“A Breakthrough.

…

Jiang Li is socializing with his mentor, Wang Xuning.

The professor often has some research or by-products that the military doesn’t use, and selling them to companies is the best option.

On the way, Wang Xuning reveals to Jiang Li, ‘The one having dinner with us is Young Master Jiang from the Jiang family. They are in the medical field. It wouldn’t hurt to get to know them.’

Jiang Li usually doesn’t like socializing with his mentor, but Wang Xuning understands his personality and doesn’t insist.

This time, he agreed voluntarily.

He wants to eat outside.

Regardless of whether the collaboration can be achieved, the meal provided by the collaborating party is definitely good.

Jiang Li had malnutrition in his childhood, which may be one of the reasons for delayed differentiation.

Now that he has a child, he needs to eat more.

Nutritional supplements can provide most of the body’s needs, but those who take nutritional supplements for a long time are generally thin. It’s okay usually, but not enough during pregnancy.

Wang Xuning doesn’t know Jiang Li’s true thoughts and thinks that as graduation approaches, Jiang has changed his mindset.

“Speaking of which, Young Master Jiang also retired from the space force and reached the rank of senior general before retiring.”

Jiang Li: “In which year did he retire?”

Wang Xuning: “Not very clear, at least three years ago. Our laboratory has been collaborating with the Jiang family, and I’ve known him for at least three years.”

Jiang Li asks in a low voice, “What’s Young Master Jiang’s personality like?”

He recalls the Young Master Jiang he encountered, who forced Omega into the restaurant.

Wang Xuning: “Not bad, talented, but his younger brother is a bit…”

Wang Xuning wisely pauses for a moment, seeing an approaching Alpha, who skillfully greets and shakes hands. “Mr. Jiang, this is my student, Jiang Li.”

Jiang Li dislikes socializing for one reason: shaking hands.

He extends his hand for a light shake and says, “Hello, Mr. Jiang.”

Alphas aged 30 and above have a scent of roses mixed with red wine.

Jiang Li senses the other’s gaze on his face.

“Hello, Jiang Li, call me Jiang Lu. Professor Wang brought you here for the first time. Any dietary restrictions?”

Jiang Li: “No dietary restrictions.”

“Then, as usual?” Jiang Lu looks at Wang Xuning and hands the menu to the waiter. “Serve the dishes as soon as possible.”

Wang Xuning and Jiang Lu have had meals together before, continuing the previous topics occasionally with occasional medical discussions, only asking Jiang Li for his opinion.

Jiang Li thinks for a while and gives concise, unique answers.

“Professor Wang, your student is quite outstanding. If he doesn’t want to go to the research institute, he can consider joining Jiang Pharmaceutical.”

Jiang Li raises his eyes slightly. Will Professor Wang mention his destination to Jiang Lu?

“The dishes are here, Jiang Li; eat more; don’t mind us chatting,” Wang Xuning instructs, continuing to toast with Jiang Lu.

The waiter enters with the dishes. The dishes are small but exquisite.

Jiang Li feels embarrassed eating on an empty plate, so he tastes a bit of each of the three dishes in front of him.

Poached chicken, stir-fried vegetables, garlic lobster.

The taste is excellent, and the presentation is superb. Although the professor asks him to eat heartily, Jiang Li can’t ignore his image.

Being satisfied with a bit of taste is enough.

Jiang Li squints his eyes, hearing the conversation on the table shift to the most popular decryption event.

He quietly picks up his phone from the table and searches for a flower shop. Although he saw the debunking, a little ignorance can go along with the flow.

【Off the shelves】

【Look at other flowers】

Jiang Li looks at several shops in a row, and all the chrysanthemums are off the shelves.

So many people are buying?

“… A pheromone storm? I’ve heard something about it.” Jiang Lu smiles. “Actually, the news is biased. At least I haven’t benefited from it.”

Professor Wang laughs, “Is that so? I don’t know much either. The dean of the space force has more connections, and we’re not in the loop.”

Jiang Li originally applied under the dean, but the dean has to focus on space research in the next three years and doesn’t have time for graduate students. So Wang Xuning took him in.

Jiang Li sits for over an hour, and both sides reluctantly leave the table.

At the door of the private room, Professor Wang says he wants to go to the restroom and asks Jiang Li to wait.

Jiang Li originally wanted to follow, but he feels a bit obvious.

“Jiang Li, I’ve seen your research, and Jiang Pharmaceuticals is quite interested. You can consider selling it to us.”

Jiang Li politely says, “Sorry, this is a topic set by the dean. I can’t decide.”

Jiang Lu is not upset about being rejected and looks at Jiang Li’s face and says, “I quite like you. Can I pursue you with marriage as the premise?”

Jiang Li tactfully says, “I currently want to focus on my studies.”

Usually, when Alpha from a prominent family marries, they choose Omega, and Beta is rarely chosen. Jiang Li’s public identity is Beta, and he is slightly surprised by Jiang Lu’s words.

Jiang Lu looks determined. “I can wait for you to graduate.”

Jiang Li starts to feel that this meal doesn’t taste good.

…

Cen Lang parks the car under the shade at the entrance of the Third Military Academy. Last time he led the team, he had the contact information of all the students. He glances at it, remembering Jiang Li’s phone number.

Just about to dial, Cen Lang seems to sense something and looks out of the car window.

Jiang Li is dressed in all white, and he tends to favor white. He wears a white fleece-lined hoodie with casual padded sports pants and a black mask.

With his hands in the front pockets of the hoodie, he pauses at the flower shop at the school gate and asks, “Boss, do you have chrysanthemums here?”

Buy them in advance, put them in water, and they should last for three days. Slightly wilting is acceptable, and it’s okay to spend a little more.

Cen Lang: “…”

A poor student is willing to buy expensive chrysanthemums for him. How can this not be considered a successful career?
