"Sareya, how do you know about this child?"

"…To be precise, it wasn't me. It was a Longmen person whom Muerseth had met before."

"Well, she's from Longmen too, right?"

Saria nodded.

Although the student records cannot be shown to anyone casually, if the promising Rhine Life wants to check, Tremont Institute of Technology will definitely not deliberately make things difficult for her. After all, they are still recruiting students under the name of Christen.

Christen had no interest in the man from Longmen. All her attention was on Snow Pheasant... Perhaps because her passing score was just barely enough, the girl standing on the edge of the podium looked a little depressed.

After more than half an hour, the research report meeting ended successfully, and the students took their materials and prepared to leave the auditorium.

Xue Zhi was the only one who did not plan to leave. It was not because she was severely excluded, but because she wanted to check what she had done wrong.

Even Saria had to nod secretly at this effort.

Muir Seth...Perhaps we should thank the Longmen man named Chongxiao.

"Come on, Saria, let's go take a look."

Christen stood up and walked to the first row of the auditorium, where Xuezhi was working with the information he had collected with his head down.

In more than a year, the girl only returned home once, and spent the rest of the time studying.

The exclusion and discrimination that Chongxiao had anticipated did exist, but it did not rise to a level that deserved attention. Tremont Polytechnic Institute's target of enrollment was this land, so naturally it had already taken precautions against problems in this regard.

Compared to her nationality, her petite and thin figure were more eye-catching, so much so that many of her classmates doubted her real age.

Christen, who seemed to be doing nothing, had already found out all this in secret.

"Hmm... Why do the instructors think this is a deduction? Let the efficiency converter exist in the form of a force field, use the Originium technique to deduce and finalize Desla's theorem, and then use VED to reduce the volume. Wouldn't it be possible to add more lines and protection..."

"Because they only know how to sit in their offices and think about problems based on the knowledge left by their predecessors."

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

Startled by the sudden sound next to his ear, Xuezhi almost fell off the chair in the auditorium.

Fortunately, the quick-witted Saria supported her in time...

"Hello, Snow Pheasant."

"Um...um...I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! My mentor!"

Kristen smiled slightly, "I'm not a tutor, but... I do have a professor title here."

The snow pheasant was slightly startled and raised its head.

She did not recognize Kristen. Although she was the pride and face of Tremont Polytechnic Institute, the girl who was devoted to her studies only knew that she was a respectable scientist and did not remember what she looked like.

"I just read your research report."

Kristen picked up the thick materials in the girl's hand. In addition to the formal submissions, the materials were full of draft formulas and design drawings. "It's very thoughtful and feasible. It's really rare."

"Thank you...thank you."

The snow pheasant's little face quickly turned red and its head lowered.

Since Xue Zhi had received Longmen education before coming to Tremont Polytechnic Institute, which was incompatible with Columbia in many ways, and because his professional field mainly relied on talent rather than experience, his ideas were always evaluated by professors and classmates as being too unrealistic and lacking in practical foundation.

As a student, she had no capital to experiment and test her own design, so she was eager to prove herself and attended the research and study meeting a year in advance.

The result was a barely passing score... which was not enough for Snow Pheasant.

"Students of this college need internship certificates from institutions in related fields before they can graduate. Which one did you apply to?"

"Yes...Connor Cybernetic, mentor."

"Well, what's their response?"

“No reply yet.”

Hearing this, Kristen smiled.

"Don't wait. That company can't even guarantee the repair of its own products."

She reached out and placed her hand on the girl's shoulder. "Xuezhi, I'm Kristen Wright, the general manager of Rhine Life. If you have no objection, I hope you can come to the Rhine Life Components Department for internship next week."

Chapter 117 The grown-up Ajiu is awesome!

An intentional injury incident occurred in the Longmen infection area.

In the eyes of the Guards' Infected Task Force, this incident was no big deal... It was caused by a new infected person who lacked trust in the Shihuaiya Group and wanted to break into the ore processing plant to "save" his compatriots, but ended up injuring two security guards.

It has to be said that those who escaped from Ursus more or less have this problem. After all, the mines there are no different from the prisons holding death row prisoners.

The outcome of the incident was also very simple. Red, who arrived in time, knocked the manic Ursus man unconscious with a knife, then asked the security guard who was not seriously injured to handcuff him, and he took the unfortunate guy with a broken bone to the hospital.

He found that he had become more and more adapted to the work of the police, and was becoming more and more adept at dealing with those newcomers who wanted to cause trouble.

Of course, the reverse-edged knife in hand also made it much easier to attack...it wasn't that easy to kill someone anyway.

But now Red also has a problem that he doesn't know how to solve.

That was Lady Audrey.

Before Chongxiao left, he asked the other party to teach him Yan Guoyu and arranged a place for him to live, which led to the two of them living together basically day and night.

So for Reid, who hadn't had a girlfriend for more than 20 years, the charm displayed by the gentle, kind, beautiful and delicate aristocratic widow was basically fatal...

Even though she was several years older than himself, even though she already had a daughter who was almost ten years old, even though she was once the daughter of an aristocrat no matter how poor she was, it was wrong for her to end up with a lower-class person like himself.

The self-abased Red did not realize that he was now the backbone of the Guards' task force, a high-ranking official in the infected area in a sense, and could not be considered a low-level person in any way.

As for the issue of oripathy… He himself was infected, so how could he possibly despise Lady Audrey and her daughter…

"Officer, aren't we going to the hospital?"

"Huh? Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Um... I remember I should turn in from here..."

The security guard with a broken forearm looked at Red pitifully, trying to figure out how to speak so as not to offend him.

The embarrassed infected police officer coughed twice deliberately, then turned and walked forward.

Thanks to the investment of the Shihuaiya Group in the ore processing plant and the dedication of the infected people led by Mrs. Audrey, a large number of simple buildings have been erected in the infected area. They are not exquisite or comfortable, but at least they can provide the infected people with a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The infected task force, which was transformed from a temporary patrol team, also successfully curbed the endless criminal incidents in the area... In fact, the underworld forces commanded by Lin Yuxia also played a significant role in this regard, as a way to invest in the ore processing plant business.

As for the most fundamental basis, that is, the ore processing site proposed by Chongxiao, this is indeed a win-win solution.

Relying on the infected people's sensitivity to the ore, the accuracy of mineral processing has been improved by more than ten percentage points. Coupled with the huge profits in the luxury mining industry... I believe that the Shihuaiya Group will soon be able to recover its investment and enter the profit stage.

In this situation, there are not many infected people who still hold resentment. After all, if they can have a relatively stable job to support their family, who would have the mind to raise the banner of resistance and cause trouble for the authorities?

Carrying the injured security guard, Red walked into the hospital for the infected and prepared to ask if the orthopedic doctor was available.

However, in the waiting area in the corridor, he saw a figure he had not seen for a long time.

"... Chongxiao!?"

"Oh, isn't this Red?"

Zhongxiao, who seemed to be taking it easy, immediately stood up, walked quickly to Reid, and patted him on the shoulder. "It's been a year since we last met. You've become a lot more stable!"

This is of course true. The worlds that a guard who deals with wild beasts all day long in the village and a police officer in a large mobile city like Lungmen can come into contact with are completely two different concepts. Therefore, Red had long since shed his original stubborn recklessness.

"You...when did you come back?"

"Just now, I just passed the checkpoint half an hour ago."

So you're heading to the infected area as soon as you get back?

Red couldn't help but feel a little strange.

As a regular police officer of the Guard Bureau, he had met Xingxiong and Texas several times, and even heard rumors from his colleagues that most of the female police officers in the Special Inspection Team had unclear relationships with someone.

Why didn't you go to the headquarters first after you came back, but came to the infected area?

"You look like you doubt me, Red."

"A little bit indeed."

Reid signaled the security guard to go find an orthopedic doctor himself, while he started chatting with Chongxiao.

To be more precise, he was asking what he was doing in the past year or so without showing up...

But before he could say a few words, the door of a nearby consulting room was pushed open, and the doctor came out.

"Doctor, how is the situation?"

"I'm so sorry, Inspector Chongxiao, I... I really can't see what's wrong with this lady..."

This lady?

Reid couldn't help but make a disdainful expression towards Chongxiao's back.

In addition to the female police officers from the Special Inspection Team, some tabloids that specialize in skirting the rules also said that Chongxiao had an unclear relationship with the director and the heroine of the movie for which he was the screenwriter, and that he was photographed acting with the eldest daughter of the Shi Huaiya Group, but the rumors had only died down in the past year due to the absence of the "protagonist".

As a simple and honest person, Red really cannot agree with this kind of behavior.

But those "real people" didn't say anything, so why should I make trouble...

The doctor who had just walked out felt very guilty and kept apologizing to Chongxiao. It took him two full minutes to go back.

Then, a Sarkaz with long flowing hair walked out.

Red frowned. Ursus had always been one of the mortal enemies of the Sarkaz. After he disappeared, he also heard Mayor Kamarov talk about many evil deeds of the Sarkaz. Naturally, he did not have a good impression of them.

"Let me introduce you. This is Red, my colleague. This is Leia, the victim I saved."

"Hello, Mr. Reid."

"……Hello."

This Sarkaz's personality is somewhat different from the ones I've seen before... A similar thought flashed through Red's mind, and then it was thrown out of his mind.

"By the way, how is Madam Audrey doing lately?"

“Why…why are you asking this all of a sudden!?”

What you fear will come true. If there is someone that Red is most reluctant to let know his little secret, it must be Chongxiao. After all, it was this guy who asked Lady Audrey to take care of him.

The sudden rise in tone made Chongxiao a little puzzled, but at this moment he didn't think about it that way at all.

"Of course it's to find a place for Leia to live. Is that weird?"

"Uh, no…no!"

After saying that, Reid was afraid that Chongxiao might notice something, so he continued hurriedly: "I can take this lady to find Audrey... Madam, Chongxiao, you just came back, don't you have to report to the headquarters earlier?"

This time it was Chongxiao's turn to frown.

As the saying goes, there is something fishy going on here. Red's self-incrimination clearly shows that there is something fishy going on.

But before he could think about it, he felt a warm and soft hand holding him.

It was Leia. She had lost her memories and was now truly alone. She definitely didn’t want to be separated from herself.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Audrey can definitely take good care of you."

After ruffling the Sarkaz girl's hair, Chongxiao turned to look at Red, whose mouth was twitching. "Since you volunteered, I'll leave it to you. Remember to say hello to Madam Audrey for me and tell her that I'm back at Longmen."

……

Chongxiao is back.

After hearing the news, Jiu threw away the pen and the unfinished action report in her hand and rushed out of the office like the wind, shocking the young police officer who came to inform her of the news.

The young police officer who had only been on the job for two months never imagined that his usually mature and steady superior would actually have such a side to him.

As for Ajiu who was running at lightning speed in the corridor, just as she was hesitating whether to wait for the elevator or run directly up the stairs, she suddenly noticed that the elevator had arrived at this floor.

Immediately afterwards, Chongxiao, carrying a long sword and luggage, walked out chatting and laughing with Jiaju, who had just returned to the headquarters.

"Really? So what's the dormitory like now...Xiaojiu?"

"Chongxiao!"

Policewoman Feidia rushed forward and grabbed someone by the collar, "You still remember to come back!?"

"……what?"

“What?!”
