I thought I was a jerk

After Xie Wenhan exposed his identity, there were disadvantages but also advantages.

The good thing is that he can stay by Xue Ci's side during the day "right and aboveboard", and Xue Ci happens to be the only one who can see him, and he is quite clingy.Xie Wenhan stayed in the laboratory, and when he was busy, he would deal with the affairs of the Bai family and the company by himself, and would be Xue Ci's assistant when he was done. Occasionally, when things got bad, he would lure Xue Ci from the sidelines to "not do his job properly"—but as a whole In other words, with Xie Wenhan's joining, Xue Ci's research progress is going smoothly.

However, within half a year, the "Turning God Project" was successfully developed under Xue Ci's leadership. The reproducible chip was renamed "original sub-chip", which can be synthesized and assembled systematically, changing the current chip pattern in one fell swoop, and bringing about changes in benefits. Even more unpredictable.Many aristocratic families are vacillating in this turmoil, but the Xue family is standing still - it seems that they have already made plans.

But no matter how the country shakes, the economic and scientific research trend is constantly rising, as if the whole has undergone a revolution.Relatively speaking, other chip powerhouses were suddenly left behind, and because the cost of chips was still high, Huaguo had also started to implement original sub-chips, so that the originally formulated economic system was extremely unstable, and the upper echelons were most affected by this. It even triggered several large-scale riots, and had no choice but to turn to Hua Guo for help.

It's not that they want to be choked, but that their own research team can only circle around a little bit of thinking, and the progress can't get any closer, as if they are hitting a wall wherever they go.

Talking about a metaphysical concept, it seems that God has deprived them of the opportunity of inspiration, and in the vast fog, they still can't touch the threshold that is within reach.

At times like this, some jealousy is unavoidable.

...Who knows what kind of monsters Huaguo National Chip Institute is, how can it research such a mature technology in such a short period of time!

And the "monster" that made the leaders of the countries sleepless day and night just left the Qianlong base today.

With the mission successfully completed, Xue Ci was naturally able to come out of the Qianlong base that was sealed off from the outside world.

It's just that Xue Ci's status is special now, even if he can move freely, he is still tightly protected by special forces.

Most people in the outside world, including Xue Zhengjing and Xue Fu, only know that Xue Ci participated in the "Tu Shen Project" and is a member of the researchers. It is not clear that he is not only involved, but also the leading researcher of the project, who contributed The most core strength.Therefore, I feel that the country is too... a little more comprehensive, and even protects them.You must know that the Xue family is not an ordinary family, and it is not a problem to deal with some assassinations and kidnappings. After participating in a research, they are treated as high-risk groups and taken care of.

Xue Ci didn't tell them either... She simply didn't think of talking about it.

Xue Zhengjing and Xue Fu were so anxious that they picked up people at the gate of the base. They hadn't seen Young Master Xue for almost a year, and they missed and felt very distressed.

In fact, Xue Ci didn't suffer much this year. The entire base enshrined him as a national treasure. If he lost a catty of meat, there would be a professional team to discuss the plan. There was also enough time for sleep and exercise, and he had to be treated with medicine for a little longer experiment. The eyes, except for the fairer skin than before coming in, the body is obviously better than before.

But facing Xue Ci's obviously more well-proportioned and taller figure, Xue Zhengjing and Xue Fu could just blindly say that Xue Ci had become much thinner and lighter to hold, and that he didn't know how much he suffered in that base. how bitter.

Xue Ci: "..." As long as you are happy.

During this year, the core of the Xue family has almost moved from Zhoucheng to Beijing, bought another land, and reproduced the Xue residence in Zhoucheng.The beautiful scenery of the garden, bridges and flowing water are all built according to the original place in Zhoucheng.The most elaborate one is Xue Ci's house, the bedroom is completely restored, even those books that have been out of print for a long time and are almost equivalent to gold have been collected as a set and placed in Xue Ci's room.

It's as if he never left.

The first meal back home was of course a family banquet in Xue's mansion. Xue Ci looked through those books with a little interest. Xue Fu knocked on the door and came in, and said to the young master: "Ah Ci, when you come back today... call Xie Wenhan, let him come too."

"Huh?" Xue Ci was still a little curious, when did his brother and Xie Wenhan have such a good relationship.

"Father also agreed." Xue Fu explained slowly: "During your absence, he was also eager to communicate with Xue's family and asked us about your affairs every day. It's just that we can't explain it. He waited. One year is still the same as before, I only hope that you will reply to him, and I think I have some true feelings for you..."

The implication is that Xie Wenhan barely passed the test, and he is not so obtrusive in front of his father, so he can invite him for a family dinner.

Xue Ci: "..."

He subconsciously rubbed Mr. Xie Wenhan, who was "deep with no regrets" and "haven't seen him for a year", the waist that hurt him yesterday.

The internal meeting of the Special Research Department of the National Chip Institute.

What was put on the table was the materials about Xue Ci's application for the second-level chip science medal, which was originally submitted for the quota of the National Chip Institute, but was temporarily stopped by a vice president.

Vice President Feng is now old and in poor health, and his retirement has only been in the past two years, and his reputation is still very high.

At this time, he frowned tightly, and his voice was a little panting, "It's just nonsense! How old is he now? A young man under the age of 20 has not yet graduated from university, and he has not even entered the National Chip Institute. Apply for the second-level chip medal for him, if I hadn't stopped him, you would still...!"

He said excitedly, coughed, and the colleagues around him quickly helped him comfort his back.

Another deputy dean, who is also an old professor of the previous research team, is the teacher of nearly half of the people present. His seniority is also high, and his temper is not good. The young man who arrived is still the developer of the original sub-chip. Isn’t this kind of achievement enough to qualify for the second-level core technology? If it is not possible to apply across levels, I would like to directly apply for the first-level core technology for him.”

These words were so lethal that Vice President Feng almost slapped the table: "Old Liu! You!"

"What about me?" The old professor was quite angry, "Old Feng, you said that you are already such an old man, and you are about to retire, so it's not good to get a reputation of being jealous!"

Vice President Feng was about to vomit blood from anger, but his favorite student, Professor Mo, who is also one of the professors of the Academy of Core Sciences, patted him on the back while agreeing with the old professor, "Yes, teacher, I was a second-grade student back then. At the time of Xinke, the actual performance was not so strong."

Seeing that Vice President Feng was about to recite it angrily, President Guoxin had to ask for a pause, "Vice President Feng has his considerations."

Vice President Feng took a breather, and with white lips, he calmed down and sighed: "Have you ever thought about what to do if he bears such a heavy honor and crushes him? He is young and handsome. I don't think he is not qualified, but too qualified. He will definitely succeed you in the future. The future is boundless. It is only a matter of time before the first-level core technology, so why rush here Planting time will help the seedlings grow."

This is not speaking skills, but a heart of cherishing talent, which is especially worrying about gains and losses.Seeing that he was in a low mood, it was rare that even the old professor didn't get angry with him, he just snorted.

"Vice President Feng."

In the end, it was Professor Hua who spoke first.

His eyes were calm, and he spoke very clearly, "I knew Xue Ci, probably earlier than you all. To be honest, I didn't expect him to...bring me such a big surprise."

"Maybe I don't know much about him, but whether he wins or loses is not discouraged. At least I watched him do the former. He is a very humble and always enterprising student. Even if he is younger, I can I don't think he will make the mistake Vice President Feng said, so I hope he can get the rewards he deserves in line with his dedication, instead of being bound by the default 'rules'."

What Professor Hua didn't say was that he even thought that Xue Ci was so humble that he seemed a little inferior.

So he hopes that Xue Ci will recognize his own value, become more confident, move forward more courageously, and become more resplendent and unstoppable.

Professor Hua sighed and said, "He is the new generation and the future of our country. Vice President Feng, you should have some confidence in our future."

Vice President Feng was originally prepared to fight against all opinions, even if he had a bad reputation of being jealous, but he hesitated slightly in silence.

He sighed and said: "The second-level Silicon Technology Medal is not just a pure honor, but the responsibility behind it is to guide the direction of a country."

"Vice President Hua, do you think Xue Ci can afford it?"

Vice President Feng sighed and said: "I want to believe him. But 19 years old is too young. Looking at the past and future, there has never been such a precedent."

"Okay." The director of National Chip interrupted their conversation.

He made the final decision.

"This application material will not be submitted in the name of National Chip Institute."

The old professor frowned slightly, "Dean..."

"In my own name," he added.

There is also a difference in this. If you take the quota of the National Chip Institute, you will be sure to get the approval.But if it is personally recommended by the dean—it is indeed only a threshold quota, and the chance of getting a reply is very small, less than [-]%.

In addition to looking at actual performance, there are some factors of luck-for example, what is the above attitude towards such a young winner of the second-level chip medal.

This is the result of taking a step back and measuring the results, and the meeting ended accordingly.

Neither party is satisfied nor dissatisfied.

When Vice President Feng was about to leave, he was stopped by Professor Hua.

"Vice President Feng." Ms. Hua said ahead of time, "Do you still remember that there was an unspoken age rule in the selection of the second-level core technology?"

Vice President Feng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Ms. Hua to talk to him about this.However, he thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed something in his impression: "In the past, the second-level chip technology only awarded honors to chip scholars over the age of 30..." If this rule has been maintained, they will not be so troubled today.

"Later, this rule was broken." Ms. Hua added gently, "Deputy President Feng, I am the precedent for breaking the rule."

Vice President Feng was slightly taken aback. He looked at Professor Xiang Hua, and his memory gradually became clear: "...Yes."

Entered the National Chip Institute at the age of 24, and was awarded the second-level chip science award at the age of 26. Professor Hua himself is like an unconventional legend.

And now, Legend itself stood before him, telling him: "I did it once."

"I believe that Xue Ci will succeed a second time."

Vice President Feng was slightly silent.

"Wait and see."

"If it does work, I'll congratulate him."

Xue Ci didn't know that in a certain corner of Beijing, someone had a heated discussion centered on him.

He really has nothing to worry about—before leaving the base, professionals gave each of them psychological counseling. The theme was that their research achievements might not be made public due to protection principles and confidentiality regulations. Make mental adjustments.

This is actually just a routine after the completion of every major research, but Xue Ci took it seriously, and no longer worried about the follow-up of the research.

His task has been completed.

After resting leisurely for half a month like this, Xue Ci was a little restless, and when he wanted to do some research, he received a call.

After Xue Ci answered the phone, his expression became a little... at a loss.

It happened to be the family banquet time, Xue Zhengjing immediately became vigilant, frowning and looking at Xue Ci.Xue Fu had already leaned over, and asked in a warm voice, "What's the matter, Ah Ci? I can share with my brother if I have something to do." Xie Wenhan was almost close to his ears, and Xue Ci agreed and hung up the phone.Explained: "Call me... to accept the award."

"What award?" Xue Zhengjing was still dissatisfied, "There are many pheasant awards now, but they just want to gain fame, so there is no need to go."

"It's not a pheasant award." Xue Ci shook his head.

After calming down a little, he said, "The award ceremony of the second-level chip science medal."

"..."

For a moment, the room was quiet.

Anyone who is educated has heard of this medal, not to mention the status of the Xue family, and they are more aware of its weight.

Even Xue Zhengjing, who knew Xue Ci was excellent and wished to show off his son every day, pondered for a while and said, "I'll find someone to confirm."

Xue Ci said no, and subconsciously asked the professor he contacted most recently in the address book.

"Professor Hua." Xue Ci asked in a low voice, "I received a call telling me to attend the second-level core science..."

Before he finished speaking, Professor Hua said heartily, "Already here?"

"Xue Ci, congratulations. You have broken my record and become the youngest winner of the second-level chip medal." He paused before continuing, with uncontrollable joy hidden in his voice, "I am very happy. "

That kind of intense joy seemed to be transmitted through communication tools, making Xue Ci uncontrollably happy.

It was also at this time that he heard his heartbeat beating rapidly.

Professor Hua said: "In a few days, your invitation letter should arrive, and I will go to the scene then."

Xue Ci had already forgotten what he answered, but hung up the phone after the conversation, met a pair of eyes that were more nervous than him, and smiled slightly.

The mood also calmed down instantly, "It's true."

"The time is on the 22nd." Xue Ci said, "Let's go together."

On the 22nd, there was a new recipient of the second-level chip science medal, which not only caused a great shock in the chip scientific research circle, but also attracted a lot of attention from the public, which aroused heated discussions early on.

You must know that just a few years ago, this important ceremony was actually nothing compared to some entertainment news, but since several high-profile chip competitions were held, this situation has also improved.What's more, the recent "original sub-chip" has had a great impact. Ordinary people who don't care about current affairs can analyze its significance clearly and logically. Huaguo's chip academic circle is closely watched by the whole world. The honor ceremony was extraordinarily grand and grand.

People have been guarding the live broadcast hall early, and major social software is still discussing hotly.Some people may not be very clear about the meaning of the "Second Class Chip Medal". At this time, some people came out to popularize science:

"This is not an ordinary honor. Even those experts who joined the National Chip Research Institute - have they reached the pinnacle of chip research? But they may not be able to get this second-level chip, and it is special to get a third-level chip. It's amazing."

"The last professor who won the second-level core science honor seems to be three years ago."

"What's the matter with one in three years? Don't look at the core science award in country y, and the special honor award in country c. That's one in a year, but can it compare with the level of Xinke?"

"It's hard to say who will be honored. The list is confidential. But I personally guess that it should be the scholar who invented the original chip. This achievement is amazing in the world."

"Your analysis is as fierce as a tiger, and the conclusions you draw are too funny. You can even produce the original sub-chip, so why don't you pass the second-level core technology?"

Seeing that the people discussing heatedly were about to quarrel, the live broadcast hall where everyone was squatting was lit up, and the live broadcast began.

Although the ceremony was not long, it was quite solemn. Even the audience was infected by the tense atmosphere, and no one continued to discuss it.

——And now the person who is about to be honored is also very nervous.

Standing in the audience, Xue Ci had never been so nervous before. Fortunately, he was not a sweaty physique, so he didn't show timidity on his appearance.Seeing that he was about to take the stage, he said softly, "Xie Wenhan."

Xie Wenhan stood beside Xue Ci.

In fact, Xue Zhengjing was also there, thinking that Ah Ci was calling him, and moved forward, but was pulled back by Xue Fu.

Xie Wenhan leaned over and said softly, "Huh?"

"I am nervous."

Xie Wenhan laughed a little, he held Xue Ci's hand tightly, and slightly loosened his tightly curled fingertips to prevent Xue Ci from pinching himself.Then he held it, leaned over and kissed him, "This is a good thing, not a bad thing, be happy, huh?"

Even in the background, there are many people watching.After being kissed, Xue Ci forgot to be nervous—he blushed, and gave Xie Wenhan a non-stern look before getting ready to go on stage.

The young man dressed very formally today, even though he deliberately dressed in a more mature style, he still looked slender with long legs and couldn't hide his beauty.With red lips and white teeth, when she appeared in front of many cameras, she smiled subconsciously, and she saw boundless beauty.

And when he appeared in front of the camera, almost all the audience were slightly stunned.

An untimely thought suddenly popped up in my heart... This is too beautiful!

But after the dizziness of being fascinated by beauty passed away, some people realized it belatedly.

This is... who?

They thought for a long time before they suddenly came up with a name.

Xue Ci?

Xue Ci was almost popular a year ago, even if he disappeared for a whole year, many people knew him.The reason why it took him a long time to realize it was because the current Xue Ci was actually much better-looking than a year ago... and his appearance was even more outstanding.

Although being able to see such a beautiful woman is extremely exciting, many people also reacted in time. This is the scene of the award of the second-level chip science medal. How could Xue Ci be here?

Receive it for a loved one?

But this guess didn't last long before it was broken. The name on the ceremony was clearly written, and the winner was Xue Ci.

All of a sudden, many controversies arose again.

It's not that Xue Ci isn't great, he is almost the perfect synonym for genius in everyone's mind, but with Xue Ci's achievements, is it a little bit reluctant to get the second-level chip science medal?Even those who don't know about this award, after being bombarded by popular science these days, know that it represents the highest honor in the field of chip science. It is a bit rash to award it to such a young man. , are all three-level core technology.

But before such doubts broke out, the live broadcast continued.

The person who honored Xue Ci was Ms. Hua.

He was not only a spectator who came to watch the ceremony, but also a person who came to present this honor to Xue Ci himself.

His voice was clear and gentle, carrying a strange magic power, which clearly reached everyone's ears.At this time, Ms. Hua was slowly reciting Xue Ci's scientific research achievements so far.

Compared with any previous second-level chip winners, this "achievement list" is too short, with only a few items.

But because there are too few, everyone can hear the most important one.

—— "The founder of the original sub-chip. Leading the research team Sikong Yiqi Yunle South Room... to conduct a 320-day-long day at the Qianlong Base..."

During the recitation of this honor, the controversies and doubts that had just been densely disappeared in an instant.

The first ones to pop up were a few "???"

"???"

"Did I hear it wrong, Xue Ci is the founder of the original sub-chip??"

"Help, I feel that not only my jaw has dropped, but many international friends also want to SOS"

"Thank God for letting me know once again that I am just a tvt who came to this world to count"

"It's not... You can't compare a normal person with Xue Ci, I suspect that he might not be human..."

Ms. Hua didn't care how much his words had dealt a blow to how many people's worldviews. After reading a very small number of but extremely moving scientific research achievements, she also awarded Xue Ci the second-level chip science medal.

Xue Ci took it very calmly, his heart was blank, but his face was extremely calm and calm, and he read out the award-winning speech that he had memorized several times in a steady manner.After going through that set of procedures, he remembered some... words that were more important to him.

"For this honor, I have to thank one more person." Xue Ci raised his eyes slightly and looked at the audience.

"He provided me with indispensable motivation and assistance in the research of the original sub-chip project." Xie Wenhan's existence at that time was not known to anyone, and his role in the research would not be known.But at this moment, Xue Ci stood on the stage and shared the honor with him.

"...He is my fiancé, Xie Wenhan." Xue Ci said, "Thank you."

Another wave of "?"

"I just said that Xue Ci is the founder of Yuanfen Chip, which is the most surprising thing to me this year. Now I want to take it back. The most surprising thing is that Xue Ci is engaged, over"

"Dream back to the past...my mother asked me why I was eating dog food while watching the live broadcast of the honor award."

"When he made the official announcement two years ago, I also said that such an outstanding beauty like Xue Ci would not last long with others. I didn't expect that now... well, I admit that I am dark."

Under the stage, Xie Wenhan was also stunned.

His position is very close to Xue Ci, and it is the middle seat. He only raised his head slightly, and he can clearly see Xue Ci's lips bent towards him at this time, and those dark eyes are also facing him, full of his reflection.

At that moment, Xie Wenhan's ears seemed to be silent for a moment, he couldn't hear other sounds, only Xue Ci and him were left in the strange space.

His face seemed to be burning badly, and his limbs were extremely stiff. Xie Wenhan raised his hand and applauded lightly.

Mouthed something silently.

Xue Ci understood, so this would be replaced by Xue Ci's blush.

But he stood on the stage, even though he blushed, he was still calm, as if glowing.

He is Xie Wenhan's light.

It is Xie Wenhan's treasure, the rose, the flesh and heart born from the empty body.When they meet, bring him back to the world.
