Tavel stood in front of me with the straight posture of a soldier, but there was an uneasy look on his face, and his voice did not sound as full of confidence and courage as usual. This researcher who is always full of energy and headlong rushed unexpectedly.
It was really surprising to be in such an embarrassment. I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that it turned out that when Sandora assigned the aftermath tasks of this incident, she had accurately detailed each part of the work.
As an individual, he alone did not assign tasks to Tavel, and even assigned some scientific research departments that Tavel should have been responsible for to other research groups.
In this case, it is no wonder that the girl with glasses in front of her is so uneasy: she may think that this is a punishment for screwing up, so she is naturally under a lot of pressure.
Of course, as a Xiling apostle, Tavel will not complain about any punishment imposed on himself. The orders from the superior individuals will be implemented 100%. This is the mission of the Xiling apostle. However, as a capable person
As an emotional "person", Tavel will still inevitably feel depressed, especially since this "punishment" still caused her to suspend her research project. For a scientist, there is nothing more terrifying than this. However, Tavel's uneasy performance
Although it is reasonable, it is still a little different from the ordinary Xiling apostles. In short, it is more humane. This is because Tavel is considered a half-new generation apostle, even though she came to the earth with Pandora, in
One of the last generation of apostles born in the old empire, but as a high-level individual, she grew up only after the establishment of the new empire. This caused Tavel to learn more about a richer individual in the process of contact with our family.
I don’t know what other people think about feelings, but I personally think this is a pretty good change.
"Just take a break for now."
I don’t know if Shandora really intends to “punish” Tavel, but I know that she is not actually angry because of the other party’s fault this time. As the person closest to Shandora, her emotional changes towards her lover
I still understand it very well. Although from the analysis of this accident, it can be said that Tavel's personal mistakes caused a considerable part of the huge loss suffered by the deep-diving ship wreckage. But as mentioned before, there is no certainty in this kind of situation.
No one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes in their projects, so Sandora probably has no intention of irritating Tavel. Instead, she may want to take this opportunity to let the latter take a break and relax the burden on his shoulders - of course
There is also a 50% chance that dinner time is approaching, and Her Majesty, who puts the core of our thinking and the stomach together, has already been ruled by the stomach, and then withdrew after a few sentences...
Well, based on the degree of spiritual connection between myself and Sandora, I think this possibility is so high?
"My subordinate just wants to..." Tavel said hastily, but before she could finish speaking, I waved my hand: "I know what you mean, don't worry, no one will let you leave your scientific research position, but you really
You need to rest. You said that the accident that happened to the deep-diving ship was due to your carelessness, but to be honest, no one in scientific research makes mistakes. You just happened to make one of the more serious ones. I think you are under pressure.
It's too big. It's countless times better for you to take a few days' rest as the top priority than for you to help with the funeral arrangements. Don't get excited yet. Think about it for yourself, how many quality projections have you activated in the past month?"
Tavel opened his mouth and revealed a number: "One hundred and twenty-five, thirty-seven research projects underway at the same time..."
This time it was my turn to be stunned: I just asked casually, but I didn’t expect Tavel to really say such an exciting thing! Darling, how many cores does this sister have in her brain...
"Okay, you can almost form a small army by yourself. Thirty-seven research projects, do you want to exhaust yourself to death?"
"My subordinates are a special tribe of apostles and have great advantages in parallel processing of data."
"There has to be a limit," I refrained from knocking a knife on the head of the lady in front of me. This movie is good for teaching a bunch of girls at home who haven't grown up or haven't grown up at all, but it's good for teaching a girl who has
The class teacher's temperament is not suitable. "Cicaro is also known as the nemesis of urban management. Why don't you let Lingmeng block the alley entrance three times in a row? Manpower is sometimes poor - not just human beings are also sometimes poor."
As soon as I started talking about running trains, Tavel was immediately speechless. He didn't know what to say for a long time, because people with normal logic generally can't keep up with my jumping speed. Of course, Qianqian's situation is another situation, she is not
I can't keep up, but she dances faster than me.
"Go back and rest for a while. This is not a punishment, nor is it dissatisfaction with your work," I said earnestly, patting Tavel on the shoulder. I felt like the leader of a township enterprise encouraging his employees, "Just be an organization."
I'll give you a holiday. I haven't seen you take off this white robe since the day I met you. Now I'll give you a seven-day holiday. Go back and find some private entertainment, buy some beautiful clothes, etc., or I won't
I thought your robe was a skin bound to the system..."
Tavel: "Um...oh, if this is your order."
Although I still look a little reluctant, at least I don't have the uneasiness and depression anymore, which is gratifying and gratifying.
After returning from the Shadow City, dinner was indeed being prepared at home. Anweina, who stayed at home, had already prepared a sumptuous meal. Organic, inorganic and suspicious compounds were laid out on a table full of food. Two colors of food were used according to the diners.
The plate was clearly marked "Mortal Eating Area" and "Sandora Eating Area". When I appeared, my sister was grabbing the little bubbles off the table over and over again: the little girl had entered a state of curiosity, and she
He bites everything he sees, including Dingdang, who is running away with a piece of green vegetables all over the table - this is such a nostalgic scene.
"I gave Tavel a holiday."
Seeing Sandora's eyes drifting towards me, I said casually, she probably wanted to ask this too.
"Well, this is good for her. Although many of the research projects she has led recently are progressing very quickly, they are almost reaching her limit."
"Sooner or later, workaholics will get into trouble," Miss Lin sighed earnestly, "I used to have a colleague who was a workaholic. He would often stay away from home for a month or two when he was away on assignments."
Although I guessed what Lin Xue wanted to say, I still asked cooperatively: "What happened next? Something happened?"
"Later, his wife chased him thousands of miles to Dubai, and captured Ya and the three mistresses together. His wife is also a member of the organization and is responsible for intelligence..."
What this story tells us is that we should never believe what the eldest lady can say. Fortunately, I was full of expectations for her little story just now.
After dinner, it was still raining heavily outside. It was supposed to be a long summer day, and it should still be bright outside at this time, but because of the heavy rain, it was as if it was nightfall. I could only see a little yellowish light on the horizon. Such a heavy rain
, it was obviously impossible to go out for a walk after dinner as usual, so I continued to lie by the window and watch the rain.
Qianqian nuzzled and moved next to me, muttering: "I'm so bored at home, I want to go out and play."
"Why are you going out in such a heavy rain? I really don't want to go to Shadow City. They just changed the seven-day sunshine autumn theme package, which is enough for you to enjoy."
"Shadow City is still different from the outside. It's not lively." Qian Qian's only criterion for judging the joy of life is whether it is lively or not. "How about I drive the shield and go around the city's water system? I've wanted to do this since I was a child.
Go for a run outside in the heavy rain or something."
I thought for a while and was about to stop her, but when I turned my head, I found that Qian Qian had disappeared: This girl has such terrifying mobility, she thinks about it all at once!
However, Qianqian's various random off-line behaviors have become a daily scene at home. Apart from sighing, I have no other reaction. Looking at the sky outside, I think it may not take a few minutes for the girl to feel it.
I ran back out of boredom.
Speaking of which, she mentioned that when she was a child, she liked to run outside when it rained. She actually had some memories of this. I remember that we were still young and lived in an old house in the old city. Not far from the door was a large field of grass.
The grassland is low-lying and will flood when it rains. Every time it rains or snows, it is the liberation day for all the children in the alley. Because the local road conditions are notoriously bad in the city, there is a reason not to go to class when it rains. And I and I
Qianqian has more freedom than other children, so she can sneak out and play in this situation: the main reason is that her sister has no time to take care of me, and Qianqian's father is digging out the ancestral graves of ancient people all year round, while her mother is
We worked in the city, and we were both well-known local wild children who were uneducated. We did a lot of things that other children didn't dare to do, including running around in the heavy rain wearing a plastic sheet, and walking on the grass.
Swimming in a large puddle, I imagined that I was fighting a shark monster in the South Pacific - although Qianqian and I both agreed at that time that the South Pacific was not too far from the flood control ditch to the west of the primary school, but that could not stop the two children from enjoying the beautiful scenery
Imagination, right?
Now that many years have passed, Qianqian is still as naughty and mischievous as when she was a child, but I have degenerated into a guy who squats at the door holding a small teapot and sipping tea on heavy rainy days...
"Although the weather is not very good, there is a special kind of romance in blowing the cool breeze and feeling the tiny water droplets hitting your face."
Lin Xue sat down next to me and looked at the rain curtain outside the eaves and said.
Although the big house at home looks a bit weird due to many renovations. The warehouse is not like a warehouse or a villa, but at least it has all the accessories for a mid- to high-end residence, including a particularly large one in front of the main entrance.
The open pavilion and the wide eaves blocked the falling rain, making the door a good place to enjoy the rain. Miss Lin and I sat side by side on the dry open space at the door, one sipping tea and the other lowering his head to peel off the rain.
Chestnuts are like a landlord and his wife.
"Are you quite artistic sometimes?" When I heard Lin Xue sighing about romance in the rain, I tilted my head and blew hot air into the eldest lady's ears, "This is not what my hot-tempered eldest lady said."
"Stop making trouble. Before I was fifteen years old, I was raised in the aristocratic education. Being bold and unrestrained doesn't mean that I can't be graceful. Don't ruin the atmosphere. It's rare for me to accompany you, who doesn't understand the charm.
The wood is blowing cool breeze outside.”
I can describe the etiquette lessons of the noble daughter as a struggle. From this point on, I gave up hope on the graceful approach of the eldest lady, especially when she said this, she was still grabbing chestnuts from me.
"It's so relaxing. I'm much more comfortable here with you than at home." Lin Xue turned slightly sideways and leaned on my shoulder naturally, "There are a lot of rules in the house, and there are eyes staring at me everywhere, you...
It’s okay to do anything around the idiot. Haha, you said there’s so much coke. The royal life here doesn’t have as many rules as the wealthy family in my family. I really don’t know why those old men usually have so many rules!”
I was quite surprised: "Can your family still be considered rich?"
"Nonsense, Baqi has been arrested by you and sent to a labor camp. Who on earth is not a rich man?"
I thought for a while: "It seems that Baqi was captured by people from the Star Territory, right?"
Lin Xue turned her head, bumped my cheek with the back of her head, and continued to complain about the boredom of life at home and the mess of rules.
The eldest lady is a person who doesn’t like old-fashioned rules in her family. In her words, every family with assets exceeding that of local entrepreneurs in townships is like a cage. The richer the family, the denser the cage, and the more history, the smaller the cage.
If it comes from a big family with a history of hundreds of years and a net worth of billions, then basically if you fart, you will have more than a dozen people following you to test the ingredients, not to mention that direct members of the family are causing trouble outside all day long, running around with men of unknown origin, etc.
, that can make the old people mad. The eldest lady has grown up in such a strict tutoring environment since she was a child. Before she was thirteen years old, when she went out to play soy sauce, she would be followed by half a reinforcement company in civilian clothes: Although I think she is talking nonsense,
But there is no doubt that there are many rules in a big family.
If she hadn't become a leader of the superpower team because of her special talent, and the boss behind the superpower team was her own father, the eldest lady might still be trapped in a cage.
"Maybe she will become a social butterfly or something, the legendary golden vase."
Lin Xue piled the chestnut shells on the ground, which were almost ten centimeters high at this time, and murmured in a low voice, "I get chills all over just thinking about it, hiss - being surrounded by a circle of people practicing ballroom dancing and social etiquette
Ah, you know, there are four ways to open the bottle of just one kind of red wine, which almost killed me. Fortunately, I escaped because of my extraordinary talent."
When I listened to the eldest lady’s strange childhood life, I felt all kinds of incredible. I didn’t know which kind of red wine had four ways to open a bottle, but I knew that there was a goddess of light in my family who usually drank wine with her teeth.
Suck the bottle cap, and you will realize how nonsense those messy etiquette are.
"So it's good here," Lin Xue sighed sincerely, "Sometimes I feel that even if someone comes to demolish your house, you can always greet them with a smile. Where does this good temper come from?"
I thought for a while: "Are you gently reminding me that this house has been demolished several times?"
And in my impression, the person who demolished a house for the first time seemed to be this guy’s good friend.
While I was chatting with the eldest lady, I felt that the time and space around me had changed slightly. This feeling is very subtle and difficult to describe in words, and most people may not realize it at all: it's like the person next to you
It was as if a frame had suddenly been lost, cut off for an indescribably brief moment, and then rejoined.
This feeling is actually not unfamiliar: Qianqian is back.
Using time acceleration to rush on the road is a trick that Qian Qian is familiar with. Sometimes she uses this trick to dodge around the house, but in fact it only looks like this to people in ordinary time and space. In her own eyes, she is still
I slowly covered those distances in normal time, so until now I still don't understand the point of Qianqian using time to speed up and run back and forth. Wouldn't space teleportation be more useful?
"You went out and went crazy for a few minutes, and finally felt that it was boring?"
I turned to look at the short-haired girl who was trying to scare me with a wicked smile, and then looked at her hand in surprise, "Ahem, what are you holding?"
"This?" Qian Qian scratched her hair and shook a bunch of things in her hand, "It should be a bunch of Buddhist beads. There was a weird uncle passing by by the moat just now, and he threw it to me."
I was confused: "...why?"
I feel like there is another unexplainable phenomenon on Qianqian. Why do you think the uncle passing by would throw Buddhist beads at me... Uh, no, why do you think there are people beside the moat when it rains heavily and blackly?
When an uncle appears, he still passes by resolutely?
At this time, Miss Lin suddenly opened her mouth to clear up the confusion: "It's raining heavily during the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival. Standing on the edge of the moat, there is a white shadow with a blue light on its head floating towards you without touching its feet. You must not throw anything at it."
?Qianqian, did you forget to turn on invisibility?"
We were shocked at that time and thought that Qianqian should not be allowed to go out alone...
But another thing quickly interrupted my attention on this matter: the eldest lady next to me suddenly frowned and covered her eyes, and then made a "woo" sound from her mouth.
"What's wrong?"
I quickly held Lin Xue's shoulders, feeling nervous.
"A very...bad feeling, a big crisis, a big crisis in life!"
For a moment, I felt the hairs on my face stand up. Lin Banxian never lied. Her bluster made even Qian Qian jump to the house, but before we could convene the whole family to discuss the war meeting.
, the eldest lady waved her hand: "Don't... don't be nervous, it has nothing to do with you, it has to do with me! It's a big crisis, a big crisis in life! This lady seems to be in big trouble!"
"Hey, don't scare people." I grabbed the eldest lady's arm and reached out to touch her forehead, "Are you cold?"
"You're catching a cold, I'm serious!" Lin Xue slapped my paw off, "Something very troublesome is about to happen, but it has nothing to do with the empire or anything. Even I can't see what's going on this time.
It’s over, the only thing that’s certain is that this young lady will face a big problem in her life, and you, a piece of wood, will also be a part of it!”
