Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 178: Sneering and Sneer

(Some content in chapters 175 and 176 was automatically modified. I probably fixed the parts where the sentences were not smooth, but the deleted content cannot be continued. Sorry)

Lu Yao was not a hunter, had no interest in fishing, and didn't even know how to fish.

But he understood one thing, that is, whether hunting or fishing, bait is needed.

From the security knowledge he had gained in his previous life, he knew that the most common method used by spies was to contact the target in a long-term and subtle way. And now he had to "actively" become such a target.

He didn't know whether his girlfriend had talked about the same things he had talked about, intentionally or unintentionally.

But...to be honest, he is not afraid.

Because he didn't tell his girlfriend anything very core.

Just like the example he gave to Xu Ruochu, the operating principle of the radio frequency chip is like this. Ordinary people can fully understand it, so it is naturally not a core secret.

What's more, he is currently just doing research, and somewhat counterintuitively, he is doing it as a freshman.

He is not a member of any secret research institute, so common sense says that he is at most a student-level "powerful" person, and definitely not as good as a researcher.

Therefore, he didn't know whether the other party was really interested in him.

Or it could be a matter of casting a wide net and trying your luck to catch more fish.

But no matter what, a spy coming here must have a purpose.

What he needs to do now is to spread his own bait to let the other party know how "powerful" he is, so as to focus the attention on himself.

It's actually quite adventurous.

Because once the other party focuses their attention on you, then... everyone around you may become the subject of their investigation.

But Lu Yao had to do it.

Didn't even think about it too much.

Because he doesn't dare to think too much. The more he thinks, the more timid he becomes.

The more hesitant.

Fortunately, he understood what role he had to play in this game of catching the fox's tail.

That is a complete and naive person.

do not know anything.

Because you know nothing, you can infinitely guarantee the "safety" of yourself and those around you.

So, when the mixed-race lady in the passenger seat said "I want to hear it", he smiled like a fool without any defense:
"Do you know what a radio frequency chip is?"

"Hmm...computer CPU?"

"what."

Hearing her innocent tone, Lu Yao smiled and shook his head:

"You girls have a very simple understanding of these electronic products..."

"Mr. Gentleman, your preconceived notions are very disrespectful to ladies."

"Uh……"

Lu Yao was stunned, and then looked a little embarrassed:

"Feel sorry."

"I forgive you. So... what is a radio frequency chip? A chip... is the CPU, right?"

"You can understand it that way, but there are distinctions. The specific distinction is actually very complicated... Let me give you an example. For example, this car is a missile..."

He recounted the example he had told his girlfriend and Xu Ruochu.

Luo Xuewei naturally understood this rather superficial and concrete truth:

"In other words, the faster the sound emitted by the radio frequency chip, the better?"

"Yes, you can understand it this way. An ordinary RF chip may take one second to reach the satellite and then return. The model I am studying now may only take 0.5 seconds. The error generated in this round trip will be infinitely reduced, and the accuracy will be higher."

"I see. Now that you put it that way, I think I understand... You are amazing, Lu Yao. This is the first time I have learned about a high-tech product so directly."

Her praise was full of sincerity.

"No wonder Natalia always praises you for being smart in front of me... It's true, you are really amazing. Did you research all this by yourself?"

"Haha, I feel embarrassed for saying that."

Lu Yao held the steering wheel with one hand. Although he spoke modestly, his face was full of smiles.

"Why are you embarrassed? You have such an outstanding talent, you should be proud of yourself."

"Haha~"

"Do you study on your own? Or do you follow a teacher?"

"I'll do my own research."

"Uh...but in the movies and TV shows I see, any research is done by a whole team. Is that fake?"

"Of course it's true. Our industry... how should I put it? Chip research does require a large-scale talent cluster. The more high-end scientific and technological talents gather together, the better. Brainstorming, shortening time, and narrowing the gap. But my current research is not at that stage yet. To put it bluntly, my current research is just a rough model, a model research, which is relatively small. But it is like a prototype. Once this model research is successful, it means that my theory is correct. And as long as the theory is correct, it can be applied to practice. Until then, it is the stage where we really need to invest money in research and development."

"Oh, I see."

Luo Xuewei seemed to have suddenly realized something.

At this time, Lu Yao also drove the car to the Tangchen Jinjiang InterContinental Hotel in Lujiazui.

Luo Xuewei, it's time to get off the bus.

Lu Yao drove the car directly to the concierge desk.

Stop.

"OK...Are you sure you don't want to let Natalia go up?"

"No need, I'll just take her home to rest."

"okay."

The lady nodded and suddenly took out her cell phone:
"Let's exchange contact information."

"Well, yes."

Lu Yao nodded, and after they exchanged phone numbers, she smiled and waved her hand:
"Good night then?"

"Well, good night, bye."

"Ha~!"

With a chuckle, she got out of the car and waved to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao responded and then restarted the car.

The farewell is completed.

Finally, Lu Yao looked through the rearview mirror and watched the royal sister in a black coat walk into the hotel step by step without any shakiness.

Even the wind when walking is elegant and charming.

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Suppressed the excitement in my heart.

Honestly, he didn't even know why he was so excited.

But this kind of stimulation seems real.

But what follows is the review in the mind.

And the possibility of countless predictions about the future extends.

He thought a lot.

Considered various scenarios.

Of course, he also knew that a large part of the "possibilities" he had thought about were just theory.

But it’s better than nothing.

Soon, the car returned to Fortune Garden. After some effort, he carried his unconscious girlfriend on his back and walked into the elevator together.

Hu Li was really drunk.

No consciousness.

Lu Yao stripped her naked and stuffed her into the quilt.

After taking a quick shower, he closed his eyes as well.

It’s just… as soon as I closed my eyes, all I could think of was Luo Xuewei’s shadow.

The eager feeling in my heart was intertwined with a slight chill, and eventually my consciousness gradually became dull and I fell asleep.

……

Hu Li said he wanted to introduce his friends to Luo Xuewei, but Lu Yao was not on the list.

Because Lu Yao is now widely known as Xu Ruochu’s boyfriend.

In order to avoid embarrassment for the three of them, Lu Yao simply did not go.

Since the start of school, he can finally have some free time on Friday.

He did not meet Hu Li this weekend, after all, his girlfriend now has a new love.

Moreover, the band No One Has Birth has already roughly worked out the melody parts of all the songs.

During these two days, everyone was busy with these songs.

As a band, their melody standards are not particularly high under Wu Mengqi's. But as far as LIVE is concerned, they are already good enough to be performed on stage.

After two days, the band had completed the final run-in.

Reached their inner passing line.

As for Wu Mengqi... just wait and see.

So, on Sunday night, when a few people were having dinner together, Wei Qianqian said:
"Shall we put on a show?"

What she meant was to hold the band's first LIVE performance in the school.

Anyway, she and Mr. Xu are members of the student union, so they do have this little privilege.

As for the time...it will be next Friday night.

Lu Yao shrugged to indicate that he had no objection.

Others also responded.

So, the monitor waved his hand:
"Then it's settled. Next Friday... we'll choose the location then. But the time for singing alone seems a bit short, so let's add some other people's songs to make a total of ten."

The band quickly came up with two songs.

One of them is "California Guest House", which is so classic that it can't be more classic.

Anyone who plays an instrument must know this song.

The second song is "We Will Rock You" by Queen.

This song can be used as an opening.

Nine songs and about an hour of performance time, just right.

You have to bring your own musical instruments. The student union will help you build a small performance stage, or you can just borrow the auditorium. It all depends on how you communicate with Wei Qianqian. As for the performance promotion... just post a big-character poster on the bulletin board and post it on the school website.

A student band, whose main theme is simple and rough.

Moreover, she moved quite quickly.

When they returned to the dormitory at around 10 o'clock in the evening, Lu Yao and Xu Ruochen both saw the content of the big-character poster she sent, as well as the draft of the post.

At the same time, she also communicated with the president of the student union and agreed to use the school auditorium as a performance venue from 6 to 7: on Friday evening. Someone in the student union even agreed to help as a free lighting technician.

It is really easy to get things done if you have someone in the court.

After seeing that everyone in the group had no objection to the promotional content, she directly posted it on the campus website.

Less than 10 minutes after I posted it, the post was pinned to the top and highlighted in bold.

Apparently, she even contacted the administrator.

Extremely detailed.

[Hello everyone, we are the band "No One Survives". On March 3th, next Friday at 17pm, we will hold a small LIVE performance in the auditorium of our school...]

As soon as this post was released, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Not to mention anything else...the song "Flowers" is indeed performing very well at the moment.

It’s just that the band members don’t accept commercial performances and there is no company promotion, so the popularity is just empty talk.

However, as students of Fuhua, many of them were impressed by them. When they saw the post announcing that they would have six original songs this time, they expressed their interest.

Not to mention... best of all, it's free.

No tickets, just come and go. It's just right for weekend entertainment.

After about an hour, the number of people who replied to the post expressing their expectations exceeded 100.

Liu Mingze also received requests from Lu Yao and Xu Ruochen.

He will help make lyrics slides for seven songs, which will be used as backgrounds for the performance.

Old Liu agreed readily.

……

Early Monday morning.

Lu Yao saw Bai Yao on the playground on time.

"Morning, Senior."

"Well, morning."

Bai Yao glanced at him and asked:

"Performance on Friday? All your songs are done?"

"correct."

Lu Yao smiled and nodded:
"Although it hasn't reached the album standard yet, there will be no problem with the LIVE performance. Senior sister, you must come."

"Of course I won't be absent."

Senior Sister Leng Yan, who liked every song, said as a matter of course, and then asked:
"Those people from Jiaotong University last time, can I bring them here?"

"Uh... is that too far?"

"It's not far, and they've all heard your songs. They'll definitely like them."

"Haha, then invite them. I hope we won't let them down."

"Will not."

Hearing this answer, Lu Yao thought to himself that you have more confidence in us than we do in ourselves.

Then, he heard the senior ask:

“Can I record it?”

"Yes, of course."

"I mean with a camera."

"……what?"

Lu Yao was stunned:
"camera?"

"Yes, this is your first LIVE, right? It's very memorable. I can record it for you."

"Hehe, okay. Then you have to take handsome photos for me."

"what."

Senior sister Leng Yan showed a very happy smile.

Then, she took off her coat, moving her shoulders and nodded to Lu Yao:
"let's start."

"Ah."

She was in front and Lu Yao was behind. After the two groups of marks had finished their exercises, the two of them ran in circles around the playground.

While running laps, Lu Yao looked at the slender figure running with long legs in front of him. Now he basically does not avoid looking at her, but his eyes are full of admiration.

On the one hand, it is the other person’s figure.

Good indeed.

On the other hand, he also began to consciously correct his running posture.

After all, the other person's running posture is really beautiful.

Appearance is fighting power.

……

"This Wednesday, when your instructor comes back, I'll help you start calculating the data. I'll give it to you next week at the latest."

Bai Yao said while eating.

"okay."

Lu Yao nodded and agreed.

"Besides, I'm having dinner with your girlfriend tonight."

"...?"

Lu Yao was caught off guard and was stunned.

Have dinner with Hu Li?
"…She didn't tell you?"

"Uh……"

After a while of thinking, Lu Yao finally understood who she was talking about and shook her head subconsciously:

"No."

"oh oh."

Seeing this, Bai Yao didn't say much.

However, at night, when she saw Xu Ruochu walking into the box, there was a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

This dinner tonight was not organized by her, but by someone else.

Aunt San asked her to come, so she came.

She was not familiar with the others. Or to be more precise, she and Xu Ruochu were not particularly familiar with each other either.

But it didn't stop her from observing the other person.

Xu Ruochu is very beautiful.

Another eldest daughter of the Xu family.

According to my third aunt, among the young people of this generation, her favorite is Xu Ruchu.

But...Xu Ruochu, who appeared to be intelligent and elegant in front of her, was a completely different person in her eyes.

For some reason...she always felt that the relationship between him and Lu Yao was very strange.

They were obviously boyfriend and girlfriend, but... Lu Yao's reaction was too bland.

It's not like the state you feel when you like someone.

At the same time, she wasn't particularly fond of Xu Ruochu.

As for the reason...she saw the shadow of her mother, and even her second and third aunts, in the other person.

In other words, the shadow of one's childhood.

A child who grew up in a normal family would not understand her thoughts.

Nor will I understand her shadow.

That kind of... shadow of my father being a son-in-law who married into the family.

Growing up, she had heard many comments directed at her father.

"I heard your father married into the family."

"Why do you take your mother's last name and not your father's?"

"Have you heard that Bai Yao's father is a son-in-law?"

"Her father is a loser, but her mother's family is rich, so she can recruit a live-in son-in-law."

"Dad, look, that's Bai Yao from our class. The guy next to her is her dad, a son-in-law who married into the family..."

From the carefree words of children in childhood to the criticism behind their backs after they grow up.

It is enough to turn a lively and cheerful girl into a girl with facial paralysis who has a dead face every day.

Even though everyone has learned to restrain their expressions and emotions as they grow older, she is very good at observing people's expressions and can still see the strange looks in many people's eyes when they look at her.

Even though mom and dad are obviously very loving.

Even though... my grandparents don't like me, I have to look kind.

All of this is the childhood trauma that she cannot talk about.

This is also the main reason why she finds it difficult to have a good impression of Xu Ruochu.

Lu Yao and she...are so much like his own parents.

Although my father was also an outstanding person, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness when facing my mother's family.

So, my mother chose to leave Shanghai.

After moving to Yanjing, the three of them lived a simple life behind closed doors.

But what will Lu Yao do?

He is extremely talented.

And, he is a person with a firm heart.

From this point of view, she could not see any sign of compromise in the other party.

What's more...when he chatted with Lu Yao about Xu Ruochu, he always looked indifferent.

Then think about the other person's passive personality.

Bai Yao became more and more certain that in this relationship, Xu Ruochu must be the dominant one.

Just like... my third aunt.

This made her even more unhappy.

Especially when seeing that Xu Ruochu came alone.

Why not call Lu Yao to join us?

Do you think Lu Yao doesn't deserve to sit here?
She frowned slightly.

Until Xu Ruochu, who was greeting everyone, made eye contact with her.

The eldest daughter of the Xu family smiled gently, nodded politely to her, and walked over.

"Bai Yao, long time no see."

"Well, long time no see."

After she responded, someone asked Xu Ruochu to sit down.

But Xu Ruochu waved his hand and pointed at Bai Yao:

"I'll just sit here."

Aunt Bai said that she hoped she could help her niece integrate into this circle.

She has a responsibility.

So she sat next to Bai Yao.

Just chatting, he asked with a smile:

"how are things?"

"pretty good."

Senior sister Leng Yan responded politely.

Then he suddenly asked:

"Where's Lu Yao?"

"He...didn't come. He was busy."

"oh oh."

Bai Yao sneered in her heart.

Then he suddenly asked:

"Are you going to the show?"

Xu Ruochu was stunned:
"Performance? ...What performance?"

Ah.

The sneer turned into a sneer.
