When Wu Xiaoqing opened his eyes again, the clock had already pointed to 1:25 in the morning.

Tired from reading and falling asleep on the desk, for Wu Xiaoqing, this is the first time this kind of experience.

Probably because the lights were turned off when people left, the office was pitch black. When there are no special circumstances, the employees of Qinglan Consulting generally do not work overtime, and many times there are unexpected matters that need to be dealt with, and they are often outside.

Wu Xiaoqing turned on the light, and the textbooks he had just finished reading were all placed on his desk.

On the top was a thick stack of printer paper, which he used to make drafts when he was reading, and he took out a few sheets and looked at them casually, and found that he remembered the ins and outs of every picture and character on the paper - he could not only clearly remember the meaning of these characters themselves, but also remember his own mental state when he wrote them down very clearly.

This kind of memory and comprehension ability made Wu Xiaoqing feel both strange and excited.

Turning the manuscript paper to the last page, Wu Xiaoqing instinctively wanted to continue the ideas on the draft, but subtitles appeared on the glasses.

"You look good, are you still adapting?"

"Big brother," Wu Xiaoqing was eager to say something, but after thinking for a few seconds, he only held back a stupid sentence, "I think I was really stupid before." ”

"Don't rush to read the book," said the search and rescue team, "and the book will never be finished." Remember Rao Xin? Let's go meet him. ”

"Aren't all the projects stopped?" Wu Xiaoqing remembers the name "Rao Xin".

That Rao Xin was a novelist, and he came to the company to participate in several consultation meetings, but he didn't speak much-and the content he said was a bit mysterious to Wu Xiaoqing at that time, and he couldn't understand it.

Even Wu Xiaoqing, who is now, still feels that this person is a bit empty when he recalls those speeches—this is a bit abnormal among the people consulted.

Because most of the people who came to talk paid - most of them were still very expensive - and they were specially invited, the later they came to the project, the higher the price they paid. Most people, in order to show that they are worth the price, will always attach a lot of data sources at the end of the report, just like writing a paper.

But this Rao Xin is different, this gentleman's words are basically groundless, and most of the projects and topics he participates in are also directional-according to Yan Yan and Chen She's words, they are all blowing B.

Since it is blowing, there is almost no question of blowing right and wrong, as long as what you say is intentional and looks like it.

This time, after the mid-term of the Jiutian mission, Wu Xiaoqing rarely participated in many consultation meetings in person, and Yan Yan was always arranged. He basically didn't have much impression of the name Rao Xin, and thought that like other experts, he left after a few consultations.

"No," Wu Xiaoqing said as he got off the elevator, the search and rescue team said, "I arranged for him to go to Denmark, and he just returned to China a few days ago." ”

"Denmark?" Wu Xiaoqing recalled it and found that there was no existence of this country in his memory at all. After he opened his phone and opened the world map, he had a general geographical impression.

"There are also Sweden, Switzerland, and other highly developed countries," the search and rescue team said, "and it's a project visit, but also some consulting work by the way." ”

"That'...... Do you want me to report with me? ”

Generally speaking, a consulting project will form a periodic report after a period of time.

In the past, Wu Xiaoqing came to listen to it in person, and sometimes he had to give a lot of opinions according to the tips of the search and rescue team to guide the next step of the project. Now most of the work in this area is transactional and routine, usually these people in the company do it, and the search and rescue team only needs to give feedback remotely in the name of Wu Xiaoqing, and there is no need for Wu Xiaoqing to go out in person.

Now that the search and rescue team has asked Wu Xiaoqing to come forward in person, perhaps the content of this report will be very important. Thinking about it, this mission is actually about to come to an end......

"Is it preparation for the next mission?"

"It's hard to say," the search and rescue team gave a vague answer, "It's okay to say it, it's okay to say it's okay not to say it." This time I went not to let you listen to the report, but to let you talk to him. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Whatever you want," said the search and rescue team, "I'll find you something interesting to talk about when the time comes." I have talked about these topics with Rao Xin before, and now you need to know about this part of the information. This is of great significance to you and to our future work. ”

The search and rescue team spoke very strangely today, which was a little different from Wu Xiaoqing's impression of the previous eldest brother. In the past, search and rescue teams, which appeared on the subtitles, were all simple and clear instructions, either in quotation marks, what needed to be said, or ordinary information......

It is rare to see a word like "significance" that is neither objective nor directive. Because for Wu Xiaoqing in the past, the effect of saying this kind of nonsense is undoubtedly playing the piano to the cow.

But now, this attitude is beginning to change slightly.

————————

Rao Xin lives in a five-star hotel in the center of Ningzhou.

In terms of accommodation conditions, Rao Xin enjoys much better treatment than Wu Xiaoqing, and it is said that the money spent is still the company's money - strictly speaking, these are Wu Xiaoqing's money. ——The room fee for one night, Wu Xiaoqing can't spend it in a month now.

If it was Wu Xiaoqing in the past, he would definitely not have any ideas, because in the past in Wu Xiaoqing's head, money was just a number, and it was still a very annoying number.

The addition, subtraction, and subtraction between these numbers, shuttling back and forth, are like a big net woven by the search and rescue team, enveloping Qinglan Consulting and everyone involved with it.

In the past, Wu Xiaoqing had also carefully looked at the company's account sheet once, and the search and rescue team even explained to him many details, including the pricing standard of one person and the pricing standard of one thing......

For Wu Xiaoqing in the past, these numbers represented too many complicated things, and he certainly had no way to understand them. But now, almost after hearing the search and rescue team mention Denmark and the name of this hotel, Wu Xiaoqing automatically appeared in his mind with the corresponding information.

Wu Xiaoqing only needs to open his phone and find the company's accounts in his email for the last few months, and it is not difficult to know how much money the search and rescue team has spent on this person - even for the current Qinglan Consulting, this is still a large number.

And what is all this money used for?

I don't know.

Yes, even the search and rescue team does not know it completely.

Because Rao Xin went to Europe alone, the company did not send a financial advisor to supervise the accounts, and Rao Xin almost never reported to the company or the search and rescue team.

If this were to be changed to another ordinary company, and the search and rescue team was a high-level executive of an ordinary company, Wu Xiaoqing, the boss, would almost have absolute reason to suspect that this was the search and rescue team's embezzlement of huge sums of money in the name of the project.

"Big brother, this doesn't look like your style of doing things," Wu Xiaoqing didn't realize that his current way of speaking was also undergoing subtle changes, and his intellectual leap gave him an unprecedented self-confidence, and when he spoke to the search and rescue team, he was not as submissive as before, "Isn't he a novelist?" ”

In Wu Xiaoqing's memory, they have invited more people to Qinglan Consulting, from astronauts to scientists, from professional soldiers to nuclear bomb engineers......

Wu Xiaoqing even suspected that with the current strength of Qinglan Consulting, even if the consulting fee was to invite the President of the United States to a meeting, I am afraid that it is not impossible. If you have already stepped down, you can invite several people in a minute. And like Rao Xin, he took a lot of money alone, went around the richest country in Europe, and continued to live in a five-star hotel when he came back...... Haven't seen any of them.

"What, discriminate against people who write novels?"

"Discrimination doesn't count...... But this treatment ...... By the way, what the hell is he going to do? ”

"You're so smart now, guess what."

"Big brother!" Wu Xiaoqing was surprised, "You are starting to ...... no matter how you talk now."

"If you've changed, I'll change too," the team said, "and let me see how smart you are now." ”

Wu Xiaoqing was a little embarrassed when he said this: "No matter how smart I am, I have only read the textbook for half a day." ”

"The relationship between people's insight and knowledge reserves is not large, the key is the way of thinking about problems. You should have a feeling for yourself - the same textbook, you must look completely different from the past you. ”

Wu Xiaoqing seriously recalled the topics that Rao Xin had participated in in his memory, as well as what he had said in his memory...... Just like when he just woke up, when he looked at his draft, his brain seemed to have become a professional-grade camera at the moment, and anything he needed to recall was reproduced in his mind very clearly, and he could even remember every small action made by everyone in that scene......

The feeling was indescribable, and in his previous memory, the impression of this memory was nothing more than a vague scene - he was drowsy in the venue, and most of the time he was watching a few beautiful women and a few experts with the most powerful titles among the people involved.

When it's time to speak on your own, you pay all your attention to the content of the subtitles. At the beginning, every time someone in the venue finished speaking, Wu Xiaoqing would try to understand - but this attempt was just like his study of physics, and he soon gave up obediently.

Most of the rest of the time, in fact, in Wu Xiaoqing's opinion, is not much different from the scene when he was in junior high school and patiently listened to the teacher's lectures. - If I had to find any difference, it was that in this scene, he had a search and rescue team staring at him, so that he couldn't make some small movements with peace of mind.

It's like a movie, but the film is heavily mosaiced, and most of the dialogue is in the language of birds in which country I don't know.

But now, the film seems to have been processed.

The mosaic is gone, and in its place, Wu Xiaoqing can see the timely close-up of the film in almost every detail that needs to be seen. Not only are Chinese subtitles given below the movie, but there are even simple demonstration animations on the side of the subtitles to help you understand.

Those professional words and boring numbers can almost automatically combine pictures in Wu Xiaoqing's mind.

And in this movie, the only thing that hasn't changed seems to be the Rao Xin they talked about.

What he said was empty words in the previous context, and now that I recall it, it is still empty words.

But the definition of empty words and empty words is not the same.

In the past, Wu Xiaoqing said that he was empty words, because he completely relied on intuition to understand the content of Rao Xin's words, and he couldn't understand it; Now Wu Xiaoqing still says that this is empty talk, because he knows that a person who writes novels can say such things on such an occasion, only providing imagination, but does not need to consider realization - it is not pragmatic and opportunistic in itself.

The consultation meeting is not a script creation meeting, they are concerned with solving specific problems, and Rao Xin seems to be better at asking questions.

The last meeting Rao Xin attended at Qinglan Consulting was with an American, Collander, to discuss the issue of weapons against flying people.

At the end of that meeting, Rao Xin's surprised attitude obviously showed that this man's mentality was not particularly good—he was completely stunned by the indifference that Collander had when he depicted the weapon.

Since then, Rao Xin has never been seen in Qinglan Consulting.
