However, Qi Min and Ke Li getting close doesn't mean anything. The social circle of scientific research is originally narrow, and a few people see each other every day for so long in the laboratory, as long as they are not enemies, they will gradually get acquainted with each other, order takeout, go to the cafeteria and even play games together, which is nothing.

However, Qi Min invited Ke Li to the Japanese restaurant where she invited Hua Ruiming to dinner before her, which is not so in line with the relationship between ordinary colleagues.

Qi Min asked Ke Li to thank him for helping, but Chen Linyou accidentally learned about it from Ke Li, and then told Wang Xin that the gossip girl's mind had run to 108,000 miles.

"Senior sister wants to invite him to dinner? Why? In private, Wang Xin whispered to Chen Linyou.

"I don't know ......" Chen Linyou's thoughts are relatively simple, and he thinks about the questions in the laboratory, "I think they will have to eat for two or three hours, and they may not return to the laboratory after eating." Are you going to the rat house at night? ”

"No, no." Wang Xin first answered his boring question, and then asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you bring us when you said senior sister was treated?" ”

"I don't know...... I think it's too expensive. Chen Linyou didn't think much about this problem, "And when I first came here before, Senior Sister also invited us." ”

Wang Xin glanced at him with some hatred, and felt that he really couldn't talk about gossip with the straight man of steel. However, he couldn't hint at anything with Chen Linyou, but Wang Xin directly made Hua Ruiming clear on WeChat.

Less than a minute after the message was sent, Hua Ruiming replied with a "thank you".

Qi Min and Ke Li came to this restaurant. After sitting down, I ordered the meal first, and the waitress poured a very low degree of plum wine for both of them, and then Qi Min raised his glass straight to the point and said, "Come, thank you for coming to our laboratory to help." ”

Ke Li was a little flattered, he originally thought that Qi Min just wanted to come out and eat something expensive, but he didn't expect that he was specially invited: "Oh...... Don't dare, don't dare...... I'm also sent by my boss, so I'm not working there, am I? ”

"But you've done us a great favor." Qi Min smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to mess with that rat thing." ”

She and Ke Li touched a glass and drank two sips of plum wine each. Ke Li said jokingly: "If I knew it was you who had a treat, I wouldn't have ordered so much." I guess I'll have to eat a week's salary. ”

"yes." Qi Min also joked, "Why don't we still AA?" ”

"Uh...... Well...... Ke Li knew that since she was going to have a treat, she would definitely not evade the ticket, so she said deliberately, "AA seems to hurt her feelings. Why don't you ask this time, and I'll ask next time? ”

"Okay, this time I'm thanking you for helping me do animal experiments." Qi Min clinked glasses with him again, "Next time your RNA algorithm is made, you have to thank me well." ”

"That's for sure. The two of us are cooperative laboratories, and I have to take one with you if I want to post an article. "Ke Li is very generous in this regard. It is not ruled out that he is just looking for Qi Min to be busy, but it is also a good thing for the members of the cooperative laboratory to help each other.

The two of them were eating and blowing each other's academics, when suddenly a tall figure walked over, and it turned out to be Hua Ruiming.

Hua Ruiming saw Qi Min pretending to meet him by chance, and said hello: "Yo, I haven't seen you for a long time, No. 2." ”

Qi Min didn't care too much about what he had tried to confess to himself after such a long time: "Yes, No. 1, I haven't teamed up together for a long time." By the way, she introduced Ke Li on the other side, "This is Ke Li from Zhou Xiaoshan's laboratory of the 'Nimbus' Computing Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who came to us to help with animal experiments." ”

Hua Ruiming shook Ke Li's hand: "'Yuyun' is over there in Shunyi, isn't it tiring to run back and forth like this?" ”

"I live in the doctoral dormitory of China Technical University for the time being, so I don't have to go back there every day." Ke Li just replied calmly.

Qi Min introduced Hua Ruiming to him again: "This is Hua Ruiming from the Department of Medicine, you should have heard Wang Xin and Lin You mention it." ”

"Oh, it's Senior Brother Hua who teamed up with the two of them to eat chicken." Ke Li is right.

When they met in public, the three of them blew a few words to each other according to the usual academic practice, and then Hua Ruiming said: "Then you talk slowly, I'll go first." ”

Qi Min felt a little inexplicable, he didn't see Hua Ruiming at any table when he came before, he suddenly appeared and said two words and left directly, making it impossible to understand what he was doing here.

But in the face of so much food, Qi Min didn't have time to think about how he saw himself by chance.

When she lived with Anton before, she had to eat Anton every day. I don't have to say anything about Anton's cooking skills, but to be honest, in such a globalized world, eating regular Chinese food 365 days a year is a bit monotonous. And before she occasionally bought a hot dog outside, she had to be told by Anton that it was rubbish.

Ironically, Qi Min had to eat Chinese food every day when he was in the United States, but after returning to China, he had more choices because no one cooked at home. It's not very tasty, but at least it's a little fresh. And since she came specifically to eat Japanese food, she had to eat it seriously to be worthy of the money she spent.

Unexpectedly, Qi Min went to work the next day, and just came to the door of the biology department, but saw Hua Ruiming waiting at the door.

"Hey," Qi Min greeted him and asked casually, "Are you looking for someone?" ”

"Well, I'd like to ask you a few questions." Hua Ruiming replied.

"Oh...... Then you ask. Qi Min was a little confused, the research direction of his laboratory was 108,000 miles away from her brain-like project, what questions could he have to ask her?

Who knows that the question asked by Hua Ruiming really can't match the profession: "Why did you invite that kid to dinner yesterday?" ”

Qi Min was a little stunned, and he wanted to laugh a little: "You said Ke Li? Of course, we have to thank people for helping out in our lab. ”

"Why did you choose that hotel?" Hua Ruiming then asked.

In his opinion, perhaps the Japanese restaurant symbolized the failure of his confession, but that restaurant was originally a place for Qi Min to invite people to help her do animal experiments. Before, she felt that Hua Ruiming was suitable, so she invited Hua Ruiming; After Hua Ruiming became inappropriate, she was still able to go to that place to invite Ke Li.

"I think the handscrolls at that store are doing a good job." Qi Min replied with some amusement. And this is the truth, if that restaurant didn't meet her expectations the first time, Qi Min wouldn't have to go there the second time.

But Hua Ruiming asked, "So...... You broke off with that ex-boyfriend? ”

"What does this have to do with him?" Qi Min had a headache, he had to pull all kinds of things into it, "I already said, inviting guests to dinner is an experimental matter." ”

"If it's really an experiment, why don't you go with the whole lab?" Hua Ruiming seems to have entered the mode of reluctance.

"I already invited Wang Xin and Lin You when I started school." Qi Min explained, "No one's money is blown by the wind, and every time there is something to treat, everyone in the laboratory has to go to the laboratory, which I can't afford." ”

She glanced at Hua Ruiming, and felt that it might be because she asked him to be disturbed by emotional problems and felt psychologically unbalanced, so she said comfortingly: "If you still want to go, I will invite you alone when my salary is paid next week." ”

After she finished speaking, she swiped her key card and hurriedly entered the biology hall, leaving Hua Ruiming still standing in place with some surprise and puzzlement.
