Ren and Fang were not too surprised to hear the acceleration proposal from the professors – Ren's only concern was about Fang, because while Ren had been through medical school once already, this was child's play for him. For Fang, however, this was real education, and Ren didn't want to hurry him up unnecessarily. He was happy to wait for Fang however long he wanted.
Fang, on the other hand, wanted to finish medical school as soon as possible – part of it was because he wanted to stand by Ren's side as his equal and deserving partner, and partly because he was very worried that Ren might be actually getting bored in class because he already knew all these things – in fact, it was clear to everyone in class, be it the students or the teachers, that Ren knew more about medicines than a lot of experts they were being taught by, and these were some of the best internationally renowned experts!
So, Fang was actually much more enthusiastic about the acceleration proposal than Ren, and he agreed immediately and then made an adorably pleading face at Ren, copying Snow's cutest expression that was guaranteed to get Ren to do whatever Snow wanted him to do. And Fang shamelessly used the same trick on Ren that he had picked up from their kitten daughter!
Ren smiled helplessly and agreed – after all, how could he bear to say no to that face? Besides, Fang was brilliant, and it wasn't difficult for him to catch up to Ren's standards at all. The acceleration proposal would actually benefit both of them, and they would be able to finish medical school faster and get down to 'real work' much sooner. And Ren was really looking forward to working with his darling Fang. He just knew that they would be able to make waves in the medical community.
Seeing that both Ren and Fang had agreed to the acceleration proposal, the Director clapped his hands happily.
"Excellent," he boomed, beaming at the two young men. "I can hardly wait for the day the two of you get your practising license!"
"Yes, we will be looking forward to that, too!" several professors echoed unanimously.
"What other research ideas do you have?" one of the research obsessed an eccentric professors asked Ren eagerly. This one was from the genetics department – and that was one of the facilities Ren really wanted to develop.
"I do, actually," Ren said. "I am not very sure how feasible it is at the moment – I have only some basic ideas on the subject at the moment. But if we are successful, we should be able to create children for same gender couples like Fang and I, where the child would have both our DNA."
The professor's eyes widened in shock and he dropped the pen he was holding. Then he leaped forward and grabbed Ren's hand enthusiastically, trying to drag him out of the room – probably straight to the research laboratory!
"What are your basic ideas so far?" the professor demanded. "What strategy have you developed so far? How much research has gone into it so far?"
"I haven't done any research on it," Ren admitted truthfully, gently prying his arm away from the exuberant professor. "As I said, I only have a very basic idea. I can tell you about that."
And then he proceeded to tell that professor about the research that had been done in his original world and whatever he knew about it from reading the research papers and then actually participating in the process to create his own children. Too bad Ren never got to see his children before he ended up in this world – but Ren didn't really have any regrets. He got Fang and three adorable fur babies here, and Sylvia had somehow been able to follow him here, too. He couldn't really ask for much else. Yes, he would have liked his parents to have met Fang – he was sure they would adore Fang as much as Ren himself did – Fang was a natural charmer and people with parental instincts would definitely be won over by him.
The professor of genetics and other professors who merely listened in out of curiosity – grew more and more shocked as Ren explained the basic concepts and thoughts about the project. How was this a 'very basic idea'?! This was over half the work already done!
Immediately, three more professors wanted to work on this project with the genetics professor and Ren, and naturally, wherever Ren went, Fang would follow. And thus the team that would shock the entire world soon enough with their path breaking research was formed!
"Don't tell anyone on the outside about this project," the Director warned all of them. He turned to Ren. "Chairman Ren, I know you feel that this is a very basic idea, but as you may have already gauged from the reactions of my colleagues, we find this to be extremely workable. We should be able to have results by the end of this year – and we would want to keep this project a secret until it has at least reached the trial stage. It is too valuable and we don't want others to steal your research, Chairman Ren."
Ren felt a little guilty. It wasn't his research originally anyway. He had hardly done any work on it – and that, too, was only because his family had been trying to push him into a marriage by giving him the reason that he needed to have children.
Fang, who was well aware of this, patted Ren's arm in reassurance. "The Director is right," he said quietly. "It is valuable research, and we should keep it confidential until we achieve a few results – otherwise it would too disappointing for the public as well as us. Ren, if you and I were a normal same gender couple who heard that there is a research project like this today, won't we immediately be attracted towards it? And since we haven't even started working on this yet and we don't have any concrete results at all – wouldn't it be like giving false hope to the normal couples? And then, there will be plenty of unscrupulous people who would pick up the thread and make false promises – and there will be so much unpleasantness all around. Isn't it better that we keep our research project under wraps now, and as the Director rightly said, not discuss this with anyone on the outside until we have at least reached a trial stage."
Ren sighed and nodded, and all the professors in the room shot Fang an admiring look.
"Let's start right away," the professor of genetics said enthusiastically. "The sooner we start working, the sooner we will have results!"
"We can start tomorrow," the Director said. "I will make the arrangements as required."
"There is also the matter of going to the Dragon Nation and setting up a resort hotel there," Professor Klaus spoke up in a mild voice.
Ren and Fang brightened immediately, especially Fang, who really liked the Dragon Nation and the people there.
"When are we planning to start?" Professor Klaus asked.
"CEO Pax mentioned that the construction is almost over, and the facilities will be ready to use in a few months," Ren informed him. "We should be able to go then."
"Are you joining us, Professor Klaus?" Fang asked curiously.
Professor Klaus nodded. "I recently learnt about a rare plant which only grows in the Dragon Nation that may offer us a clue for the final cure medicine for Thalassemia," he murmured.
Ren recalled something that he had forgotten to mention in his notes – there was indeed a plant like this back in his original world. He immediately took out his pocket notebook and drew the flower on it.
"Is it this one?" Ren asked, handing the sketch to Professor Klaus. "The petals are a deep, royal blue, and the stamen should have a compound that may be useful for you."
Professor Klaus was stunned and his hands trembled in excitement as he looked at the drawing Ren had made in haste just now.
"Yes!" he cried. "This is exactly it! Do you know where to get this flower, Chairman Ren?!"
Ren smiled wryly and looked at Fang.
Fang chuckled. "We actually have a bunch of these in the backyard of our holiday home in the Dragon Nation," he said to Professor Klaus. "We can arrange for some to be brought to you, and we can try to prepare suitable conditions to grow it here as well, if you feel that you would require large quantities of this plant – although I am not entirely sure that it will work. I haven't seen this plant anywhere outside of Dragon Nation, and their soil and air are very different from other places."
Ren nodded in agreement. "I don't think it will grow properly in Cosmopolis, either," he said. "But we can definitely invest in a farm in Dragon Nation and have them supply to us regularly. If Professor Klaus and his team are successfully able to find the cure for Thalassemia, we will need a lot of these."
Professor Klaus nearly burst into a happy dance!
