Chapter 178 Sneer and sneer
(Some content in Chapters 175 and 176 has been automatically modified. I probably fixed the parts where the sentences were not fluent, but the deleted content cannot be continued. Sorry)
Lu Yao is not a hunter, is not interested in fishing, or even doesn't know how to fish at all.
But he understands one truth, that is, whether hunting or fishing, bait is needed.
From the security knowledge gained in his previous life, he knew that the most common method used by spies was to contact targets in a long-term and subtle manner. And he is now going to make himself "active" to become such a goal.
He didn't know whether his girlfriend had talked about the things he had talked about, intentionally or unintentionally.
But... to be honest, he's not afraid either.
Because he hasn't said anything core to his girlfriend.
Just like the example he gave to Xu Ruochu, the operating principle of radio frequency chips is like this. Ordinary people can have complete access to it and understand it. Naturally, it cannot be said to be a core secret.
What's more, he is currently only doing research, and he is doing it as a freshman, which is somewhat counter-intuitive.
He is not a member of a secret research institute, so according to common sense, he is at most as "powerful" as a student, and definitely not as high as a researcher.
Therefore, he doesn't know whether the other party is really interested in him.
Or it could be a matter of luck in casting a wide net and catching more fish.
But no matter what, a spy must have a purpose when he comes here.
What he has to do now is to spread his own bait to let the other party know how "powerful" he is, so that they can focus on him.
It's actually quite risky.
Because once the other party focuses their attention on themselves, then... everyone around them may become the target of their investigation.
But Lu Yao had to do this.
Didn't even think too much about it.
Because he didn't dare to think too much, and the more he thought, the more timid he became.
The more hesitant.
But fortunately, he understood what role he had to play in this game of catching the fox by the tail.
That's a complete idiot.
Don't know anything.
Because you don’t know anything, you can infinitely guarantee the “safety” of yourself and those around you.
So, when the mixed-race lady in the passenger seat said, "I want to hear it," he smiled like an unprepared fool:
"Do you know what a radio frequency chip is?"
"Um...computer CPU?"
"Ha."
Listening to her innocent tone, Lu Yao smiled and shook his head:
"You girls have such a simple understanding of these electronic products..."
"This gentleman, your inherent knowledge is very rude to a lady."
"Uh..."
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then looked a little embarrassed:
"Sorry."
"I forgive you. So... what is a radio frequency chip? The chip... is the CPU, right?"
"You can understand it this way, but there is also a distinction. The specific distinction is actually very complicated... Let me give you an example. For example, this car is a missile..."
He retold the examples he had told his girlfriend and Xu Ruochu.
The rather superficial and concrete truth was naturally understood by Luo Xuewei:
"In other words, the faster the sound emitted by the radio frequency chip, the better?"
"Yes, it can be understood that way. It may take a second for an ordinary radio frequency chip to go to the satellite and back. The model I am currently studying may only take 0.5 seconds. This time, the error generated in 0.5 seconds will be infinite. The smaller it is, the more precise it is."
"I see. When you say that, I probably understand... You are so amazing, Lu Yao. This is the first time I have learned about a high-tech product so directly."
Her compliments were full of sincerity.
"No wonder Natalia always praises you for being smart in front of me... It's true, you are really amazing. Did you study all this yourself?"
"Haha, I'm embarrassed to say it."
Lu Yao held the steering wheel with one hand. Although he was modest, his face was full of smiles.
"Why are you embarrassed? You obviously have such an excellent talent, you should be proud of yourself."
"Haha~"
"Are you studying on your own? Or are you following the teacher?"
"I do my own research."
"Uh... But in those movies and TV shows I watched, a whole team was involved in any research. Is that fake?"
"Of course it's true. Our industry... How should I put it, chip research does require a large-scale talent cluster. The more high-end technology talents gather together, the better. Brainstorm ideas, shorten time, and reduce gaps. But my current research is not that To put it bluntly, my current research is just a rough model. Research is relatively small. But it is like a prototype. Once the model is successfully researched, it means that my theory is correct, and as long as the theory is correct, it can be applied in practice. In a real sense, it is a stage where funds are invested in research and development.”
"Oh, that's it."
Luo Xuewei looked quite enlightened.
At this time, Lu Yao also drove the car to the Tomson Jinjiang InterContinental Hotel in Lujiazui.
Luo Xuewei, it’s time to get off the car.
Lu Yao drove the car directly to the concierge desk.
Stop.
"OK...Are you sure you don't want Natalia to go up?"
"No, I'll just take her home to rest."
"Well, okay."
Sister Yu nodded and suddenly took out her mobile phone:
"Let's exchange contact information."
"Well, okay."
Lu Yao nodded. After the two exchanged mobile phone numbers, she smiled and waved her hand:
"Good night then?"
"Well, good night, bye."
"Ha~!"
With a chuckle, she got out of the car and waved to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao responded and then restarted the car.
Finished saying goodbye.
Finally, Lu Yao looked through the rearview mirror and watched Sister Yu, who was wearing a black coat, walking into the hotel step by step without any sway.
Even the wind in the walk carries a bit of elegance and enchantment.
Lu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief.
I suppressed the exciting feeling in my heart.
To be honest, he didn't even know why he was so excited.
But this excitement is as real as it gets.
But what followed was a review in my mind.
and the possible extensions of countless predictions into the future.
He thought a lot.
Considered various scenarios.
Of course, he also knew that a large part of the "possibilities" he thought about and pondered were just words on paper.
But it's better than nothing.
Soon, the car returned to Fortune Garden. After a lot of effort, he carried his unconscious girlfriend and walked into the elevator together.
Hu Li was really drunk.
No consciousness.
Lu Yao stripped her naked and stuffed her into the quilt.
After taking a quick shower, I also closed my eyes.
It's just that...when I close my eyes, my mind is filled with the shadow of Luo Xuewei.
The excitement in my heart was intertwined with a faint chill, and finally my consciousness slowly faded and I fell asleep.
……
Hu Li said he wanted to introduce his friends to Luo Xuewei, but Lu Yao was not included in the list.
Because Lu Yao is now widely known as Xu Ruochu's boyfriend.
In order to avoid embarrassment for all three of them, Lu Yao simply didn't go.
From the beginning of school to now, he can finally have some "free time" on Friday.
This weekend, he did not meet Hu Li. After all, his girlfriend now has a "new love".
Moreover, currently the band No One Has a Baby has roughly made out the melody parts of all the songs.
In the past two days, everyone has been busy with these songs.
As a band, their melody standard is naturally not particularly high in Wu Mengqi's case. But as far as LIVE is concerned, it is already possible to perform on stage.
In two days, the band has finally completed its final run-in.
Reached their inner qualification line.
As for Wu Mengqi... just wait and see.
So, on Sunday evening, when several people gathered for dinner, Wei Qianqian said:
"Shall we have a show?"
What she meant was to put the band's first live performance in the school.
Anyway, she and Mr. Xu are members of the student union, so she still has this little privilege.
As for the time...it will be next Friday night.
Lu Yao shrugged and said he had no objection.
Others also responded.
So, the monitor waved his hand:
"Then it's settled. Next Friday... we'll choose the location when the time comes. But I feel like the singing time is a bit short, so let's add some other people's songs to make ten."
The band members quickly came up with two songs.
One song is the extremely classic "California Guesthouse".
Anyone who plays an instrument must know this song.
The second song is "We Will Rock You" by Queen.
This song can be used as an opening.
Nine songs, about an hour of performance time, just right.
You need to bring your own instruments. People from the student union will help set up a small performance stage, or they can directly borrow them in the auditorium. It depends on how Wei Qianqian communicates with them. As for the performance promotion... just put a big-character poster on the bulletin board and post it on the school website.
The student band mainly plays a simple and rough style.
And, she moves quite quickly.
After several people returned to the dormitory, around 10 o'clock in the evening, Lu Yao and Xu Ruochen both saw the content of the big-character poster she sent, as well as the draft of the post.
At the same time, she also finished communicating with the student council president that the school auditorium can be used as a performance venue from 6 to 7:30 on Friday night. Someone from the student union even agreed to help as a free lighting engineer.
It's really easy for someone in the DPRK to get things done.
After seeing that everyone in the group had no objections to the promotional content, she directly posted the post on the school website.
Posted on the front foot, in less than 10 minutes, the post was directly highlighted and bolded.
Apparently, even the administrator got in touch with her.
Meticulously detailed.
[Hello everyone, we are the band "No One Survived". On March 17th, next Friday at 6pm, we will hold a small LIVE performance in the school auditorium...]
As soon as this post was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Don't mention anything else...the song "Flowers" is doing really well so far.
It's just that the band members don't accept commercial performances and there is no corporate promotion, so there is no popularity.
But as students on Fuhua campus, many people are deeply impressed by them. When they saw the post announcing that they had six original songs this time, they all expressed interest.
Not to mention... best of all, it's free.
No tickets, just come. Just right as a weekend diversion.
After about an hour, the number of people who responded to the post expressing their expectations exceeded 100.
Liu Mingze also received requests from Lu Yao and Xu Ruochen.
He will help make a slideshow of seven song lyrics, which will be used in the background of the performance.
Lao Liu readily agreed.
……
Early Monday morning.
Lu Yao saw Bai Yao on the playground on time.
"Senior, morning."
"Well, morning."
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Bai Yao glanced at him and asked:
"Performing on Friday? Have you finished all your songs?"
"That's right."
Lu Yao smiled and nodded:
"Although it has not reached the album standard, there is no problem with the live performance. Senior sister must come."
"Of course I won't be absent."
It can be said that senior Leng Yan, who likes every song, finished speaking naturally and asked again:
"Can I bring those people from Jiaotong University last time?"
"Uh...is it too far?"
"It's not far, and besides, they have all heard your songs. They will definitely like it."
"Haha, let's invite them. I hope we won't disappoint them."
"No."
Hearing this answer, Lu Yaoxin said that you have more confidence in us than we have in ourselves.
Immediately afterwards, he heard his senior ask:
"Can I record it?"
"Yes, of course."
"I mean with a camera."
"...Huh?"
Lu Yao was stunned:
"Camera?"
"Yes, this is your first LIVE, right? It's very memorable. I can help you record it."
"Hehe, okay. Then senior sister will have to take some cool photos for me."
"Ha."
Senior Sister Leng Yan showed a very happy smile.
Then, she took off her coat, moved her shoulder joints, and nodded to Lu Yao:
"Let's get started."
"Yeah."
She was in front, Lu Yao was behind, and the two groups of Marks ran in circles along the playground.
While running a circle, Lu Yao looked at the slim body running with long legs in front of him. Now he basically didn't shy away from looking at her. Instead, his eyes were filled with admiration.
On the one hand, it’s the other person’s figure.
Good indeed.
On the other hand, he also began to consciously correct his running form.
After all, the opponent's running style does look good when running.
Appearance means fighting ability.
……
"This Wednesday, the tutor will come back, and I will help you start calculating the data. I will give it to you next week at the latest."
Bai Yao said while eating.
"Well, okay."
Lu Yao nodded and agreed.
"Besides, I will have dinner with your girlfriend tonight."
"...?"
Lu Yao was stunned for a while when Leng Buding didn't react.
Dinner with Hu Li?
"...She didn't tell you?"
"Uh..."
Lu Yao, whose brain was spinning in circles, finally understood who she was talking about, and subconsciously shook his head:
"No."
"Oh."
Seeing this, Bai Yao didn't say much.
However, at night, when she saw Xu Ruochu walking into the box, there was an extra look in her eyes.
Tonight's dinner was not organized by her, but by someone else.
Third aunt asked her to come, so she came.
She was not familiar with the others. Or to be precise, she and Xu Ruochu were not particularly close.
But it didn't stop her from observing the other person.
Xu Ruochu is very beautiful.
It’s the Xu family’s daughter again.
According to the third aunt, Xu Ruochu is her favorite among the young people of this generation.
But... Xu Ruochu, who looked knowledgeable and elegant in front of her, looked completely different in her eyes.
For some reason... she always felt that the situation between the other party and Lu Yao was weird.
They were obviously boyfriend and girlfriend, but... Lu Yao's reaction was too bland.
It's not like the state you have when you like someone.
At the same time, she was not particularly interested in Xu Ruochu.
As for the reason... she saw the shadow of her mother, and even the second and third aunts in the other person.
In other words, the shadow of my own childhood.
A child who grew up in a normal family would not understand her thoughts.
Nor will he understand her shadow.
That kind of... the shadow that the father is the son-in-law who comes to marry into the family.
Growing up, she heard many comments directed at her father.
"I heard that your father barged in the door upside down."
"Why do you take your mother's last name, and why don't you take your father's last name?"
"Have you heard that Bai Yao's father is a married woman?"
"Her father has no future, but her mother's family is rich and she has hired a son-in-law."
"Dad, look, that's Bai Yao from our class. The man next to her is her father, and he's an intruder..."
From being a childish child without restraint, to being criticized behind everyone's back when they became wise.
It's enough to turn a lively and smiling girl into a paralyzed face with a dead face every day.
Even when everyone grows up, they all know how to restrain their expressions and emotions. But being very good at observing people's emotions, she could still see the strange look in many people's eyes when they looked at her.
Even though mom and dad are obviously very loving.
Even if... my grandparents don't like me, they still have to show a kind look.
All these are the shadows of her childhood that she cannot speak of.
This is also the main reason why it is difficult for her to have a good impression of Xu Ruochu.
Lu Yao and her...are so much like his parents.
Obviously my father is equally excellent, but when faced with my mother's family at that time, I also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Therefore, my mother chose to leave Shanghai.
Moved to Yanjing, and lived a small life behind closed doors as a family of three.
But what would Lu Yao do?
He is extremely talented.
And, he is a person with a firm heart.
From this point of view, she could not see any compromise in the other party.
What's more... When I talk to Lu Yao about Xu Ruochu, he always looks calm.
Then contact the other party's passive personality.
Bai Yao becomes more and more certain that Xu Ruochu must be the stronger one in this relationship.
Just like...the third aunt.
This made her even more unhappy.
Especially when Xu Ruochu came alone.
Why not call Lu Yao together?
Do you think Lu Yao is not worthy of sitting here?
She frowned slightly.
Until Xu Ruochu, who was greeting everyone, met her eyes.
The Xu family daughter smiled gently, nodded politely to her, and walked over.
"Bai Yao, long time no see."
"Well, long time no see."
After she responded, someone over there asked Xu Ruochu to take a seat.
But who would have thought that Xu Ruochu waved his hand and pointed at Bai Yao:
"I can just sit here."
Aunt Bai said that she hoped she could help her niece integrate into this circle.
She has a responsibility.
So, she sat next to Bai Yao.
As if chatting, he asked with a smile:
"How are you doing?"
“Very good.”
Senior Sister Leng Yan responded politely.
Then he suddenly asked:
"Where's Lu Yao?"
"He... didn't come, he was a little busy."
"Oh."
Bai Yao sneered in his heart.
Then he suddenly asked:
"Are you going to the show?"
Xu Ruochu was stunned:
"A show?...What show."
Oh.
The scoff turned into a sneer.
