Chapter 113 - Master and Disciple Discussion
The next day, Ning Fei reported to Yu Zhou's office again.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled coffee; looking around the room, he found the same coffee machine and capsules as his own. This surprised Ning Fei a little, and he asked in confusion: "You started drinking coffee too?"
"Seeing that you guys are obsessed with it, let's get one and try out the quality of coffee in this world." Yu Zhou stood by the window with a cup of coffee on the windowsill. He turned around and pointed in the direction of the desk, "That cup is yours."
"You'd be so kind as to make me some coffee?" Ning Fei was even more puzzled. He sat down on the chair in front of the desk, picked up the cup and looked at it. "Is there any poison in it?"
"You're crazy." Yu Zhou said coldly, "But I did taste it. It's bitter and sour. I don't understand why you like it."
"If you think it's bitter, don't drink the pure stuff. Why don't you get some capsules with other flavors?" Ning Fei took a sip and squinted his eyes slightly. "I don't drink the pure stuff often. Do you have any sugar in this?"
"No, I don't drink it if I want."
"Tsk, let's make do with it. I just happened to be out this morning and didn't have time to make a drink." Ning Fei took another sip and finally asked, "Who pissed you off so early in the morning? You stood by the window with a sullen face for a long time, and you did something you didn't like. I just got here. It must be Yue Fengping who pissed you off, right?"
Yu Zhou narrowed his eyes.
Ning Fei guessed again: "Is it about Huichuan's new drug being brought to Tianyue?"
"They are aboveboard, and I'm a petty thief. I put up with a whole dinner party. Isn't it normal that they can finally give me a 'ideological education' when I get home?" Yu Zhou said with a mocking tone, and it was obvious that Ning Fei hit the nail on the head. "What he said was that if Duan Yunhong reported it, I might be taken away for investigation. This is too reckless. And if you want medicine, you can go through the prescribed channels. Huichuan has been known to the outside world for having good stuff, so it's impossible for them not to give it to you... Anyway, it's the same old thing. What new words can you come up with?"
"That's it? Is it necessary to make you so angry? You are dating a man like him, and you are doing so many things under his nose. I am not surprised that he would react like this." Ning Fei raised his eyebrows slightly. "Besides, you didn't say that I took the initiative to let Zheng Liwen bring it back? Besides, this medicine was given to me by Duan Yunhong in private. If we investigate, he will be the source. He will report it."
"No, there's no need to drag you into this." Yu Zhou replied, "He did scold me and told me not to involve you, saying things like 'asking a friend to do something like this and using small favors to compensate is not treating a friend sincerely'."
"...Pfft." Ning Fei couldn't help laughing, and looked down at the coffee in his hand, "Xiao En Xiao Hui, is he talking about the coffee machine you got for me? Doesn't he know why I went to Huichuan?"
"I really don't know clearly. I just said before that you went to Huichuan for something." Yu Zhou replied, "Duan Yunhong said something mean last night, so he thought I sent you to do something bad."
"Even if it is, so what?" Ning Fei said, "Why haven't you disciplined him yet? Don't complain to me now and then forgive his whining behavior. I don't want to see him washing his underwear with a cold face."
"Scolding, am I not scolding?" Yu Zhou finally took another sip of his mocha and said slowly, "It's just that I want to scold in a different way. I don't want to do the kind of thing where he supports me in doing anything - even if it's something that's not in his favor or against his will - and is willing to help me. It's quite boring, like a puppy that can only wag its tail mindlessly."
Ning Fei asked: "So what kind do you want?"
"I want the kind of person who knows I'm wrong, knows I won't change even if he scolds me countless times, knows I'll get worse...but still has to help me clean up the mess." Yu Zhou leaned against the windowsill and looked at Ning Fei, and replied faintly, "Although he feels guilty, disappointed and angry with me, and even feels confused and painful about this relationship, he still can't let go. Even if we are separated in name, as long as something happens to me, he will still do his best to help me. Even if I make a huge mistake, he has to help me cover it up because he can't control himself from doing so.
"My shadow will be forever and deeply imprinted in his heart."
Ning Fei: “…”
Ning Fei: "It's been so long since we last met, you're really getting more and more abnormal."
Yu Zhou smiled: "Thanks for the compliment."
Ning Fei thought of Duan Yunhong's evaluation of Yu Zhou last night, and could only say that his understanding was still not deep enough.
After talking about Yu Zhou’s emotional story, the two began to discuss what Ning Fei should do next.
Yu Zhou's idea was to recruit Ning Fei into his office, have him do things directly for him, and sometimes even act as an agent or something. However, considering that Yue Fengping mentioned that Ning Fei's ability is level three, it would be a bit of a waste to keep it in the office. So Yu Zhou just went through the motions and asked him if he wanted to go out and fight.
"I don't want to lead the psychic team anymore. Even if I want to, you'll definitely ask me to do things for you. Why should I go through so much hardship by working two jobs?" Ning Fei finished the bitter and sour coffee and put it down. "But if needed, I can go out to support. Oh, and if I need to vent, I might also apply to go out and relax."
Yu Zhou sat back in his office, and laughed jokingly at what he said: "'Need to vent'? You didn't want the one I introduced to you, and I was thinking how you could vent when you came back, but you actually 'brought' your own back. Well, wait until he leaves, and then you can pick one yourself."
"You seem like the kind of gossipy old lady who is trapped in a marriage grave herself but still wants to persuade the younger generation to get married early. I won't die without sex." Ning Fei knocked on the table, "Let's get down to business. What's the main purpose of my coming to your office?"
"Help me with some personnel work first. Then we have to screen talents in various fields and support them. Focus on finding researchers who study viruses, weapons, food breeding and cultivation, as well as individuals and teams with strong combat capabilities." Yu Zhou replied, "It would be best to find a way to investigate the initial source of the mutation. The original owner, Chen Yikun, died early and his status was not high, so we can't get effective information from him. If this is man-made, finding the source file will definitely be very effective."
Ning Fei thought for a while and said, "In addition to this, I think we should also set up an office in charge of variant research, and combine all related teams into it so that they can share their knowledge and experience. I heard that Huichuan originally focused on supporting teams that study the characteristics of various variants. To be honest, if these teams cooperate with Wang Haiyang's team, both sides may make faster progress. However, they seem to be working on their own and will only make the results public after the dust settles. This will inevitably slow down the progress of time."
"Sure. I'll bring this up at the meeting this afternoon." Yu Zhou nodded. "It's normal for these scientists to want to protect their research results. After all, in a peaceful world, whoever publishes the results first will own the results. But now is a special period, and there's really no need to keep the research results to themselves. Early communication will save them both trouble. If Tianyue can make achievements, other bases will learn from it. It would be best if all bases could create an atmosphere of communication, so that whichever base can find an effective way to control mutants first can speed up the pace of ending the zombie crisis."
The two of them simply finalized this far-reaching decision.
Afterwards, Yu Zhou asked about the research and development progress on Wang Haiyang's side.
Ning Fei is still in contact with Wang Haiyang. After he left, he sent a message to Wang Haiyang saying that the key to his house was in the Wang family's mailbox. He also said that the things left at Huichuan's home were no longer needed, and Wang Haiyang and his friends could use them for whatever they needed.
Wang Haiyang's family was quite polite. Apart from emptying the refrigerator, they didn't touch anything else. Wang Haiyang was also shocked by Ning Fei's "leaving without saying goodbye". He said there were some rumors in Huichuan, saying that Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong were both "poached" by Tianyue, or that Duan Yunhong was abducted by Ning Fei who "jumped ship" first. When Ning Fei brought up the excuse of "looking for relatives" and Huichuan didn't want to let him go, Wang Haiyang finally understood why Ning Fei made such a choice.
Of course, Ning Fei contacted Wang Haiyang not to chat, he wanted to know Wang Haiyang's progress. Of course, it is impossible to ask this directly. Ning Fei would only ask whether Wang Haiyang’s salary has really been increased and whether his working environment has improved. This seemingly caring attitude between friends was enough for Ning Fei to figure out Wang Haiyang's recent situation.
"It should be going smoothly. He said that he has sufficient funds recently, and Huichuan has also provided a lot of materials. He is very motivated at work and wants to achieve some results." Ning Fei said, "It won't be difficult to monitor this later. Even if Huichuan doesn't want to share the research and development results, he is in Duan Yunhong's hands, and I can just coax him to show off his achievements to me."
Yu Zhou said: "Is he so easy to deceive? Or is he easy to deceive in front of you?"
"How can this be called 'cheating'? This is a project where he has an advantage, and I can't interfere. If I give a guy like him the opportunity to show off, he won't miss it. If I pretend to be unwilling, he might even tell me more things that he didn't intend to reveal." Ning Fei replied, "However, if he has done other things behind my back, he may not tell me."
"Nonsense, we can't tell you that either." Yu Zhou asked, "By the way, how long does he plan to stay in Tianyue? If he stays out for too long, will Huichuan fire him directly?"
"Why, you want to tie him up in Tianyue and prevent him from returning?" Ning Fei crossed his legs and leaned on the armrest. "My advice is not to do that. He has spatial abilities, and who knows what's stuffed in there. If there are lethal weapons, and he finds a chance to kill Chen Yikun and his family, or launch a suicide bombing in Tianyue, Yue Fengping will be in big trouble."
Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows: "He is so extreme?"
"I haven't seen it to this extent, but I have seen it once. In order to pair up a time traveler with a woman, he almost killed the woman and then deliberately let the time traveler rescue her." Ning Fei replied, "And in order to let the two women share the time traveler, he drugged the other woman and threw her on the bed of the drugged time traveler, making it a fait accompli."
"Is this the game you said Chonglin tricked you into?" Yu Zhou clicked his tongue twice. "With such a big move, Chonglin was totally unprepared. He's too inexperienced to dare to confront you in the Administration."
"There are a lot of people like him in the Administration. When their performance is not good, they use their high moral standards and the good of time travelers as an excuse." Ning Fei smiled, "But with so many worlds and so many moral standards, whose moral standards are higher than anyone else's?"
"That's because they haven't really figured out that our client is the original owner, not the time traveler. To put it bluntly, the time traveler is just a 'prop', a tool to realize the original owner's wishes." Yu Zhou sighed, "It's quite interesting to think about it. If you were not brought up by me at the beginning, but by someone with so-called 'high moral standards', would you also become so fussy?"
"Maybe at first, but that's only because I learn by imitating first." Ning Fei replied calmly, "After I found out that their method was inefficient, I would definitely improve it, and it would eventually become what it is now. I am not the same kind of person as them."
"Ha, you're right. You remind me of the time when I first met you, when you looked younger and prettier than you are now. Although you were still very ignorant back then, I don't know why, but I just felt that we would definitely get along well." Yu Zhou sighed, "It's a pity that you later chose to grow your appearance to that of a mature adult, otherwise you would have been even more deceptive as a child."
"Because I don't like the looks of people who have a T-fetish or a minor-fetish. They are a bunch of idiots who want to be both fathers and prostitutes." Ning Fei responded coldly, "Also, time travelers tend to look down on debt collectors who look too young. I don't want to worry about this every time."
"I understand. When many idiots first met me, they thought I was aloof and reserved, so they tried to tease me to see how shy I was." Yu Zhou sneered, "If you just call them idiots, it will be really funny to see them have their fantasies shattered."
Ning Fei said: "But you still keep wearing this face without getting tired of it."
"Because it's easy to get the person I like." Yu Zhou smoothed his long silver hair. "Like you, if you weren't good-looking, how could you sleep with the person you want so easily and make them miss you so much?"
Ning Fei: "Maybe it's because I have superb skills."
Yu Zhou gave a thumbs up and liked it.
