Chapter 243 Returning Home After Studying
Ning Jingmo didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he could tell that Xia Songlan was in a bad mood.
He reached out and grabbed Xia Songlan's hand and squeezed it hard.
Xia Songlan looked over in surprise.
Ning Jingmo smiled brightly in return and consoled him, "Don't worry, I'm here. That kid can't do anything."
Xia Songlan bit her lower lip and shook her head. "I'm not worried, I just feel a little regretful. Why did I do that in the first place? I got myself into trouble with this guy."
Ning Jingmo raised his hand and ruffled Xia Songlan's hair. "Don't let your imagination run wild. If time could go back, you would still save him."
Xia Songlan had to admit that Ning Jingmo really understood her. If time could go back, she might still go to save Shen Junrui, who was isolated and helpless, badly beaten, and still refused to beg for mercy.
After figuring it out, his drooped shoulders straightened up and he sighed, "It seems this is my fate."
Ning Jingmo shook his head in disagreement, "Don't forget, we are the Chinese of the new era, and we firmly believe that our destiny is determined by ourselves, not by God.
We can fight against the sky, the earth, and the invaders, so why can't we fight against fate?
Besides, I don't even take Shen Junrui seriously. I won't let him harass you again while I'm here."
Encouraged by him, Xia Songlan's mood recovered a little.
Considering that they still had to go to An County, they stayed for a few more days before bidding farewell to Wang Qiuping and Ning Shenghe and boarding a train heading south.
Wang Qiuping was reluctant to leave and prepared a lot of things for them to take away.
But Ning Shenghe stopped him, "They still have to go to An County, it's not convenient to carry so many things, why don't we pack them and mail them to the Jingshi compound."
Wang Qiuping, "Oh, that's fine too, go ahead and have fun.
I will pack up all the things I prepared for you and mail them back. By the time you return from An County, the things may have arrived in Jing City."
The night before leaving, Ning Shenghe called Ning Jingmo to the study, and the two talked for a long time. When they came out again, Ning Jingmo's eyes became more determined.
The journey to An County is farther than the journey to Beicheng, so they still bought a soft sleeper and did not meet any acquaintances along the way.
When they arrived at the train station, Zhang Beichen, who had received a call in advance, was already waiting for them at the station.
He came over and extended his hand to Ning Jingmo first, and Ning Jingmo also shook hands with him.
Zhang Beichen smiled and said enthusiastically: "Welcome, welcome. I've been waiting for you to come."
The itinerary in An County is very tight, unlike when we were in Beicheng where we could travel and have fun, we could just treat it as a vacation.
Everything here is very busy and every moment is arranged in an orderly manner by Zhang Beichen.
Ning Jingmo knew that Xia Songlan was busy, so he took the initiative to take responsibility for taking care of the two children.
He said to Xia Songlan, "Don't worry, you and Beichen can go and do the work. I won't get involved. I'll just take the kids for a walk around the area."
For three whole days, except for coming back to sleep at night, Xia Songlan spent the time with Zhang Beichen inspecting the production base, farmers and plantations.
Xia Songlan saw that what was originally just a plan in her mind turned into a real scene before her eyes. It would be a lie to say that she was not shocked.
There were several times when I was so excited that I almost cried.
That day they stood on the top of the mountain, with endless medicinal fields before them.
Zhang Beichen asked: "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, much better than expected. Cousin, thanks to you, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to achieve this."
Zhang Beichen turned around and looked at Xia Songlan, "No, Songlan, I should thank you. Without your plan, none of this would exist, and everywhere would still be wasteland.
With our herbal medicine production base, the average income of herbal farmers this year has increased by 30% compared to last year.
I believe that by next year, our profits will be even more substantial, and the incomes of those herbal farmers who work hard with us will also increase significantly.
I used to be a businessman, I only focused on profit and had a short-sighted vision. But after hearing what you said at my uncle's house last time, I suddenly understood. "
Zhang Beichen looked into the distance and said after a long while: "I believe that one day, we will be remembered by people."
Three days later, they boarded the train back to Beijing as scheduled.
During these three days, Ning Jingmo did not disturb Xia Songlan, nor did he pay attention to her whereabouts, nor did he ask about matters at the base.
It was like a real trip, taking the two children for a stroll and having a lot of fun playing with them.
Xia Songlan gained a lot and made some suggestions before leaving. Zhang Beichen wrote them down one by one and prepared to put them into action.
After returning to Beijing, Xia Songlan's return to Country M was also put on the agenda.
As excited as everyone was when she came back, so reluctant were they to see her go.
This time, Xia Songlan didn't let anyone see her off, even Ning Jingmo was rejected.
She took a car to the airport by herself and boarded a plane to Country M.
He left for two years and never came back once.
At first, I would call home every week, but later I became busier and busier and didn’t even have time to talk on the phone.
Not to mention going to the hospital for internship.
Later, seeing her excellent grades, Professor Sam suggested that she complete her undergraduate credits ahead of time and continue as a graduate student.
In this way, Xia Songlan was busy like a top and her sleeping time was compressed to the shortest possible time.
But hard work pays off. In the last semester, the experiment of synthesizing human insulin was finally successful. Once it was released, it caused a sensation around the world.
Although Xia Songlan's name is not mentioned in the entire research work, her contribution is obvious to all.
The Alexander family sent a job invitation letter to Xia Songlan through Alexander, hoping that she would stay in Country M after graduation and work in their medical device company.
Xia Songlan declined their invitation and devoted all her energy to studying.
She hopes to complete all the graduate credits by the time her exchange program ends.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and finally, Xia Songlan achieved her wish.
Professor Sam was shocked by Xia Songlan's diligence and research, and personally awarded him a graduate diploma and degree certificate.
In the past two years, Alexander has been competing with Xia Songlan in all aspects.
But even after he used up his last bit of strength, he was always defeated by Xia Songlan. In the end, he truly admired Xia Songlan's intelligence and persistence.
Before Xia Songlan left, he invited her again, "Songlan, when you go back, neither the salary nor the working environment will be as good as in Country M. I suggest you consider it carefully.
As long as you are willing to stay, all of our Alexander family medical device companies are willing to increase your salary by 30% on top of your original salary."
Xia Songlan smiled and declined again, "Thank you, thank you for giving me such a good opportunity.
Although my country is not as good as Country M now, I believe that in the near future we will be able to surpass you.
You are also welcome to come to China to work when the time comes."
Alexander was stunned by the light in Xia Songlan's eyes that was as bright as the sun.
He will always remember this moment, and also remember the girl whom he tried so hard to catch up with but was always left behind.
Finally, after nearly two years, Xia Songlan set foot on the land of her motherland again.
This time was different from the last time. Last time, Ning Jingmo came to pick her up alone, but this time, everyone except Ning Jingmo was there.
