The messages they sent were very concise, without a bunch of senseless flattery, but rather proper introductions, simply stating their identity and profession.
This was because they couldn't figure out the temperament of the 'Extraordinary Pioneer', so they dared not say too much.
Besides, they only dared to send messages, not daring to presumptuously make a call.
But interestingly, a small portion of them, since they all ran martial arts schools and knew each other, formed a group chat.
The most frequent conversation in the group was, 'Did President Zhang reply to your message?'
But today.
A few people in the small group, having nothing better to do, as usual, were asking about 'messages' in the chat group.
As Zhang Feng finished reading hundreds of messages, he clicked to send a group reply, 'Noted.'
Their small group chat exploded.
(Master of the 15th official martial arts school in Mountain Province: Hey guys, President Zhang replied to my message! How about you?)
(Representative of Sun Group's martial arts school: I received it too)
(Master of the 2nd official martial arts school in Lin City: I saw it too)
(Southwest Province Agent: Is President Zhang out of seclusion?)
(Master of the 3rd official martial arts school in Ling City: Brothers, do you think I can send an extra blessing to President Zhang?)
(Master of the 2nd official martial arts school in Lin City: Old Zheng, don't cause trouble where there is none)
'Notice: Southwest Province Agent has left the chat'
...
After sending the message, Zhang Feng closed the messaging interface and called Dr. Wu.
The call connected in about half a minute.
"Hello? Teacher Zhang?" Dr. Wu's side was very noisy, accompanied by some 'beep beep' sound from devices, "What's up?"
"I have to go out of town in a few days." Zhang Feng lay on the grass, "The exact time is ten in the morning, three days from now. You can go directly to the train station, someone will meet you there and give you the tickets."
With some proper adjustments to the train routes, an olive-green train would arrive in the city in three days.
"Where is this to?" Dr. Wu dared to ask, "I am currently helping you test human body functions, and the number of people coming to the hospital for tests is increasing.
Every day is hectic.
If you let me take a vacation, I really can't."
"It's not a vacation, but it's kind of like a vacation." Zhang Feng looked up at the blue sky, "Mainly it's for you to learn some knowledge about medicinal materials, and there will be many big names in the pharmaceutical field there, as well as some top researchers.
Consider it a small study meeting."
"Many old professors?" Dr. Wu's tone immediately changed upon hearing there was knowledge to be learned, he quickly said, "I'll go! I'll go! I'll go to the duty area now to adjust shifts and make time."
Speaking up to this point, Dr. Wu laughed and said, "I want to learn, but I also must not let myself affect the big data testing, which is the foundation, and the thing you and I both aspire to."
"Alright." Zhang Feng also laughed and said, "Then remember the time, three days later, ten in the morning, arrive half an hour early."
"I'm writing it down." Dr. Wu was truly afraid he'd get too busy in the coming days and forget, so he asked a doctor beside him to write it down with a pen.
"Okay, we'll leave it at that for now. You go ahead and keep busy, I'll hang up now."
He hung up the phone.
Zhang Feng opened the chat software again and saw messages left by the masters.
Ninety days ago, at 8 PM (Xiaoli: Brother Zhang, are we running tonight?)
Seventy-six days ago, at 3 AM (Master: I've drunk myself to death)
Twelve days ago, 11 AM (Master Wang: Master Zhang, the martial arts school is basically back to normal, I'm just strolling around every day now. Let me know in advance when you're back, I'll buy some groceries, call them over for a couple of drinks in the evening, I'm quite free now)
Ten days ago, 4 AM (Master Wang: Not free anymore, the government saw I had too much free time and gave me some tasks, made me the chief coach for the province's Martial Arts Department part-time)
Finished reading all the messages.
Zhang Feng first replied to Xiaoli (Zhang Youfa: Been a bit busy recently, signal was blocked, just saw this, will contact you later)
Then to the Master (Remember to take your medicine, don't drink if you can help it, we don't need alliances now, health comes first)
Finally to Master Wang (Can't you pretend to be busy?)
After sending.
In less than two minutes, Master Wang called.
The call connected.
"Hello." There were sounds of martial arts practice on Master Wang's side, "Are you out? How's about meeting up tonight?"
"Maybe later." Zhang Feng replied, "This period of isolation, I've realized some new things, after unwinding today, I'll need to start practicing again tonight."
"You have to take care of your health." Master Wang spoke frankly, "You're the backbone for us, you can't afford to overwork."
"I'm aware and am balancing work with rest." Zhang Feng got up from the grass, "Like last night till today, I gave myself a whole day off."
"Your balance of work and rest is quite tough." Master Wang exclaimed, "Almost a hundred days of isolation, and only relaxing for such a short time? Isn't that no different from not relaxing at all?"
'To be precise, it's thirty years plus a hundred days, and then just one day.' Zhang Feng shook his head inwardly, but responded lightly, "It's probably become a habit?
Honestly, not working or studying today made me feel like I was doing something wrong.
Alright, that's it for now, let's chat again when we meet later."
Hung up the phone.
Zhang Feng let out a long breath, as his internal organs resonated and inner strength gradually formed.
The relaxation today was effective.
At least many small chores were cleared up, leaving fewer trivial worries in his mind.
'Relaxation is a practice on the journey of life.'
Zhang Feng practiced while returning to the base,
'But making oneself too busy to relax is another type of life experience.
This way, one can appreciate the difficulty of relaxation.'
