A few days later, Williams came to Wei Kang's office again.
At first sight, he was attracted by the white plastic card on the table.
"Oh my God! This is the green card I dream of!"
Williams stepped forward quickly, grabbed the small card, stared at the words 'Foreigner's Permanent Residence Card' and turned it over several times. When he saw his name and photo again, his heart dropped. down.
He was immediately excited: "Boss, you are really amazing. There is really nothing you can't do. You have solved the biggest crisis in my life so quickly. I will definitely work hard in Sanqing from now on..."
Wei Kang chuckled: "Don't be too happy too early. The other party also has conditions for this matter. They require you to keep your previous work in Eagle Country secret and not reveal any confidential information. Otherwise, they will reserve the right to pursue it, especially in front of the public. It is even more forbidden to mention this matter or reveal any relevant content.”
"Both parties will maintain a tacit understanding and treat you as a normal scientist for naturalization."
"However, I estimate that after word spreads about your naturalization as a Chinese citizen, your reputation in the Eagle Country will be very bad, which is equivalent to ostracizing yourself from overseas academic circles. You must be mentally prepared for this."
“Domestic media will also hype you up, creating a banner that attracts talent from around the world.”
At this point, Wei Kang narrowed his eyes: "Believe me, you will definitely be very comfortable staying in Sanqing."
"Applying to become a Chinese citizen is definitely the best thing you can do in your life."
Williams was overjoyed and bowed his head.
"Thank you, boss. It is the greatest luck in my life to meet a wise boss like you."
"Don't worry, I used to be a little chess piece in Eagle Country, useless at all. Only when I come to Sanqing can I shine. I will spare no effort to do this job well."
Wei Kang nodded with satisfaction: "There will be a press conference in the afternoon to introduce you to the media. Please prepare."
Williams returned to the office excitedly and couldn't help but pump his fist in the air.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the call and found that it was actually a caller from Eagle Country, and it was from someone he didn't expect.
Professor Ferguson, his original doctoral advisor at Cornell.
After hesitating for a while, he answered the phone and stood up and walked to the stairwell.
"Hi, dear professor, long time no see."
Professor Ferguson's hearty voice rang out: "Dear William, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You rarely contact me via email, and you didn't tell me even though you have made such great achievements. I still heard about you from my colleagues. The latest news.”
Williams felt a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, but this news is also very sudden to me, so..."
Professor Ferguson interrupted him with a smile: "I understand, you must be very busy at work, how about it? What are your plans after winning the Peace Prize?"
"I haven't thought too far yet. I will probably continue to do research in Sanqing." Williams pondered.
Professor Ferguson said in surprise: "Are you planning to stay in Sanqing for the rest of your life? This is not a good thing for you."
…
"Although I know you have done a good job in Sanqing, Eagle Country is your true destination. As long as you are willing to come back, no matter whether it is money or honor, it will be a piece of cake."
"By the way, I have a new antiviral drug project in cooperation with Gilead. Are you interested? With your ability, you will definitely be able to do well when you come back."
Williams immediately revealed that the academic and medical circles in Eagle Country probably didn't know that he was going to become a Chinese national, and were still trying their best to invite him back, but now that he has made up his mind, he will definitely not waver.
So he shook his head and decisively rejected the other party: "Professor, my career is in China, and there has been new development recently. I like the atmosphere of Sanqing and will not go back."
Professor Ferguson still refused to give up: "It doesn't matter. You have just made achievements now, so naturally you won't want to come back. This is understandable, but I believe that in a few years, you will change your mind, and the door here will always be open to you."
Williams thought for a while, and in order to make the professor give up completely, he threw out a bomb.
"Professor, I have actually submitted an application to join the Chinese nationality, and I will soon become a Chinese. My homeland will be China from now on, and I will never return to Eagle Country."
"What? You!" Professor Ferguson was stunned and couldn't believe his ears: "Are you kidding?"
"Of course not, I got the Chinese green card today." Williams said firmly.
"Fake! Do you know what you are doing? Are you severing yourself from academia?"
Professor Ferguson was instantly furious and said angrily: "You really disappoint me by doing this. Don't call yourself my student in the future."
With a "click" sound, he hung up the phone.
"It sounds like I had some development in the academic world of Eagle Country before. Haha."
Williams shrugged and smiled nonchalantly.
He had already expected the teacher's reaction and didn't feel too sad.
He returned to his seat leisurely, and not long after, he found that there were many more emails in his personal mailbox.
Classmates who were acquainted with him in the past all sent letters to him asking him why, saying that they did not understand his behavior, and all of them expressed strong dissatisfaction and regret.
Williams smiled faintly and did not reply.
By the time the afternoon press conference ends and the news spreads overseas, these people will naturally know what he really thinks.
Anyway, he is already Chinese, so as long as he expresses his attitude, it has nothing to do with him whether these people can understand him or not.
In the afternoon, Wei Kang took Williams to the press conference.
The audience was filled with all major media who came after hearing the news and carried long guns and short guns.
Whether it is domestic official media, radio stations in Kunming and Haishi, or overseas media giants such as Eagle United Press and Reuters.
They are all here, waiting to interview the new Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Williams refused to answer any calls from strangers these days, so they stayed in Sanqingyuan for several days without finding a suitable opportunity. Naturally, they were very excited to be interviewed publicly this time, and they prepared many questions for each of them.
Wei Kang coughed lightly and said slowly: "Hello everyone, let me introduce you. The person sitting next to me is Williams. He is now the head of the Sanqing Microbiology Laboratory. Previously, he was involved in the research and development of HIV gene drugs. The shaping of the recombinant genetic virus played a decisive role and resulted in the Nobel Peace Prize.”
…
"Okay, let him speak next."
This was Williams' first press conference. He had always stayed in the laboratory and rarely had the experience of such a big scene, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
However, he quickly adjusted and spoke calmly.
"Hi everyone, you can call me Dawei, it will be more cordial."
"First of all, I would like to thank Sanqing for providing such a powerful platform, which has enabled me to achieve my current achievements. As for the Peace Prize, I am really surprised and pleasantly surprised, so I would like to express my deep gratitude here."
"Next, I will continue my research on microorganisms in Sanqing. Recently I found a bacterium that can eat a variety of plastics. I am developing a super enzyme that can degrade plastics. The progress is very smooth. I believe we will soon There will be new results and it will enter large-scale industrial production, thereby completely solving the global white pollution problem."
"This is pretty much the current situation. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."
The media in the audience were instantly shocked.
This Williams is really amazing. He just won the Peace Prize and immediately made a new discovery, and the results will be produced soon.
He is truly a rare talent in the field of microbiology.
The media outlets of Eagle United and Reuters were even more surprised. It was great that such an awesome talent was from Eagle Country.
If we can bring technology back to Eagle Country, it will definitely bring huge economic benefits.
They were so excited that they raised their hands and asked questions one after another.
"Hello Dawei, have you ever considered returning to Eagle Country for development? Talents like you are very good even in Eagle Country, and you will definitely be able to better display your talents." The reporter from Eagle United Press couldn't wait. Ask questions.
"How did you develop the genetically recombinant virus? Can you explain the trick?" The Reuters reporter wanted to know some technical details.
"How is your working atmosphere in Sanqing? Are you satisfied with your life in Huaxia?"
"Do you have any long-term development plans in China?"
"Is your family in Eagle Country or China? Have you considered living and working in China?"
"The super enzyme that degrades plastic sounds very powerful at first glance. Can you tell me more about it?"
"Is Dawei your Chinese name? Is it difficult for you to learn Chinese?"
"Do you know how to use tachyons? What is your favorite Chinese food?"
These are all journalists from China, all with shining eyes, not missing any hot spots.
Williams smiled and answered one by one, waiting until everyone had asked almost all the questions.
He finally turned serious and said very seriously: "Everyone, at the end of the press conference, I have important news to tell you."
As he spoke, he took out a white card from his pocket, shook it in front of the camera, and said.
"Today is the most important day in my life, even more important than the day I won the Nobel Prize."
"Because, I finally got the Chinese green card I dreamed of, and in the near future, I will officially join the Chinese nationality and become a Chinese."
Williams' words were like a bomb exploding instantly.
…
All the media reporters were stunned and looked at him dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.
The whole place was silent and you could hear a pin drop.
After a few seconds, everyone jumped up.
Countless people rushed to ask questions loudly, completely forgetting to raise their hands.
The entire venue was noisy, noisier than a vegetable market.
"Quiet! If you have any questions, please come one by one."
Wei Kang raised the microphone and said something.
Soon, the media realized their gaffe and quickly returned to normal.
They raised their hands in unison, and countless questions were flowing on their lips, and they wanted to spit them out immediately.
"Can you tell me the reason? What made you so determined to give up your Eagle Country citizenship and choose China?"
"There are also many foreign scientists working here in China. They travel between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and their lives and work are not delayed. Why didn't you choose such a more relaxed path?"
"Is such a radical behavior a complete statement of stance towards China and the Three Purities?"
Although the Chinese media was eager, they were more curious and wanted to explore his heart and find out why he did what he did.
The media outlets of Eagle United and Reuters were much more irritable, their attitude was obviously a bit unfriendly, and the questions they asked became more and more pointed.
"Why? Is there anything wrong with Eagle Country? Or is there something wrong with you?"
"Are you sure you won't regret your decision today?"
"It's just a green card, which is enough for working in Sanqing. Why do you need to apply for nationality? Don't you think it's a bit excessive?"
"Isn't this a betrayal of the motherland?"
“Are you worthy of the person who awarded you the Peace Prize?”
"Although science has no borders, scientists have their own country. Have you forgotten this sentence?"
"How much did Sanqing give you?"
"You are a high-end talent cultivated by Eagle Country. After you have achieved results, the first thing you think of is to join another country?"
There was even a reporter from Eagle Country who was so excited that he was so excited that he almost vomited fragrance.
"Oh my god, do you know what you are doing? Has all the patriotic education you received since childhood been in vain? Fake!"
"With such a bad character like yours, any scientist would be ashamed to associate with you."
He jumped up angrily and threw the microphone on the stage, almost hitting Williams on the head.
Two burly security guards ran over quickly and took him out one at a time.
He left a sentence that echoed in the scene.
Williams smiled awkwardly, never expecting that the media in Eagle Country would react so loudly.
He raised the microphone in his hand and said loudly: "I can only say sorry to Eagle Country."
"I made this decision after careful consideration. I will not regret it now or in the future."
"Please don't over-interpret this, thank you very much."
Wei Kang opened his mouth to rescue him in time.
"Everyone, this is a free society. Technology and talents should flow freely. Scientists can choose where they like."
"I am very proud that William chose Sanqing. This means that Sanqing has a very strong attraction for high-end overseas talents."
…
“We welcome experts from all over the world to come to Sanqing to study and work. Sanqing’s door will always be open to you.”
"Okay, that ends today's press conference. Thank you everyone for your participation."
After saying this, he stood up and left the stage, not giving the foreign media any chance to get angry.
"Damn, this is the biggest shame I've ever been in this business."
"Farke, I must punish this traitor verbally and let him see the power of the media."
"Shit, this press conference is a joke."
The overseas media left cursing.
The domestic media were elated, shocked and tinged with pride.
After all, there are many Chinese people who have joined the Eagle Country, but people from the Eagle Country who have joined the Chinese citizenship are even rarer than giant pandas.
They were gearing up one by one, wrote the report in the car, and published the big news at the speed of light.
Sure enough, netizens were shocked when they saw this news.
"Wow, big news, the Peace Prize winner defected, awesome!"
"This is too exciting. My grandma can't believe such outrageous news."
"It was fake at first glance, but when I saw it was published by the official media, I couldn't help but believe it."
"This human beacon can no longer retain people, there is a brain drain."
"Not only is the manufacturing industry outflowing, but high-end talents are also outflowing. Is this still the beacon we know?"
"Maga is probably a complete pill."
"Aren't you curious why?"
"It goes without saying that Sanqing is better than Yingguo. Water flows to lower places and people go to higher places."
Overseas netizens were also angry when they saw this news.
Everyone on the Internet yelled at Williams, accusing him of forgetting his roots.
Suddenly, he became a hot topic all over the Internet.
It's just that one side is red and the other is black, the contrast is extremely sharp.
****
Eagle Country, DC City, Hilton Hotel.
The annual meeting of the Eagle Country Microbiology Society is being held here. It is the largest gathering of microbiologists in the world, with nearly 10,000 professionals from all over the world attending the meeting every year.
At this time, after a meeting.
Everyone came to the cafeteria, gathered together in twos and threes, and chatted eagerly.
Among them, Williams Goodman is the most mentioned name.
All the scholars present shook their heads and expressed their disdain.
"Although this William is very talented, his character is very questionable. Such a person puts profit first. Even if he goes to China, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything in the future."
Jacob is a senior microbiologist. He adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, drank coffee, and talked to people around him about the hottest news in the industry recently.
"Yes, if a scientist has no morals, he will turn into an evil mad scientist and become a rat that everyone screams for."
[By the way, the best one for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, .yeguoyuedu installs the latest version. 】
"Do you think this is a bit strange?" an expert with messy hair and a plaid shirt asked curiously.
"Do you know this person? I've never heard of him before. Why did he suddenly become a dark horse in the microbiology world?"
"Haha, I know him. He is an alumnus of mine. We worked in the same laboratory."
…
Jacob said disdainfully: "He was mediocre before. He only achieved success by holding on to Sanqing's thigh. Such a person's achievements are just accidental. He probably got some shit luck. This is where his achievements end." That’s it.”
"That's right, there is a saying that if you stand on the wind, a pig can fly. He is the pig standing on the wind. He was sent to the sky by Sanqing, and he didn't know who he was. It's like this How can a person achieve so much?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a weak voice intervened.
"Well, I watched the press conference, and he seems to have made a new discovery. It is a super enzyme that can swallow a variety of plastics. It is said that it will be industrialized and mass-produced soon, and it can solve the problem of plastics that cause great harm to the environment. pollute."
Everyone fell silent immediately.
Jacob's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he glared hard at the person who spoke.
The man seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing and remained silent at the moment.
After a while, someone changed the topic and continued to discuss other news.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and the name Williams was never mentioned again.
This name has become a taboo word that cannot be explained clearly.
After a day of meetings, Jacob returned to his hotel room.
Although it was late at night, he was not sleepy at all, and kept pacing back and forth beside the bed with a frown on his face.
After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, sat down in front of the computer, quietly opened the official website of Sanqing, and browsed the recruitment information of major laboratories.
Soon, he secretly sent out his edited resume.
Seeing the message "Email sent successfully", Jacob was inexplicably nervous.
But more of it is excitement and anticipation.
He crossed himself on his chest and had only one sentence in his mind.
"Damn it, I really want to be that pig in the wind."
I can extract side effects
