Chapter 14 Everyone is Going to the East Sea!

"Yo ho! Everyone's coming to the East Sea!"

Gao Yang heard that Zhou Duanyun was also coming to the East Sea to develop, and laughed heartily, "Come, come! Hahahaha, the four of us can make a mahjong table directly!"

"Alright, you two are the last ones. Now that everyone's here, you two go on up! The biggest private room on the east side of the second floor is full of our classmates!"

Zhou Duanyun smiled and looked at Tang Xin, "And who is this beautiful lady?"

"Hello, my name is Tang Xin." Tang Xin smiled generously, "Hello, Classmate Zhou."

"Ah! Tang Xin!" Zhou Duanyun suddenly realized, "I remember you! You transferred here in the second year of high school, but went abroad after a few days." ???

Lin Xian and Gao Yang exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

What kind of memory geniuses are these?

Did they transfer from *The Brain*? Is everyone's memory this good?

Tang Xin was also surprised, and smiled, "Really... I'm a little flattered. I was actually a little nervous about attending this class reunion, worried that everyone wouldn't remember me."

"Hahahaha, beauties are always memorable. Here, ladies first." Zhou Duanyun chuckled, lifted the curtain, and gestured for Tang Xin to enter.

"Thank you." Tang Xin nodded to Zhou Duanyun, turned her head and waved to Lin Xian, "I'll go up first, Lin Xian. See you in a bit."

……

Gao Yang craned his neck, watching the two get on the elevator in the lobby, and looked at Lin Xian with a mischievous smile, "Hehehe, you've got it made, Lin Xian! Tang Xin hasn't looked at me once from beginning to end! It's obvious she's here for you!"

"I was wondering why Tang Xin immediately replied to you by name as soon as you popped up in the class group... I bet she's been keeping an eye on you! If you hadn't said that, Tang Xin probably wouldn't have come back today!"

Lin Xian didn't say anything.

He and Gao Yang were so familiar that there was no need to beat around the bush.

He wasn't stupid...

How could he not see Tang Xin's enthusiasm towards him?

Anyone with eyes could see that she was here for him.

But...

Why?

What was the reason?

Recalling that Tang Xin seemed to want to say something to him just now, but was interrupted by Gao Yang's scream.

"You..."

Lin Xian helplessly glanced at Gao Yang.

This guy was like a fat cat in some things, more of a hindrance than a help.

He looked at the crumpled list in Gao Yang's hand, "You've confirmed it, right? Everyone's here, right?"

Gao Yang looked at the list one last time, nodded, folded it up, and put it in his pocket, "A total of 41 people, all here, more than expected... Fortunately, there are four large tables in the private room, enough to seat everyone."

"Then let's go up too."

……

The largest private room on the second floor was bustling with noise.

Classmates who hadn't seen each other in five years were chatting non-stop, full of joy and happiness.

Everyone formed groups according to how close they were in the past, and men and women sat around the four tables, smiling happily.

Zhou Duanyun was undoubtedly the focus of the entire room, surrounded by a group of male and female classmates, "Zhou Duanyun, is that Rolls-Royce yours! We were looking down from upstairs just now and talking about whose it was... You've really made a fortune in the past few years!"

"Hahahaha, Brother Duanyun, everyone's only been out of college for a short time, where did you get so much money? Right after the college entrance exam, someone said you won the lottery, is it true?"

"Yes, yes, and some people said that you didn't go to college and went to do pyramid schemes... Which is true! If there's any legitimate way to make money, you can't forget your classmates, hahaha."

Zhou Duanyun remained unchanged, still maintaining a faint smile, patting the shoulder of the male classmate next to him, "It's all my fault for not communicating with everyone enough in high school, which led to so many misunderstandings about me... I've indeed made a lot of money these years, and there are many rumors, but I certainly can't do anything crooked. There must be principles in making money."

……

Zhou Duanyun's answer was indeed quite skillful.

In fact, Lin Xian was also very curious about how Zhou Duanyun made so much money, and pricked up his ears to listen.

Unfortunately, he just played tai chi, deflecting everything with soft force, seemingly answering, but actually saying nothing, truly understanding the art of dodging.

Lin Xian didn't have a deep impression of Zhou Duanyun.

Although they were classmates for three years in high school, he had always been shrinking in the corner, his academic performance was not good, his family conditions were not good, he wore ragged clothes, and he didn't have any friends.

Lin Xian didn't remember talking to Zhou Duanyun, or if he did, it wasn't much, so Lin Xian was still a little surprised that Zhou Duanyun recognized him right away.

"Okay, okay! Everyone's here! Everyone quickly find a seat!"

Gao Yang shouted for everyone to be seated.

He directly pressed Tang Xin into the seat next to Lin Xian's left, "Tang Xin, you sit next to Lin Xian. I don't think you're very familiar with the others. You and Lin Xian can chat more."

"Thank you, Class Monitor." Tang Xin also smiled naturally, sitting next to Lin Xian.

The four tables of classmates were quickly arranged by Gao Yang.

Basically, there were two tables of male classmates, one table of female classmates, and then Lin Xian and Gao Yang's table was mixed with men and women, about fifty-fifty.

In addition to Lin Xian, Gao Yang, Zhou Duanyun, Tang Xin, and the Xia-style twins, there were also two men and two women, who were all good friends in high school and were basically class cadres, so they naturally sat at the same table.

After Gao Yang's very formal speech, the class reunion officially began. Everyone briefly introduced themselves, and the waiters began to push the pre-prepared dishes in cart after cart, and opened the red wine and white wine in turn, pouring them into decanters and wine glasses. The atmosphere in the room instantly became lively.

After the last hot dish was served, several waiters refilled tea for the guests and retreated.

Bang!

The door of the private room closed, and the waiters left, allowing this group of classmates who hadn't seen each other for a long time to chat about the past.

"Tang Xin, what are you doing in the States? Are you still continuing your studies?"

After a few rounds of wine, everyone at the table became much more familiar with Tang Xin and began to chat with her proactively.

"I'm doing research in a research institute, following my college professor."

Tang Xin's face was flushed after a few glasses of red wine, "But after the New Year, I'm going back to the East Sea. A very famous figure in the pharmaceutical industry invited me to do research at his institute. I hesitated for a long time... but finally agreed."

"That's right!"

Gao Yang laughed and raised his wine glass, "Welcome the scientist back to the country!"

"Class monitor, I can't be considered a scientist... I'm just a researcher."

"Then welcome back to the country! It's better to keep any research results in China! Come on, let's toast Tang Xin!"

Gao Yang deserved to be in sales, a professional atmosphere-maker, able to get everyone to drink to any reason.

Celebrating the New Year.

Celebrating the fifth anniversary.

Celebrating Thursday, etc...

Of the four tables, their table was drinking the fastest.

Picking up his wine glass, Lin Xian looked at Tang Xin, "What field are you researching?"

"Hibernation."

Lin Xian's wine glass froze in mid-air.

"Hibernation? Like Professor Xu Yun?"

"I'm far from Professor Xu Yun..." Tang Xin took a sip of red wine and smiled at Lin Xian, "Professor Xu Yun is really great. His invention has completely changed many research fields. Lin Xian, you may not pay much attention to this, but now the scientific community, both at home and abroad, is like celebrating the New Year... There are new discoveries every day, and new breakthroughs every day."

"My research is mainly in the field of drugs, but it just happens to have a miraculous effect on solving the side effects of hibernation, and it only has this one effect... So I also have to thank Professor Xu Yun, otherwise I wouldn't have this kind of treatment today."

Side effects of hibernation.

"Can it solve amnesia?" Lin Xian asked.

Tang Xin was quite surprised, "Lin Xian, I didn't expect you to really have some research on hibernation. Do you usually pay attention to this kind of news?"

"I saw it by chance." Lin Xian glossed over it, "So, the drug you're researching can solve the problem of hibernation amnesia? Then I guess your next Nobel Prize may be yours."

Tang Xin laughed, "If it can really solve the problem of amnesia, then maybe it can really win the Nobel Prize."

"But unfortunately, Lin Xian... The side effect of amnesia, as far as I can see, is probably impossible to solve. It's a problem with the underlying mechanism of the brain's nerves, and no drug can solve this."

"Moreover, the side effects of hibernation are not just amnesia. Relatively speaking, the side effect of amnesia actually doesn't have any harm to the body itself. In our research field, we don't even consider defining amnesia as a side effect."

"I understand."

Sure enough, different situations lead to different perspectives.

For Professor Xu Yun, amnesia was a huge side effect, and he couldn't accept it at all.

But for Tang Xin and other "pharmaceutical research scholars," amnesia couldn't even be considered a side effect... Perhaps because amnesia doesn't harm the body itself, especially for patients like Xu Yiyi, this side effect of amnesia is irrelevant.

"So, hibernation actually has other side effects, the kind that are harmful to the body."

"That's right."

Tang Xin nodded, "So I'm very honored to be able to come to this research institute in Donghai City."

"Shouldn't it be their honor?"

"You're joking, Lin Xian. This research institute is different."

Tang Xin's eyes sparkled with intoxicating light as she looked up at Lin Xian, "You'll never guess who invited me to this research institute. This research institute is his private research institute, but in terms of industry status, it's no less than many national-level research institutes."

"Then I definitely can't guess." Lin Xian smiled, put down his wine glass, and wiped his hands with a wet towel, "Listening to you, it must be an expert with a lot of background internationally, right?"

"That's right, but he has another more important identity."

Tang Xin smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Lin Xian, and whispered, "He was Professor Xu Yun's former mentor."

……

Xu Yun's mentor.

Lin Xian rubbed his hands with a towel, recalling what Zhao Yingjun had said, that Professor Xu Yun was ostracized and abandoned by his relatives because he stubbornly researched hibernation pods, and not only was he expelled from his teacher's school, but even the students under him left him.

Now that Xu Yun had achieved results, he had the nerve to call himself Xu Yun's mentor?

"Then didn't you ask him why he expelled Xu Yun from his school back then?" Lin Xian asked with a smile.

Thinking of Xu Yun who died tragically in the street, Lin Xian didn't have a good impression of this so-called mentor.

"I can't bring up the past, can I?"

Tang Xin smiled helplessly, "But looking at the expression of this teacher when he mentioned Xu Yun... I think he must be very sad too."

"Hey! What are you two whispering about! Drink up!"

Gao Yang's yell interrupted the two's whispers.

Lin Xian and Tang Xin looked up and found that all the students at the table were holding up their wine glasses and waiting for them.

"Didn't we just drink?"

Lin Xian was really speechless to Gao Yang, "What's the reason for this glass? What are we celebrating?"

"Celebrating this moment!"

"And the next moment?"

"The next moment is the next glass!"

Amidst a burst of laughter, everyone raised their glasses together and drank another glass to celebrate this very full moment.

They really drank a lot today.

Gao Yang had just burped when a waiter walked over behind him and bent down, "Mr. Gao, we need to confirm with you, is the snow pear and bird's nest porridge definitely 41 bowls?"

"Yes."

Gao Yang turned his head and looked at the waiter in confusion, "One bowl for each person, 41 bowls, is there a problem?"

"But..."

The waiter looked embarrassed, straightened up, and looked at the noisy private room, "But there are clearly 42 people in this room..."
