The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Lost your stockings?

The agent, Xu Jing, was typing an email on her laptop when she heard this, and her fingers paused on the keyboard.

His expression changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Losing things, especially personal items, is never a trivial matter for celebrities in the industry.

Who knows who took it? What are they going to do with it? Will it end up on some weird website in a few days?

"Lanlan, have we been robbed?"

Ye Lan held her teacup, gazing calmly at the river outside the window, and nodded with feigned composure: "Perhaps."

"This hotel's service is incredibly poor!"

Xu Jing slammed her laptop shut, her expression shifting from alertness to anger.

"If something like this happens in a five-star hotel, it's probably because the room cleaning staff didn't do their jobs properly."

"No! We have to call the police! Check the surveillance footage! I want to see who has the nerve to do this!"

"puff--"

Ye Lan almost spat out the tea she had just swallowed.

She quickly put down her teacup, grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth, and almost choked.

Call the police?

Check the surveillance footage?

What would happen if the surveillance footage were pulled up!

In the video, she is Ye Lan, a pop diva and the queen of the "Jade Girl" genre. She leaves home wearing stockings around 7 a.m. and returns at noon without them.

Then the police officer asked her where her stockings were, what did she say?

They said it was given away? They said it was used for a social experiment? They said it was taken by an 18-year-old to research polymer fiber materials?

"Never mind... never mind, let's just call the police!"

Ye Lan's voice was half an octave higher than usual, and her speech was half a beat faster.

She stood up from the sofa, walked over to Xu Jing, and gently pressed down the phone that Xu Jing had raised to her ear.

You must call the police!

"Lanlan, we can't just let this go!" Xu Jing refused to give up.

"If they dare to steal your stockings today, they'll dare to steal your lucky bag tomorrow! And the day after tomorrow, they'll dare to install a camera in your room..."

Xu Jing's words became increasingly outrageous.

Ye Lan couldn't listen anymore.

"Alright, alright, we have such a tight schedule, there's no time to call the police!"

"It's just a pair of stockings, it's not like it's anything valuable, forget it!"

Xu Jing looked at Ye Lan's determined expression, opened her mouth, and then closed it again.

She had followed Ye Lan for over ten years and knew the queen of pop's temperament well.

They seem easy to talk to normally, but once they make a decision, no one can change it.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, calling the police was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill. If paparazzi were to photograph "Ye Lan calling the police at a hotel in Fucheng," they might fabricate some outrageous news stories.

"Pop star's stockings mysteriously disappear; police launch investigation!"

This title alone is enough to trend on social media for three days.

"Alright then."

Xu Jing put her phone back in her pocket, turned to stare at her assistant with sharp eyes, and began to assign rectification tasks.

"From now on, we'll get a new suitcase with a combination lock and lock all of Lanlan's personal clothing in a separate box. We'll check them twice a day, morning and evening."

"Remember, from now on, you must keep a close eye on every single piece of Lanlan's underwear!"

The assistant nodded earnestly, took out her phone, and started typing rapidly in the notes app, muttering to herself as she typed:

"Combination lock suitcase...checked twice daily...underwear given extra protection..."

Ye Lan, who was listening nearby, suddenly added:

"Oh, and I'll buy a few more pairs of stockings too."

"Okay, Sister Lan, is it still flesh-colored?" The assistant looked up, her finger hovering above the phone screen, ready to take a note.

Ye Lan was silent for a second.

She coughed softly, as if clearing her throat, or perhaps to bolster her courage.

"Hmm... I'll buy a few of each of the black and gray ones, and... something with lace trim, basically all kinds of styles!"

The assistant was typing in her memo app with her head down, muttering to herself, "Black stockings, gray stockings, lace stockings... all kinds of stockings. Okay, Sister Lan, I've written them all down."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing looked suspicious: "Lanlan, don't you like wearing black stockings? Didn't you say, 'I don't need to wear black stockings to please men'?"

Ye Lan's face flushed, but she forced herself to raise her chin and said matter-of-factly, "Who said I have to please men? Don't we women have the freedom to dress as we please? Can't we dress in a different style?"

"Sure, sure, of course!"

Xu Jing smiled and waved her hand, assuming that she had suddenly wanted to change her look, without thinking anything of it.

Indeed, who is Ye Lan?

With a powerful background and high status, she has suitors from all over the city; when has she ever needed to curry favor with anyone?

It is absolutely impossible.

I just wanted to wear black stockings!

Just imagining Ye Lan's perfect long legs in black stockings, even Xu Jing, being a woman herself, couldn't help but feel excited.

……

The next day.

Ji Bai can finally sleep until he naturally wakes up.

[Ding! Daily selection has started! Do you want to turn it on?]

Ahhhhh!

Brainwashing with demonic sounds!

It's like every time I'm about to quit, I see a pretty girl on a short video.

Making things worse!

Ji Bai was immediately caught in a dilemma.

"This is the last time, I swear it's the last time! Then I'll quit, no, I'll just save up for ten days!"

"System, activate!"

"Use the option to specify the card and material type!"

[Ding! Designation successful! Options refreshed!]

If you had 100 yuan, how would you spend it?

1. Complete technical route for room temperature superconductivity (fragment 9/10) (80 yuan)

2. Complete Technology Roadmap for Lithium-Air Batteries (Fragment 1/5) (50 Yuan)

3. Complete formula for a new type of solid electrolyte (50 yuan)

4. Complete undergraduate, master's, and doctoral knowledge system in polymer materials and engineering (10 yuan)

5. Proficiency in Molecular Dynamics Simulation (10 yuan)

6. Your mentor is always calm and composed during group meetings (10 yuan)

……

"I choose 1, 4, and 5!"

The next second, three streams of information flooded into my mind at the same time.

The ninth piece was precisely fitted into the penultimate gap in the puzzle of superconductivity theory.

This section discusses the mechanism by which superconducting thin films maintain quantum coherence at room temperature.

How to enhance electron pairing energy by controlling lattice vibration modes, how to maintain the coherence length of Cooper pairs under normal pressure, and how to suppress the damage of thermal fluctuations to superconducting order parameters.

Next comes the complete undergraduate, master's, and doctoral knowledge system of polymer materials and engineering.

Kinetic models for all polymerization reactions, from free radical polymerization to condensation polymerization, and from ring-opening polymerization to coordination polymerization, have been incorporated.

Plastics, rubber, fibers, coatings, adhesives, composites...

The molecular structure, processing technology, and performance testing standards of the six major categories of polymer materials are all fully explained.

Finally, mastery of molecular dynamics simulations.

Unlike the previous two, it did not cram knowledge into him, but rather endowed him with an almost intuitive computational perception.

LJ potential, Coulomb potential, bond stretching potential, angular bending potential, dihedral torsion potential...

He can type out a complete workflow from modeling to data analysis with his eyes closed, at least three times more efficient than the average PhD in computational materials science.

Cool!

awesome!

Ji Bai lay on his back on the bed, limbs outstretched, staring at the familiar water stains on the ceiling, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning upwards.

I wish I could do it again!
