In the afternoon, Ling Zhi went to the laboratory and made an appointment to talk to Director Wang today.
Director Wang is one of the few people who knows Ling Zhi’s experience during this period. After all, Ling Zhi did not go to the laboratory during this period. Director Wang could not find him when he asked to correct the paper, so he must have questions.
So when Ling Zhi got his cell phone in the hospital, he briefly told Director Wang about his current situation. Director Wang didn't say much, but just told Ling Zhi to take good care of his health.
After arriving at Director Wang's office, Director Wang asked Ling Zhi to sit down and asked with concern:
"How are you? Are you recovering well recently?"
"Well, thanks to you, I'm almost recovered."
"That's good. The urban villages here are sometimes quite chaotic. Although I have never been there, I have heard that there are many telecom fraud dens there. You should try your best to go to such places as little as possible in the future.
Focus on your research."
Ling Zhi nodded and behaved well in front of Director Wang. At this time, you can't just say directly that you don't care where I go.
Then, Director Wang asked Ling Zhi to complete his thesis as soon as possible, and then ended the conversation.
After walking out of Director Wang's office, Ling Zhi thought about his previous plans, but in the end he still couldn't muster up the courage to reveal his plans.
Now that I have decided to learn football from Uncle Li and the others, I am destined not to spend three days fishing and two days drying the net. It is best to practice every day.
He also had to take care of his daily scientific research work, so he wanted to discuss with Director Wang whether the progress of the paper could be slowed down.
However, no matter how you think about it, this request is unlikely to be granted.
Director Wang obviously cannot support himself in playing basketball. He only cares about whether his scientific research is done well.
And it can be heard from the brief conversation just now that he is not too concerned about Ling Zhi's past these days, only concerned about the progress of Ling Zhi's thesis.
In this case, I can only take time out every night to practice football.
Although this is not as efficient as professional players practicing eight or nine hours a day, for a young graduate student who has not yet entered the professional threshold, in fact, the daily training time does not have to be fixed. In the early stage, it is mainly about playing
Good foundation.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhi secretly decided that it would be better to practice in private without telling Director Wang for the time being.
Back in the laboratory, before Ling Zhi could sit down in his seat, the senior brothers and sisters could not wait to surround Ling Zhi and began to care about his experiences in the past few days.
"Ling Zhi, I heard in the news that there is a young man named 'Ling' who is very brave. Although I didn't say who it is specifically, I guessed it was you, right?"
Senior Brother Zhou Min patted Ling Zhi on the shoulder, with an expression on his face that he had seen through everything.
"Well, it's indeed me. I'm quite lucky that the media didn't publish my name. But think about it, if I haven't been here for the past few days, you can definitely guess it's me, haha."
"So how do you feel now? Are there any sequelae after using that VR device?"
Senior Sister Zhang Xiaoxin asked with concern.
"Probably not. When I first came out of the immersive experience state, I did feel a little uncomfortable, but I have recovered in the past few days."
"Yeah, it's okay. Hey, I've heard that Penguin Company has done research in this area a long time ago. I also fantasized about being able to experience this kind of equipment one day. Now I feel relieved."
Everyone was asking about their Lexus VR experience. Mainly three seniors, Zhou Min, Zhang Xiaoxin and Lin Zheng, were asking questions. The other juniors and juniors did not interrupt too much.
Ling Zhi briefly shared his experience of decrypting it, without revealing Zhao Shiyan's existence too much, so as not to keep the seniors asking questions.
After almost finishing speaking, everyone sat back in their seats and did not disturb Ling Zhi again.
When Ling Zhi was breathing a sigh of relief, another beautiful figure in a floral dress sat next to him, it was Han Qingyue.
"Senior, you have worked hard these days."
Ling Zhi nodded and smiled at her, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
When I was recuperating these days, I often acted as a repeater for others, whether it was the police or my friends, and I didn’t know how many times I had recited that experience.
Based on Lingzhi's understanding of Han Qingyue in the past, he felt that this girl was stunned. She seemed to be very curious about everything around her, and even asked Lingzhi about his salary for collecting data for others.
But now she is sitting aside, which doesn't seem to be a good sign. Maybe she wants to ask about the details of Ling Zhi's experience in the virtual world.
However, unexpectedly, Han Qingyue did not ask about Ling Zhi's immersive experience, but instead asked:
"Senior, I would like to ask, do you know what convex optimization is?"
Convex optimization? Why did you suddenly ask about this concept?
Although Ling Zhi was confused, he still answered honestly:
"Well, I only know a little bit about convex optimization. After all, I'm not working in this direction. If you don't mind, how about we search it together?"
Han Qingyue nodded.
So, Lingzhi turned on the computer, found some blogs about convex optimization, clicked on them, and started reading them with Han Qingyue.
Starting from basic concepts such as convex sets and convex functions, we continued to see some classic cases in combinatorial optimization problems. The two were not impatient at all, and occasionally exchanged a few words. In the end, Ling Zhi concluded:
"In short, the convex optimization problem covers a wide range and is a basic concept in machine learning. Senior Brother Zhou Min and Senior Sister Xiaoxin may know more about this part. If you are interested, you can also ask them for advice."
Han Qingyue nodded slightly, thanked Ling Zhi, and turned to leave.
Although Ling Zhi was slightly confused, he didn't think much about it. He quickly concentrated on writing his thesis.
…
In the evening, Ling Zhi and his three roommates took Li Mengyao with them, while Zhao Shiyan and Yang Jianhuan had a meal nearby. One was to celebrate the successful recovery of Ling and Zhao, and the other was to send off Gao Feng in advance for studying abroad.
Gao Feng is almost ready to study abroad, and has applied for visas and everything. He is expected to leave Huacheng and head to Canada at the end of August.
With this "big man" present, the girls' attention was quickly attracted. They asked Gao Feng about the situation in Canada, and Gao Feng patiently introduced it to them.
After drinking and eating, several people left the restaurant and the girls walked together in the direction of Linhai University.
After watching them walk away, Chen Feng finally couldn't hold back the gossip he had been holding back all night, and asked Ling Zhi:
"Lingzhi, let me tell you, you two have experienced something like that together, and you haven't confessed your love to her yet? Looking at the way you two interacted at the dinner table, I think the time is very ripe, brother."
Ling Zhi smiled helplessly and was about to reply when Gao Feng defended Ling Zhi and said:
"Brother! Not all relationships are suitable for confession, okay? Don't use your theory to apply to Lingzi. Besides, how many times have you succeeded?"
Chen Feng said unwillingly:
"Aren't I worried for Lingzi? It's rare for him to meet a good girl. If he doesn't act quickly, what if someone else takes her away?"
Gao Feng said with a face full of hatred:
"You don't understand this! The two of them have been through adversity together, which really adds a lot of color to their relationship. Even if they don't confess, their relationship won't be any worse."
"So now, it doesn't matter whether you express your feelings or not. What's important is to increase the daily interaction and sharing between two people. This is the top priority, not your theory of confession. Do you understand?"
"Then since you can confess or not, then just confess. You won't lose anything by confessing."
"That's something Lingzi should consider, so don't worry about it..."
Seeing the two people bickering over their love affairs, Ling Zhi was grateful and at the same time, he was also constantly sorting out his own clues.
Do you like her? That's for sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so diligent about asking her out to play ball, let alone being in a secret room, unable to help myself from having sex with her. This is behavior I would never do in reality.
As for the girl, she should also have a good impression of herself. After all, she is not stupid, and she can probably feel whatever attitude others have towards her.
So, do you want to confess?
It should still be necessary, it's just a matter of time.
When is the right time? In the short term, you have to prepare a thesis, and you may not have that much thought about romance. It doesn't seem to be good after a long time, and you feel like you are hanging on to others.
Then wait until your paper is submitted in September?
After making up his mind, Ling Zhi no longer hesitated and instead enthusiastically participated in the conversation between the two Feng brothers...
Lying in bed at night, Lexus recalled the entire incident again.
Although the police obtained information about the relationship between Bai Ming and Uncle Li from Ling Zhi, and seemed to have interviewed them once, this matter did not seem to be related to Uncle Li.
Although Uncle Li was indeed the one who had the ability to provide Bai Ming with the initial capital to conduct the experiment, Uncle Li had no motive. Therefore, he would never doubt that Uncle Li was the person behind the incident.
I am not very familiar with Penguin Company, and I can't tell much from Director Lou and Dean Han's brief contact with Ling Zhi.
Therefore, as of this incident, my work should be over. The only thing left is to trouble the police. I hope they have some clues that they don't know.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhi sorted out all the clues and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
…
In the dim room, Ling Zhi opened his eyes. For some reason, he seemed to be back in the basement again.
He wanted to sit up from the bed, but he couldn't muster the strength and could only stare blankly at the ceiling.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in his field of vision. Although Ling Zhi opened his eyes desperately, for some reason, he still couldn't see the person's face clearly. He could only vaguely feel that the person's expression was dull.
The figure picked up a needle and waved it in front of his eyes, then injected it into his arm without hesitation.
"ah!……"
Ling Zhi opened his eyes again, sweating profusely. He quickly picked up the mobile phone at hand to confirm the current situation.
3:19 am.
The surroundings were dark and completely silent.
The roommates had all fallen into a deep sleep, and his shouting did not seem to wake them up.
Putting down the phone, Ling Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and felt lucky that it was just a dream.
