Chapter 5, The Stolen Stand-in (I), April 2117
The day after the theft of the stand-in, when Tang Jingtao knocked on the door and came to Huang Yinghao's office, Huang Yinghao's clothes were neat, but his hair was a little messy. The door to the inner room of the office was hidden, as if someone had just taken refuge in the inner part of the office.
Tang Jingtao looked at his watch, it was work time, but the atmosphere of working in this office was not so strong, but the smell of women's perfume was stronger.
"What, Mr. Huang? If it's inconvenient, I'll come back later? Tang Jingtao smiled, but he didn't want to walk out of the office.
"Laugh, laugh, Doctor, please be seated, please be seated." Huang Yinghao said with a smile, he calmly arranged his hairstyle, stood up while tidying himself, and invited Tang Jingtao to sit on the guest sofa. There was no embarrassment and panic in Huang Yinghao's smile, as if everything was just a familiar road and "involuntarily".
Tang Jingtao has already heard of Huang Yinghao's personality, and when he sees it today, he really "deserves his reputation", but now, Tang Jingtao's attention is not on Huang Yinghao's style.
"Doctor, what do you want me to arrange?" Huang Yinghao said "solemnly".
"I want to ask Mr. Huang, 2116, the batch of 'repeaters' imitated from the technology of Gilman, I don't know if Mr. Huang still remembers." Tang Jingtao said.
Huang Yinghao thought for a while: "Remember, of course I remember - is it possible that these repeaters are related to the theft of the stand-in?" ”
(Relevant?) Tang Jingtao thought about it, and he recalled the scene that everyone saw yesterday in the old warehouse. The stand-in stood in front of the glass case, which was one of the repeaters from 2116. (Relevant, of course.) Tang Jingtao thought, (but...... )
"However, it has nothing to do with it," Tang Jingtao said with a smile, "I just want to understand the structure of the repeater, and next month, there will be a technical exchange with the experts of the Gilman Kingdom." ”
"Oh?" Huang Yinghao thought for a while, "Why don't I ask the technical director to send the drawings to the office for you?" ”
(Drawings?) Tang Jingtao looked at Huang Yinghao, "Mr. Huang, it seems that there is still something I don't know." ”
"Doctor, please."
"The gap between the drawings and the real thing is quite big." Tang Jingtao was embarrassed, "It's strange, I flipped through the design drawings of 2116, and the model matched, but in the warehouse, I looked at the repeater, and the drawings were completely different......
Huang Yinghao thought for a moment, "Wait a minute. He made a call and called Fu Yiwei, the director of the technical department.
After a while, Fu Yiwei entered the office. Tang Jingtao said to Fu Yiwei again that the drawings were inconsistent with the real thing, "This is the drawing." Tang Jingtao took out the design drawing of the repeater and put it in front of Fu Yiwei.
The design drawings made of paper, a stack of books, Tang Jingtao gently placed them in front of Fu Yiwei, but Tang Jingtao found that the moment this stack of design drawings was placed in front of Fu Yiwei, his eyes seemed to have an earthquake.
However, Fu Yiwei's flustered eyes were only for a moment, and soon, his eyes calmed down again. He picked up the blueprint, glanced at the blueprint, and then at Huang Yinghao.
"I think," he said, "maybe the clerk down there has made a mistake, and I'll have to go back and check ......."
Before Fu Yiwei finished speaking, Huang Yinghao scolded: "You can make mistakes about the information you give to the doctor, is it possible to get the wrong information for me to approve one day!" ”
Huang Yinghao scolded loudly, and Fu Yiwei blushed. Seeing this, Tang Jingtao hurriedly persuaded a few words.
"Hurry back and get the right drawings." Huang Yinghao shouted.
"Okay, Mr. Huang, I'll go right away." Fu Yiwei stood up and nodded again and again.
However, just as Fu Yiwei was about to leave the office, Tang Jingtao stopped him.
"Mr. Huang," Tang Jingtao said to Huang Yinghao, "The thing is like this, the right or wrong drawings are actually not very important, you see, isn't there a ready-made machine in our old goods warehouse?" Otherwise, I will write an application for approval, move it out of the old warehouse, and I will take it to the experimental warehouse, do experiments and research by myself, and there will be no need for drawings. ”
Tang Jingtao glanced at Huang Yinghao, and then at Fu Yiwei to see how the two reacted.
"You go back and write an exam." Mr. Huang said to Director Fu. Fu Yiwei hurriedly left this embarrassing place, and when he went out, he closed the door, and now, only Tang Jingtao and Huang Yinghao were left in the office.
"I'm sorry, Doctor, for letting you see the joke." Huang Yinghao said politely.
(Jokes?) Tang Jingtao thought, (I, Tang, want to see if this joke you two made is a real joke or a fake joke.) )
"So, Mr. Huang, how about the proposal I made just now?" Tang Jingtao reminded, "If you don't have drawings, just give me the machine, it's okay." ”
Hearing Tang Jingtao ask for the machine, Huang Yinghao paced back and forth in the office for a few steps: "Doctor, if someone else wants a machine, I will definitely refuse, because, as you know, the machines in the old warehouse are all old and cannot be taken out again, first, to avoid the theft of intellectual property rights, and secondly, what ......" Huang Yinghao paced back and forth in the office for a few more steps, "I am also afraid that it will be misappropriated or sold, and the company's assets will be damaged......"
Huang Yinghao paced back and forth, as if every two steps he could find a reason to refuse to provide the repeater to Tang Jingtao.
This kid - for Tang Jingtao, Huang Yinghao, who is in his early thirties, can only be regarded as a hairy boy - this kid, one reason after another, the more he talks, the more embarrassed he becomes, the more he says, the more aggrieved he becomes, it feels like Tang Jingtao wants to force him to kill people and set fires.
Tang Jingtao naturally could hear what it meant, how Huang Yinghao was also a member of the company's management, and he, although he was the chief scientist, was not a management after all, that is, he belonged to the scope of "employees". It is not easy for a manager to speak to an "employee" in such a "low-level manner".
After a while, there was something unsightly behind the quantum repeaters used in 2116, and Tang Jingtao already had a bottom in his heart - he felt that what he was worried about might have happened.
"Mr. Huang, look at what you ......said," Tang Jingtao said, "Since you are embarrassed, I will find someone else to ask." With that, Tang Jingtao got up to leave the office.
Just when Tang Jingtao was about to turn around and leave, he didn't think about it, and Huang Yinghao suddenly stopped him.
"Doctor......" Huang Yinghao hesitated a little, but he finally spoke, "I'm sorry, there are some things that we didn't have the first time to let you know." ”
Tang Jingtao stopped, but did not speak.
"If you find anything, I would like to ask you to do the same thing as our management to keep this secret." Huang Yinghao's tone was very sincere, and it sounded sincere.
Tang Jingtao could hear that behind this sincere tone, there was a reminder: (Now, if you know...... )
Tang Jingtao sighed silently in his heart, in fact, what he really wanted to do now was to turn around, walk up to Huang Yinghao, and slap him twice: (You still have the heart to steal fun in the office...... )
"I know," Tang Jingtao closed the door that had been opened, turned around, and said to Huang Yinghao, "It's also difficult for your technical department to develop our own quantum repeater in such a short period of time and with so little data support...... In any case, by all means, you have finally completed the work on time and in quantity...... There is nothing to be held accountable for this. ”
Huang Yinghao did not speak, but the facts were clear - "We are people in the same boat, and I will not do anything that damages Feiyun's reputation and interests." Tang Jingtao said, "We made history, didn't we?" We've made 'live' repeaters. ”
Huang Yinghao smiled, walked to Tang Jingtao's side, and whispered: "Doctor, I'm really sorry, in order to make these repeaters, our sacrifice is really great, it can be said that my personal safety, the safety of my whole family, have been put into it." ”
(The whole family?) When Tang Jingtao heard these four words, he was a little displeased, but he quickly calmed down, after all, Huang Yinghao was reminding himself in the "most tactful" way, why did he need to lose his temper?
"I hope that people in the future will forgive us for what we have done today." Tang Jingtao said with a sigh, he knew that something had happened, and now, all he could do was to prevent the situation from further expanding, and it was meaningless to hold anyone responsible.
"Thank you for your understanding of the juniors, Doctor." Huang Yinghao said.
