What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

Jiahao and Senior Bai couldn't understand this situation.

Qin Ze understood perfectly.

He was also one of those who received special security guards.

The security measures in this residential area looked somewhat familiar to him.

There's a sentry every three steps, and a hidden sentry every five steps.

The high ground is always controlled by someone.

In some ways, the security here seems to be even more impressive than that of their own security detail.

In summary.

Qin Ze was certain that the houses here couldn't be bought just because you had money.

This must be where the Way of Heaven resides.

Thinking about this...

Qin Ze couldn't help but think of that somewhat feisty and noisy senior, and thought to himself that she was eating too well.

The car wound its way along the mountain road for five minutes.

Finally, we stopped outside the gate of a detached courtyard.

Song Zhiyu was already waiting outside the door.

"You've arrived? Please come in!"

Looking at the bottomless courtyard behind her, Qin Ze couldn't help but complain, "Chao Chao, you're being too polite."

Song Zhiyu asked, puzzled, "I've already invited you all to my home for dinner, why are you being so formal?"

"You never tell us about your family, so we only brought some small gifts." Qin Ze weighed the fruit and pastries in his hand. "I should have bought some Moutai."

Song Zhiyu chuckled: "Why be so polite? I'd be happy if you came empty-handed."

Qin Ze: "That's good. I was just saying it."

"????"

The three followed Song Zhiyu toward the west dining room.

As we walked.

Song Zhiyu continued to introduce.

"Excuse me, besides you, I also invited a friend of mine."

"Because I haven't been home for a long time, I had to combine the gatherings."

"You won't mind, will you?"

Don't say you mind.

Zhou Jiahao and Bai Huiyan didn't dare to utter a sound.

Qin Ze also changed his attitude towards the noisy senior.

"Of course we can't mind."

"In fact."

"I also need to reflect on my past behavior."

"I'll say nothing else, senior. I'm an animal, please forgive me."

Song Zhiyu: "Forgive you for what?"

"Forgive me for being so blind to my true worth before."

Song Zhiyu pretended to be angry and said, "I'm not happy with what you're saying. I knew that my family's situation would be misunderstood."

"There's no misunderstanding; I only have utmost respect for you now..."

As they were talking.

Sudden.

A voice called out from behind.

"Qin, classmate!"

Everyone turned around in confusion.

Staff Officer Guo got out of the car and jogged into the courtyard.

"I was looking at you in the car just now, and it really was you!"

Qin Ze suddenly remembered: "Oh! You're the comrade who contacted me this morning."

"Yes, it's me," Staff Officer Guo explained. "I told you to wait for news at the hotel, why did you wander off?"

Qin Ze was somewhat speechless: "No news all day, I figured I'd come out for some fresh air..."

"Let's not talk about that. Since you're here, come with me."

Done.

Staff Officer Guo pulled Qin Ze and turned around, heading towards the second floor on the east side.

Song Zhiyu was left standing there, bewildered.

"..."

"..."

"..."

What the hell?

She remembers it very clearly.

Staff Officer Guo had just been assigned a task by the old man: to arrange a meeting with the scientists.

How did he end up here?

Is it...

Is Qin Ze the person the old man wants to see?

"teacher?"

"Teacher Song?"

Should we continue walking?

Bai Huiyan and Zhou Jiahao didn't think anything of it, but they spoke up to remind Song Zhiyu.

Song Zhiyu then came to her senses: "Let's go, this way."

Enter the dining room.

A tall, well-built man with a center-parted hairstyle was already waiting there.

Let me introduce you.

Song Zhiyu pointed at the man expressionlessly.

"This is my friend, Zhou Ke."

Zhou Ke slowly stood up and extended his hand to greet the two people: "Hello, my name is Zhou Ke, and I currently work at the Academy of Sciences."

"Nobody asks where you work."

Song Zhiyu just pursed her lips.

"These two are my students, Zhou Jiahao and Bai Huiyan."

Song Zhiyu scoffed at Zhou Ke's workplace.

It's because she's seen better ones.

However, Zhou Jiahao and Bai Huiyan are still undergraduate students.

For them, the Academy of Sciences was the end of their lives.

For engineering students like them, the best outcome of a lifetime of hard work might be retirement at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The man in front of them didn't look much older than them, but he was already a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, meaning he had avoided taking many detours.

Zhou Jiahao was incredibly jealous at the time.

The most outrageous thing is that this guy is also handsome, and he has the air of someone in a superior position in every gesture.

Isn't this exactly how I imagine myself when I look in the mirror?

In this state, she's already made the senior next to her blush with envy.

"Academy of Sciences? What's your major, senior?" Bai Huiyan's eyes lit up.

Zhou Ke smiled slightly, casually rolled up his sleeves, revealing his watch: "Aerospace."

Bai Huiyan was incredibly surprised when she saw the aerospace-specific watch: "Is this a watch used internally by the space agency? Senior, have you participated in any manned spaceflight projects?"

Zhou Ke: "I can only say that I have made some minor contributions."

Song Zhiyu couldn't help but expose him, saying, "Are you out here again, wearing your dad's watch to swindle people?"

"What do you mean by 'my dad's watch'?" Zhou Ke stretched out his arm. "It's a commemorative edition for researchers, different from the style my dad wears."

Song Zhiyu sneered: "Your father's influence is also a factor in your getting into the manned space program."

"Can you give me some face?"

Zhou Ke couldn't win the argument.

As childhood friends, Song Zhiyu has made similar attacks more than once or twice.

But he was completely helpless.

Because no one could compare to the Song family in terms of family background, he could only suffer in silence.

but.

He saw it as a humiliation, but Bai Huiyan saw it as nothing short of showing off.

There are two aerospace-specific watches inside the door?

What does this show?

This means that both the father and son are involved in aerospace projects.

Moreover, judging from what Teacher Song said, this senior's father is someone who holds a high position of power.

These days, it's already very difficult to find handsome male researchers; it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

I finally managed to snag one; the family is doing well.

The starting point is the finish line that others can only dream of.

If I could have a passionate and fulfilling romance with this senior, I'd be set for life.

Jiahao, standing to the side, couldn't help but snort coldly as he watched his senior pout.

I never knew that hard furnishings could make me feel so physically uncomfortable.

It's just a space watch, isn't it?

What's there to brag about?

We just confronted the USS Ronald Reagan, do you dare?

If it weren't for your father, you would be nothing.

but.

Although Jiahao was internally cursing, he dared not show it on the surface.

When facing Zhou Ke, he could only force a semi-permanent smile onto his face.

At this point, he started to miss Qin Ze.

If Brother Qin were here, he definitely wouldn't let this kid pretend; he would at least spit a yellow puddle on his face.
