Li Man instinctively replied, “Is it another senior or graduate student? Or did you personally solve it?”
Director Wang said, “This topic isn’t my specialization. How could I have solved it in such a short period of time? Do you really not know or are you faking it?!”
Li Man: “?”
Director Wang stared at him. “Tell me, why did you come to me when there’s such an amazing person in the laboratory?”
Li Man: “??”
He was even more confused. “Teacher, stop keeping me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me. Who exactly is it?”
Director Wang: “Your Sister Xi.”
Li Man: “!!!!”
…
Li Man returned to the laboratory in a daze. Just as he entered, the rest came over. “Senior, did he really solve it? Is Director Wang that amazing? He’s not specializing in this topic, but he can actually help?”
Someone beside her said, “Indeed, no matter how formidable Sister Xi is, she’s not omnipotent. We still have to ask the director for help.”
“Sister Xi is only 19 years old after all. She’s still young. Sigh, but it’s rare to see a genius like her!”
“That’s right. Let’s not tell others that Sister Xi is not good at physics. I remember that Sister Xi’s physics knowledge was quite solid during the variety show last time.”
“Senior, why aren’t you speaking?”
Li Man looked at the group of people before him and twitched his lips. In the end, he said, “This problem was solved by Sister Xi.”
The rest: “…”
Everyone turned to look at the office that was separated by glass. Xue Xi was sitting there and staring at the model on the computer.
The young girl had red hair and was skinny. Looking at her like this, she looked like an obedient and sensible student.
However, at this moment, Sister Xi’s image in their hearts suddenly became lofty.
Someone gulped. “I remember that when Senior went to ask her about physics, Sister Xi replied that it was alright?”
“So, doesn’t that mean what we think it means?”
Xue Xi, who was in the room, was currently busy.
After an unknown period of time, she looked up and saw a tall figure standing at the door. The man was wearing a white coat and a pair of gold-framed eyes. He looked refined and handsome.
Fortunately, most of the people in the laboratory were nerds who were immersed in academic research. Otherwise, they would have been attracted by his looks.
Xue Xi was stunned at first, then she stood up. “Brother Silin, why are you here?”
Ji Silin smiled. His smile was like a spring breeze, making one feel comfortable and relaxed. He said calmly, “I heard that you’re going to make a light source machine, so I came to see if there’s anything I can help with.”
Xue Xi: “…I don’t think so.”
Those who did research and development typically did not fall sick. Ji Silin was a psychiatrist, in any case. What help could he provide?
Ji Silin shook his head and sighed. “After hearing your words, I suddenly regret choosing psychology. Otherwise, I would have been able to help right now.”
Xue Xi stood up and invited Ji Silin to sit on the sofa. “Brother Silin, I’m very busy here and can’t entertain you. What do you want to drink? You can go there and pour it yourself!”
Xue Xi pointed at the tea room outside.
Over there, the preferred drink was coffee. Whenever a group of researchers gathered there, it always looked as though they were people who did not care about their lives and were extremely sleepy every day.
Ji Silin stood up. “Alright, I’ll go by myself. You continue with what you’re doing.”
Xue Xi nodded and looked at the computer.
She was so busy that she didn’t realize it was already six in the evening. Just as she was about to continue reading, Ji Silin suddenly walked over and turned off her computer screen.
Xue Xi looked up blankly and saw Ji Silin’s serious expression. “Xixi, no matter how anxious you are, you should take care of your body. It’s dinner time now.”
Xue Xi: “…”
She wanted to say that she was not hungry, but looking at Ji Silin’s eyes, she did not know why, but she suddenly felt hungry. She could only nod. “Okay, then, I’ll treat Brother Silin to a meal!”
Dinner was takeout.
When He Gao entered to deliver food to Xue Xi, he narrowed his eyes when he saw Ji Silin. The young man’s arrogant eyes were filled with uninhibitedness, but he did not say anything and turned to leave.
On the other hand, Ji Silin took a few more glances at He Gao and asked hesitantly, “Why does this person look a little like a good friend of yours in Bin City?”
The food was placed on the coffee table in the room. Xue Xi sat there and picked up some food with her chopsticks as she said, “They’re lookalikes.”
Little Flame’s identity was so sensitive. She would not expose him just because of her relationship with Brother Silin.
When Ji Silin heard this, light glinted on his glasses. He replied with an “Oh,” then lowered his head and did not speak again.
…
The Imperial Capital Mathematics Association Exchange was being held at Huazhong University.
As the Dean of the Math Department of Huaxia University, Feng Xingshen also attended the meeting.
The people attending the exchange were all well-known big shots in the country’s mathematics world. Every year during the exchange, Feng Xingshen would always be very arrogant and disdain to hang out with others.
However, this year, he changed his usual attitude and put down his pride. He greeted everyone and chuckled. He said, “Our school’s Sister Xi needs to use a certain knowledge from your research project in order to make a light source machine. Brother, when the time comes, I’ll ask you for help, and you can’t reject me!”
Huaxia University was ranked first in the country. Being able to teach at Huaxia University, Feng Xingshen had a high position among the crowd.
The rest smiled and nodded. “No problem! Remember to have us participate in whatever Huaxia University does in the future.”
“No problem, no problem.”
After Feng Xingshen greeted everyone with a smile, he finally approached Li Fan, the Dean of the Math Department of Huazhong University. “Old Li, you must help when the time comes!”
Feng Xingshen had always been on good terms with Li Fan, which was why he had said this in the end. He had originally thought that Li Fan would support him like he did in the past, but he did not expect Li Fan to be abnormal. “Old Feng, everything else is fine, but the research project under my name is not!”
The knowledge Sister Xi needed was from that subject.
Feng Xingshen panicked. “Why?”
