It was these days that Xu Lecai and Old Professor Shen became acquainted, but the familiarity was too short, and it was convenient for him to leave this world. He stood in a daze at the door of the laboratory, and it took him a while to digest this shocking and sad news.
Professor Shen is very old and has been in poor health. He stayed in the hospital for a long time last month. When Xu Le chatted with him sitting on the metal stairs recently, he could always smell the old man's seemingly vigorous energy. There was an unlucky sign, but he still did not expect that this worthy old professor would go so fast.
Birth, old age, sickness and death came so suddenly and without reason.
Xu Le was still immersed in this slightly confused and sad mood. This silence made the expressions of the officials at the entrance of the laboratory a little ugly. One of the officials frowned and said extremely impatiently: "Still stunned. What are you doing? Open the door of the laboratory quickly."
This sentence pulled Xu Le out of his sad mood. He squinted at the indifferent officials in front of him, only to realize that today's situation was a little weird. The death of Professor Shen is indeed a big event, but there is no reason for it. The senior officials of the institute, especially the technical director who is directly responsible to the board of directors, will come to the laboratory in person to tell him, the humble assistant researcher. Notify this message.
Since the other party didn't make a special trip to inform him of the news of Old Professor Shen's death, and they were so eager to enter the laboratory, naturally they had some other purpose. Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the indifferent faces of these officials. It was obvious that the other party was not at all saddened by the death of Old Professor Shen. This performance made Xu Le feel a little angry while his heart was heavy.
"Why do you want to open the door of the laboratory?" Xu Le answered directly after being silent for a while.
This answer was obviously beyond the expectations of the upper-level officials. They frowned and looked at Xu Le like garbage. One of them said coldly, "The upper-level officials do things, do I need to explain the details to you?"
"No need." Xu Le lowered his head slightly and replied, "But this laboratory belongs to the scope of joint construction. According to the agreement, I cannot open the laboratory and let you in unless Professor Shen agrees or the board of directors issues a written order."
"You know, I'm the director of the third department of the research institute! This person next to me is the technical director of the board of directors!"
The official was stunned for a while, but did not expect the assistant researcher in front of him to reject his request so calmly and confidently, and angrily rebuked, "Open the door for me!"
Xu Le shook his head and stood at the door of the laboratory without taking out the electronic key card and scanning the chip.
After working in the Nutshell Institute for so many days, and chatting with Professor Shen Lao, he has already understood the way of cooperation between the Nutshell Institute and those famous professors - the Nutshell Institute provides relevant scientific research to these professors Conditions, the final research results, the two parties share in accordance with the provisions of the agreement.
This is a relatively free mode of cooperation, which is more suitable for professors with a light temperament and a preference for freedom to exert their abilities. What's more, Professor Shen has basically been in a marginal area for these years, and has not provided any results to the Federation. The technical support given by the research institute is extremely limited, and even the tools and materials in the laboratory are pulled by Professor Shen personally. sponsor.
No one can enter the laboratory without the authorization of Professor Shen Lao or a written order from the company.
Under such circumstances, why did the upper-level officials of these companies suddenly appear at the entrance of the laboratory and enter in such a hurry? Xu Le didn't understand the reason behind the scenes, but because of the indifference shown by the other party and the wrong feeling of being hidden behind, he silently stopped at the door of the laboratory.
"What are you, how dare you stop me?" The director of the third department of the research institute, looking at Xu Le in front of him, lowered his head, as if he didn't hear his own words, didn't see himself, and his face suddenly became a little awkward. Pointing at Xu Le's nose, he reprimanded loudly, "Finally, I tell you, open the door of the laboratory, and hand over your electronic key card. You won't be going to work tomorrow!"
"You are a senior officer, but even if you want to fire an active soldier, you have no such qualifications." Xu Le raised his head, looked at the officials in front of him calmly, and said, "As a soldier, I have to do things according to the rules. ."
"Where's the military police?" The chief officer's eyes gleamed with cold light, and he didn't intend to talk nonsense with this inexplicable low-level researcher. He looked at Xu Le and said angrily: "The laboratory is the property of the company and the federation, you Do you think it's yours, or is it old Shen? Do you think that if you don't open the door, you won't be able to enter the research institute?"
With the powerful strength of the Nutshell Research Institute, it is undoubtedly a very simple matter to open the electronic door of a laboratory. Today, these officials rushed to the laboratory as soon as they learned of the news of Professor Shen's death. Choosing to enter directly, but waiting for Xu Le's arrival, naturally thought that this matter could be solved in a relatively peaceful and hidden situation.
However, they didn't expect that this young researcher, unexpectedly, stopped them so strongly in front of the door and prevented them from entering. The officials had lost patience and called directly for the arrival of the gendarmerie.
"I don't need the gendarmerie, I'll go by myself."
Xu Le's voice grew louder, and the voice echoed in the quiet corridor. Gradually, many researchers wearing white coats came out of the laboratory next to them, and the crowd looked at the conflict here with puzzled eyes.
Xu Le looked at the arrogant and angry officials in front of him, and said loudly: "Professor Shen is still alive, you will forcibly break into the laboratory. Are you planning to steal something? Unless you come up with a written order from the board of directors, otherwise Don't expect me to open the door for you."
"When people leave, the coffee will naturally get cold. Everyone understands this principle, but Professor Shen has just passed away, and you come here so impatiently. Wouldn't it be too shameless!"
At this time, Xu Le's mood was extremely cold, and he had not yet shaken off the sad news that Professor Shen passed away, and had to face these hateful bureaucrats. However, the anger and shamelessness on his face were shown. Today, he said so much, like a very passionate young man, because he knew that a mere civilian second lieutenant had just joined the Nutshell Company. It is impossible for Yue's assistant researcher to block the decision of the upper management of the company to enter the laboratory, so he must make his voice louder and let more people know this.
On both sides of the long corridor, all are laboratories. The staff of the research institute are not people who like to watch the fun, but they all know the news that Professor Shen passed away last night. At this moment, they found that Professor Shen's assistant was with the company again. The superiors are arguing about something, and they have cast worried and concerned eyes.
They understood what was going on, and when they turned to the eyes of the officials, they showed shameless and contemptuous expressions. Although they didn't know what exactly was in Professor Shen's laboratory, the company would come to seal up the laboratory as soon as the professor left. Emotionally, it was really difficult to accept.
At this time, a team of heavily armed military police rushed to the door of the laboratory from the end of the corridor after receiving the order from their superiors, surrounded Xu Le vigilantly, and was ready to subdue him at any time.
At this moment, the chief technical officer of the board of directors of the Nutshell Company, who had been silent, whispered something in the ears of the chief officials of the three departments. Probably these senior bureaucrats were not willing to do too much under the current circumstances. Excessive.
Xu Le's eyes narrowed slightly, and without giving these officials a chance to turn around in front of the crowd, he said loudly: "If you have the ability, force the door of the laboratory to open today. You don't act according to the rules, but I will appeal according to the rules. I'll take it to the board. If not, I'll take it to the Department of Defense..."
"If you say that the Ministry of Defense is nothing in your eyes, then I will sue to the Supreme Court. Don't underestimate my determination."
After Xu Le said this, without looking at the increasingly ugly faces of the senior bureaucrats, he pulled away the gun in the military policeman's hand, and walked towards the corridor exit without turning his head, holding tightly in his hand. In that bag of small yellow pancakes, I was thinking of what Professor Shen said yesterday, everything in the universe should make sense.
Walking to the empty and quiet parking lot of the research institute, not far away are the military police monitoring him. Xu Le dialed a number silently. When he was smoking and chatting with old professor Shen a few days ago, Xu Le learned the old gentleman's phone number - thinking that the owner of the number had left this world, his mood naturally became sad, and then I heard a voice over there.
In the special ward area of Chester Private Hospital, Xu Le silently looked at the car that was pushed into the cold room, thinking about the peaceful face of the old man in the car, took off the military cap on his head, and held it in his arms. bowed deeply.
"Father went very peacefully." Professor Shen smiled slightly, and said to Xu Le: "Actually, the doctor had clearly told him that he could not last for a few days when he was hospitalized last time."
Xu Le thought about the work he had done in the laboratory with Old Professor Shen a few days ago. When he recalled it at this time, he never felt that Old Professor had the slightest feeling of getting closer to Death.
"Death is something everyone faces." Professor Shen lowered his head and said, "Father was in a good mood when he returned home in the last few days. I think it has something to do with you, thank you."
Xu Le didn't know how to answer this sentence, but fell into complicated emotions. Facing the inevitable death, counting the last bell, the old professor still taught and helped himself calmly. What kind of realm is this
"My father and I didn't have a good relationship before, probably because when he was a teenager, he always worked for the Federation and ignored the family relationship. When his mother died, he was not around." Professor Shen raised his head, Looking at the closed door, thinking that behind a wall is the father who is separated by yin and yang, his voice became sad, "I used to hate him very much, but after I did the same job myself, I realized something."
"So I didn't marry a wife. People like us who dedicate our lives to science may not be eligible to have the family life of ordinary people."
Professor Shen turned his head and said calmly: "My father revised his will the day before yesterday, and the laboratory in the third department of the institute will be handed over to you for continued use. Except for the relevant database permissions in the agreement, which may be returned to the federation, other fathers will study by themselves. The results, as well as those materials and materials, he left it to you."
Xu Le was slightly startled, and his eyes fell on the closed, cold metal door again.
