Chapter 49: The Team
"Mr. Foigter?"
Tao Enhai wasn't quite sure if he had screamed just now. He thought he should be screaming too loudly.
Fortunately, the people in the box didn't look at it together, otherwise Tao Enhai might have died of embarrassment.
Yagmov turned. He glanced at Tao Enhai: "Hello." Have you thought about what you did in that direction? ”
He seemed to have roughly listened to what Xiang Shan was saying.
"Ah, this...... I don't know much about the company's business yet...... It's all up to the organization...... Tao Enhai said nervously: "Also, it's good that you Chinese." ”
"Well, I've been studying for ten years." Yagmov nodded.
"But it's up to you to choose a research project." Another voice came from Yagmov's side, as if it was the same person he had just spoken to.
It was an African-American woman, with a sturdy physique, about the same age as Yagmow, but her facial skin was rougher from the wind and sun.
But Tao Enhai shuddered: "Ms. Ndebil? ”
Njaguti Ndebil, a woman born in a small African country, immigrated to the United States with her parents at the age of six, and was admitted to Harvard Medical School, one year older than Yogmov Foigt. The two of them got married when they were in college. But around 30 years, the two seem to have divorced because their relationship came to an end. After the divorce, it seems that there was also a topic of "Yogmov Foigt's plagiarism of his ex-wife's papers".
But afterwards they claimed to the media that they just happened to do similar research on the same project at the same time. After clearing up the misunderstanding, the two shared their research progress and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in previous years with this project.
Although there are also rumors in the outside world that Yogmov Foigt relied on his government background at the time to use public power to silence Niaguti Ndebil, a rare female scientist. [In fact, to this day, this is regarded by some radicals as a persecution of women or minorities, and a stain on this great scientist that cannot be washed away]
But judging from the atmosphere of these two sitting in a private room and eating roast duck, those rumors may not be true.
"The research department of Superman Enterprise divides a large project into many small projects, and uses an information-based management system to coordinate the progress of different projects. Researchers can decide which project to participate in based on their interests, and after applying to the project leader and obtaining permission, they can also withdraw from the current project and devote themselves to another project, which is very flexible and free. Think about what you're going to do next. ”
Tao Enhai nodded flatteredly. Before today, he didn't think he could simply get involved in the conversation between two Nobel laureates.
- But then again, will the Nobel laureate also come to Quanjude for a company dinner......
Tao Enhai thought dizzily.
"I can tell Dr. Tao about those things tomorrow. After all, if you don't stand in front of the management interface of the system, who remembers what specific projects are. Another woman squeezed in. It's the white-haired guy who just sang...... Or is it pale gold? Her friendly Tao Enhai held out his hand: "Hello, Dr. Tao. My name is Ingrid, Ingrid Granatt. Nice to meet you. ”
- It's finally a name that isn't so intimidating...... But she may be in other areas......
"Hello......" Tao Enhai held out his hand. He instinctively flinched, but the lady grabbed his hand first and shook it twice before letting go.
Nia Guti added: "Inga is a key figure in our cognitive science and she is one of the best linguists on the planet. ”
Ingrid shrugged: "The transformation-generation school." ”
To be honest, Tao Enhai didn't understand the term. However, it must be some academic school.
Next, most of the people in the box came to greet him. He went on to meet great engineers, evolutionary psychologists, geneticists, and so on. There were more than a dozen people in this large box, and most of them took the initiative to greet him. There were also a few who were sitting in the corner, who were also pushed by others and brought over.
These people belong to different fields. But Tao Enhai noticed one thing. There were several people in it, all of whom were related to the "United Nations University Institute for the Integration of Civilizations". In other words, at least one-third of the people here have been selected to study aliens.
Tao Enhai was also impressed by a young man who could not speak Chinese and had a strange English accent. His voice was so nasal that he could barely hear him speak English. In the end, it was only under Ingrid's on-site interpretation that he learned that this guy was a Russian named Anatoly.
The reason why Tao Enhai was impressed was because Yogmoth specially introduced, "This guy's talent is ahead of his time."
That's exactly what he said.
In short, for the next few minutes, Tao Enhai was in a dizzy state. He felt that he might have strayed into the territory of some kind of social monster. The people who eat in this box are all famous names in their respective fields......
INTERVIEWER Can I really find my value in this company......
Tao Enhai couldn't help but think.
He moved his chair quietly.
Then he put on his right hand to the mountain. Xiang Shan held a pair of chopsticks in his right hand, and a small piece of salted duck liver was twisted on the tip of the chopsticks. He was counting the other person next to him how mediocre this duck liver was, how unworthy this place was. Tao Enhai's collision made Xiang Shanshou shake, and the duck liver almost poked the other person's face.
The woman decisively opened her mouth and ate the duck liver from her mouth, resolving the embarrassment.
Tao Enhai hurriedly said: "I'm sorry ......"
"It's fine." The woman said vaguely, "I don't think it's as mediocre as you say......"
The second half of the sentence is said to Xiang Shan.
The woman looked like she was about twenty-six or seventeen years old. She has a softer accent and seems to be from the South.
Xiang Shan showed a disgusted expression: "Is your tongue numb?" Your hometown also eats saltwater ducks. Do you evaluate it like this, are you worthy of Jianghuai's father? ”
The woman swallowed the duck liver: "I'm not from Jinling." The woman turned to Tao Enhai again: "Hello, nice to meet you, Dr. Tao." I've seen about you on the news. I admire your medical ethics. ”
"Wherever it is, it's all duty...... Tao Enhai stretched out his hand. After some tossing just now, he unconsciously seemed to be able to make this action naturally.
The woman shook his hand: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhu Xinyu, and I am the CIO (Chief Information Officer) of the company." ”
Xiang Shan interjected: "By the way, she drove my private car away today, causing us to have to take the subway." ”
Zhu Xinyu turned his head and patted him: "That's also my private car, thank you." And I left you a message, Inga they have a full place. ”
Xiang Shan shrugged his shoulders and said to Tao Enhai: "So you see, it's still important to get off work on time. ”
Tao Enhai apologized again: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. The first day I came, I didn't know the rules of our company. He looked at Xiang Shan and Zhu Xinyu again: "So the relationship between the two is ......"
Zhu Xinyu said: "He is my lover." ”
Xiang Shan nodded.
Tao Enhai smiled: "The two of you look really in love......"
His attention stayed on Zhu Xinyu for a few seconds. The girl is a few years younger than everyone else. If it had been the period of the United Nations University Institute for the Integrated Study of Civilizations, it would have been even smaller. As a scholar, this is too young.
Tao Enhai couldn't help but ask, "...... Did you also know at the Institute of Civilization Studies? ”
Xiang Shan showed a reminiscing expression: "Ah, that." And a little earlier. Rama Project ...... Well, I don't remember if this was lifted. I'm sorry, but I participated in a classified project in the early years. ”
"Rama Project" was the first term I had heard. Mukaiyama's resume doesn't have this. From the perspective of time, it should be after he left Tsinghua University and before he became the director of the institute.
"Classified projects?" Tao Enhai couldn't hold back his curiosity: "The two of you are actually like this...... Did you know in such a special situation? ”
"It's inconvenient to say. She was a security consultant for an agency at the time. "Shrug your shoulders to the mountain.
Zhu Xinyu narrowed his eyes, then shrunk his neck, hugged his arms, and pretended to have an unbearable expression: "Speaking of acquaintance, it's really special...... On the first day we met, this guy brought a whole bunch of people to push me down on the bed......"
Very contrived.
Tao Enhai was startled, and the chopsticks in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Xiang Shan's expression was as usual: "Yes, as a public official, I led the team to rescue the stumbling girl, and I only did it once in my life." After speaking, he also turned to Tao Enhai and said, "Doctor Tao, jokes, don't take it to heart." ”
Tao Enhai nodded. He could probably tell that it was some kind of little joke between the two.
He guessed that those two sentences should be valid in the literal sense, but they were deliberately said in this form of the next three ways.
But what is the reality?
Xiang Shan pushed a small bottle of craft beer in front of Tao Enhai: "All in all, Dr. Tao, you can think about work tomorrow." Today is a welcome party, eat and drink well! ”
Tao Enhai looked at the small bottle of craft beer in front of him and nodded.
Seeing hope of recovering from his disability, he came to such a special company and joined such a joyful and idealistic group......
What else do we need to think about?
He picked up the bottle of wine.
…………………………………………………………
Xiangshan opened his eyes. In a daze, he heard a voice beside him, and said, "Nameless hero, it's time for me, I have to go back to my underground too." There will be a period later. ”
With that, the man turned and left.
