Shi Jiaojiao prevaricated Gao Ling's question with official business, and brought the private topic lightly, "Yesterday, I urged the other party for a whole day, but the original materials were not in place, and I came to see it in the morning. Gao Ling pinched the colorful gold earrings that made the earlobes a little uncomfortable, did not express an opinion, waved his hand and said, "Pack up and prepare to move to a new place!" Shi Jiaojiao got up and bent down to retreat, walked to the door and was stopped by Gao Ling, "Don't hold back if you have any difficulties." Shi Jiaojiao paused, turned around and thought for a while, and said, "Hmm...... I want to take a leave of absence, right away. ”

It's a heavy rain, and it's getting denser and denser, and the sun is still shining when I go out. The water droplets falling from the eaves have been connected into a column of water, pouring into the ground with a "whoosh", and the drainage in this area of the university seems to be not perfect, and the water on the roadside is already a little deep, and it can't leak when it turns around at the mouth of the sewer. From time to time, the unpredictable direction of the wind sent rain into the already narrow eaves, and those who sheltered from the rain had nowhere to hide, and the hem of the thin dress was already wet, clinging to the calf and sticking to the skin, cold and uncomfortable.

After a while, a gray-blue umbrella appeared in the rain curtain, and the owner of the umbrella looked around anxiously, and when he saw Shi Jiaojiao under the eaves, he raised his feet and ran over. "Director Cai." Shi Jiaojiao protected the bag in her arms and called softly. Director Cai straightened his neck, and in order to drown out the sound of the rain, he couldn't help but mention the volume, and asked, "You didn't bring an umbrella in such a heavy rain?" Shi Jiaojiao stroked the hair in front of her forehead, and her voice was raised, "I didn't expect it to rain." Director Cai grinned and gave up a place under the umbrella, "Hurry up, my clothes are soaked." As soon as Shi Jiaojiao got into the umbrella, the two huddled together and walked towards the university.

"Why don't you go to the communication room and wait?" Director Cai couldn't help but ask, she tilted the umbrella in the direction where the rain came, and it happened to cover Shi Jiaojiao. Shi Jiaojiao resisted the urge to sigh with extreme restraint, bit her lip and said, "I didn't think about it." Director Cai knew when he heard it, Tang Jianyu went in and out of the school gate, and he liked these elderly staff very much, and with Shi Jiaojiao's relationship with him, it was inevitable to listen to some tongues. Director Cai grabbed Shi Jiaojiao, who was leaning out, and said, "Go to my office." ”

Director Cai's office is very small, not as serious as the imagined bookcase, with many books scattered on the small desk, open or hidden, and even the computer keyboard is occupied, not only is it not rigorous, but it can even be called messy. Director Cai quickly cleaned up the table and mouthed Nunu at the water dispenser, "Greet yourself!" I've seen a lot of teachers like Professor Tang, you probably think how can a female teacher like me be so sloppy, haha. Shi Jiaojiao didn't want to drink water, sat on the chair where students usually come to talk, and shook her head shyly, "It's rare for him to be so regular." ”

For some reason, the two were silent for a while, and Director Cai silently put away a stack of folders, sat on the desk, and watched Shi Jiaojiao distracted. Shi Jiaojiao pinched her palms, leaned forward, and couldn't wait to say the purpose of this trip, "I know that it is very disrespectful to Teacher Tang to inquire about his work by going over to him himself, but I can't help it." Shi Jiaojiao looked to the side, "I hope to give him some support, not because I don't understand blind anxiety, but to burden him." ”

Director Cai licked his lips, "The biggest support you can give him at this moment is to accompany him." Shi Jiaojiao's eyelids moved, and her eyes shook her head blankly, "I'm afraid it's not enough, you can tell me about it!" Director Cai took a deep breath and first admitted Shi Jiaojiao's suspicions, "Now his projects and classes have been stopped." His only fault was not being able to prove that he was not at fault. Shi Jiaojiao wanted to say something but couldn't, her lower lip kept shaking, "That's ...... I carefully read the report of this incident and saw that the institute shirked the legal agency and responded...... You math circles must be helping him figure it out, right? ”

"Nope." Director Cai looked at Shi Jiaojiao coldly, "The so-called circle, what it is done for Professor Tang, is probably to wait for the rumors to pass and leave him a nameless position in the academy......" Shi Jiaojiao's whole person froze, and her mouth snorted, "How come?" "There is disbelief in his eyes, "It looks very high and unfathomable, I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable......" Shi Jiaojiao said to herself without hesitation, Director Cai didn't think it was angry, and even coldly agreed, "It's powerless." ”

After Shi Jiaojiao saw Director Cai's absolutely negative attitude, she was not as anxious as she was before she came. Shi Jiaojiao never believes in a desperate situation, since the authorities are helpless, let her, an outsider, use her brains, and always find an extraordinary means! Her brain was running rapidly, combining what Director Cai said and the current evolution of the situation, with the details that Tang Jianyu had confided, and seemed to understand something.

"If he is convicted, it will ruin him." Shi Jiaojiao stared at Director Cai directly, and Director Cai nodded without hesitation, "The research can continue, but it is almost impossible to recognize and disseminate his theory." The results that are not recognized, the theories that are not disseminated, do not make any sense. ”

"The people on the other side are not only despicable but also cruel!" Shi Jiaojiao sighed with empty eyes and asked, "It would be nice to prove this." Director Cai straightened his back and asked a little hesitantly, "What do you mean?" The corners of Shi Jiaojiao's mouth raised, "You can't prove it in mathematics, right?" Director Cai was surprised by Shi Jiaojiao's train of thought, shook his head without thinking, and further confirmed, "Do you want to start by accusing that mathematician?" ”

"Another one." Shi Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at Director Cai, "Teacher Tang, he is an unguarded person, especially the elders he respects. Undefended places are the most vulnerable to attack. Director Cai shook his head, "The key is that this old guy enjoys an absolute reputation in the mathematics community, and his academic achievements and personality are taken into account. Shi Jiaojiao's expression when she laughed was even a little innocent, but her voice had no emotion at all, "I don't understand academic achievements or anything, and his so-called personality has collapsed, and there is only evidence to prove this." ”

When the two said goodbye, the rain had stopped, and Director Cai had been sending Shi Jiaojiao to the gate of the university before returning, she walked for a while and turned around to see again, Shi Jiaojiao was still standing under the tree, not knowing who to talk to on the phone, her expression was gentle but hidden with an extremely sharp tenacity. Director Cai felt at peace, and even wanted to laugh softly: It's such a couple! If he is in high spirits, she will be beautiful and tranquil by his side; On the contrary, she is not afraid to show her teeth and protect him under her wings.

The sky is blue after a rainstorm. The heavy clouds that had not yet dispersed in the sky were illuminated by the sun that was about to break through and cover, and the sword-like beam of light shot from the cracks in the clouds to the earth, in Director Cai's eyes, it was like a chasing light hitting the woman by the ginkgo tree, like a holy and quiet portrait.
