Chapter 551: Are you fighting against studying?
Gao Zhendong got off the car at the doorstep and walked home leisurely. Lou Xiaoe hadn't come back from class yet, so he didn't need to rush.

At the front yard gate, I met Yan Jiecheng, who also seemed to have just returned.

Yan Jiecheng saw him and greeted him, "Chief Engineer Gao, you are so busy. Why did you just come back?"

Yan Jiecheng used to call Gao Zhendong "Brother Zhendong", but now Gao Zhendong is quite happy about it, but he himself doesn't dare to call him that anymore. In this respect, he is not as pure as Sha Zhu.

Seeing his coquettish look, Gao Zhendong made fun of him.

"Hey, Jie Cheng, you look so happy, is there something good going on?"

Yan Jiecheng looked embarrassed and rubbed the back of his head: "Hey, my relative introduced me to a girl and we're dating now."

In his heart, he actually felt like reporting his thoughts and life to his leader.

"Haha, good news, good news, keep working hard." To be able to come back so late, it must be that they are attracted to each other, otherwise they would not have eaten dinner together. As for whether it was the Yu Li he saw in the TV series, Gao Zhendong was not sure. After he came here, many things have changed.

Seeing Gao Zhendong was about to go home, Yan Jiecheng made up his mind and stopped him.

"Chief Engineer Gao, I have something I want to ask you. I want you to give me some advice."

The reason why he made up his mind was not because Gao Zhendong was a difficult person and he needed to muster up the courage to communicate with him. It was because he knew that his father was always calculating and he missed many opportunities with Gao Zhendong, and he felt embarrassed.

Gao Zhendong stopped and wanted to listen to what he said. This guy in the TV series was much more honest than those in the Liu family.

"Well, tell me, is there anything that needs to be resolved by the organization or something I can help with?"

Seeing that Gao Zhendong was still the same as usual, with a kind face and no sign of unhappiness, Yan Jiecheng calmed down and became bolder.

"Chief Engineer Gao, do you think I can study at this open university?" It turned out that he was still thinking about this matter.

It’s not that Yan Jiecheng has to fight over this matter, but compared with later generations, there are not many ways to change one’s own track in this era. For the Yan family, there are even fewer ways that are truly meaningful in practice.

It is true that other methods are not achievable, and studying at an open university is more cost-effective.

Hearing his question, Gao Zhendong nodded and encouraged him: "Of course you can study. It's a good thing that you have this idea. It just so happens that the enrollment time for new students in TVU this year should be basically the same as that of ordinary universities. You can prepare now."

"Prepare? Chief Engineer Gao, what do I need to prepare?" Yan Jiecheng was confused. What else do I need to prepare? Could it be...

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Prepare for the exam. The TV University will also have an exam this year. Last year's enrollment was very good, and the teaching effect and help to the students' improvement were also very obvious. Therefore, the unit recommendation method last year is not appropriate and unfair. There will be an exam this year. If you have any ideas, prepare in advance."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he realized that Chief Engineer Gao was not that kind of person at all and he never kept his eyes on other people's pockets.

But at this time, Yan Jiecheng still hoped that Gao Zhendong was that kind of person.

When the word "exam" came out, he felt discouraged. He asked himself honestly that he would not be able to perform better than thousands of his peers in the exam.

He also knew that Gao Zhendong was not unwilling to help, but was just making excuses to evade him. Entrance examinations are public matters, and if Gao Zhendong wanted to make up an excuse to shirk responsibility, he would not make one that was so easy to distinguish between true and false.

"Oh, so that's the case. Okay, okay. I'll think of a way to prepare when I get back." Yan Jiecheng's mood visibly dropped.

When Gao Zhendong saw him like this, he felt a little emotional. It was true that one could not write two "Yan" characters with one stroke. This kid was similar to his father in nature. He had a strong fear, which could easily affect his thoughts and actions.

His father is "afraid of giving", while he is "afraid of difficulties". The manifestations are different, but the root is the same.

I sighed in my heart. It seems that even if I give you the chance, you are still useless.

However, Gao Zhendong added: "Well, if you have any ideas, Ding Yongnian from the back yard and Qin Huairu from the middle yard both reviewed in advance before going to school last year. They should have a lot of textbooks and materials. You can ask them for help. Their textbooks are more suitable for you."

Yan Jiecheng responded a little listlessly, still blaming his father for missing the opportunity last year.

Gao Zhendong shook his head in his heart, turned and went into his room. It depends on your luck, young man.

Not long after entering the house, someone knocked on the door again. Gao Zhendong opened the door and saw that it was Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was holding a wine bottle in one hand and a plate of snacks in the other. The big plate was divided into several piles, each pile contained different food, but one or two items looked a bit strange. Normally, they would not be used as snacks.

Who has ever seen noodles as a side dish for drinking?
"Hey, what are you doing? You're just coming to the door, why are you bringing anything with you? Haha." Gao Zhendong started with a classic joke.

"I've been staring at the light in your house for a long time. Today I want to have a drink with you and ask you to support my work." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Oh, so formal? Okay, tell me what kind of work you support."

Sha Zhu pointed at the plate of snacks and said, "Eat, eat! If you eat this, you are supporting my work."

This was said without any reason or logic, but Gao Zhendong understood after taking a closer look at the plate: "Is this the self-heating food you made?" Sha Zhu smiled: "Oh, right. I knew you could react. This is the first time I made it. It was sealed in a tin can for a month. In the meantime, the chefs tried to bake it at low heat and freeze it outside. It took a month. We tried it and it was not bad. In addition, those comrades who took the initiative to try it thought it tasted okay and no one got sick. But don't worry about this one, it's not that kind. It's freshly made so that you can taste it, haha."

Gao Zhendong was shocked. Brother, you should at least do a bacterial test before eating it.

"Well, just eat it directly. Do you have any objection to the Third Branch Factory cooperating with your comrades?"

"Yes, they said to do a test first. We thought why bother. As several chefs, we know whether it is edible or not." Sha Zhu's answer made Gao Zhendong laugh and cry.

"Then at least... didn't you try feeding the dog first?"

"No, it would be a waste to feed it to the dog." Sha Zhu said carelessly.

Fuck, you’re lucky you didn’t die from it.

Gao Zhendong reached out and slapped Sha Zhu on the head: "Next time, listen to the comrades from the Technical Department of the Third Factory! Damn it, you have the final say when it comes to cooking, and he has the final say when it comes to experiments!"

We still have to follow the scientific experimental process. We can't joke about health. Isn't the purpose of approving funds to get things done as safely as possible?

Sha Zhu was stunned by Gao Zhendong, but he had an advantage: he was particularly willing to listen to advice in front of certain people.

"Okay, I get it."

Gao Zhendong then grabbed the chopsticks and poured the wine. Just as he was about to start eating, he turned his head again and asked, "Is this really freshly made?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he got anxious: "This is true, how can I lie to you? If you like it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, forget it!"

After saying this, he turned his head to the side like a little child, clasped his hands together, and was angry.

Gao Zhendong was happy: "Eat, eat quickly, come on, let's go first." I'm not afraid, I'm in good health, but if you really have a test sample that has been stored for a month and there is no scientific conclusion yet, I'm afraid that your small body can't withstand the care of certain units.

Sha Zhu was happy at this and picked up his wine glass: "One by one, one by one."

After three rounds of drinks, Sha Zhu seemed to remember something and asked Gao Zhendong hesitantly.

"Zhendong, do you think I should read some books too?"

Hmm? What did you do today? Are you all competing with your studies?
Gao Zhendong answered directly: "You don't have to. It's not that I look down on you, but it's a waste of your time. You should spend your time on more important things."

For Sha Zhu, delving into cooking and going deeper into this path is a better choice both professionally and privately.

Things like mathematics, physics and chemistry are of little significance to his path. When we cook, we pay attention to vague things like "right amount", "a little" and "heat". This is not unscientific, but the most scientific.

Due to differences in ingredients, environment, diners, kitchen utensils and other conditions, the upper limit of "3 grams of salt", "10 grams of sugar" and "50 grams of cooking oil" is destined to be not high. Of course, the lower limit is not low.

When it comes to cooking, Gao Zhendong still hopes it won’t be so industrialized.

Sha Zhu himself knew that his idea was unreliable, but he still did not completely give up the idea.

"You really don't need it?"

"Really? That's not right! Hey, that's not right. You're not the kind of person who can't figure this out. Why are you arguing with me today? Tell me, what are you thinking about?"

"Hey, well..." Sha Zhu's face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Today, Sister Qin received her single-subject completion certificate from TVU, and I saw that she looked very happy, so I was thinking, should I also get one?"

“Hahahaha…” So that’s what happened. Gao Zhendong laughed out loud: “Are you afraid that you are not worthy enough because you haven’t read enough books? Hehe.”

Sha Zhu nodded embarrassedly.

"I think you're thinking too much."

After saying that, Gao Zhendong picked up a piece of self-heating noodles with chopsticks and said, "Just this thing, doesn't it prove that you are good at it? It's enough to have a skill, and it's one of the best. As for whether you can succeed, I don't think it has much to do with this."

After saying that, Gao Zhendong happily put the noodles into his mouth. It turns out that the self-heating noodles with chili oil tasted really good.

Sha Zhu thought about it and nodded: "You make sense, I'd better cook."

He was just a little upset. With some guidance, he will be fine on his own.

After saying that, he also happily picked up a peanut and put it into his mouth: "Come on, let's have one!"
