Chapter 16 Separation
Chen Dai allocated ten people from the laboratory to Li Xu to set up the "Female High-Yield Corn Project", and Li Xu was also promoted from an ordinary researcher to the project director. The start-up capital of the project was temporarily advanced by Li Xu.
Until late at night, Li Xu was still working in the laboratory.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Chen Dai is holding a cucumber and gnawing on it.
"Give it to me, I haven't eaten yet." Li Xu put his hand in front of Chen Dai.
In the face of such a shameless person, Chen Dai could only put down the half-gnawed cucumber.
"I'm going in a good direction." Li Xu didn't care, and gnawed it directly.
"Blind toss." Chen Dai said mercilessly.
"Excessive." Li Xu scolded with a smile.
"It's too late for you to return to the rice project team now, how about I promote you to deputy project director?" Chen Dai didn't give up, and still wanted Li Xu to go back.
"Xiao Dai, how about we go to dinner together after work?" Li Xu did not explicitly refuse.
"Okay, but I'm in for a treat, and your savings are all invested in the project." Chen Dai couldn't be questioned.
Li Xu finished his work and found that the sky was already full of stars. And the city is still like daylight, and the streets are still crowded. In the previous life, most people worked during the day and rested at night, and unlike in the previous life, the city in the latter life was running at high speed 24 hours a day. Most jobs are in three shifts, and the schedule is different for everyone. The abundance of combustible ice in the South China Sea makes the city no longer dark at night, and every part of the city is lit up. Day and night are just a symbol that no longer restricts human activity.
In the previous life, the city's electricity consumption during the day was the peak, and the electricity consumption at night was the trough, but in the later life, it did not exist. Electricity consumption in later generations was basically stable.
Two beautiful women walk down the street with bags on their backs, and the balance bike automatically follows behind.
"Xiao Dai, do you live in the company?" Li Xu found that in the past, Chen Dai walked to the company after eating.
"yes, you know, it's really sad. I know you live in Block 1 212 and live with the Executive. Chen Dai said quietly.
"Sorry, I'm not very good at it...... That's not cohabitation, it's a shared house. Li Xu retorted.
"It's not the same, it's just a different term."
"Do you mind if I leave the project?" Li Xu turned his face slightly and stared at Chen Dai's eyes with his residual vision.
"Yes, it's clear that the two of them have worked together well, but you suddenly asked to leave, I thought I was doing something wrong." Chen Dai's tone was sad.
"Sometimes 1+1 is not equal to 2, it is enough for the rice project team to have you, and you have made new discoveries in the past two years of research, which I think is of great significance to the current academic community. I've only been in the team for two months, and once you've promoted me to deputy supervisor, not only will I not be convinced by others, but I'll also take the credit from you. Li Xu expressed another layer of his concerns.
Chen Dai's research in the past two years has not been in vain, although the C4 rice has not been successful, but through the study of rice, a miraculous phenomenon has been discovered. The discovery of this phenomenon is comparable to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, a phenomenon that was actually discovered by a woman in a previous life, but because of the impact of mass extinction, many academics have been lost. makes Chen Dai's discovery the first time for human beings now.
Such an important academic achievement is the credit of Chen Dai and the rest of the laboratory, and Li Xu cannot steal this achievement with a clear conscience. The discovery of dioecious corn plants has given Li Xu a new direction, which can not only form a double insurance for the company, but also avoid the suspicion of stealing results.
"Do you really think so?" Chen Dai stopped, looked at Li Xu's eyes and said.
It was her heart disease, and for two years there was no success in C4 rice. When she first joined the company, she was full of spirit, and her success in her studies made her believe that she could replicate this success in her career. At the age of 18, he was valued by CEO Sky and promoted to the director of the company's key project C4 rice, and a year later he was promoted to technical director.
But in the past two years, Chen Dai has not achieved any practical results except for some strange phenomena, which has caused dissatisfaction among shareholders who have invested a lot of money in key projects, and finally chose Yuka as the new CEO. The partner who once joined the company together is now ahead of herself, so how can Chen Dai not be anxious.
That's why I attach so much importance to Li Xu, hoping that Li Xu can help me conquer carbon four rice. Unexpectedly, Li Xu chose corn halfway and went out independently, so how could Chen Dai not be disappointed. Now Li Xu actually said that her new discovery has great significance, which surprised Chen Dai very much.
"Yes, the retrotranscription transposon phenomenon you observed is currently not recorded in other literature, which can be said to be a major discovery and an important theory that can be rewritten in the current academic community." Li Xu said seriously.
"I know it's your words of encouragement, but I'm still happy." Chen Dai's heart warmed, and tears rolled in her eyes. After so many years of hard work, someone finally agreed.
"More than just encouragement, you will find that writing an article and sending it to Hinai, the editor-in-chief of New Cell magazine, should be successful." Li Xu knew that Chen Dai didn't understand the importance of her discovery for the time being, so it was best to let Rina convince her personally.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Chen Dai regained her composure and said solemnly.
"Goo~Goo~Goo." The sound of belly screaming came from Chen Dai's lower abdomen.
"Haha."
"Hahaha. Go, I'm starving to death. ”
The two held hands and walked into the Kelaixiang Hotel with a smile.
"It's been a long time since I've seen two beauties." The 25-year-old Kelaixiang boss Caocao was about to go out to attend an academic conference and met Li Xu and Chen Dai.
"Long time no see, Boss Grass." Chen Dai is in a good mood.
"Today, our store has launched a two-person package activity, there is a discount, do you want to give it a try?"
"Okay."
The robot waiter brings up the base of the Tai Chi shaped pot, arranges a variety of vegetables and meats, and finally places a sundae ice cream and inserts a double straw.
Chen Dai's eyes saw that the menu said "Couple Meal for Two", and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
"Do you have enough savings to support the corn project?" Chen Dai said with concern.
"I have a way." Li Xu smiled mysteriously, "As mentioned in the previous report to the executive officer, my savings are just advances. ”
"Oh, you can still make money out of thin air?" Chen Dai sandwiched the spinach into the spicy pot and gently soaked it a few times, and put it in her mouth with the fragrant rice. The crispness of the spinach and the sweet rice, mixed with the spicy pot juice, suddenly made Chen Dai look happy, "It's delicious." ”
"I have two projects, one is a new type of corn and the other is to increase the yield by removing the emasculation. The executive allocated me a floor of the farm to conduct a de-emasculation trial, after which the profits from the increase were transferred to the new corn project. This is the main source of funds in the future, using corn to raise corn. Li Xu raised her head and said, this is her proud work.
"That's good, so as not to share from me if the funds are insufficient in the later stage." Chen Dai's face was flat, and then he thought of something. A smile appeared and he looked at Li Xu with expectant eyes and said: "If the technology of increasing production is successful, it can be promoted to three three-dimensional farms, so that your project team can get more funds, and you should be able to give us a little." ”
"Ah, Xiao Dai, I can't see it, I'm putting my mind on my project." Li Xu glanced at Chen Dai unceremoniously.
"Haha." Chen Dai smiled happily.
