Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Arrival!

To be able to witness all of this happening by Jiang Cheng’s side, to see it with my own eyes, and to truly feel the trend of the entire era being changed, is truly fascinating and irresistible.

A long time ago, I used to think, more than once, what is the meaning of coming into this world? What am I pursuing myself? Perhaps each person inevitably thinks about these questions, and perhaps each person has their own meaning and value in existence.

Or perhaps, the meaning of existence is simply existence itself, that simple.

In any case, at this moment, I genuinely feel that my purpose of existence is to see with my own eyes and witness the transition of the era.

This is my fortune, and also the reason why Jiang Cheng deeply attracts me and makes me mesmerized by him.

To come to Jiang Cheng’s side and experience this feeling is truly wonderful.

I truly hope this time can continue forever.

If one day, I become Jiang Cheng’s woman, wouldn’t it be even better?

I have thought about this question more than once, but is there really such a possibility?

More often than not, I can’t help but have this self-doubt..↑

Xia Xiaowei soon finished writing this diary, and by the time she was done, it was already one o’clock in the morning.

After filling her stomach and finishing her diary, Xia Xiaowei contently closed her journal, put it back in the drawer, turned around, and went to sleep.

She had to go to work as usual tomorrow, so she must rest quickly.

The lecture on genetics and the discussion topics it sparked are, in fact, still continuing.

However, Jiang Cheng did not bother with it. The size of this stir, although it all originated because of him, he had no desire to end the topic.

Letting it go like this seems a bit irresponsible, but Jiang Cheng is just such a person. Instead of following the hype, attending to it, or rushing to publish his achievements to receive praise from the world, he’d rather spend time on something more meaningful. Time is incredibly precious.

No matter how much, it never feels like too much.

Jiang Cheng’s time is no exception; he knows how to make more effective use of his time.

Just like now.

Jiang Cheng’s complete disregard for the ”nine-five-three” style of handling things appears quite baffling to others... Even Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian feel the same way. If it were them, they would have already bowed under pressure, or rather, under public opinion, started making statements. Even if some things couldn’t be revealed, they would need to show the attitude of confidence rather than shooting in the dark.

They simply couldn’t achieve Jiang Cheng’s level of complete disregard, a directly dismissive attitude.

During the time Jiang Cheng was conducting research, Major General Xiang Dong visited Jiang Cheng.

Major General Xiang Dong’s visit was entirely within Jiang Cheng’s expectations... In fact, Jiang Cheng was somewhat surprised that it took them this long to visit him.

Since Jiang Cheng made such a statement at the Hasslo Medical Lecture, it means he possesses something valuable, likely something like graphene and virtual reality devices

that can change the world. This makes quite a few domestic bigwigs V

want to contact Jiang Cheng, but Jiang Cheng has not responded to them — and even though the government has been somewhat tempted, they haven’t directly contacted Jiang Cheng.

Until now, they sent Major General Xiang Dong over. The implication couldn’t be clearer.

”Major General Xiang Dong, long time no see.” Jiang Cheng met Major General Xiang Dong in the villa’s reception room. He wasn’t rude and didn’t show impatience for being disturbed during his research. He smiled and said.

”Brother Jiang Cheng, it’s truly been a long time, and I don’t mean to intrude so suddenly. I apologize for any impertinence; I hope you don’t mind!” Major General Xiang Dong looked at Jiang Cheng in front of him, with a bit of an apologetic tone — one must know that geniuses like Jiang Cheng typically have peculiar tempers, or to use a less flattering term, they’re eccentric, quirky.

But no matter how quirky, such genius figures are what countless countries desire, and they can’t afford to offend them. Their quirks must be tolerated.

Luckily, Jiang Cheng isn’t quite the eccentric oddball with a strange temper; his temper is actually remarkably good, almost unreasonably so.

”It’s no problem.” Jiang Cheng smiled nonchalantly and said, ”In fact, I already anticipated you would come, so it’s not really an intrusion.”

”You already anticipated that I would come?” Major General Xiang Dong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, ”Come to think of it, I should indeed have come sooner. Since Brother Jiang Cheng, you say that, you must have already guessed why I came.”

”Naturally, so let’s have a good talk.” Jiang Cheng nodded and then said to the maid who brought in the tea, ”Replace this tea. Prepare the best tea, and also prepare some snacks.”

The maid was an adorable one, though not as striking as Guan Xiaofei or Xia Xiaowei, but considered cute and pleasant to look at. The villa where Jiang Cheng lived was so large that naturally, maids were needed to attend to daily chores.

They all had considerable professional training, receiving a handsome salary for this job, and worked cautiously, not daring to make any mistakes.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, she quickly said, ”Yes, Master, I understand.”

”Really nice,” Xiang Dong looked at the maid with a bit of envy and couldn’t help but say.

”What’s nice?” Jiang Cheng looked at Xiang Dong, baffled, and asked.

”I mean, Brother, your life is really nice! Doing research regularly, having a giant company under your belt, making crazy amounts of money while constantly fulfilling your life and aspirations....” Xiang Dong said with a face full of envy and emotion.

”Doing research is not as easy as you think. It’s exceedingly strenuous work.” Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, ”The company’s matters aren’t as simple as you imagine either.”

”That’s true; nothing is simple. I was presumptuous.” Major General Xiang Dong said.

”What message did you bring from the top this time?” Jiang Cheng asked, looking at Major General Xiang Dong.

’The message is simple: they want to know about your research and achievements in the Genetic Domain, and whether the future will truly become, as you stated at the Hasslo Medical Lecture, an era of genetic revolution?’ Xiang Dong’s expression became serious, as this was a matter of importance, and it wouldn’t do to be anything but serious.

Jiang Cheng looked at Xiang Dong, smiled, and said, ”Since I dared to deliver such a speech at the Hasslo Medical Lecture, there are naturally achievements in the relevant fields, though not yet perfect. But I’ve already mastered the Genetic Evolution Potion—as I said, genetics will become the theme of future medicine, an inescapable focus. It’s evident, only a pity that many people do not see this point.”
