Stand by

Jiang Xing was the first to arrive at the laboratory again.

The campus is still very clean, and the heat-insulated glass blocks the 36-degree Celsius heat from the evergreen broad leaves outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The central air-conditioning, photosensitive lighting and equipment power are turned on one by one.

A reply letter popped out of the mailbox on the campus intranet, and the joy of skating and drinking iced orange soda disappeared when he came.

Again dismissed.

Second time.

Jiang Xing unconsciously touched the little green dinosaur on the zipper of the schoolbag, and a strand of hair that was raised on the back of his head fell down.

Two weeks ago, Ye Yi, a partner in the same group, stole a set of unpublished data collected by him for a group report without authorization.

One month of long-term observation, hundreds of controlled experiments, and the results of countless nights have suddenly become the fruits of other people's pockets.

Jiang Xing twitched the corner of his mouth coldly.

This is his second application for data appraisal, and the first time he submitted it to Fang Xu, the current temporary head of the laboratory.

Fang Xu is a senior Ph.D. senior in the laboratory, but it is not surprising that he would send his application back to Jiang Xing.

The Ye family and the Fang family are well-known family friends in S City. Ye Yi grew up with several senior brothers with prominent backgrounds in the laboratory. Among the younger generations, they all have a preference for Ye Yi, even though the difference in professional level between the two is obvious to all.

It doesn't matter, Jiang Xing thought lazily.

In the laboratory, the seniority ranks are strict, and the teachers don't care about their affairs, so this time he directly submitted it to the new administrator who heard that he was still abroad.

The evidence materials recorded in the process cycle of the experimental method are clear and clear, and can completely form a chain of evidence that corroborates each other.

But it turned out to be dismissed again.

The central air conditioner started to run, whizzing and releasing air-conditioning, with a heavy sound.

People in the laboratory came to check in one after another. A senior sister who had been sitting next to Jiang Xing's laboratory table for half a year and still hadn't remembered her face and name exactly, asked him a few words about his progress, and then moved the topic to another place.

They didn't know the specifics of the matter, they only heard that Jiang Xing and Ye Yi were at odds because of homework.

After all, this is nothing new in the academic circle. It is estimated that out of [-] emails received by the Masters and Ph.D. Academic Committee’s mailbox a day, [-] of them are intended to appeal for plagiarism or false references.

As she spoke, she opened the rice ball box, not noticing Jiang Xing's small movement of frowning and moving the jar away.

He himself never eats in the lab.

"I heard that the new successor is Prince GU."

Oh, no wonder.

Jiang Xing propped his head with one hand and blinked calmly.

Compliant laboratories have instructors and actual managers. The instructor of the S University Research Institute is Ge Shi, a Chinese-born Nobel laureate. Ge Shi spends nine months a year in retreat for scientific research, and the remaining three months are all over the world. Fei attends summit forums and gives lectures, and the time he can really give to his disciples is less than 20 days a year on average.

Even so, the s laboratory is still a sacred place for scientific research in universities across the country, a cutting-edge academic platform in the Eastern Region, and a research center with huge valuations.

After all, the s large laboratory is backed by the GU consortium so that it can enjoy the cool, but at a certain moment when Jiang Xing clicked on the email, the feasibility of firing this laboratory with excellent benefits and everyone's envy flashed across his mind.

But only for a moment.

Not so much.

Not yet.

He still has a way.

"It should only be these two days," the senior sister was busy eating dinner, she could not speak clearly, and she could continue to talk without Jiang Xing's obvious response: "GU sent a wolf to guard the most valuable treasure. "

The experimental center has always been the most important gate for enterprises in this industry, representing the cards, chips, creativity and competitiveness.The gold content of technology is directly proportional to the commercial value, and there have been precedents in which commercial opponents intend to steal core technology and secret data.

Jiang Xing didn't understand a word of the senior sister's exaggerated description of the new manager's handsome appearance, his outstanding business talent, and the KBA index of his thesis and monograph, which has been at the top of the Chinese youth academic list for many years.

He was thinking about what else he could do, since the new manager was also in cahoots with Fang Xu and Ye Yi's generation.

What else can he do?

The senior sister finally found herself in a single player after eating a rice ball: "Hey, give me a little reaction."

"Huh?" Jiang Xing came back to his senses, and casually replied "Oh".

"..." The senior sister quickly understood what he meant, and retreated dully.

Jiang Xing did not hide his lack of interest at all. The rejection letter in front of him was written by the new manager who was hyped up.

Anyway, he no longer had any hope of getting justice from the management. He propped up his upper body, which was lazily lying on the table, and decided to cheer up and re-prepare the materials from the academic management committee.

In short, he must never give in. He does not fight or grab other things, but he always takes schoolwork very seriously.

Coupled with his uncompromising personality, it is estimated that when he was in junior high school, he forced a classmate who copied his composition to read the apology letter in front of the whole school in the broadcasting room. No one would believe it.

After all, Jiang Xing looks cool and indifferent, and even more so when it comes to daily affairs that are not related to experiments, he releases a slow-moving meekness and laziness.

He has been in the laboratory for more than half a year, and no one has recognized him. The person who knows him the most and has the deepest friendship may be his complete and fragmented experimental equipment.

Jiang Xing took another look at the email that had rejected his retrial twice, reading it very slowly.

His gaze flicked over every word.

The lip line is slightly tightened.

After finishing the rice balls, the senior sister got up to clean up the trash, and she saw a determination and ruthlessness that belonged only to young people in those bright black eyes.

It's an illusion, the dumbfounded junior in the laboratory never had any expression on his face.

If you want to distinguish carefully, the other party has already lowered his head and started to seriously devote himself to the experiment.

The thrushes on the green treetops on the window eaves spread their wings, making noise amidst the bubbles of the mixed reaction of oxygen nitric acid liquid and copper crystals.

The summer sky is about to be hoarse.

Fang Xu and Liang Fan went to pick him up at the airport, but Ye Yishui couldn't hold back Ye Yishui's watery eyes, so he took him with him.

Liang Fan was sitting in the co-pilot, and saw through the rearview mirror that the cheeks of the person sitting in the back seat were slightly pink, and said sourly: "Little Ye Zi, you are promising! How many years have passed, and once you meet Brother Pei, you can't walk, so go with him sooner." Said to take them down as soon as possible."

Ye Yi shook his head: "No, I can't! I... dare not."

Liang Fan laughed: "Why don't you dare? Don't we still have us? We finally got him back. If there is anything you need to help, talk to your brothers."

Having grown up together for so many years, he really wanted to see someone who could cure Pei Lu.

Ye Yi said obediently and softly: "Senior brothers have already helped me a lot."

Fang Xu, who was driving, knew what he was referring to, and paused with his hand on the steering wheel: "It's okay, don't be afraid, Ye Zi, I've taken care of that matter, and just don't leak it in front of your Brother Pei from now on."

This matter is indeed Ye Yi's ignorance, Fang Xu only thinks that he is still young, and he doesn't know the seriousness of the world, but once the stigma of plagiarism is implemented, it will be with him for a lifetime. After all, he is the younger brother who grew up watching him. .

It just so happened that Pei Lu was busy going through the formalities of going back to China during this period. Although the appointment has been made and the official announcement has been made, many things are still being handed over. Pei Lu has not actually done it yet, and the management of the official mailbox is still in his lab. In the hands of the deputy director.

Whether the matter is big or small, he has already dealt with the fierce complaint and mailbox records without leaving any traces.

Ye Yi nodded "Mmm", and smiled innocently and shyly: "Thank you Brother Xu, thank you Brother Fan, I won't do this kind of thing in the future."

Liang Fan reminded him: "There is also that Jiang Xing, don't get in touch with him."

"Ok?"

Liang Fan was one of the original political examiners: "He has a problem with his mind."

Pei Lu only had one suitcase, so he stuffed it into the back of the car and opened the rear door.

The brothers who grew up together from childhood will not be unfamiliar without seeing each other for a few years.

Liang Fan laughed loudly, showing that he was really happy: "It's considered to be back, I thought you had to finish your Ph.D. before you can join me with my brothers."

Pei Lu found a comfortable posture, with a pair of straight long legs folded in the small space in the back row, with a very calm expression, but his face was relaxed: "The old man read it."

Ye Yi's happiness couldn't be concealed well, even the overflowing peripheral vision brought warmth, Pei Lu's calm and sharp eyes suddenly swept over, as if asking him what's the matter.

Ye Yi is nervous, Pei Lu is not difficult to speak, but his personality is calm and introverted, and he is calm, especially when he is not smiling. The elite aura and long-term scientific research have a chemical effect on this young man. Out of a unique temperament.

Ye Yi twisted open a bottle of water and handed it to him, and asked shyly, "Brother, do you want some water?"

Pei Lu took it casually without touching his trembling fingers: "Thank you."

After taking it, he didn't drink it right away, and tapped his fingers on the edge of the car window, looking at the city he hadn't seen for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.

Ye Yi was a little disappointed, people outside thought they were in the same circle, but in fact he was only very familiar with Fang Xu Liang Fan, and Fang Xu Liang Fan was very familiar with Pei Lu, he and Pei Lu... were not as close as others thought.

Fang Xu observed the two people in the back row from the rearview mirror, and found that the distance between them could accommodate two more people.

"Let's go, I'll wash you off."

Pei Lu's long finger on the car window paused: "No, let's go to the laboratory first."
