Chapter 1064: Contributing to the Country, Supported by the Country

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Laboratory? What project is it?” Ning Gui’s eyes lit up at the mention of academics.

Her excitement was quickly tempered by the realization that Ning Shen’s controlling nature might prevent her from staying in the laboratory during the winter break.

Gu Yang said, “It’s Academician Li’s project.”

Ning Gui was astonished. “Academician Li’s project?!”

This was an opportunity beyond the reach of most undergraduates!

Gu Yang nodded. “It’s focused on semiconductor research. If you’re interested, I can give you Academician Li’s contact information so you can learn more about it.”

Ning Gui was momentarily stunned. Was this really happening?

She blinked and pointed at herself. “Can I really be a part of it?”

Gu Yang looked at her with sincerity. “You can.”

Academician Li was a distinguished professor in Hua University’s Physics Department and also a member of the Mutant Department’s research team. Gu Yang had met him during system development training in the Mutant Department.

Although Academician Li initially intended to select graduate students for the semiconductor research project, he made an exception for Gu Yang due to her impressive skills in physics. Gu Yang had planned to decline the offer because she was focused on her hypnosis development but saw the potential in Ning Gui.

Given Ning Gui’s aptitude, Gu Yang believed she would be a valuable addition to the project with her recommendation.

Gu Yang looked up and said, “Academician Li is a highly esteemed physicist. If you join his project and earn his recognition, Ning Shen will be forced to be cautious.”

“If you achieve a similar level of success and make significant contributions to the country, you’ll have the support of the nation. With that backing, Ning Shen won’t dare to threaten you or your family.”

Gu Yang realized she was becoming quite adept at painting grand visions. Sometimes, presenting a hopeful future could be a powerful motivator, especially when faced with bleak prospects, much like Shen Ran’s situation.

Ning Gui’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, her heart filled with anticipation for the future.

Her primary focus had always been on academics, using her studies as a refuge from her fears. Immersing herself in learning was a way to escape her reality.

Now, with a clear goal in sight, she was driven to become a valuable asset to her country.

From that day forward, Ning Gui’s dedication intensified.

Years later, as Academician Ning, a rising star in physics, spoke to her research team about her university days with her colleagues, she would reflect on this pivotal moment. Though many details had faded, she vividly remembered the girl’s ambitious words: “Contributing to the country, supported by the country.”

And she had indeed achieved her goal.

At the end of December, the capital was blanketed in heavy snow.

After finishing the last exam for the Physics Department, Xiao Yize invited Gu Yang and Gu Jin to Lin Ran’s new hotpot restaurant. Although Feng Jue wasn’t originally invited, he insisted on joining them and ended up tagging along.

Gu Yang, not wanting to be a third wheel, clung to her boyfriend’s hand.

Xiao Yize wasn’t fond of Feng Jue, but his sister’s insistence meant he had little choice but to accept the situation.

After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Xiao Yize took Gu Jin out for a date, while Gu Yang and Feng Jue went shopping.

Gu Yang said, “Mom just opened a new branch of Xueyao Jewelry in the capital. It’s on the street ahead. Let’s go check it out.”

Feng Jue replied, “Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
