Chapter 37 Noise
Noise: Random signal fluctuations present in a circuit that interfere with the transmission or processing of normal signals.
As soon as the topic of skiing ended, Fu Guanshan buried his head in eating. He was so quiet that Meng Chu became uneasy and went home early in the evening.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Fu Guanshan sitting on the sofa with a melancholy look on his face, holding his magic wand horizontally and changing the channels one by one.
It's over, the baby is broken.
He carefully sat down next to him and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Fu Guanshan stopped his gesture and said sadly, "I still haven't found it."
Meng Chu froze and almost laughed, but held it back. "'Photolithography machine' refers to equipment for making chips, 'Thousand Citations' refers to papers written that have been cited more than a thousand times, and 'Digital Institute' refers to military-industrial enterprises represented by numbers."
Fu Guanshan turned his head slowly: "Oh, it's not that complicated."
"yes."
His handsome face was covered with even deeper sadness: "It's not very complicated. I don't understand it."
Meng Chu was a little at a loss. After thinking for a long time, he could only raise his hand and touch the strong back.
"So this is how you communicate with other engineers," Fu Guanshan said with his chin propped up, "so smooth."
Meng Chu was still confused: "Well... our research directions are quite similar..."
"The people around you are so smart." To be honest, during that lunch, he felt like an ape running into human territory. "I can't chat with you like them."
Meng Chu was very shocked. Fu Guanshan actually feels that he has shortcomings?
And...he just realized it now?
"But you are good-looking," Meng Chu said, "Everyone around you is better-looking than me, so I should be worried."
Fu Guanshan put down his hand that was supporting his chin and looked at him in surprise: "Why do you think so? I will grow old, but your knowledge will not."
Meng Chu didn't expect this answer. He thought for a long time and smiled. “There are a lot of people in the world who understand those terms,” he said, “but there’s only one person who understands me.”
Fu Guanshan looked at him. If it were a comic, those eyes would have burst into hundreds of hearts. After a while, he stretched out his hand: "Give me the homework."
"What?"
"You are always fully prepared for anything you do," Fu Guanshan said, "You must have thoroughly checked the vice president and the minister. Give me their information."
"What are you going to do?"
"Let me show you how good a top-tier actor is at memorizing lines."
The indoor ski resort in the eastern suburbs is very famous. There is a resort hotel and a forest park next to the ski resort, which is a great place for a weekend trip.
Meng Chu was originally uneasy about this meeting until Fu Guanshan took out his cool snowboard.
Oh, this guy is really good at skating.
At the entrance of the venue, they met Wei Qian's immediate superior, the director of the R&D department, and the vice president in charge of planning and operations.
As usual, the two became very interested in the combination of Guan Shan and Meng Chu and asked them how they knew each other.
Meng Chu thought Fu Guanshan was going to start the love at first sight story again, and then Fu Guanshan said: "My aunt is doing EUV lithography research. I have always been interested in the wafer manufacturing process. When I visited the laboratory, I happened to meet him."
Three strangers, and his partner of half a year, fell silent at the same time.
After a while, the minister spoke first. "Really?" He looked at his boss. "EUV lithography is very close to our CEO Zhou's research direction."
Fu Guanshan said with admiration: "I have heard from my aunt before that Mr. Zhou is the pioneer of the domestic photomask industry chain. It is because of Mr. Zhou's foresight that we can achieve mass production of 250nm masks so quickly."
The other party was surprised for a moment, then waved his hand: "Well, it's just a ride on the '02 Project'."
In fact, as long as the other party asks "What is the mask", Fu Guanshan's aura will collapse completely. However, his expression was so calm that the conversation went on smoothly.
After he dug into and praised all the details of their careers with great curiosity and admiration, Meng Chu took the opportunity to talk about his own research.
"I heard from Xiao Wei a few days ago that this plan is quite interesting," said Wei Qian's boss, "but we need to make a budget estimate. If it is suitable, we must contact Teacher Meng as soon as possible."
Meng Chu agreed and breathed a sigh of relief. From the moment he entered this social occasion, his whole body was tense like a fully drawn bowstring. Regardless of the final outcome, he has completed the social task that he had not dared to do before. At least from now on, he can relax a little.
Several people took the cable car and headed to the top of the snow slope. Fu Guanshan did a 180° turn from the small platform. The two middle-aged leaders sighed that young people are still strong.
Vice President Zhou saw Meng Chu standing there, so he asked, "Does Mr. Meng go skiing often?"
Meng Chu hesitated for a moment, and just as Fu Guanshan was about to give him a smooth answer, he said, "I ski a few times every winter, but I'm only a beginner. My movements are not standard, and I'm sure you two will laugh at me."
"We're not going to the Olympics," Wei Qian's boss said. "We're just having fun. Just have fun."
Meng Chu smiled apologetically, and then slid down in front of everyone's eyes.
The moment he dived, Fu Guanshan's heart sank, and he instinctively wanted to hold him back. This guy's athletic ability...
Before he could finish his thought, Meng Chu had already clumsily drawn an arc to the left and stopped at the bottom of the slope. The movements aren't graceful, but they're obviously possible.
Several people gave a grand speech on adjusting their focus, and then went skiing on familiar slopes.
Fu Guanshan held the snowboard and looked at Meng Chu.
"What's wrong?" Meng Chu asked.
"When did you learn to ski?" Fu Guanshan said, "When you were a child, your family didn't go to the ski resort. After you went to college, you rarely even left the school gate..."
"High school," Meng Chu said, "my brother taught me."
Fu Guanshan's eyes became more and more puzzled.
“Those aren’t good memories.”
It was a date designed to woo his brother.
When he fell for the hundredth time and finally concluded that he was not cut out for skiing, Meng Jining turned and stopped beside him.
Life is so unfair. Every time he sees Meng Jining's bright and beautiful side, but in Meng Jining's eyes, he is always frustrated, gray and inconspicuous.
"Brother, are you okay?" Meng Jining stretched out his hand to him.
He didn't take it. His self-esteem didn't allow him to accept Meng Jining's help, but the damn ski boot buckle was stuck again.
Meng Jining squatted down, unbuckled his clothes, and before he could react, he grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
Meng Chu brushed the snow off his body and was depressed to find that Meng Jining didn't seem to be planning to leave.
"Don't you have a date?" Meng Chu asked.
"What date? I didn't come here for him," Meng Jining blinked, "I came here because he said you would come."
Meng Chu was stunned and looked at him puzzledly: "Why?"
"Usually when I ask you to hang out, you always have too many papers to finish," Meng Jining said, "You will only agree when dad intervenes, but you're reluctant at that time."
Now he is not very willing. He had just been dumped by the first scandal girl in his life, and the other party approached him entirely for Meng Jining.
This is so embarrassing.
Meng Chu thought that this person might be used to it, used to everyone liking him and being willing to be with him. He couldn't even understand why Meng Chu avoided him.
He did not understand himself, nor did he know what an embarrassing jealousy he felt towards him.
"I'd better go back first," Meng Chu said, "I don't know how to ski."
He was holding his skis and walking towards the place where he returned his equipment. Meng Jining caught up with him. "Come on," he said, "I'll teach you."
Meng Chu didn't want things to turn out like this: "No need."
"Isn't there a coach teaching skiing over there?" Meng Jining pointed to a few red dots on the slope in the distance. "I went to listen for a while and practiced with him. I think I can teach you. Let's try again."
He really didn't want Meng Jining to teach him anything, because that would mean he would have to admit that the other party was better than him in some way. There have been too many such failures so far.
But Meng Jining began to show his perseverance - he would always try his best to get what he wanted. The experiences he had gained since childhood told him that he had the confidence to compete and that he would always win.
This time is no exception.
Meng Chu stayed anyway, and Meng Jining used the second-hand teaching he had heard to slowly adjust his movements.
In order to maintain his dignity in front of his brother, he memorized the key points as quickly as possible.
By the end of the day, the results were so impressive that he was able to slide down the ramp smoothly.
Fu Guanshan had a serious look on his face as he listened to the past events. After Meng Chu finished speaking, he stared at him thoughtfully.
Meng Chu was frightened by his stare. He raised his hand to put down his ski goggles to block his moist and affectionate eyes: "What's wrong?"
Fu Guanshan smacked his lips and said, "The relationship between you two brothers is not as good as I thought, but also not as bad as I thought."
Meng Chu frowned, as if he disagreed with this statement.
Fu Guanshan stared at him through the lens: "After we got married, our two families had a dinner together. You kept looking at the corridor. Weren't you waiting for him?"
"I wasn't looking forward to his coming." Meng Chu said.
This is the truth. Because once Meng Jining arrives, the eyes of his father and relatives will be on him. It turns out that even if he doesn't come, he can still be regarded as the hidden protagonist.
Not to mention, he was actually secretly worried that Fu Guanshan would like his younger brother after he appeared.
It's not necessarily the kind of liking that's called love. Because of admiration, compatibility, wanting to be close and understand, it is also love.
He knew that Meng Jining had that kind of charm.
Although he had not fallen in love with Fu Guanshan at that time, the other party was his partner in the legal sense, and he did not want the only person in the world who had an exclusive agreement with him to also like Meng Jining.
"But you still feel that he will come, even if he says he is busy," Fu Guanshan said, "because he has never missed the important moments in your life."
Meng Chu was silent for a long time, and finally admitted reluctantly: "Yes."
The school's coming-of-age ceremony, graduation ceremony, even the sports meet that made him look bad.
As if in response to the flow of past events, Wei Qian slid down the middle slope and stopped in front of them.
"What are you talking about?" Wei Qian asked.
As soon as Fu Guanshan saw him, he became playful: "We were just talking about my wife's brother. I remember you also know Meng Jining, right?"
Wei Qian looked a little embarrassed: "Yeah, that's right..."
Fu Guanshan continued to exaggerate, gloating: "I heard from Meng Chu that you two went skiing together?"
“Oh, don’t mention it.” Wei Qian waved his hand. “He scolded me back then.”
Meng Chu frowned: "Scold you?"
This was obviously not a pleasant experience, so Wei Qian just said vaguely: "Anyway, he spent five minutes proving that I was a complete jerk, and then he ran away."
Meng Chu looked at his colorful expression and remembered that after that day, he never came to see her again. Maybe it was not because she was no longer useful, but because every time he saw her, he would think of this equally embarrassing scene - being scolded by the person he liked.
Wei Qian adjusted his sunglasses and glanced at Meng Chu: "Well...is your brother okay now?"
"He's very busy at work," Meng Chu looked at him warily. He wondered if he still had feelings for him. "I haven't contacted him for a long time."
"Oh, okay. If you see him, say hello to him for me." Wei Qian said this and hurried back to the cable car. It seemed like just a polite remark.
Some things in the world are very strange, as if there are invisible threads that connect cause and effect in the dark. As soon as this conversation ended, Meng Chu's phone vibrated.
He took it out and saw a new message:
Long time no see, brother, I'm here in Lincheng.
The author has something to say:
The sub-CP line will start in the next chapter. It will have little impact on the main CP emotional line, but it will have an impact on the main plot line.
And the younger brother is the bottom (the top has not appeared yet).
Therefore, in the future, for chapters that are mainly from the perspective of the secondary CP, I will directly start with "Appendix", and you can skip it if you want.
PS: Don’t worry, the author will not be hurt by anyone saying “abandon the article” or “don’t like it” (nor will he change the article because of any opinions). Since the article has been published, it is assumed that it needs to accept everyone's comments, and the author is mentally prepared. What I am more worried about is that after someone says they don’t like the book, the readers who like the book will feel unfair and start arguing - it’s normal for everyone to have different ideas, so everyone should just focus on the parts they like and read the article in a friendly manner, and just pretend not to have seen different opinions.
