Chapter 430: This Man's Heart, Have Lunch Together (Part 1)
The next day after being granted leave, Jiang Fuyue joined Xie Dingyuan's research team.
In addition to her, there were five other people, all men, three PhDs from Q University, one postdoctoral fellow from B University, and one top student from the University of Pennsylvania.
They are all over 30 years old, tall or short, fat or thin. The only two things they have in common are probably their high IQ and unkempt appearance.
They all wore plaid shirts and casual pants, and even watches from the same brand and series. If you didn't know, you would think they were doing wholesale.
"It's wholesale!" One of them generously confirmed Jiang Fuyue's guess, "It's from the Double Eleven group, there's promotion, and it saves a lot of money."
Everyone nodded.
"I am responsible for selecting a large number of products and conducting the initial screening."
"I mainly analyze the gameplay and calculate discounts, and also look for hidden coupons."
"I'll consider everyone's opinions and make the best choice, then pay at the appointed time and pick up the goods and unpack them."
Meticulous division of labor and assembly line output.
In response to this, Jiang Fuyue said: "..."
"Speaking of which, little one, what grade are you in? Did the teacher organize a historical tour? Why are you here alone?"
"Is he not lost?"
"We have some labs here that you can't trespass into. Something bad might happen if you do."
This is true. Bacteria and poison gas are no joke.
"Hurry up and call your teacher and ask him to come pick you up."
"Forget it, just ask Xiao Liu to take the person out."
You said a few words and I said a few words at the same time, and in a blink of an eye, Jiang Fuyue's stay or departure was decided.
She was about to explain when she saw Xie Dingyuan walk in wearing a lab coat, holding another in his hand.
He threw it to Jiang Fuyue: "New, never worn."
"Thank you." She measured it against her chest and found it was just the right size.
The other five people were obviously stunned——
"Professor Xie, who is she?"
Xie Dingyuan walked over to Jiang Fuyue and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. "Formally introduce Jiang Fuyue, the new member of the X-tree project. She will be responsible for modeling and tree data analysis."
Everyone gasped. "Is this kid a new member?! Is she... an adult?"
Xie Dingyuan: "Little friend?"
"Yes, isn't she a student visiting the Department of History and Biology?"
Jiang Fuyue: "First of all, I'm not a child, I'm an adult; secondly, I'm a student, not a visitor. You didn't give me a chance to explain, so you can't blame me for not explaining clearly."
It would have been fine if she didn't explain, but once she did, it was even more surprising.
"How many years did you study for your doctorate? Which school did you go to? What field did you specialize in? Who was your advisor?"
“What journals and magazines have you published in?”
“How many research institutes have you been to?”
Everyone was talking at once, and the enthusiasm was high.
These questions are not malicious, they just want to know the personal information of the new partner.
There was no intention to show off or embarrass anyone. After all, to be personally invited by Xie Dingyuan and to be independently responsible for the modeling work, the hardware conditions must be very complete.
However, in fact—
Jiang Fuyue tilted her head and smiled at everyone: "I am a senior in high school this year."
Two seconds of dead silence.
"Hahaha...Are all young girls nowadays as humorous as you?"
"The 18-year-old meme is no longer popular? Now it's the third year of high school?"
"If you're in your third year of high school, then I've just graduated from elementary school! What's that saying on the internet? Yeah, I'm still a baby!"
"Hahaha, Lao Bai, stop being so childish, okay? Call me baby, I think you have a bump on your head!"
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
"Xiao Jiang, don't be so modest. Let's formally introduce ourselves. Maybe there's one of your senior brothers among us!"
"Yes, yes, we have both Q University and B University."
"Hey! Penn is still here, he's not dead yet, don't bully me just because you have more people."
"Isn't your school too niche? If Xiao Jiang hadn't gone abroad, the probability of him going to Q University or B University would be higher."
Everyone looked inquiringly, waiting for Jiang Fuyue to take responsibility.
Her smile remained unchanged. "I am indeed a senior in Linnan No. 1 High School. I just handed in my leave note yesterday. If you don't believe me, ask Xie Dingyuan."
Everyone stopped laughing and turned their eyes to the man next to the girl.
Xie Dingyuan nodded honestly: "I was the one who asked for her leave."
Oh shit!
The sky is falling.
Next, Jiang Fuyue became the object of onlookers' attention. Five grown men looked at her from head to toe, and from toe to head, back and forth, as if they were looking at some rare species.
Fortunately, their gazes were simply curious and did not overstep the bounds.
"Little sister, do you have any special skills?"
Before Jiang Fuyue could answer, another man rushed in and said, "She has very long hair."
"Haha, can you put away your dry humor for a moment?"
“…”
"Alright," Xie Dingyuan finally spoke. "You still have plenty of opportunities to get to know each other. There's no need to rush. Get ready and enter S1 at ten o'clock."
S1 refers to the S1 laboratory, which has the highest level of confidentiality and is also the main location for this X-tree project.
Jiang Fuyue changed her clothes and went to the preparation room with a few people to disinfect.
During this time, she was questioned again.
Everyone was curious about what kind of ability she had that could make Professor Xie lower himself to invite her personally.
Jiang Fuyue couldn't explain it clearly, and of course she really didn't know why Xie Dingyuan chose her?
There are so many talented people and capable researchers, but he doesn't use these convenient resources and is willing to take the risk of inviting her, a high school student, to join?
Tsk, I can only say that men’s hearts are as unfathomable as the sea.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the preparations were completed.
Xie Dingyuan led a team of seven people into the S1 laboratory.
First, each person’s fingerprint information is entered, and they are required to punch in and out, not even once.
Jiang Fuyue knew that many confidential laboratories had very strict rules. She was mentally prepared, so she didn't find it strange and had no objections.
In the eyes of the other five people, this behavior became synonymous with "calmness" and "composure", and they felt that she was even more unfathomable.
After completing the established process, several people gathered together and had a clear plan for the initial stage of the experiment.
Finally, Xie Dingyuan arranged the division of labor.
During the whole process, Jiang Fuyue mostly listened and didn't speak much.
Firstly, she was not familiar enough with the project. Instead of speaking rashly, she should watch and listen more.
Secondly, each of these people is better than the other, and their minds are more active than the other. She has just arrived, so she can take this opportunity to get to know the colleagues she will be working with in the next month.
Everyone's temperament and personality were fully revealed in the discussion speeches.
As expected, Jiang Fuyue was assigned the modeling work.
"The amount of data this time is extremely large. Can she handle it alone?"
Xie Dingyuan didn't have any doubts: "Okay."
This decisive and resounding look not only amazed everyone, but even Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but look at him again.
The division of labor is completed and everyone does their own thing.
Jiang Fuyue sat in front of the computer. Since the project had just started and there was a lack of data, she decided to build the framework first.
Xie Dingyuan walked over and put one hand on her chair, but Jiang Fuyue didn't notice this action.
"Try to use the computer properly. If you have any questions, just tell me."
"Okay." Jiang Fuyue agreed generously, but she soon found that there was no need for this.
Because this computer is almost perfect in terms of configuration, performance, and user experience.
Soon, the first wave of data came out.
Jiang Fuyue had already set up the framework an hour ago and had walked around the laboratory several times. She knew everything clearly, from the direction of the windows to the blind spots in the walls.
"Little sister, the first wave of data has been sent to you."
Jiang Fuyue: "Okay."
The busy morning passed by and it was time for dinner in the blink of an eye.
Xie Dingyuan: "Everyone, take a break and go have lunch first."
Historical Biology has its own cafeteria, and there are two of them, located on the third and thirteenth floors of the building respectively.
Xie Dingyuan took Jiang Fuyue directly to the 13th floor.
Because there are few people, it is quiet, and the distance is not far.
"Don't worry about me, I can do it myself."
Xie Dingyuan: "Do you have a meal card?"
"……No."
"I don't care about you. You can't even eat."
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips and thought to herself that this guy didn't know how to chat at all.
The food at Hanqing is excellent. It can no longer be described as "good". The word "good" should be "abundant"!
There is a wide variety of chicken, duck, and fish, and they all look very good. There are also a variety of fresh vegetables. After the meal, there are fruits such as oranges, apples, and bananas, which you can take as you like.
Beep——
Xie Dingyuan paid the bill with a credit card, Jiang Fuyue picked up the plate and chose a seat nearby.
The man also sat down opposite her and looked into her eyes.
Jiang Fuyue asked, "Where are Lao Bai and the others?"
Xie Dingyuan: "I don't know."
In fact, those people were timid and cowardly, and they didn't dare to have dinner with Xie Dingyuan at all, so they had already slipped away.
So, when they returned to the lab in the afternoon and learned that Jiang Fuyue had had lunch with Xie Dingyuan—
"warrior."
"Please accept my knees."
First update, 3,000 words.
I was stuck in the rivalry scenes and it has been stuck since the afternoon, so the update is a bit late, please forgive me~
Second update at 12 o'clock.
