The four people were divided into two groups, Yu Wei and Professor Zhao Mingde, and Ye Ming and Si Feifei.
With the help of Zhao Mingde and Si Feifei, the efficiency was indeed much faster. After more than six hours of moving, most of the equipment had been collected. The rest was in the basement.
Seeing that everyone was tired, Xiao Yi decided to go back and make arrangements and come back tomorrow. He also took Si Feifei and Zhao Mingde back to their residence and brought all their personal belongings into the research institute.
Most of the equipment brought back earlier has been installed. At this time, Chen Bai is leading Mr. Yuan to direct everyone in the installation.
This was exactly the scene that Xiao Yi saw when he brought Ye Mingyu Wei and Professor Zhao Mingde into the research institute building.
I thought it was just another fake greeting and flattery, or there might be some estrangement between Mr. Yuan and Professor Zhao.
What no one expected was that Mr. Yuan and Professor Zhao Mingde shook hands cordially.
Elder Yuan was unusually emotional. "Mingde, it really is you. I saw you that day, but you made dangerous gestures and I didn't dare move. I thought things were safe here and I was looking for a chance to see you, and then you came."
Zhao Mingde also changed his usual dull expression and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, I didn't expect to run into you here. What happened over there is a long story. I made the gesture that day because I didn't want others to know that we knew each other. It would be bad if it had an impact on you."
The two old men in their sixties were almost crying while talking. It took them a while to remember the people around them and smiled awkwardly.
It was Chen Bai who reacted first: "Teacher, you take Professor Zhao and the younger sister up first. I'll be responsible for the subsequent finishing work." Xiao Yi always had an indescribable feeling when looking at Chen Bai, so he simply kept Ye Ming behind as well: "Ye Ming, you take the company commander and the others to help. Once everything is installed, come up together."
Even though Ye Ming was reluctant to leave the cold beauty Si Feifei whom he had just met, he had no choice but to obey and go over there obediently.
The guard assigned to Mr. Yuan led the way and took everyone to the tenth floor, where rooms had been prepared for everyone.
Most of them were one-bedroom, one-living room units, around 70 square meters. While not large, they were well-equipped with everything. Huang Xiongwei, however, made an exception and gave Xiao Yi the largest room further down the hallway. It was also a one-bedroom, one-living room unit, but the living room was much larger. Xiao Yi felt awkward after looking at the rooms. He assumed that since Mr. Yuan had frequent meetings, he would stay in the largest room, and he could just share the room with them.
The beds and sofas inside weren't exactly new, but they were clean. Each room was equipped with shade cloth, solar panels, and a small electric fan. So the conditions were naturally much better than elsewhere. Furthermore, this place was almost entirely within the mountain, making the temperature much more comfortable than elsewhere. And their other experimental data also required a constant temperature.
Not far downstairs, they were still busy clearing the ground and digging the foundation. Huang Xiongwei was completely determined and planned to station all his main forces here. It was really painstaking to protect this research institute.
After checking out their rooms, everyone gathered in the living room of Elder Yuan's room. Elder Yuan and Zhao Mingde began to chatter, recounting several top-secret scientific research projects they had previously worked on together. Si Feifei, Yu Wei, and Xiao Yi, who were sitting nearby, were somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, this mood didn't last long, as they were interrupted by someone delivering food.
The person who delivered the meal was the guard who had just brought everyone here. He came over with two people, carrying a large box.
When I opened it, I found bowls of rice. The color of the rice looked a little strange, but it was good enough.
The dish was a stir-fried vegetable with a little salt, I don't know what it was, and there was no oil at all.
Each person was given a large bowl, along with a pair of chopsticks: "From now on, we will all eat in the small cafeteria here, and the exchange of supplies will be the same. We don't have to go out." Everyone nodded in gratitude.
After a busy day, everyone was hungry, so they put aside their memories and enthusiastically started eating. Everyone ate with great relish, after all, they hadn't eaten such food for a long time. Only Xiao Yi took a sniff and put it aside.
Then he stood up and said: "You guys stay here and don't go out. There's nothing else to do. I'll go back first. I still have some things to pack. Please help me eat my portion." Everyone knew that Xiao Yi was capable and would definitely be able to get food, so they expressed their gratitude.
Xiao Yi came out, explained his whereabouts to the guard, and returned to his room. Before he could sit down, he heard a regular knock on the door. He knew it was Fan Zun who was looking for him.
After drinking a glass of iced juice, he went to find Fan Zun. This time, the person who opened the door was not the middle-aged woman from last time, but Fan Zun himself. It was a rare occasion for Xiao Yi to see Fan Zun dressed neatly. He walked into the house and sat on the sofa that belonged to Fan Zun. Fan Zun said smugly, "Not bad. I heard that you got into the research institute directly today?"
Xiao Yi smiled: "Well, what's wrong." Fan Zun looked at Xiao Yi and punched him: "Don't be cool, tell me, what happened." Xiao Yi didn't hide anything and told him the general situation of this trip. Of course, he also concealed how he fell into the crack at the bottom of the mountain but was unharmed. Fan Zun also listened with interest and suddenly asked: "Is that thing really that strange?" Xiao Yi: "Well, it is indeed very strange."
Fan Zun: "Have you dealt with all your enemies?"
Xiao Yi: "Not yet, but it will probably be soon. What about you? You can even sit at the conference table now. What do you think?"
Fan Zun smiled and said, "Of course it's just the cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest."
“Haha ...
The two of them started their dinner amidst laughter. This was also the reason why Fan Zun called Xiao Yi this time. The dinner was a bit more luxurious than the one over there, and even included fried meat. Xiao Yi looked at the meat in front of him with a puzzled expression. Fan Zun said, "We accidentally found some uninfected pigs, brought them back and raised them secretly. We usually don't want to eat them."
Xiao Yi sniffed it, confirmed it was pork, and ate a few bites. After the meal, Fan Zun happily transferred all of Xiao Yi's share of the dividends, a total of more than 40,000 contribution points, to Xiao Yi's bracelet. Xiao Yi was now a very wealthy man. Xiao Yi looked at the amount on it, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and looked at Fan Zun: "How much did you keep?"
Fan Zun smiled and said, "I kept two-thirds to prepare for my escape." Xiao Yi looked at Fan Zun, who was more skilled than a nurse, and thought, "If he were a politician, he would be good too."
It was getting late, and it was beginning to get light outside, so Xiao Yi said goodbye and went back. On the way, he also went to see Chen Lei and Zhang Tian. The three of them were ready to go to bed. Now they not only worked, but also helped various people pass on information, so they were living a good life.
It was here that Xiao Yi finally figured out why everyone was so admiring and respectful towards him.
At the same time, he also roughly understood Huang Xiongwei's intention.
