Shi Moyun shook her head and gave her secretary a wink.
The secretary had already taken the thermos from Fan Xiaofan's hand and said disapprovingly, "The area where you get hot water is a dangerous area. If you need it in the future, just call me."
Fan Xiaofan needs to be protected from head to toe.
Shi Moyun nodded in satisfaction. The secretary had conveyed her meaning very well...
Fan Xiaofan: "..."
Can't I even get hot water?
Shi Moyun didn't let her build up her emotions, pointing to the microphone placed to the side and saying, "Answer the phone, Mr. Lin has been waiting for quite a while..."
After Fan Xiaofan answered the phone, Mr. Lin's chuckled voice came from the other end: "You seem to have a lot of free time?"
Although that was the truth, Fan Xiaofan couldn't accept it. After all, he earned a large salary every month, and it wouldn't be good for him to be so idle. He had to demonstrate his value.
"No, I just wanted to get some hot water to clear my head..."
Shi Moyun rolled her eyes. "I don't believe you."
Recently, when he looked out the window, he saw Fan Xiaofan kicking his arms and legs rather clumsily, as if he were treating this place like a nursing home for the elderly.
Mr. Lin could almost picture the girl with a straight face, pretending to be serious.
She chuckled softly without realizing it.
"Oh, I see. Well, I happen to have something I need your help with, but you might not be available right now. It looks like I'll have to ask someone else..."
Fan Xiaofan immediately grabbed the microphone, chuckled, and said, "I'm not busy, I'm not busy."
For Fan Xiaofan, the current problem is decision paralysis. She has many ideas in her head. Nowadays, the projects that everyone in the research institute is working on are all assigned to them after everyone has an idea.
When it comes to herself, she has to think about this and that, she has too many ideas and can't decide for a while.
If someone else arranges it for her, she can get it done, pass the time, and make a contribution—what a perfect win-win situation!
Mr. Lin chuckled: "That's right, it's still about communications. Nowadays, phones are always in one fixed place, but many times when you need to make a call, you're out and about, and you might miss the best opportunity to answer the phone, so..."
Fan Xiaofan's eyes lit up immediately: "You mean, a mobile phone?"
Mr. Lin was taken aback for a moment, then unconsciously repeated the four words Fan Xiaofan had said, finding it quite amusing.
"Mobile phone, that's a very fitting name. I think you understand what I mean. Could we explore that direction?"
Fan Xiaofan proudly hummed in agreement. "Of course it's possible! Oh dear, you should have said so earlier! I had already had this idea before, but fiber optics were still under development at the time, and the advent of mobile phones would truly bring about tremendous changes."
After the call ended, Shi Moyun, who was standing next to her, asked curiously, "Mobile phone? How does a phone move? There's no wire, so how does the signal reach the phone?"
He looked incredulous and even ran over to the phone, tugged at the connection cable, and gestured to Fan Xiaofan.
Fan Xiaofan blinked and said, "Vice Dean, you are the vice dean of our research institute, you must have a lot of imagination and creativity..."
With a heavy expression, she reached out and patted Shi Moyun's shoulder, then spoke in a serious tone.
Shi Moyun: "I..."
Fan Xiaofan continued, "Could you have imagined that you could hear the voice on the other side just because of a single thread?"
