"Is that so coincidental!"

Fang Sheng exclaimed, his scalp tingled. He knew that such coincidences were often not a good thing. Director Zhang’s problem was solved, and Deputy Secretary Cai had not yet offered a offer.

Sure enough, Dr. Niu said: "Dr. Cai appreciates Minister Fang and the Julong Foundation's support for basic science. 30 million in ten years is indeed a big deal. Few sponsors or companies are willing to make such long-term investments..."

Hearing this, Yan Shen's face darkened, and he stood up and said he wanted to go to the bathroom. He had guessed what Dr. Niu was going to say next and left in advance to avoid embarrassment.

Dr. Niu continued: "It happened that two years ago, Secretary Cai and I also built a research team. The direction was to study the impact of the construction of safe housing in the Zhengfu on the real estate market. To be honest, this project is a bit contrary to the mainstream idea. I applied for many times without financial appropriations, so real estate developers and local officials were not interested. Without financial support, the research team was always idle, but I always felt that safe housing construction was to leverage real estate developers to monopolize housing prices and break the fulcrum of local officials' artificial market manipulation, so..."

Speaking of this, it would be impossible not to respond. Fang Sheng asked obediently: "How many years will this issue take? How big is the funding gap?"

"The five-year data collection period is at least. We can trace back three years and then track the trend of two years. In terms of funding, there will be some support within Kyoto University, but the research sample involves fifty cities and two hundred housing construction projects. The workload is huge, and the expected gap is about three million..."

Not very appetite.

Fang Sheng thought intimately that the so-called Xiaonan Julong Scientific Research and Development Foundation was set up purely to support Professor Yin's genetic breeding project, and the president at that time was Rui Yun. Later, Zhou Xiaorong and Rui Yun's project in Wuxiang were investigated so much. In order to avoid involvement, the foundation made complex changes and operations. Now it is forgot who is responsible for the institution that is affiliated to.

This money must be given. This mountain is where I opened this tree and planted it. It is reasonable to leave money to buy the road.

Research on liberal arts projects is different from science and engineering. Once the genetic breeding project has made research breakthroughs, the business operation prospects will be bright and the returns will be unlimited; while research on housing construction will at most provide strong support for the decision-making of the official home, and that's all, there will be no return in business.

"Well, I am quite familiar with the Foundation's executive director. The purpose of the Foundation is to support and develop my country's basic scientific research. The main directions include two major topics: agriculture and environmental protection. It may be... This may not matter. When I go back, I will try to convince them and guarantee a satisfactory reply to Dr. Niu and Secretary Cai!"

Dr. Niu immediately smiled: "Minister Fang is troubled! Working on topics, especially liberal arts topics, is like begging for alms. It is too difficult to get support from the competent authorities and society. Speaking in front of Minister Fang, it is time again, and I really feel sorry for it."

"No! I don't have the chance to meet a senior intellectual like Dr. Niu." Fang Sheng said with a smile.

As if to make up for the apology, Yan Shen left the teahouse and insisted on driving Fang Sheng to the hotel in person. On the way, he said ashamed that he really didn't expect Dr. Niu to play this trick in the end. He had never seen Dr. Niu like this before.

Fang Sheng laughed and said that it was a transaction, and all participants gained something, so that it would be fair. Otherwise, if you owe Dr. Niu, you will have to try to make up for it in the future.

I always felt that what I didn't need was still too childish. Yan Shen sighed.

Fang Sheng wanted to say that you are the son of the Standing Committee member, who dares to bargain with you? It would be different if you change to others. Think about it, Yan Shen should also realize this and swallow it back to his stomach.

When the car was about to arrive at the hotel, Dr. Niu called again and said that Deputy Secretary Cai was very excited to hear that Fang Sheng was willing to help and must ask him to have a drink. Fang Sheng refused to say that he had booked a plane ticket tomorrow morning and would be reunited in the future. Dr. Niu said that Deputy Secretary Cai was honest and would not let him down, why not have a late-night snack tonight?

Fang Sheng had no choice but to agree.

The car passed by the hotel and continued on. After driving for a while, Yan Shen said, "It's no wonder that Deputy Secretary Cai was so excited that he pulled you to drink. Now that the economy is in the forefront, everything is about efficiency. Liberal arts projects are not popular in any higher education institutions due to their own disadvantages. However, when doing research, you must speak with papers. No matter how good the teaching quality is, it is useless - I am not speaking for them, it is the fact.

Fang Sheng nodded and said that I understand your difficulties, it is not easy to do any job.

Deputy Secretary Cai chose a bar in Houhai. It is located in a remote location and the display is in a retro style. The resident singer mainly sings campus folk songs in a fresh style. The bar is filled with elegance and literary flavor.

Because it was not a weekend, there were not many guests in the bar. Deputy Secretary Cai, Dr. Niu, Yan Shen and Fang Sheng sat down on the corner circular sofa, with a glass of brandy each.

Deputy Secretary Cai is a typical northern man with a generous personality. He took a glass of wine and drank it all to express his gratitude without saying a few words.

Fang Sheng was very troubled when he saw him drinking brandy as beer, but he was here to ask others for business. The so-called sponsorship was just a reward, so how could he have the nerve to grasp his identity? He also raised his head and killed it.

Who knew that Deputy Secretary Cai said that the habit of northerners is to have three cups of drinks in a row, gurgling, slitting his lips with his hands and staring at Fang Sheng with bright eyes.

If he had known in advance that Deputy Secretary Cai had the habit of drinking, Fang Sheng would not have agreed to eat this so-called late-night snack no matter what.

Kyoto University is the highest institution in China with a high administrative level. The president and party secretary are both at the deputy ministerial level, while Deputy Secretary Cai is treated as a main hall. Those with high levels at the table have the right to speak, while others can only obey.

Fang Sheng bowed repeatedly and said, "I am slow to drink, so I have to give you a few more sips. Secretary Cai is proud of his actions."

Yan Shen also said: "Minister Fang is light in alcohol and is based on the principle of not getting drunk."

Having said that, Fang Sheng still carried three cups of brandy with peanuts and dried fruits. Not long after, Dr. Niu wanted to toast to him again, and after Yan Shen persuaded him to drink it in two sips.

Next, Deputy Secretary Cai toasted with Yan Shen, and Fang Sheng returned to Cai Niu and the other two. The more you drink, the more the atmosphere became warmer, and his voice became louder.

"Bang!"

A young man sitting next to him knocked the wine bottle heavily on the table and cursed: "I will die if I say a little less. This is a public place! I want to go home and howl!"

Yan Shen realized the fault and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, OK..."

Deputy Secretary Cai has a northerner temper, and he is soft but not hard. He glared at the eyes: "Young people speak more casually. It is not too much for us to count your elders by age."

"Wow, I'm still trying to be old!" The young man stood up and shook his shirt off, revealing his strong muscles and tattoos. He walked to their table in a big way and said arrogantly, "I want to ask, who is making noise in public places? Do you want to be my uncle if you don't admit your mistake?"

Before he finished speaking, several young men at the same table stood up, holding cigarettes, rolling up their sleeves, and surrounded them with fierce light on their faces.

Intellectuals are weak, Yan Shen quickly smoothed out: "This person is a little drunk, I'm sorry, everyone, I'm sorry..."

Dr. Niu also said: "Brothers, come back to your seat, I will settle the account."

Fang Sheng saw that these people were actually drunk too much. Judging from the situation, they were just looking for trouble, so they quickly took out their phones and dialed a number.

The young man in the leader refused to give in and pointed at Deputy Secretary Cai and said, "You said it's useless. This old man, apologize to us!"

"I'm just sorry!" Deputy Secretary Cai was held down by Yan Shen and didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but jump up again, "Which unit is from you? Are you a student? Just talk to elders in this way?"

The young man suddenly punched Deputy Secretary Cai in the heart, and Fang Sheng quickly stood up to protect him; the young man rushed forward and hit him again, but Dr. Niu grabbed his arm.

"Oh, let's fight in a group!"

Several other young people rushed up and punched and kicked. The main target was Deputy Secretary Cai, and Fang Sheng was also hit by a lot of troubles.

From the conflict between the two dialects, the bar owner knew that the situation would not be good, because he knew the identities and tempers of several young people, so he called the police quietly.

The police were dispatched in Houhai. Just as Deputy Secretary Cai and others were pressed to the ground and howled, the police rushed into the bar. The boss breathed a sigh of relief and went forward and shouted:

"Director Zhao..."

Director Zhao shouted, "Stop! Oh, isn't this Yuhan? Xiaosong is here too, is this...what is this?"

The young man in the lead, Xiaosong, raised his body and clapped his hands and said, "These old guys made loud noises, warned him that he pretended to be my uncle. Director Zhao said should he beat him?"

Deputy Secretary Cai was beaten to the point of blood, and stood up tremblingly and said, "Comrade Police, they... They made unreasonable troubles and beat us..."

Dr. Niu and Yan Shen were trampled under their feet, and the other was pressed on the sofa and could not move. Although Fang Sheng was beaten to the point of clearance of his nose and face, he was still free to move. He shouted: "There is a surveillance monitor in the bar. You must ask the police to review the surveillance monitor."

Director Zhao asked in a long tone: "Boss, where is the surveillance?"

The boss understood and smiled apologized: "Sorry, Director Zhao, it rained a few days ago, the house leaked, and the short-term power line burned out the surveillance. Someone will repair it tomorrow."

"There is no surveillance," Director Zhao pointed at Deputy Secretary Cai and others and said, "You guys come to the police station to ask questions!"

Fang Sheng knew that once he left the scene, he couldn't explain it clearly, but the rescuers had not arrived yet and could only delay the time. So he asked, "Why don't they go together?"

"They?" Director Zhao seemed to hear a strange question and glanced at the boss with a slanted eyes.

The boss knew it again and deliberately whispered: "Do you know who they are?"

Yuhan, Xiaosong and others clearly heard it, but proudly left Yan Shen and Dr. Niu, and sat straight to the sofa at the door to continue drinking.

Fang Sheng deliberately delayed and pretended to check whether Yan Shen and Dr. Niu were injured. After a while, he asked: "I don't know, they are..."

The boss's voice was even lower. This time, he sincerely reminded: "The first to hit someone, Komatsu's father is the executive deputy mayor of Kyoto, Yuhan's father is the commander of the Kyoto Security Command, and the other people are also quite famous... hurry up and say a few soft words and deal with the scene. Otherwise, if you enter the bureau, you have to keep a record of the case and don't know when it will be released. It's very troublesome."
