I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 596 - 584: Virus_3

So, this possibility may not be out of the question.

"I’ll remind big brother to be careful, but why is Liu Ying doing this?"

"I think the biggest possibility is revenge," Qiao Qingyu said as she cleared the dishes and tableware, "Leave this matter to me. I’ll handle it."

Hearing Qiao Qingyu say this, He Xiuyu actually nodded, believing in his wife’s capabilities.

So, he took over the dishes and tableware voluntarily, "You rest, I’ll do it."

Nowadays, they say men and women are equal, but in reality, they are not.

For instance, in double-income households where both husband and wife work, it is mostly the wife who cooks after work.

So, tell me, has the status of women risen or declined? It’s truly a case where both sides have their own valid points.

Anyway, in a household, it is usually the women who do most of the housework, and this holds true even at Tenghai Research Base.

Luckily, He Xiuyu was especially considerate in this aspect.

As long as he was home, as long as he was capable, he would not let Qiao Qingyu do the work.

Qiao Qingyu tied an apron around him, making a butterfly knot at the back and affectionately nuzzled his back a few times.

He Xiuyu turned his head and looked down at his petite wife.

"What are you doing?"

"Just feeling that you are really wonderful."

He Xiuyu’s lips curved up in a smile, his whole demeanor radiating joy.

"I think you’re wonderful too, wonderful in every way."

Qiao Qingyu just chuckled, her eyes brimming with warmth.

After they were done, the two settled on the couch to watch television.

That’s when He Xiuyu spoke to Qiao Qingyu about Chen Tianliang’s situation, including the visions of the future he could foresee.

Discussing such a topic might seem incredible to others, but it was quite normal with Qiao Qingyu.

"I was in Xiaxi Town not long ago, and someone told me that Chen Tianliang is treating Mr. Qian really well now, almost as if he is atoning for something. Indeed, Chen Tianliang is living quite miserably," Qiao Qingyu remarked thoughtfully.

"Chen Tianliang said he would like to volunteer, and at that moment, I was somewhat tempted, but I couldn’t accept it."

Moved by the thought, Qiao Qingyu ask He Xiuyu, "If, and I mean if, this machine is really developed, would you want to go back to the past?"

He Xiuyu didn’t even think before shaking his head, "No."

He reached out and pinched Qiao Qingyu’s nose, "Everything I want is right here and now, why would I go back?"

"So, you’re not that interested in this project anymore."

"It’s not that I’m uninterested. If time allows, I still want to study it. Actually, Chen Tianliang’s foresight might not be mere fantasy. After all, we do have a Space Device, and with it as our foundation, it is not impossible to succeed in our research."

Qiao Qingyu was not shocked, but still quite surprised, "You really think so?"

"I have this idea, but not this kind of machine that could send people back to the past, but it could still be utilized in other ways."

Qiao Qingyu felt that, in reality, He Xiuyu’s thoughts were practical.

...

He Xiuyu also had Old Wei keep an eye on Zhao Guoqiang, the little car team leader, and then received a call from the hospital stating Zhao Guoqiang had suddenly developed a high fever, was somewhat delirious, and was currently being rescued.

It was evening, right after work hours, and Zhao Guoqiang had taken a few days off and was on vacation. He was eating in the canteen and felt extremely unwell, prompting others to send him to the hospital, where he then developed a high fever.

Suddenly, He Xiuyu remembered the dream Zhao Yuan’s mother had.

An hour later, two more patients with sudden high fevers were admitted to the hospital.

He called the hospital’s director, instructing him to immediately set up an isolation ward, place Zhao Guoqiang in it for observation, and initiate level-one defense measures.

Those two patients also required special attention.

Then, he called four researchers from the Biotechnology Laboratory to come to the hospital immediately.

This action was prompt, as Tenghai Research Base indeed had strong research capabilities, and they had talents in all aspects, allowing them to quickly confirm that Zhao Guoqiang was infected with a new, extremely contagious, and deadly virus.

Thus, in the hot summer, the entire Tenghai Research Base had no choice but to go into immediate lockdown.
