Chapter 183: 0183 If I can do it, why not do it_1

No matter what Lucy Wood and Felicia Frost are thinking about Ellen Young now.

Ellen Young started preparing the noon meal.

Winning the Edgar wasn’t a shock to her, but of course, many people called to congratulate her.

They were mostly colleagues and other experts she had collaborated with; those whose names would shake the entire country when mentioned—super geniuses all congratulated her the same way.

"Congratulations, remember to treat us."

Ellen Young spent all morning answering calls while cooking, as Ruffy Smith teased the little black dog outside.

The little black dog didn’t seem too interested in Ruffy Smith, but Ruffy didn’t mind, and forced Blackie to learn the phrase "congratulations and prosperity." Blackie’s barking always sounded slightly resentful, perhaps annoyed by Ruffy’s pestering.

It wasn’t until Ellen Young’s faint voice came from inside the house, "Ruffy, help me wash the vegetables."

Ruffy immediately stood up, and Blackie, seeing its chance to escape his grasp, ran off, barking at Ruffy from a distance.

Ruffy entered the kitchen and saw a bunch of greens next to the sink. He went over and started washing them awkwardly, asking with interest, "Have you finished with your calls?"

Congratulatory calls had come non-stop all morning.

His tone was casual, "Didn’t you win the Edgar once before? Why are those people still so excited?"

Ellen Young didn’t speak; she just looked at her wristwatch, gauging how much longer the hairy crabs had left to steam.

The crabs were all ordered by Ruffy, who, since hiring a chef, had all the best ingredients airlifted in from outside.

Even when Ellen Young cooked, he would have people send some over when he had nothing else to do.

After a long while, Ellen Young finally spoke, "They are happy."

She had been somewhat happy the first time she won an award, more because it was expected.

Later, with too many major awards and patents accumulated, and having received heavyweight awards, the pursuit of scientific outcomes became her main focus, and she didn’t place as much importance on winning awards.

Ruffy asked, "Aren’t you happy?"

Ellen Young replied, "Happy."

Ruffy looked at her calm face and couldn’t see any sign of happiness.

Of course, she had always been like that in her character.

Winning the Edgar again was merely another addition to her already illustrious career, for she was someone destined to go down in history.

He chuckled softly, the greens washed, he put them aside, watching Ellen busy herself and asked with his chin slightly raised, "What do you plan to do after taking a year off?"

Ellen Young replied, "Continue doing what I want to do."

Continue with scientific research.

Life must be filled with meaning. She retired because the task given by the country was completed; what came after was purely for her own enjoyment.

Ruffy listened until his teeth felt sore.

In her life, perhaps repeating those experiments in the laboratory was the real pursuit.

He tilted his head slightly, his tone somewhat playful, "You’ve finished all you set out to do, you have so much patent fee income, Wanton’s development is unparalleled, you have money and status, what more do you seek?"

"Does one only seek to be fed?"

Ellen Young spoke indifferently, "Like cooking, everyone strives to make it taste better. Life can be better; future scientific advancements can make human life more convenient. If I can contribute, why shouldn’t I?"

Wanton’s development has brought benefits to the people of the whole country, and the chip has transformed Sina’s standing in the global high-tech industry.
