Bai Lang nodded and said, "Well, I also need you to talk frankly, Aina. All I know about you before is your simple transcript, and the rest is our daily contact. I want to know what specific areas you are good at, or what tasks do you plan to be responsible for in the future research institute?"
It was the first time she saw a confident smile on the face of this shy film girl.
"Ms. Olicia, my specialty is the field of Originium, and I am a little more familiar with this area than others. Before, I had guessed that since our company's main business is Originium mining, in this case, the purpose of establishing a research institute should be threefold: geological survey, pure Originium research, or Originium dynamics. I don't know if my guess is correct, but I can do the latter two projects."
That's enough, White Wolf thought. Originium dynamics is a branch of the field of source energy, and Aina's expertise just fits her needs. She wanted to tell her about her envisioned project, and then she heard Aina say other news.
"Ms. Olicia, I also called a friend over. She has sent a message and is downstairs now."
"Your friend? Of course you are welcome." White Wolf said happily.
Aina said shyly, "Well, maybe she just came to take a look. I can't guarantee what she thinks."
White Wolf nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "I see. What's her name?"
"Ceylon."
"Ceylon, a nice name." White Wolf commented casually, "This name sounds familiar, I think I've heard it somewhere."
"It's very similar to the name of Miss Ke Lan we found before." Qin Liu, who was sorting documents, suddenly looked up and said.
It is somewhat similar, Bai Lang thought, but Ke Lan’s name was probably remembered incorrectly…
Her pupils shrank, and she suddenly thought of a possibility, but she didn't dare to believe it. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? It was probably just a similar name.
But she changed her mind and felt that this might be true. It couldn't even be considered a coincidence. The person Miss Lin recommended to her was a recent graduate of the National University's Source Stone Department. Every year, the total number of graduates from the Source Stone Department was around two hundred, so the range was not large. This basically meant that it was her.
She was still evaluating the accuracy of her guess when she suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the door. It was a gentle and polite voice.
"Hello, is this the recruitment office of Ice Stone Mining?"
Oliver's muffled voice also came into the room: "Yes, our person in charge is in the room, please come in."
"Thank you."
When Bailang saw Aina, he ran over in surprise, grabbed the person who came in, and kept introducing her.
"Ceylon, you're here. Let me tell you something. This is Miss Olicia, and that is Miss Qin Liu."
Ceylon felt very confused. She remembered that when they were talking on the phone, Ina was about to cry, but why did she look so happy when they met?
She guessed that the cell phone signal was not good and the sound she heard was a bit wrong, which led her to make a wrong judgment. But now that she was here, she could proceed with the things she had considered before. She followed Aina's instructions, greeted the two people in the room, and then turned her eyes to Miss Olicia, whom she had heard of but never met.
She had heard about it because of Miss Lin's letter. She knew a long time ago that a Miss Olicia was coming.
As for never meeting...
Ceylon suddenly realized, wasn't this Miss Rupert whom she saw at the small pond downstairs that day?
The scene at that time is still fresh in her memory: the other party looked lost for some unknown reason and even fell down in front of her. She mistakenly thought that Miss Rupert wanted to jump into the pond because of emotional problems, so she made sure that she did not have such motive before leaving.
Volume 4: Chapter 138 Ceylon's Decision
Ceylon speculated that the last time they met, the distraught Miss Olicia could not have noticed her appearance because she was staring at the ground the whole time. So, for Miss Olicia, this should be the first time they met.
She felt a little relieved.
This kind of thing is definitely a black history for a top executive of a company. If Miss Olicia knew that she had seen her like that, things might become very embarrassing.
But it's really strange to say. She met Miss Olicia before Aina went for the test, and knew her name before the test. According to this line of thinking, she actually knew her earlier than Aina.
Ceylon looked at Miss Olicia, who was wearing a neat white shirt and looked like a professional elite. His mind couldn't help but think of the listless Miss Rupert when he first met her, and he found her very interesting.
She smiled and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, Miss Olicia, nice to meet you. I'm Ceylon Dolkos, you can call me Ceylon."
"Hello, Miss Ceylon." After hearing the other party's last name, Bai Lang was sure that this was the top student recommended by Miss Lin. She began to think hard about how to leave a good impression on the other party, but when shaking hands, she suddenly realized that she was still wearing the pair of white gloves that Miss Lin gave her.
In Victoria, it is considered impolite to shake hands with others while wearing gloves in formal situations.
As a 'foreigner', it was difficult for Bai Lang to fully understand Victorian etiquette. The gloves were something she thought of at the last minute, but it was too late to save the situation.
After shaking hands, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to start.
Ceylon saw Olisia's embarrassment, and after a little thought, she guessed what the problem was, but as a Xiosta, she did not feel offended.
She deliberately didn't mention the matter of etiquette, and instead asked curiously, "Are Olicia's gloves the same style as Miss Lin's?"
"Yeah." Bai Lang's eyes lit up. She knew Xilan had received Lin Yuxia's letter. "She gave it to me when I was in Longmen."
Qin Liu on the side raised his head in confusion and looked at Ceylon carefully. Aina widened her eyes and began to find it difficult to understand.
Ceylon couldn't help but laugh and said, "She treasures her gloves very much. I saw in her letter before that her friend was coming to Victoria. I thought it was a business friend, but I didn't expect it to be a friend."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Bai Lang suddenly thought of something else. Bingshi Mining was indeed cooperating with the Rat King, but it was done secretly, and the Rat King had more than just underground industries. If Bingshi Mining had other business operations, could he consider open commercial cooperation with the other party?
She thought for a moment and said seriously, "We have helped each other a lot in the past. In fact, in my plan, Bingshi Mining will also seek business cooperation with Miss Lin in the future."
Ceylon's thoughts also turned to business cooperation.
She suddenly remembered that her acquaintance with Miss Lin was related to a business cooperation. At that time, she was still young. When she was playing at a music festival in her hometown, she accidentally met Lin Yuxia, who was about her age, and the two became friends from then on. She only found out later that Lin Yuxia came with the Rat King at that time, and she didn't know what business the parents of both parties were discussing.
When she was a child, she hated business cooperation very much. Her father would not pay attention to her when he was busy. But as she grew older, she gradually understood things and knew the heavy responsibility her father shouldered. For the long-term development of Xiosta, someone must consider some things.
She thought of other things in her hometown. A few years ago, she heard her father complain about the soaring price of REM Billiton's raw ore. Miss Olicia's Ice Stone Mining is also a mining company. She wondered if there was any possibility of cooperation.
Ceylon felt her arm being tapped twice. She turned around and saw Aina with a puzzled look on her face. She guessed that she was confused about her relationship with Miss Olicia. She smiled and explained, "Some time ago, I received a letter from a friend who recommended Ice Stone Mining to me and said that Miss Olicia would come to the college to see me."
Bai Lang also added to Ceylon's words: "It's Miss Lin we just talked about. When I was in Ursus, she recommended Miss Ceylon to me."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Ina nodded thoughtfully, and then asked curiously, "This is the first time you two have met. Didn't Miss Olicia go to find Ceylon after she came here?"
Bai Lang's expression froze. This question was not easy to answer. She intuitively felt that she had to express her respect for Miss Ceylon.
She looked at Aina, then at Ceylon who was looking at her in confusion because of Aina's question, and explained unfluently: "I originally planned to contact Miss Ceylon as soon as possible, but this was my first time in Victoria, and I was unfamiliar with the place. I only had time to take a look around the academy, and then I heard that the Originium Academy was about to hold an assessment. I estimated that everyone might go to the assessment site, so I followed Miss Qin Liu's relationship. Qin Liu is a former graduate of the Royal Guard Academy."
Qin Liu nodded solemnly as a witness. In fact, she was with Olicia in all the actions and was fully aware of the inside story. She found that although what Miss Olicia said was correct, it was problematic when she thought about it carefully.
The other party's words implied that 'time was very tight at the beginning and there was no time to look for Ceylon', but the actual situation was that time was not tight. Miss Olicia even spent an entire afternoon looking for him, but she just remembered the name wrong and therefore did not find him.
She easily deduced that if she told Ceylon that she had remembered the wrong name, Ceylon would definitely be unhappy. If she lied and said that she didn't look for him, it would seem that she didn't value him. That was why Miss Olicia was deliberately vague and even misled others.
So cunning! Qin Liu stared at Olicia's profile without blinking. The feeling of seeing through her little thoughts made her feel a strong and strange excitement in her heart. This excitement stimulated something else. Her eyes moved up and down from Miss Olicia's face, and her eyes became abnormal.
I have to say that Bai Lang's explanation is quite reasonable, and the follow-up is also easy to infer. As soon as she came back from the assessment point, she started to organize the recruitment meeting without stopping, and of course she had no time to look for Miss Ceylon.
Ceylon also felt that it was really boring to think about these things. Since he had already communicated with Lin Yuxia through letters, Miss Olicia would definitely look for her first when she had time. The question now was whether he should go to Bingshi Mining?
In fact, she already had the answer. With the dual factors of Miss Lin and Aina in the first place, and Xiosta being in need of a mining company to cooperate with, she could go to Bingshi Mining to see if she could help her father.
Without considering these objective conditions, the factor that directly made her make the decision was actually very strange. That was that she suddenly discovered that she had read Miss Olicia's "dark history", and the other party was completely unaware of it. This made her have a strange sense of trust in Miss Olicia.
Of course, Miss Ceylon would not admit such a thing. She insisted that her decision was based on pure objective rationality and there was no emotional factor involved.
Volume 4: Chapter 139 Dangerous Topics
Ceylon had an idea in mind, so he asked White Wolf:
"Ms. Olicia, I'm actually more interested in the research project of Ice Stone Mining, but I heard from Aina that the research institute has not been completed yet?"
Bai Lang felt that Miss Ceylon seemed to be interested, so he explained sincerely: "Yes, I can only provide funds, but I can't be sure what equipment or materials need to be purchased. So now the institute is just an empty building except for the infrastructure."
This is not difficult, Ceylon thought. Since she had been considering returning to her hometown to set up a research institute, she specially compiled a list of necessary basic materials. If she went to Ice Stone Mining, she would just have to give the list to Miss Olicia.
She suddenly realized that whether she went back to Xiosta or to Ice Stone Mining, what she had to do was exactly the same, which was to establish a research institute first and then cooperate with Aina in research.
What a wonderful coincidence, Ceylon thought, nodding and saying, "I know more about the preliminary preparations for setting up a research institute. I can write a list of materials later. However, the materials on the list are the basic items that any research institute needs. As for the main equipment, we still have to see what we need."
"That's great. If there is any, we can prepare it immediately when we go back." Bai Lang said happily. Since Miss Ceylon said so, it seems that she has agreed to join, and some things can be made public.
She glanced over Aina and Ceylan, cleared her throat and said, "In fact, a preliminary research plan already exists."
Dang Dang Dang.
Oliver suddenly knocked on the door and led two people in. White Wolf turned his gaze and looked at the two people behind Oliver.
The last person was Bo Lu, whom she knew. He was waving quietly at her. In front of Bo Lu was Fei Lin, who had a serious expression and was wearing a special red uniform. Bai Lang had read a lot of news recently and recognized that the other person's clothes belonged to the uniforms of the Source Stone Art Research Association's 'Fox Tail'.
She immediately guessed the identity of the visitor. It should be Miss Tianhuo, whom she intended to recruit. However, according to her plan, she wanted to wait until the academy recruitment was over before contacting Miss Tianhuo through Aina or Bo Lu. The other party's sudden visit now really caught her off guard.
"Ms. Olivia, this is Miss Tianhuo, and the one behind is Miss Bolu. They both said they wanted to come over to look for Ina." Oliver said honestly, and then he stepped back and observed everyone with a sharp gaze.
When Miss Olicia first saw the Skyfire, she was shocked for a moment, but now she has concealed it well.
Qin Liu showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but he didn't know why.
Miss Ina, who came to the interview first, was obviously flustered. She kept tapping the corner of the table with her right hand. Considering that Tianhuo came here to find Ina, he speculated that Miss Ina might have done something wrong.
Finally, it was Miss Ceylon, who was called by Ina. She smiled and acted calm and composed, like a young lady from an aristocratic family.
Oliver was now very curious about the relationship between these people. He just wanted to watch the show and planned to stay in the corner of the room and not go out.
He noticed that Miss Skyfire had focused her eyes on Ina since she entered the room, and after Miss Ina greeted Skyfire, she lowered her head and said nothing.
The first person to take action was Miss Olivia. From Oliver's perspective, he could see her taking off her gloves and putting them on the table beside her, then taking two steps forward to shake hands with Skyfire. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or not, but Miss Olivia just blocked Skyfire's line of sight from staring at Ina.
"It turns out to be Miss Tianhuo." Bailang said with a smile, "I have heard Aina and Bolu talk about you many times. Today I finally see you in person."
She is indeed very beautiful, but her figure is actually very average, Tianhuo thought. She shook hands a little stiffly and asked, "Hello, Miss Olicia, do Aina and Bo Lu often talk about me?"
Aina and Bo Lu shuddered when their names were mentioned. They had indeed talked about Tianhuo in front of Olicia, but everyone was very relaxed at that time and most of what they said were complaints. They could never have imagined that Miss Olicia would talk about these things in front of Tianhuo one day. For this reason, the nervous Bo Lu even winked at Bailang behind Tianhuo.
"Of course." Bai Lang seemed not to notice Bo Lu's expression. She blinked and said to herself, "They both like you very much. They said that you easily obtained a double degree in geology and Originium geology. You are also a high-level warlock certified by the Originium Art Research Association. You were a legend at the National University before graduation."
"Really?" Tianhuo hummed happily twice, but felt that he couldn't act too proud, so he quickly said, "That was all in the past, not worth mentioning at all. Only Aina and Bo Lu would bring it up."
Seeing Tianhuo's expression, Bailang knew that her first move was absolutely correct. When she was still in the natural disaster assessment area, she had inferred from Aina and Bo Lu's description of Tianhuo that the two of them were both close to Tianhuo, but also slightly afraid of him, a bit like a younger sister facing an older sister.
Under such circumstances, she used Aina and Bolu's words to praise Tianhuo, which was definitely a sure win. At least, now it seemed that Tianhuo, Aina, and Bolu were all very happy. Besides, she didn't lie. Aina and Bolu complained, but they also seriously praised their sister Tianhuo.
While Tianhuo was happy, she still remembered the main thing. She came here to bring Ina back. Although she felt that Miss Olisia was a good person and this behavior did not seem very kind, she still had to do it.
Before she could explain her purpose, she heard Miss Olicia speak again: "Miss Tianhuo, you are so modest. I saw your name in the newspaper once and searched for it. I found out that what Aina Bolu said was right. You reminded me of someone."
"Who?" Tianhuo asked subconsciously.
"Ms. Eyjafjalla from William University." Bai Lang was always paying attention to Tianhuo's expression. As she wished, she saw the obvious shock on her face and realized that she had made the right bet.
According to the information provided by Bo Lu, Miss Tianhuo has always been targeting Miss Ayafara, who graduated in the same year but was famous for a while.
Bailang could probably guess how Skyfire felt about Eyjafjalla. The two were both regarded as scientific geniuses, and their main research areas were both Originium geology. In addition, they graduated in the same year, so they would definitely be compared by others. This comparison was problematic, as Eyjafjalla's scientific research achievements and reputation were obviously better. Since Miss Skyfire was always paying attention to her, she must have been very angry.
Bai Lang knew that she was bringing up a dangerous topic, but this topic was the best plan she had thought of to recruit Miss Tianhuo.
Volume 4: Chapter 140 Research Plan
"Do you know Miss Eyjafjalla?" Tianhuo asked with an unnatural expression.
White Wolf nodded. "Yes, Miss Eyjafjalla left a deep impression on me. I rarely admire anyone, but she is definitely a researcher worthy of admiration."
"She is indeed amazing." Tianhuo nodded. She was very curious about how the CEO of a company was connected with such a talented researcher. "How did Miss Olicia know her?"
"It's a lot of coincidences," White Wolf recalled. "I met Miss Eyjafjalla a long time ago, but our first communication was at a research conference in Rhodes Island. At that time, Miss Eyjafjalla gave a lecture. Although I'm an outsider, I really appreciate some of her ideas. If they can be implemented, the energy problem of Terra can be alleviated to a certain extent. So I went to communicate with Miss Eyjafjalla for a while."
After Bai Lang finished speaking, not only Tianhuo, but also Aina, Ceylon and others who were listening became alert. For researchers like them, this topic was as attractive as directly releasing poison.
Tianhuo really wanted to know what the idea was, but she was too embarrassed to ask. In her anxiety, she suddenly heard Aina say, "Ms. Olicia, what is your idea? Can you tell me?"
Well done! As expected of his sister, Tianhuo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Aina with excitement and satisfaction.
"It's nothing, actually. I was going to say it anyway." White Wolf acted indifferent, with a faint smile on his face, "Because this is the first research plan of Ice Stone Mining."
So that's how it is. Oliver let out a long sigh and looked at Miss Olivia with deep emotion. It turned out that the person that Ms. Kal'tsit valued could not be just a pretty face. This move was indeed beautifully made.
His eyes found Jenny in the crowd and wanted to make eye contact with her, but he found that she was staring at Olivia in a daze.
This girl is hopeless, he complained silently in his heart.
At this moment, Oliver suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a terrible thing. Miss Olicia came to Victoria to recruit employees. Based on Jenny's current condition, if she followed Miss Olicia...
Then how should he explain it?!
Although she is not an official member yet, Jenny is the person that Ms. Outcast values the most. If he loses her, it will not only be a problem that he cannot explain, but the guys at Shredder will definitely laugh at him.
A funny tragedy played out in his mind: Miss Jenny maintained a 100% mission success rate, but she completed the last recruitment mission at the cost of her own life. No matter what, it was considered a successful recruitment...
As a person who appears serious but actually likes to watch the show, Oliver never thought that one day, the melon would fall on his own head. This is really like drinking the water, only he knows whether it is hot or cold.
White Wolf looked around, seeing everyone's burning eyes, and felt a little surprised. She didn't expect that her plan for Miss Skyfire would be so attractive. She noticed from the corner of her eye that Oliver's face was a little dull, and guessed that he was caught off guard by the sudden topic of Rhodes Island.
She cleared her throat and calmly told the story: "In that meeting, Miss Eyjafjalla made an analysis report. Through comparative analysis, she found that the average utilization rate of the source energy of the Originium mines in various countries on Terra was maintained at around 60%. Everyone is doing Originium research, and you must know that after the source energy of the Originium mine is mostly consumed, it will become difficult to use due to crystal structure problems and energy diversion obstacles. The only solution is to purify it again. However, the re-purification of these things consumes a lot of energy, which is not worth the cost. Therefore, it can only become what everyone calls source energy waste."
"Ms. Eyjafjalla conducted a secondary analysis of the structure of the source energy waste and proved that the physical and chemical properties of these things are very similar to the 'low-purity ore' that is directly abandoned during the source stone mining process. So, she established a related mixed application model. Because I am not a related major, I don't understand the specific content, I only know that it is related to the secondary utilization of source energy. I personally think that if these materials can be used, the shortage of source energy may be alleviated, and there may be fewer tragedies caused by source stone mines."
