Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Unpreventable

Gu Huai’an pursed his lips uncomfortably. Candied hawthorn stick—what kind of adjective was that?

Song Yunuan moved away with a sense of regret in her gaze, saying, "Once Chairman Zhong transfers the money, and the four people from the Zhong family leave, I should head back home too."

Gu Huai’an asked, "Is there something you need to do today?"

Song Yunuan glanced at Second Young Master Zhong, who was eagerly looking at them from not far away, and said, "I promised to take him out for a walk."

Then she added, "With Uncle Xiao Dizi as our guide, I also really want to take a tour."

Gu Huai’an said, "I want to take you to Dragon Aviation, is that okay?"

Song Yunuan’s eyes lit up, "Can we go?"

Of course.

So, Song Yunuan followed Gu Huai’an to Dragon Aviation.

Of course, Ji Yingying came along too; as far as Second Young Master Zhong was concerned, there was no way he would be allowed in.

It was Song Yunuan’s first time visiting such a place.

But it didn’t feel very unfamiliar.

Possibly because she had seen too many related news articles and images in the future.

However, seeing it with her own eyes was still quite shocking.

The project they were collaborating on with foreign partners had been officially signed, and it could be considered a win-win cooperation.

Song Yunuan reminded him of a few things, which Gu Huai’an timely circumvented.

On the way, they encountered quite a few people.

Everyone had a look of pupil-dilating astonishment.

Ji Yingying was holding Song Yunuan’s hand, and she curiously asked Gu Huai’an, "Big brother, is this your first time bringing a girl here?"

Song Yunuan chuckled.

Gu Huai’an, on the other hand, kept a straight face, "Yingying is right; it indeed is my first time."

Ji Yingying pointed towards the distance, "I want to see the big airplane!"

So, Secretary Xiao Wu, following behind, took Ji Yingying to see the big airplane.

Gu Huai’an then took Song Yunuan to his own laboratory.

The laboratory was huge, with a feeling of science fiction to it.

There was even a computer.

It was 1980, and computers had already appeared.

Gu Huai’an’s eyes darkened a bit, with a hint of apology, "Little Nuan, the hypothesis you told me about is hard to achieve."

Song Yunuan said, "Didn’t I tell you already? I was just saying it off the cuff."

Gu Huai’an: ...

"But your hypothesis can be applied to other fields. Let me take you upstairs," said Gu Huai’an very seriously.

The structure of this laboratory was tall, and on a platform to the north there was a device which Gu Huai’an told Song Yunuan was for experimenting with her hypothesis.

He demonstrated it for Song Yunuan, and they saw a small ball emerge, moving toward its destination along a twisting path at an eerie speed, but upon passing through a door, the ball vanished.

Song Yunuan’s eyes widened in shock. Was this some kind of magic trick being performed for her?

Song Yunuan asked anxiously, "Where’s the ball?"

It certainly hadn’t truly disappeared or gone to another dimension—that was currently impossible to achieve.

But performing magic tricks wasn’t Gu Huai’an’s style either.

Gu Huai’an pointed to a spot just beyond the door, "Look, there it is!"

Song Yunuan then saw the ball, which had stopped right in front of the little door. The mystery wasn’t in the ball, but in the door.

Song Yunuan saw the light emanating from the small door, a light that had cloaked the ball from view.

Gu Huai’an said, "This can be applied to aviation; it’s still in the early stages though. If it were me, I’d be able to see the ball because I’d ignore the door. But it’s different for you—it’s your first time observing this, so your eyes would involuntarily follow the ball, neglecting the door."

Song Yunuan’s gaze fell on Gu Huai’an’s face. She couldn’t help but wonder if he was pulling her leg. But she had to admit, his looks were striking; each glance felt like a shock, and she said distractedly, "Your explanation is incorrect, this has nothing to do with me. Ever heard of a far-fetched connection?"

Gu Huai’an laughed.

He actually seldom laughed.

But when he did, it truly was a sight to behold.

It was as if the stars in his eyes spilled out and fell into your heart, exploding into a dazzling fireworks display.

Gu Huai’an, "There’s no need to put it that way, the theories and information you shared with me that night were actually very important to me." He paused, then continued, "Your theories can also be applied to energy systems and dynamic systems."

It’s just a pity there isn’t enough research funding.

At the end of the day, it still comes down to not having money.

Song Yunuan of course knew what he was referring to.

It was information she had intentionally let slip without making it seem that way.

In this world, there was Gu Huai’an, a leading figure in the field of scientific research, who held a certain status and had a say in the field.

If it developed quickly, she would benefit as well, so why not?

Song Yunuan’s eyes sparkled as she asked him, "How do you plan to thank me?"

[Little brother, if you say ’I offer myself in exchange’ this time, I’ll agree right away!]

Gu Huai’an: ...

She really was impossible to guard against.

He stared at Song Yunuan, his gaze focused, his lips moved slightly, he really wanted to give it a try.

Song Yunuan, too, stared at Gu Huai’an... at his neck.

With the weather being so hot, why had he buttoned up so tightly? Didn’t he feel hot?

As their eyes met, it was Gu Huai’an who chuckled softly and changed the subject, "Actually, these are just preliminary ideas; it’s difficult to bring them to fruition. Come on, I’ll take you somewhere else for a change of scenery."

Then, Gu Huai’an picked crowded places that were open for viewing, not giving Song Yunuan the chance to let her mind wander.

Song Yunuan didn’t realize his careful consideration and thought some areas were off-limits.

After lunch, Gu Huai’an dropped them off and told Song Yunuan that he would be busy for the next few days but she could write or call if there was anything she needed.

He then drove away.

Song Yunuan was preparing to go to the museum to see Museum Director Feng, as she also had a work badge when Xiao Dizi mentioned that the money had been wired over.

The amount was more than requested.

It was sixty-one thousand yuan, with a thousand yuan given for the phone bill.

Song Yunuan had given Zhong Daqiao her phone number.

It was Xiao Dizi’s office number, which was usually unmanned, but they had been waiting on purpose today.

Second Young Master Zhong had wanted to go with Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan told him to stabilize his condition first; once it was stable, they could stroll around Nanshan County Town.

In the evening, Old Mr. Ji called her to his study and told Song Yunuan that there were ten thousand yuan there for her.

With such an illness, it’s important to recuperate.

Even with the occasional addition of expensive medicinal ingredients, fifty thousand yuan would suffice for a year’s expenses.

Song Yunuan did not stand on ceremony and gave Xiao Dizi her passbook account number.

An easy ten thousand yuan in her account.

Song Yunuan was very happy.

She didn’t arrange for Second Young Master Zhong to stay at the Ji family’s place but in the special care area of the hospital, and also rented a place nearby for him.

Having money and people at their disposal made things much simpler.

The Zhong family’s situation had also been reported upwards.

As a result, Second Young Master Zhong and the bodyguards now faced restrictions primarily to focus on his medical treatment; other activities would have to follow certain rules for the time being.

This arrangement actually made Zhong Shaoqing feel more at ease.

Truthfully, he didn’t want to keep any bodyguards; not even one, but if they all were sent back, the Zhong family would still send others.

It would be better to stick with the thoroughly subdued and honest Adah and Acheng.

He could always send them back once he was able to control his emotions better.
