Watching Merkel leave, Anna and Victor, who were in Anna's office, poked their heads in the direction of Schiller's office.
"Why is Merkel gone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a vacuum cleaner sounded in Schiller's office. Victor was shocked and said: "What's going on? It's not Schiller himself who is cleaning it, right?"
"It's hard for me to imagine how he works in a suit." Anna shook her head and looked away, returning to the office. Victor followed her, took out his phone, looked at it and said: "Nora
Come over later to deliver lunch to us, she packed something at the seafood restaurant we went to before."
"It seems that your financial situation is not that bad, and you can even afford a restaurant of that level."
"Because that restaurant is about to close down." Victor said helplessly: "Their boss cut the prices and had a big sale. Seeing that the quality of the food was pretty good, we went there to eat a few more times."
After saying that, he looked out the door again and said, "Don't you think our Professor Schiller has changed a lot? Do you think he would have accepted moving so easily before?"
Anna shook her head. The answer was of course no, because Schiller was very uncomfortable when he moved from a collective office to an independent office.
For example, every morning when he arrives at school, he has to go to the collective office and walk around his original desk. Like he did countless mornings, he first folds up a piece of paper that was placed on the desktop the day before, puts it away, and puts the pen back.
In the pen holder, he turned around to press the time clock, and when he came back, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
But after that, he had to stand up and go back to his office, and the only props he needed to do this were the paper, pen and chair on his original desk.
In order to cooperate with his obsessive-compulsive behavior, no one moved his desk, so that because of this, there was an empty space in the office, and another professor who did not want to squeeze in with his original colleagues had to move in with him.
Other colleagues huddled together.
It's not that no one thought of persuading Schiller, but Schiller's state seemed to be completely unconscious. Out of concern for his colleagues, no one spoke up.
Before the official move, many professors were worried. In the past, Schiller could not adapt to running in both directions because the two offices were only separated by a corridor at most, but now the old and new universities are separated by one.
More than an hour's drive.
"And 'money', when have you ever heard Schiller take the initiative to discuss money?" Anna opened her mouth, stared with an exaggerated expression of shock and said: "He even plans to make money himself!"
"If the weather hadn't been so cold, I would have thought it was April Fool's Day." Victor was obviously shocked. He said, "He does seem better. He doesn't seem so anxious, which shows his obsessive-compulsive disorder."
The behavior has weakened and I can clean myself with a vacuum cleaner, which means that mysophobia has also weakened."
"And he actually plans to open a psychological clinic. Even if he still only accepts a limited number of patients, he will take the initiative to establish contact with strangers. Although I don't know much about psychology, for an autistic patient, this can be called
Is it a miracle?"
"But I think he still needs help." Anna touched her chin and said: "Soon he will find that the ordinary life he has been pursuing is not that good. It is all trivial and it will be a headache to deal with."
"But it's still a good attempt. If it fails this time, it will be more difficult in the future." Victor wiped the ashes on the sofa and sat down, then said: "Why do we need to establish connections with others? Isn't that just for the sake of it?"
Do you help each other when you encounter difficulties? If you don’t do this, it doesn’t matter if you are lonely.”
"If he wants to take the initiative to establish connections with others, he should understand this, and the way is to have people he has established connections with before help him when he is in trouble. Only in this way can he understand the interconnectedness between ordinary people.
Nature."
"Perhaps it's because we are too weak." Anna sat opposite Victor and said, "There is simply no way to solve something alone. For example, if we have to make time to clean the office, we don't have time to have lunch.
So we have to rely on your wife to bring us food. This is the simplest example of connecting with others and helping each other."
"Yes, so contact is not just a simple contact, it is not necessary to have a relationship for a certain goal, but this relationship is beneficial to yourself."
"But is it really beneficial for Schiller to associate with those patients or with us? He seems to be able to solve everything on his own."
"Actually, he can't." Victor retorted: "From a macro level, he can indeed solve all major problems, but anyone in this world, not even a human thing, maybe an angel or something, as long as he lives in
On earth, we cannot solve all the problems by ourselves, because the entire earth is a big problem.”
"Oh...damn it!"
The shout came from Schiller's office, and the two people immediately stood up and rushed out. After rushing into Schiller's office, they found that his trousers had been caught in the vacuum cleaner.
Friends who have used vacuum cleaners should know that the front handle of the vacuum cleaner and the vacuum cleaner machine itself are connected by a soft pipe. In order to facilitate the front handle and suction head to be extended to various places for cleaning, some pipes are
The length can be adjusted.
But now, Schiller seemed to have had a fight with the pipe, and not at all. The vacuum cleaner's nozzle was sucking hard on his trousers, and the poor fabric of the suit pants had been torn into wrinkles.
Anna and Victor rushed forward to separate the two of them, and then Schiller was freed. Victor looked back and saw that Schiller was not wearing a suit jacket, just an ordinary shirt, just as he said
, neither suspenders nor arm rings were worn, and the shirt was indeed a little wrinkled.
But it was obvious that Schiller had no mind to care about this now. He probably explained to Victor and Anna what happened.
It's not like Schiller doesn't know how to use a vacuum cleaner, but a vacuum cleaner has many suction heads. Since he has never used one, he doesn't know what cleaning area each suction head corresponds to.
Of course, just from the appearance point of view, the larger suction head may be used to vacuum the floor, and the smaller one may be used to clean gaps, but another problem is that the vacuum cleaner can adjust the gears.
The vacuum cleaner used by Merkel is a multi-functional all-in-one vacuum cleaner specially used for cleaning manors. It can suck carpets and dirt. It just needs to replace different filters.
The combination of the suction head, gear position, and filter is no simpler than the magic circle of mysticism. It is impossible for people who use this thing for the first time to figure it out, so they can only try it one by one.
Schiller doesn't clean the room much, but he also knows that it is a tiring job. He should clean the sofa first and make a rest space for himself, so that he can sit for a while when he is tired of cleaning.
So he picked a suction head that looked like it could suck up leather sofas. To be on the safe side, he first adjusted it to a smaller setting and then started cleaning the dust.
It went smoothly at first, and the layer of floating dust on the surface of the sofa was sucked clean. But the problem was that the sofa had gaps, and Schiller had to clean the dust in the gaps. That was the focus of cleaning.
Schiller thought for a while, compared the size of the gap, and changed to a smaller brush head, but he forgot to adjust the gear, and disaster occurred.
As we all know, the same amount of air passing through a pipe with a smaller diameter in a unit time will produce stronger impact and suction. For the big suction head just now, the gear is indeed low, but for this small suction head
To put it more exaggeratedly, even Jörmungandr's scales would be ripped off for you.
Schiller pushed the suction head into the gap in the sofa. Alas, it couldn't be removed. He didn't dare to pull hard for fear of tearing the sofa. Finally, he thought about it and decided to use gray mist.
But don’t forget that the ordinary form of gray mist is weaker than a vacuum cleaner. In the end, the suction head was pulled out, but the moment it was pulled out, the entire gray mist was almost sucked in.
Fortunately, Schiller reacted quickly and returned to his original form, but the result was that his trouser legs were sucked in.
He didn't dare to force it anymore. The suit fabric was much more expensive than the leather sofa surface. He could only choose to turn off the vacuum cleaner first, but because the machine was far away, he had to drag the suction head and the pole behind it to walk over.
, and got tangled up with the pipe, making it look like he had been kidnapped by a vacuum cleaner.
After finally turning off the buzzing vacuum cleaner, Schiller let out a deep breath, then looked at his trousers with some distress.
Although he still has many similar suits, judging from his current financial situation, there is only one suit missing.
"Are you okay?" Anna supported him and said, "Such a large vacuum cleaner requires training before use. How dare your housekeeper leave this thing with you?"
"He went back to Moscow." Schiller waved his hand and said, "I mean he went back to England to participate in some advanced butler training activities."
Victor and the others were obviously used to Schiller's nonsense from time to time. He stepped forward and lifted the pole in front of the vacuum cleaner and said: "It's just cleaning an office. We don't need this kind of industrial vacuum cleaner, and it's not your manor."
, I will ask Nora to bring a smaller one over later, let’s have lunch first.”
Schiller was obviously still a little unwilling, so Victor had to say: "Okay, we can study it together later. I guess it can be used to clean the corridor and the reception area over there."
They went to Anna's office together. Victor and Anna agreed to help her clean the office first, and then they would clean their own together when Nora came, so the sofa, table top and other things here were cleaned, allowing the three of them to rest.
.
Sitting on the sofa, Schiller let out a long sigh. Victor smiled and said, "Doesn't it feel good to rest after labor?"
"No, it's not good at all." Schiller denied: "It's dirty, tiring and troublesome. I shouldn't have let my butler leave so early."
"Welcome to the world of ordinary people." Anna also laughed and said: "I bet that everything you encounter next will not be simpler than this. Whether we are ordinary people or not, we are all dealing with the same level of challenges.
Trouble, it’s just that the selection range may be larger or smaller, but the difficulty does not change.”
"Think on the bright side." Victor said: "As Anna said, it is almost as difficult for you to deal with the vacuum cleaner here as it is for Bruce to deal with Congress. It may even be easier for him than you, because at least he often deals with Congress, and
This is your first time using a large vacuum cleaner."
Schiller sighed, not because he felt sad because he didn't know how to use a certain machine, because he already knew that he could only twist a light bulb. He mainly thought of the giant vacuum cleaner that Stark had taken out before.
He guessed that Stark must have been kidnapped by a vacuum cleaner more than once while conducting experiments.
"To be honest, the design of this thing is indeed a bit backward." Victor said: "I think in the future people may combine its machine and suction mouth."
"Then do we have to carry the whole machine to clean it?"
"Maybe the machine can move on its own." Victor gestured and said, "It is equipped with some intelligent systems and can clean the places that need to be cleaned by itself. Maybe this is the future development direction."
Victor just said casually, but Anna rolled her eyes and said: "Wayne is too busy now, so no one should be using the mechanical and intelligent laboratory he built before. Maybe we can try to develop it
, I have programming experience, what about you?”
"Me?" Victor pointed to himself and said, "I am a cryogenic scientist...at best, I can only be considered a theoretical physicist. I know nothing about mechanical engineering!"
"But now that Gotham is undergoing massive construction everywhere, I think a good cleaning tool is really essential." Schiller said: "This kind of manual vacuum cleaner is really difficult to use. If a smarter one can be developed, it should be
There are a lot of people willing to pay.”
Victor patted his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll ask the professors at the Institute of Technology. I guess they are also worried about money."
