Xueba starts from exam score control

Chapter 212
"Zhou Zhou?"

Wang Huaiming's words made everyone stunned for a moment.

Even Chen Zeyan felt a little surprised.

Because of this matter, even he didn't get the news in advance.

Lu Xiaozhou quickly shook his head and said nervously.

"This... such an important matter, I, I can't..."

Seeing this, Hou Yueting on the side frowned slightly.

There is a saying that Lu Xiaozhou is right.

The project related to 1nm lithography machine is undoubtedly the most important project Huaxin Technology has encountered so far.

If other projects were named and appointed by the officials, Hou Yueting, who has always been favored by the other party, would not say anything.

Even if the other party's ability to work is a bit weak, she is confident that she can assist until the project is successfully completed.

However, there is no doubt that there is no room for any mistakes in projects related to 1nm-level lithography machines.

It is unreasonable for this girl who looks like she is only 20 years old to be the general manager of this project.

What's more, the most important thing is that this girl doesn't even have the most basic self-confidence.

Lack of self-confidence is quite fatal to them.

Even if this girl is Chen Zeyan's girlfriend, she still can't accept it.

Wang Huaiming said very calmly.

"You can't? Then I want to ask, who do you think can take on this project?"

When Lu Xiaozhou heard the words, he subconsciously looked at Chen Zeyan who was at the side.

Hou Yueting nodded slightly.

If Chen Zeyan was the person in charge of this project, she would accept it.

Although these two people are about the same age, Chen Zeyan is more suitable for the position of 'responsible person' whether in terms of expression or temperament.

The most important thing is that Chen Zeyan exudes a self-confidence that is completely different from his peers at any time.

Even Hou Yueting, who has been in the mall for many years, thinks it is commendable.

However, Wang Huaiming shook his head.

"Xiao Chen is indeed the best candidate, but he is no longer allowed to appear in this project, especially after this matter is made public, you don't want this kid to be exposed to danger anytime, anywhere, right?"

Lu Xiaozhou was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

"Now we are also employing people, and it is difficult to take care of many places. Moreover, when it comes to familiarity with the lithography machine, few people can catch up with you. After many discussions with the people above me, finally I still think that you are the best candidate for the project leader."

"But don't worry, you have time to think about it slowly."

……

that night.

Lu Xiaozhou lay on the big soft bed, staring at the ceiling.

Involuntarily recalling what Wang Huaiming secretly said to her before they left the office during the day.

"Zhou Zhou, you are a good boy, I will give priority to respecting your personal ideas."

"However, there is one thing I still want to remind you, old man."

"Opportunities like this may only come once in a lifetime, and if you lose them, you will never have them again."

"You probably don't want to, let Xiao Chen go farther and farther by himself."

Wang Huaiming's words made Lu Xiaozhou fall into long-term contemplation.

She has never been a confident person.

wrong.

Rather than saying that she is not confident, it is better to say that she is used to relying on Chen Zeyan.

Ever since she discovered that Chen Zeyan was deliberately controlling points in high school, all she saw in her eyes was his shadow.

No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to catch up with him.

It is impossible for ordinary people to surpass geniuses.

From the very beginning, she seems to have accepted such a predestined setting.

He never thought that one day he would catch up with Chen Zeyan.

Rather than catching up with him, she is more used to following behind him, stepping on his footsteps.

Even if he fell down, he would help her up from the front.

No matter what happens, he will stand in front of her to protect her.

She once thought about resisting this result, which was like a computer program and could not be easily changed.

Rather than being protected by him all the time, she also wanted to stand in front of him and protect him.

When he was tired from walking and wanted to take a rest, she would go ahead and lead the way for him.

Not just following in his footsteps.

She wanted to drive alongside him.

Not just be the one who follows him all the time.

But the person who accompanied him along the way.

But all these fantasies were shattered one by one in that laboratory.

That is the despair that only those who have truly seen the power of a genius can experience.

It was also during that time that Chen Zeyan once again awakened the memories she had forgotten.

That sense of despair that is absolutely impossible to catch up to no matter what.

"I really...can I..."

She stretched out her right hand, blocking her line of sight from the light projected from the ceiling.

The light shone through her fingers and shone into her eyes little by little.

Jingle bells.

The phone vibrated next to the pillow brought her back from her memories.

He picked up his phone and saw the caller: Chen Zeyan.

She pursed her lips, waited for two seconds, and then connected the phone.

"have you slept?"

The voice on the phone was as familiar and reassuring as ever.

But for some reason, it made her feel an indescribable pain in her chest.

She shook her head.

"not yet."

"Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"...for a walk?"

"Well, I heard that there is a small hot pot near the school, and it looks like it will be open until late. Let's go eat together."

"I... I'm not hungry now."

"Well, then I'll wait for you downstairs in your dormitory."

"I mean I'm not hungry..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the phone was cut off.

She looked at her phone and sighed as if giving up.

The moment she received the call, she probably knew why he called.

At times like this, his powers of observation are always surprisingly sharp.

……

Outside the door of Qinglin Small Hot Pot.

"Phew, I'm full, I'm full. Although it's a bit expensive, it's really delicious."

"Ah."

"Are your hands still cold, come here and let me cover you."

"……Um."

Lu Xiaozhou approached slowly, just as he stretched out his hand, he was wrapped in a pair of big and warm palms.

The two walked on the street illuminated by night lights, leaving rows of footprints on the white street.

"It's so cold."

"Ah."

"By the way, what did Mr. Wang tell you during the day, how did you think about it?"

"...haven't thought about it yet."

"is it?"

"Ah."

Chen Zeyan held her hand and walked in the front. The light made the shadows of the two of them sometimes longer and sometimes shorter.

There was a long silence between the two, walking silently in the silent night.

Until Lu Xiaozhou's dormitory was downstairs, when he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly said.

"Do you still remember that you said before that you wanted to protect me? At that time, I was actually very happy in my heart."
