Chapter 127 Extra 7
Qi Nian's leisurely days did not last long.
He spent almost the entire summer hanging out with Chu Rongshi, and until graduate school started, he became busy.
However, as a junior fellow apprentice, Qi Nian did not participate in any projects. Most of his daily work was reading all kinds of boring materials.
Every time when looking at these materials, Qi Nian would think of Lu Ze. After graduation, Lu Ze did not choose to continue his postgraduate studies, but instead focused all his energy on the company. Otherwise, it would have been easy for him to apply for admission to graduate school.
In the past, with Lu Ze's help in answering his questions, Qi Nian would have found it much easier, but of course he could also read all the information by himself, just a little slower.
Qi Nian was frowning as he was looking at the information. A senior who was more familiar with him walked in. He took one look at Qi Nian wearing the mask of pain and couldn't help but laugh: "How is it? It must be painful to read this, right?"
Qi Nian's train of thought was interrupted. He turned around and gave his senior brother a bitter smile.
The senior brother's name is Hua Liang, two years older than Qinian. However, people would believe that he is almost thirty years old based on his appearance. It's not that he looks old, but the sparse hair on his head is particularly conspicuous on his not-so-young face.
To be honest, when Qi Nian first saw the other person, he thought he was a doctoral student under his supervisor. However, after the supervisor introduced him, he found out that he was only 23 years old. Qi Nian couldn't help but feel guilty for his thoughts at the time.
By the way, what was Hua Liang's reaction at that time? He was sitting at the table typing code, and then with huge dark circles under his eyes, he raised his head from the computer desk full of messy data and gave Qi Nian a miserable smile: "New junior brother, you have so much hair."
To be honest, Qi Nian heard a strong sense of envy from those few simple words.
Hua Liang added: "Oh, curly hair is better, it looks more shiny."
Tutor Wu Caisi was originally smiling. He only had one graduate student, Hua Liang. Of course, it was not that no one was willing to work under him, but he simply looked down upon those people.
This year, the school forced him to supervise another graduate student. Wu Caisi was reluctant and had a big argument with the principal.
The principal, that brat, actually cares about him. He is simply rebelling against the heavens!
However, in the end, the principal was still very firm this time. He said that this indicator could not be cancelled no matter what. However, the other party's attitude softened a little and agreed to let him take a look first.
Wu Caisi saw that there was no way out of this matter, and the principal was just trying to give him an excuse to step down. Wu Caisi was not stupid, so he finally extorted some money from the principal for equipment fees before leaving "reluctantly".
However, Wu Caisi is not very good at choosing a graduate student to lead the class. He is extremely busy every day and does not have the energy to lead another one.
Of course, Hua Liang could be allowed to take charge at the beginning, but they recently took on a project and Hua Liang was in a trance all day long, and Wu Caisi, this Zhou Bapi, felt embarrassed.
But graduate students still have to be selected. There are no bad students in Peking University, but Wu Caisi is still picky. Until he saw Qi Nian, his eyes lit up.
In addition to the other party's excellent academic performance, what caught his eye even more was his appearance. He didn't look like someone who studied computer science at all.
Well... other professors' students are all young and energetic, but he only has Hua Liang, who is lifeless all day long. He really needs some fresh blood.
Therefore, Wu Caisi happily decided: "Let's just go with this idea!"
Wu Caisi had high hopes for Qi Nian. Now, seeing Qi Nian looking like he was about to die after seeing Hua Liang, he immediately became alarmed, fearing that he might scare him away. He quickly coughed and said, "Ah...your senior brother has been working too hard recently. I told him not to stay up all night, but it looks like he stayed up all night again yesterday."
Hua Liang came back to his senses and looked at his professor with a speechless look: "I stayed up late because of you..."
Wu Caisi glanced at him, and Hua Liang immediately shut up. He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, okay, you're so tired, don't stay in the lab all day. Go back and rest today."
Hua Liang's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he stood up suddenly: "Really? Teacher, you finally behaved like a human being. I'm going to go back to sleep first. Don't say that I didn't work hard. It was you who asked me to rest. Let's go."
Before Wu Caisi could react, Hua Liang had already disappeared from their sight with a "whoosh".
Everyone thought: "..."
Wu Caisi: “…”
He coughed awkwardly and cursed Hua Liang from beginning to end in his heart. Really, this kid must have become stupid from staying up late. He is usually quite smart, but why did he act like a fool just now? If he scared away this young and energetic sapling of his, he would never let this brat off!
Thinking of this, Wu Caisi smiled gently: "It's okay, don't pay attention to him. That was your senior brother Hua Liang just now. If you have any questions in the future, just ask him. I'll send you his WeChat later."
Qi Nian nodded obediently and watched Wu Caisi walk away with his hands behind his back, humming a song. For some reason he felt like he had jumped into a fire pit.
When Qi Nian returned home that day, he complained about this to Chu Rongshi.
He lay on the sofa, Chu Rongshi sat beside him and listened. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qi Nian reached out and poked him: "Why don't you say anything?"
Chu Rongshi's eyes fell on Qi Nian's dense and curly hair and said, "You must take good care of your hair in the future."
Qi Nian: "..." Why did he suddenly feel his scalp a little cold?
He glared at Chu Rongshi, and then asked a childish question: "If I become bald one day, would you think I'm ugly?"
Chu Rongshi suppressed his laughter and asked: "What kind of baldness?"
Everyone thought: "..."
He sat up suddenly, stared at Chu Rongshi fiercely, and pointed at him: "How could you do this!"
Chu Rongshi reached out and pinched his cheek: "What's wrong with me?"
Qi Nian shook off his hand, blushing and saying unhappily: "Shouldn't you say, would you like me even if I was bald? Why did you ask what kind of baldness? Would you dislike me if I was bald?"
"Baby." Chu Rongshi suddenly said seriously: "If it's a bald head, we'd better not have hair anymore."
Everyone thought: "..."
He wanted to refute Chu Rongshi's words, but... the Mediterranean hair is an evil thing. No matter how good-looking one is, he can't support this hairstyle.
No, no, how could he be led astray by Chu Rongshi?
He glanced at Chu Rongshi's face and couldn't help imagining what his bald face looked like. Then, he chuckled out loud.
Chu Rongshi pinched his chin, frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Qi Nian laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and he couldn't speak for a long time. When he finally laughed enough, he panted and pleaded, "I'm sorry, I think you're right. If you become bald one day, you should shave your head."
Well... Chu Rongshi should look quite handsome with a bald head.
But the Mediterranean is really... Although Chu Rongshi’s looks make him definitely not ugly, it’s really funny!
Chu Rongshi: “…”
He held Qi Nian's hairy head and said sternly, "Don't think about it."
Qi Nian laughed: "But I can't control it."
Chu Rongshi thought that he should not discuss these strange topics with Qi Nian in the future.
——
No matter what, he had to go to graduate school with such great difficulty, so Qi Nian followed Hua Liang.
Maybe because he often has to supervise projects, Qi Nian can see Wu Caisi very often. However, this frequency is only compared with other graduate student supervisors.
In fact, Qi Nian only saw each other every few days.
On this day, a man in his thirties came to the laboratory. Qi Nian was still concentrating on reading his materials. He had almost finished reading these materials and would soon follow Hua Liang to slowly understand the project.
When he heard someone entering the laboratory, he thought it was Hua Liang. It was not until the other party spoke that Qi Nian looked up and found that it was a strange man.
Qi Nian was a little confused. After all, although their place was not like some laboratories that carried a certain degree of danger, it also contained important information and rarely allowed others to enter.
However, seeing that the other party seemed familiar with the place, Qi Nian's original words of persuading the other party to leave became a little hesitant.
When it came to my mouth, it became: "Who are you looking for?"
"You are Professor Wu's new graduate student, right?" The other party was obviously familiar with the situation and said, "I'm looking for Hua Liang."
Qi Nian thought that it was a good thing that he didn't just ask the person to leave. The other party was obviously very familiar with Hua Liang and even Professor Wu: "Wait a moment, Senior Brother should be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Liang hurriedly came in with a stack of documents. When he saw the man, he immediately said, "Brother, why did you come here specially? I was just about to go and deliver something to you."
The man called Senior Brother said, "I just happened to be passing by the school and came to pick it up."
Hua Liang nodded when he heard this and immediately took out the things and gave them to him.
The man thanked him and turned away.
Qi Nian looked at the other person's back, feeling a little curious. Hua Liang finally became a senior, so he was quite curious. He walked up to Qi Nian with his hands behind his back and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Qi Nian came back to his senses and shook his head: "I'm just curious, didn't you say that you are the only graduate student in your department?"
"Indeed, I am the only one. The one just now was the doctoral student supervised by my previous teacher, but he has already completed his doctorate." After all, Hua Liang had been with Wu Caisi for two years, so he knew it very well.
Seeing Qi Nian nodded and not wanting to ask any more questions, he coughed and said, "Actually, Xing Bosen, the one just mentioned, has another identity. Do you know what it is?"
Qi Nian's curiosity immediately pricked up, and he looked at Hua Liang immediately: "What's your identity?"
Hua Liang chuckled and said, "In fact, he is the teacher's son-in-law!"
Qi Nian was a little surprised. He was now very familiar with Hua Liang. Looking at Hua Liang's expression, he asked curiously, "Brother, why do I feel that you don't like him very much?"
Hua Liang didn't expect Qi Nian to be so sensitive. He immediately covered up his expression and said, "No, he and I don't come into contact with each other very often. How can there be any like or dislike?"
Hua Liang said this, but it was probably obvious that he was concerned about the other person's identity and didn't dare to say much.
Qi Nian was a little curious. He had been with Hua Liang for such a long time and found that he was a good-tempered person. Even if there were people he disliked, he would simply avoid contact with them and had never shown such clear disgust.
So why does Hua Liang hate Xing Bosen so much?
