Chapter 29
"I, I..." Shi Zhi hesitated and didn't know what to say.
"Now that the research has reached the final step, but you suddenly asked for this, I have to doubt your intention!" Director Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi Zhiji.
Shi Zhi already accepted what he said before, but now the old man said that he couldn't accept it!
"I just want to delay some time, so I don't need to say that!" Shi Zhi retorted dissatisfied.
"Oh, delay? What if during this delay time, the eliminate agent is known by those robots? They have some kind of wise man, and they have developed an antidote?" Director Zhang sneered, and continued: "What if this delay is to delay the transfer of the elimination agent data to the robot?"
"Director Zhang! You, you..." Shi Zhi glared at Director Zhang, too angry to speak.
"Director, although Xiaoji is a bit abnormal, she has put in a lot of energy for this research. It's not appropriate for you to say that!" The deputy director also knew that Shi Zhiji wanted to use his feelings to win him over. A little angry, but seeing that she was deliberately slandered by Director Zhang, she couldn't help but said.
"Heh, what's wrong? Don't you know how important this research is! No abnormalities are allowed!" Director Zhang said seriously.
"The time is over. You have asked for a lot of leave recently, and you have made such a request. I have to doubt you, but now that the research has reached a critical juncture, I will not ask to investigate you. You have been suspended! Wait until the research is over before reinstating your job! Director Zhang sneered slightly.
"Suspension!?" Shi Zhi stared blankly at Director Zhang, a bit unresponsive.
"Suspension!? Director, this, this...isn't that good! Xiaoji didn't do anything, but..." the deputy director questioned with a frown.
"If I say suspension, I will be suspended! I am the director. To be on the safe side, why not suspend an ordinary researcher!?" Director Zhang interrupted the deputy director.
Shi Zhi already clenched his fists, "Director Zhang, this is not good! Uncle Xia..."
"Xia Zhengming? Heh, he can't protect himself, and he still has time to watch you!?"
"What!?" Shi Zhi didn't pay much attention to others, and he didn't know what happened in the military department.
"Hey, in short, you have been suspended! Pack up your things and go home!" Director Zhang didn't explain, only sneered.
Shi Zhi gritted his teeth. In the past, Director Zhang also hated him, but he never dealt with him so blatantly. One is for his own reputation, so as not to be said to be bullied by the big, and the other is that Shi Zhi has made good friends with the military. , he did not dare.
It was the first time that Shi Zhi encountered this kind of undisguised bullying, but he couldn't stop it. He was indeed just a small researcher.
I went to my place to pack my things, and just halfway through packing, I heard some people next to me talking about my suspension.
The spirit of gossip is really everywhere, Shi Zhi has already complained silently, forget it, isn't it just suspension!I can go back and have a good rest for a while, which is great!
Even though he comforted himself like this, Shi Zhiji couldn't help but feel angry.
"...Professor?" Xiao Nan called out hesitantly.
Shi Zhi paused for a moment before realizing that it was Xiao Nan who said it. During this time, Xiao Nan and himself avoided each other. This is the first time Xiao Nan has spoken since Xiao Nan confessed!
Shi Zhi already responded, because the suspension should have responded happily, but now Shi Zhi has lost that mood.
"Is the professor suspended by the director?" Xiao Nan asked worriedly, seeing that Shi Zhi had nodded, and couldn't help but angrily said: "This old man! He must be jealous of the professor's contribution in research and wants to snatch it away." Thanks to the professor!"
"Probably!" Shi Zhi smiled helplessly, if this is the case, what can I do?
"I'm going back first, you should work hard!" Shi Zhi shook his head, now he can only wait for them to start releasing the eliminate agent and hide Shi Jinzhi.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the research institute, he saw Director Zhang, and Xiao Nan, who had just finished seeing him off, suddenly became nervous, for fear that the old man would do something.
Director Zhang ignored her, and only glanced up and down Shi Zhiji, walked up to her, with a warm smile on his wrinkled old face, but said: "You are as clueless as your mother! Now Xia Zhengming also I can't protect you anymore, let me see what you can do!"
Director Zhang went straight back to his office after speaking, but Xiao Nan was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but Shi Zhi stopped him.
I have already been suspended, so it doesn't matter, but Xiao Nan also offended Director Zhang, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable.
After driving all the way home, Shi Zhi was in a better mood, but unexpectedly, Shi Jinzhi hadn't cooked the meal yet, but that's right, he was suspended from work, so he came back earlier.
Shi Zhi was already eager to ask Xia Zhengming what happened there, so he didn't think much about it, and naturally he didn't notice Shi Jinzhi's dazed expression.
"Well, is that so? I see, I'm sorry, Uncle Xia, I..." Shi Zhi already apologized with some shame.
"It's okay, I should be the one to apologize. I can't protect you. I'm really sorry for your mother!" Xia Zhengming smiled bitterly and apologized.
After the call was over, Shi Zhi sighed. Xia Zhengming is the commander of the military department, so it can be said that he has a high position and authority.
However, recently, the Anti-Human Robot Alliance has committed crimes frequently, and the military has inevitably been negligent in responding. Many members who are not used to him have impeached him in the parliamentary meeting.
Although it is very unlikely that Xia Zhengming will be pulled down due to his years of management and his reputation, the blow is not small. Recently, he can only hide his strength and bide his time. The Director Zhang is also blatantly attacking Shizhi because of this point. already.
After figuring out what I wanted to know, Shi Zhi didn't know what to do anymore. She was originally the kind of home girl who didn't go anywhere, and now that she was suspended, she had nothing to do.
Sitting on the sofa and staring at the advertisement for a long time, I'm bored, so I just go back to the bedroom and sleep!
"Call me when the meal is ready!" Shi Zhi had yelled casually and went to her room, depressed, she still didn't notice the girl's low mood.
When she entered the bedroom, she flung herself on the bed after Shi Zhi had passed. The empty room made her think wildly.
Thinking of director Zhang, Xia Zhengming, and the deputy director finally thought of his mother.
My mother undoubtedly loves robots and longs for robots to have feelings and live in peace with humans, and she has made many efforts for this.
Thinking of what she did today, Shi Zhi felt ashamed again. She didn't regret it, but she was ashamed!
Turning over and lying on the bed, the pale white ceiling came into view, Shi Zhi couldn't help laughing at himself, "I'm still really a selfish person!"
I don't know how long after I fell asleep in a daze, there was a knock on the door, probably the meal is ready!
Shi Zhi rubbed his eyes, opened the door, but what he saw was not the expected Shi Jinzhi, but Xiao Nan.
"Professor." Xiao Nan called out with a wry smile.
Shi Jinzhi was still in the kitchen, so he asked Xiao Nan to chat with him on the sofa.
"What's the matter? Did something happen to the research institute?" Shi Zhi guessed.
Xiao Nan frowned helplessly, nodded and said, "Well, many people were suspended and fired this afternoon."
"Since the professor left, Director Zhang has become more and more arrogant. He has taught everyone who disliked him or provoked him. Those who can resign have resigned, and those who can't have been suspended."
Shi Zhi's heart skipped a beat, "Then you?"
"I was fired." Xiao Nan smiled wryly. Although she entered the research institute mostly because she wanted to be closer to the professor, it was also the result of her hard work!
Shi Zhi had already gritted her teeth, anger filled her heart, but she couldn't do anything, and she said guiltily after a while: "I'm sorry, I... have troubled you."
"No, it's not about the professor. Even if there is no professor, if I don't regard him as my leader, I will be dismissed." Xiao Nan persuaded.
"Then do you have any plans in the future?" Shi Zhiji was still a little guilty, and decided that if Xiao Nan wanted anything, he must help her.
"Ah, I..." Xiao Nan lowered his head and pondered for a while, "I might go back to school! The school wanted me to stay in school early in the morning."
"Well, that's not bad!" Shi Zhi had already relaxed, and it didn't have too much impact on Xiao Nan's life, that's good!
As soon as the topic fell, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Xiaonan just confessed his love not long ago, and he failed. Now that there is no topic about the research institute, the two of them don't know what to say.
"Professor." Xiao Nan said suddenly, looked towards the kitchen and said, "Did the professor accept her request?"
Shi Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked at the kitchen. Fortunately, the girl was still cooking. There was an aggressive sound of chopping vegetables from the kitchen, so he probably didn't hear it!
Shi Zhi already didn't want Shi Jinzhi to know, whether it was the research or his own request.
Xiao Nan looked directly at Shi Zhiji, and asked again. She had basically confirmed Shi Zhiji's thoughts, but she was always unwilling to hear it with her own ears.
"What... Accept, she, her, me, we..." Shi Zhi wanted to deny it, but he couldn't say it.
"Professor!" Xiao Nan interrupted the meaningless words, and said with a tone of resignation: "Professor, if there is no this robot, will the professor be with me?"
Shi Zhi looked at Xiao Nan helplessly, finally lost in her stubborn eyes, lowered his head and muttered: "I don't know..., I never thought... who I'll fall in love with."
"Thank you, Professor...you're still so gentle." Xiao Nan glanced nostalgicly for a while, and was willing to give me a hope, letting me know that it was possible for me, and that I didn't fall in love with the wrong person from the beginning.
Xiao Nan simply left, after getting the answer he wanted.
Shi Zhi watched Xiao Nan leave in a daze. She never felt that she was gentle, and even felt that she was selfish. Those words just now were indeed from her heart.
Maybe Xia Fangyi can make Xiao Nan feel less sad!Shi Zhi already recalled the last time he saw Xia Fangyi in the parking lot.
"The meal is ready!" The girl's crisp voice came from the kitchen.
Shi Zhi suddenly felt as if he knew what happiness felt like.
No matter how much suffering you suffer outside, there are still people waiting for you at home. Probably, this is happiness!
