Chapter 218: Within Ten Years, China’s GDP Will Surely Become the World’s Number One! (Part 5/5)

“There’s no helping it. Compared to small cities, big cities have more opportunities,” Su Xiaoli sighed.

“As time goes by and the urbanization rate continues to increase, more and more people will flock to big cities. This process is irreversible in the short term unless big cities reach a certain level of population congestion, which might stop this process,” Tang Feng said lightly.

As someone who had been reborn, he had already seen the process of population migration over the next dozen years.

The population of Binjiang District had lost nearly two hundred thousand people over a dozen years!

The majority of those who left were young people.

These individuals went to big cities for education and stayed there after graduation.

Very few returned.

Because big cities could offer some things that small cities could not.

“Anyway, whenever we have time, we should still go back and visit them,” Su Xiaoli said.

Tang Feng nodded.

Soon, it was dinner time.

Tang Feng went to the kitchen and quickly prepared four dishes and a soup.

Then, the two of them made do and had their meal.

Before they had finished eating, Tang Feng received a call from Gao Mingzhou.

“Director Tang, have you had your meal?” Gao Mingzhou asked with a smile.

“I’m eating right now,” Tang Feng answered.

“The test results are out! The previously blocked blood vessel is now completely cleared!” Gao Mingzhou sounded overjoyed.

“How about it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?” Tang Feng also became happy.

“Director Tang, your medical skills are truly amazing! When are you free? I’d like to invite you to my home for a meal,” Gao Mingzhou extended the invitation.

“Let’s skip it,” Tang Feng politely declined.

“That won’t do!” Gao Mingzhou shook his head, “You saved my life. This meal is a must!”

“How about tomorrow evening?” Tang Feng, seeing the other party’s insistence, negotiated.

“Okay! Tomorrow evening! I’ll send a car to pick you up. Oh, and remember to bring Xiaoli! Both of you come together!” Gao Mingzhou agreed very readily.

“No need! We’ll drive there ourselves!” Tang Feng called out.

“Will you be going to the Mathematics Department tomorrow?” Gao Mingzhou asked.

“Depends! If I have time, I’ll make a trip. After all, as the head of the Mathematics Department, it’s a bit unreasonable not to show up,” Tang Feng answered.

“If you go, could you proofread this issue’s papers for Academician Lin? I’ll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and won’t go to the editorial office,” Gao Mingzhou said.

“Alright,” Tang Feng nodded.

The two briefly chatted a bit more.

Then the call ended.

“I’ve made arrangements with Mr. Gao to have dinner at his place tomorrow evening,” Tang Feng put down his phone and said.

“What gift should we bring?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Probably nothing they lack. Mainly, I don’t know what he likes,” Tang Feng answered.

“How about buying some wine?” Su Xiaoli suggested.

“That works! Best to get some aged Moutai. That way, it’ll at least look presentable as a gift,” Tang Feng agreed.

“I’ll check the Moutai specialty store tomorrow,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Okay.”

After dinner, the two didn’t linger in the living room but went to the study instead.

Tang Feng sat down at the desk.

He took out two mathematics papers he had written and carefully reviewed them.

Some parts still needed to be modified.

Su Xiaoli, meanwhile, picked up a book and sat in a wicker chair behind him.

Her gaze alternated between the book and Tang Feng.

To her, Tang Feng, engrossed in his work, appeared exceptionally charming.

A smile occasionally appeared on her lips.

She was very satisfied with their current lifestyle.

She hoped time could move slower.

That way, she could spend more time with Tang Feng in the study.

Time passed by the second.

Tang Feng stood up, stretching.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoli also closed her book and got up from the wicker chair.

“Are you tired?” Su Xiaoli asked with concern.

“Not really,” Tang Feng smiled faintly.

“Do you want a back massage?” Su Xiaoli offered.

“No need!” Tang Feng waved his hand, “It’s getting late. Shouldn’t we rest?”

“I want to take a shower first,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Do you need me to help you scrub?” Tang Feng negotiated.

“No need!” Su Xiaoli shook her head, “I can do it myself.”

Seeing her insist, Tang Feng could only give up.

Su Xiaoli kissed him and then went to the bathroom.

Tang Feng put away the revised papers.

He planned to bring them to the editorial office tomorrow for Academician Lin Zhiyuan to review.

He left the study and heard the sound of water from the bathroom.

He instinctively walked towards the bathroom.

However, he stopped himself just a few steps out and returned to his room, lying down on the bed.

Perhaps due to the day’s fatigue, he quickly fell asleep.

Su Xiaoli, after her shower, seeing the light in his room, went in and found Tang Feng already asleep.

She carefully covered him with a blanket, then tiptoed out.
