Chapter 9 Roommate Uncle
Chapter 9
Mineng Technology, which came to Yunjia University for recruitment today, is a subsidiary of Juling Group, a Fortune 500 listed company, founded in City A. Mineng Technology's product development direction is to integrate artificial intelligence into various medical assistive devices, such as helping customers on the verge of blindness to replace intelligent simulated electronic eyeballs, establish connections between chips and human nerves, and intelligently regulate the brain's optic nerves to help patients see the world again.
Backed by a large group, Mi Neng Technology has launched the best-selling simulated electronic eyeballs. Although it has only been established for one year, it has become a dark horse in the industry and its development momentum cannot be underestimated.
How artificial intelligence can better assist the disabled and help them live independently is Wenxi's research direction. Although Wenxi does not plan to work in a technology company, he also chose to attend the campus recruitment seminar of Mineng Technology. One of the reasons is that the concept on the company's promotional poster is consistent with his life goal - intelligent machines make up for human defects and technology benefits the future.
There were many people present, and Wen Xi sat in the middle of the venue by the window. His phone was set to silent and vibrate mode and placed in his coat pocket. The tiny vibration of the incoming message was transmitted to his heart.
Buzz buzz buzz.
His heart suddenly trembled, and Wen Xi took out his mobile phone. There were continuous pop-ups of messages from the discount group owner @ group members rushing to buy. Wen Xi quickly browsed through the group messages, confirmed that there was no product he needed, and cleared the group messages to save mobile phone memory.
The host on the stage was still introducing the content of the school recruitment exam. Wen Xi turned his head to look at Sui Ning, who was listening attentively. Wen Xi retracted his gaze, leaned against the chair, and leaned towards the window, keeping a posture that would not be seen by the screen and would not be considered as hiding from people. He lowered his eyes and clicked on the chat box of Yanjue.
Wen Xi patted Yan Jue’s profile picture.
Wen Xi looked at her one-sided message and pursed her lips. She didn't reply to the message for a whole day. Yan Jue was a bad man who didn't take the initiative.
As a result, just as I finished complaining in my mind, “the other party is typing” appeared in my sight.
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, then blinked helplessly, thinking that even his secret complaints could be felt.
[Y.]: Sorry, I was busy with work and didn’t have time to check the news.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: It’s okay, brother, let’s get busy with work first.
[Y.]: Aren’t you angry that I replied late?
Wen Xi was stunned. What was there to be angry about? However, since Yan Jue asked this, what answer did he want to hear?
Sui Ning lowered his head to look for his phone and caught a glimpse of Wen Xi out of the corner of his eye. The young man was holding the phone and seemed to be chatting. The white light above his head cast a shadow on Wen Xi's eyes through his long eyelashes. The corners of his lips were slightly tense and his emotion could not be seen.
[The stream becomes the sea]: Lifeless.
Wen Xi decided to tell the truth. She saw the message she had sent out of the corner of her eye. She paused typing, “I’ll be sad if you don’t reply to this message.”
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Just... a little sad.
[The stream becomes the sea]: I’m afraid my brother will forget me.
Although he knew Yan Jue was very busy at work, Wen Xi still felt a little uncomfortable every time he turned on his phone and there was no message. He felt like a kite flying in the air with no way to land, and was afraid that someone would cut the string and abandon him. Especially since this string was the golden thread that Wen Xi had fought so hard to get.
Yan Jue replied very quickly this time.
[Y.]: Sorry, next time I will let you know my working hours in advance.
The system prompted that Yan Jue patted him. Was this a consolation? Wen Xi blinked. He didn’t expect Yan Jue to apologize for replying to him late.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Then I’ll remember it.
[The stream becomes the sea]: [The little yellow bear clenched his fist and said seriously: I really bear grudges.]
[Y.]: Yeah.
[Y.]: Don’t lie to Piggy.
Wen Xi's face was tense and she was angry for a second, and her fists became stiff.
Not only does Yan Jue not send messages actively, but his skill in coaxing people is also so poor.
Who is the pig after all?

"The above is the full content of the recruitment presentation of Mineng Technology Co., Ltd. at Yunjia University. If you have other questions, you can ask them on site or add the company WeChat for consultation——"
The host's explanation on stage has reached the final stage.
Sui Ning put away the tablet, moved closer to Wen Xi and whispered, "Xixi, I'm leaving soon. I won't have dinner with you today."
"Are you going to take an exam?" Wen Xi looked at her and Sui Ning smiled shyly: "My boyfriend is on vacation and came to see me. We plan to go out and have some fun today."
Sui Ning's boyfriend is a military man in service. Wen Xi has met him a few times and knows that they are rarely together. She whispered, "No problem. Be safe when you're out there. Remember to say hello to him for me."
"Love you," Sui Ning asked casually, "What are you going to do tonight? Do you have a part-time job today?"
"Tonight?" Wen Xi looked down when his phone vibrated. It was Yan and Su in the dormitory WeChat group @ everyone to go out for dinner and team building. Wen Xi hadn't gotten together with his roommates for a while, and he didn't have any work arrangements tonight, so he said, "I don't have a part-time job, so I'm going out for dinner with my roommates."
Sui Ning nodded repeatedly: "You really need to have a good rest. God knows how worried I was about your sudden death some time ago. I stayed up so late every day."
Wen Xi smiled apologetically: "Don't worry, I'm more careful now."
After the campus recruitment briefing ended, Wenxi and Suining followed the crowd out and parted ways at the small flowerbed outside the complex building. Wenxi returned to the dormitory, where all three people were, with Ning Haoyu and Chen Qiao preening themselves in front of the dressing mirror.
Chen Qiao: "How is it?"
Wen Xi put down his schoolbag and said, "At Mineng Technology, we work four days a week and rest three days a week. The salary is good, but the company is small and the projects are heavy, so the pressure will be great. From what I have seen, there are more than a hundred people who have signed up for the exam."
"Oh my god, it's so hard to find a job these days," Chen Qiao wailed. "I'd better study hard for my master's degree and put off finding a job."
"Oh, you're back." Ning Haoyu quickly took out two T-shirts and compared them to let Wen Xi see which one would look more handsome and serious.
"Wenxi, which one do you think looks better?" Chen Qiao touched his chin and spoke in a slow tone, "I think they are both similar - equally ugly."
Ning Haoyu rolled his eyes and kicked him in the air: "Get lost, are you itching for a fight again? You deserve a beating."
Chen Qiao dodged with a playful smile: "Lululu."
Ning Haoyu, 182cm tall, handsome, a native of City A, has excellent grades, but a bad temper. His roommate Chen Qiao looks good, but he is naughty and likes to provoke Ning Haoyu. The two have been fighting every day since their freshman year.
Wen Xi was not surprised. She compared the two clothes carefully and gave a fair answer: "This black one, it looks more calm and mature."
Chen Qiao said, "You heard it, we all think you are not stable."
Ning Haoyu clicked his tongue, grabbed the man's arm and started to lock Chen Qiao's neck, and the two men started fighting again.
"You're back."
"Isn't this just a normal dinner party?" Wen Xi looked at Yan and Su coming out of the bathroom and asked in confusion: "Why did the two of them suddenly change clothes? Was there anyone else involved?"
Yan Hesu: "Oh, I forgot to tell you. There are not only four of us tonight, but also my uncle."
"Your uncle?" Wen Xi was stunned. She thought it might be a female classmate, and also thought it might be a tutor, but she never expected it to be Yan and Su's parent, and his uncle.
"Your family is having a dinner together, it's not a good idea for outsiders to go, right?" Wen Xi hesitated: "And did you tell your uncle in advance that you want us to have dinner together?"
"Of course he knows," Yan Hesu said with a somewhat annoyed expression, "I don't know who told my grandfather about me, and insisted that my uncle meet you, under the pretext of seeing if I, a restless person, have caused trouble for the people around me because of my relationship with a man."
"You're such a chatterbox," Yan Hesu's expression turned cold, and with his newly shaved head, he looked ruthless. "Don't let me catch him."
"Don't bother with them because it's all made up." Chen Qiao patted Yan and Su on the shoulders, "We know what to do tonight."
Yan and Su looked slightly relieved and nodded to show their understanding: "The age difference between him and me is not that big. When I was a child, I was brought to the old house and always played with him. Although we have not been in touch since my uncle went abroad, and we only meet during festivals, we are still in a relatively harmonious relationship."
"But he usually doesn't bother to pay attention to me. He was forced to do so by my grandfather. Since we want to have a team building, let's get together and go through the process. He will pay for the improved food."
"where?"
"Landscape residence."

Half past six.
Wenxi and his group arrived at Shanshuiju in advance, and under the guidance of the manager, they came to a luxurious private room with an antique style. There was a Shu embroidery screen at the entrance, separating the door from the inside.
Wen Xi was arranged to be the deputy guest of honor because of his best relationship with Yan Hesu, on the left side of the main seat. Before Yan Hesu's uncle arrived, they sat down first, drinking tea and chatting.
"Let's go watch the fireworks display tonight. It starts at nine o'clock. It will be at Jinghai Square nearby."
"Okay, let's go after we finish eating. We'll be able to catch the show in time."
"Wenxi, what about you?"
Wenxi suddenly remembered that he had tried to invite Yanjue to go yesterday, but Yanjue was too busy and refused. Although he said he would not go at that time, he changed his mind now. Wenxi nodded: "Okay."
Wen Xi thought about it, took out his phone and opened Yanjue's chat box.
[溪流成海]: Brother, have you eaten yet? Are you still working?
The banquet will be answered in seconds.
[Y.]: I have an appointment to have dinner with my family today.
[Y.]: What about you?
[溪流成海]: Not yet, I’m waiting for someone. I’m having dinner with my roommate’s family today.
[Y.]: Where?
Although he didn't know why he was asked this question, Wen Xi still answered it.
[The stream becomes the sea]: living in the mountains and waters.
Yan Jue did not reply to the message.
Ning Haoyu: "Why hasn't your uncle arrived yet?"
"Soon, I'll ask." Yan Hesu turned on his phone and said, "He's here."
After the message was sent, Wen Xi was stunned. A subtle possibility surfaced. It shouldn't be such a coincidence.
Wen Xi was just wondering if Yan Hesu's uncle was Yan Jue when there was a knock on the door of the private room. When she looked up again, the man had walked around the screen and entered her sight. The man was tall and slender, with a stern look. His eyebrows and eyes were similar to those of Yan Hesu, but his rare wolf eyes were long and deep, dark and heavy, and he looked at people coldly and distantly.
Yan and Su beside them had already stood up and introduced to them: "This is my uncle, Yan Jue."
"My roommates, Chen Qiao and Ning Haoyu."
After seeing Yanjue appear in the private room, Wen Xi realized that the "Yan" in roommate and the "Yan" in guest are the same word.
Wen Xi watched Yan Jue shake hands with Chen Qiao and Ning Haoyu one by one, and finally, walk towards him step by step.
"Yan Jue, my uncle." Yan Hesu introduced: "Uncle, this is my best friend, Wen Xi."
Wen Xi asked, smelling the familiar cool woody scent, and looked up into the pair of deep black eyes. Yan Jue's expression was very calm, as if he had expected to meet here from their conversation.
Yan Jue's eyes dropped down, and then he raised his eyebrows. Wen Xi looked at his phone screen, which still had a chat box between him and Yan Jue. There was even a pig emoji hanging on Yan Jue's note. He couldn't help but glance at Yan Hesu. The other party looked natural, obviously not noticing his phone screen. Wen Xi had never told anyone that he worked at the Ni Ye Club. He stood up and quietly locked his phone on the table.
Their eyes met, and Yan Jue extended his hand to shake it back.
"Nice to meet you, hello uncle, I'm Wenxi."
Under the warm yellow light, the boy's pale face was smiling faintly, his fox eyes were moist and bright, and the corners of his eyes were curled up. The back of his hand was accidentally scratched, and Yan Jue lowered his eyes.
"Feast decision."
