The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 443 Heavier than Mount Tai
The security personnel accepted the task and joked with Liu Hua, saying, "It's true what they say, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' Professor Liu is really going to great lengths for his students."

“They travel thousands of miles to study, far from their hometown, parents, relatives, and friends. As their teacher, I must ensure their safety.”

The security guards chuckled and said, "How old are you? Still calling yourselves kids?"

The matter is very simple. Finding the suspect would be difficult, like finding a needle in a haystack, but now that the suspect has been identified, figuring out the whole story is much easier.

This woman wasn't a good person to begin with. She didn't have a proper job and dressed extravagantly all day long. Plus, she wasn't a professional. The security personnel just followed the clues and immediately figured it out.

Industrial espionage involves two university-run enterprises of Huaxing University. One manufactures photocopiers and printers, while the other produces 3D printers. Currently, they are aggressively expanding their presence in overseas markets, displaying remarkable arrogance.

Making money naturally attracts envy, and some people in Taiwan have come up with crooked ideas, thinking of stealing the technology, then slightly modifying it so they don't even have to pay patent fees.

The woman they chose had originally worked in the south, but she was lazy and vain. She envied the local women who wore makeup and gold and silver, so she started to take crooked paths.

She was first taken in by a truck driver who drove from Hong Kong to the mainland, and she could earn several thousand dollars a month. Later, the driver became a gambler and ruined his family business. The woman was left without a partner, and that's when she caught the eye of a Taiwanese company.

Taiwanese entrepreneurs also found out that much of the technology at Tsinghua University came from Liu Hua's Nodding Lab, so they gave the women a short training session, hoping to use their charms to win over Liu Hua's students.

Unfortunately, some people don't look like princes even when they wear dragon robes. That woman was not a decent person at all. During their interactions, Liu Hua's students noticed something was off and reported it to Liu Hua.

I don't know what these people are thinking, trying to fool the students of Tsinghua University with such idiots. This is Tsinghua University, the students are selected from the top students in the country, and their IQs are frighteningly high. Trying to deceive them is just wishful thinking.

The woman was, of course, imprisoned. As for the Taiwanese company, since it was a crucial time for attracting investment, they had to handle the situation discreetly.

After a stern warning and a hefty fine, with the threat of being imprisoned for several years if the offense repeated, the businessman was terrified. The warning from the relevant authorities was no gentle reminder; it was a miracle he didn't wet himself in fear.

The relevant departments also informed Tsinghua University about this matter, instructing them to keep a close watch on the researchers in the laboratory in Nanjing and to always maintain confidentiality.

Tsinghua University also quickly instructed its security department to give a confidentiality training course to the researchers in the laboratory, and Liu Hua's students were commended by the university and relevant departments.

Liu Hua talked to his wife about it, and Liu Feifei felt extremely guilty. She specially invited a group of students to her home to apologize to them.

"I've overlooked something, I forgot that you're both adults now and should be dating and getting married." Liu Feifei said sincerely, "I'll start arranging things for you tomorrow."

It seems this matchmaker is really addicted. After failing to find a partner for her son, Liu Feifei turned her attention to these students. However, these students are clearly much more conscientious than her own son.

Later, with Liu Feifei's help, more than a dozen couples were successfully matched, and their married life was quite happy.

Liu Hua felt that time seemed to pass much faster after entering the 1990s. Before, there were 365 days in a year, which he had to count on his fingers.

The 365 days seem to fly by, and in the blink of an eye, it's Chinese New Year again. A family reunion is supposed to be a wonderful thing. But Liu Guodong feels extremely upset, for no other reason than his mother has arranged another blind date for him.

Liu Hua said he couldn't help, "It's your own fault for not being more ambitious. If you had a girlfriend, your mother wouldn't be in such a hurry."

After going on more than ten blind dates, Liu Jianguo could only slink away in disgrace. In fact, all of these dozen or so girls had their eyes on him, but he just didn't like them.

The girl wasn't stupid. Before the blind date, she knew a bit about the Liu family's background: a very wealthy family, and he himself was hardworking, already earning a doctorate, with a bright future ahead of him. He was definitely a golden catch.

After her son passed away, Liu Hua threw herself into her work.

Unfortunately, our year didn't start well. In February, the Long March 3B rocket crashed and exploded after only 22 seconds of flight.

The aerospace workers are heartbroken, but they have learned from their mistakes. Without today's failure, they would not have been determined to focus on quality, and every launch they have made since has been a complete success.

Liu Hua subconsciously checked the rocket engine technology in the cheat program. There was a lot of it, but he couldn't afford many of them.

He saw the warp drive, but unfortunately, he could only sigh at the price. However, there were hydrogen-oxygen rotary detonation engines, magnetic plasma engines, and so on, which could still be achieved with some effort.

However, it's useless at the moment because the current processing technology can't reach that level. Liu Hua could only grit his teeth and quit the cheat program. Watching it too much would only upset him.

Actually, even without considering this, Liu Hua has been quite troubled lately. Since the Lunar New Year, his parents' health has not been good, especially his father, who was hospitalized.

In the early 1980s, my older brother was transferred back, and my parents lived with him ever since. Four or five years ago, my grandparents passed away one after the other.

At that time, Liu Hua was quite heartbroken and could only numb herself with work. Although they were not her soulmates, she was a blood relative of them and had received their care and love. Over the years, Liu Hua had long since accepted this psychologically.

Now that his parents are also reaching this stage, birth, aging, illness, and death are all part of human nature, especially for someone of Liu Hua's age, they should be able to accept it.

But for some reason, Liu Hua just can't seem to get over it this year.

He had to go to the hospital almost every day. Although his father was not in good spirits, he kept admonishing Liu Hua: "You have the ability, so take on more responsibility. Don't let my health delay your work."

Sometimes Liu Hua really couldn't understand how they could take life and death so lightly, or how they could take their work so seriously.

Perhaps in their minds, it truly reflects the saying, "Some things are heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather."
