I Can Meet with Dead Scientists Chapter 408 - 213: The Stained Scholar (7.8K)4

"Xiaoxu, you probably already have an idea about Old Zhou. Coming out of that kind of environnt, he must be holding a lot of pent-up anger."

"I can only set up a eting for you with Old Zhou."

"Whether you can persuade him to join Huadun Biotech will be up to you."

Xu Yun nodded heavily:

"I’m ready, Elder Lin."

.....

It was just slightly past two in the afternoon, with plenty of ti before nightfall.

So after a simple preparation.

Xu Yun carried a fruit basket and several boxes of nutritional supplents and followed Lin Zhenhua into the car.

The car was driven by Zhao Haiyang, while Tang Li, Old Su, Yu Yuanyong, and others stayed back in the park and did not accompany them.

Over an hour passed.

The vehicle entered the city, taking several turns before stopping at the entrance of a residential area.

The neighborhood looked sowhat old from the outside, resembling a workers’ residential area from so years back.

The buildings were about seven or eight stories tall.

Seeing Xu Yun’s curious expression, Lin Zhenhua took the initiative to explain:

"Old Zhou’s wife is a teacher at Yong City First Middle School. The couple has a good relationship. After Old Zhou was imprisoned, she did not choose to divorce but waited for him for a full twelve years."

"Now that Old Zhou has been released, he naturally moved here, and the couple can finally reunite."

Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully, his gaze pausing on the bare bricks at the side of the workers’ building for a few seconds.

But ultimately, he still did not speak.

Then, Lin Zhenhua pointed forward with his hand and said:

"Alright, let’s go in."

The security at this kind of workers’ building was not very strict, plus Lin Zhenhua had an extraordinary deanor, exuding a very standard scholar’s aura.

Thus, the security guard only gave them a cursory glance before letting them in.

"Building Two... Building Five... Building Three, we are here."

Lin Zhenhua led Xu Yun through a path, finding their target by the building number engraved at the waist height of the buildings.

This type of building had no security doors, so the two easily walked inside.

As soon as they entered the building.

Xu Yun stopped, sowhat taken aback.

He pointed at the wall in front of him, plastered with advertisents for certifications and sewer services, and asked Lin Zhenhua:

"Elder Lin, does Academician Zhou’s building... not have an elevator?"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head upon hearing this, curled his index finger, and tapped on the wall:

"This is a workers’ house built twenty years ago, there’s no space for an elevator, how could there be one?"

Xu Yun opened his mouth, his expression sowhat incredulous:

"Doesn’t Academician Zhou have any savings? Living in a neighborhood like this?"

Lin Zhenhua sighed heavily, his face somber:

"When Old Zhou went to prison, not only was he required to return all funds, but he also had to pay a fine of 2.5 million."

"That was 2.5 million twelve years ago... Old Zhou wasn’t the corrupt type, and his mother had undergone surgery for rectal cancer earlier, which cost so money. Naturally, now he can only live here."

Xu Yun remained silent for a long ti after hearing this and sighed with a complex expression.

When the procuratorate collected evidence of Zhou Shan’s corruption, they found no personal expenditures.

The travel records they found were either second class or economy class.

If it weren’t for this, the case wouldn’t have taken five and a half years to go to trial.

As the saying goes.

It might not constitute a wrongful conviction, but the circumstances are indeed lantable.

Then, Xu Yun supported Lin Zhenhua up the stairs, quickly reaching the fifth floor.

As they reached the corner between the fourth and fifth floors, a slightly ajar door ca into view.

At this mont.

A strong voice was coming from inside the door:

"Mr. Huang, please convey to the Italian Academy of Sciences that I am very grateful they offered an olive branch at this ti, but I’m sorry, I will not work for foreign companies or institutions."

"But Academician Zhou, you now..."

"What about now? I was wrong in the past, and when you are wrong, you should be punished; it’s only right. Now that my sentence is complete, continuing to work dostically should also be rightful, shouldn’t it?"

"Uh, Academician Zhou, you understand, it’s not easy to find a suitable unit nowadays..."

Clearly.

There was a conversation happening inside.

Upon hearing the last sentence.

Lin Zhenhua suddenly gestured for Xu Yun to release his support, step by step moving up the stairs.

As he walked, he loudly said:

"Old Zhou, I have a younger relative’s company that’s hiring, are you interested in helping out?"

.....

Among the remaining academicians, with few exceptions, most of them no longer have the energy and stamina for long-term frontline research. Lin Zhenhua would definitely not recomnd this type of bosses. In other words. Nationally, there are fewer than 180 academicians who could truly et Lin Zhenhua’s qualifications, and none of them are anyone Xu Yun would ever dream of but could never obtain. Now, Lin Zhenhua says he can introduce an academician to his company? Isn’t that too fantastical? Would such high-profile bosses ever look at the small operation that is Huadun Biotech now? However, Lin Zhenhua was unaware of Xu Yun’s little calculations at this ti, and after a mont of silence, he added: "But Xiaoxu, there’s sothing I need to make clear first to avoid any disputes later."
