Sail across the sea

"What's so serious?" Zheng Linong asked in a slightly joking tone.

"It's really serious." Gao Fan put away his relaxed expression during the previous chat, and said seriously, "When I was in America, I met two strange people."

Next, he introduced to Zheng Linong how he met Peng Laier and Alia.He couldn't say that he actually recognized Penglaier as someone decades later, and then realized that the identities of these two people were not simple. He only said that he felt abnormal in the other party during the contact process.

Hearing what Gao Fan said was such a thing, Zheng Linong's face became serious, he thought for a while, and asked: "You are worried that they have a special mission, but you are not an official of an important department in the country. , why should they waste time on you?"

Regarding this question, Gao Fan actually has an answer, and this answer also comes from decades later.He said: "These days, I am also thinking about this matter. The time they contacted me was almost the time when the Hatch Group agreed to provide loans to Canghua Technology and Trade, or in other words, the Hatch Group recognized my ability. Time to think I have investment potential."

"You mean that the secret service of the United States will attack all young Chinese with potential?" Zheng Linong asked.

"Exactly." Gao Fan said, "I guess, their idea is to cast a wide net, as long as they have potential, they will contact and throw some bait, as for whether the other party will bite the bait, they don't care.

"This kind of thing doesn't cost much to them. And as long as one out of ten people succeeds, or even one out of a hundred people succeeds, it's a huge gain for them."

"Your guess is not unreasonable." Zheng Linong said, he thought for a while, and then asked: "You told me this matter, do you want me to remind the relevant departments, or do you have other ideas?"

Gao Fan said: "It would be best if Minister Zheng could report this situation to the relevant departments and make them more vigilant against similar things.

"However, as far as I am concerned, I regard Minister Zheng as the representative of the organization. When something like this happens, I must report to the organization as soon as possible."

"It's very good that you have this sensitivity." Zheng Linong nodded with satisfaction, "I will tell the relevant department about this matter for you, and let them arrange someone to ask you for details."

Gao Fan's meaning is very clear. If Penglaier and Alia are figures from the US special department, Gao Fan's contact with them is a hidden danger for Gao Fan. Maybe someone will take this This incident is used as a handle for Gao Fan.

Gao Fan said that he regards Zheng Linong as the representative of the organization, and telling Zheng Linong about this matter is equivalent to reporting the matter to the organization, and if someone makes trouble because of it in the future, the organization can rectify his name.

Many officials who are much older and have higher positions than Gao Fan are not aware of this kind of thing.It is really rare for Gao Fan to be able to do things so thoughtfully at such a young age.

Just as he was saying this, footsteps were heard in the corridor.Gao Fan gave Zheng Linong a look, got up to open the door, and saw that it was Wu Zhefu coming from the corridor, followed by a person in a white coat, who should be a waiter in the cafeteria.

The two held two lunch boxes in each hand, and there was an aroma of dumplings in the lunch boxes.

With Wu Zhefu present, Zheng Linong and Gao Fan naturally stopped talking about Penglaier, but chatted about some domestic current affairs.Zheng Linong didn't treat Gao Fan like a child, and even asked Gao Fan's opinions very seriously on some issues.

After dinner, Gao Fan declined Zheng Linong's offer to send a car to take him back to school, took his leave and left.

By the time Gao Fan took two buses and returned to Peking University, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.The students in the dormitory had already returned from the library, and they were quite surprised and delighted to see Gao Fan.

Gao Fan distributed the souvenirs brought back from the United States to the crowd, which naturally caused another fuss.

This night, the sleeping meeting in dormitory 449 lasted until two o'clock in the morning. Everyone was really worried about the next morning's class, so they dared not continue the chat.However, after everyone stopped talking, there were quite a few people who tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.

Early the next morning, the students all hurried to the cafeteria to eat, and then went to the classroom for class.Gao Fan took a late night sleep, and arrived at the Academic Affairs Office of the Department of Chemistry at around nine o'clock.

"Sister Zheng, hello."

Gao Fan greeted Zheng Xiuhua, the secretary of the department who was sitting at the desk and immersed himself in his work, with a smile.In fact, Zheng Xiuhua is a few years older than Gao Yiping, and the students always call her Grandma Zheng behind her back.

"Huh?" Zheng Xiuhua raised her head, a little confused, and after seeing who the student standing in front of her was, she pretended to curse, "It's you, Gao Fan, no big or small!"

"Why, Sister Zheng will always be 20 years old in my mind." Gao Fan complimented the old lady eloquently, he knew that Zheng Xiuhua liked this set.

"Why are you back? Didn't you suddenly remember that you still have a Peking University student ID card?" Zheng Xiuhua asked Gao Fan with a fake face.

"How can I, I have never forgotten that I am still a student of the Department of Chemistry." Gao Fan expressed his loyalty, "I just came back from the United States, and I went to the Ministry of Chemical Industry to report to Minister Zheng yesterday, and today I came to the department to listen to Zheng. The teacher's instructions."

"You moved Minister Zheng out, so how dare I warn you." Zheng Xiuhua said, "That's right, Gao Fan, you have gone to the United States. Did Minister Zheng arrange for you to go to the United States with a delegation? ?”

Gao Fan then introduced things like Hatch Group to Zheng Xiuhua.After hearing this, Zheng Xiuhua nodded and said, "Mr. Hai came back from your Maolin last time and told you about what you did there, and several leaders in the department spoke highly of your work.

"Mr. Hai said that the projects you are working on are all chemical projects. Your foundation is very solid, and the level is no less than that of graduate students in our department."

"The department doesn't want me to go directly to graduate school, does it?" Gao Fan asked.

"You have a good idea." Zheng Xiuhua reprimanded, "Director Teng said, no matter how high your level is, you still have to study step by step. You can continue to apply for exemptions, but you still have to come back every semester to take the exemption exam. If you fail the exam, You have to go back to class and go to class honestly.”

"Obey!" Gao Fan agreed very simply.

It is very rare for the department to tolerate him not attending classes for the whole semester.It is also a requirement of the rules and regulations to let him come back every semester to take the exemption exam, and he can't push himself too far.
