Chapter 706: 279 strong collaboration, master-level arrangement (Chapter 3)
Ding Wenyang sighed, “It still has to be the chief disciple.”
Bai Lian held a cloak in her hand, not wearing it; seeing the car parked outside, she recently spent time in the piano room late into the evening, so she hardly went back to the dorm.
She didn’t go back today either.
In the driver’s seat, Jiang Fulai’s hands were crossed and resting on the steering wheel, the interior light casting deep and distinct features, always dressed in a cold, color-coordinated style.
Exquisite and lazy, meticulously handsome.
Bai Lian’s mood lifted considerably at the sight.
As she got into the car, Jiang Fulai casually tapped the steering wheel, a nearly imperceptible frown showing his dissatisfaction with the time she left the laboratory, “What’s keeping the freshmen so late?”
Even in his own laboratory, He Wen and the others were recently busy with a new project and had only just left.
“A project on extracting uranium from seawater,” Bai Lian said as she buckled her seatbelt, eyes downcast.
“They can refine that? Must cost a pretty penny. Can they even produce new materials,” Mister Jiang couldn’t help but scoff.
The laboratories provided to the freshmen by the school were all part of the experimental center; accustomed to top-tier laboratories, Jiang Fulai seldom found these facilities impressive – most of the projects seemed quite superficial.
Bai Lian gave him a deep, meaningful look.
“Of course, that’s them,” Jiang Fulai spoke calmly again, “Have you heard of hydrazine hydrate cellulose?”
Though Jiang Fulai didn’t research this area, he had attended some lectures and could offer a few suggestions. He started the car and headed off-campus, discussing the project topic with Bai Lian.
As the headlights switched on,
snowflakes began to flutter down from the sky suddenly and in large clumps.
Leaning against the car door, her finger lazily propping up her chin, Bai Lian watched the snowflakes drizzle down outside, her mind wandering slightly, “It’s snowing.”
Jiangjing was cold, and snow had started falling as early as December.
Jiang Fulai drove Bai Lian to the parking lot of Shanhai Apartment; as the distance to building number five was short, she did not don her cloak.
The snowflakes spun gently, landing on her eyebrows and the top of her head.
After parking the car and turning off the engine, Jiang Fulai walked with her towards the building, their conversation shifting from hydrazine hydrate cellulose to the atmosphere in the laboratories.
“It’s not just about academic atmosphere,” Bai Lian said as she caught a falling snowflake with the cloak in her hand.
She leisurely described the Plasma Laboratory group to Jiang Fulai.
As he listened, Jiang Fulai brushed off a few undissolved snowflakes from her head, “There’s always some politics where there are people. Some research groups are like that, but most have a very good atmosphere. The Ma Institute’s group, for instance, is very decent.”
Seeing that Ji Heng’s courtyard lights were dimmed, Bai Lian didn’t bother to greet them; she climbed the stairs to the third floor with Jiang Fulai.
Recalling a sudden thought while listening to Jiang Fulai talk about the laboratory, she asked, “Is it true that no one dares to speak up in your lab?”
Given Jiang Fulai’s tendency to provoke with just a few words.
“It’s alright,” Jiang Fulai replied indifferently, “There are more who focus on the actual work, without too much cunning.”
Anyone slightly complex, like Gao Jiachen—even if from the Gao Family, he would not accept.
