for the country and strives for the glory of China!"

Zhao Depei was shocked when he heard this. Tian Lao's words were already extremely high. He guessed that Li Zheng must have done something, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big change in the attitude of these domestic scientists who are above the top.

"It should be reachable. He gave me the number of Professor Ruiz's laboratory last time." Zhao Depei said.

"Professor Ruiz? Professor Ruiz, lifetime honorary professor of New York University, inventor of Dointinib, and the first person with lung cancer?" Old Yang couldn't help exclaiming.

"Yes...Is it." Zhao Depei said uncertainly. He didn't know that Professor Ruiz in Li Zheng's mouth still had such a big series of titles. He remembered the name of Professor Watson he heard on the phone that day. Voice, he thought, there shouldn't be two Ruiz like this in New York.

It took a long time for Old Yang’s rapid breathing to calm down. He will not forget the trip to the United States twenty years ago. He and his teacher stood outside the New York University lecture hall for two full hours, just to listen to it completely. The class of Professor Ruiz.

However, after twenty years, the name Ruiz would appear in his world again in this way.

"Then you hurry up!" Old Yang couldn't help urging.

Zhao Depei nodded and picked up the microphone under the gaze of everyone's expectations.

One second, two seconds...

"You call it now!" Seeing that Zhao Depei hadn't moved for a long time, even the good-tempered Old Man Tian couldn't help but urge.

Zhao Depei gave a dry cough, "Teachers, can you stay a little bit behind? I get nervous and have difficulty breathing when I get older."

Everyone was taken aback, heard the words and looked around, only to realize that these people actually surrounded Zhao Depei's desk sturdyly, and they were still trying their best to lean forward, wishing to stick directly to the microphone.

"Well, you beat you, don't care about us." Tian Lao blushed and waved his hand.

Everyone stepped back in embarrassment, watching their noses and noses, indicating that the person who was ashamed just now is definitely not himself.

The "dudu" call was transferred several times and finally connected to Ruiz Lab in New York.

A series of fluent English came from the other end of the phone, and Zhao Depei also said in English: "I'm looking for Li Zheng, Professor Li."

"Professor Li? Are you?"

"I am the president of Huaqing University and Li Zheng's supervisor." Zhao Depei didn't know why when he said this, there was an unfounded guilty conscience in his heart, and he was clearly telling the truth.

"Professor Li's boss?" There was a commotion on the other end of the phone, and everyone couldn't help leaning forward again, raising their ears to listen to the reaction on the other end of the phone.

The acoustics of telephones in the 1980s were exceptionally "excellent." Everyone could clearly hear someone on the other end of the phone talking quickly in English. After about thirty seconds, the talent on the other end of the phone spoke again: "Professor Li and Ruiz The professor has finished his laboratory work five days ago and is stationed in a hospital for clinical medicine. I can provide you with the phone number of the state hospital."

After the foreigner spoke a paragraph in English, he repeated it again with difficulty in Chinese. After that, he said in a respectful tone: "I am one of Professor Li's research assistants. I have learned Chinese in the past few months. Maybe it is not good enough. I hope you understand."

He said stumblingly, but he clearly expressed his meaning.

He is a PhD in biology from New York University and served as Li Zheng's research assistant in this experimental project. He learned Chinese temporarily for the sake of Professor Li Zheng.

Zhao Depei's pride rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Chinese is very good, and your sincerity is also very good. I am very fortunate that Li Zheng has an assistant like you." Zhao Depei unconsciously brought a touch of officialdom.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little excited when he heard the words. They repeatedly said that he was only Professor Li’s assistant, and it was his honor to participate in this project. Obviously, the compliments made by the identity of the boss Li Zheng came to him. Said it has weight.

Zhao Depei and everyone present couldn’t tell what they felt. The National Talent Plan required foreign high-educated talents in the first two days. Huaguo offered excellent conditions. Huaqing and Yanda were almost sales invitations. PhD students, even master students from prestigious foreign universities, lose interest when they hear about Huaqing Yan University.

And now, a New York University doctoral student actually went to learn Chinese specifically to cooperate with Li Zheng's work. Judging from the stumbled but clearly expressed Chinese level of this PhD student, he has done a great job. After all, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages ​​to learn in the world, and he only learned it for a few months.

Zhao Depei didn't know what his mentality was, and couldn't help asking, "Since you and Li Zheng cooperate so well, if Li Zheng returns to China, are you interested in coming together?"

The foreigner on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment, and then he spoke without hesitation: "If Professor Li is willing to let me join his private team, I will naturally!"

"The principal, can you be the master for Professor Li? Or can you say something good for me? I heard that Chinese people like American appliances? I came to China, but my parents are still in the United States. If you need it, I can ask them to bring you American Electric at any time."

This kind of straightforward bribery came to everyone's ears from the phone speakers.

Zhao Depei took a deep breath and suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, "I will bring your sincerity." The assistant of Li Zheng's researcher is a doctoral student at New York University. Then who is Li Zheng's researcher?

Zhao Depei contacted Li Zheng through a phone call from the researcher's assistant.

"Sorry, principal, I forgot to inform you that I am no longer in the laboratory. Why, are you looking for me now, what's the matter?" Li Zheng's slightly apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhao Depei took a deep breath. He realized that after the phone call just now, he actually felt a sense of burden when talking to Li Zheng, a sense of burden just like talking to a respected senior like Mr. He Tian.

"Li Zheng, Mr. Tian and the others want to talk to you on the phone."

"Old Tian?"

"Tian Xiangjun?" In Zhao Depei's mouth, Tian Lao, Li Zheng's first reaction is this, a figure of the same age as Tong Lao. Although this biological achievement is far from that of Tong Lao, he and Tong Lao It is an excellent partner.

The two are talented and the other is diligent. If Tong Lao is the architect of modern biology in China, then Tian Lao is the one who fills the framework of biology.

"I didn't expect our Professor Li to know my name. It's an honor." Tian Laozhong's angry voice sounded.

Zhao Depei handed the phone to Tian Xiangjun.

Li Zheng on the other end of the phone was taken aback, is Tian Lao actually by the phone? He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, it is not so polite to call the senior's name directly.

"Hello Tian, ​​I have learned your name in biology textbooks more than once, and you have always been my role model." Good words, Li Zheng will still say.

"Professor Li, I won't go around with you anymore. The seat of the Chinese Human Genome Project you mentioned is true?" When Tian Lao said this, his voice was still a little trembling.

A human project that claims to be comparable to the mankind’s moon landing project and the Manhattan atomic bomb project. If Chinese scientists could participate in such a project, he would close his eyes and be content.

All the Chinese biologists in the room held their breath, waiting for Li Zheng's answer on the phone.

Li Zheng was silent for nearly a minute.

Everyone only felt that this minute had never been so long, and their hearts seemed to be in midair.

"Really, but it may be a little different from your understanding."

Li Zheng hesitated and told the truth: "My laboratory can participate in the Human Genome Project, I am Chinese, and my laboratory is also Chinese, so Chinese scientists can participate in this experiment, but I cannot guarantee that Chinese scientists Can participate in it in the name of the Chinese National Project."

"After all, the former is a matter of science and the latter is a matter of politics. Moreover, the Human Genome Project has invested a lot of money. Does the country have this determination?"
