Lv Bei deeply regretted not studying mathematics properly before.
"I understand," Lv Bei nodded and quickly responded, "Starting tomorrow, I guarantee this place will be spotlessly clean."
Qiao Ze silently watched Lv Bei, not saying another word.
Fortunately, at this mont, Lv Bei suddenly realized, Qiao Ze had been referring to his presence.
"No, no, no, it doesn't matter whether this place is touched or not. I guarantee that after today, your ho will be cleaned spotlessly, without a speck of dust."
"Oh," Qiao Ze then nodded and replied with a sound of agreent.
Lv Bei breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why Qiao Ze had had no reaction to the various surveillance devices installed in the office for half a month, yet suddenly had such a demand today.
Luckily, he was quick-witted enough.
If they had really let Du, the blockhead who got kicked by a donkey, handle the talk, it's likely that this job would have been handed over to another departnt in the future.
Qiao Ze couldn't care less about how many trinkets were placed in the office.
The guy surely had ways to let them hear or see what he wanted them to know; they just had to maintain an understanding.
But he was not often at ho.
It was all because of that damn stupid Du, who always liked to co up with bad ideas, resulting in so many ssy situations.
Originally, he felt that he had a good understanding with Qiao Ze...
"That, actually, this wasn't my idea." Although this sounded like passing the buck, Lv Bei couldn't help but say it.
"I know," Qiao Ze nodded.
Then he shifted his gaze from Lv Bei to the computer screen.
Alright, Lv Bei knew this ant Qiao Ze didn't plan to waste any more words on him.
Honestly, Qiao Ze had already spoken more to him today than the total amount of ti they had spent in the sa building for such a long period. He should be content.
Contrarily, he still had a task...
"That..."
Lv Bei hesitated to speak, but before he could finish, Qiao Ze interrupted him.
"The model issue?"
"Uh... yes, our director ant to ask if you need to send this model for testing at the research institute, we could... um..."
As he saw Qiao Ze looking up at him again, the words "provide assistance" just couldn't co out of his mouth, so he changed them to: "Actually, this wasn't my idea either."
"Oh. I'll send a test code to the Xilin University of Technology's Material Structure Characterization and Performance Analysis Research Center today. Let them test it first," Qiao Ze casually said.
"Alright, got it, I'll leave you to it," Lv Bei imdiately nodded emphatically.
"Mm," Qiao Ze nodded back, not bothering with him anymore.
"That, Su, I'll be leaving first," Lv Bei then said to Su Mucheng, who was beside him tending the flowers.
"Oh, Captain Lv, go ahead with your work. This favor I owe you, pass it on to Ying; rember to give her a promotion and a raise, or I won't deal with this kind of thing for you next ti," she said.
"Uh, sure, no problem," Lv Bei was stimulated again.
These two...
Are they gods or sothing? So frank and direct in asking for a favor from soone close by?
Damn it, Lv Bei suddenly wanted to change directors.
...
Xilin University of Technology, Material Structure Characterization and Performance Analysis Research Center.
Upon receiving that phone call from Luo Benyuan, Xu Zhengxing's good mood suddenly turned sour.
What the hell?
How co the career he had devoted his entire life to suddenly had no future?
The most infuriating part was Luo Benyuan hanging up after saying those words, and then refusing to take his calls!
Playing guessing gas with him over here.
If it weren't for so urgent matters he needed to handle, he would have imdiately gone next door to the lab to find that guy and give him a good scolding.
Luo probably forgot how humbly he begged him to test materials when he was working on the unmanned diving device project.
He absolutely had to remind Luo of that humiliation tonight.
However, just as he finished up the matter at hand and was about to leave, the center suddenly notified him to attend a temporary ergency eting.
All these annoying issues really piled up on one day.
When he arrived at the eting room, he found that today's eting wasn't a full staff assembly; only three researchers, with the sa professional title as himself, had received the notification.
The person chairing the eting hadn't arrived yet, so the three of them started to chat idly.
"Xu, do you know what the rush is for calling us so late today?"
"I rushed over just like you did after getting the notice. How could I know?"
"Ah, no need to guess, it's definitely another classified research task," another said.
"Isn't that obvious? Out of the whole center, only we three have been involved in classified research, and they only summoned us three today," Xu Zhengxing bluntly rebuffed his colleague, not in the best of moods.
But after rebuffing his colleague, his mood did improve sowhat.
Unfortunately, he couldn't share about the classified tasks!
Otherwise, he would have loved to shout to Luo Benyuan that he was soone capable of receiving high-level classified research tasks – who the hell did he say was useless?!
However, before he could finish his imaginary triumph, the door to the small conference room was suddenly pushed open, and to his surprise, the very person he was dwelling on walked in following Zuo Chengzheng.
Xu Zhengxing blinked his eyes; nope, he wasn't hallucinating – it was Luo Benyuan!
He just looked a bit dispirited, as if he had suffered so kind of blow.
Just weird.
What classified task also involved him?
Could it be that the project Qiao had fought for had selected Luo? But that didn't seem right either. Hadn't Luo adamantly voted against it?
And in terms of timing, it wouldn't have co around so swiftly, right?
But it was good anyway; after the eting, he would ask Luo exactly what he ant.
