The Physics College's plans were excellent, and indeed, they were implemented effectively.

Not to mention that the so-called blacklist had been effectively canceled; even if it hadn't been, it was already nothing more than a name. Taking it a step further, even if the blacklist was still in effect, it probably wouldn't stop numerous high-ranking scientists from pursuing science.

Serious scientists typically don't bother with those so-called restrictions.

Not to mention that Huaxia's ultra-small Particle Collider claims it can run nonstop all year. Moreover, its effects are no different from the LHC, or even more powerful. As it turns out, CERN has a lot of projects queued up. If you can become one of the first collaborators with the Xilin University of Technology Physics College, perhaps you can advance your project faster.

Of course, to ensure nothing goes wrong during the demonstration after the New Year, someone has to stay in the lab and work overtime. In Huaxia, if a machine can run all year round, then for sure, it's not just the machine doing so.

Especially because in Huaxia, they don't talk much about relaxation. Especially for these kinds of presentations to foreign scientists, they always strive for perfection, not tolerating any little flaw. Whether or not this is a good thing is a matter of opinion.

However, for the researchers who stay behind to test and maintain the ultra-small Particle Collider over the New Year, this kind of overtime doesn't feel like a burden. Many senior professors and researchers even vie for the chance to stay in the lab and work extra hours.

Some graduate students or less experienced researchers don't even have the opportunity to be in the lab and get up close to this mini collider during the New Year.

Yes, for these researchers, being scheduled to work overtime during the Spring Festival is a blessing. After all, this wasn't available before. Having the qualification for overtime means they can prioritize some of their own tests. Surely no one would object to that?

Where else do you see esteemed professors volunteering to stay in the lab and work overtime during the Spring Festival?

And so, amidst busy or leisurely lives, the Year of the Horse's Spring Festival arrived.

This year, the institute was different from past years, and it sincerely gave a holiday on New Year's Eve.

The reason for describing it as sincere is that in previous years, when it was still the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, although there was a holiday on New Year's Eve, the leader, Qiao Ze, would voluntarily come to work on that day, making it awkward for others to actually take a rest.

Although Qiao Ze rarely managed such affairs, with the boss working so hard, other professors found it difficult to truly relax even if they wanted to start their holiday early.

But this year was different.

During a meeting, the director, Li Jiangao, directly stated his hope that everyone could fully enjoy the Spring Festival holiday. He made it clear that during the Spring Festival, most floors and functions would not be available, such as the cafeteria.

The institute's supercomputing center also stopped accepting new tasks during the Spring Festival.

It almost came down to directly saying that there's no need for competition, and urging everyone to book tickets and go home to enjoy the Spring Festival.

So for Qiao Ze, the Year of the Horse's Spring Festival break started from New Year's Eve.

This Spring Festival, the Qiao Family was as lively as in previous years.

Even though Su Lixing had announced on several occasions that he was less involved, from the morning of the first day of the New Year, visitors came one after another. And these were already filtered visitors.

Many wanted to visit but couldn't even get into the neighborhood.

It wasn't until the third day of the New Year that visitor numbers gradually decreased. The two men at home finally had time to do their own things. As usual, Su Lixing locked himself in a room, tinkering with models, while Qiao Ze maintained his keen observation interest...

Yes, as long as the two little ones were awake, he would enthusiastically accompany them, watching them play around.

Although it was just accompanying.

When the two little ones started crying, he never intervened. Whether it's because they were hungry and crying, or if the two kids quarreled and started fighting on the crawling mat, even if Qiao Ze was right there watching, he'd never step in.

Because of this, Lu Xiuxiu often criticized Qiao Ze, especially when both little ones cried from fighting.

But after these days of observation, Qiao Ze found that most conflicts were initiated by the younger sister...

The main reason was that the younger sister was truly lively, while the older brother was more reserved, preferring to sit there and watch his sister crawl around. Eventually, after crawling back and forth, the sister would get bored and crawl over to the brother, reaching out to grab him everywhere, which was fine. The main problem was that every time she turned her head and kicked her foot, she'd manage to knock the well-behaved brother over.

Hearing the brother's disgruntled sounds, she'd glance back, then kick again...

Next, the two of them would get into a scuffle until they started crying, and then Lu Xiuxiu and Ms. Su would each come and pick up one of the little ones, with Lu Xiuxiu harshly scolding Qiao Ze.

"You're right there, and you didn't even think to separate the kids when they started fighting! Does it not bother you hearing them cry?"

Well, Qiao Ze indeed wasn't bothered.

After all, the little ones' capability for causing harm was quite limited, and crying was probably just because they felt wronged, definitely not because they were hurt.

Even if they actually got hurt, Qiao Ze didn't think it was a big deal.

Sometimes, Su Mucheng would be beside Qiao Ze during such times, but more often, she was busy with things that seemed chaotic to Ms. Su but meaningful to her, which also resulted in Su Mucheng getting scolded by Ms. Su a lot.
