Gu Caizhe's death did not have much impact on the school, and out of respect for a professor, everyone spontaneously attended his funeral.

This lonely old man has dedicated his life to scientific research, and when he leaves, he has no children to see him off, and it is inevitable that he will look a little bleak.

Gu Caizhe's death marked the possibility that his research project would be interrupted, and his best students and assistants, Shen Bing and Yu Man, were undoubtedly the saddest in the entire school.

The two good friends walked into the laboratory they had been working hard for a year, looking at the various instruments and bottles and cans in the laboratory, and they were full of unforgettable memories.

There are sweet and sour memories of bitterness and tears, and although the project was not successful, they learned a lot here.

"Bingbing, I can't believe it, Professor Gu just left. ”

Although Yu Man sometimes has few roots, his obsession with traditional Chinese medicine is not inferior to Shen Bing, and because of the influence of Gu Caizhe, Yu Man has secretly vowed to devote himself to the research of traditional Chinese medicine in this life for the benefit of the people.

Shen Bing walked to Gu Caizhe's desk, and there was a photo on the table, in which Shen Bing and Yu Man were one on one side, hugging Gu Caizhe and smiling happily.

It was taken last year when there was a breakthrough in research, and everyone went out to celebrate it.

"It's ridiculous to say. ”

Shen Bing often said this.

An old man, not alone, was not a family member, but his own students were not on the table.

This may be the most failed place in Gu Caizhe's life, and it has also laid the groundwork for his tragic death.

Shen Bing picked up the photo and gently wiped the dust on it. In the past, this matter was done by Gu Caizhe himself, but now it can only be done by students.

"Here you go, maybe it's better for you to hold it. ”

Shen Bing gave the photo to Yu Man, who took it with both hands and carefully put it into his backpack.

"It's so depressing, I didn't expect it to be over so soon. ”

"Yes, it's a little uncomfortable to be as noisy as the old man. ”

Shen Bing said and picked up a simple black fountain pen on the table, this pen Gu Caizhe had used for thirty years, and said that it was the last birthday gift that his wife gave him before she died.

Maybe the teacher is working so hard, but he just doesn't want anyone like him, watching the person he loves the most leave but can't do anything.

Shen Bing thought.

"The pen is mine. ”

Yu Man nodded, there was no objection, these were the most precious memories for them.

"Bingbing, who do you think will use this laboratory in the future?"

Yu Man walked to another workbench, which she was responsible for, and every instrument and bottle on it...... She has stroked it I don't know how many times, and its familiarity is far greater than that of her own skirt and mobile phone.

"Hehe, I don't know, anyway, no matter who uses it, this is the last time we'll be here, hurry up and clean up." ”

Yu Man didn't clean up, but sat down, leaned in front of a microscope, as if he had worked before, debugging little by little, as if he wanted to regain the feeling of the past through this microscope.

"Bingbing, how about we apply to the school with the teacher's project?"

"What to apply for?" Shen Bing asked differently.

"I beg the university not to cut the project and send a new professor to continue the teacher's research. The data is all readily available, so that we don't have to leave here, and I want to fulfill the teacher's last wish. ”

Yu Man turned his head silently, looking at Shen Bing helplessly with a pair of eyes that were a little red because of excessive sadness.

The two have been friends for many years, and no matter what they do, it has always been Shen Bing's final decision, but this time, Shen Bing felt that she couldn't refuse Yu Man, even if she thought that Yu Man's idea was too impulsive, and no one would take on a completely unfamiliar project.

"Manman, your proposal is good, but we still have a problem to face. ”

"What?"

"Investors. In the past, investors kept investing money because of their teachers, so even if we find other professors to continue this research, how can we convince investors?"

Yu Man fell into deep thought.

This is a very tricky question, and to put it bluntly, you can't do anything without money.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door to the lab.

Normally, no one would come here, except for the two of them, there would be basically no third person now.

Shen Bing and Yu Man turned their heads to look at the door together, only to see an old man wearing a white coat, with a little bald head, leaning over, and his hair slightly reddened walked in.

"I'm sorry, we'll pack up and leave, and the lab will be freed up tomorrow. ”

Yu Man's tone was stiff and even a little repulsive, she didn't like a stranger coming here, just like she didn't like the bank to take her house because she couldn't pay the loan.

Still, she was polite, at least in her words.

The old man probably didn't expect that there were other people in the house, so he was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled, although people are a little older, but it seems that the old people have a commonality, that is, they are very kind when they laugh.

"You're Shen Bing and Yu Man, right?"

Shen Bing and Yu Man obviously didn't expect such a stranger to call out the names of the two as soon as he opened his mouth, and they were both stunned for a moment.

"Who are you?"

Shen Bing has always been very calm, not as sentimental as Yu Man, she can't go crazy with Yu Man, someone has to take on the role of taking care of her, so Shen Bing quickly raised her own questions.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, my surname is fire, the fire of slash-and-burn farming, and my name is Jackie Chan. I just saw the information of the two of you from Dean Sun. ”

Shen Bing nodded, but his eyes were still full of suspicion.

"Don't get me wrong. Huo Chenglong waved his hand again and again.

"I'm here to replace Professor Gu Caizhe, I've read all the research materials of Professor Gu Caizhe, and I'm very interested, so I want to invite the two of you to continue to be my assistants, first, you are more familiar with it, and second, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of Lao Gu's last wish. ”

Hearing this, Yu Man, who was still slightly stunned just now, jumped up from the chair as if he had been suddenly woken up from a dream, and shouted as if he was a little too happy.

"Professor Huo, is what you said true? Can you really continue the teacher's research?"

"Yes, yes, I have been good friends with Lao Gu for many years, and I suddenly received the bad news of his death, and I still feel like a dream, if I can complete this project, it can be regarded as an explanation to my old friend, and when I get to the bottom, I can still invite him to invite merit, let him invite me to drink, hahaha......"

Huo Chenglong's words rekindled Yu Man's hope, Yu Man took Shen Bing's hand like a child and smiled happily, not giving Shen Bing a chance to refuse at all.

It's just that Shen Bing felt very strange, since the professor in front of him was a friend of the teacher, why had he never heard the teacher mention it? Since he was a friend, why didn't he come to the teacher's funeral? The teacher had just left not long ago, and he could find a successor so quickly, was the department's decision too fast? And one more thing, how did the investor get through the hurdle? This is not something that can be done by going to the street to buy tofu and seeing whose tofu is good.

Shen Bing decided to investigate this Fire Professor to see what was going on.
