Chang Cuo ran outside Feiyu Billiards Club in disgrace, full of doubts. He didn't understand how Peng Lin knew about this.
Could it be that Qin Yang was the one who snitched? Well, it's really unreliable. If I had known that he couldn't bear it, I wouldn't have contacted him, and I wasted a lot of money on him!
Chang Cuo looked at the sign of his club and sighed secretly, feeling that he was probably helpless.
Brother Peng Lin has always been forthright and straightforward, and is very popular in the club. He shouted loudly in the club, and even if he could clarify the so-called "facts", he might not be able to stay any longer afterwards.
Huh! Just for the sake of letting out a sigh of relief, Chang Cuo couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and let himself fall into such a situation. He secretly cursed himself for being so smart but being misled by his cleverness!
But there is no other way. Now I have to look for other clubs. I don’t know if I can successfully find another club with my skills. I hope that what I did in the Citizen Cup will not spread. Otherwise, I will be in this club. I really can’t survive in the industry.
...
As soon as the Huacheng Citizen Cup ended, it was December. At this time, the warm weather in the south could no longer withstand the erosion of cold air, and began to gradually drop below 10 degrees.
People put on their long-sleeved shirts and sweaters that have been stored in their closets for a long time, enjoying this rare cool moment of the year, because soon it won’t just be “cool”.
Early the next morning after the Citizen Cup ended, Wang Haibo came to his office in the college building.
He turned on his computer according to his usual habit. During the boot process, he took out his mobile phone and casually browsed WeChat and the news.
Wang Haibo's public account has many academic updates, including "Deep Reinforcement Learning Laboratory", "Linjiang Scholars" and "Deep Learning and Graph Networks", etc., which can help him easily track the latest academic frontier progress.
He casually scrolled down the push list of his official account, and after looking at the first few academic push posts that he was more interested in, he continued to scroll down.
When he turned to a public account called "Guangfu News", he glanced at it and found that the cover introduced this news:
"The Flower City Snooker Citizen Cup came to a successful conclusion last night..."
Snooker? It turns out to be sports news.
Wang Haibo was not interested in sports, so he had no intention of reading the line of fine print under the title carefully. When he was about to scroll down, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar name in the line of fine print: Lexus!
Hmm? Is this Lexus his student? Could it be another person with the same name?
With curiosity, Wang Haibo opened this push and read the specific content:
"On the evening of December 1, the Huacheng City Snooker Citizen Cup came to a successful conclusion. In the elite group competition, professional player Shi Yulu from the Dongcheng Youth Billiards Association defeated Lingzhi with a score of 4:1 and won this title for the first time. The champion of each event. At the same time, from the national group..."
Wang Haibo flipped through the page from beginning to end, trying to find relevant information about this "Lexus", but unfortunately, the entire news article was a detailed introduction to the champion, while the runner-up only mentioned a name, and there was no other information at all.
Wang Haibo felt a little suspicious. He stood up and walked towards the laboratory.
After arriving at the laboratory, he glanced at the booth and saw that Ling Zhi and a few classmates had already arrived and started studying for the day.
Wang Haibo walked straight towards Ling Zhi. He originally wanted to ask Ling Zhi directly if he participated in any Citizen Cup or other events, but thinking about the last reporting incident, he felt that if he was too direct, he might not get what he wanted easily.
The answer, so he decided to be tactful this time:
"Lingzhi, is there any progress recently?"
Wang Haibo sat next to Ling Zhi and asked naturally:
"I've been reading relevant literature on reinforcement learning recently..."
Ling Zhi briefly talked about his thoughts on reading the paper, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Director Wang quietly, waiting for his reply.
"Well, that's right. Being able to master it to this extent in such a short period of time shows that you have worked hard. I gave you a few more papers some time ago, and you also worked hard to read them. Speaking of which, you usually
Are there any leisure activities outside of scientific research? After all, sitting in the laboratory all the time is not good for the cervical spine. You should really go out more and do more activities."
"As for leisure activities, I know that other students will go to the gym from time to time to exercise, while I will occasionally go hiking on weekends."
"That's it, that's good, that's good. When I'm not in the laboratory, don't everyone come frequently?"
"They all come very frequently. I had a cold yesterday afternoon, so I didn't come. I woke up a little better this morning, so I came."
At this point, Wang Haibo discovered that there were wads of toilet paper in the wastebasket at Ling Zhi's feet. It seemed that his cold was not completely cured yet.
"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on. Take a rest when you need to."
"Well, thank you, teacher."
After the conversation, Wang Haibo left the laboratory.
Ling Zhi looked at Director Wang's leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
He did catch a cold, but not yesterday afternoon, but after the game last night.
Before the game yesterday afternoon, Ling Zhi was still wearing short-sleeved shirts, but he didn't expect that as soon as the game ended in the evening, he would be punished by the cold wind coming from the north!
The weather at the turn of autumn and winter is cool to some people, but for Ling Zhi, it is a bit cold, so as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he found that he had a cold.
Therefore, when Lexus said that he had a cold, he was not completely lying, but the timing was just... a little careless.
As for the question that Director Wang just asked, Ling Zhi felt that he had answered it appropriately. It did not affect the image of other students in Director Wang's mind, nor did he say that he came every day, but "told the truth".
, even if Director Wang asked other students, he could not find any loopholes.
After all, the other students only knew that they did not come yesterday afternoon. As for what they were doing, they did not know.
Recalling Director Wang's question just now, Ling Zhi was still a little frightened. He thought to himself that he must not tell Director Wang about the game, otherwise, he would definitely encounter the most severe objection from Director Wang!
After all, Director Wang had objected to going to Pengcheng for a scientific research internship, let alone a billiards game that had nothing to do with scientific research.
It seems that he must ensure the progress of scientific research on a daily basis, so as to ensure that Director Wang will not suspect that he has invested too much time in other things.
...
A few days later, Ling Zhi realized that his cold was almost gone, so he took the initiative to ask Zhao Shiyan to go for a run at the Huada playground in the evening.
A tacit understanding has been formed between the two. Generally, if Ling Zhi feels that he is not busy at night, he will ask Zhao Shiyan to come for a run in the evening in advance.
And if Ling Zhi doesn't have an appointment, then at a certain time in the evening, Ling Zhi will receive a voice call from Zhao Shiyan on time, inviting him to run with Linhai University.
In the evening, after Zhao Shiyan came to Huada, the two began their daily exercise.
After the run, they took a walk to recover their strength and chatted about the world.
Ling Zhi told Zhao Shiyan some suggestions from coach Xingchen for his follow-up training, and said that there will be a Chinese eight-ball Citizen Cup event in mid-December, so that Ling Zhi can experience it if he has time, and Ling Zhi is naturally very happy.
Then he talked about the instructor's question to him. He guessed that Director Wang had some doubts about him, but he didn't leave any obvious loopholes. This made Zhao Shiyan somewhat relieved.
Zhao Shiyan also told Ling Zhi about her nine-ball training with Lili these days. She said that she could already clear the table in 1-2 out of 10 games. If she wanted to improve further, she needed to improve her skills.
The movement is so delicate.
As for Lili, after changing the method of controlling pole speed, she was still tepid in the first few days, but then she improved rapidly. Now she plays against Zhao Shiyan, and she can basically clear the table in more than 4 out of 10 games.
Both accuracy and positioning are the best she can do at this stage!
"Lili is so powerful now! I'm even worried that I won't be able to catch up with her."
"Don't belittle yourself, you are making rapid progress."
Zhao Shiyan nodded lightly. Although Ling Zhi said this to comfort her, she still felt very happy. But at this moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and slowly put her hands behind her back, squinting and smiling.
Said to Ling Zhi:
"By the way Lingzhi, tell me, how long have we been together?"
"Ah? Let me think about it. If we count from the day I confessed to you, it should be more than 2 months."
"No, no! We have been together for 5 months!"
"Oh, I understand, you started counting from the first day we met, right?"
"Not exactly, I started counting from... the day I returned "The Catcher in the Rye" to you!"
So that’s it.
Huh? Something seems not right. Although Ling Zhi can understand what Zhao Shiyan means, but if you think about it carefully, this statement is very strange.
If you just want to clarify which day it started, there should be other easier explanations, such as the day when she played doubles with Bai Ming, or the day when she first went to Zhao Shiyan's dormitory, but she was alone
I mentioned this book alone, could it be...
Seeing Zhao Shiyan's eyes flickering, Ling Zhi became more and more certain of his guess, so he asked Zhao Shiyan meaningfully:
"Hurry up and confess, what did you put in the book?"
"Ah? No... nothing."
"I don't know you yet? You've never been good at lying, and you feel guilty whenever you lie! Come on, come on, be honest!"
"Uh, okay, I...I did put a note."
Well, this was exactly what Ling Zhi had guessed, so he wasn't too surprised. He just felt a little regretful that he didn't go back and finish reading the book, so he hurriedly returned the book to the library.
"So what's on the note?"
"I wrote... I wrote... Oh Lingzhi, you are so annoying! We are all together now, that kind of thing is not important anymore! And who asked you to return the book so quickly?
?You can’t blame me for not seeing it!”
"Yes, yes, blame me, blame me, but since you don't want to say it, then I will go find it myself."
After that, Ling Zhi ran towards the direction of the Huacheng University library.
