Chapter Thirty-Five: Heroes Admire Heroes

  Li Peicheng still hoped that Mr. Zhao could lower the price, so he didn't immediately inform Yang Yingying of his decision. By Sunday afternoon, when Little Yang hadn't called him, Li Peicheng knew that Mr. Zhao wouldn't lower the price again, and made a phone call to finalize the shop deal.

  On Sunday evening, in that same classroom, Li Peicheng ran into Liu Ziyun again; she was still as cold and beautiful as ever.

  When the evening self-study session ended, Li Peicheng caught a whiff of a familiar fragrance again. However, this familiar fragrance did not drift away with the wind as it usually did, but instead lingered around Li Peicheng's nostrils.

  Li Peicheng saw two extremely long and slender legs wrapped in black pants, cold and gorgeous, motionless.

  Li Peicheng looked up in surprise, only to see Liu Jiyun standing in front of his desk, her beautiful eyes sizing him up, her cold and elegant lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something to Li Peicheng.

  "Tomorrow afternoon at 1:30, come to room 502 in the experimental building." Yu Ziyun said, her voice still cold, but Li Peicheng could hear that Yu Ziyun's attitude towards him had begun to change, which made Li Peicheng feel a little surprised.

  The change in the witch's attitude was a good thing for Li Peicheng, so he didn't mind that Liu Zhixiu had once distrusted him and agreed immediately.

  Li Peicheng, as usual, packed up his books and followed Liu Jiyun out of the classroom. He was wondering why the witch would take the initiative to ask him out instead of waiting for him to ask her. Suddenly, he saw a document in the witch's hand, which was his own views and suggestions on this project.

  It was like this! Li Peicheng's mouth corners slightly curved upwards, revealing a knowing smile.

  It seems that the witch is not completely unreasonable after all. At least when faced with reality, she still knows how to correct her own biases.

  On Monday, Li Peicheng did not go to Sun Xiaoyan's home, but instead went to the Sports Lottery Center first and took back the 4 million yuan prize money after tax deduction.

  As he walked out of the lottery center, Li Peicheng thought about the bulging wallet in his pocket, which actually contained 40 million yuan, feeling particularly unreal, as if it were a dream.

  Outside Room 502 of the Experimental Building, Li Peicheng was just about to raise his hand and knock on the door.

  "I won't go back!" A cold and stubborn voice came from inside the room.

  Li Peicheng hesitated for a moment and slowly put his hand down.

  "You must come home tonight, I will send someone to pick you up!" A stern and irresistible voice came from the other end of the phone, followed by a loud hang-up.

  Liu Zhiyun sat stiffly in front of her desk, like an ice sculpture, her cold and beautiful eyes gazing blankly out the window, her chaotic thoughts entwining in her mind like a venomous snake.

  In the office, she was like a lonely elf, quietly savoring the taste of loneliness.

  She hated going back to that cold home, she hated her father using her as a pawn even more. She would rather stay alone in the lab all day, dealing with bottles and jars, a pile of reagents, a pile of data. In the world of scientific research, her thoughts could fly freely, she was her own master, she didn't have to think about the complicated relationships and things in the human world.

  The knock at the door brought back the icy gaze of Liu Ziyu and interrupted her chaotic thoughts.

  "Come in!" The voice of Liu Ziyun seemed forever cold.

  Li Peicheng pushed open the door with a smile and greeted Liu Jiyun.

  Liu Zhiyun slightly nodded to Li Peicheng and then pointed to a chair in front of the desk, saying: "Sit down, tomorrow we will formally begin this scientific research experiment, I think it's necessary for us to have some communication."

  Although I had contact with Liu Ziyun before, it was very brief and we didn't exchange more than two sentences. It's the first time that I'm sitting across from her like this, calm and peaceful, separated only by a small square table.

  Li Peicheng looked at the legendary figure of Huanzi College sitting upright in front of him with a bright and upright gaze.

  Liu Ziyu's facial features are clear and distinct, with slightly sunken cheeks on both sides, a straight nose, bright eyes and white teeth, exuding a refreshing and elegant demeanor. Coupled with her slender figure, icy expression, she looks like a character from a novel.

  Liu Zhiyun was also secretly sizing up this special partner. If she hadn't seen the manuscript that Professor He handed over to her with her own eyes, it would be hard for her to believe that an undergraduate had such profound knowledge and sharp scientific insight.

  Soon, the two began to discuss this project. In the discussion process, Li Peichen found that Liu Jiyun's personality was a bit cold, but her academic level was indeed very high. Listening to her talk, Li Peichen felt that he had gained a lot and couldn't help but secretly admire her.

  Li Peicheng secretly admired her, and Liu Zhixiu was also extremely surprised by Li Peicheng's profound knowledge. What surprised Liu Zhixiu the most was that this guy had a wide range of expertise. Even in Liu Zhixiu's own field of environmental engineering, he seemed to know some superficial things and could always come up with his own opinions, which made Liu Zhixiu feel quite strange.

  Since ancient times, heroes have appreciated other heroes. Although neither of them is a hero, they seem to have achieved some kind of resonance in a certain aspect. Li Peicheng no longer feels that Liu Zhixun is particularly cold, and Liu Zhixun no longer thinks that this undergraduate graduate is annoying, and even secretly rejoices at finding a better partner. Of course, Liu Zhixun's expression remains unchanged, she has never liked to show her inner thoughts on her face.

  Although they had a pleasant conversation, the two still inevitably had differences on this topic.

  "I think it's enough to just find two representative mining areas and screen out about six types of plants," said Liu Qiyun.

  "I disagree, I think at least four mining areas should be screened for more than ten types of plants." Li Peicheng refused to back down.

  Liu Zhi's face was tense, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, apparently she was somewhat angry at Li Peicheng's stubbornness.

  "You should know that running four mining areas, screening over ten types of plants will consume a lot of energy, time and money! I think it's not necessary!" Liuyi Yun's gaze pierced through Lipeicheng.

  Li Peicheng did not waver, his eyes still fixed on Liu Ziyun, saying: "I don't think so, the preparatory work for scientific research is very important, and I think Dr. Liu understands this better than me. This project is to study how plants solve soil heavy metal pollution problems. So the first step is crucial to find suitable plants, and then conduct in-depth studies on the selected plants to address soil heavy metal pollution issues from various aspects. It can be said that our subsequent work will all be based on the research of the plants selected in the first step. Because the growth cycle of plant cultivation is relatively long, if the previous work is not done well, re-remediation will greatly delay the progress of scientific research..." Li Peicheng first analyzed the problem from a macro perspective, and then analyzed it from the perspective of plant nutrition expertise.

  Liu Zhiyun's pretty face was still tense, but her eyes had already begun to slowly yield.
