The all-round academic master's girlfriend

Chapter 407 A Brief Separation

The trip to the capital began with a mix of haste and the melancholy of parting.

After arriving in Beijing, Tang Yuze and Xia Jinxi had a brief but heartwarming reunion with Tang Liu and Lin Hui, who had arrived earlier, in a quiet and secure family resettlement area.

The new home is spacious, bright, and fully equipped, far superior to their small apartment in S City, and worlds apart from their rented room in C City.

But the air was filled with a sense of unfamiliarity as a newcomer and anxieties about the future.

There's no place like home, no matter how good it is.

"You brat, once you get there, be sure to follow the leader's instructions, take care of your health, eat on time, and don't ruin your health by focusing too much on research."

Lin Hui held Tang Yuze's hand, giving him repeated instructions as if her son wasn't going to do scientific research, but rather to go on an expedition.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Tang Yuze agreed to all of them.

Tang Liu patted his son on the shoulder, his words few but weighty.

"Xiaoxi and us are at home, so you don't need to worry."

"Work hard and contribute to the country, but don't forget to come back soon."

He lowered his voice for the last sentence, his gaze sweeping over Xia Jinxi, who stood obediently beside him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Brother, you can do it! Mom and Dad are waiting for you!"

Xia Jinxi nodded vigorously, suppressing the sadness of parting, and showed a bright smile.

After only one day of rest and adjustment, at dawn the next day, Tang Yuze, accompanied by Dean Huang Yu and others, bid farewell to his family and drove away from the bustling city center of Beijing in a specially modified off-road vehicle.

Instead of heading towards renowned research institutes, the convoy traveled along the winding mountain road, heading deep into the rolling mountains on the outskirts of Beijing.

The view outside the window gradually changed from the urban forest to the mountains, with fewer and fewer people around, but the air became fresher and fresher, with the unique comfort of the mountains and forests.

After passing through several checkpoints with multiple sentry posts and requiring multiple identity verifications to pass, the convoy finally entered a seemingly ordinary tunnel.

At the end of the tunnel, a vast, modern complex of buildings built along the mountainside suddenly appeared before us.

The silver-gray building blends almost seamlessly with the mountain rocks, exuding a low-key and mysterious aura. This is the base of the Huaxia Bioengineering Research Institute, specifically used for top-secret projects.

Inside the base, the lights were on, creating a futuristic and technological atmosphere.

Meanwhile, in a large conference room and briefing room in the core area, the atmosphere was solemn yet full of anticipation.

About thirty carefully selected researchers who participated in the final analysis of the human genome project have gathered together.

Among them are elderly academicians with gray hair, middle-aged experts who are already leaders in their respective fields and in their prime, and a few sharp-eyed and energetic young talents.

Without exception, they are all top figures in the field of life sciences in China.

Everyone already knew that Dean Huang Yu had personally brought back a groundbreaking document from Province C, known as the complete expression formula for the human genome.

In the past two days, various speculations about this formula and the internal turmoil it has caused have already spread within a very small circle.

At this moment, everyone was whispering and discussing among themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the entrance of the conference room.

"According to Elder Lian, that formula is like a book written in the heavens, yet it is also incredibly ingenious!"

"I wonder which reclusive master created this? Could it be someone who has returned from overseas?"

"I don't think so. Perhaps it's a senior professor in China who has been working in this field for decades and is now making a breakthrough."

"For Dean Huang to attach such importance to this person and personally go to invite him, this person must be of extremely high status."

Almost everyone subconsciously assumed that someone who could write such a high-level formula must be a highly respected senior, perhaps even more senior than Dean Huang Yu.

They had already sketched in their minds an image of an old man in a Zhongshan suit, with white hair and eyes as deep as the starry sky.

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

Dean Huang Yu walked in first, followed by several professors, including Lian Wenshi and Xin Ziang, who had gone to City C with him.

Among these professors, under the watchful eyes of everyone, stood a young man dressed in simple casual clothes, with a youthful face yet exceptionally calm and upright posture.

The meeting room fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

All eyes, like spotlights, were focused on Tang Yuze.

Surprise, doubt, and even a hint of absurdity at being mocked flashed across the faces of every senior researcher.

What's happening here?

Why did Dean Huang bring a student in here? Did we come to the wrong place?

Dean Huang Yu took in everyone's reactions, his face displaying a mixture of pride and solemnity. He walked to the front of the conference room, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

His voice was steady and powerful, instantly silencing all the whispers.

"Let me formally introduce you to the man beside me, who is the sole author of the groundbreaking paper we obtained, 'The Deciphering of the Human Genome Sequence,' and the creator of the complete human genome expression formula..."

Huang Yu turned to the side, fully exposing Tang Yuze to everyone, and then, in a clear and unquestionable tone, said loudly:

He paused, then uttered the name that left everyone speechless, word by word:

"Comrade Tang Yuze!"

boom!

Despite having been somewhat prepared, the truth being revealed so bluntly still felt like a silent thunderclap in the conference room!

"what?!"

"Him? How is that possible!"

"How old is he? Is he even twenty?"

"My God...this...this..."

Exclamations and gasps of surprise rose and fell.

Even the professors who were sitting as still as mountains couldn't help but stand up, holding their glasses, as if they wanted to see through Tang Yuze inside and out.

The younger researchers were even more dumbfounded, feeling that their decades of understanding had been overturned.

"After research and decision by higher authorities, and approval by the highest level."

"We hereby formally appoint Comrade Tang Yuze as the leader of the Human Genome Project Team for the Final Analysis!"

Huang Yu didn't give them much time to process the shock. He immediately announced another, more important decision, his tone resolute.

His gaze was sharp as he swept across the entire room, his voice carrying an unprecedented air of authority.

"From this day forward, Tang Yuze will be in full charge of all scientific research work for the project team!"

"Including myself, all project team members must unconditionally obey the command and arrangements of Team Leader Tang Yuze, fully cooperate, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Our mission is to concentrate all our wisdom and resources to assist Team Leader Tang in unlocking the ultimate secrets of the human genome in the shortest possible time!"

Team leader?!

A boy who looks to be under twenty years old is leading this group of China's top biology elites?

Even Dean Huang Yu himself had to follow his arrangements!

This isn't just shocking, it's downright absurd!

If it weren't for the highly respected Huang Yu announcing this, and if it weren't for the fact that it involved top state secrets, someone would probably have raised questions on the spot.
