Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Chapter 632 Are You a Scientist?

Li Zhenmin recounted the general course of events, but did not repeat Zhou Bingkun's actions verbatim. Instead, he made some slight modifications and polished it.

No mention was made of Zhou Bingkun's stubborn insistence on holding on to the backpack; instead, the incident was simply ignored and his courageous spirit in fighting against the criminals was exaggerated.

Zhou Bingkun is a down-to-earth person, and he felt even more embarrassed after being edited by Li Zhenmin.

He was not really stupid, and he naturally felt that Li Zhenmin was giving him face in front of his father, but he felt that he did not deserve it.

So after Li Zhenmin finished speaking, he embarrassedly added the true situation.

Upon hearing this, Li Suhua's face changed immediately.

Zhou Zhigang's face instantly turned dark.

Just when Zhou Zhi was about to lose his temper, Li Zhenmin quickly persuaded him, "Brother Zhou, don't be angry, don't be angry. Bingkun is just honest, which is a very good quality. With a little polish, he can shine. What's more, it won't be long before the police station will send a banner. If you blame him, isn't it just saying that the police station misjudged him?"

Zhou Zhigang calmed down immediately and said to Zhou Bingkun unhappily, "You are lucky, if the leader hadn't asked for your hand in marriage today, I would have had to pry your head open to see."

Others felt increasingly strange.

It’s not because of Zhou Zhigang’s attitude towards Zhou Bingkun, but because of Zhou Zhigang’s attitude towards Li Zhenmin.

It seems like he acted... a little timid from the very beginning when we met?

Everyone knows that Zhou Zhigang is a straightforward person with serious male chauvinism. It is difficult for others to persuade him to do something. He has always been very arrogant and never yields to the powerful.

But today in front of Li Zhenmin, he seemed to be too obedient.

Li Wanying was also very curious at this time, so she asked, "Brother Zhou, do you know my brother?"

Hearing this, the others no longer bothered about calling him "Brother Zhou" and all turned their attention to Zhou Zhigang. Even Li Zhenmin was a little curious. After all, he was a time traveler and knew Zhou Zhigang's character. His actions today did seem a little wrong.

Zhou Zhigang glanced at everyone and asked in surprise: "Don't you know each other?"

Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan all shook their heads.

Zhou Zhigang didn't care about Zheng Juan and Li Suhua's reactions, but when he saw Zhou Bingkun acting the same way, he suddenly became angry again.

He stood up angrily and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go find something."

Everyone became more and more confused, not knowing what Zhou Zhigang was up to.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhigang got up from the kang, went to the inner room, rummaged around for a while, and soon returned to the main room with a yellowed but clean and tidy newspaper in his hand.

You can tell at a glance that the newspaper is a bit old, but it has been well preserved and is not damaged.

Zhou Zhigang handed the newspaper to Zhou Bingkun, then looked at Li Zhenmin and explained, "It's like this. More than ten years ago, the country wanted to carry out large-scale construction. I was an eighth-level construction worker in the Southwest Third Line. One time, my leader was in poor health and could not travel far, so he asked me to go to attend a workers' meeting on his behalf."

"I went to Sijiu City to attend the meeting. It was at that time that I saw many eighth-level workers and leaders, and I also heard your speech on the stage."

"I have always remembered what you said to us at that time. I recognized you the first time I saw you today, especially when you said your name, I knew I was not mistaken."

Hearing this, Li Zhenmin vaguely remembered.

It seemed that there was such a meeting. At that time, he was an outstanding worker selected by the country, and he went on the stage as a representative to give a furious speech. However, it was not a big deal, so Li Zhenmin did not have a deep impression of it. It was not until Zhou Zhigang mentioned it that he had some impression.

At this time, Zhou Zhigang turned to look at Zhou Bingkun again and said unhappily: "Didn't I tell you about this? Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"

Zhou Bingkun didn't care about his father's accusations. His mind was confused.

No wonder I felt so familiar when I heard the three words Li Zhenmin. It turned out to be this incident.

He still remembered that his father once came home for the New Year and kept telling him in the newspaper that there are always people better than you, and how Li Zhenmin was so amazing and how he became a top chef and an eighth-level worker through his own efforts without receiving higher education.

At the time, he was very disgusted with these things, thinking that they were said by officials to deceive the people, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Unexpectedly, I would meet the real person today.

Of course, the newspaper was not promoting the recollection. Li Zhenmin did not appear in that recollection at all. This newspaper was an interview with Li Zhenmin about how he came up with solar power generation.

Some general information about Li Zhenmin was written on it, especially the string of eighth-level workers which was particularly eye-catching.

"Electrician level 8, welder level 8, fitter level 8, forger level 8, auto repair level 8, cook level 1... Proficient in English, Russian, and French..."

Zhou Bingkun muttered to himself.

Li Suhua finally remembered this incident. Zhou Zhigang had used this to educate Zhou Bingkun many times at that time.

Zheng Juan has been working for the Zhou family for the past two years, so she is not clear about what happened back then, but she knows what an eighth-level worker is. In her impression, that is the highest level of worker and an honor for a worker.

Every level eight worker is the backbone of the unit and is a top figure no matter where he is placed.

He also knew that his father-in-law was an eighth-level worker, and because of this status he was usually very arrogant and most people didn't dare to mess with him.

It was the first time for her to see so many Grade 8 worker titles on one person, and there were also some that said he was proficient in English and Russian, as well as some other introductions at the end...

She subconsciously looked at Li Zhenmin.

Looking at the person who could be touched within her reach, she felt it was so unreal.

Li Suhua and Zheng Juan had similar reactions. They just felt their brains were not working properly.

Only Zhou Bingkun still couldn't accept it. After being shocked, he always felt that these were very untrue...

Li Zhenmin didn't know what other people were thinking. He just smiled and said, "I have some impression of it. It's been a while. Brother Zhou, please don't be distant with me because of this. My family conditions were not as good as yours before. I also climbed up from the bottom, so don't be distant with me just because you think I'm an official."

Li Wanying also said, "That's right, our mother died early, and we didn't even have anything to eat. We are not what you think. Besides, my brother has never been in politics in recent years. He has only been doing research. Now he is not an official. At most, he is a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

Look, is this human language?

What? Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences? That’s fine.

Zhou Zhigang opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhou Bingkun suddenly remembered that the so-called Professor Li was not an official, but a researcher, so was it possible that the newspaper was not false?

At this time, Zheng Juan also asked curiously: "Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences...is that the scientist everyone is talking about?"
