Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Here, take it."

Yang Jianguo took out two 10,000-yuan bills and handed them to him, saying, "Take some time to buy two new pairs and wear them alternately."

Clutching the money and putting it in his pocket, Yang Zhiyuan felt less awkward.

It's natural to feel flustered and shy when encountering something like this for the first time.

But his father remained extremely calm, showing no anger or yelling at him.

This made Jerry Yang realize that it was just like what was described in the book.

It's just a process of a man's growth; there's nothing shameful or embarrassing about it.

Naturally, one no longer feels embarrassed or shy.

Having settled his son's worries, Yang Jianguo didn't rush back to his room but instead asked about his plans.

"Have you chosen a school yet, or would you like to follow my advice?"

Although there are still eight or nine months until graduation, it will pass in the blink of an eye.

The two of them haven't decided where to go yet, which won't do.

Yang Jianguo's suggestion was to go with the main group.

With his recommendation, their grades are definitely good enough.

But Yang Zhiyuan said, "Dad, I've made up my mind. I want to go to the Ying family."

When they went to the Eagle's house, the two countries had not yet re-established diplomatic relations.

While the secret visit was effective, it ultimately required time and a process.

Visiting the Ying family during this period was no easy task.

Yang Jianguo didn't say anything, but simply nodded firmly with a smile: "Dad supports your decision."

Chapter 313 Loongson Technology, the Essence of Tan Family Cuisine

In an era of government-sponsored overseas study, one must strive to be the first to pursue independent overseas study.

A strong will and perseverance alone are not enough.

Now that he has made his decision, all Yang Jianguo can do is offer his support.

The rest can be left to him to handle.

The first person to study abroad at their own expense—that title sounds a bit glamorous.

But actually, if it's not deliberately publicized, no one will pay special attention to this kind of thing!

Besides, the door to studying abroad has been open for five or six years.

As long as the organization's consent is obtained, it can be done through official channels.

What's the connection between self-funded and government-sponsored funding?

Yang Jianguo's idea received the support of the top leader.

He personally agreed with this view and reminded Yang Jianguo to submit his application report to the organization as soon as possible.

Now that you've made a decision, don't keep it a secret.

Reporting early and explaining promptly shows trust in the organization!

"I'll write a report when I get back," Yang Jianguo immediately stated, and that was the end of the matter.

Next, the senior leader told him the results of the last meeting.

"The organization agrees in principle to establish a joint public-private company to work with the Lou family."

"However, it is important to grasp the right balance here. You need to be in the right position, and more importantly, you need to have the right mindset."

Seeing that he nodded in agreement, the senior leader continued, "As for this personal matter, my opinion is that you should make the decision."

Yang Jianguo really hadn't expected him to be the general manager of this joint venture.

No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with 'private matters'.

"You need to look at things from a different perspective. Your identity is that of a technician, the chief engineer of the Precision Research Institute, that's correct."

"But this doesn't conflict with you running your own company!" Looking at the leader's righteous face, Yang Jianguo's eyes were full of question marks.

Commander, are you already playing such fancy tricks?

“I wouldn’t trust anyone else,” the senior leader frankly told him. “Besides, only you can work with the Lou family.”

Yang Jianguo understood what he meant.

But that's precisely what he resisted; he personally didn't want to have too much involvement with Lou Xiao'e.

I don't want to maintain frequent contact with her, giving her impossible hope.

This is turning into fishing!

"How can you say that? It's all for work!"

The top leader pretended not to understand what he was saying.

"Commander~" Yang Jianguo was both amused and exasperated.

I treat you like a superior, and you're trying to cheat me? Is that appropriate?!

So fitting.

"It's settled then. Let's come up with a name for the company first. What do you think would be good?"

The commander has given the order, what else can Yang Jianguo say?

Let's come up with a name!

"What do you think of Loongson Technology?"

"Loongson Technology, Loongson~"

The senior leader repeated the steps several times, his smile growing ever brighter.

"Okay, Loongson, that's the name." The top leader slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly.

Loongson, Loongson, great!

After finishing his business with the top leader, Yang Jianguo went out and turned into the building next door.

Inside the closed research institute, everyone was busy.

I spent the previous two months working on the theory, just on the various data, formulas, and theories that needed to be proven.

The documents were piled up like a small mountain in the research institute's archives room, and it was unclear when they would all be finished.

Doing real research is tedious, boring, and uninteresting.

When faced with a difficult problem, it may take months or even years to repeatedly discuss and verify the same issue.

But that's their job, once they make a breakthrough.

The benefits and results are also quite astonishing, so no one will complain even if it is boring.

"director."

"Director, you've arrived."

"Director, our data is wrong!"

As soon as he entered, Yang Jianguo was surrounded by people.

"Don't rush, don't rush, take your time." Yang Jianguo raised his hand and said, "Go back to work first, I'll talk to you privately."

After hearing what he said, those who were still gathered around, and those who were planning to join in, all went back.

Yang Jianguo first went to the nearest group to inquire about the process, data, and progress of the experiment.

One by one, they went on, and time slipped away unnoticed.

After he put all the data together and gained a comprehensive understanding,

It's already dark outside!

Yang Jianguo went over it in his mind again, clapped his hands and said, "Alright, everyone has worked hard today."

"Now, pack your things and come with me. We're going to have a good meal."

"Oh~" Everyone had been looking forward to it for a long time.

They walked out in groups, exchanging updates and data as they went.

However, all of this suddenly came after I stepped out the door.

The conversation turned into mundane family matters, but the necessary sense of confidentiality must not be abandoned.

When we arrived at the bicycle shed, it was filled with Phoenix and Forever bicycles.

They were all polished to a shine, but when placed under a light, they didn't reflect light properly.

However, quite a few people don't have cars and walk here every day.

Master Huo and his fellow villagers are...

"Everyone take care of yourselves, one person per car, let's hurry up."

"Everything must be ready inside, or the braised pork knuckle will get cold if you go too late."

Upon hearing that there would be a main dish, everyone became even more eager to get started.

"Director, what kind of wine should we drink?" someone asked casually, which drew criticism from everyone.

"You little brat, you can't even have a pork knuckle to eat?"

"The best grain liquor, made by the villagers themselves,"

Yang Jianguo smiled broadly and said, "Let me tell you, I've been drinking this wine for over ten years, and it's no worse than the four great national wines."

"Really?" With eyes full of surprise, everyone shouted, "Hurry up, this makes my mouth water!"

"My thirst for alcohol has been awakened too! Hurry up and get out of here!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, are you trying to kill me?!"

"Hahaha……"

In the courtyard, Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye were busy at his house.

Yingzi and Ran Qiuye assisted him, while Shazhu prepared 12 dishes by himself.

Actually, it should be said that there were 6 dishes.

It's just that we divided it into two portions, so there were more plates on two tables.

Braised pork knuckle, braised pig's head, pan-fried tofu, spinach with clams, twice-cooked pork.

The last dish was also tofu, Mapo Tofu.

With limited ingredients, Sha Zhu has all the skills but nowhere to use them—he's at his wit's end!

"Hey, Zhu Zi, why have I never seen you cook Tan family cuisine?" Yingzi remembered that he was a descendant of Tan family cuisine, but he always cooked Sichuan cuisine.

Occasionally, on one or two occasions, it would be a lunchbox brought back.

I've never seen him use his special skills in this courtyard, and as time went on, I became curious about him.

Hearing her question, Sha Zhu grinned and said, "You're an amateur!"

"The essence of Tan Family Cuisine is cooking seafood delicacies in a rich broth, using abalone and shark fin. Ordinary people like us can't afford that."

"Let alone ordinary people, even high-ranking officials can't afford it. It's used to entertain foreign guests, and you can only see one or two dishes when a grand banquet is held."

“That Grand Capital Hotel, you don’t see anyone ordering it for months.”

Sha Zhu looked at the two of them and said bluntly, "Ever since the Tan Family Cuisine came into being, it has never been for ordinary people. It's not called 'official cuisine' for nothing!"

Chapter 314 Making Arrangements, Fortune Turns Around

After explaining the origins and characteristics of Tan Family Cuisine, Sha Zhu poked his head out and asked, "Why hasn't Jianguo come back yet?"

"Perhaps something came up and delayed him!" Yingzi wasn't worried at all.
