The longed-for village system

Chapter 395 It’s just luck
"Snapped!"

The sound of the teacup hitting the ground startled the women, who looked at the old man, wondering why he had lost his composure.

They know this technology is very important to the country, but there's no need to lose their temper and smash the water glass like that! Is Chen Qing's technology really that amazing? Is it more advanced than burn repair ointment and cancer treatment technology?

"Xiao Chen, are you serious? You really developed this technology? You should know the significance of what you're saying." The old man confirmed again and again.

Chen Qing understood the old man's excitement and nodded with a smile, "Of course I know that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left the village to ask you for help in introducing someone. Although the repair ointment is important, it's not enough for me to leave the village."

Listen to this! Is this something an ordinary person would say? A god-level ointment that can heal 80-90% of burns can't even stop him from leaving the village. Truly, a prodigy is a prodigy.

"Great, great! Now, China's technology in this area is not only no longer affected by foreign countries, but we've also overtaken them on a curve. Young Chen, you're amazing, truly incredible!" The old man, in his excitement, directly used the language he had learned from young people online to praise Chen Qing.

The old man had originally planned to invite Chen Qing to a hotel for dinner, but now he could only ask the hotel to deliver the food to his home. The old lady was quite happy about this, as such an important guest should be entertained at home.

The old man's three sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, granddaughters-in-law, and children from each family all arrived at the house, making the room lively with a large group of more than a dozen people entering.

"Dr. Chen Qing, thank you so much for saving my father's life last time. I haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet. I'll toast you a few times later."

"Big brother is right. We really owe a lot to Dr. Chen Qing this time. We must have a few more drinks later. Heroes really do emerge from among the young!"

"Hello Dr. Chen Qing, welcome to our home."

The old man gave each of his two sons a stern look, disapproving of their business practices. However, he knew these were business tactics. Overall, his youngest son was the most like him, having followed in his father's footsteps and working on hybrid rice, just like him. His third daughter-in-law was the same.

"You two shouldn't bring your business dealings home, and Xiao Chen can't drink either." After warning his two sons, the old man introduced Chen Qing to them: "Xiao Chen, these three are my three good-for-nothing sons, Long Ding'an, Long Jiangding, and Long Dinghua."

"Hello to the three of you, and good evening to everyone."

Chen Qing, along with Zhao Xiaogu and the other two women, gave a brief greeting to everyone. Then, the men sat down and continued chatting while waiting for the food to be served.

"I was a little skeptical of the online reports at first! I didn't expect that all three of them really are Little Chen's wives."

"Yes! They even brought them to see Grandpa and Grandma. Do you think they came here to ask Grandpa to help them make a call to their superiors?"

"I think it's possible. After all, they are public figures. They wouldn't dare to do anything reckless without the state's permission or tacit approval!"

"I wonder if I'll be able to take a picture with Brother Chen later. Everyone in my class is a fan of Brother Chen. If they find out that I took a picture with Brother Chen, they'll be so envious."

A few young people near the window watched Chen Qing and the three girls whispering among themselves. They hadn't expected that their parents had called them back so urgently just to see Chen Qing and his wife.

Soon the food was served and everyone took their seats. Because there were too many people, the younger generation and several women did not sit down. Chen Qing also didn't drink much because he had other things to do later, only having a drink with the old man, his wife, and his three sons. Long Ding'an and Long Jiangding tried to persuade him to drink a few times, but the old man refused.

"You two shouldn't try to persuade Xiao Chen to drink. He has very important things to do later, and getting him drunk won't do you any good. It will only cause you more trouble."

He watched the last episode of "Longing for Life" to the very end and knew that Chen Qing could compose poems when drunk, and those were all famous poems that would be remembered for generations. He still felt that he shouldn't discourage everyone.

The sons were all afraid of their father's authority, so since he had said so, they stopped urging him to drink and agreed to have a proper drinking session next time.

After a long night of drinking, Academician Chen, who had flown in from the middle of the month, finally arrived at the old man's door. He hurriedly rang the doorbell, and the old man, glancing at the time, guessed it was about time. When he saw who it was, he stood up.

"Xiao Chen, let's go to the study!"

Seeing the old man's actions, Chen Qing naturally knew that the person who hurriedly entered the room was the one he was looking for. After saying something to the three women beside him, he got up and followed the old man forward.

"Academician Chen, it's been a long time. Let's go into the study and talk."

Suppressing his anxiety, Academician Chen glanced at Chen Qing beside the old man. He recognized Chen Qing, having seen many news reports online about Chen Qing's efforts to save the old man. However, he couldn't understand why the old man would have Chen Qing listen in on such an important secret.

Upon arriving at the old man's study, Academician Chen gave a brief greeting to Chen Qing and then eagerly asked the old man, "Where is the expert, Mr. Long? Where are his other data charts?"

"Xiao Chen, give your information to Academician Chen!" the old man said to Chen Qing quite decisively.

Chen Qing then took out most of the remaining documents from his bag and handed them to Academician Chen, who was looking at him with a horrified expression. "Academician Chen, please take a look at the remaining documents."

"Huh? Oh! Okay!"

Although shocked that Chen Qing was the one who brought out this information, the most important thing right now was to confirm the remaining information. He took the information that Chen Qing handed him and began to carefully read through it.

He couldn't understand much of the data and drawings at first, but that didn't diminish his appreciation for the document.

"Could I meet the expert who developed this document? There's so much of it that I can't understand; it's too advanced. This person is simply a genius in this field—no, a prodigy."

Chen Qing felt somewhat helpless about receiving this evaluation again, and tried to correct him weakly, saying, "He's just an ordinary person, a very ordinary one, at most he's just a bit lucky."

Is he awesome? Chen Qing didn't think he was anything special. Anyone with a system could become like him. He was just luckier than the average person.

However, Academician Chen strongly disagreed with Chen Qing's words and retorted, "You can't say that. This is scientific research, and it can't be accomplished by luck. Just like Dr. Chen Qing, you can't cure all kinds of terminal diseases by luck. Otherwise, these diseases wouldn't be called terminal diseases."
