Chapter 201 Deadline Reached, Second Minor Test
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
In the end, he didn’t knock and left alone.
Since it had nothing to do with him, he shouldn’t interfere.
Jiang Fuyue left just ten minutes later, feeling a bit emotional. Time passed so quickly, and it was already the fifth day. Her right to use this laboratory was also about to expire.
It must be said that a well-equipped laboratory is good.
She couldn’t bear to leave…
This only strengthened her determination to build her own laboratory in the future.
Just like Xie Dingyuan, who was only temporarily borrowing this place.
At eleven minutes past eleven the next morning, Jiang Fuyue completed all the experiments.
From memory, she returned all the instruments and equipment to their original places, and tidied up the experimental table and workstation.
She also bought new brooms and dustpans, as well as a basin and towels, cleaned everything inside and out, and finally took her belongings and left without leaving a trace.
She left quietly, just as she had come silently five days ago.
So when Zhong Ziang and Ling Xuan arrived at the laboratory door at eleven fifty, carrying their lunch, the place was already empty, and all the lights were off.
No wonder they weren’t allowed to come.
The two came excitedly and left dejectedly.
The assistant came to deliver lunch at noon, expecting some gossip as usual, but unexpectedly, everything was quiet today.
This sense of bewilderment persisted until he handed the lunchbox to Xie Dingyuan. “Is that little girl next door not coming anymore? When I passed by, I saw that the lights were all off.”
Xie Dingyuan’s movement froze.
He suddenly remembered Shen Qiannan’s words: she’s alone, without a team, and at most only needs five days.
Today was the fifth day.
Thinking of her burning the midnight oil, busy to the point of not even having time to eat, Xie Dingyuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
If she wanted to continue using the laboratory, she could simply ask. Would he refuse?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
“Professor Xie, um…” The assistant swallowed nervously and pointed to the petri dish behind him, “Your culture dish seems to have been forgotten unsealed.”
Xie Dingyuan’s expression changed abruptly, and he quickly turned around.
The assistant: “?” It was unimaginable that Professor Xie would make such a rookie mistake.
In the afternoon, Jiang Fuyue returned to the NOI training classroom after leaving the laboratory, welcoming the second minor test.
The coach said, “Same as before, I believe everyone is familiar with it, so I won’t repeat it.”
With that, he pressed the enter key, and the test questions were sent to the student terminals from the backend.
Just like the first time, the questions were divided into two rounds, and the second round couldn’t begin until the first round was completed and submitted.
All the question prompts were given in English, and for students with insufficient English proficiency or vocabulary, there was a high risk of misinterpretation in reading and understanding the questions.
Even if the program runs without any bugs, answering off-topic will result in no points.
In the first round, with three questions, Jiang Fuyue completed them in just fifteen minutes, five minutes faster than last time.
Clicking submit, the second round of test questions was automatically sent.
This time, it took a little longer, twenty-five minutes.
There were two questions from previous IOI exams, both from Country D, so the difficulty was self-evident.
When Jiang Fuyue left after submitting her answers, most of the students were scratching their heads at the first sub-question of the first question of the second round, looking perplexed.
“Darn it! Jiang Fuyue submitted her paper again! Didn’t she promise not to practice for a few days? Will her brain and hands rust if she doesn’t? Rust your watermelon rind.”
“Calm down, buddy. It’s not the first or second time. You’ll get used to it.”
“…”
So envy-inducing!
After leaving the gates of University B, Jiang Fuyue didn’t go straight back to University Q, but instead went to a coffee shop across the street.
Upon entering, “Here—” Shen Qiannan waved to her from his seat.
Jiang Fuyue walked over. “Sorry, the difficulty of the questions today exceeded my expectations, so I was five minutes late in submitting my paper.”
“No problem, being able to spend time with a beauty like you is my honor.”
“Oh,” Jiang Fuyue replied.
Shen Qiannan: “…” That’s it? Impressive.
Jiang Fuyue took out the keys from her bag and handed them to him. “The agreed time has come, so it’s time to return the keys.”
“Well, if you want to continue using it, it’s not impossible…”
“My experiments are already done. I don’t need it anymore.”
“I see,” the man’s eyes flickered slightly. “Alright, then I’ll take back the keys.”
“Mhm.” Jiang Fuyue bid farewell and left.
Just before leaving, she went to the front desk to settle the bill.
When Shen Qiannan went to pay, he was told, “The beautiful lady earlier already paid.”
He shrugged and said to the cashier, “Can’t help it, she’s too charming.”
This earned him a melodious laugh from the cashier.
She said, “Professor Shen, you’re really funny!”
Shen Qiannan left the coffee shop, took out his phone, opened the most recent call, and dialed.
After a beep, “Hello.”
“Old Xie, I asked, her experiments are already done, so she doesn’t need to borrow the lab anymore. Congratulations, you’ve finally escaped from the ordeal.”
On the other end: “…”
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”
“…No.”
“Alright, shall I bring the keys to you now?”
“She returned the keys to you already?”
“Otherwise? Is she still planning to hold onto them? Honestly, this girl is quite sensible. She even treated me to coffee just now.”
“…You immediately bring the keys over here!”
“?” Why the urgency?
