Son of the Stars

Chapter 89 Working Lunch
I had lunch with an academician, and I had a working meal with a highly prestigious agricultural academician who serves on the academic committee and is responsible for organizing and managing the daily discussions of the academic committee.

It's a ghost if you can eat well.

Academician Yuan has a very strong taste in his meals, and he likes salty and spicy food.In order to ensure the health of the agricultural academician who is in his 60s and almost [-], the Society of Health Doctors of the United Medical Association sent two health doctors to watch Yuan Yuan's daily life.But they couldn't beat Academician Yuan, and they couldn't convince this stubborn old farmer at the same time.

When the old man is angry, he not only curses, but also sulks—the kind of sulk that can raise his blood pressure by tens of millimeters of mercury.

As a result, the requirements of health doctors dropped again and again.From the beginning of controlling salt and oil, avoiding the intake of nitrite-rich foods such as bacon, step by step back to the level of "you can eat everything, but pay attention to the amount, don't drink alcohol...".

Lu Chen looked at a table of oily and red dishes, smelled the pungent aroma and spicy taste, and his expression was very nervous.As a clinician, especially as a doctor of rheumatology and immunology, he really doesn't like peppers.

Many rheumatism patients come to the hospital every year, and then claim that they have eaten a lot of peppers, but their rheumatism has not improved at all.

"Chili is so hot, I sweat after eating it—isn't this good for rheumatism?"

Asking a doctor of rheumatology and immunology to eat dishes full of peppers is equivalent to asking an infection doctor to eat fresh oysters on the beach, and asking a doctor of bone and joint who cannot ski to practice skiing on an advanced course full of people. Ask the ophthalmologist to directly watch the wood processing, and the liver doctor to fight the alcohol consumption.

This was a double torture of body and mind, and the torture suffered by Lu Chen went further than these peers.

"Little Lu..." Picking up a large piece of fish head meat mixed with chili peppers with chopsticks, Academician Yuan suddenly asked, "Is your teacher's social relationship complicated? There should be quite a few of them who seem to be quite rich." People often come to see him, right?”

Lu Chen took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "It is true that many well-dressed people often come to our institute, but they are basically patients. The social relationship is complicated... I have no idea."

It is not uncommon for experts engaged in scientific research to have contacts with relatively wealthy corporate managers.After all, there must be a way for research results to be transformed, and not everyone can apply for enough academic committee funding for all of their research projects.But after listening to the discussion just now, Lu Chen didn't dare to treat this question as a small talk that didn't require much attention.

"When the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau recommended you to form a research team, it submitted your files to us." Academician Yuan said vaguely while pulling rice with chili steak, "You don't have parents, Mu Zhiran's Parents work in East Asia, and their positions are quite important. Tang Qinglong’s daughter collapsed and died at the age of 17, and after Yang Weimin’s elder brother died in the line of duty, his parents also passed away one after another... We all know this.”

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Chen, who was already drenched in sweat, and then continued, "After Yang Weimin and his wife got married, his father-in-law provided Yang Weimin with a lot of help—from financial to personal connections. But Yang Weimin himself did not choose to accept the help of his father-in-law and work in the research and development department of Dongsheng Pharmaceutical. He has always worked in the Affiliated Hospital of Central University, and occasionally undertakes some teaching work."

"Although Yang Weimin did not accept his father-in-law's help, their relationship is quite harmonious." Academician Yuan ate two mouthfuls of dried garlic mixed with garlic, and said with his hand, "but just half a year ago, his father-in-law was diagnosed with Suffered from small cell lung cancer. I don’t know much about your staging and classification, but the General Bureau of Investigation estimates that he has about one and a half years to live.”

Holding the rough porcelain bowl, the old farmer stopped pulling rice into his mouth.Academician Yuan held the rice bowl in his left hand. Although his head was still lowered to the table, his eyes had already shot towards Lu Chen along his wrinkled and oily upper eyelids.

It was like an old farmer plowing in the field and found a little wild boar trying to get close to the field.

"According to the current stepped inheritance tax rate, Yang Weimin's father-in-law's inheritance needs to pay about 72% of the inheritance tax." Academician Yuan's eyes seemed to hook Lu Chen's neck with two scythes, "If the brain is regarded as a living person, he It is absolutely possible to take out the brain of my father-in-law so that he can avoid being considered dead."

Lu Chen didn't dare to vent his anger, and Mu Zhiran who was beside him also kept silent.They have never thought about this kind of problem, and it is even less likely to think about it.

But Yuan Siping's assumption made them think for the first time whether Yang Weimin's actions had a deeper "conspiracy".

This feeling is actually very uncomfortable, especially for Lu Chen.Suspicion of a teacher who was closely related to him made him feel that he might be a little too despicable at first, and then he developed a strange resentment towards Yang Weimin that "you are such a person".

After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Chen suddenly frowned under the impact of the aroma of tea oil and chili.

"My understanding of Brother Yang may not be as good as yours. After all, I have no way to see his information." Lu Chen said to Yuan Siping, "However, this incident itself is an absolute emergency. Whether it is Brother Yang or him It is impossible for a rich father-in-law to predict in advance that there will be a group of heavily armed cultists invading. It is even more impossible to foresee that Watanabe will be beaten to death physically and his brain will survive."

"I can't say that Brother Yang doesn't have the idea of ​​'bypassing inheritance tax'. After all, having a certain idea is not a crime." Lu Chen picked up his chopsticks, added a piece of taro that didn't look very spicy, and said while eating. , "But Brother Yang didn't have a deeper attempt when he rescued Watanabe and NO.14."

"Very good." Academician Yuan Siping's expression didn't change much, then he turned his head and asked Mu Zhiran, "I heard that Xiao Tang's work is not going well recently?"

"Ah, no?" Mu Zhiran was taken aback by the sudden question, and then she replied, "Teacher Tang...it's very good when he guides me and Giuseppe to do calculations."

"His research project has not made any progress." Academician Yuan said casually, "Ever since you entered the North American Research Center, he has been studying the problem of stratification."

Mu Zhiran nodded, "This is an important theoretical part of proving the theory of quantum potential energy syndrome—we must figure out whether only humans suffer from quantum potential energy syndrome. If so, why. If not...then we Do you need to be wary of other creatures?"

"But there is no progress." Academician Yuan Siping motioned to Mu Zhiran to start eating, "Where is Xiao Tang now? What are your ideas?"

"The current thinking is that some kind of radiation caused quantum release syndrome - the evidence is a piece of space station glass that has served in a specific orbit, and the radiation traces on the glass are more than 40% less than calculated." Mu Zhiran replied, " But... this logic is a bit inconsistent with microwave induction now."

　There is another update today, but it may be later...
