The next day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Che followed his parents as usual to visit various familiar elders. At noon, they went to Aunt Huang's house and happened to meet her younger brother.

As Jiang Che expected, Aunt Huang's brother was at least thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. However, reaching a PhD at that age was quite impressive.

Jiang Che had aspirations in this direction. Breaking through technological barriers was something the entire nation would only achieve after more than a decade. Even if it might not yield any results, Jiang Che was willing to join the effort.

The conversation was lively. Aunt Huang's brother, Huang Jian, who graduated with a PhD from Europe, returned to the country with the same intentions. Meeting Jiang Che and hearing his words, he felt a sense of excitement at finding a kindred spirit. Jiang Che suggested he wait until after the Lantern Festival to leave, but Huang Jian couldn't wait and insisted on heading to the capital the next day. He mentioned that not many of his classmates who studied abroad were returning, only a few, but they all shared the same ambition. If Jiang Che was willing, they could all come together.
