312: Attend a banquet

There's no great need to buy so many houses in a small county town.

Although Guo Hao is rich.

But a place like a small county town...

Actually, living in this kind of old residential area is more comfortable; buying a villa or buying a new commercial residential area, at most, just increases the living space.

The supporting facilities are slightly newer.

Other than that, it can't compare to this kind of old residential area at all; there's no sense of community, everyone is a stranger.

For Guo's Father and Guo's mother, the best place to live is naturally in this kind of residential area.

So Guo Hao didn't think about buying a new house for Guo's Father and Guo's mother; there was absolutely no need.

"Buying a house??? Why didn't you tell me and your Mom about buying a house?!"

When Guo's Father heard Guo Hao's words, he was momentarily stunned.

He looked at Guo Hao in confusion.

"Wasn't I originally planning to give you a surprise? It's in Beijing. Whenever you come to Beijing, you can live directly in the villa; the place is huge!"

Guo Hao said with a smile towards Guo's Father and Guo's mother.

"Alright then!"

Guo's Father nodded, not dwelling on this matter.

"Then forget about buying a house. For redecorating the current house, we need to take a look. Anyway, regarding the renovation blueprints, you can choose them yourselves when the time comes."

"Okay!"

Guo Hao nodded.

He chatted with his parents for a while longer about some matters regarding the engagement ceremony.

After they finished chatting.

Guo's Father and Guo's mother went to sleep.

Guo Hao sat in his room and opened his computer.

He continued to browse literature.

For Guo Hao, there was no such thing as a so-called holiday, nor any rest time. Every minute and every second was actually very important to him; he was always learning.

There was nothing he could do; there was simply too much for him to learn.

And his time was very precious.

He kept browsing papers until twelve o'clock at night.

On the dot, Guo Hao turned off the lights, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

The next morning, at five-thirty, Guo Hao woke up on time.

He read for a while before leaving the room to eat breakfast.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Guo Hao received a call from Director Wang.

"Professor Guo, please don't forget about the dinner tonight!"

"I remember, I remember!"

"Then I'll be waiting for you!"

After exchanging a couple of pleasantries, Director Wang hung up the phone.

Guo Hao continued to browse papers.

Currently, he was mainly browsing papers in the field of Biology, especially papers concerning evolution.

Also heredity and variation.

Human research on genes has actually become relatively in-depth, although there are still too many unsolved mysteries about the human body itself, at least they have barely grasped gene editing technology.

Of course, it is still a relatively rudimentary technology.

But at least they have started to understand genes in depth.

Guo Hao compared some genetic information he learned from the mice, as well as the genetic changes that occurred in himself which he analyzed, with some existing human genetic data.

He found that current human research on genes is still in the shallow water.

They are still too unfamiliar with the deep waters of human genes.

At least what lay before Guo Hao was a vast, dark deep water area, with no papers or viewpoints whatsoever that could answer Guo Hao's questions.

Even on the preprint platform arxiv, Guo Hao had not seen any particularly in-depth ideas.

There was no alternative; he could only research it himself.

Without references, he had to rely entirely on his own slow exploration.

Guo Hao sat in his room researching until lunch time.

Just after finishing lunch, as Guo Hao was about to return to his room to continue researching the problem.

Wang Xi called.

"Hao Ge! Didn't you say you'd play games with me? Come on! This afternoon is such a great time! I'm downstairs at your place!"

"Alright then!"

Guo Hao was slightly helpless.

However, he had indeed said such a thing, and he was really grateful to Wang Xi for helping take care of Grandpa and Grandma.

After all, judging from the conversation between Wang Xi, Grandpa Shen, and Grandma Shen.

These two elderly people almost regarded him as their own grandson.

One can imagine how much effort Wang Xi put into taking care of the two elderly people.

Not bad, this young man.

Guo Hao walked downstairs.

Xu Yuan was waiting downstairs.

"Where are you going?"

Xu Yuan quickly asked Guo Hao.

"No need for the car."

Guo Hao said with a smile towards Xu Yuan.

"I'm going to the internet cafe with this kid for a while. It's fine, you just stay here!"

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Xu Yuan nodded.

"Okay, Professor Guo."

Xu Yuan slowly calmed down.

After Guo Hao left, Xu Yuan glanced over.

Guo Hao came over to Wang Xi's side.

"You guy, what else is in your head besides going online all day?"

Guo Hao said exasperatedly towards Wang Xi.

"Hehe, and girls! Let's go! Let's go online! Today, we brothers, let's just pull an all-nighter! You said you'd carry me to a higher rank! We have to reach Diamond today!"

"Wait."

Hearing Wang Xi's words, Guo Hao quickly stopped his fanciful thinking.

"I have an important dinner party tonight."

"How important can it be? With your status, just decline it!"

Wang Xi said carelessly.

"It's an invitation from Director Wang!"

Guo Hao looked at Wang Xi beside him, annoyed.

"Ah? That is indeed quite important..."

Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, saying somewhat awkwardly.

"Then let's just play for the afternoon!"

"Okay!"

Guo Hao nodded.

The two of them went to an internet cafe near the residential area that they frequented.

For the entire afternoon.

Guo Hao carried Wang Xi and ranked up like crazy.

With his current thinking and reaction speed, plus his body's inherent strength, playing a game like League of Legends was incredibly easy. He directly carried this guy Wang Xi.

From eternal Gold player straight to Platinum II!

"Hao Ge is awesome! Hao Ge is awesome!"

When they came out of the internet cafe, Wang Xi started to flatter Guo Hao wildly. His eyes were full of excitement as he looked at Guo Hao beside him.

"With Hao Ge's skill level, you could probably even play professionally! Seriously! You can dominate the opponents in any position! Awesome!"

"Stop flattering me! Alright, I'm leaving!"

Guo Hao said exasperatedly towards Wang Xi.

"Alright."

Wang Xi said excitedly towards Guo Hao.

He had never had so much fun playing League; this was the feeling of being carried by a big shot! It felt so good!

Coming down from the internet cafe building, Guo Hao directly got into the Hongqi car.

This attracted many surprised looks from people nearby.

They hadn't expected that someone who rode in this kind of car would actually come to an internet cafe?

This sense of contrast was truly...

"Let's go!"

Guo Hao said towards Xu Yuan.

"Okay."

Xu Yuan, of course, knew where Guo Hao was going.

He drove the car and quickly arrived at Binjiang Banquet.

When they got out of the car, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking refined and courteous, and wearing a business jacket, was standing at the entrance of Binjiang Banquet.

"Professor Guo!"

The middle-aged man smiled and walked towards Guo Hao to greet him.

"You are?"

Guo Hao's hand clasped the middle-aged man's, and with a look of confusion in his eyes, he asked the man.

"My name is Li Yanbin, Director Wang's administrative secretary, you"
