Dr. Wu looked into Duan Shenmin's glasses and said what Duan Shenmin didn't say: "What she said is true..."

Everyone present that day knew who this "she" was referring to.

Pei Xi looked up at Dr. Wu, then turned to Duan Shenmin. .

Duan Shenmin didn't say anything or look at her, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Minister Ren looked at Duan Shenmin, then at Dr. Wu, "What are you talking about?"

Duan Shenmin shook his head, "Nothing."

Minister Ren nodded, and turned to Pei Xi, whose face was a little pale, and paused: "Don't put too much pressure on your team. This failure is also normal. You still need to investigate the specific problem later. We still have a few days, which is enough for you to investigate."

This kind of scientific research failure is actually very normal. It is impossible for every one of them to succeed at once.

But this is Pei Xi's field. The external model of the nuclear submarine used this time is the model that Pei Xi submitted last time, so she was able to get the title of honorary professor and became famous in Beijing.

She was the one who proposed the model. Although there were new plans later, she was the one who grasped the core of the entire model. No one thought that there would be any major problems in this actual combat exercise.

...

...

The minister was so confident when he was reappointed, but who knew something would go wrong today.

"Thank you, Minister Ren." Duan Shenmin nodded.

The whole team was not as energetic as at the beginning. After sending Minister Ren away, the team members were like eggplants hit by frost and started to re-check the problems with the model.

Dr. Wu and others re-checked and found no major problems.

"Pei Xi, have you found the problem?" Everyone in the team went to find Pei Xi.

Pei Xi was still sitting in front of the computer, checking bit by bit. When she heard this, she said seriously, "Let me look for it again."

Seeing how serious she was, no one else bothered her.

In the entire team, Pei Xi is the only one who is good at solving this kind of problems. Everyone else follows Pei Xi's example and all revolves around Pei Xi to solve the problems.

After investigating for an afternoon, I finally found the problem.

Duan Shenmin hurried down from upstairs and looked at everyone in the office, "What's the problem?"

In the office, everyone else was very excited, except Pei Xi, who was sitting in front of the computer and was extremely stiff.

Dr. Wu wiped his face, looked at Duan Shenmin, and slowly said, "It's the budget state covariance."

"Yes, budget-state covariance. Once we find the problem, we can immediately arrange to solve it," a young man pushed his glasses and sat in front of his computer. "Now we have to reallocate the tasks..."

The problem was finally found and the people in the office were very excited.

Duan Shenmin also smiled when he returned to his office. The smile on his face slowly disappeared.

After Dr. Wu glanced at Duan Shenmin, he also walked out quietly.

He walked to Duan Shenmin and opened his mouth: "Shenmin, that Miss Meng really guessed right..."

"Do you think it's a guess?" Duan Shenmin took out a cigarette. Smoking is not allowed in the research institute, so he didn't light it, but his brows deepened.

Dr. Wu was no longer sure and changed the subject, "To fix this problem, I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime at the institute in the next two days."

Especially...

Overtime work may not be ruled out, and Dr. Wu, who has always believed in Pei Xi, began to waver.

Jianghe Villa.

Su Di's car slowly drove to the underground garage. Meng Fu saw Dabai by the artificial lake and asked Su Di to stop the car.

Su Di had to go out to buy groceries, so he left Meng Fu here.

There weren't many people in the community, most of them were celebrities. The weather was still extremely cold in February, and there were even fewer people outside. When Dabai saw Meng Fu, he flapped his wings.

Running towards Meng Fu.

Meng Fu put on the big hood of her cotton coat and walked slowly towards Dabai.

By the lake, Su Cheng was holding a cell phone and making a call. There was a black rope tied between his bony fingers, wrapped around his fingers twice.

Feeling the rope being pulled, he glanced back, his eyes fixed on Meng Fu, and his voice became much lazier, "It depends."

When Meng Fu walked in and squatted down to look at Dabai, she heard him say "hmm" lazily.

He seemed not to be afraid of the cold, as he stood there lazily in his white sweater. His whole temperament was cold and the snow-white sweater could not suppress his aura. Only the few lazy strands of black hair falling on his forehead highlighted his warmth.

No matter where you stand, you will be extremely eye-catching.

He glanced at Meng Fu and hung up the phone.

"I have something to do, and I may have to stay in seclusion for a while." After all, the space propulsion system is a big project, and many projects need to be kept confidential. Even if a confidentiality agreement is signed, Meng Fu's schedule will not be so free.

"See, from the Academy of Engineering?" Su Cheng's voice sounded low, the black line was still wrapped around his fingers. He had cold fair skin, and the black and white contrast made him look a little colder.

He had seen the documents Meng Fu had read before and knew that she had taken on a research project.

Meng Fu didn't deliberately hide it from him.

She guessed that Su Cheng knew about this project.

"This year, we are researching two major projects. Dean Li asked me to join the aerospace propulsion project." Meng Fu stood up and spoke slowly.

Hearing Meng Fu's voice, Su Cheng's voice sounded a little strange, "Space propulsion device?"

"Hmm?" Meng Fu looked at him sideways.

"It's okay." Su Cheng seemed to be thinking about something. He wound the black line with one hand and brought Dabai back.

Dabai returned with almost no desire to live.

"My mother has something to do recently and can't take it with her." Su Cheng explained, his tone becoming a little casual.

Meng Fu hadn't seen Dabai for a long time, so she reached out and picked up Dabai who had walked to Su Cheng's feet.

He pinched Dabai's mouth with his fingertips and looked it up and down.

Ma Cen has been taking care of Dabai recently.

Ma Cen is similar to Su Cheng, both of them spend money without blinking an eye.

Dabai was wrapped all over.

Meng Fu looked at the blinding diamond on Dabai's neck, squinted her eyes, picked it up casually, and recognized it as a brand endorsed by Yi Tong, "It's a goose..."

"Well," Su Cheng reached out and held her hand holding the diamond, then put it down, lowered his eyelashes, and chuckled, "It's a goose, they match."

He slowly squeezed his fingertips into Meng Fu's fingers, and seeing that she seemed to be a little overwhelmed, he thought for a moment, "My mother is a VVIP, and every year someone comes to our house to customize gifts for her. This year, she customized one for Dabai, and it doesn't cost any money."

It’s actually custom-made.

Meng Fu thought expressionlessly.

Su Cheng still had the rope wrapped around his other hand. Seeing Dabai being held by Meng Fu, he loosened the rope and reached out to press the elevator button.

The elevator came up from the basement.

The two waited for a while and then the elevator door opened.

There were quite a few people in the elevator. Meng Fu and Su Cheng had special temperaments, so many people looked at them as soon as they came in. When they met Su Cheng's gaze, they quickly looked away.

The man inside took a step aside to make room for the two of them, and glanced at Meng Fu vaguely.

Meng Fu was not wearing a mask. The wide cotton-padded jacket hood covered most of her face, leaving only her chin and a small part of the nose tip exposed. The collar of her sweater also slightly blocked her jaw.

The man got closer and felt that Meng Fu looked familiar.

Before he could take a closer look, he was blocked by a black figure.

Then a gaze turned over. The man was stunned. He looked up and saw a pair of bottomless eyes, like a black hole, where light could never escape once it seeped in.

There was an extremely cold look between his eyebrows.

In the narrow space of the elevator, the air seemed to become oppressive.

The man quickly looked away.

Meng Fu was leaning against the wall in the corner, holding a goose in her arms. Su Cheng blocked her from behind. Her fingertips unconsciously touched Su Cheng's palm. Su Cheng looked down at her.

"bite--"

They arrived at the ninth floor, and the man who had just seen Meng Fu hurriedly got off the elevator.

Su Cheng's expression remained indifferent, and he just held Meng Fu's hand tightly.

"bite--"

They arrived at the 16th floor and Su Cheng took Meng Fu out.

The only two people left in the elevator breathed a sigh of relief and finally left.

16:01, Meng Fu stood in front of the door, waiting for Su Cheng to enter the password.

Su Cheng raised his hand, but did not enter the password immediately. He just took off Meng Fu's hat.

Without a hat blocking her sight, Meng Fu raised her head casually. Her peach blossom eyes were lazy and a little cold. Her eyelashes trembled as she spoke: "What's wrong?"

The eyelashes cast a shadow under the eyelid.

"I ate the candy," Su Cheng was much taller than her, so he lowered his head and got very close to her. His voice was very low, and his eyes were very dark. He said slowly, "It's very sweet."

He was so close that his breath was barely noticeable on her face. Meng Fu blinked, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. He paused for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed her.
