Chapter 786 I have an objection, it’s Professor Xie (two chapters in one)
Under the scorching sun, Jiang Fuyue put on the sun hat she had prepared in advance and put on a sun-protective jacket.
Any exposed areas are tightly blocked.
"Women are trouble!" A member of the "single team" in the car next to him couldn't help but sneer.
She turned a deaf ear and covered her face with her sleeves.
Xu Kuan rolled his eyes and started to retort, "What's wrong with you? What they do is none of your business!"
"How dare you talk like that, you little brat? Do you have any manners?!"
Xu Kuan: "I speak with my mouth. As for politeness, I only have it if others have it. If others don't have it, I don't want it either."
"you--"
"Enough!" Shan Pinghua stopped him.
Only then did both sides stop fighting.
Jiang Fuyue had already leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Chuanhao: "Control your firecracker temper and don't explode at the slightest provocation."
Xu Kuan: "Who told that old man to be so mean? He deserves it!"
"The person involved hasn't said anything, why are you so anxious to intervene?"
"I can't stand his sarcastic, idiotic manner, can't I? It's like he wasn't born by a woman, what the hell is that?"
"Anyway, just behave yourself! Stop causing trouble! Besides..." Bai Chuanhao paused and glanced at the car in front, "They may not remember your kindness."
Xu Kuan said, "I just do what I want to do. I don't need anyone to remember my kindness!"
…
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and several off-road vehicles passed through a golden and undulating desert and finally stopped in front of the base.
The ramparts are steep and smooth, with checkpoints at the entrance and yellow line areas marked out.
"No entry" is written in Arabic within the yellow line!
However, the off-road vehicle that Jiang Fuyue and his party were riding in was not among the prohibited areas, so they drove in directly and openly.
Jiang Fuyue woke up early and was turning her head to look out the car window.
There was a sentry every five steps and a guard post every ten steps, and the security was very tight.
The soldiers coming and going were all in camouflage uniforms, standing straight and tall with solemn expressions.
About five minutes later, the SUV stopped in front of a flat building.
The soldier driving the car suddenly said something, and everyone was confused.
Seeing no response, he said it again.
Everyone still didn't understand.
"What is he talking about?"
"It seems to be Arabic, do you know it?"
"I can't even speak English well, how can I do this?"
"Who understands? Please translate it for everyone!" someone said.
Jiang Fuyue adjusted the sun hat on his head and said calmly, "He asked us to get off the car."
After saying that, he pushed open the car door and got out first.
The soldier in the driver's seat nodded at her and gave her a thumbs up: "!@#￥"
Jiang Fuyue replied with something.
Anyway, other people didn't understand.
Then everyone followed suit and got off the car one after another.
"Do you understand Arabic?" someone in Shan Pinghua's team suddenly asked.
Jiang Fuyue said lightly: "A little."
Another middle-aged man jumped out and said, "That's perfect. We don't know how to do it. You will be responsible for translation from now on."
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but another voice was faster than hers -
"Teacher Xin, you're so proud of yourself. You don't care about the people in your own team, but you go and command other team leaders. You're really capable!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Ah—" Xu Kuan pretended to realize something belatedly, "No, I was wrong. You're just an ordinary team member. You can't even manage the people on your own team."
Xin Hongcheng's eyes were blazing with anger. "Xu Kuan, stop being so arrogant in front of me. What does this have to do with you?"
"It's none of my business, but I'm known to be a bit of a nuisance, like to meddle in other people's affairs. Don't you know that?"
"Poof—" Someone in Bai Chuanhao's team couldn't help it.
Xin Hongcheng was furious. "You young fools, don't argue! What's wrong with me asking her to be a translator? Do any of you speak Arabic?"
Bai Chuanhao: "I will."
Xin Hongcheng: "..."
Xu Kuan smiled and said, "Teacher Xin, I'm not really talking about who can speak Arabic. I was clearly arguing with you about letting Jiang Fuyue be the translator."
"Yes, I asked her to be the translator. Is there any problem?"
"Of course there's a problem! Are you the King of Western Chu? You just assign tasks to people without even asking if they're willing to do it."
Xin Hongcheng laughed angrily: "Why would she not want to do that?"
Xu Kuan rolled his eyes: "Have you asked?"
Xin Hongcheng choked.
At this time, Shan Pinghua suddenly said, "Old Xin, stop talking. After all, we have been eating dry rice for decades. Why should we bother with the younger generation?"
"Yeah," Xin Hongcheng took over the conversation, sighing softly, "I'm already old, why should I still be so hard on myself? It's really wrong to waste time and energy on unworthy people and unimportant things!"
As he spoke, he patted his sleeves and adjusted his collar.
He looked as if to say, "I am very noble and will not bother with you."
Xu Kuan's irritable little universe couldn't help but explode on the spot.
Bai Chuanhao stopped him and said, "Calm down."
"No... these two old men can't even talk properly. Their accents are weird and they sound like hermaphrodites. How can we stay calm?"
"Why are you arguing with them? It's not the first day we've met."
"It's not just one or two days, so I can't stand it anymore!"
Bai Chuanhao's eyebrows jumped: "Don't forget what you promised before you came!"
"I promised not to cause trouble, but now trouble is coming to me. Am I not allowed to fight back? That's too frustrating."
"Don't give me that!" Bai Chuanhao lowered his voice: "If you don't stand up for Jiang Fuyue, there will be no trouble!"
"Tsk, Old White, you really don't know how to be gentle with women, do you? She's just a little girl, not even twenty years old, and you just watch her get ordered around by these old guys? How can you bear it?"
Bai Chuanhao shrugged: "I can't bear it."
"...Then you deserve to be single since birth. It's not unfair at all."
Bai Chuanhao: "?"
"Anyway, I can't stand it, so I'm going to help her! You can stop her, but you can't stop her anyway."
Bai Chuanhao: "??"
Over there, Dan Pinghua and Xin Hongcheng were still talking back and forth, their coordination was too tacit, their tone was so pretentious that it was enough to make one's teeth ache.
Shan Pinghua: "Now that the younger generation has grown stronger, they're starting to dislike us old guys for getting in the way. A few words of criticism are just the beginning. It's good enough that they didn't kick you out. So, Old Xin, don't set your sights too high. As the saying goes, 'In life, it's rare to be ignorant. Just turn a blind eye.'"
Xin Hongcheng: "Every one of them is so ungrateful! In academia, we don't just look at who has published a few CNS papers, who has won a Youth Award, or who is famous online. Ultimately, seniority is still the key!"
When Bai Chuanhao heard this, he was shocked. He was being bombarded for trying to stop the fight. What else could he do?
Close the door and let the dog out!
Ah, no, let Xu Kuan go!
"Teacher Xin, your words are ambiguous," Xu Kuan jumped in immediately, his fighting spirit at full blast. "Seniority in academia isn't based on age, gray hair, or beard, nor is it based on thick skin or sour tone."
"Then what are you looking at?" someone responded with a smile.
Xu Kuan curled his lips. "Of course it depends on who has the greater ability, who has the stronger capacity, and who has the higher level! Oh, and the most important point is that moral character must be good! Don't you agree, Teacher Shan? You are well-known for your virtue, high prestige, and respect!"
He pronounced the last four words clearly and forcefully.
Shan Pinghua was a little embarrassed and declined with a wry smile: "No... I'm just an ordinary person, you're too kind..."
Xu Kuan smiled and looked at Xin Hongcheng again: "Teacher Xin, what do you think? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Xin Hongcheng was choked by him and his eyes widened. He moved his lips but was too angry to make a sound.
At this time, another member of Shan Pinghua's team stepped in to smooth things over. "There's no need for us to argue so heatedly. The matter is simple. It's just whether Jiang Fuyue is willing to be a translator. Why don't we just ask her?"
Seemingly neutral, but actually biased.
If they all asked, would Jiang Fuyue still refuse?
She nodded, and no matter how unhappy Xu Kuan was, he had to hold it in and solve the problem directly and fundamentally.
Xin Hongcheng obviously realized this and immediately agreed: "That's right, we should ask Jiang Fuyue herself."
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked calmly towards her, a smile playing on the corner of his mouth, but it looked a little unnatural no matter how he looked at it.
"Jiang Fuyue, you've seen what happened. I believe you have your own judgment on what's right and wrong."
"Most of the members of both teams don't speak Arabic. To ensure smooth communication and efficient research, I'll have to ask you to serve as a translator. Do you have any objections?"
It's not "Are you willing?" but "Do you have any objection?". It means the same thing, but the latter doesn't sound very pleasant.
"How can you be so—" Xu Kuan was about to start a quarrel but was stopped by Bai Chuanhao halfway through.
"Old White, what are you doing? Why don't you let me speak? How can they ask for opinions like this?"
"No rush, let's see how Jiang Fuyue responds."
"This is coercion! This is moral kidnapping! How can a little girl like you ask her to refuse? Even if she doesn't want to, she doesn't dare to say it."
But at this moment——
The "little girl" in Xu Kuan's eyes spoke, without any hesitation or panic, nor any fear or timidity. Her clear voice was like a spring gurgling through a mountain stream, cold and refreshing: "I have it."
Xin Hongcheng's smile froze, his eyes blank, "...what?"
"I said, I have objections." Her expression remained unchanged and her tone was normal.
Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded, including Xu Kuan and Bai Chuanhao.
There was silence for nearly ten seconds.
Then, boom, the pot exploded—
"So, she refused?"
"Look! Xin Hongcheng's face has turned green."
"A large-scale social suicide scene?"
"Oh my god! This Jiang Fuyue is so bold!"
"Honestly, after watching the video online of her beating up those R-countrymen, I knew this girl wasn't that simple."
"You shouldn't be asking people that in the first place. Any objections? Should we put the proposal to a vote by raising hands?"
"Now I'm good enough to put on a trap and cover myself up. I'm really good at it!"
"In the final analysis, it's because you think you're a soft persimmon because you're young, but you never expected you're a hard nut, and you broke your fingers!"
"Are young girls this amazing these days?"
“…”
Xu Kuan swallowed hard, his dull eyes turning twice before he came back to his senses from the shocking scene just now.
The words "I have objections" are very powerful!
Oh my god! This is too tough, right?
"Old White! Did you see that? This is the highest level of argument. If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. But once you open your mouth, I'll beat you up in the face! Ouch! So cool!"
Bai Chuanhao just realized what was happening, "She..."
"How is it? Isn't it super handsome?"
Well!
"I can only say that he is not an ordinary person."
Most people will agree with a smile even if they are unwilling a thousand times. How can they dare to refuse in public?
But she dared.
Not only did he do this, but he also did it without any burden.
Faced with the whispers and pointing of the crowd at this moment, he remained calm as if nothing happened.
powerful!
So strong!
As for Xin Hongcheng, his old face was flushed with embarrassment, shame, anger, and all kinds of emotions surged up at once.
Shan Pinghua, realizing the situation was not good, had already retreated back into the team, his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, remaining silent like an old monk in meditation.
Xin Hongcheng gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Fuyue, do you know what you're saying? We're all here to help Continent F. Only with unity can we overcome the difficulties ahead. Now I just asked you to help with translation, and you're so reluctant. Will you refuse to cooperate in any future areas where we need cooperation?"
Jiang Fuyue glanced at him lightly and spoke slowly, "First of all, while it's true that we're here to aid Continent F, we're not all united in our purpose. Research requires multiple perspectives, multiple levels, and multiple perspectives. Only by fully leveraging individual initiative can we ultimately pool collective wisdom. If everyone were united in their purpose and had the same ideas, what would the point of research be?"
"Secondly, my job is to research the Shenkwo virus recombinant vaccine, not to be your translator. I know the priorities, and I hope you won't be misled."
"Finally, I refused the translation because it was not within my job scope. If there is any future cooperation and it is related to my work, then I welcome it. If it is not, I will still refuse it."
"Oh, by the way, let me add one more thing. If anyone needs an interpreter, they can contact the relevant personnel at the base to apply for one."
Jiang Fuyue finished speaking in one breath, with clear logic and organization.
Then the soul asked: "Teacher Xin, do you have any questions?"
“…”Deathly quiet.
Xin Hongcheng sneered: "Oh, work? What do you think you can accomplish on your own? If you really want to divide it up clearly and clearly, I'm afraid you will get nothing!"
Although they are nominally three teams, they were sent to Continent F in the same batch. If one team makes a major discovery or achievement during the period, then all the scientific researchers sent in the same batch will benefit from it.
This is also why Shan Pinghua is so tolerant of this group of young people headed by Bai Chuanhao.
After all, in this time when "one person's success will bring prosperity to the whole family", it is better to make good friends than to make enemies.
Bai Chuanhao obviously knew this very well, so he stopped Xu Kuan when he provoked the other party, for fear that the relationship between the two sides would become too strained.
Who can guarantee that major research discoveries will come from their own team?
Don't do anything to the extreme, so that you can meet again in the future.
Xin Hongcheng's words, the so-called "nothing gained" actually carry the meaning of warning and threat.
To put it bluntly, they are certain that Jiang Fuyue is alone and young, and will not make any major discoveries, so if they want to gild themselves and share the honor, they have to rely on them!
In this case, I would never dare to jump around again.
You know, such a cross-border aid operation is a rare opportunity for a scientific researcher.
Let me put it this way, if you can add this to your resume, your future path will be much smoother.
If there are major discoveries or results, then the road will be paved!
really--
When everyone heard this, their expressions became subtle, and fear flashed in their eyes.
Xin Hongcheng's move was really ruthless. He pinched their vital points with just one pinch.
But Jiang Fuyue seemed to not understand at all, and said calmly: "Don't worry about what I can accomplish. But you," she shook her head, "you definitely can't accomplish anything."
People who don't put any thought into academics and only think about how to pave their own way and get along with everyone can no longer be called "research scholars".
More mercenary than a businessman and more despicable than a thief.
How can I concentrate on doing research?
Xin Hongcheng's smile froze, his old face flushed: "You——"
Jiang Fuyue met his angry gaze without flinching or avoiding it, remaining calm as usual.
The atmosphere gradually became tense, and the air seemed to stop flowing.
Just then, the roar of a car engine suddenly came from far away.
Soon, a military off-road vehicle appeared in front of everyone.
A sudden brake and a tailspin raised up yellow sand all over the sky, looking domineering and arrogant.
The car door opened, and a non-commissioned officer in camouflage and a man in a white lab coat got out from the driver's seat and the passenger seat respectively.
Someone suddenly shouted, "Professor Xie! It's Professor Xie!"
Jiang Fuyue's eyelids twitched.
99 is really the long-awaited one...
