"Negative Two, what are you doing? Didn't you say you would wait for me to discuss the reopening of your brother's case? I just came to see you after a meeting. No one is in your room. Didn't you say you were in the Star Alliance Hotel?"
In the empty laboratory building, Nathan Carter's cell phone vibrated and received a voice message from Dong Shuoye.
Although Su Yu, Dong Shuoye and his friends usually like to hang out in clubs to relax, they are actually people who get down to business. Dong Shuoye is the deputy director of the General Affairs Department of the Alliance Public Security Bureau, and Su Yu was promoted to a higher position, but recently he couldn't stand the pressure and resigned, planning to use the New Year's money he had saved over the years to start a small business.
Nathan Carter glanced at the lights in the quantum analysis laboratory from a distance, walked back a few steps, opened the message and looked at it, then made a phone call back: "I'll take a walk outside after the meeting and will be back soon."
"Where are you having fun?" Dong Shuoye said, "If you don't come back, I'll eat all the grilled lobster and spicy skewers for you. I just used my magic to seduce the hotel kitchen to get them, and they finally agreed to let me take them away. I'll wait for you at 313. I'm too lazy to run to your seven floors. It's too far."
"You eat, I'll wait for someone to go home and eat later." Nathan Carter said.
He looked back at the lights in the laboratory, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out of the laboratory building.
Back at the hotel, Dong Shuoye said sourly, "I'm waiting for someone to go home and eat. When Fu Er refused to eat junk food with us, I knew there must be something fishy going on."
Nathan Carter glanced at him.
Dong Shuoye asked him with a half-smile: "You must have gone to see your little lover, right? I heard Ethan Brooks say the other day that you haven't been home lately and have been going there directly, and you only want to eat the meals cooked by your little lover every day. I was just wondering why you went out for a walk in the middle of the night."
Nathan Carter said: "My stomach problem has recurred recently, so I am taking care of it here."
Dong Shuoye said with a "tsk". "So good? I said... minus two."
He suddenly became serious and whispered to him, "It's been ten years, I heard that Alex Kim might come back."
Nathan Carter reached out to take the water, and paused slightly.
"Have you heard of Ou Qian, the girl he has a good relationship with? She went abroad for undergraduate exchange at Xing University. I heard that she transferred back from the Eastern Hemisphere branch this time to study for a master's degree at Xing University. Alex Kim may also follow her back to Xing City." Dong Shuoye said.
Nathan Carter took a sip of warm water and said calmly, "Is he still playing with those people?"
"Negative Two, don't...don't be so sarcastic when you mention Alex Kim. I said Alex Kim dumped you before. Ah, he dumped you, right? Don't look at me like that. Do you think you did nothing wrong and it was him who let you down?"
Dong Shuoye looked at him, choosing his words carefully, "You two really don't have to be so confrontational. You used to quarrel all the time, but now you can finally sit down and talk properly, right?"
"I don't like any of the people around him. We would quarrel over this back then, and we would quarrel over this even more now." Nathan Carter put the cup back on the table. "There's nothing much to say about the past. Let's talk about business. The case of my brother's death has been reopened, and I hope you will be in charge of the investigation."
...
At 11:30 pm, Adrian Lee rubbed his eyes, stood up and stretched.
Although it was his own request to work overtime, it actually didn't delay for too much time. He had finished everything before twelve o'clock.
Many people encountered similar data sets, so Adrian Lee simply searched and classified the data, wrote a small program to extract and run them separately. Their majors are oriented towards social sciences and military industry, which is considered to be a semi-confidential level, and the resources they can mobilize are unimaginable to others.
Quantum analysts are different from ordinary commercial data engineers who need to rely on tools such as SQL, Scala, Python crawlers, etc. The Pili parsing system they configure has already automated these parts, and few people will learn the writing language of the last century.
Adrian Lee knows a little bit about everything, but he does it just to be lazy. He is not really a good student.
When he and Lucas Thompson had bad handwriting when they were young, so when they were punished by their grandfather to copy, his father secretly taught them to use pencils to create their own pencil carbon paper. Lucas Thompson didn't dare to do so, so he directly 3D printed more than 20 kinds of exquisite graphite strips of strokes in various sizes, which can be assembled to spell any word. After spelling it out, they just have to stamp it according to the shape on the paper.
When his grandfather found out, he laughed and scolded him, but he never forced him to write again. Instead, he concentrated on exploiting Lin and others.
His handwriting is now very beautiful.
After he handed in the data for Group 2 and Group 7, he realized that Ou Qian had sent him a message a few hours ago: "Adrian Lee, the division of labor has been determined in our group meeting today. I will be responsible for finding information, Meng Yi and Lu Jian will be responsible for writing the literature review, and you and Sister Meng Meng will be responsible for organizing the rest. Is this okay?"
Adrian Lee took a look and did not reply immediately. Instead, he found Xu Mengmeng's contact window and sent a "1" to it first.
Xu Mengmeng was still awake and quickly replied: "Junior Brother Xiaolin, I saw the division of labor. I haven't read the content we need to organize yet. I'm so sleepy. Can I come and discuss it with you tomorrow?"
Adrian Lee: "Go to sleep, send it to me first."
Xu Mengmeng quickly shared a cloud disk link. Adrian Lee logged in, downloaded it and took a look, then frowned.
He quickly glanced at it and sent a message: "Is this the information they found and the literature review they wrote?"
On the other side, Xu Mengmeng was just about to go to sleep when he woke her up with a question. She quickly opened it and read it, and asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"
"The algorithm cases referenced in the literature review do not directly match the project we want to do, and the information is downloaded directly by searching for keywords without any classification or archiving. We need much more information than this, and it is of no use at all," said Adrian Lee.
Xu Mengmeng also opened it and took a look, then was dumbfounded.
The "organization" that Ou Qian mentioned is a very vague thing. Data collection is the preliminary preparation work, and the literature review is also written in advance to save trouble. The core content of the thesis in the proposal report is not mentioned at all, and everything is left to them to "organize".
Xingda has strict control over such projects. Even if it is just a proposal report to explain the feasibility, practicality and necessity of the project, it will be defended according to the most stringent procedures, and the records of the defense process will be kept in the archives.
"Doesn't this mean that we have to do everything?" Xu Mengmeng was a little bit unbelievable, and she was so angry that she lost all her sleepiness. "I'll call Ou Qian right now!"
"No, I'll write it." Adrian Lee said, "It's quite troublesome to make adjustments later. I'll finalize it by myself. If you have time, you can make the PPT first."
Xu Mengmeng said: "Are you alone?"
"Well, it will be faster if one person does it." Adrian Lee said, "If you don't have enough time, just give me the data. I will take some time to do this starting tomorrow, and I will put the other people's data aside for now."
Adrian Lee explained patiently.
He really thought that it would be faster to do it alone. Countless times of organizing homework since childhood had told him that he was not very suitable for teamwork, and he preferred to complete it independently. Among all the contents of the opening report, he only disliked making PPT, because this task was tedious and did not require much brainpower, and was a waste of time.
Xu Mengmeng was shocked: "Are you sure you want to do this alone?"
Adrian Lee posted an emoji of a kitten squatting obediently - a series of emojis he made for leaders, and said: "Trust me, no problem."
Xu Mengmeng stared at the obedient and mysterious cow in the emoticon pack, and had already imagined Adrian Lee's gentle eyes on the other side.
Why does she think that even an emoji sent by Junior Brother Xiaolin is so charming? Is this the aura of a top student?
Adrian Lee searched for the necessary information himself and listed the things that needed to be written in the proposal point by point.
After doing all this, it was only half past twelve in the morning.
He was a little worried and a little sleepy - although he couldn't stand Nathan Carter being at home, he also couldn't stand staying up late like this for several consecutive nights.
He is a person who has very high requirements for sleep, and it would be even more uncomfortable for him to sleep lying on his stomach in the laboratory.
Adrian Lee was looking at the empty computer desktop, feeling a little worried. After a while, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he opened his phone to search for nearby hotels.
The military will come to visit tomorrow, and there are several important meetings to be held. All the hotels near Xingda are fully booked by reporters. However, the Alliance Central Hotel at the headquarters of Xingda usually reserves several rooms for internal personnel and certain important figures.
When Adrian Lee was an undergraduate, he often followed his supervisor around. As the junior fellow student, he was the one who booked hotels and arranged itineraries every time, so he barely knew the rules.
His supervisor's name is well-known to everyone. He once said that if Adrian Lee could continue to study chemistry after graduation, he would not only make an exception and allow him to be admitted to graduate school, but also reserve a place for him in the doctoral program.
However, when Adrian Lee graduated, something happened in his family, so he went out to work and earn money. Two months after working, he met Nathan Carter. He started to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but he was taking the exam for quantum analysis. From then on, he became strangers to chemistry.
He opened the message and sent a message to his instructor: "Teacher, can I borrow your ID card number to book a room?"
The instructor quickly replied, "Sure. When will you come back to continue studying chemistry? If you return it, you can borrow it at will. If you don't return it, forget it in the future."
Adrian Lee typed a bunch of densely packed words and deleted them all in the end.
He said, "It will be quick, I promise. Thank you, teacher."
When Adrian Lee checked in, the waiter confirmed his name with him: "I'm Adrian Lee, and your recommender is Professor Yang, right? I've confirmed with Professor Yang. How long do you need to stay?"
Adrian Lee said: "Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock."
Someone next to him was checking out and raised his eyebrows with interest: "Yang Zhiwei is Professor Yang's student? Can you help me get an autograph?"
Adrian Lee was stunned for a moment, turned around and found that it was a stranger.
Strangely, the man was also stunned when he saw him.
The other person was wearing the uniform windbreaker of the General Affairs Department of the Alliance Police. There were similar people coming and going in the hall. They should be here for a meeting.
Seeing him in a daze, the man smiled familiarly and said, "I'm sorry, don't think I'm being abrupt, I really admire Professor Yang, can you add my contact information if it's convenient?"
Adrian Lee smiled and shook his head: "Maybe it's not convenient. The teacher doesn't like to be disturbed."
"That's okay. I'm glad to meet you." The man came over and handed him a business card without question. He leaned over to look at Adrian Lee's registration information, looking a little nonchalant. "Adrian Lee, it's a nice name. I'll remember it. See you next time."
Adrian Lee watched the man go away, then looked down and saw a message on his phone: "Remember to save this contact information, my name is on the business card."
Looking at the time, it was sent while I was still talking to him. This person actually put his phone in his pocket and typed blindly.
The whole series of operations was seen by the guy at the front desk, who couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a trick!"
Adrian Lee looked down at the business card: "Dong Shuoye".
He was often asked for his contact information when he was walking on the street. He had seen all kinds of tricks, but he didn't take them seriously and just went upstairs.
...
"Minus Two, have you left yet? Not yet, then I tell you, you may not have to leave." Dong Shuoye left the hotel, playing with a small piece of paper in his hand. On it was Adrian Lee's name, phone number, room number, ID card number, which he had just glanced at and written down.
He has an excellent memory and can remember everything he sees, which is why he was able to become a deputy section chief at such a young age.
Nathan Carter said: "What's the matter?"
"I saw your little lover. I ran into him when he was checking into a room downstairs! It's a small world." Dong Shuoye said.
There was a pause, "Adrian Lee?"
"Yes, Su Yu showed me his photo, and I recognized him at a glance. That teardrop mole is so easy to spot. Is there something going on in your harem?" Dong Shuoye loved to stir up trouble, and lowered his voice to say, "You can go directly to 607 now, maybe you can catch him in adultery."
"Just focus on driving and stop talking nonsense." Nathan Carter said, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
...
Adrian Lee used the room card to swipe the door of Room 607, but found that it couldn't be opened.
He tried many times, but the room card always popped up a red warning, attracting the attention of passers-by.
When I went back to the front desk to ask, the guy at the front desk said apologetically, "Oh, sorry, sorry, it seems that the system of room 607 is malfunctioning due to maintenance. Can we replace it with room 313?"
Adrian Lee just wanted to sleep now, so he didn't care: "Okay, it's okay."
