“You’re right.” He just said in agreement, “Then I’ll help you make an appointment with Luo Zhan on Sunday.”
Tang Ran’s expression brightened up, and she wanted to nod in agreement, but hesitated: “Will Luo Zhan be free on Sunday?”
“Yes.” Tan Yunchang joked, “As long as you ask him out, he will find time to come and see you no matter what time it takes.”
The little girl blushed and nodded vigorously: “Thank you, manager.”
“Thanking me for what…”
Tan Yunchang turned around and looked at the mechanical box, and he raised his voice mischievously.
“If you want to thank someone, then thank your robot that is so responsible that he teaches you about love in person.”
“…”
Early Saturday morning.
K University, INT Lab.
As the door opened, a few boys in the laboratory who had just finished breakfast in the cafeteria came in, chatting animatedly about something.
Just a few steps into the laboratory, their voices unconsciously became quieter.
After another three or four seconds, several people looked at each other in unison and lowered their voices to the lowest possible level:
“What’s going on? Why is the lab so quiet?”
“I don’t know…”
“Just now I heard the lab was so quiet from outside, I thought no one was there, but it turns out everyone is here, isn’t it?”
“That’s right, hey – Senior Brother Gao.” The one walking in front grabbed the boy who was working on algorithms at the computer desk next to him, and asked with a smile: “What’s going on today? Why is the lab so quiet?”
The boy who was hooked turned around and said helplessly: “You guys should be quiet today.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Senior Brother Liu from our laboratory came in at around 4 o’clock this morning and found Brother Zhan there.”
“Ah? Brother Zhan came so early today?”
“It’s not that he came early,” the boy whose shoulder was hooked lowered his voice, “He didn’t leave at all after he came back last night. He stayed up all night in the lab and didn’t sleep until almost six this morning when he lay down on the sofa in the back room.”
“Wow.” The man stood up in surprise and lowered his voice to the lowest level, “Who has offended him? I remember that Brother Zhan would only do this when he was in a bad mood… and I remember that no matter how unhappy he was, he never passed Xiao.”
“So.”
The boy at the computer desk stood up, turned around and gestured: “Brother Zhan’s mood is so low today, I guess it’s his old man who’s causing trouble again? Anyway, you guys better be careful today and don’t provoke him again.”
“Understood.”
“…”
The lab was quiet for most of the morning.
There was a constant stream of news in the INT group, and everyone was guessing which god dared to offend Luo Zhan so cruelly, and they didn’t know whether the culprit was still alive.
Until Tan Yunchang, who woke up late, popped up in the group: “Hey, don’t guess – there is no culprit. Even if there is, your brother Zhan is reluctant to do anything to him.”
It was obvious that someone knew the inside story, and the atmosphere in the discussion group named [INT team technical exchange group] immediately became heated.
Tan Yunchang pretended to be arrogant: “Wasn’t this discussion group founded by the founding members of the INT team? Luo Zhan must at least be an administrator, what if he hears and kicks me out of the group?”
Someone immediately replied: “Brother Zhan is the group owner, but it’s okay, he has never been too lazy to use this kind of social software, so he definitely won’t see it.”
Tan Yunchang: “Really?”
“Yes, Senior Tan, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly – what is the reason for Brother Zhan’s behavior today?”
“What else could it be?” Tan Yunchang leaned back in his chair, typing comfortably and proudly on the screen. “Your brother Zhan’s little girl ran away with someone else today. He’s jealous.”
“…”
As soon as Tan Yunchang sent this message, the group fell silent.
After a few seconds, some people responded.
“???”
“If they say the sun rose from the west this morning, I would go and take a look, but Brother Zhan is jealous? There’s no way that’s going to happen.”
“When did Brother Zhan have a little girl? Impossible, impossible, we haven’t even seen one.”
“Brother Zhan, if he really has a little girl someday, will she be willing to run away with someone else? Senior Tan, your lies are too illogical.”
Tan Yunchang tapped on the keyboard: “Hey, you guys, you asked me to tell you, but now you don’t believe me? If you don’t believe me, go ask Luo Zhan yourself – did he hint to the girl yesterday but then failed to date her and was abandoned? Ask him if this is true!”
Just as Tan Yunchang finished sending the message, the door lock of the laboratory room clicked.
The door opened.
The sleepy young man rubbed the back of his neck and walked out with droopy eyes. His handsome face looked lazy and indifferent, with no emotion at all.
He walked straight to his computer desk, pulled out the swivel chair, sat down, and leaned back in the seat.
The lab was silent for a few seconds.
Just as everyone was beginning to exchange glances, they suddenly heard everyone’s cell phones “ding dong” at the same time.
——Obviously it was a group message.
Everyone in the laboratory was wondering who was so fearless that they still dared to gossip about him in the group even after Luo Zhan had come out, but they still clicked on it out of curiosity.
Then they saw a very unfamiliar black avatar that seemed to have never appeared before. After Tan Yunchang said in the group, “Ask him if this happened,” he sent a single message:
“It did.”
Next to the black avatar, there was a big stamp with the words “Group Leader”.
Tan Yunchang was the first to react. He was delighted and quickly typed in the group without fear of death:
“Hey, you woke up so early? You were too sore to sleep, right? Look at those people in our group who haven’t had a crush on a girl – they don’t know how jealous you are right now, are you going to teach them a lesson?”
Black Avatar: “Yeah.”
Without waiting for the group to react, two new management messages appeared in the group:
[Member “Tan Yunchang” was banned from speaking for 2 days by the group owner]
[“INT team technical exchange group” has been renamed “CH3COOH[1]” by the group owner]
The next second, in the dead silent laboratory, Luo Zhan threw the phone back on the table and smiled lazily and coldly.
“It’s just so sour.”
Everyone: “… ?”
