Chapter 108 The reunion of old friends sparks a return wave
Chen Yiqing's business trip this time, besides attending the awards ceremony instead of the boss, also shouldered an important task.

He has studied abroad for many years, and he has a lot of acquaintances with foreign students and Chinese circles in Yingguo, especially the chemistry and biology majors of famous universities.

Coupled with the fact that Wen Renlong and Tang Que were vying to assist behind him, he was returning to his homeland, recruiting troops by the way.

Therefore, Wei Kang asked him to take the opportunity to recruit as many international students from prestigious schools as possible, including international students from prestigious schools such as Harvard, Stanford, and MIT, as well as Chinese researchers from giants such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Novartis. Sanqing wanted them all.

At the moment, he is driving to his alma mater, preparing to attend an alumni reunion.

The group quickly drove into a small courtyard in Cambridge.

There were already a dozen or so young men standing near the door, all of them stretched their necks, eagerly waiting, with excited expressions on their faces.

As soon as the car stopped, Chen Yiqing was the first to get out of the car. He took a deep breath and walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Brothers, it's been a long time. Everyone came here today, Lao Shen, Lao Yan, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Fang, haha, Miss Yang is also here, it's rare, this is your husband, I've heard of you for a long time, yo , and Xiao Peng, Xiao Li, David..."

He greeted everyone warmly, obviously knew them all very well, and was quickly welcomed into the living room by everyone.

A group of people sat down around a large dining table, on which a variety of food was laid out, obviously ready and waiting for his arrival.

Chen Yiqing naturally found a seat and sat down, glanced around, and asked casually, "Why didn't Xiao Xiang come? Is he too busy?"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold, everyone was silent, and the expressions on their faces became complicated.

He looked at everyone's worried expressions and their dodging eyes, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and directly asked the short and fat man opposite.

"Old Shen, what's the matter? Has something happened to Xiaoxiang's family?"

Old Shen has always had a wide range of contacts and is the person in charge of the alumni party. He adjusted his glasses, frowned, and shook his head.

Then he hesitated to speak: "Oh, forget it, I can't hide this matter from you, Xiao Xiang just committed suicide by taking medicine two days ago, and he is still in the hospital now."

Chen Yiqing was taken aback, and looked at the others in disbelief. Seeing everyone nodding, he widened his eyes and asked, "What's going on? Why did he commit suicide? Didn't he switch to computer science? It's pretty good, I became the chief engineer of the company, got married and had a child, and my wife is also very beautiful, why can't I think about it?"

His face suddenly sank: "No, I have to go and see him."

Old Shen sighed and nodded: "We wanted to go to the hospital to see him again after we received you. As for why he committed suicide, no one knows. After hearing the news, he was very surprised. You have the best relationship with him. You can persuade him in a while. You said that he was a young man with a bright future, so why did he commit suicide?"

The others also echoed in a hurry, all of them didn't understand.

Chen Yiqing's originally happy mood was suddenly extremely heavy, he didn't even feel like eating, so he picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and hurried to visit a nearby hospital with the others.

His student name is Xiang Gaofei, who is also a Ph.D. in chemistry from Harvard, a few classes later than him, but after graduating from a Ph.D. in chemistry, he transferred to a master's degree in computer science, and has been working in an Internet company since then.

Xiang Gaofei was born in a rural area, and he studied smoothly since he was a child. He is especially talented in chemistry. He won the gold medal in the International Olympic Chemistry Competition in high school, as well as countless other honors.

However, his family was poor, his mother was seriously ill in bed, and his father borrowed money for medical treatment. In order to earn more money to pay off the debt as soon as possible, he chose to give up chemistry and switch to software.

At the beginning, Chen Yiqing also didn't understand. He tried to persuade him, but after learning about Xiang Gaofei's family background, the other party personally confided that "computers make money faster", so he had no choice but to express his understanding.

However, it was a shock to him that the once talented junior, with a lovely wife and son, and a bright future, would choose to commit suicide.

In his impression, Xiang Gaofei has always been an honest and humble character, tall and thin, not good at speaking, but he is very enthusiastic about his friends, and he is always the first to arrive when he needs help.

He really couldn't figure out why such a person committed suicide. Could it be that something happened at home again?

However, the salary of software engineers in Eagle Country is also very generous, 20 US dollars a year, which is enough to deal with any unexpected accidents, not to mention that there are many friends who can lend a helping hand, so they will not be reduced to suicide.

Chen Yiqing soon saw Xiang Gaofei after a long absence in the ward, and he was worried about the other party's state.

He looked haggard after recovering from a serious illness, with sunken eyes and listless, as if he had lost all energy.

When Xiang Gaofei saw Chen Yiqing, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and suddenly two lines of hot tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he said with all his strength: "Brother Qing, I regret it."

Chen Yiqing's heart was shocked, and a conversation suddenly flashed in his mind. It was the scene where Xiao Xiang was about to change his major, and he painstakingly persuaded him.

"Xiao Xiang, do you really want to give up your talent and study computer?"

"Yes, it's faster to get money from the computer. I want my parents to live a good life, and I can't watch them suffer any more."

"But you can still work in a pharmaceutical company after studying chemistry, and you can earn a lot."

"Oh, Brother Qing, I've already made my decision."

"Well, I understand you, but I can see that you still like chemistry, and I hope you won't regret it in the future."

"Well, I know, you are also doing it for my own good."

His eyes were moist, and he held Xiang Gaofei's hands tightly: "Xiao Xiang, why did you do something stupid! If you really regret it, come back to China with me, and we will start again."

Under Chen Yiqing's condolences, Xiang Gaofei finally revealed the truth about his suicide.

It turned out that after he gave up chemistry, which he was good at, to chase the emerging "Internet" wave, he encountered many setbacks in his work.

In addition, he has been very strong since he was a child, and he is the "Heaven's Chosen One" in the eyes of everyone. He has never tried the taste of failure, so after suffering setbacks, it is inevitable.

At work, the boss put him under increasing pressure, and he has a restrained personality and is not good at expressing. No matter what troubles he will just hide in his heart. Over time, the excessive psychological pressure leads to depression, and he can only take medicine for treatment.

For a long time, he still couldn't find a way to vent. As the pillar of the family, he still dared not disclose his illness even if his parents asked him; and when facing his wife and children, he had to be strong and not arouse their worries.

He grew up in Huaxia, facing the huge gap between the humanistic environment of Eagle Country and Huaxia, his emotions accumulated day after day and he couldn't express himself, and he finally pushed himself to a dead end.

After everyone present learned the truth, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

I really didn't expect that a successful person with a glamorous appearance would be under so much pressure that he would be crushed.

Chen Yiqing sighed silently, patted Gao Fei on the shoulder, and softly comforted him: "Xiao Xiang, since that's the case, why don't you come back to China with me, the situation in China is very good now, the salary of a Ph. , and stay with your parents.”

"I remember that your family is in Anhui Province, not far from Kunming City. Have you heard of Sanqing Pharmaceutical in Kunming City? I'm working as a laboratory director there. Come back with me and find a job in Sanqing How about it?"

After Xiang Gaofei vented the pent-up emotions in his heart, he felt much better. Hearing what he said, he was surprised and delighted: "Brother Qing, who has never heard of Sanqing? You actually work in the famous Sanqing , then I will definitely go back with you, and I will rely on you for the rest of my life."

It's just that he is also a little nervous: "I don't have any work experience in chemistry now, so I don't know if they will want me. Maybe I can only be a software engineer if I go."

Chen Yiqing slapped his thigh and said, "Don't worry, Sanqing has an AI pharmaceutical laboratory, and the leader, like you, is also an expert in chemistry and computer science at Stanford. It would be great if you happened to follow him in computational biology. Now this direction It’s very popular, don’t worry, don’t worry about no future.”

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly relaxed, and others also asked about Sanqing's treatment and development.

Chen Yiqing took the opportunity to introduce Sanqing's benefits and working environment emphatically, which made everyone look yearning and excited.

"Brother Chen, I have a request that I don't know if I can satisfy it? If I can, I'll go to Sanqing to apply for a job." A well-mannered young man was obviously moved and suddenly asked.

"Say it!" Chen Yiqing waved his hand proudly.

"If I enter the job, the leader I will arrange must be technical. I am used to being lazy here, and I really can't get along with that kind of administrative bureaucrats. I have also found several domestic companies before, but during the interview they You can't even agree to my request." The young man said with a look of resentment.

Chen Yiqing couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiao Jiang, don't worry about this, our biggest leader is Mr. Wei Kangwei, don't you know his technical content? As for your future direct leader, I remember that you are a researcher of cells. Biological, uh, your leader's skills can't be more hardcore."

The young man was overjoyed and said: "That's okay, I like hard-core technical leaders the most."

Chen Yiqing looked at Xiao Jiang who was smiling happily, and Tang Que's tough image flashed in his mind, he couldn't help laughing but said nothing.

He looked around and nodded secretly. This recruitment seems to be quite smooth, and he will definitely catch all the international students from the famous schools.

Just when Chen Yiqing kept recruiting troops.

A related institution in Eagle Country.

The person in charge, Saul, a bearded man with a hooked nose, looked at the information in front of him, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done, our Eagle Kingdom has finally driven a nail in Sanqing. Chris, he is very kind to us. It is very important, this information is classified as top secret, and only you and I know it."

"However, can you guarantee that this nail is obedient?"

Chris has the standard appearance of brown hair and blue eyes, and he smiled confidently: "Boss, please rest assured, I have dealt with such people a lot, and greed is their biggest weakness. As long as you master this point, you can firmly control it." Let them live. Although Sanqing also gives a lot, it is definitely not as much as us."

"Even if the nail plan fails, there will be no loss to us." Chris shrugged with a relaxed expression: "Anyway, this is just a free move, so why not do it."

Sol laughed and said: "Sanqing is really in a daze. He actually recruited talents from the Eagle Kingdom. Isn't this a loophole that came to your door? Hahaha."

"It seems that this Wei Kang is not very good, he has no understanding of human nature at all, hehe."

He added meaningfully: "Science has no national boundaries, but scientists have their own countries. As the beacon of human civilization, no one can deny us."
