Chapter 78 She Was a Brilliant Rose
As the person who graded the test papers, Song Yuanyang knew very well that if Jiang Tang only answered the last question, she would get first place, not Huang Yiyi.
As for why Song Yuanyang knew that Jiang Tang knew French, it all started from the first time on the train.
Song Yuanyang was reading some foreign language materials at the time. Those materials were not in English, but in French, so he found it so difficult to read. His French level was quite average, and he only understood it after Jiang Tang reminded him.
Jiang Tang only took a quick glance on the train and could tell the complex French word order, but during the exam, she said she didn't understand French.
Song Yuanyang could see that Jiang Tang was deliberately hiding her abilities.
But why do this?
Isn't it the job of young people like them to use their abilities to promote research and development and do something meaningful for the country?
Or... Jiang Tang's reluctance is not because he is unwilling to translate scientific research materials, but because he is unwilling to be Song Yuanyang's assistant?
Song Yuanyang cared a lot about the answer in Jiang Tang's heart, so he rushed out in a hurry, called out to Jiang Tang, and wanted to hear her answer.
"Comrade Jiang, if it's because of my personal reasons that you don't want to join the research group, you can choose another researcher, and that will be just as good—"
"Because Comrade Huang Yiyi is more suitable than me."
Jiang Tang spoke quickly, interrupting Song Yuanyang's anxious explanation.
She could see how anxious Song Yuanyang was and how much he cared about her answer. The usually gentle and calm person actually showed an expression of impatience and panic, especially when she thought about the incident that Song Yuanyang had specially come to the compound to remind her to take the exam yesterday.
Jiang Tang knew very well in her heart that she had failed Song Yuanyang's expectations.
So she put away her previous joking tone and repeated it in a serious tone.
"Comrade Song, you haven't had much contact with Huang Yiyi, so you don't have a deep understanding of her abilities. But once you've worked with her, you'll find she's more suitable for this job than I am."
Even though Jiang Tang said this, Song Yuanyang still frowned tightly.
Song Yuanyang said puzzledly, "But your ability is obviously better than Comrade Huang's."
"Comrade Song, I said that Comrade Huang Yiyi is more suitable than me. Not only in terms of ability, but also in terms of her patience and status."
"……identity?"
"Yes, it's about identity." Jiang Tang explained directly, "Comrade Song, you should know about my class background. My parents and family members all fell into the "five black categories." I'm an unwelcome capitalist's daughter. But you, Song Yuanyang, are a researcher who even Chief He treats with special regard and is willing to personally pick you up at the train station. Are you really just an ordinary researcher?"
Song Yuanyang is not only a researcher, he is also a scientist, and a scientist involved in research on state secrets.
The so-called researcher is just the most insignificant identity that the outside world has for him.
"The research data you're currently handling is public information. However, as your research deepens, the various experimental data and subsequent data files you generate will no longer be publicly available. Instead, they will become the most critical confidential information within our military, and even within this country."
"If I join your team and any information is leaked, who do you think will be the first suspect when the superiors investigate? It will only be me."
Jiang Tang said all this frankly. He was not angry about being suspected because of his background, but he deeply understood the helplessness of everyone under the tide of the times.
"No……"
Song Yuanyang wanted to reject Jiang Tang's hypothesis, which did not necessarily mean that secrets would be leaked, nor did he necessarily suspect Jiang Tang.
But...is it really not certain?
Who can guarantee it 100%?
Jiang Tang was only anticipating future risks and avoiding them within the scope of her ability.
"Song Yuanyang, I am very grateful for your recognition of my abilities. But I am not alone. I have a lover and a child. Fu Sinian respects me and lets me make my own decision. As Fu Sinian's lover, I must also respect him and cannot let him be affected again because of me."
Because in Jiang Tang's assumption, if she was suspected by everyone, Fu Sinian would definitely be implicated.
The marriage five years ago had already implicated Fu Sinian once; this time, Jiang Tang didn't want this man to make selfless sacrifices for her again, so she would protect him instead.
After listening to Jiang Tang's words, Song Yuanyang fell silent.
He truly understood the meaning of why Jiang Tang said "Huang Yiyi is more suitable than her".
Besides that, there is envy...
I envy the relationship between Jiang Tang and Fu Sinian, where they both care about each other. It is pure and warm, and it is the happy feeling that love should have.
Jiang Tang nodded slightly towards Song Yuanyang, "Comrade Song, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Song Yuanyang didn't call out Jiang Tang again and watched her leave silently.
Outside the door, Huang Yiyi was waiting for Jiang Tang to come out.
Huang Yiyi looked a little strange. She looked at Jiang Tang several times with embarrassment and discomfort on her face, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Jiang Tang took a few glances and immediately understood, "Did you hear that?"
Huang Yiyi quickly apologized, "Comrade Jiang, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. That corridor... there's an echo in the corridor. Comrade Song spoke too quickly, and I heard a little bit before I even walked out. Really just a little bit. I heard Comrade Song say... that you can speak French?"
"Yeah, I know a little bit."
Jiang Tang knows more than just a little bit, she is an expert in foreign languages, from English to Russian, to French, Spanish... she even knows Arabic, which is like a hieroglyphic language.
Her title of genius campus beauty in the Foreign Languages Department was not earned casually, but was the result of real talent and knowledge.
After Huang Yiyi heard that Jiang Tang could speak French, the light in her eyes immediately disappeared, as if she was about to become the dull and timid Huang Yiyi again.
Jiang Tang quickly said, "Yiyi, it doesn't matter whether I can speak French or not. You, Huang Yiyi, will be the first in this exam."
"But you made me..."
"No one gave you any trouble. When I chose to give up on the problem, I had already lost to you. You're working with Comrade Song, and the tasks ahead will surely be heavy. You had the courage to carry them to the end, while I chose to give up from the very beginning. Huang Yiyi, your spirit has already won me over. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Jiang Tang looked at Huang Yiyi with his bright eyes, hoping that the tiny changes that had occurred in Huang Yiyi would not disappear just like that, and hoping that her life would become a brilliant rose.
Because she was originally a rose, but was bound by the mud.
Huang Yiyi understood the meaning in Jiang Tang's eyes.
She couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red again.
With a sudden movement, he hugged Jiang Tang tightly.
She leaned close to Jiang Tang's ear and trembled slightly as she said, "Thank you, thank you!"
When Huang Yiyi chose to be a freshman, the compound was in turmoil again...
