Looking at the polite welcome at the door, Shi Jiaojiao still chose the corridor to the bathroom, because she really didn't want to go back and forth in such a warm gaze one more time. The person on the phone waited quietly for a while, listened to Shi Jiaojiao's tentative feeding, and then smiled softly: "Found a place?" Shi Jiaojiao gave a vague "um", took down her phone and looked at the time, and asked, "It's early in the morning over there?" The other seemed to stretch and hold his breath and said, "Yes." ”

Shi Jiaojiao bit her lip, decided not to care about etiquette anymore, and asked bluntly and anxiously, "Is there any news about calling so early?" The person on the other end of the conversation exhaled, straightened his posture, and the smile in his voice also subsided, and said, "Yes and no." I found out about a team that the professor now leads that has been providing number theory support for an AI technology company for several years, which is also his most lucrative income at present. ”

Before Shi Jiaojiao could speak, he said what she might have asked, "The company to which this laboratory belongs is registered in France, and its name is XXX." The actual funder is a Chinese team, or an individual, I can't know more here, you can start from this aspect to check in China, maybe it is a breakthrough. When the other party spoke, Shi Jiaojiao's brain had already begun to run rapidly, if it was this field, Lao Liang could still inquire about it. At this time, the man on the other end of the phone said apologetically: "Although this professor also teaches here, I study atomic physics and have almost no intersection with him." ”

"Well, I understand, in life, it is still said that interlacing is like a mountain, let alone such a professional." Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said, "I am already very grateful for contacting you so abruptly, and you helped without hesitation." The other side took a deep breath, "Don't say that, so many years of old friendship, it should be!" Anything else didn't help. "Don't say that......" Shi Jiaojiao stopped the man's words sullenly, and the other party hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking about this person everywhere?"

The helper has the right to know why he is helping, which Shi Jiaojiao feels that the other party is completely reasonable, but she is really not in the mood to explain it, so she just sighed and said: "The people around me are in a little trouble, and I don't know what to do yet?" The man heard the reservation in the words and stopped asking, and said directly: "If there is anything I can help with, just let me know." "Thank you." Shi Jiaojiao blinked, "I'll tell you as soon as there's progress." "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Jiaojiao quickly received the full name of the company from the other party from the social software, Shi Jiaojiao searched her stomach, exhausted all the language knowledge she knew, and didn't recognize the key string of letters, so she couldn't help but make a pronunciation of the word, read it repeatedly in her mouth, and returned to the dining table with reluctance.

The main dish had already been served, and the other three didn't start in order to wait for Shi Jiaojiao, and when they saw her answer the phone call and came back, she kept gurgling in her mouth, and couldn't help but exchange suspicious looks. Shi Jiaojiao didn't notice it, and suddenly remembered Xia Lei's background of studying abroad, and asked coldly: "Lei Lei, what does XXX mean, it may be French, do you understand?" "What?" Xia Lei put down the spoon and looked at Shi Jiaojiao suspiciously, Shi Jiaojiao patted her brain and stretched out her mobile phone, "I'm reading blindly, this is it." ”

The other two also stretched their necks to look over, Xia Lei picked up the phone and looked at it intently, her eyes rolled several times, and said: "This is not French, it may be Latin, it has no practical meaning, if you insist on translating, it probably means power and kinetic energy!" Saying that, she returned the phone, Shi Jiaojiao looked at her three friends with a blank face, took the phone, looked at the garbled search page, and said to herself: "Then this is not a well-known company, why do I look so familiar." ”

"Where do you know? Who just called you? Seeing that everyone was full of suspicion, Chen Li simply asked Shi Jiaojiao directly, Shi Jiaojiao raised her eyelids and glanced at Chen Li, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "This is the company that funded the old professor's research, and the person who just called said that he was my high school classmate." Chen Li and Lao Liu's eyes widened, Xia Lei spit out a piece of deer tendon that couldn't be chewed, didn't swallow her saliva, and asked urgently: "Who?" Do I know each other? ”

Shi Jiaojiao nodded honestly, "It's Wu Xingfei!" After the accident, I happened to know that he was already a postdoc working in a research institute at a university in North America, and it happened that the professor was also at that school, so I asked him. "What did he say, isn't this old thing bad?" Chen Lizhi asked in a daze, Shi Jiaojiao shook her head, "He doesn't know much about it, and it took several days for this company to find out." Chen Li spread back into her seat in frustration and said, "The world of scientists is so easy to inquire. ”

Shi Jiaojiao moved her eyes, and when she raised her eyes to see her friends' solemn faces, she realized that she had completely ruined the atmosphere of the dinner. She took a breath, shrugged her shoulders and clapped her hands without patting it, and said in a coquettish tone: "It's all my fault, such a good dinner can't be disturbed!" How to eat this bread? Xia Lei and Lao Liu still hadn't come back to their senses, Chen Li pouted and said inexplicably: "I said that I was eating in the soup, but the main dish didn't move, so I ate this when I was stupid." ”

The last entrée, the buttered mussels, was served just in time for them to finish their conversation. Because the topic turned too bluntly, everyone didn't know what to say, and they reacted without saying a word: the sixth child had a small appetite, and he had stopped his chopsticks, and looked at Shi Jiaojiao without saying anything; Chen Li and Xia Lei had a strong appetite, and they took away the delicious shellfish meat with a pouting of their lips; Shi Jiaojiao was deeply embarrassed, not only wanting to escape from the sixth child's gaze, but also wanting to say something to save the almost frozen air.

Xia Lei is very wise and knows the way to change the topic without being so blunt. She ate the food in her mouth and said quite improperly: "Don't delay talking while eating, don't try to escape!" Wu Xingfei is not married yet, are you still good at appearing? Shi Jiaojiao immediately stopped talking, tilted her head and rolled her eyes, staring at Xia Lei with a look of "I don't even bother to pay attention to you", Xia Lei didn't eat this, raised her eyebrows and said with a lot of trouble, "Why are you staring at me, is there such a risk, you think about him like that to you when you were in school!" ”

Shi Jiaojiao hadn't dealt with it yet, the hearts of the sixth and Chen Li's gossip had swelled to explode, and the sixth knocked on the plate and said, "Who the hell, I've seen a few of your high school classmates!" Xia Lei's mouth tilted, "Did she receive a post-it note full of contact information?" The sixth and Chen Li suddenly realized, the sixth nodded and pounded the garlic, "Remember, the cyan paper, the romance is dead!" Chen Li muttered, "Lei Lei said that he is a black skin, but it's a pity, who would have thought he was so promising!" ”

"What do you mean?" Shi Jiaojiao was particularly sensitive, and asked unhappily. Chen Li pouted, "I mean, I knew you didn't want to, I worked hard at that time, maybe I would also be a scientist's wife, why not be as scared as now." "Cut." Shi Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "Don't talk about cool words!" Xia Lei pursed her lips and snickered, but she still interrupted the right and wrong she provoked, and asked Shi Jiaojiao again, "Hey, do you know what happened to him and that Zhang Jie, it is said that the volunteers have changed for him!" Shi Jiaojiao shook her head, "I didn't ask, probably not!" I heard that he is dating a foreigner now. ”
