Perhaps it was because the test flight of the new mecha was over, but the atmosphere in the research institute was much more relaxed than before. After he finished speaking, Su Mingge walked out of Duan Hengye's office. It seemed like he was going to get a writing brush. It was currently the afternoon break. As soon as the door to Duan Hengye's office opened, the sound of the staff chatting could be heard.
This time, Su Mingge's actions were very fast. Within a few minutes, he had brought the items over. When the staff saw the writing brush and other things in Su Mingge's hand, they gathered around and asked, "Professor Su, what are you holding in your hand?" Unlike the compulsory course of writing with a fountain pen, very few people had seen this kind of "retro" thing in real life.
Hearing someone ask, another staff member walked up and said, "Is this a writing brush?" He asked in an exaggerated tone, "You don't even know what this is?"
"… Okay." The staff member who was looked down upon shook his head and asked Su Mingge, "Professor Su, what are you doing with this?"
Su Mingge, who was surrounded by everyone, smiled and then said to them in a slightly boastful manner, "Me? Watching Dean Duan write. "After saying this, Su Mingge walked directly to Duan Hengye's office. Behind him, a bunch of staff members widened their eyes and looked at Duan Hengye's office in disbelief.
Watching Duan Hengye write? With a writing brush?
After hearing Su Mingge's words, the staff members were stunned. It wasn't until Su Mingge disappeared in front of them that they finally realized what Professor Su said.
After Su Mingge entered the office, the silver-white door of Duan Hengye's office began to slowly close. Hearing Su Mingge's footsteps, Duan Hangye, who was looking at his "work" just now, couldn't help but raise his head and look ahead. Then, he saw … a bunch of staff members poking their heads out behind Su Mingge.
In fact, there weren't many staff members in the work area outside Duan Hengye's office. After spending so much time together, Duan Hengye already knew them. Normally, these staff members would always be serious and professional in front of Duan Hengye, but now, during lunch break, they finally revealed their original personalities.
For some reason, Duan Hengye unknowingly became happy when he saw them like this.
After Su Mingge entered the office, the door of the director's office slowly closed. At this moment, the staff members who were looking outside the office suddenly noticed that Duan Hengye raised his head and looked in their direction. Even though everyone had gradually become familiar with Duan Hengye, for most staff members, Duan Hengye's image was still closely tied to the word "serious".
Therefore, when the staff members at the door saw Duan Hengye looking in their direction, they instantly looked away and lowered their heads, pretending to be busy. When Su Mingge saw the reaction of the people outside, he finally couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. After Duan Hengye looked up, he wasn't as angry as they thought, nor did he show a serious expression. On the contrary, Duan Hengye glanced at the staff members who were secretly observing at the door and said, "Stop looking outside, come in."
After Duan Hengye finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and gently tapped on the holographic screen beside him. Then, the office door that was about to close lit up, and finally opened again. If it was said that when the door was half open, there were still people who doubted if they had heard wrongly when Duan Hangye called them in. Now that the door to the dean's office had reopened, everyone finally confirmed that they had not heard wrongly.
Even though their usual place of work was outside Duan Hengye's office, as ordinary staff members, they never had the opportunity to step into the office of the director of the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute. Now that they heard Duan Hengye's invitation, even though they were extremely excited, they still didn't walk in.
Su Mingge had brought a lot of things with him, and now, they were all piled up on Duan Hangye's desk that originally had nothing on it. Duan Hengye lowered his head and stopped the pen that was about to roll off the table. When he looked up again, he saw that the office door was clearly open, but the five or six staff members outside all stood in place. No one dared to come in.
"What's wrong?" Duan Hengye couldn't help but ask in confusion. After hearing his words, Su Mingge, who had been fiddling with things, also raised his head and looked outside. He then said, "You guys aren't coming in? Then I'll help Dean Duan close the door? "
Hearing this, the staff members who were still hesitating finally seemed to be motivated. After a few seconds, the few of them appeared together in Duan Hengye's office.
Even though they had been working outside this office for a long time, they had seen the scene inside many times. They also knew the "minimalist" layout of the office. But when they actually came in, they finally had an intuitive understanding of how "clean" Duan Hengye's office was.
Just like how Duan Hengye felt when Su Mingge said that there was a writing brush in his office — anyone who had been to Su Mingge's office would think that it was a grocery store. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, in short, everything could be found in the office. Therefore, with Su Mingge as a reference, Duan Hengye's office seemed even more empty.
Just as everyone was silently observing Duan Hengye's office, he and Su Mingge finally gathered the large pile of things together. In fact, Duan Hengye had practiced a lot of calligraphy in his previous life, but after he started working, he rarely practiced.
When everything was neatly arranged, Duan Hengye first picked up the writing brush. Then, he turned slightly to Su Mingge and said, "I haven't practiced in a long time. Maybe my writing isn't very good."
"It's okay!" Su Mingge was still immersed in the poem Duan Hengye had just written for him. When he heard Duan Hengye's words, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "Not many people know how to write these days."
Duan Hengye nodded silently and spread out a piece of rice paper. Although Duan Hengye hadn't touched it for many years and even changed his body, because of thousands of years of practice when he was a child, these movements had long been deeply engraved in his soul.
He was very skilled at spreading the rice paper. When the paper was flat on the table, Duan Hengye finally picked up the pen that had been placed on the side. It had been blackened by ink. Seeing this, the staff who were looking around and observing the office all turned their gazes over.
It was strange. The person who was going to write was Duan Hengye, not them, but after seeing his movements, the staff members who were responsible for watching became nervous.
However, Duan Hengye wasn't affected by this nervousness. He raised the pen, and after his wrist hung in the air for a while, Duan Hengye finally slowly put the pen down. What he wrote was an ancient poem that was very famous in China. This poem also existed in the world of "Toppling the Stars".
Duan Hengye's hands were very beautiful. The moment he picked up the pen, everyone exclaimed in their hearts. Because there was almost no excess fat on his hands, and his skin was slightly pale, Duan Hengye's hands looked like a piece of art carved from white jade.
At this moment, the surrounding staff members even ignored the words Duan Hengye was about to write. Instead, all of their attention was focused on his hands. Needless to say … They really wanted to record this moment, but considering the prestige of the dean, no one dared to do anything.
However, Su Mingge was different.
After seeing Duan Hengye's movements, Su Mingge set his optical computer to hover mode and quietly recorded Duan Hengye's writing.
When Duan Hengye finally finished writing, everyone's attention finally began to shift. Wait a minute … Su Mingge couldn't help but open his eyes wide. If he remembered correctly, Duan Hengye just told him that he hadn't practiced for a long time. Maybe his writing wasn't that good?
But now, after seeing the ink on the rice paper, Su Mingge didn't want to believe that the words in front of him were actually "not that good" from Duan Hengye's words.
"Oh my god …" Su Mingge couldn't help but let out an extremely colloquial praise. This sentence was also the voice of everyone present. After working for so long, in everyone's eyes, Duan Hengye had long been labeled as "omnipotent". But now that they saw with their own eyes that he had gained a new talent point in front of them, everyone couldn't help but admire Duan Hengye even more.
Duan Hengye, who was focused on writing, didn't look at the reactions of the people around him. After a while, he finally lifted his wrist from the paper and read the poem he just wrote from beginning to end.
"My hand is a bit rusty." In the end, Duan Hengye calmly commented.
"… Sigh." After listening to Duan Hengye's words, Su Mingge sighed heavily and turned off the optical computer's video mode. He shook his head and said with slight admiration, "Okay, now I'm sure you're really a genius."
Just as Duan Hengye was showing off his calligraphy, Su Mingge's social media account had accumulated millions of comments. Everyone was guessing who wrote this piece of calligraphy. For a time, the few people who were familiar with Su Mingge and had good handwriting were all named. But soon, these people came out and denied everyone's guesses.
There were a few comments that were similar to "Could it be Professor Duan". However, the replies under these comments were almost all "hahahaha". Obviously, not many people took it seriously.
The research institute's lunch break wasn't long. Even though everyone wanted to stay in Duan Hengye's office for a while, they didn't want to disturb his lunch break. After Duan Hengye finished writing his calligraphy, everyone left.
After returning to his office, Su Mingge, who was still excited, finally began to read the comments on his social media account.
"Tsk …" he said to himself while reading, "Why does it seem like no one guessed correctly?"
After that, Su Mingge picked a few of his most liked comments and began to reply to them one by one.
"X post:
Professor Su, can you tell us if the person who wrote this is someone we know?
Su Mingge: You guys know each other.
X + 1 post:
Can you give us a hint? It's so hard to guess … What if the words were automatically generated by the optical computer? It's not impossible, right? When I was young, I finished my writing class homework like this. Cough cough cough ~
Su Mingge:
It wasn't generated by the optical computer. "
After replying to this post, Su Mingge looked through his optical computer's photo album. Finally, he sent out a picture of Duan Hengye's calligraphy that he had just intercepted. He also wrote in his reply section, "This was also written by him. If anyone can guess it, I'll post a video of him writing."
After that, Su Mingge refreshed his comment section again.
After seeing that Su Mingge said that he was going to post a video, the comments below became even faster.
The calligraphy that Su Mingge showed just now was indeed good, but it was still considered common. However, this calligraphy was different. There were very few people in the entire Galaxy who knew how to use this kind of pen, let alone write such beautiful words with it.
"Ah ah ah! Professor Su, are the words that you shared really written by someone you know? I thought it was collected from an ancient book. "This comment represented the thoughts of most people. If Su Mingge didn't say that he would post a video if he guessed it, after seeing Duan Hengye's calligraphy, everyone would think that he collected it from an ancient tablet or ancient book.
Su Mingge's social media account already had a lot of followers. Now that this calligraphy was posted, it rushed to the top of the Galaxy's real-time trending list. There was no other reason — Duan Hengye's ancient poem was really beautiful.
However, after Su Mingge posted the picture, everyone stopped guessing whether it was Su Mingge's friend or someone from the Research Institute. Instead, they focused their attention on several famous calligraphers in the Galaxy.
However, at this moment, Su Mingge's optical computer suddenly rang with a very special notification — someone who was related to him had commented on his post.
Su Mingge's hand that was scrolling through the comments paused for a moment. Then, he opened the notification.
It's actually Yu Xinlan?
When the mecha "Nanzhu" was being manufactured, Yu Xinlan worked at the Research Institute for a period of time. She was mainly responsible for the security of the nearby areas. After a while, Yu Xinlan and Su Mingge became familiar with each other.
Speaking of which, Yu Xinlan and Su Mingge were the same. They were both relatively active on social media. Therefore, after leaving the Research Institute, she would often reply to Su Mingge's posts.
Seeing this, Su Mingge couldn't help but be a little curious. They were both old acquaintances. Would Yu Xinlan guess that the person who wrote this was Duan Hengye?
"Yu Xinlan:
There's no need to guess, this person is our Professor Duan! Su Mingge, just post the video ~ "
Yu Xinlan actually guessed it. After seeing this message, Su Mingge couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, in his impression, Yu Xinlan didn't seem like such a smart person. Also, the tone of the other party's reply … seemed a little overconfident. Therefore, even though Yu Xinlan directly said the answer, Su Mingge didn't post the video.
"Su Mingge:
Yu Xinlan, why do you say that? "
The monk was different from Su Mingge. After seeing Yu Xinlan's reply, the comment section was full of "ahhhhh" messages.
She didn't even need to look carefully to know that these people were all Duan Hangye's fans.
After Su Mingge replied to Yu Xinlan, he waited for a while. When he almost couldn't help but share the video, Yu Xinlan finally replied to him.
Yu Xinlan said in the comment section, "Oh, I showed it to the General, this is what he said."
General … After seeing these words, Su Mingge was completely speechless. Since it was Meng Jinhuai, it was no wonder he was recognized so quickly.
He reluctantly replied to Yu Xinlan, "Okay." After that, Su Mingge finally posted the video to his social media account as promised. At this point, he couldn't help but praise General Yu's reply. If this was any other time in the past, this video of Duan Hengye's handwriting would definitely cause a commotion on Star Web.
But with General Yu Xinlan's reply … even though everyone was screaming, it wasn't because of the video. It was because of the relationship between Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai.
After Su Mingge and the others left the office, Duan Hengye had a simple lunch and wanted to continue researching the mecha manufacturers. But at this time, Duan Hengye's optical computer suddenly received a message.
"Meng Jinhuai: I saw the picture that Su Mingge posted on Star Web. Your handwriting is very nice."
When Duan Hengye saw Meng Jinhuai's message, he was slightly surprised. After all, in his impression, General Yu was very busy on a daily basis. He didn't seem like someone who would read other people's news on Star Web. But before Duan Hengye could reply, his optical computer received another message from Meng Jinhuai.
"Meng Jinhuai:
A Heng, help me write a poem next time. "
It was clearly a simple sentence, but after seeing it, Duan Hengye's heart started beating faster for a few seconds.
"Okay." After writing paragraph after paragraph and deleting them, in the end, Duan Hangye still replied like this.
In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Mecha Research Institute had been on vacation for a long time. At this time, Amro University's vacation was finally over. Although the investigation into the attack last semester had yet to be completed, after a holiday break, the empire's top institution of higher learning had finally returned to its original working track.
Before the official start of the new semester, Amro University sent a long letter to Duan Hengye early in the morning. Although the attack itself was not successful, Duan Hengye encountered such a terrible incident in Amro's territory. If it weren't for his skills, there would have been immeasurable consequences.
Therefore, even though Duan Hengye didn't express his stance on this matter, he didn't mention Amro's security. However, the school was still very nervous. They didn't even worry about whether Professor Duan would come to Amro next semester. Instead, they were worried about whether the research institute and the military's attitude towards Amro would change in the future.
Even though they didn't say it publicly, many of the school's higher-ups were actually thinking about it. Duan Hengye wouldn't come to Amro next semester. It was almost an undeniable fact.
The letter sent to Duan Hengye was mainly an official apology. After the letter was sent, Duan Hengye didn't reply to them for three days. Just as the higher-ups of Amro began to despair and worry about whether Duan Hengye would end all cooperation with the school, they finally received a reply from Duan Hengye.
Unlike what they expected, this reply wasn't sent by Nan Zhuxing or the research institute. Instead … it was sent by Duan Hengye's private account, and the content included the next semester's plan.
Duan Hengye's reply didn't mention anything about accountability at all. He only said that the investigation was handed over to Nan Zhuxing and that he wouldn't pay attention to this matter anymore. However, Duan Hengye still hoped that Amro would take care of the school's security. After all, the students here were the future of the Empire.
Just like the long letter sent by Amro to Duan Hengye, Duan Hengye's reply was also quite long. After receiving this reply, the people who originally thought that they had completely offended Duan Hengye were all dumbfounded. This was because in their opinion, not only was Duan Hengye's reply not official at all, but it was also sincere and worried about the future of the school's students.
Duan Hengye was indeed like what was said on the Star Web. He was a person who looked cold on the surface, but was actually more gentle than anyone else … Duan Hengye didn't know that after seeing his reply, his image in the eyes of Amro and a bunch of other professors improved once again.
The reply to Amro's official letter was later posted on the school's official website, but Duan Hengye didn't have time to look at it. This was because almost at the same time that he replied to Amro, Duan Hengye received a special message on his optical computer.
Ever since that day when he met Lan Jingchi at the military base, he hadn't contacted Duan Hengye for a long time. Also, because there were a lot of things that he was busy with during the Galactic Day holiday, Duan Hengye forgot to continue paying attention to Lan Jingchi's daily research and life. Therefore, when he received Lan Jingchi's message, Duan Hengye was shocked beyond words.
This message read: During the Galactic Day holiday, Lan Jingchi passed eleven exams with full marks on his optical computer and officially skipped a grade.
