“Knock knock knock…”
The knocks on the door continued, and could be heard clearly through the door.
"Goudan, go open the door."
"Ding ding." Goudan sensed someone outside the door and said nothing. After a few beeps, he turned around, opened the door of the laboratory and walked out. He opened the door of the room again and saw Haonan and Tian Shangguo outside, as well as Yan Lao's guard.
The three men had their hands full of things and were carrying large black cloth bags on their shoulders.
"Goudan, the things Comrade Zhong wanted have arrived. Comrade Zhong asked us to bring them up earlier."
It wasn't the first time that Mr. Yan's guards had seen Goudan, but they couldn't help but take a few more glances. "A robot! What a rare thing! Only Comrade Zhong has one, and there's another one at the research institute that they can't see."
Goudan didn't give way and blocked the door.
Zhong Yuxiu strode over. Haonan said, "Comrade Zhong, the things have been delivered. Where are they?"
"Leave it where it is."
"Okay." The three put their things down, and Haonan said, "Comrade Zhong, you're busy, we'll go downstairs."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
After the three people left, Goudan closed the door and moved the things on the floor into the laboratory.
"Master, everything has been moved in. Do you want to open it?"
"Open it. Let me check the quality first and see if the parts meet the standards." Zhong Yuxiu walked forward and opened the packages with Goudan. It took more than twenty minutes to open them one by one and count them.
Among them were computer parts, various tools, casings and parts for monitoring equipment, and some network cables; manufactured according to her drawings, although not everything inside met her standards, they were almost there, which shows how inquisitive people of this era were.
With just a drawing, they can make it for you.
"Goudan, although our technology is still behind, it will be better in the future." With those people who have a first-class spirit of research, the future is not far away.
"It will definitely be better if the master is here."
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, "You're the only one who can talk. Now that I have the iron, you assemble the computer for me. I'll take care of the chips and motherboard."
"No problem, Master."
A man and a robot started working, a black curtain was drawn outside the window, and the door was knocked again.
"Who is it?" Zhong Yuxiu was in high spirits and was suddenly interrupted, feeling unhappy.
Goudan whispered, "It's Tian Shangguo."
"Oh my god, how could I forget about this?" Zhong Yuxiu hurriedly stood up, her legs gave way and she almost fell. Goudan helped her up, "Master, be careful. Stand up slowly after squatting for a long time."
"Got it, got it." Not caring about the pile of things on the ground, Zhong Yuxiu stood up and walked out, giving instructions as she walked, "Goudan, you continue, I'll come back and check."
Goudan's phone beeped a few times as a response; someone was outside and the owner had left the laboratory, so it couldn't speak loudly.
Zhong Yuxiu opened the door and said apologetically, "Thank you, Comrade Tian, for reminding me. I almost forgot the time."
"Comrade Zhong, do we want to leave now or wait a while?" Tian Shangguo asked.
"Let's go now. I don't need anything." He walked out of the room, closed the door, and hurried downstairs past Tian Shangguo.
Tian Shangguo followed closely behind, and the two of them went downstairs one after the other. Haonan turned his head and said, "Comrade Zhong, you've been so busy that you've forgotten the time, haven't you?"
"That's true." Zhong Yuxiu chuckled. "Let's go. When we get to school, we have to go to the office to get our lesson planner."
"OK."
The two followed Zhong Yuxiu out of the door, and Tian Shangguo closed and locked the door.
The group of three was in a hurry, and the family members who were walking in the compound just looked at them curiously when they saw them; everyone living in the compound understood one thing: don't look at what you shouldn't look at, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't interfere in what you shouldn't interfere in.
Zhong Yuxiu hadn't visited her neighbors since moving in, partly because she was busy, and partly because she simply didn't have the heart to. Everyone knew a young woman named Zhong had arrived at the compound, enjoying enviable treatment. The staff would warn their families not to mess with the newcomer, saying they couldn't afford to offend.
The Yan family is behind him, and the higher-ups take him very seriously.
For various reasons, Zhong Yuxiu's life was peaceful and ordinary, which was what she wanted most; now that it had come true, how could she change it?
After leaving the compound, night had completely fallen. The lights on the streets were dim, and there was even no light in some corners.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo became more alert. In the dark night, two pairs of eyes scanned in all directions, observing every corner with the help of the dim light.
Zhong Yuxiu hurried along, remaining silent about their vigilance. She finally said, "Wait for me at the gate, okay? I'll be out of the cold wind there. I'll be out after class."
"We'll follow you in... There's someone there!"
The two men took a step in the same direction, invisibly protecting Zhong Yuxiu behind them; a figure came quickly and was stopped by Haonan and the others.
"Yuxiu, it's me, big brother."
"Wan Yuning." Zhong Yuxiu frowned and said, "Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, there's no need to hug him. He's Wan Yuning from the Wan family. He must have something to ask me."
Wan Yuning was tall but thin, very different from the original owner's memory. He looked about ten years older. It seemed that he had suffered a lot after being demoted, otherwise he would not have been tortured like this.
"Yes." Haonan and Tian Shangguo let go of their hands and took half a step away, but did not retreat.
Wan Yuning walked past the two of them and stood in front of Zhong Yuxiu, smiling, "Little sister, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since we last met, Comrade Wan Yuning." Zhong Yuxiu responded indifferently.
"Little sister, I should have come to see you during the day, but Dad was sick and in the hospital, so I had to come to see you when he was asleep. I thought I could only see you after school." Wan Yuning's eyes were full of joy.
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, "Really?"
"It's true, little sister. Dad missed you very much. He came to look for you, but when he came back he heard about Wan Yutong's situation and got so angry that he became sick." Wan Yuning felt angry and indignant towards his own sister, and was also sad about the cold attitude of this sister whom he had been with for more than ten years.
"He asked you to come?"
Wan Yuning nodded. "Dad didn't ask me to come. I wanted to come. We were forced to send you to the countryside. If we didn't send you away, Dad and I would be afraid that Wan Yutong would become more paranoid and hurt you."
"There's no need to say all this. We're all clear now. I still have the letter of separation you gave me." Trying to impress her with deception and emotional appeal? Forget it.
"I was wrong about the letter of severance," Wan Yuning readily admitted. "Wan Yutong watched me write it."
Zhong Yuxiu waved her hand. "What do you want to talk to me about? If nothing, I still have to go to class. I don't have the patience to cooperate with you in performing a brotherly and sisterly show."
Wan Yuning frowned slightly and looked at her deeply.
"Little sister, you..." Why have you changed so much? I was not like this before.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhong Yuxiu asked again.
