"Isn't it over yet?" Jing Shaowei was affected by his mental activities and felt that his thinking was blocked, so he couldn't bear to speak again.
"Right away." Jiang Zhongli was shocked to realize what he was doing and immediately withdrew his probing hand.
He actually wanted to open the "box" just now. Not to mention whether the surveillance would detect him doing this, but if he entered it incorrectly, there would be a high probability that an alarm would sound in such a heavily guarded place, and he would have no way to escape.
Taking one last look at No. 5's body, he turned the "on" on the right back to "off", and then quickly returned to the original route, back to Liu Meng's laboratory.
Fortunately, Liu Meng hadn't come out yet. He took off the hood of his protective suit and sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Jiang Zhongli could catch his breath, Liu Meng walked out of the last room. Jiang Zhongli was thankful in his heart. Fortunately, Jing Shaowei reminded him, otherwise Liu Meng would have discovered that he was not in the laboratory as long as he came out a little later.
, what will happen then is beyond his control.
"Is it hot?" Liu Meng saw Jiang Chongli take off his hat and looked around the environment in the laboratory. The air conditioner should not be broken, right? He seemed to want to verify it, so he also took off the hat of the protective suit.
"Fortunately, it's a bit stuffy after wearing it for a long time." Jiang Zhongli calmly took a notebook from the table next to him and started to fan himself.
"It's a bit. If you don't wear this often, you might feel it more strongly. We're all used to it, so it's okay." Although Liu Meng didn't feel the boredom in Jiang Zhongli's mouth, he followed his words.
sentence.
Jiang Zhongli nodded casually, glanced at the notebook he was holding with his peripheral vision, and suddenly remembered something——
"What's wrong?" Liu Meng asked with a smile when he saw Jiang Zhongli starting to flip through his notebook.
"I just saw something in this book, and I wanted to ask you...let me look for it..." Jiang Chongli pretended to have a bad memory and started rummaging through it.
In fact, what he was looking for was the letter "c" he saw last time. He had some impression, but too much time passed and he didn't pay attention at the time. Now he is not sure and needs to look around.
"Here, found it!"
Liu Meng leaned over curiously and shook his head after seeing it: "What's so good about the institute's logo? Besides, the one I drew doesn't look good either."
After getting the information point, Jiang Zhongli immediately entered the acting mode: "How could it be? I thought it looked very good when I saw it. Although the painting is indeed a bit long, the details are not bad at all. I can see that he has a good foundation."
"I'm a science and engineering major. What's my background? It's just that this one is not as long as I drew it. The institute's logo looked like this before it was revised. The current one was redesigned by someone." Liu Meng really liked this idea.
, he even refuted Jiang Chongli’s statement that his paintings were long.
"Ah? When was the revised version? Why haven't I heard of it?" Jiang Chongli made a question.
Liu Meng took the notebook in his hand, flipped through it, and said: "These are the notes I took when I was in graduate school. If I revised it, it should be five or six years ago, right? At that time, new business was developed, and the research capabilities of the institute also improved.
At the next step, the top management starts to do these superficial things."
Jiang Zhongli nodded thoughtfully: "That's it."
Liu Meng put the notebook back on the table and said, "Let's go. It's almost time to get off work. Let's have dinner together?"
Jiang Chongli nodded, and that was what he had in mind. He stood up from the chair. He remembered something, so he asked casually: "Okay, do you want to call Luo Ying? Is she busy today?"
Liu Meng's steps were slightly stagnant as he walked in front, but he did not look back: "She is on a business trip this week, so she probably won't be able to see her."
Jiang Zhongli's heart skipped a beat, he was on a business trip? Is it such a coincidence? Two days after giving Jing Shaowei the hint? Or three days later? He was on a business trip... No wonder he couldn't contact Luo Ying yesterday. They stopped in the cafeteria but didn't find anyone. It turned out that she
Already on a business trip?
But, is Luo Ying's business trip really a business trip? Is it the kind of business trip that you can come back from?
Although there were many questions in his mind, he still had to save face. Jiang Zhongli followed closely behind Liu Meng and continued to ask in a casual tone: "What do we usually do on business trips? Is she coming back next week?"
Liu Meng nodded: "Well, it can be regarded as a kind of private work. You go to local institutions to teach or assist. The work is similar to that in the laboratory."
"Oh...I heard from Sister Hui that your share with the institute is 50-50, and is it also true for business trips?" This is really chatting. Although Jiang Chongli doesn't care much about salary, as a migrant worker, he can
There are only so many topics to talk about. This topic is relatively general, just like talking about marriage and children when relatives meet. There is really nothing else to talk about.
"If you're on a business trip, it's Sanqi, and we're seven, which is better." After Liu Meng finished speaking, he wanted to add something, but Jiang Chongli added it directly before he could say anything: "Because we don't use the instruments and reagents in the institute, I know.
"
"Yes." Liu Meng affirmed with a smile.
After the two changed clothes in the locker room, it was past the rush hour after get off work, and they went to the restaurant to have a simple dinner before saying goodbye to each other and leaving.
Jiang Chongli hurried back to his dormitory almost without stopping. He had received too much information in the afternoon, and he couldn't wait to share it with Jing Shaowei.
Jing Shaowei didn't bother Jiang Zhongli anymore after he said "right away", and Jiang Zhongli's mood returned to calm after that, with only a little turbulence later. Although Jing Shaowei was curious, he was also very patient.
, she knew that Jiang Zhongli would tell her everything after he finished his work.
"Shaowei, do you want to come out for a while? We haven't exchanged anything today." Jiang Zhongli originally had the idea of an exchange while eating, but considering that Liu Meng was sitting across from him, he gave up the exchange.
. Now back in the dormitory, he took off his coat and felt relaxed. He even peeled off a mint candy and threw it into his mouth, talking to Jing Shaowei in a relaxed manner.
Jing Shaowei didn't say it out loud, but used a questioning tone: "What did you call me?"
"Ahem." Jiang Zhongli choked on his own saliva. After regaining his breath, he replied confidently: "Shaowei, what's wrong? We have such a rock-solid revolutionary friendship. Isn't it a bit unfamiliar to call him by his full name?
Already?"
Jing Shaowei was speechless. She had never seen this side of Jiang Chongli. She didn't know what kind of stimulation he received today, but it was just a name. Just call him by his name. Chu Hui and Wan Ye also called him the same.
"Exchange, three, two, one..." Jing Shaowei stopped talking to him and started counting down in his heart. Jiang Zhongli also quickly reacted and cooperated with her to exchange.
Jiang Zhongli accidentally swallowed the candy in his mouth when he was choked. Now the situation was reversed. Jing Shaowei only felt the coolness of mint in her mouth. She frowned and said nothing, but asked about the business.
