5: Do you think he can do it?
Wang Guang was stunned, staring blankly at Wang Xin Xin, his entire being shocked as if struck by lightning. He asked, "Xin Xin, what did you say? This great… uh, what did this person say? That he wants to bring back the artifacts from the Little Eagle Sauce Museum??"
"Yeah, isn't it ridiculous?" Wang Xin Xin took a sip of soy milk and couldn't help but laugh.
"Xin Xin!" Wang Guang suddenly became serious. "You haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"
"No, why?" Wang Xin Xin looked at Wang Guang in confusion.
"Nothing, just make sure you don't tell anyone else about this." Wang Guang earnestly instructed.
"I'm not that idle." Wang Xin Xin pouted. "Also, big brother, are you out of your mind? You don't actually think this guy can really do it, do you?"
"Just listen to me, understand?" Wang Guang's expression was stern.
"Why are you so serious about a joke like this?" Wang Xin Xin was puzzled.
Wang Guang didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Has your leader talked to you?"
"Talk? Talk about what? Why would my leader talk to me? I haven't made any mistakes." Wang Xin Xin was even more bewildered. She reached out and touched Wang Guang's forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why do you seem a bit off?"
"No talk? That shouldn't be." Wang Guang muttered.
That mysterious big shot really got the photolithography machine manufacturing book. Since Wang Xin Xin answered the first call, it was strange that the higher-ups hadn't talked to her or had her sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Because according to normal procedure, anyone who knew about this matter would be monitored immediately.
Just like all those in the Great Science Academy who were aware, including himself, once the manufacturing book was confirmed to be authentic, the higher-ups sent people overnight to have them sign several related agreements.
But Wang Xin Xin hadn't, which didn't follow protocol.
However, Wang Guang quickly stopped thinking about it.
Because getting the photolithography machine manufacturing manual from Netherlands sounded too outrageous; no normal person would believe it.
Besides those in the Great Science Academy who had to know, the fewer people who knew that the big shot really brought back the manual, the better.
Furthermore, Netherlands would certainly not voluntarily expose the theft of the photolithography machine manufacturing book.
This would mean their anti-theft system had a huge problem, and if revealed, partners would certainly not feel comfortable continuing to cooperate with them, which would cause great losses to Netherlands.
Perhaps it was for these reasons that the higher-ups didn't have Wang Xin Xin sign a non-disclosure agreement immediately.
But if the big shot really managed to bring back the artifacts from the Little Eagle Sauce Museum this time, then the higher-ups should talk to Wang Xin Xin.
If the artifacts from the Little Eagle Sauce Museum were gone, it would definitely be impossible to hide.
Thinking of this, Wang Guang instructed Wang Xin Xin, "Stay in your dorm for the next few days, don't run around. I have to go back to the academy now, bye bye."
With that, he didn't wait for Wang Xin Xin to reply and scurried away.
"How inexplicable!"
Wang Xin Xin watched Wang Guang's retreating back and muttered, then didn't think much more about it. She yawned and went back to her dorm to sleep.
And indeed, it was as Wang Guang had thought.
Getting the photolithography machine manual from Netherlands was too incredible.
So Ye Guhong hadn't specifically arranged for Wang Xin Xin to be talked to.
This wasn't because he was not rigorous.
On the contrary, it was indeed better for as few people as possible to know about such a bizarre, even outrageous, matter.
Anyway, Netherlands wouldn't actively disclose the theft of the photolithography machine manufacturing book. Before the matter was exposed in the future, any normal person hearing about it would just treat it as a joke and laugh it off.
This matter could temporarily be kept under wraps within the Great Science Academy.
As for Wang Xin Xin, she was always within monitoring range anyway, and it wouldn't be too late to talk to her if anything unexpected happened.
In addition, although it was incredible to obtain the photolithography machine manufacturing manual from Netherlands, this was very likely an accidental occurrence, so there was no need to make a big fuss and have a relatively unrelated person sign a non-disclosure agreement, so as not to be counterproductive.
It was just that Ye Guhong hadn't expected Wang Xin Xin to receive two consecutive calls from the other party, so the non-disclosure agreement for Wang Xin Xin was actually already being prepared.
Now, it remained to be seen if Lin Yang could truly bring the artifacts from the Little Eagle Sauce Museum back home, as he claimed.
On the other side, Wang Guang returned to the Great Science Academy and opened his email page, typing a line of text, but quickly deleting it, repeating this several times.
His restless demeanor caught the attention of an Academician nearby, who couldn't help but ask, "Wang Guang, what's wrong with you, young man? Why are you so fidgety? Are you feeling unwell?"
These words immediately drew the attention of several other Academicians.
Zhao Zizhen also walked in at this moment and looked at Wang Guang upon hearing the question.
Wang Guang originally wanted to make up an excuse, but seeing his teacher also present, he knew his lie couldn't fool Zhao Zizhen, so he slowly said, "I'm fine, teacher, I have something I want to tell you."
He directed the latter half of the sentence at Zhao Zizhen.
Seeing this, the other Academicians didn't ask further.
Zhao Zizhen frowned slightly, glanced at Wang Guang, who seemed hesitant to speak, then turned and left the laboratory, saying, "Let's talk outside."
Wang Guang followed Zhao Zizhen out of the laboratory, then looked around like a thief.
This posture made Zhao Zizhen frown again: "Didn't you have something to say? Speak, what is it that makes you so cautious this early in the morning?"
Zhao Zizhen understood his student too well; unless it was something truly important, Wang Guang would never be like this.
After confirming that no one was approaching, Wang Guang opened his mouth and, in a very low voice, repeated to Zhao Zizhen what he had just heard from Wang Xin Xin about Lin Yang wanting to bring back the artifacts from the Little Eagle Sauce Museum.
"Hmm? What? What did you say? Did he really say that? That he wants to bring back the artifacts?" Zhao Zizhen was instantly alarmed.
"Shh, teacher, lower your voice!" Wang Guang instinctively wanted to cover Zhao Zizhen's mouth, but his hand stopped halfway and he pulled it back, looking awkwardly at Zhao Zizhen.
"Uh..."
Zhao Zizhen was stunned for a moment, then his old face flushed: "This is too shocking, I couldn't help myself."
"It's okay, teacher, my reaction was even bigger than yours when I heard it just now!" Wang Guang found an excuse for Zhao Zizhen.
"Cough cough, is what you said true? Did he really say that on the phone?" Zhao Zizhen couldn't help but confirm again, but this time his voice was very low.
Wang Guang nodded seriously: "Yes, teacher, that's why I was just thinking of sending an email to ask if the big shot could help us, the Great Science Academy, get more information, but then I felt it might be impolite, so I couldn't make up my mind, which is why I was a bit restless."
"You just believe he can do it?" Zhao Zizhen glared at Wang Guang.
Wang Guang took a deep breath, didn't answer, but instead asked, "What about you, teacher? Do you think he can do it?"
