When Duan Hengye stood up, he finally felt that the current situation was a little strange — — he was too familiar with Meng Jinhuai, and the next segment was very formal. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was someone else, but this person was Meng Jinhuai … Therefore, it was really strange no matter how he thought about it.
The last time Duan Hengye's new mecha was delivered, the state of the Empire was far more chaotic than it was now. And because the Empire's border planets were still in a war, whether it was Meng Jinhuai or the other two generals, they were not in Nan zhuxing. Therefore, the handover ceremony and related activities were naturally canceled.
Therefore, Nan zhuxing hadn't had such a grand handover ceremony for many years.
It wasn't just Duan Hengye, the rest of the audience also noticed this. The ceremony was supposed to be a solemn and formal event between the two major organizations in the galaxy, but when they found out about the relationship between the two people in front of them, the originally solemn atmosphere of the event actually gave birth to a sense of 'warmth' for no reason.
It could even be said that it was a bit like a "wedding".
In addition, because Duan Hengye had been sitting the whole time, the black cloak on his body wasn't very eye-catching. But when he stood up, the cloak's presence instantly multiplied by several times.
The ankle-length black cloak was extremely draping, because Meng Jinhuai's frame was a little bigger than Duan Hengye's. At this time, the Marshal's cloak was particularly loose on Duan Hengye's shoulders. However, because of the slightly larger cut, it finally reduced the seriousness and dullness of the military uniform. Instead, it added a little "lazy" aura to Duan Hengye. Although it didn't fit well, the cloak felt like it belonged to Duan Hengye.
After the next event began, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai stood up together and took a few steps forward. At this time, a familiar staff member from the military began to introduce the content of the next segment according to the procedure list. After the staff member finished speaking, Duan Hengye picked up the metal box, just like the previous procedure.
At this time, the HD live broadcast cameras from various media outlets all focused on Duan Hengye's hand. The HD level of the interstellar era was unimaginable, but even so, Duan Hengye's hand still didn't have a single flaw — it really was a work of art.
Actually, this segment was very simple, but Professor Duan was distracted for a moment. Therefore, after Duan Hengye picked up the box containing the mecha activation medal, he didn't have time to pay attention to what the audience was paying attention to. Instead, he was recalling the next part of the procedure.
Duan Hengye didn't know what metal the box was made of. He had been holding it in his hand for a long time, but it was still as cold as a block of ice. After the segment officially began, Duan Hengye quickly opened the box.
The small silver-white medal was lying quietly on the dark purple velvet lining. It looked very delicate. Duan Hengye's hand paused for a moment. Finally, he slowly took the medal out of the box.
In fact, Duan Hengye only noticed when he was looking at the procedure list that what he needed to do was not as simple as handing the mecha activation medal to Meng Jinhuai.
The mecha activation medal was special. After Duan Hengye held it in his hand, he immediately understood the mystery behind it. Then, he used a little bit of skill to split the medal into two.
After he took the medal out, his assistant, Ye Pu, who was standing next to Duan Hengye, took the box from him again. At this time, Duan Hengye turned around slightly and faced the huge mecha dock.
Under the gaze of countless people in the Galaxy, Duan Hengye slowly raised his hand. Then, he gently threw one of the silver medals in the direction of the dock. In the blink of an eye, a gigantic silver mecha had appeared on the previously empty mecha docking bay.
It was the star of today's show, the new mecha "Nanzhu".
Although the guests in the audience had been watching the mecha for several hours, their enthusiasm didn't decrease at all. After seeing the appearance of the new mecha, the viewing platform instantly erupted into a round of applause. With this background music, Duan Hengye turned around again and handed the other medal to Meng Jinhuai according to the procedure.
The Marshal also reached out his hand. Duan Hengye held the medal with both hands and gently placed it in the Marshal's palm. At this time, Duan Hengye suddenly noticed something – the ring on Meng Jinhuai's finger seemed to be the same as his own.
The stylists in the military had always been very serious and responsible. Aside from preparing the clothes for Duan Hengye in advance, they would also match the accessories. They would even carefully mark the way to wear the accessories on the box that contained them.
Just like the ring that Duan Hangye was wearing today, it was clearly marked to be worn on the left hand … Although it was not detailed enough to say which finger it was, after trying it out, Duan Hangye very naturally wore it on the most suitable ring finger.
As a person who didn't pay much attention to clothing and accessories, Duan Hengye's action of putting on the ring was very natural. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Therefore, when he saw the ring on Meng Jinhuai's finger that was almost exactly the same as his, he finally realized what was going on.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. However, he quickly remembered that he and Meng Jinhuai were originally legal spouses … So, wearing a ring shouldn't be a big deal, right?
However, Professor Duan obviously didn't know how crazy the netizens were.
Actually, when Duan Hengye's hand appeared on camera, the netizens only sighed that he could directly become a hand model. The rest of the netizens focused on the ring on his hand. Compared to the slightly exaggerated ring on Duan Hengye's wedding, the ring on Duan Hengye's hand was much more low-key. There was nothing on the silver-white ring except for some fine diamonds. It would only emit a dazzling silver light when it was illuminated. The rest of the time, it looked like an ordinary ring.
Before Meng Jinhuai reached out his hand to accept the medal, the netizens' attention was only on the object itself. However, when the close-up of the General's finger appeared on the screen, the focus was shifted to the "pair of rings" …
Speaking of which, it was strange. Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were already "old man, old man". However, when the netizens noticed the small details of the ring, they felt like they were being showcased again … It was only a split second, but not long after it appeared, it was captured and played in slow motion. In a short period of time, it became a hot topic in the galaxy.
The medal exchange only took a few seconds. After Meng Jinhuai received the medal on behalf of the Empire's military, he followed the procedure and gave Duan Hengye a surprisingly serious handshake. Right now, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai both had serious expressions on their faces. However, the more serious they were, the more people wanted to see something else.
Even though Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were holding hands today, this "handshake" activity was very novel for the two of them.
After Duan Hengye put down his hand, Meng Jinhuai spoke to him before he even sat down. "Thank you, Dean Duan."
Even though Duan Hengye was the president of the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute, people usually preferred to call him "Professor Duan" instead of "Dean Duan". If a normal person called Duan Hengye this way, it would definitely sound extra polite and distant.
However, the person who called him this today was Meng Jinhuai.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere that was gradually becoming serious changed again. Duan Hengye paused his action of sitting down and looked up at the General.
When the General saw Duan Hengye looking at him, he smiled at Duan Hengye and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Is this really Meng Jinhuai?! Everyone who saw the General's action was shocked by his performance. However, the process of this event was very tight, and the media had to follow the instructions given in advance. They couldn't make any adjustments. After Duan Hengye and the General sat down, the media reluctantly moved their cameras away and began to film the scene in the sky again.
With the mecha that Duan Hangye had personally activated earlier taking the lead, the mecha that had been parked on the side of the viewing platform earlier all appeared in the air and tightly surrounded the mecha that could only hover there temporarily because no one was piloting it.
Duan Hangye saw that the small half of the sky he was facing right now was filled with new mecha. Compared to the clumsy movements of the two old mecha he had seen at the beginning, as well as the simple and basic movements, the new mecha was very responsive. And because the demonstration program was written in advance, compared to the simple test flight he saw a while ago, the current scene was much more beautiful.
Dazzling lights would appear around the mecha from time to time. Although its background was still the empty parking lot, Duan Hangye couldn't help but have the illusion that he was in the middle of space just by relying on the light and the gorgeous movement trajectory.
As the designer, Duan Hengye was amazed by this scene, let alone the guests who didn't have much experience with mechas.
Unlike the lively photo-taking scene just now, everyone's optical computers were no longer working. They stared at the sky, eager to record this beautiful and spectacular scene with their own eyes.
Sometimes, extreme technology also represented extreme beauty. After Duan Hengye noticed the expressions and expressions of the people around him, he couldn't help but feel happy.
As a science and technology worker, a sense of accomplishment was extremely important to their work. Now that the mecha "Nanzhu" was officially flying in the blue sky, Duan Hengye was wrapped tightly in this feeling.
Although the mecha handover ceremony didn't take long, Duan Hengye's mood was relaxed, just as Meng Jinhuai had hoped. In short, compared to when he first arrived, Duan Hengye felt a lot lighter.
After the event ended, Duan Hengye didn't stay in Nan zhuxing for long. He boarded the starship again.
When the starship arrived at the research institute, it happened to be during working hours in the hemisphere where the experiment building was located. In this era, the difference between planets was too great, so the problem of time difference was inevitable. However, Duan Hengye was the director of the research institute and half the owner of Nan zhuxing. His schedule was professionally planned by a team of professionals. Every time Duan Hengye went to Nan zhuxing, Duguang, and the research institute, his schedule was carefully planned by his assistant and team. Basically, he didn't need to spend too much time adjusting his schedule.
However, things were a little special recently. Whether it was Duan Hengye's research work or deciphering documents, a lot of things were squeezed together. Duan Hengye's schedule was no longer as scientific as before. For example, this time, he had to go to Nan zhuxing to attend the mecha handover ceremony.
After resting for a few hours on the starship, Duan Hengye once again pulled himself together. He didn't go back to rest and adjust his schedule. Instead, he went straight to his office in the experiment building. Duan Hengye's nervous mood was slightly eased by the event just now. Now, he felt like he saw the end of the bottleneck period. Inspiration was something that would never come again. Even though he was still a little sleepy, Duan Hengye still chose to continue working.
At this time, the research institute was working in the afternoon. As the deputy director, Su Mingge didn't attend the handover ceremony in Nan zhuxing this time. Instead, he stayed in the research institute and continued to monitor the work here. After working together for nearly a year, Su Mingge and Duan Hengye were now very familiar with the handover of work. Therefore, when Su Mingge heard that Duan Hengye had returned to the research institute, he took his optical computer and went to Duan Hengye's office as usual.
Even though Duan Hengye rested on the way here, it was still early in the morning when he left the research institute today. After a day, there were already some dark circles under his eyes. Duan Hengye didn't have many requirements for fashion or clothing, but he still cared about his image. At least in the past, Su Mingge had never seen Duan Hengye so haggard.
Duan Hengye lowered his head and checked the progress of the research institute this morning, as well as the problems they encountered. Su Mingge, who was standing on the side, finally couldn't help but sit on the chair opposite him. He carefully looked at Duan Hengye and hesitated for a bit. He then said, "Professor Duan, if you're tired now, you should go back and rest. There's nothing important at the research institute right now, I'll just stay here and watch. "
Even though Duan Hengye's daily appearance was very feminine, he had long realized that the vice president wasn't a "gentle" person. On the contrary, Su Mingge was someone who would say whatever was on his mind. He would often embarrass his subordinates — he had even scolded his own staff members until they cried more than once.
When Su Mingge spoke just now, because of some hesitation, he unconsciously stretched out his tone a bit. Therefore, Duan Hengye felt that it was different from usual.
However, as someone who had a low level of observation skills, Duan Hengye didn't immediately understand Su Mingge's meaning. However, after hearing Su Mingge's unusual tone, Duan Hengye couldn't help but raise his head. He looked at Su Mingge and said, "I'm not sleepy right now."
At this time, Su Mingge felt that Duan Hengye's words, coupled with his undeniable dark circles, really made him look like a "stubborn duck". However, after working together for so long, Su Mingge understood that Duan Hengye wasn't someone who could be easily persuaded. So after seeing Duan Hengye's reaction, he curled his lips and shrugged. "… Okay."
Even though Duan Hengye had left the research institute for a while, when he left, the research institute hadn't started working yet. During this period of time, the research institute didn't accumulate much work and problems. While Su Mingge was talking, Duan Hengye just finished reading the documents in his hands. After seeing that there were no problems with these documents, he returned the optical computer to Su Mingge.
Seeing that Duan Hengye was a person who couldn't be persuaded, Su Mingge had no choice but to take the optical computer and leave his office. But today, Su Mingge didn't know that Duan Hengye … This was only the beginning.
Even though there were two things that needed to be done at the same time, in Duan Hengye's opinion, deciphering the documents was more important. After all, he already had the idea of installing new weapons on top of the mecha. Even though the mecha's frame already had space for weapons, the estimation was still not enough. The final design of the weapons could only be done after deciphering the documents.
After the Nan zhuxing event that day, Duan Hengye finally found the rhythm of deciphering the documents. Even though there was an organization with the help of Meng Jinhuai, the most important work still needed to be done by Duan Hengye himself. So recently, other than going to Amro for classes, Duan Hengye spent all his time deciphering the documents. He even temporarily put aside his mecha design.
But for Su Mingge and a bunch of colleagues at the research institute, Duan Hengye had always been mysterious. They didn't know what Duan Hengye was busy with. They only knew that their director had once again entered a frenzied state of work.
At 7: 30 in the morning, the research institute's staff had already arrived at the research building. Because they came here by hover car, they noticed from afar that the lights in the dean's office were still on.
"… The director has been waking up really early recently. I thought I was one of the earliest people to come to work," a staff member said to his colleague standing next to him while changing his clothes. Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the person first took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee on the table, then shook his head and said, "I was on duty a few days ago. When I left the building in the morning, it was around five o 'clock. His office was lit up at that time."
After hearing his colleague's words, a few people who arrived at the office early gathered together and began to talk about Duan Hengye.
"So how long does the director rest every day? I used to think that I was hardworking enough, but now that I'm compared to him, I'm so ashamed … "said another person.
"Hey, but do you guys still remember?" Someone sat on the table with a glass of water and said, "I remember a long time ago, no, last year, Professor Duan seemed to have been living in the research building. Do you guys think he's been living here recently and didn't turn off the lights in the office? "
After hearing this, the person who spoke first also sat down on the chair. He hugged the back of the chair, shook his head, and said, "What are you thinking, the lights in the office are automatically adjusted … But I think the director has been living in the building recently. Otherwise, who can stand coming to work so early every day?"
While they were chatting, people came into the office one after another, including the vice director of the research institute, Su Mingge.
Su Mingge's office was not far from Duan Hengye. If he wanted to go there, he had to pass by this public office area. So inevitably, Su Mingge heard everyone's conversation. At the same time, some staff members who heard Su Mingge's footsteps turned around and began to greet Su Mingge.
Recently, because Duan Hengye had been busy with documents, Su Mingge had been watching the research institute's work closely. Although the work intensity was far less than Duan Hengye's, it was still difficult to come to work early in the morning. Su Mingge walked over and couldn't help but yawn.
"What were you guys talking about just now?" Su Mingge rubbed his eyes gently and asked, "What happened to Professor Duan?"
Unlike Duan Hengye, who still gave people a sense of distance, no one hid anything from Su Mingge. They even often chatted with him. So when Su Mingge asked, the staff member gave him a seat and said, "We're talking about the director. Recently, he's been working early in the morning. When I came here just now, I saw that the lights in his office were on."
After the staff member finished talking, the staff member who was in charge of the shift also told Su Mingge what he had encountered. Unlike the staff member's doubts, after Su Mingge heard their words, he almost immediately determined that Duan Hengye probably didn't rest for a while. He didn't even wake up at five o 'clock, he didn't sleep at all.
To be able to enter the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute, everyone here must be hardworking. Of course, as the deputy director, he was no exception. It was just that … Su Mingge had worked for so many years, but this was the first time he saw someone like Duan Hengye who completely forgot to rest when he was busy.
After hearing the staff member's words, Su Mingge's face became a little ugly. This time, he didn't continue to chat with everyone. Instead, he nodded slightly and walked towards Duan Hengye's office. After seeing Su Mingge's expression, the staff members didn't dare to speak anymore. Although it was still early before the official working hours, everyone quietly sat back in their seats and acted as if nothing had happened.
During the time they worked together, Su Mingge had been to Duan Hengye's office countless times. Especially recently, because he had been keeping an eye on the progress of the work in the institute, Su Mingge had to go to Duan Hengye's office almost every day. After standing at the light screen by the door, he very skillfully sent a request to Duan Hengye in the office. In just a few seconds, the light screen in front of him lit up green. Just like the staff member said, Duan Hengye was still working.
Su Mingge left the light screen and stood at the door of Duan Hengye's office. After a few seconds, the silver door slowly opened in front of him.
As the director of the institute, Duan Hengye's office was very large. However, the moment the door opened, Su Mingge smelled a strong coffee smell. Although Duan Hengye liked to drink tea, he didn't know much about coffee. However, the quality of the coffee he drank daily was not bad. The smell alone was mellow enough.
But now, the coffee smell in Duan Hengye's office was a bit too strong. As a person who liked to drink coffee, Su Mingge couldn't help but frown after smelling the smell.
"Tsk …" Su Mingge muttered softly as he walked inside, "The coffee smell is so strong."
Because Duan Hengye had been staying in the room, he couldn't smell the smell himself. Therefore, when he heard Su Mingge's words, he was a few beats slower to react. Hearing this, Duan Hengye finally moved his attention away from the light screen. Then, he suddenly looked at Su Mingge and said, "Sorry." Then, he opened his office window.
In an instant, a cold wind unique to the early morning poured in from the window. Even Su Mingge, who hadn't changed out of his coat, couldn't help but shiver from the wind. Seeing this, Su Mingge looked at Duan Hengye, who was only wearing a thin sweater, and asked him doubtfully, "Aren't you cold?"
Duan Hangye sniffled. Although he said "I'm fine", he still got up and took a beige coat from the side and put it on. Duan Hangye didn't know that his complexion wasn't good to begin with, and with the white coat on his body, he looked like a wandering soul.
"What's wrong?" After getting up and putting on the coat, Duan Hengye realized that this time, Su Mingge didn't come in with the optical computer like before.
At this time, Su Mingge was already standing in front of Duan Hengye. In his eyes, the man in front of him was in a terrible state. Duan Hengye's face was paler than usual. Even his lips were almost bloodless. Probably due to lack of sleep, the dark circles under Duan Hengye's eyes were expanding day by day. Because of his excellent bone structure, this didn't affect Duan Hengye's appearance. However, this terrible state still couldn't be ignored.
Duan Hengye saw Su Mingge sitting in front of him with a serious face. He frowned and said, "Did you rest yesterday?"
Although Duan Hengye and Su Mingge didn't get along well for a period of time, Su Mingge didn't directly call Duan Hengye "you".
So for some reason, facing Su Mingge like this, Duan Hengye felt very much like a primary school student who did something wrong. Even though Duan Hengye didn't think he did anything wrong.
"I rested for a while," Duan Hengye knew that if he lied, he would be seen through, so he said it in an extremely tactful way.
As expected … Su Mingge could imagine that Duan Hengye's schedule was extremely chaotic recently. He probably took a nap because he was too sleepy. Duan Hengye saw Su Mingge shaking his head after hearing what he said, then sighed and said, "You're not in the right state now. You really need to rest."
Duan Hengye didn't expect Su Mingge to come to him this time because of this. After hearing what the other party said, Duan Hengye was stunned for a moment. He then shook his head and said, "It's okay. Don't worry, I'll be done soon. I'll continue to keep an eye on the research institute."
"…"
Now, Duan Hengye wasn't the only one who felt like he was being taught a lesson by an elder. Even Su Mingge herself suddenly felt that the Duan Hangye in front of her was really like a child who was avoiding the topic.
Although Duan Hengye was Su Mingge's superior, in terms of age, Su Mingge was actually older than Duan Hengye. After seeing Duan Hengye's reaction, Su Mingge rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "The main point isn't about the research institute, it's about your recent state …"
Speaking of this, Su Mingge suddenly remembered how Duan Hengye fainted in front of him. It had to be said that the last time Duan Hengye fainted, it really left an extremely strong shadow in Su Mingge's heart … It was estimated that it wouldn't go away for a long time in the future.
As a person who was often described as having a "poisonous tongue", Su Mingge wasn't a person who would patiently persuade others. So after seeing Duan Hengye's obviously uncooperative appearance, he subconsciously forgot his initial mentality of "having a good talk with Duan Hengye".
"What if you faint at the research institute again?" Su Mingge asked directly, "If something happens, Nan Zhuxing will hold us responsible."
"It won't …" Duan Hengye was already a little sleep-deprived. Now that he heard Su Mingge's words, he had a headache. Duan Hengye once again picked up the cold coffee on the table and took a sip. Then he said to Su Mingge, "I know what I'm doing."
After working together for such a long time, Duan Hengye and Su Mingge were already very familiar with each other. After hearing Duan Hengye's words and seeing him directly pick up the iced coffee to drink, Su Mingge directly said to Duan Hengye without mercy, "You didn't."
Duan Hengye often saw Su Mingge scold the staff like this. Although his facial paralysis attribute allowed him to maintain a calm appearance in such a situation. But in fact … Duan Hengye was also a little afraid of this kind of person.
This time, the person being "educated" was not another staff member, but himself. Duan Hengye suddenly felt an unprecedented amount of pressure. Therefore … Professor Duan finally stopped arguing. He sighed and said to Su Mingge, "I have an important project recently, so I've been quite busy. But now that the most difficult problem has been solved, I'll go rest later. "
When Su Mingge heard Duan Hengye's words, he knew that he could not say anything else. He looked deeply at Duan Hengye, then he stood up from his seat and said, "Okay, just remember to rest."
When Duan Hengye saw Su Mingge stand up, he could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. He also stood up from his seat and walked Su Mingge to the door of his office. When the silver-white door closed again, Duan Hengye let out a long sigh of relief. He closed the door again and returned to his seat.
However, Duan Hengye would not have guessed that Su Mingge thought of someone after he left the door.
When Su Mingge entered the office, the staff in the surrounding office pretended to look at their optical computers seriously. In fact, everyone was paying attention to the movements of Duan Hengye and Su Mingge.
When Su Mingge entered the office, the door to Duan Hengye's office automatically closed. Because the soundproofing was very good, the staff members could not hear what was happening inside. However, when they saw Su Mingge's expression after he left the office … Why did he seem a little happy?
What was going on? The staff members' hearts were immediately ignited with the fire of gossip.
However, these people would probably never guess the source of Su Mingge's "happiness". After Su Mingge returned to his office, he did not immediately rush to work. Instead, he took out his optical computer and opened the communication panel.
Su Mingge sat in his chair with his legs crossed. His fingers slowly slid through a long list of contacts. Then, he stopped at a special name – Meng Jinhuai.
In any case, Su Mingge was also the vice president of the research institute. He was very good at weapons research. Su Mingge had a lot of contact with the military. Of course, he had Meng Jinhuai's contact information. Last time, when Duan Hengye fainted in his house because of the poison, it was Su Mingge who sent a message to Meng Jinhuai.
After Su Mingge clicked on the name, he thought for a bit and reached out his hand to type on the virtual keyboard. After a while, a message was sent from Su Mingge to Nan zhuxing.
When Su Mingge looked back at the words that were sent out, he suddenly felt … the joy of snitching on others.
A few minutes later, Su Mingge's optical computer received a reply.
"Meng Jinhuai:
Okay, thank you for your concern for A Heng. I'll come as soon as possible. "
… Wait a minute, Meng Jinhuai said "come as soon as possible"? … Is everyone in this family so capable of taking action? When Su Mingge saw this message, he was stunned.
