"Ho ho!"
Williams' throat twitched uncontrollably and he let out an unconscious growl.
Then he suddenly sat up, sweating profusely, as if he had been awakened by a nightmare.
Looking around, touching his chest, he couldn't help but feel glad that this was just a dream.
"Since coming to China, I haven't had nightmares for a long time."
"I didn't expect that I would dream about those scenes from back then."
Williams smiled bitterly and lay down again, only to realize that he was already soaked through.
He couldn't sleep now, so he got up and took a shower before feeling better.
When I returned to bed, I rested my head on my arms, looked up at the ceiling in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the nightmare just now.
The specific details were somewhat vague, but there was one scene in it that he always remembered clearly.
Wearing a bulky protective suit, he walked alone in the cold and damp isolation corridor.
After walking for what seemed like an eternity, we reached the end of the corridor.
Pushing open the door in front of me, the scene that appeared in front of me was as terrifying as hell.
The spacious room has snow-white walls and iron cages piled one after another on the floor, all the way to the ceiling.
In the cage, there are groups of dead monkeys, all of them are terrifying in shape and deathly.
The room was clean, except for these dead monkeys, there was not a drop of blood.
His stomach was churning, he bent over with difficulty, and kept retching, but nothing could be vomited out.
Thinking of this, Williams' heartbeat became violent again.
He knew why he had nightmares.
Whenever he is under too much mental stress and is particularly tired, he will have this nightmare.
The scene in the nightmare was the first time he went to a virus laboratory to perform humane destruction of experimental animals.
The piles of dead monkeys were victims of various bacterial and viral experiments.
Because he was a newbie, he was assigned this lowest level job.
During that time, he was still a little soft-hearted when he was young and could not bear such a job.
Who can bear to come to work every morning and see only piles of dead monkeys?
After a while, he almost collapsed.
Fortunately, before he suffered a mental breakdown, he passed the probationary examination in advance and was transferred to another position.
Later, I spent most of my time traveling to different countries and working in laboratories. The objects of observation and treatment changed from dead monkeys to microorganisms and various living animals.
Although this period was only three months, it became a nightmare that he couldn't get rid of.
Once the mental stress is too great, I will dream about this scene again.
The same scene would keep repeating in his dream until he woke up.
"I have been busy with Super Enzyme recently. I have been too selfless at work and haven't had a good rest. I may be too tired and cannot continue like this. It will affect my working status."
Williams thought to himself, taking out his phone to check the time.
But I found a strange text message.
"Everything is done, remember your promise."
His heart moved, and he immediately understood the meaning of the news.
I couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the Nobel Prize was guaranteed.
After a while, the exhausted Williams fell asleep again.
After sleeping until dawn, I simply washed up and went to the cafeteria to eat.
The cafeteria was crowded, so he queued up to buy a bowl of beef noodles, a scallion pancake, and a bag of soy milk, and ate them happily.
Maybe it was because he was well rested, but he had a particularly good appetite and his food was extremely sweet.
Suddenly, a familiar colleague saw him and ran over with excitement on his face.
"Venus, congratulations! Oh my God, you actually won the Nobel Prize." The colleague gasped.
"Ah?" Williams showed a hint of surprise at the right time: "What are you talking about? Wasn't the Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded a long time ago?"
"Hey, it's not a medicine prize, it's a peace prize. Take a look at the online news. The Nobel Prize Committee announced a Peace Prize winner at midnight last night, and it's you."
"I couldn't believe it at first. It wasn't until I saw the photo and the reason for the award, saying that it was because of the development of drugs to cure AIDS and saved tens of millions of lives, that I was sure it was you."
His colleagues looked at him in surprise with a hint of envy, and talked a lot.
Williams' eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. He took out his phone and opened it.
After a while, he said in a trembling voice: "I, I actually won the Peace Prize???"
"Yes, this news should have spread throughout the laboratory. You are too awesome."
Williams had calmed down by this time and said with a smile: "The Peace Prize is not a medicine prize or a chemistry prize. It has no gold content and is nothing to scientists."
"But that's a Nobel Prize too. At least now you're famous."
Just as he was talking, another acquaintance came over and shouted loudly from a distance.
"Venus, congratulations on winning the Nobel Peace Prize."
This man's voice was loud and loud, and when he said it, half of the cafeteria heard it.
Swish, brush, brush!
Everyone looked over and stared at Dawei with shocked expressions.
Indeed, this is a pharmaceutical company, and everyone present is a scientific researcher.
If you want to win awards, you have to win other awards, such as chemistry awards and medicine awards, but I have never heard of the Peace Prize being awarded to scientists.
Even a literary award is not impossible. After all, there are scientists who have written global bestsellers.
The main reason is that the Peace Prize has too strong a political meaning, and previous winners have been quite controversial.
Generally speaking, it is awarded by the international community to commend some people who are upright and correct.
For example, during the Second World War, it was awarded to the Germans who opposed Fascism.
During the Moon War, it was awarded to peace negotiators from both sides. In recent years, it has become even more outrageous, and it has even been awarded to environmental fighters.
Therefore, from the perspective of the academic community, this award is like a puddle of muddy water, very unfathomable, and it is better for scientists to sit back and watch.
I never expected that a scientist would win this award.
Especially since everyone knows that Sanqing has been blocked by the Nobel Committee.
The meaning of receiving the Peace Prize at this time is somewhat thought-provoking.
However, everyone was immediately relieved after seeing Williams.
It turns out that he is from the Eagle Country, so it is normal to win the award.
Even if an ordinary Eagle Countryer shouts a slogan or does something outrageous, he or she may win the Peace Prize.
Not to mention experts and scholars who have really made some contribution to all mankind.
Some colleagues sat down with breakfast, without even thinking about eating, and quickly browsed the web page, whispering and discussing the matter.
After a hurried breakfast, Williams came to the laboratory.
Here too he received warm congratulations.
However, everyone knows that the Peace Prize is of little use to their work, so it is more of a friendly ridicule.
Williams finished dealing with his colleagues with a smile and came to his seat.
He was filled with joy and wanted to share it with more people.
Thinking of the last time I asked a question on Bihu, netizens all gave friendly suggestions.
Then I logged in and updated a sentence after my question.
"Thank you very much for everyone's replies. They are all very constructive and have given me great encouragement. Today I found out that I won the Nobel Prize and I feel full of confidence. I immediately applied for Chinese citizenship."
After sending this sentence, he happily opened the page of "Service Guidelines for Acceptance of Foreign Permanent Residence Qualifications" and planned to prepare application materials according to the above instructions.
However, after watching it for a while, I realized that it was really difficult, and the folks on the Internet really didn’t lie.
Only very important talents in Huaxia Investment Company who hold positions of vice president and deputy senior level or above in enterprises or institutions are eligible to apply.
"I am not the vice president of Sanqing, nor do I have a senior deputy title, nor do I have an investment company. It seems that I only qualify as a person with special contributions."
"Applicants must obtain scientific research results that have world influence or great value. I am quite qualified for this."
"Then you have to give a recommendation letter from the national competent authority before you can go to the Exit-Entry Administration."
"Hey, this is a bit difficult."
Williams murmured to himself, feeling so tired.
It's a pity that he has been wandering for many years. He just wants to find a safe haven and continue working in Sanqing. Why is it so difficult?
"Now, it seems I can only go to Mr. Wei. I wonder if he is willing to help me."
"In this case, I must confess my identity to him."
"But I didn't leak the company's secrets, and I didn't cause any major losses to the company. There should be some way to save it."
He scratched his head and thought a little uncertainly.

At this time, news of Williams winning the Nobel Peace Prize had spread on the Internet.
Originally, the Nobel Prize attracted a lot of attention, and every year the awards would attract the attention of the entire Internet.
Not to mention that there was a sudden exception this time. A month later, a replacement peace prize was actually issued.
For foreigners working in Sanqing, their award-winning achievements are also related to Sanqing.
This quickly pushed the popularity to a new level.
Netizens have been talking about it, but none of them have good reviews.
"This Nobel Prize is really shameless. For such a big thing as curing AIDS, instead of awarding the prize to Sanqing, it will be awarded to a staff member and never mention Sanqing. This is trying to grab credit."
"That's right, either give it to everyone, or don't give it, and give it to a little guy. Who is this disgusting?"
"He was the only one who contributed to the co-writing, right? The others were just decorations and were not even mentioned."
"It's not just because this person is from Eagle Country, this is blatant racial discrimination."
"Bah, it's a well-known double standard. The Peace Prize is rubbish."
"We in China must have a prize of our own sooner or later, otherwise we will see this thing every day and cause trouble to others."
"It doesn't matter, the Peace Prize has a bad reputation anyway."
When overseas netizens learned about this, they were all happy and expressed their congratulations one after another.
"Thank God, this Peace Prize is finally well-deserved and awarded to a great person who has benefited mankind."
"The scientist who cured AIDS certainly deserves the Peace Prize, but I think the Medicine Prize may be more suitable for him."
"The Medicine Award is generally awarded to scholars who conduct basic theoretical research. AIDS gene drugs are a breakthrough in applied technology, and the basic theory has long existed, so no matter how great he is, he will not be able to receive this scientific honor."
"It's a pity. I used the medicine he developed and completely cured my HIV infection. I have stopped taking the medicine for three months without recurrence. I really hope he can get all the honors."
"This is a very good microbiologist, the pride of the Eagle Nation, simply the light of the Eagle Nation."
"It's a pity that he is working for Sanqing instead of working for our pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Merck."
"The brain drain is really heartbreaking. If the Eagle Country wants to become great again, it cannot do without such talents. We must bring him back, no matter how much money we spend."
"I believe that his pharmaceutical companies or scientific research institutions in Eagle Country will definitely be able to develop achievements that shock the world."
"He can win the Peace Prize now in Sanqing. If Pfizer, wouldn't it be possible to win the Medicine Prize?"
"Great, I will be his fan from now on. Do you know his Twitter? I can follow him."
And in Bihu, Williams was discovered by sharp-eyed netizens just after he updated his question.
"My little secretary's fishing skills are getting worse and worse, it's time to snap the drumsticks."
"I can't even edit, and yet I won the Nobel Prize today. The Nobel Prize is awarded in October every year, so the time is wrong."
"Pfft, it's okay if it's not updated, but it's more confirmed that it's fake. No wonder the last time I saw this question, I thought something was weird. It turned out to be a fake reply."
Amidst Yishui's cynicism, an answer suddenly emerged.
"Damn it, don't you all know? A replacement Nobel Peace Prize was just awarded last night. The questioner may be telling the truth."
"Hey, it's scary to think about it carefully. It's really possible what you said. The new winner was announced last night, and this person will update it immediately. This is too timely."
"So this is the new Peace Prize winner? Williams Goodman? That makes sense. This person works in Sanqing."
"Hoho, isn't he from the Eagle Country? He won the Nobel Prize again. It's a hot time. When he returns to his country, he must have money and people. It's easy to do everything he wants. Why do you want to join the Chinese nationality?"
"Haha, you ask me, who should I ask?"
"This wave is a slap in the face, forcing users to break their defenses."
"Isn't that right? I'm a pure-blooded white man, a Nobel Prize winner, cured of AIDS, a Ph.D. from a famous university, and all the damn good buffs are stacked up, but he wants to abandon the Eagle Country and come here to apply for Chinese citizenship. Do you dare to believe it?"
"I dare to believe it, but those guys don't believe it."
"I don't believe it. If you do, wouldn't it mean that your dreams are shattered, your beliefs collapse, and your worldview is completely overturned?"
"I really don't understand, why does he want to stay in China?"
"I understand it very well. It must be that you are not living well in Eagle Country. If you are living well in China, you will naturally want to stay."
"You will know if you analyze this matter. You see, before he came to Sanqing, he had no sense of existence until Wuming. But after he came to Sanqing, he has achieved such great achievements in a short period of time. Doesn't that explain everything? "
"This old man is very clear-headed and understands the importance of the platform. He knows that Sanqing created him. If he wants to have greater career development in the future, he can only hope to stay in Sanqing instead of returning to Eagle Country. I bet that if he returns to China, he will be completely ignored by everyone."
The popularity of the post continued to rise, quickly reaching the hot list and attracting great attention.
However, on this day, it was particularly quiet. Some familiar faces that used to make people famous and had a strong presence suddenly disappeared.
****
Just when netizens were arguing in full swing.
Williams has arrived at the door of Wei Kang's office.
He looked at the closed door in front of him, raised his hand, and put it down again.
Only when he got here did he realize that it was really difficult to take that step.
On one side is the hometown that I want to escape from, and on the other is the new hometown that I dream of.
Taking this step will completely separate us from the past.
His life will also be completely changed.
The past is like smoke, and scenes flash before my eyes.
Two thoughts were constantly fighting fiercely in my mind.
Williams stood in the doorway, as still as a statue.
Finally, he took a deep breath, his eyes became determined, and he slowly raised his hand.
Just then, the door suddenly opened by itself.
Wei Kang's slender figure appeared at the door.
When he saw Williams standing outside the door, he suddenly looked stunned.
"Are you the Williams who just won the Peace Prize?"
"I'm looking for something to do with you."
"come in."
Wei Kang walked back again.
Williams let out a long breath and suddenly felt relieved, as if a huge burden had finally been lifted.
Okay, no need to worry.
Fate had already made the choice for him.
Next, it’s a matter of how to confess.
It is best to show your own value so that the boss can forgive him and help him.
After all, I am still very useful.
Thinking of this, he walked up to Wei Kang and spoke carefully.
"Boss, I also have something to say."
