Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 168 Rejected

Li Fu subconsciously believed that the Shanghe Village Production Brigade was under his jurisdiction, and since he was there, he should be allowed to go in and take a look.

Who would have thought that Zhao Baogen was such a naive person that he wouldn't even speak up unless someone asked for his own opinion.

As soon as Li Fu said this, everyone looked at Zhao Baogen with hope. Li Quan said excitedly, "Brother Zhao, please open our eyes quickly. I've wanted to see your laboratory for a while."

As soon as the two of them said this, Zhao Baogen felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and his mind kept thinking, what should I do in this situation?

Both the researchers from the laboratory province and Gu Zhan said that the laboratory is a sterile environment and that only laboratory operators are allowed to enter, otherwise it will cause contamination.

These people certainly cannot be allowed in at the moment, but how to refuse them becomes a problem.

Li Fu looked at Zhao Baogen with a conflicted expression and thought to himself that Zhao Baogen was really not straightforward. It was just a room like this, and everyone went in just out of curiosity about what was inside, and no one would take anything from him, yet he was still conflicted.

Zhao Baogen was standing there hesitating when suddenly the door of the laboratory duty room opened and Jing Lin, one of Guo Zhida's men, walked out.

Jing Lin didn't recognize anyone present except Zhao Baogen.

Zhao Baogen rarely comes here, let alone brings so many people here. Today's situation is indeed a bit unexpected.

So he asked curiously, "Captain, what's wrong?"

Zhao Baogen scratched his head awkwardly and was about to speak when Li Fu spoke first. "It's like this, comrade. I'm Li Fu, the director of Xiaohe Town Commune. We'd like to go to the laboratory and take a look. Could you please open the door?"

When Jing Lin heard this, he knew where the embarrassed expression on Zhao Baogen's face came from.

The relaxed smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a serious expression. He explained to everyone, "I'm really sorry, our laboratory has strict requirements. Non-experimental personnel are not allowed to enter."

When Li Fu heard this, he felt embarrassed and said, "I'm just going in to take a look. I won't touch your things."

Jing Lin smiled helplessly: "It's not because we can't move things. Our laboratory has experimental operations that require a sterile environment. If we go in now, the experimental samples and the air inside will be contaminated."

Li Fu only had an elementary school education. He had never seen or heard of these new things, and his understanding of them was limited. He did not understand the other words clearly. He only knew that the other party said that their group would pollute the air after entering.

When he realized what was happening, he immediately became furious: "You... forget it, let's go."

After hearing Jinglin's explanation, everyone understood for a moment, but then felt a little confused. Now that Li Fu was angry, they also felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Fu's anger. They were indeed being openly rejected.

As Li Fu left angrily, the others also left.

Li Quan lived relatively close to Shanghe Village. When the laboratory was being built, he came to see it several times out of curiosity. He also talked with Gu Zhan and could almost understand what Jinglin meant.

But now the director of the commune had taken the lead and left, so he couldn't stay any longer. He sighed, patted Zhao Baogen on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Baogen forced a smile on his face and said goodbye to Li Quan.

He estimated that he would have a hard time in the upcoming large and small meetings of the commune, and it was also a question whether he could continue to serve as the team leader.

I have completely offended Li Fu today.

In the afternoon, Gu Zhan came out of the laboratory and turned a corner to see Zhao Baogen smoking at the entrance of the cattle farm. He hurried over and asked, "Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"

Hearing Gu Zhan's voice, Zhao Baogen suppressed his emotions and said with a smile: "Hey, you finished early today?"

Gu Zhan smiled and said, "It went relatively smoothly today."

These days have been going more smoothly than the previous ones. Guo Zhida's team has become increasingly familiar with the environment and process requirements for cell segmentation. They have also made changes and optimizations to the conditions that Shanghe Village could not meet, and the experiments have gone much more smoothly since then.

"That's good!"

After a pause, Zhao Baogen looked at Gu Zhan awkwardly for a long while, then sighed and said slowly, "Boy, Director Tian from the commune came here today. He wanted to go into the laboratory to take a look, but was turned away. He... is very angry."

Since entering the laboratory today, Gu Zhan has been immersed in the experiment and has not paid any attention to what is happening outside. After Gu Zhan said this, he seemed to remember that there was indeed a short period of time in the afternoon when it was very noisy outside.

So, Li Fu should have come here during that time period.

Gu Zhan knew that Li Fu was not a very kind person, especially since they had already had a bit of an unpleasant experience before.

Thinking about Li Fu’s transfer in the previous life, it should have been around this time.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Zhao Baogen: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry."

"What? How can I not be worried? I'm afraid he'll cause trouble for our team."

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, he won't make things difficult for us."

Gu Zhan's nonsensical words made Zhao Baogen even more confused. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should believe Gu Zhan or not.

"You kid, aren't you here to comfort me?"

Gu Zhan smiled softly: "Uncle Zhao, when have I ever lied to you?"

This is true.

Although Zhao Baogen was still confused, he felt much more at ease.

When I returned home in the evening, I ran into Gu Mancang standing hunched over at the door, which was a rare sight.

He saw Gu Zhan coming from the end of the road, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran towards him and said with a smile: "Nephew, you... are back?"

Gu Zhan was thinking about what Zhao Baogen had just said about Li Fu, when he was startled by Gu Mancang who suddenly jumped in front of him.

But fortunately it's not too obvious.

"Nephew..."

Gu Zhan raised his eyes and looked coldly at Gu Mancang, who was smiling awkwardly: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Mancang grinned for a long while, but seeing that Gu Zhan was still as cold as before, he had to put away his smile and said in a flattering tone:

"Nephew, you're familiar with Captain Zhao. Could you please tell your uncle to go help out at the cattle farm? The work points there are high. You see, your uncle still has to support your grandparents, and the house collapsed recently, so life is really difficult. Do you think it's okay?"

Gu Zhan looked at Gu Mancang with a mocking expression: "Second uncle always talks in a nice way, but I don't think it works."

Gu Mancang paused, but in his heart he had already cursed Gu Zhan over and over again. He endured it for the time being, after all, he was now under someone else's roof and had to bow his head.

Because of the incident with Widow Zhao, Zhang Qiaomei basically ignores him now, and her son is wandering around the world. If he doesn't work to earn some work points, he really won't be able to make ends meet.
