Although Xie Yongqing and Han Le had tried to delay as much as possible at home, they still came early, and although the door of the bookstore had been opened, the staff would not let them in—the bookstore staff had not yet arrived, and they had to clean up first.

Qiao Yiyu looked curiously at the work of those employees through the glass, which was similar to what she did on the first day in the company, but these employees were obviously skilled and more efficient. Han Le and Xie Yongqing looked a little impatient, Xie Yongqing took out his mobile phone to watch the news, Han Le shrunk his neck in a daze, two huge empty suitcases were placed next to them, looking out of place with Qiao Yiyu on the side, if he wore a little more plain, maybe he would be considered a migrant worker who had just come to Shenhai from other places and had not settled down.

"Xie Yongqing?" A female voice greeted them, Han Le looked up when he heard this voice, and saw two women walking towards him, about the same age as Qiao Yiyu, one with a ponytail and the other with short ear-length hair, it seemed that they were both students, and the one who spoke was the one with short hair.

"This is the senior brother I mentioned to you, Xie Yongqing," the short-haired girl introduced, "This is my classmate Tong Yi." ”

"Oh, this is Han Le," Xie Yongqing pointed, and then beckoned Qiao Yiyu, "This is Qiao Yiyu...... This is my junior sister, Yan Tian, her mouth is very sweet. ”

"Hello." Han Le said hello to Qiao Yiyu.

When they came over, the two girls thought that Qiao Yiyu didn't know them, and when she turned her head, she stared at them unconsciously, and she wanted to make a joke about Xie Yongqing, but she dispelled her attention - if it was self-defeating, Xie Yongqing might fight with them.

"Senior brother, are you here to buy books, or are you moving?" Ordinary jokes can be made at first.

"Come to be a coolie," Xie Yongqing said until Qiao Yiyu, "she came to buy it, and the two of us are porters." ”

"Do you want to buy so much? Did you buy it for someone else? ”

Qiao Yiyu smiled: "No, just take a look at it yourself." ”

"What kind of books are they?"

"Well," Qiao Yiyu couldn't say well, when drawing up a book list, he actually searched on the Internet, and bought whatever books he thought might be useful, without too much purpose, "Miscellaneous books...... There's everything. ”

After a few greetings, everyone didn't say any more, and then Yan Tian chatted with Xie Yongqing about the topic of the laboratory, and at first asked some professional questions, but soon returned to the essence of female gossip: "I heard that the teacher has recently pulled a big project, saying that it is related to human genome sequencing, have you heard any news?" ”

Xie Yongqing is always a little more well-informed, but he can't be sure: "It's hard to say...... Some well-known laboratories in China are grabbing, after all, it is a national project...... But even if you grab it, it's nothing. In Xie Yongqing's view, the so-called genome engineering is actually very unfeeling, and the most exciting and creative part is already over when the concept is proposed, and all that remains is to improve the technology to make it happen – which is equivalent to pure technical work.

"It's just purely technical work...... This is an opportunity that no one can grab. Yan Tian is also the reality, the road of scientific research, as long as you do it carefully according to the plan, it is not difficult to produce results, just like countless scientists in the 19th century rushed to discover various elements...... But now people except Mendeleev, who remembers which other element was discovered by whom?

"I remember when I was in elementary school, there was a painting of a celebrity hanging at the door of every class," Xie Yongqing joked to himself, "Newton, Einstein, Marx...... There is even Huang Daopo. At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I must be a scientist like them...... Now that I think about it, those who are in charge of education are really lacking in morality, they should hang a few portraits of Shen Wansan and Rockefeller, and then tell us that as long as they do him, these scientists are all under your control. ”

Yan Tian almost fell down with a smile, but the others didn't react so much, probably because they didn't have personal experience in this industry, but it was still not difficult to understand, after all, this little thing is not new in the news newspaper or anything - only Qiao Yiyu didn't hear the laughter.

"Is it capitalism after all......" Yan Tian said as if with emotion, and as if stating, "By the way, senior brother, when will you have time to guide my thesis, I just decided on the topic." ”

"Oh, what is it?" Xie Yongqing just said, and then raised his hand again, "Let me guess first...... It's either the immune system or the virus, and don't experiment. ”

Yan Tian made a knife with his hand and knocked Xie Yongqing hard: "How do you know?" ”

"Old man, how many times have you been doing this...... I've helped him mentor three classes of undergraduates," Xie Yongqing smiled, "The materials are still on my computer, and the works of your senior sisters and brothers are all ready-made...... Go to SCI to find out more about the progress of the past few years, half copy and half edit...... But don't say I'm saying it when the time comes. ”

Yan Tian hurriedly sweetened: "Thank you, senior brother...... Another opportunity to invite you to dinner. ”

Xie Yongqing also climbed along the pole: "Don't have a chance, it's not too late to invite today." ”

"Well, don't run when the time comes."

"Forget it...... Xie Yongqing is also powerful, "It's better to keep it for later...... I don't want to waste this opportunity. ”

While speaking, the door of the bookstore also opened, Han Le followed Qiao Yiyu to pick it up first, Xie Yongqing seemed to be chatting a little unfinished, and talked a lot with his junior sister, and only remembered to ask when he looked along the bookshelf once: "What books are you here to buy?" You don't want to come here to find information, do you? "It doesn't look like it.

"What kind of professional books can this......," Yan Tian said, "One of my cousins is a teacher, and during the winter vacation, she said that she would open a tutoring class at home and ask her to bring a few Shenhai textbooks, saying that they couldn't buy them there." ”

Seeing that Qiao Yiyu had already picked up one book after another from the bookshelf, Xie Yongqing remembered the focus of this time: "Then you pick slowly, and bring the USB flash drive to the laboratory tomorrow." ”

Yesterday, Han Le and Xie Yongqing had already read Qiao Yiyu's book list, and it was really like Qiao Yiyu himself said, it was full of miscellaneous books - in addition to "The Strings of the Universe" and "Terrible Symmetry", which are a little "hard" and a little out of the way, there are also more popular historical categories such as "Five Thousand Years Up and Down" and "General History of the World", as well as tools and textbooks like "C Language Course" and "College English". If you learn to be a person", "30 problems that need to be paid attention to in workplace etiquette", "Automobile Principles and Maintenance", "Fundamentals of Electrician", ......

If a person only buys any of these books, it will not arouse anyone's suspicion, and Han Le himself also bought a book that introduces financial operations - at that time, his parents were obsessed with futures, so he went to learn about it, and after turning a few pages, he never looked at it again. But if you buy so much at once, I'm afraid everyone will feel that there is a problem - maybe except for Qiao Yiyu himself, he doesn't think so.

The shopper at the bookstore had obviously noticed this unusual guest, and after a brief inquiry, the shopper took Qiao Yiyu's book list and told her that she only needed to sit down and wait for a while, and she didn't have to do it herself-Qiao Yiyu and the three of them realized their stupidity, Han Le and Xie Yongqing felt stupid because they didn't even think of this, and they were really stupid to help them, Qiao Yiyu felt stupid because she had reversed the logical relationship between the two things-she thought that the bookstore had to do it herself without robots, She didn't think there were people working inside, yes, how could she forget that, all stores in the 21st century have people working and serving customers!

However, the suitcases brought by the two of them still came in handy, although the bookstore delivered them to the door for free, but it was still a big trouble to take them down after all, with these two boxes, you only need to move them once, fortunately, the residence is not high, otherwise Han Le's waist that has not been exercised for a long time may not be able to bear it.

When helping to put the books, the two men finally had the opportunity to enter Qiao Yiyu's boudoir to have a look, but after entering, they were inevitably disappointed - except for the mattress that Qiao Yiyu bought himself, all the furnishings were the same as when Han Le rented them out, and even the wardrobe next to the bed was rarely empty - Qiao Yiyu's only change of coat was still hanging on the balcony.

Asked where the books were appropriate, Qiao Yiyu pointed to the wardrobe - I found this cabinet when I first moved in, and I didn't know what it was for, but now that I think about it, it's not bad to put books.

"Then where will you put your clothes in the future?" Han Leduo asked.

Qiao Yiyu probably knew that she seemed to be wrong, this should be a wardrobe, but she didn't care, she just said: "I'll talk about the clothes later, just put it first." ”

In fact, there are no two people for this kind of work, there is only a little space from the side of the bed to the cabinet, and the second person can't get in if one person stands, because Xie Yongqing is more active, so Han Le can only watch from behind, and Xie Yongqing, who works inside, also suggested earnestly: "Do you want to classify it?" ”

"No need, just let it go." This is completely unnecessary, the first thing Qiao Yiyu has to do tonight is to "scan" all these books, and find a chance to read them slowly in the future, as for classification, it is naturally done by an auxiliary program.

There are about 100 books, many of which are still large volumes, and more than a third of the volume of the wardrobe is stuffed, and although the bookstore has discounted it, it will cost nearly 5,000 yuan. When Qiao Yiyu came, he had already paid his rent of 6,000, and his mobile phone and computer added up to more than 10,000, which is another 5,000, a set of clothes and a bicycle...... In this way, Qiao Yiyu's spending speed is really not slow.

Although many of these things are large items and can be regarded as personal "fixed assets", if it is Han Le himself, even if he must buy it, at least he will score it in turn within a month or two, instead of being in place in one step like now - if according to Qiao Yiyu's current income level, even if she doesn't eat or drink, she will have to earn it back in half a year. Where did she get all this money?

The question of where the money came from is not too easy to say, according to her age, it should be the greatest possibility to bring it out of the house, but from another perspective, if Han Le ran away from home by himself, would he be in such a hurry to buy himself such a bunch after he just arrived in a strange city? - There can be an explanation, that is, she has never been used to spending so lavishly.

Han Le's inference obviously has some truth - to some extent, it is close to the truth to a large extent. But when he thought of the paintings Qiao Yiyu painted, Han Le felt that maybe the truth was not what he thought, he obviously didn't realize that in his subconscious, he didn't want the conjecture just now to be the truth.

After finishing the book, Qiao Yiyu still had to go out, she wanted to ask in detail about some details about the adult college entrance examination, according to what she learned from the Internet, she seems to have to take the high school entrance examination first, because the premise of the college entrance examination is that she must have a high school degree, and the high school entrance examination is likely to require other documents - an ID card is easy to forge, but it is almost impossible to truly legalize her identity, she is worried that if it involves procedures such as household registration, family, and resume, her identity will be easily exposedAlthough technology can reproduce the objects in museums to the atomic level, and even retain the information stored in them, it is impossible to produce the corresponding content in the government computers of this era.

After all, she is an outsider in this era, a real "black household".

……

A morning of consultation confirmed Qiao Yiyu's previous conjecture, out of the need to standardize the order of behavior, everything in this era requires a certificate of citizenship, and this kind of identity certificate is obviously difficult to obtain through nature, that is, her previous idea of self-study, going to school, and then naturally integrating into the scientific research environment is completely shattered.

But it's okay, it's not forty years ago, after all. As she heard Yan Tian say in the morning, this is a capitalist era, and there are very few things that money can't do...... But how much does that cost...... The thought of making money had to make Qiao Yiyu, who spent an extra 400 yuan to buy a piece of clothing, felt powerless.

But fortunately, I still brought 2 million, and now I have a job, so let's think about it in the long run.

After arriving home, Qiao Yiyu unexpectedly found that Han Le and Xie Yongqing were not at home, Xie Yongqing said that it was a little strange that Han Le was not at home, but in fact, it was nothing. Anyway, Qiao Yiyu began to do the things she planned step by step - such as mastering more commonly used software, similar to PPT, such as reading some news reports, and understanding some common sense that should be understood in this era, whether it is political common sense, technical common sense, or life and moral common sense...... Anyway, in the past few years, Qiao Yiyu estimates that his planned schedule must be full.

It wasn't until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon that Qiao Yiyu heard the sound of the door opening, Han Le and Xie Yongqing rushed into the door with messy steps, and then there was a basketball rumbling under the table - when he was having lunch, Xie Yongqing received a call from one of his junior brothers, saying that there was a shortage of people to play basketball, so he took Han Le, who was bored, to go with him.

Half an hour ago, the two of them still felt that they had just played basketball and were sweating, and they were so hot that they even had the urge to go bare-chested on the subway, but as soon as they came from the subway, they immediately shivered from the cold, and they sweated in the winter, and the sweat beads were wrapped in the cotton jacket before they could evaporate, sticky, cold and wet, the taste was really not to mention, just now when they went up the stairs, the two of them have been betting on who will go first, and who wins will take a bath first - there is no doubt that Xie Yongqing is a well-deserved winner.

It seemed that he was afraid that Han Le would regret it, as soon as he entered the door, Xie Yongqing rushed into the bathroom, and then went to release the water, turned on the bath bomb, and waited for the room to be almost a little warm, and then went to his room to get clothes, Han Le sat opposite Qiao Yiyu angrily, and hummed at him: "The heart of a villain." ”

"You can't be a villain to be a gentleman," Xie Yongqing smiled proudly holding his clothes, rushed into the bathroom, and before closing the door, he suddenly stuck out his head again and said to Qiao Yiyu, "Qiao Yiyu." ”

"Hmm."

"Han Le said today that he likes you."

Han Le's face was red, and he stood up abruptly and rushed to the bathroom, but Xie Yongqing had already been prepared, and he had already locked the door, and he was even more proud inside, shouting while taking off his clothes: "But I just don't dare to say it." ”

Han Le stood beside the sofa chair by the door like a plastic model, her hand pressed the sofa leather hard, and it took a long time before she dared to look at Qiao Yiyu, she didn't seem to hear Xie Yongqing's words just now, and there was no abnormal expression on her face. But Han Le knew very well that as long as he was a person with ears, he would definitely hear what he said just now, not to mention that Qiao Yiyu was not wearing headphones yet.

After Han Le moved back to Qiao Yiyu and sat down again for a while, he regained the courage to look at Qiao Yiyu, at this time Qiao Yiyu also glanced at him, to Han Le's own surprise, he didn't dodge, but stubbornly met his gaze, Qiao Yiyu smiled on his face, and then asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

This smile gave Han Le great courage, he thought it was some kind of hint or encouragement, but even so, he only dared to play a sidekick, pretending to smile lightly, and then said, "Actually, it's nothing...... Xie Yongqing also said that he has a good impression of you. ”

Qiao Yiyu nodded: "I know." "She's not stupid.

Qiao Yiyu's relaxed admission made Han Le a little unnatural, he took a deep breath almost unconsciously, and then began to wait for the verdict, but after a long time, Qiao Yiyu didn't speak again, and when he raised his head to look at Qiao Yiyu, he found that her attention was not on him at all, but on the computer in front of him.

Han Le swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and found that his throat was dry and painful, where did the saliva come from, but he still continued to say what he had to say, even if he died, he would die to understand: "You just ...... Don't have anything to say? ”

Qiao Yiyu realized that she seemed to be "rude" again just now, and her performance was really bad, but fortunately she had a chance to make amends: "You mean my attitude." ”

Han Le nodded.

Qiao Yiyu continued: "I ......" should be tactful? There's always nothing wrong with being tactful.

"That's right," Qiao Yiyu rephrased his words, "I don't have this plan for the time being...... Well, I just don't plan to fall in love. In fact, more strictly speaking, she should not be ready to develop this kind of intimate relationship with the ancients—not psychologically prepared, but before she came, she did not think that such a possibility would exist. She was proved right, because it was hard for the two sides to even talk to each other, let alone anything else.
