"Thousands of years have passed, and I have never forgotten each other's vows......" My phone rang suddenly.

Professor Wu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Cheng Yin, how are you doing?"

"Hello Professor Wu, I'm really sorry last time, I wasn't in a good mood that day, so I ......"

"Oh, it's okay, I just wanted to ask you if you were going to tomorrow's workshop?" Professor Wu paused when talking about the workshop, probably remembering my previous reaction.

"Of course, I'm grateful for this opportunity, and I'd love to broaden my horizons."

I'm going to see for myself what kind of company this AEF company really is.

"That's great, I'm worried that you won't go, so that's it, we'll meet at the school gate tomorrow at 9 a.m."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

I turned off my phone and looked at the newspaper on the table, and the headline in the upper left corner of it clearly read that A-E-F was holding a scientific research meeting in the XX Building on April 20.

April 20, 2021 at 8:45 a.m

I arrived at school 15 minutes early. There were a few elderly people standing at the gate, and I didn't have to think about it to guess that they should have come to this seminar just like me.

"Cheng Yin, it's so early." Out of nowhere, Professor Wu stood beside me and greeted me.

I glanced at Professor Wu, then at the old men at the door, and asked him curiously, "Professor Wu, who are these?" ”

Professor Wu looked at them, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and introduced to me: "They are all old professors of China University of Science and Technology, although they are retired now, but they were very powerful back then!" Therefore, they were also invited to this workshop. ”

I then asked, "They...... What's so amazing? ”

Professor Wu smiled, "They, a few of them can go to the China University of Science and Technology Development half of the country." ”

As we spoke, a bus slowly drove up at the school gate, and I watched in a daze as the old men got on the bus. "What are you thinking? Let's go up there too. ”

I slowly walked up to the bus. I picked a window seat and sat down. Professor Wu sat next to me. "Professor Wu, did all the professors from the physics department of the school participate?"

"Yes, don't you know, the seminar held by A-E-F has a great impact on the industry, not only professors from our school, but also professors from other famous universities will participate." Professor Wu said as he greeted Professor Li, who had just gotten into the car.

I nodded.

Wouldn't it dawn on me that this was a great opportunity? Almost all science-related professors attended. But when I looked around, I immediately realized my stupidity again - everyone in the car was in a straight suit, and there were no scars on their hands at all.

I sighed softly as the breeze blew in through the crack in the window, and I looked out the window at the scenery and unconsciously closed my eyes......

April 20, 2017 at 9:41 a.m

The bus stopped after more than half an hour, and I slowly opened my eyes and walked down in an orderly manner after Professor Wu. When we got out of the car, we were greeted by a skyscraper with an extremely luxurious and modern design. I looked up at the building in front of me, and the harsh sunlight made me unable to open my eyes, but I still marveled at its majesty.

"Cheng Yin, don't be stupid, let's go in." Professor Wu shouted at me.

We walked into the building, and the spacious lobby on the first floor was full of modern amenities. On the right stood a row of building security guards, each with a serious expression, looking at every corner of the lobby.

But the old men before didn't care at all, and walked to the elevator in the lobby while talking.

"Professor Wu, can you just go in here? Why doesn't anyone look at invitation cards or anything like that? I whispered in Professor Wu's ear.

"Invitation card?" Professor Wu smiled and walked to the elevator alone.

The group of security guards didn't react at all, it was just a few decorations.

I also walked towards the elevator. But I had just taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a shrill siren, and two of the security guards walked straight up to me and grabbed my arm.

"You guys, what are you doing here, why are you arresting me?" I looked at the man holding me and shouted.

"Hello sir, have you received an official invitation to this seminar? If not, please leave on your own. Otherwise, we will ask you to leave. ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, please let him go, he's my student. I brought him here temporarily. So he didn't have a formal invitation. Professor Wu hurriedly ran over and explained to them.

As soon as the security guard saw that it was Professor Wu, he immediately let go of my arm and bowed to me to apologize: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were Professor Wu's student, please come in." He made a gesture of please.

"Professor Wu, how did he know that I didn't have a formal invitation?" I looked at Professor Wu suspiciously, and asked him curiously.

"Look at it closely." Professor Wu pointed not far away.

Following the direction of his finger, I saw two devices on one side and the other side of the lobby.

He explained to me: "These two devices emit electronic beams that we can't see, and when you pass through these beams, the electronic devices start to scan and analyze, including appearance, behavior, etc., and the information of our people has been stored on the device before, and if the authentication is passed, the alarm will not be triggered, and your information is not stored so the alarm will go off." ”

All of this that Professor Wu said made me very interested.

We walked into the elevator, but to my surprise there was no floor button in the elevator.

"What floor are we going to?" I asked, confused.

"I've been here so many times, but I don't know how many floors we're going to." Professor Wu pointed to the scanning system on the elevator, and it dawned on me.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and a huge exhibition hall was displayed in front of us. The first thing I saw was the old men, but in the middle of them stood a figure that I was familiar with.

That... That man...... Isn't it Mr. Wang who plays chess with a blonde woman in a chess shop?

"Mr. Wang, what a coincidence......" I just wanted to walk up to him and say a few words to him, but I was pulled by Professor Li beside him.

Professor Li looked me up and down with a serious expression, and then said, "Professor Wang Yue is a master in the field of physics, and young people must not be rude."

He is actually a champion in the field of physics......

I immediately apologized and said, "Teacher Wang, oh no, Professor Wang, I was rude just now."

"It's okay, it's okay, young man, just call me Teacher Wang, it sounds much better than the professor." Professor Wang looked at me with a smile.

"Why are you here for the workshop?"

"I applied for the graduate school of China University of Science and Development, and Professor Wu brought me here."

In the distance, Professor Wu was chatting with other professors.

"Oh, it's Professor Wu. It seems that the hero is a teenager, and we are all old. ”

"What's the matter, Elder Wang, when you climbed the mountain last month, your legs and feet were sharp. We've all climbed to the top of the mountain!" Professor Li said on the side.

"I'm old, if Professor Wu goes to get it, I'll definitely be behind him." Professor Wang patted me on the shoulder and said, "When will I play a few more games of Go with the old man?"

"Of course, I'd like to ask for your advice." I replied.

Wait...... Climbing the mountain, didn't Professor Wu say that he went to climb the mountain? Why did Professor Wang say he didn't go? If he hadn't gone, what about his foot injury?

I looked at Professor Wu – what was hidden behind his lies.
