Chapter 369 The Law of Eggs
Disease learning lies in respecting the teacher, the kindness of a wise teacher is more important than the world, and more important than parents.

Zuo Zi looked a little surprised, and said to the person at the door, "Apprentice, what are you doing here?"

The person at the door was no stranger to Yu Fan and the others, and they had actually met them in the dining car just now.

It was the bespectacled man in his forties—Lai Bushuang!

What's happening here?Is Lai Bushuang Zuo Zircon's apprentice?In fact, it is reasonable to think about it. Just now Lai Bushuang said that he is also a scientific research worker in the biopharmaceutical industry.He and Zuo Zi are in the same business, so there is nothing wrong with being a master and apprentice.

However, what surprised Yu Fan and the others was that Zuo Zircon never mentioned this matter to Yu Fan and the others from the beginning to the end, which surprised them very much.And they are obviously masters and apprentices, why don't they sit together when they buy tickets?Do you want to live in two compartments separately?Yu Fan faintly felt that things were getting more and more wrong, and Zuo Zi had more and more secrets.

But no matter how surprised they were, the three of Yu Fan still pretended to be nonchalant, pretending that they didn't know Zuo Zircon.

Lai Bushuang was not as cautious as the horse dance just now, he entered directly in front of the three of Yu Fan and closed the car door, as if he didn't mind the existence of the three of Yu Fan at all.

Lai Bushuang said to Zuo Zircon: "Teacher, you are so stubborn, why do you have to sit on a soft sleeper? Look at how aggrieved you are being squeezed into such a small room. If we take a plane or train, maybe it is already too late. At once……"

"You're still too young," Zuo Zircon interrupted Lai Bushuang, "Everything is fast, fast, fast. Slow, sometimes it will make you see different scenery."

Lai Bushuang was silent for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Teacher, just now I saw the representative of that angel investment company come to you?"

Zuo Zircon: "Yes, what? You know him?"

Lai Bushuang shook his head and denied: "No, I don't actually know him either. He knows me. He came to my car last night to talk to me about cooperation."

Zuo Zircon raised his voice and said a little excitedly, "Cooperation? What cooperation?"

Lai Bushuang: "He wants to buy our current research and development data, and then apply for a patent in advance, so that once our research and development is successful, they will be able to profit immediately."

Zuo Zi sneered and said, "Hmph, a bunch of lackeys who are all about money. You agreed?"

Lai Bushuang: "Of course I didn't agree. This is the result of your scientific research for so many years, teacher. How could I agree? And I know, teacher, you hate these people the most."

Zuo Zircon: "Hmph, it's good to know." Zuo Zircon still looked very angry.

Lai Bushuang said in a low voice: "Teacher, in fact, this time when we go to XA City, you have realized something in your heart, right?"

Zuo Zircon didn't answer.

Lai Bushuang: "No matter what kind of result it is, it is actually good for the application of this scientific research technology."

Zuo Zircon said impatiently, "I know."

Lai Bushuang: "Teacher, there are actually some things I have never wanted to say, but I have to say them again. The times are changing, and so is scientific research. Some old methods are actually outdated. If we use new methods, our efficiency will increase." get higher."

Zuo Zircon: "Whether it's the old method or the new method, we must not forget our roots in our research. Otherwise, it will be nothing."

Lai Bushuang looked very helpless, he got up slowly and was about to leave, he said respectfully: "Disciple, remember the teacher's teaching." This Lai Bushuang was very proud when he was in the dining car just now, showing off his honor unabashedly , but in front of Zuo Zircon, he seemed very humble.

Suddenly, Zuo Zi remembered something and he turned around and asked, "Teacher, by the way, how did that angel investor, Ma Wu, know about our itinerary? Did you tell him?"

Zuo Zircon: "Of course not, I thought you revealed it to them."

Lai Bushuang patted his chest and said: "I swear to God, I have always kept everything about us strictly confidential. If I leak the slightest word, I will die suddenly!" Lai Bushuang swore a poisonous oath.

Zuo Zircon: "I believe in you. Well, you can leave quickly, have you forgotten our 'egg rule'?"

Lai Bushuang agreed: "Okay, I'll leave right away, teacher, take care too, I always feel a little ominous."

After speaking, Lai Bushuang opened the door and left.

Yu Fan, Chen Xingyang, and Guo Na who were next to him already had a lot of question marks in their hearts. As soon as Lai Bushuang left, they couldn't wait to ask Zuo Zircon to find out the answer.

Chen Xingyang: "Professor Zuo, you and this Lai Bushuang are in a master-student relationship? Since you are so familiar, why do you pretend that you don't know each other and sit in different boxes separately? Isn't it better to take care of each other when sitting together? Yes, what exactly is the egg rule you mentioned just now?" Chen Xingyang asked a lot of questions in one breath, and it seemed that he was quite uncomfortable.

Zuo Zircon unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup, poured some boiling water into it, and explained calmly: "Lai Bushuang is indeed my apprentice, my only apprentice, and he is very good. He has been with him for almost 20 years. He has been following me since he graduated from graduate school, and the scientific research projects we have done are the same."

Zuo Zircon paused, gently blowing the hot air in the thermos with his mouth, and said, "You ask why we don't sit together? In fact, the answer is your last question, which is our - egg rule!"

"Egg rule?" Guo Na asked curiously.

Zuo Zircon: "Those of us who do cutting-edge scientific research are most taboo to put all eggs in one basket, especially those who have important data information in hand. In order to avoid accidents for those who have important data Lost, we will put our eggs in different baskets, that is to say, these important people cannot be too close! For example, the core formula of the world-famous Coca-Cola Company is in the hands of three people, and these three Individuals are absolutely not allowed to sit on the same plane, because they are afraid that after the plane crashes, the entire formula will be lost. The same is true for some time-honored pharmaceutical formulas in our country.”

Chen Xingyang: "So you and Lai Bushuang want to live separately? Is it because you are worried that the two of you will encounter an accident together and the data will be wiped out?"

Zuo Zircon nodded: "Exactly. There are too many people who miss us. We must keep an eye on it."

Yu Fan asked again: "Then why did he come to you specifically to expose it? Isn't this violating your egg rule?"

Zuo Zircon: "I don't know either. It's really abnormal for him to do this. Maybe he happened to see that man called Ma Tiao coming to me, and he was worried that I might be in trouble. Come and have a look..."

Zuo Zi took a sip of tea, and then added: "Or maybe, it's because I feel guilty..."

　The master-student relationship is not about worshiping the guru, but about providing an opportunity to free ourselves from our delusional perception of reality. - Cyclophosphine
