"Hm?"
"You’re saying Professor Wu and old man Chen have arrived on Zheng Island, and there are ten people with them?" Su Chen asked, sitting up from his beach lounge chair.
Chen Fei quickly explained over the phone, "Yes, Mr. Su. I just picked their group up from the airport and got them settled in at the industrial park."
"Also, Professor Wu and the others hope you can come back as soon as possible. They said... to remember to bring all the documents!"
A smile touched Su Chen’s lips. ’Those two old gentlemen really don’t know how to rest.’
After having dinner with Deng Chao and the others last time, Su Chen had figured Professor Wu’s group wouldn’t arrive on Zheng Island for several more days, so he had taken Jiang Hui to Dalian for a vacation.
"Alright, I understand. I’ll head back to Zheng Island later. Also, run a background check on the ten people accompanying Professor Wu. It’d be best to have Brother Xiao look into them as well."
Su Chen was just being cautious. The materials the researchers would be handling would only become more and more sensitive, so the necessary precautions had to be taken.
"Understood, Mr. Su!"
After hanging up, Su Chen gazed at the azure water in the distance and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
He hadn’t had a chance to properly explore and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dalian on this trip. Dalian was known as the Xiangjiang of the North, and besides its unique seascapes, it also boasted many historical buildings worth seeing.
It was a place where you could feel like you’d traveled the world without ever leaving the country. He had no idea when he’d be back.
Turning to look at Jiang Hui, who was waiting nearby for a vendor to prepare his food, he shouted, "Old Jiang, back to the hotel!"
Hearing Su Chen’s call, Jiang Hui didn’t hesitate for a second. He turned and walked toward Su Chen without even a second glance at his favorite grilled squid.
He just left the vendor with a single sentence, "Give my three orders of grilled squid to some other customers."
The distance from Dalian to Zheng Island wasn’t very far. It was just over a two-hour trip by high-speed rail.
After returning to the hotel, they packed their things and had the hotel arrange a car to take them directly to the high-speed rail station.
By the time Su Chen and Jiang Hui got back to Zheng Island, it was just past seven in the evening.
...
First thing the next morning, Su Chen arrived at the industrial park on the outskirts of the city.
As soon as the car stopped, Su Chen saw Professor Wu and the others through the window, standing at the main entrance of the office building and waiting with craned necks.
The moment he got out of the car, Professor Wu and old man Chen hurried over to greet him.
"Professor Wu, Professor Chen!" Su Chen greeted them as he stepped out of the car.
