Chapter 16: Surfacing

With the lesson of being attacked by a rat's tail last time, even in the fog in broad daylight, I only dare to pick a place with a lot of people. Isn't it said that people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, look at my luck now basically belongs to the kind that is unlucky to get home, since the times are not good, then it is right to be careful in everything.

Following the familiar road, I walked quickly to the administrative building where the personnel department was located, and the corridor was full of people. Teacher Sun's office is open, and many teachers who are looking for her to do things are queuing up at the door, and it seems that they can only wait until she is free to inquire about the situation. I walked along the avenue near the administrative building, constantly watching the situation inside, and finally it was time to get off work, and Mr. Sun had the time to call me in to talk.

"Xiaolou, there is something I think I should tell you. When I was about to get off work yesterday, I saw the personnel application submitted by Mr. Tang and his department for you, and I wanted to report to you at that time, but I forgot about it when I had a temporary meeting. As soon as I arrived at the office this morning, President Bai sent me a new regulation, saying that in order to standardize campus management, the positions of scientific research assistants in various departments should be reformed, and new employees can only be selected from the existing on-the-job personnel. Your new department is definitely out of play, hurry up and submit your resume to find another job, and I will also help you ask other schools. Alas, how could it be so unlucky, not to mention it for a year and a half, and to catch up with a new regulation, such a big school can't hire one more person? It's really evil! ”

It was Teacher Sun of the Personnel Department who I had been waiting for a long time who spoke, she was tall and thin, fair-skinned and delicate, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, wearing a neat ponytail, and looking a little serious without smiling. Because of the previous work, we had frequent contact with each other, there was not much difference in age between each other, and our personalities were relatively compatible, so our relationship was not bad, and we were very open to talking.

If you want to know the real inside story of a university, you naturally have to find the personnel department, which is the most well-informed department in the entire unit. Teacher Sun's parents are old professors of Wuda, she read Wuda Attached Elementary School and Attached Middle School when she was a child, and she grew up to take the test of Wuda, and stayed in Wuda after 9 years of bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies, and is much older than her sister's qualifications.

Of course, this kind of reliability is also manifested in the sentence "The new department is out of play", the completely unexpected bad news, after listening to it, I only felt stuffy in my chest, and the sky was spinning in front of me.

If everything is hopeless from the beginning, that's fine. I am most afraid of giving a full of joyful expectations, and in the end it is just a waste of work, and this kind of loss and blow is really uncomfortable. The headache was terrible, and the whole person wilted, only feeling aggrieved and wanted to cry, but in someone else's office, I had to hold on to it when I remembered that the wall had ears.

"Xiaolou, I know you're sad, even Yang Slut has retribution, you will definitely come to work soon. If you don't wait for the weekend, I'll accompany you to the temple to worship, maybe you really attract something dirty? Teacher Sun lowered his voice and whispered to me. Their whole family is a standard old party member, very supportive of Marxism-Leninism, very staunch atheists, and usually the most difficult to see others engage in theism, at this moment can comfort me so much, I feel quite moved.

"Forget it, dear, thank you. Alas, if you can't sign it, you can't sign it, and it's fate to try your best or not, and you may have ended up with the fate of the fog. But with so much going on at home, it's good to leave the foggy. Alas! I'm afraid that after leaving the fog, my sister's death will not be followed! After saying that, I still couldn't hold back the tears, and they flowed out, and I hurriedly wiped them with my hands and grinned awkwardly at her.

"Don't cry, don't cry Xiaolou! Don't worry, there is still me in the school, I will definitely help you inquire, don't worry! Teacher Sun patted me on the back and said comfortingly

"When my sister's affairs are over, I want to rest for a while. Now I don't have any heart to look for a job, I just want to find some clues for my sister! Tears flowed down again, and Mr. Sun handed me a few pieces of paper, still silently patting me on the back.

"Is there any news from your sister and brother-in-law?" Teacher Sun asked cautiously, and I shook my head. She looked at me, bit her lip, looked down and thought for a moment, then nervously got up and locked the office door.

"Xiaolou, you're leaving, I'll tell you, but don't tell others that I said it, my parents have told me many times." Teacher Sun's expression looked like a kind of tragedy in the face of death.

"Recently, the old people in the school have been spreading rumors that the Ximen garbage station has also been punished! The advanced technology used by the station was not researched by Principal Bai and Yang Jianwen, but plagiarized a previous teacher named Ma Chao, who had a good relationship with your sister. When he died, there was a curse at the school, and several students died, and now it is said that his lover of the year also died, and the fog began to haunt him. In fact, teachers, especially those who have worked for many years, are particularly anxious in private. They said, they said something happened to your family. She whispered in my ear, but stopped halfway through.

"What's wrong? Did they say that my sister also hurt Ma Chao back then, so she had an accident? "Having experienced online violence, it is not difficult for me to imagine the malice of chewing the root of the tongue.

"You know everything? That's straightforward, the thirteen institutes inquired about Ma Chao a while ago, and Principal Bai secretly gave a death order to the old people, and whoever dared to mention his matter would be expelled, and he would let this person get out of the academic circle. "It dawned on me, no wonder the Thirteen Institute couldn't find anything, it turned out that he was making trouble behind his back.

"What technology are they working on? Isn't it amazing? ”

"It seems that it is the research and development of a new mechanism for garbage disposal, involving new leachate and the like, and the specific content is only clear to the professional teacher. I'm a layman who learns computers, and I don't know. However, Yang Jianwen has obtained several patents for this research, and has also been rated as a national outstanding young person, and President Bai has also been commended for this. ”

"Where can I see the application form for the project back then?"

"Your tech department! Isn't it all Yang Jianwen who is in charge of these? "I suddenly realized the meaning of my sister's preservation of the old declaration. After someone replaces, if you want to see the old declaration again, then the entire fog can only find Yang Jianwen from the Science and Technology Department! If my sister's death is related to Yang Jianwen, what role did Principal Bai play? Why is there an extraordinary relationship between Yang Jianwen and Principal Bai? What's the deal with the weird old man with the tail of a mouse?

Coming out of Mr. Sun's office, the campus echoed the radio at six o'clock in the evening, and in the shadows of the trees, the students were talking and laughing to the cafeteria. At this moment, there is so much information to digest for me, and I seem to understand some things, but I am confusing others. After sitting on the bench in front of the administration building and thinking about it repeatedly, I decided to find someone right away and tell him everything I knew and all my guesses, maybe he could help me clear my mind and find the real culprit, that person was Lin Qihan, the extremely handsome director of the Thirteen Institutes.
