This price finally caused Nan Zhiyi to put down his chopsticks and turn his head to look at him in some surprise.

"Ten million a year?" Nan Zhiyi repeated what he had just said.

"Yes!" Wang Dongxu nodded, "Everyone is a person in this circle, and you must know that among the scholars introduced from abroad, the highest value is like this." I inquired, what Funan University gave you is only 800,000 yuan a year for Changjiang scholars, and the rest is some small money, as well as the income of horizontal capital projects. Not only did we promise the guaranteed 10 million, but also the project funds, which can be said to be very generous. ”

Seeing that Nan Zhiyi was silent and did not answer, there was obviously a meaning of "you are about to say the second half" in his eyes, Wang Dongxu had no choice but to say the additional conditions: "However, your organizational relationship must also be turned around, not as an expert in soft introduction." ”

"Oh," Nan Zhiyi nodded, "In other words, I don't have to go back to Funan University again." ”

"Yes," Wang Dongxu pushed his glasses, seeing that Nan Zhiyi's words seemed to be loosened, and he hurriedly waved a small shovel to step up the efforts to dig the foot of the wall: "Although Funan University has a century-old history, a good reputation, and good experimental conditions, when it comes to attaching importance to talents, it may not be as good as our newly established schools." ”

Nan Zhiyi was silent again, his slender fingers rubbing his chin.

"Or ......" Wang Dongxu raised his eyes to observe his expression, and saw that the other party didn't seem to have any special reaction, so he increased his bargaining chips: "Our principal also said that if you are willing to stay, the position of the vice president of our college is also yours." ”

This time while the iron is hot, Wang Dongxu's eyes are bound to be light.

The annual salary has increased more than tenfold, the project funds promised by the president are managed loosely, the title of vice president is easy to get in hand, and there is a special green fast track for approving experimental equipment.

Such generous conditions are really unheard of by him, if it weren't for the fact that Qiongzhou had to gather the strength of the whole province and had to build a nationally renowned comprehensive university, so he would not have had the courage to offer such a treatment that can be said to be full of blood.

As for whether it will be lost in the future, it is not within the scope of his consideration for the time being.

South China's rice industry is in its own right, with a warm climate and three seasons a year, but because of the short growth cycle, rice is far inferior in taste to japonica rice in the north.

And the hybrid and transgenic technology that Nanzhiyi is good at is exactly what they need. If the taste of rice seeds can be improved through his research, then the day when South China rice will be invincible may not be worth looking forward to.

And if he can succeed in "making stars" and increase the influence of the Tropical Agriculture and Forestry College and even the entire South China faction, it is very promising.

Wang Dongxu was still thinking about what was wrong, and Nan Zhiyi finally spoke: "To be honest, there are more than ten invitations to me to change schools every year, and the conditions you offer are really unheard of." ”

There's a play! Wang Dongxu's eyes lit up.

However, then Nan Zhiyi poured cold water on him without hesitation: "However, I still can't stay." I'm going back to Funan. ”

Wang Dongxu opened his mouth wide and cried with a sad face: "Why? Could it be that the conditions are not good enough? ”

He was a little crazy, such a condition was already the bottom line that he could promise within his ability, and it was impossible to increase the weight upwards.

Nan Zhiyi smiled lightly: "No, it's really much better than my conditions in Funan." ”

Wang Dongxu nodded quickly, his injured heart was slightly soothed, and then asked, "Then what are you not satisfied with?" You bring it up, and we'll discuss everything. ”

"It's not negotiable," Nan Zhiyi lowered his head, while eating the rice that the waiter had just served, he shook his head lightly: "There are people in Funan waiting for me to go back, and I promised her, so I can't promise you." ”

Seeing that his hopes were disappointed, and carefully observing that Nan Zhiyi really didn't look like he was trying to increase his price again, Wang Dongxu made the last struggle with a bitter face: "So you really don't think about it anymore?" ”

Nan Zhiyi nodded seriously: "I really don't think about it, I will speed up the progress of the project and come up with a phased result as soon as possible for you to make a difference." Also, I know what you're worried about, although the anti-plague factor is only a prototype, I know it in my heart. You just have to do it, and if you have any difficulties, just consult me directly. ”

After a two-second pause, he continued: "It's free." ”

After all, Wang Dongxu and Nan Zhiyi have been together for a while, and seeing that he has made up his mind, he can't say anything.

If you want to deal with Nanzhiyi, it's actually very simple, you just need to say your purpose generously, and he will give you a quick reply, and definitely don't waste everyone's time in circles.

But it's hard to say, because he is too frank, but it makes people suspicious, thinking that people are trying to get away with it, so that many people who think they are smart are surrounded by their own brain supplies, and in the end, everyone is in a deep place.

Wang Dongxu actually appreciates such a personality, but if there is no personality that matches his strength, then he is called it.

He leaned over with some curiosity: "You said that someone is waiting for you, who is it?" Girlfriend? ”

Nan Zhiyi stagnated with the spoon and scooped the rice, and immediately shook his head and denied: "No." ”

Wang Dongxu obviously noticed that his expression was wrong, his eyes were full of doubt, and he asked unrelentingly: "Really, isn't it?" If it's a girlfriend, our school can also solve work problems together. ”

Nan Zhiyi had returned to his normal state, smiling reservedly and detachedly: "It's really not, there is a tomato seedling waiting for me to go back and take care of it." ”

Nan Zhiyi's tone of obviously reluctant to say deeply, Wang Dongxu naturally didn't want to ask more, raised his chopsticks and played the round: "Don't say it, don't say it, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" ”

Nan Zhiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The three words of girlfriend spit out of Wang Dongxu's mouth were obviously guessing, but they inexplicably made him feel a little flustered.

At the end of the meal, Nan Zhiyi did not let Wang Dongxu send it, walked back to the small suite rented by the school to him with long legs, endured the humid and stuffy weather, and walked back to the small suite rented by the school.

He walked slowly, arriving almost two hours later, and by the time he got downstairs it was nearly ten o'clock.

Unexpectedly, under the street lamp in front of the building, there stood a person he had never thought he would meet there.

Mu Chenghua smiled and stretched his eyebrows, but his eyebrows and eyes were very light, and he didn't look very good-looking, and even felt a little smiling.

He said, "Xiao Yi, meet again." ”

"Why are you here?" Nan Zhiyi stood five or six meters away from him, held back the displeasure in his heart, and asked coldly.

Mu Chenghua calculated him for five years, just because his views were different from those of his teacher, he instigated a huge seed industry group against him with interests, and he had to put him to death, even if Nan Zhiyi was open-minded, it was impossible not to mind.

Mu Chenghua knew that Nan Zhiyi did not welcome him, and took the initiative to say: "I'm going back to Australia, maybe I won't meet again in the future. ”

Seeing that Nan Zhiyi was expressionless, he added: "Just say two words, I will never entangle after I finish speaking." ”

After looking at him fixedly for dozens of seconds, Nan Zhiyi spoke: "Say it." ”

"Xiao Yi, welcome back." Mu Chenghua made a welcoming gesture with his arms slightly open, and then said, "I'm very happy that you're back again." ”

Nan Zhiyi's eyes tightened, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Mu Chenghua hooked the corners of his mouth: "Didn't you start making rice again?" The reason why I've done so much is actually to get you out of the horns, just to see this day. ”

Nan Zhiyi's face was full of astonishment: "What the hell are you doing?" ”

"Let you see the reality clearly, Xiao Yi." Mu Chenghua said with a smile, "What kind of face do you have when you are a farmer who thinks about them wholeheartedly, and you only know how to blackmail you?" There are also those profit-hungry businessmen, calculating that you use you, and once you get in their way, you can use any means, and there is no lower limit. ”

"Aren't you the one who does whatever it takes and has no lower limit?" Nan Zhiyi sneered coldly, "Isn't it you who wants to kill all conventional rice and grasp the lifeblood of the rice industry?" ”

Mu Chenghua's expression remained unchanged, and he answered his question: "You think wrong Xiao Yi, if I hadn't asked Zuo Qingshan to deliberately make unreasonable moves to let you know that the inside line was him, and deliberately sent to the door to be photographed by you?" Do you think reconciliation would be so easy? ”

He looked at the slightly stunned expression in Nan Zhiyi's eyes with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "Xiao Yi, I just want you to become stronger." ”

Nan Zhiyi's eyes were slightly empty.

What does Mu Chenghua mean by this? He already knew the layout behind it, and he also knew their means of counterattack for a long time?

What the hell is he trying to do? made such a big lawsuit and almost pushed him into a dilemma, is it just because of a whim?

"Mu Chenghua." Nan Zhiyi laughed angrily: "You buried this easter egg really deep enough." ”

Mu Chenghua slowly put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of solemnity: "Xiao Yi, listen to my words and study attentively according to the path pointed out by the teacher." Ten years, no, maybe only five years, you will be able to breed the perfect super rice, accept the admiration and worship of all people, and at that time, no one will be able to touch you in the slightest. ”

"Are you crazy?" Nan Zhiyi was stunned: "Why are you so obsessed with super rice?" ”

Mu Chenghua touched his chin: "Maybe I'm crazy, there are many crazy people like me, either for fame or profit, but I'm for your good." ”

Nan Zhiyi sneered: "For my good? What nonsense are you talking about? ”

He replied, "For your own good, of course." Everyone says you don't know the sufferings of the world, but I know your pains and struggles. ”

Nan Zhiyi's eyes were dark, and he looked at the street lamp behind him silently, and did not speak.

Mu Chenghua tilted his head to look at him, and suddenly smiled: "How long are you going to hide?" How long are you going to pretend you're like them? ”

"You only said two sentences, and now it's more than two." Nan Zhiyi suddenly turned his head and coldly ordered the eviction.

Mu Chenghua didn't get entangled, and after a simple "goodbye", he turned around and left.

But the last time he turned around to look at Nan Zhiyi before leaving, it made people shudder.

At that glance, Nan Zhiyi's heart beat wildly, and he stood in the stairwell for more than ten minutes before he stabilized his mind.

He rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the discomfort of the sudden throbbing pain there, but it didn't work, but the crook of his arm began to itch again.

He frowned and scratched the few bags that had just been bitten by mosquitoes, the more he scratched, the more irritable he became, and suddenly remembered the anti-itch cream that Ling Li had sent him a few days ago, and he almost ran upstairs.

When he opened the door and entered the house, Nan Zhiyi just took two steps to turn on the light, but tripped over the pile of debris at the door. Fortunately, he held his hand on the floor in time, so that he was not too embarrassed.

The impact of the fall made his wrist holding his body hurt a little, and he grinned and rubbed his wrist, turned over and sat slowly on the floor, a little distracted.

Mu Chenghua's last words made him uneasy, and also reminded him of some things that were a long time ago.

The sound of the door made the woman lying on the sofa snort a few times, and said in a daze: "Back?" ”

"Hmm." He woke up from his memories and whispered a soft reply, then slowly stood up and walked into the living room.

The air conditioning in the room was a little too much, and he was drenched in sweat, and at this time, the cool breeze blew, and his nose was a little itchy, so it was easy to hold back his sneezing.

Through the street lamp of the floor-to-ceiling window, the woman on the sofa, wearing only a vest and shorts, hugged a long snake-shaped pillow, turned over and buried her head in the pillow, and fell asleep again.

He shook his head, picked up the blanket by the couch, put it over the sleeping woman, covered her long bare legs, and picked up her dropped phone on the ground and put it on the coffee table.

I looked sideways, but I saw the familiar silhouette of a woman in the dim light.

Dreaming back at midnight, Nan Zhiyi sat up from the bed abruptly, panting in the darkness, his back was covered with cold sweat, and his heart seemed to jump out of his chest.

I don't know how long he sat there, but his beating heart slowly calmed down, and the mournful meow of a wild cat outside the window, and the slight breathing of someone sleeping in the direction of the living room, finally pulled him back to reality.

But when I closed my eyes, the scarlet red in my mind just now seemed to appear in front of me, intense and real.

A bloodstained room, a pink mass on the floor, I don't know if it's minced meat or internal organs, the figure of a woman falling from a high altitude......

Messy pictures, entangled memories, former childhood.

Why did he start having this nightmare that had haunted him for so many years?

This is already the second time this year.

He clenched his hands into fists on the pillow, but he still couldn't stop shaking a little.

In front of him, the beautiful face that seemed to emerge crying and screaming at him.

Her little face was covered with crystal tears, and she roared hoarsely: "Nan Zhiyi, don't you have a heart? ”

In the darkness, he chuckled, "Yes, there is no heart. ”

Over the years, it has been too smooth, and there have been all kinds of people around him, even if he is calculated, someone will soon come out to support him.

Therefore, he almost forgot what kind of person he used to be, and he almost forgot because his existence brought those pains and struggles to others.

Nan Zhiyi closed his eyes again, only to feel that the darkness around him was like thick ink, as if it was about to swallow him.
