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

Of course, Ji Bai was the only one in bed.

No, to be precise, it was just Ji Bai and a crumpled pillow that had been kicked into the corner.

"Damn it, they only set the fire, they don't put it out! How infuriating!"

Last night, the teacher wouldn't let him go upstairs no matter what he said.

She barely held his hand for a short while before pushing him out the door when they got downstairs, saying things like "Go home and rest early" and "Don't be so unruly all the time."

May I ask?

The table full of dishes she ordered included oysters, kidneys, chives, sea cucumber, and ox penis soup...

Is that for human consumption?

That's practically torture!

Ji Bai sat up in bed and scratched his hair in frustration.

My body feels sticky.

Logically speaking, this detached house built specifically for him should have a constant temperature and humidity 24 hours a day, and the fresh air system is of the same level as a hospital operating room, so the temperature and humidity are always in the most comfortable range.

It shouldn't be sticky on your body.

but……

To be honest, oysters priced at 188 yuan each are really top-notch.

That meat...

Pink and tender!

Plump!

full!

When you pick it up, it trembles like a piece of living, tender tofu.

When you gently poke it with chopsticks, it bounces back slightly; it's incredibly slippery.

When you put it in your mouth, the juice bursts between your teeth, filling your mouth with the fresh sweetness of the sea.

And the roasted chives...

The shape, the color, the tenderness after tasting it...

And abalone…

and many more!

abalone?

I don't think we ordered abalone yesterday!

Where did the abalone come from?

Ji Bai felt increasingly uneasy and shook his head violently.

"Damn it, I can't think about it anymore."

The young man threw back the covers and dragged his model-like, perfectly sculpted physique into the bathroom.

He just told the female researcher to wait thirty minutes, but actually it doesn't take that long to poop; he mainly wanted to take a shower.

Then change into a clean pair of underwear.

Turn on the shower, and hot water pours down, quickly filling the entire bathroom with steam.

Ji Bai leaned against the wall, head down, letting the hot water run down the back of his neck.

But the image of Li Mei from last night flashed uncontrollably through his mind.

She wore a beige jacket, and when the neckline was open, her collarbone, which was as white as jade, was exposed.

And the way she looked when she lowered her head to eat oysters, her lips slightly parted, slowly and gently sucking the oyster meat into her mouth.

And there was that soft moan she couldn't help but let out when he massaged her feet on the bench.

and also……

Stop! Stop!

Can't think any more!

Ji Bai quickly washed himself clean, wrapped himself in a bath towel, and took out a clean pair of underwear from the closet to change into.

After getting everything ready, Ji Bai called Secretary Li.

Finally, at 10:15, Ji Bai met with everyone from the 7** Institute.

Ji Bai, wearing a vest, shorts, and flip-flops, pushed open the door to the reception room.

As soon as the door opened, more than a dozen pairs of eyes shot towards them.

Director Lu, who was sitting on the sofa with a teacup in his hand, looked up at the door when he heard the noise.

The boy was standing there.

No military uniform, no rank, no entourage.

He was wearing only a black T-shirt, casual pants, and flip-flops.

But whether it was psychological or not, Director Lu felt that the air in the entire reception room suddenly became heavy.

Mathematical genius!

The father of superconductivity!

Each of these titles alone is enough to command respect from anyone.

But when they all fall on an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy at the same time, they become something... suffocating.

Director Lu has spent half his life working within the system and has met many important figures.

He knew that some people, you don't even need to talk to them, just standing in front of them makes you feel inferior.

This boy named Ji Bai belongs to this type of person.

Despite his simple and casual attire, his effortless demeanor made even the seasoned director, who was used to grand occasions, subconsciously tone down his airs.

As for Liu Guodong, Zhou Yongqiang, and the others, who had been waiting at the door with a belly full of anger, they all kept their mouths tightly shut at this moment.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it.

I dare not say it.

Even the moment Ji Bai walked in, some people instinctively stood up.

Only Qin Ye remained leaning against the corner of the sofa, arms crossed, trying his best to maintain that aloof demeanor.

But her gaze had already drifted uncontrollably toward the boy's face.

Especially those eyes, which seemed to hold even greater wisdom than his grandfather's.

No, no!

Qin also mentally shook his head.

What am I thinking?

How could anyone be wiser than Grandpa!

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Ji Bai walked in and apologized first.

Having lived two lives, I still understand the ways of the world.

Moreover, he had just heard from Secretary Li that these people arrived at six in the morning and had been waiting until now, which was really hard on them.

An apology made everyone present feel inexplicably better.

After all, the boy could have simply not said that.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. Ji Bai is truly a young hero!"

Lu Weiguo stood up with a smile and took the initiative to greet him.

At the same time, I felt relieved; this boy was easier to deal with than I had imagined.

At least, they didn't put on that cold, unapproachable face.

"Ji Bai, let me introduce myself. I am the director of the Seventh Institute. My surname is Lu. You can call me Lao Lu."

Lu Weiguo adopted a very humble attitude.

"These are all our institute's elite members. When they heard yesterday that they could meet Ji Bai, they all rushed to sign up!"

"The higher-ups didn't allow so many people to come, saying they were afraid of disturbing you. We streamlined and streamlined, and finally only selected these dozen or so people."

Ji Bai smiled and said, "It's truly an honor for you all to see me!"

The entire reception room fell silent for a second after those words were spoken.

Everyone's lips twitched simultaneously.

No, buddy, you...

Is it really that crazy?

To be polite, our director asked, "Why are you still climbing the ranks?"

Chen Zhe almost lost his composure and quickly lowered his head to pretend to cough.

Qin Ye's eyebrows had already stood up.

This person is shameless!

The anger I had just suppressed almost surged up again.

Before they could react, Ji Bai added with a smile, "Just kidding. It's my honor to meet you seniors who are deeply rooted in the front line of the military industry."

Having casually reaped a paltry amount of shock points, he didn't mince words, immediately taking his seat in the main seat, his expression instantly turning serious:

"Alright, everyone's come all this way, so just tell me what's wrong. I'll do my best to help if I can!"

Director Lu and the others exchanged glances, all seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

This boy, aside from being a bit eccentric, seemed... much easier to talk to than they had imagined.

As for breaking away... it doesn't matter, there are a few weirdos in the institute too.

Geniuses are always different from others.

"Since Ji Bai is so straightforward, then we won't beat around the bush."

Director Lu stood up and gestured for everyone to move the several combination lock boxes they had brought to the table.

"This time, we brought technical problems that have been troubling the institute for more than ten or twenty years, involving multiple fields such as phased array radar, electronic countermeasures, high-energy lasers, and electromagnetic compatibility."

"Does the above mean they would like you to take a look?"
