I manage female characters in all the heavens.

According to Gao Jiyuan's will, if he dies unexpectedly, all of his compensation should be given to "Liu Ting" for the subsequent research on the electromagnetic railgun.

But Liu Ting never intended to take the money.

But she could handle the rest of the Railgun stuff with 100 million, so there's no need for 200 billion.

And she's not short of money.

Therefore, she decided to return the compensation to the person who deserved it most.

When the staff transferred the 2000 billion yuan compensation to Yu Qiaoqiao's personal account, Yu Qiaoqiao stared at the extremely eye-catching number for a long time.

That sum of money was enough for her to lord it over the city of Jiangnan, enough to ensure she would live a life of comfort and ease, and enough for her to do whatever she wanted.

As a result, Yu Qiaoqiao, that silly girl, donated the 2000 billion yuan to the country as soon as she got it, without keeping a single penny for herself.

Although this earned her a four-star contribution level and granted her special privileges, these privileges were insignificant compared to what 2000 billion could bring her.

Yu Qiaoqiao said, "My father has dedicated his whole life to contributing to humanity, but he has never brought any economic benefits to the family because of his rank and status. He has also never cared about the family, and that's why my mother divorced him."

"Now that my father is dead, the government has given him such a large sum of money, which is obviously far beyond what he deserved. If I accept it, it would be a desecration of my father's selfless dedication throughout his life!"

"My father's contributions and selflessness should not be equated with vulgar money."

"Besides, even your junior sister who sought justice for Dad didn't want this money, so I, as her daughter who did nothing, should have even less right to accept it."

Yu Qiaoqiao spoke sweetly, but Liu Ting could tell that Yu Qiaoqiao harbored resentment.

Gao Jiyuan dedicated his life to humanity and the country, but his death was met with controversy. If it weren't for Liu Ting stepping forward to uncover the truth and seek justice for him, her father would have died with a grievance.

Yu Qiaoqiao understood that it was only human nature for everyone to act that way; it was a deduction made based on logic and experience without a clear understanding of the situation, and there was no malice in it.

But she just couldn't accept it; after all, he was her father. So she refused the compensation, using this method to bring Gao Jiyuan's life to a perfect close.

Everyone witnessed that Gao Jiyuan did not take a single needle from the country during his lifetime, nor did he take a single penny from the country after his death. He wholeheartedly dedicated himself to all mankind!

He is the most selfless hero!

This is Yu Qiaoqiao's deepest thought.

Liu Ting didn't say much and left with Yu Qiaoqiao.

Upon returning to the Institute of High Energy Physics, she immediately raised Yu Qiaoqiao's salary and position significantly within her authority.

Although Yu Qiaoqiao is still a junior researcher, "Liu Ting" directly gave her the position of "project executive director," with salary and benefits comparable to those of a senior expert.

She also specifically established a rule within the research group:

"From now on, Yu Qiaoqiao can access all core data; Yu Qiaoqiao has the right to make suggestions on all core decisions."

"Anyone who is dissatisfied with Qiaoqiao's work arrangements should come directly to me. No underhanded tactics are allowed."

Yu Qiaoqiao was startled by her actions and waved her hands repeatedly, saying no, but "Liu Ting" didn't give her a chance to refuse.

"If you donate 200 billion, I won't stop you; that's your freedom."

“But you will receive the treatment you deserve from me, not a penny less. Otherwise, people will say that I, Liu Ting, am heartless and ungrateful, even mistreating my teacher’s daughter.”

Gao Jiyuan treated "Liu Ting" exceptionally well, and as Yu Qiaoqiao was Gao Jiyuan's only remaining relative, "Liu Ting" naturally took good care of her.

It's just 200 billion. In the future, it could be 2 trillion, 20 trillion. As long as Yu Qiaoqiao wants it, she can use this relationship to ask "Liu Ting" for it.

Of course, there's a high probability she won't want it at all.

The world is often so paradoxical: the more you want money, the less likely you are to get it, while those who don't want money are the most likely to get it.

Yu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't refuse anymore.

She knew in her heart that her junior sister was doing this to make amends to her on behalf of her father.

Although she never felt she needed to make amends, she appreciated her junior sister's kindness.

Chapter 271 Luo Feng: Am I going to receive a big gift?

Time flies, and it's already August 19th.

The memorial service for Academician Gao Jiyuan was held as scheduled at the Hero Hall Funeral Home in Jiangnan Base City.

As a senior academician, Gao Jiyuan's theoretical status is equivalent to that of a high-level war god. His memorial service will also be broadcast live nationwide, just like that of a war god-level powerhouse.

There are only a few memorial services of this caliber throughout the country each year, and they are mostly memorial services for powerful warriors who died in battle.

Memorial services for such senior scientific researchers have not been held nationwide for many years.

Luo Feng's Fire Hammer Squad also attended the memorial service.

Whether they are powerful warriors or academicians, they have all made significant contributions to the country and the people. The entire Fire Hammer Squad is full of loyal and righteous people, so it is perfectly normal for them to come and pay their respects in the face of the death of such figures.

Most of the people who gathered here came with the same idea as them, without any consideration for profit; they just felt it was time to come, so they came.

Because there were too many people, the funeral home was unable to accommodate them all at the same time, and everyone had to queue to enter.

Tens of thousands of people lined up in the square, and although no one was maintaining order, everyone acted in a self-disciplined manner.

Of course, this also includes consciously letting the big shots go first.

One intelligent fighter jet after another landed, delivering one important figure after another to the gates of the Hall of Heroes.

Those academicians, generals, and war gods who are rarely seen by ordinary people in their entire lives entered the mourning hall today with solemn expressions. In front of Gao Jiyuan's huge black and white portrait, they offered white flowers and bowed deeply.

Every face was etched with heaviness and sorrow.

Of those who genuinely mourned Gao Jiyuan's passing, and of those who were merely going through the motions out of respect for Academician Liu, who presided over the memorial service for Yu Qiaoqiao, "Liu Ting" did not want to speculate.

She believes that the vast majority of people present came from the bottom of their hearts to bid farewell to this scientist who dedicated his life to humanity.

After all, these high-ranking officials all know that she is a War God-level mentalist, and not many people would be confident in trying to do something with ulterior motives in front of her.

If you're coming here hoping to build a relationship with her, you're just dreaming. She'll see right through you and write it down.

The memorial service officially began at 7:00 a.m.

"Liu Ting" stood at the front of the mourning hall, dressed in a black suit skirt, with the white flower on her chest particularly eye-catching.

Her face was expressionless, as calm as a deep pool.

But beneath that calm lay thoughts known only to herself.

"Thank you all for coming to see my teacher off on his final journey."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried through the loudspeaker throughout the entire mourning hall and reached the ears of everyone waiting in the square.

"Academician Gao Jiyuan dedicated decades to human scientific research. His passing is a loss to Hanxia and to all of humanity."

"But we cannot stop because of his departure."

"The development of the country, the well-being of the people, and the survival of mankind rest on the shoulders of Academician Gao Jiyuan, and also on the shoulders of all of us."

"I hope we can all uphold our beliefs, do our jobs well, work together, make progress together, support all of humanity, and move towards a more distant future."

"Only in this way can we live up to Academician Gao's sacrifice, the people's expectations, and the country's trust."

Thank you everyone.

She said a few words briefly, then stepped aside, leaving the time for those who came to pay their respects.

Luo Feng was queuing in the square when he heard the voices around him. They seemed somewhat familiar, but he didn't think much of it and just assumed it was a coincidence.

The mournful music lingered, and white flowers swayed in the breeze.

One mourner after another approached the portrait, bowed deeply three times, and offered white flowers.

Two powerful figures, Yao Weiwu and Deng Qiaosong, who are both councilors, also took time out of their busy schedules to attend the memorial service.

As two of only four planetary-level personnel in the country, they have an endless stream of tasks, and have been even busier lately.

After paying their respects to Gao Jiyuan, the two leaders offered some words of comfort and encouragement to "Liu Ting" and Yu Qiaoqiao, and then left again in less than half an hour.

Even so, the appearance of the two powerful councilors added even more solemnity to this already high-profile memorial service.

The memorial service continued into the afternoon, with large numbers of people still queuing to enter.

Only then did Luo Feng's Fire Hammer squad finally move to the front of the line.

Luo Feng, dressed in a formal black suit, stood among his five teammates with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

He came to pay his respects with his team today.

He was actually quite familiar with the name of Academician Gao Jiyuan. During this period, major news media outlets were reporting extensively on Academician Gao's deeds and the investigation results of the accident.

Although he was just a newcomer to the martial arts world, he understood how precious scientists like senior academicians were to all of humanity, and how enormous their contributions to mankind were.

So when Captain Gao Feng said he was coming to the memorial service today, he didn't hesitate and came right away.

He just didn't expect that this queue would last for most of the day, almost washing away his heavy mood.

Fortunately, it was finally their turn.

Gao Feng walked at the front of the group, his expression solemn.

Upon entering the mourning hall, the atmosphere became even more solemn and somber.

The air was filled with the scent of white chrysanthemums and pine trees, and the wreaths on both sides were layered upon layer, almost covering the entire wall of the mourning hall.

In the very center, Academician Gao Jiyuan's portrait hangs quietly. The old man in the photo has gray hair, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and has a thin face, etched with the marks of time.

Looking at the portrait, Luo Feng felt a strange sense of emotion.

Academician Gao died at the test site of the electromagnetic railgun, leaving no body behind, not even a single fragment.

When the explosion occurred, he ousted everyone from the lab and stayed inside alone.

This choice to sacrifice one's life to protect one's subordinates and national property filled Luo Feng, a martial artist who was willing to shed blood for his country, with a deep sense of respect.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that doing scientific research and fighting monsters are equally dangerous; if something happens, you're basically left with nothing but bones.

This reminded him of Liu Ting. He wondered how her research at Jiangnan University was going and whether she would attend the memorial service.

I heard that Academician Gao is from Jiangnan University. Liu Ting should be coming too, right? Is there any chance I'll run into her?

If I encounter her, what should I say to her?

Lost in thought, he followed the team members forward. There weren't many people left before it was their turn to present flowers and bow.

Just then, his gaze swept across one side of the mourning hall.

The next moment, he froze completely.
