Mr. Mu, stop bullying Professor Jian.

In the laboratory, Jian Zhinian, dressed in a white coat, stood at the edge, slightly forward, introducing the latest developments of the project to senior management. Once his research breaks through the feasibility of mass production, it will be able to drive the new energy industry, which is currently in the limelight, to overtake others and take the lead.

"Professor Jian, you made a technological breakthrough in this area five years ago. It is entirely possible to produce something with more extensive laboratory conditions. After these years, how long do you think it will take for civilian mass production?"

"I do not know either……"

Many laboratories around the world and even the country are trying to make breakthroughs in this field of research, but no one can guarantee who will be able to achieve mass production faster and be the first to break through commercial or even civilian use.

Scientific exploration and technological breakthroughs all end at one point, but there are many paths to take.

Jian Zhinian couldn’t give a timeline, he could only say: “I will try my best to present the latest results by the end of the year…”

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

It was at this time that Song Simin pushed open the door of the buffer room and walked in apologetically, causing everyone to look at her sideways.

"I'm sorry, I just went out to get some information..."

Originally, it was not her turn to be brought in for this task, but when her superiors saw that K University was her alma mater and she had led projects there before, they gave some respect to the Song family, so they chose her among the personnel selected by the S City Science and Technology Department.

Song Zhengzheng frowned, glared at her seriously, and motioned her to follow him.

With this moment of relief, Zhong Zhengping smiled and said, "Director Song, K University is already at the forefront of the country and even the world in this area. We are also eager to make a breakthrough. Professor Jian has devoted all his energy to this project this year."

Song Simin echoed, "Director Song, haste makes waste. You know this best. Please don't make things difficult for Professor Jian."

As she spoke, she glanced at Jian Zhinian inconspicuously.

The moment Jian Zhinian saw Song Simin, his whole body tensed up, his hands and feet were cold. Song Simin always helped him, but when he saw Song Simin, his first reaction was always guilt and fear.

It’s not so much that he was afraid of seeing Song Simin, but rather that he was afraid of remembering the confusion and fear in his heart that year.

After listening to Song Simin's words, Song Zheng naturally understood and didn't say much.

He whispered to Principal Zhong, "This technological breakthrough involves a wide range of issues. The higher-ups may have to focus their efforts on this technological breakthrough. K University must be prepared."

"clear."

It's not like Zhong Zhengping didn't hear the news, but since Song Zheng said it himself, he nodded seriously and said, "I understand. K University will definitely not bring shame to Director Song."

Song Xiuzhen nodded and said, "I won't emphasize the issue of confidentiality any more, Principal Zhong."

Principal Zhong replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Director Song, the people here receive training and assessment on the Confidentiality Law every year."

After personally inspecting the project, Zhong Zhengping led Song Zhengxiu out. Apart from the scientific research project, he and Song Zhengxiu had some friendship, and they chatted easily and comfortably.

Song Simin deliberately fell behind a few steps, walked beside Jian Zhinian, lowered her head and whispered: "I met your sweetheart on the way here just now."

"W-what?"

Jian Zhinian was so scared that he stopped and looked at Song Simin with horror. Isn’t Mu Qingyuan at home taking care of Nian Nian?

"What's with that expression on your face? I'm not a Yaksha. Are you afraid that I'll eat your sweetheart? And haven't you already told him about me? Why are you so scared?"

What a failure!

After much effort, this guy was even more selfless than Buddha in front of her.

Song Simin couldn't help but sigh.

Jian Zhinian broke out in a cold sweat. Mu Qingyuan only knew that Song Simin had been married to him. As for the details of this marriage and his relationship with Song Simin, he did not have time to explain too much.

"What did you tell him?" Jian Zhinian, who never gossips, couldn't help but want to know.

"I won't tell you!" Song Simin snorted.

Jian Zhinian pursed his lips and didn't dare to ask any further questions.

Song Simin suddenly felt bored and joked, "We just met briefly. Don't worry, I won't say anything unless you let me know. I've also been strictly tested under the Confidentiality Law."

Jian Zhinian was silent again.

As they were talking, the two of them just left the laboratory.

Zhong Zhengping cordially invited Song Zhengxiu to get together, but Song Zhengxiu had official business to attend to and left in a hurry.

Jian Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Song Simin get into the car and leave.

Did you really not say anything?

Jian Zhinian had a headache. If Mu Qingyuan didn't hate Nian Nian, maybe he should try to accept the things he didn't want to face...

"Zhi Nian, let's go to the cafeteria to have a meal, and then come to my office."

There are many students in K University, and many students are on campus during holidays, so the cafeteria is not closed.

Zhong Zhengping has always valued Jian Zhinian. As he is a grandson who respects his elders, he has always treated Jian Zhinian as his own junior and has never been pretentious when interacting with him in private.

Jian Zhinian nodded, and they went to the cafeteria together...

Mu Qingyuan took Nian Nian for a stroll around K University, including the teaching buildings, dormitory areas, library, and even the mandarin duck grove.

Nian Nian has a sweet mouth and keeps calling Mu Qingyuan "Dad" and "Dad". Her little mouth is really good at coaxing people.

When she was tired, she would stretch out her hands and say, "Daddy, hug me!"

With a wave of her small hand, she ordered Mu Qingyuan to go over here. No matter where she went, she felt more at ease than when she was in front of Jian Zhinian.

Feeling that her father was tired, she rubbed his palm distressedly and said, "Dad, Nian Nian is a big child now and can walk by herself. Don't let Dad suffer."

Mu Qingyuan really had no idea what to do with her.

I was a little mean to her and told her not to call me daddy. The little girl's mouth was flat, tears were about to well up in her eyes, and she complained: "Dad, don't be mean to Nian Nian, uncle will feel bad."

When Jian Zhinian was mentioned, Mu Qingyuan suddenly felt short of breath.

She's not fierce, she just keeps calling "Dad" when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, and she looks so happy and cheerful.

Mu Qingyuan felt inexplicably irritated after hearing this. After hearing it so many times, he was really afraid that he would become a character...

"Dad, I'm hungry." Nian Nian lay on Mu Qingyuan's shoulder, looking much more listless.

Mu Qingyuan thought to himself: "You still feel hungry!"

"Then let's go eat. I'll take you to where my uncle usually eats. You can pick whatever you want!"

"Great!"

The two of them went up to the second floor of the cafeteria and missed Jian Zhinian who was going downstairs in the other direction perfectly...

Nian Nian is very interested in anything related to her uncle. She likes to eat chicken legs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, broccoli, and the small yellow croaker that her father has deboned for her!

After dinner, Nian Nian was held in Mu Qingyuan's arms, her eyelids twitching.

Seeing that she was tired, Mu Qingyuan simply found a quiet bench, held her in his arms, and let her take a nap.

He took off his coat and covered Nian Nian with it, then took out his phone and sent a message to Jian Zhinian:

——Are you done with your work?

——Nian Nian and I came to school.

Perhaps because he was busy, Mu Qingyuan did not receive a reply from Jian Zhinian.

The little girl's charging speed was probably fast charging. Half an hour later, Nian Nian woke up and was revived with full blood.

"Dad, when does uncle get off work?"

"It's almost here, wait a minute."

Mu Qingyuan thought about it, and walked with Nian Nian on the tree-lined path of the school. Suddenly he turned his head and looked in one direction——

"Do you want to watch basketball?"

Nian Nian's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes! Nian Nian likes playing basketball."

There are basketball classes in kindergarten. She is very good at dribbling the ball and can even dribble it with both hands.

Mu Qingyuan held Nian Nian's hand and stood outside the basketball court. The past was like the autumn wind, penetrating into his heart. He was actually a little absent-minded...

When the scream suddenly rang out, Mu Qingyuan felt something hitting him in front of him, and he instinctively dodged to the side.

He dodged it, but forgot that there was a Nian Nian standing next to him...
