Because the warehouse laboratory has been renovated recently, Zhao Minglan brought some things from home and placed them in Ma Xiaoquan's dormitory.
Ma Xiaoquan felt that Zhao Minglan knocked on the door every time, and sometimes he was not in the dormitory. Zhao Minglan came several times without entering the door to get it, so he simply gave Zhao Minglan a key to the dormitory so that she could come and get her things at any time.
When Zhao Minglan opened the dormitory door, he couldn't help but frown.
Looking up, Ma Xiaoquan was lying on his back, snoring and sleeping.
"This guy is absent from work again!" Zhao Minglan was so angry that she stepped forward and kicked him without even looking.
Ma Xiaoquan felt pain in his butt and lazily opened his eyes to see Zhao Minglan staring at him with his hands on his hips.
"Why are you here?" Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.
"Why can't I come? I have my stuff with you. Here, here it is, a souvenir sent by Ma Liehuo from Rose City. My teacher asked me to bring it to you."
"Your teacher, oh, you mean Professor Ma Ruiqing, right?" Ma Xiaoquan got out of bed and took the bag of souvenirs.
Zhao Minglan's pretty face turned red and she said, "Can you, can you put on your clothes and pants first?"
Ma Xiaoquan huffed and then noticed that he was wearing a pair of underwear.
After quickly putting on his clothes and pants, Ma Xiaoquan opened the souvenir bag, which contained candied fruits and other snacks.
"Have you eaten yet?" Ma Xiaoquan picked up a candied fruit and asked Zhao Minglan, who shook his head.
"Then let's eat together. I heard that your laboratory has been completed. After eating, I will go and have a look with you."
When Zhao Minglan heard that Ma Xiaoquan was going with her, she was very happy, but at the same time she also asked whether Ma Xiaoquan was absent from work?
Ma Xiaoquan explained with a smile: "The master who worked with me today asked for leave, and we have to do this work together. If he is away, I can't do it, so the workshop director asked me to come back first."
"That's it~" Zhao Minglan nodded.
After eating the local specialties, the two went to the laboratory together.
At this time, the city leaders and their entourage were in the laboratory, following the guidance of Professor Ma Ruiqing for an orderly visit.
By the time Ma Xiaoquan and Zhao Minglan arrived at the laboratory, the mayor and his party had almost finished the tour.
Yang Lei had been waiting for Zhao Minglan outside the door. Seeing her coming with Ma Xiaoquan, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
When he arrived at the entrance of the laboratory, the source inside his body suddenly transmitted a message to Ma Xiaoquan, telling him that it could clearly sense the location of the fragment of the source of energy.
"Should we just rush in and get it?" Ma Xiaoquan suggested.
"No, didn't you see the mayor's car is here too?"
Yuan can share the field of view with Ma Xiaoquan, that is to say, what Ma Xiaoquan sees, Yuan can also see.
"I don't have to go in directly to get it. I'm not stupid. I'm just talking. But I have to go in first to know the specific location of the source of energy."
While Yuan and Ma Xiaoquan were communicating, the mayor and his party came out of the laboratory.
After some more pleasantries, the mayor led the group to leave.
After seeing off the mayor and his party, Professor Ma Ruiqing took a long breath, turned around and saw Ma Xiaoquan.
"That young man, come here~" Professor Ma Ruiqing waved to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and walked up to Ma Ruiqing.
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan was very excited because this was the first time he had met his aunt at such a close distance. He did not have a deep impression of his aunt. Although he always heard his father mention it when he was a child, most of the time it was because your aunt was very busy and flew all day long.
Flying here and there for academic seminars and the like.
"Aunt..." Ma Xiaoquan said the words and quickly changed his words, "Hello, Professor Ma, my name is Ma Xiaohu."
"Hmm~" Ma Rui counted his head, "I know you. You are friends with our Liehuo. Have you eaten the local specialties Minglan brought you?"
"Eat it, eat it, it's delicious. Lie Huo is really thoughtful."
Ma Ruiqing stared at Ma Xiaoquan for a long time before saying, "I heard that you have a girlfriend from abroad who is very beautiful and rich?"
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp and rolled his eyes at Zhao Minglan who was next to Ma Ruiqing.
Zhao Minglan stuck out his tongue.
"When do you plan to get married?"
Ma Xiaoquan groaned and shook his head quickly: "I haven't thought about this yet. I haven't reached the legal age for marriage yet."
Ma Ruiqing smiled: "You can get married first, and then get the certificate when you reach the age."
"This... this won't work~" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, "I am a more traditional person and I also abide by the law."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Minglan was the first to couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes at Zhao Minglan again, and the latter quickly said: "Yes, Xiaohu is usually quite good."
Professor Ma Ruiqing shook his head: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. Since you are Minglan's younger brother, if you have nothing to do, you can come to the laboratory to find her."
"Ah? Really?" Ma Xiaoquan was overjoyed. He was worried about not being able to enter the laboratory, but his aunt actually agreed directly.
"Teacher, I don't agree~" Yang Lei suddenly interrupted, "Ma Xiaohu is not our research member and doesn't know anything. What if the instruments or equipment materials are damaged after entering?"
Zhao Minglan said: "Xiaohu is not the kind of person who has a weak hand."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, I don't understand, but I won't touch it randomly."
Yang Lei was about to retort, but Ma Ruiqing said: "Okay, let's not argue. You have also seen today that the mayor and his party are here. They look everywhere and ask questions. There are no secrets in our laboratory."
The reason why Ma Ruiqing did this was also to avoid suspicion. Edward is a foreigner, and his sudden free and unconditional investment to help her build such a large and complete laboratory will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the municipal party committee leaders. At present, the private economy has just been liberalized, and there are many fish, dragons, snakes, and shrimps.
Now, some foreign forces will inevitably send spies to spy on the country's intelligence on the pretext of donating free aid or helping you lay the foundation. So there is a reason why the leaders of the municipal party committee came here today to ask about this and that.
Ma Xiaoquan was also hesitating whether to take the time to tell his aunt directly. At this pace, it would be very difficult for him to see or find the source of energy normally and take it out.
When I was still serving in the national special forces, I heard my comrades mention my great-aunt. Although my great-aunt did not participate in politics and her research topics were more commercial, in some cases, the results of scientific research are interoperable, such as
, some of the results of research on chemical fertilizers can also be used in the research of nuclear bombs after verification. In the same way, my aunt has been dedicated to researching anti-aging topics, and can actually be used in biopharmaceuticals and even biochemical weapons.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan decided to make it clear to his aunt, but now was not a good time.
"Well, another day, thank you Professor Ma. If possible, I would like to pay a special visit to Professor Ma another day."
Professor Ma was stunned for a moment and thought to herself, what do you and I have to talk about? However, for the sake of face, she still smiled kindly: "Okay, let's wait for another day."
Yang Lei was very happy when he heard that Ma Xiaoquan did not enter the laboratory. He was a little jealous before, but now he felt better.
When I said goodbye to Professor Ma, Professor Edward came.
Edward didn't know Ma Xiaoquan, of course, because he was obsessed with research. When the Yu family issued the announcement, he didn't have time to read it, so he didn't know that Ma Xiaoquan was Mr. J.
But Ma Xiaoquan knew that Edward was from the Yu family. Although he heard Zhao Minglan mention Edward, Ma Xiaoquan had never been sure since he had never seen the real person. Now that he saw him in person, Ma Xiaoquan understood immediately.
On the surface, Edward is a professor of the American Empire, but in fact, he is one of the core figures of the Yu family in the underground world.
And Zhuoyi Laboratory, which was able to unconditionally and regardless of cost, assist Ma Ruiqing in establishing Phoenix City, is enough to prove that this is the Yu family's plan for the overall situation.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seems that he really cannot be deceived by Yue Ting's young face. When he comes into contact with her, he always forgets her true age because of her youthful vitality. Now it seems that she has never been
Relaxation, never.

A week later, the leaders of the municipal party committee took a group of people to visit the laboratory.
Because the notice was given in advance and the laboratory was inside the riveting factory, the reception task this time was handed over to the riveting factory.
Ma Xiaoquan was selected as a receptionist because of his outstanding skills. When Yue Ting donated tools to the riveting factory as an overseas Chinese, he also worked as a receptionist by mistake. However, this time Ma Xiaoquan did not want to do it, but he was selected.
It was difficult to refuse, so he could only make up a lie to Zhao Jianshe, saying that if possible, he wanted to sneak into the laboratory to see if he could find the "Ming".
Zhao Jianshe was recently driven crazy by that pair of foreigners. When Ma Xiaoquan said this, he immediately agreed with a wave of his hand and arranged a job for him.
With Zhao Jianshe's approval, Ma Xiaoquan could openly stop working.
However, after a week of thinking, I decided to go to my aunt to explain everything, and through her, I would directly cut off some of the remaining pieces of the source of energy and give it to him.
"Are you sure you want to do this? How do you know whether Ma Ruiqing will reveal your identity?" Yuan's voice sounded in Ma Xiaoquan's mind.
"She is my aunt. She was born into a military family. Keeping confidentiality is the most basic requirement for military children." Ma Xiaoquan responded firmly.
In the evening, Zhao Jianshe led a group of people to invite the municipal party committee leaders to dinner. On the surface, it was to better promote the municipal party committee's support for the laboratory's work. In fact, it was also to lay the foundation for his personal further development.
It happened that Professor Ma Ruiqing was disgusted with this kind of officialdom, so he simply left everything to Zhao Jianshe. Zhao Jianshe was also happy with it. He made the municipal party committee leaders very happy with a meal of good words and wine.
Professor Ma Ruiqing saw that the time was ripe, so he made an excuse and led several people back to the laboratory.
