Chapter 21 Teacher! Love can disappear, right?
"That's it for now!" Su Chen hung up the phone.
Just then, Zhao Dairou's voice rang out beside him!
"Junior! Who were you talking to just now?"
Su Chen looked at her calmly: "Senior, prying into other people's privacy isn't a good habit, you know!"
Zhao Dairou's eyes widened!
She was very surprised that Su Chen dared to provoke her!
Su Chen, worrying that Zhao Dairou might lose her temper and knowing he was no match for her, added:
"Um... you probably recognized the voice, right!"
"Chief Liu! Commander Liu Chengzhi!"
Hearing this, Zhao Dairou's expression changed abruptly!
It really was Chief Liu!
Just now, she had only thought the voice on the other end sounded a bit like Commander Liu Chengzhi, but it was too quiet. Now that Su Chen had confirmed it, she couldn't help but look him up and down!
She became increasingly curious about Su Chen's identity!
"Alright, Senior, I need to leave and head to the Laboratory now!" Su Chen was eager to test the many technologies he had just acquired.
The system had only given him six months, and he planned to manufacture all the technologies for the Space Mecha within that time!
The burden was heavy and the road was long!
So, he had to seize the time!
Currently, he didn't know how far the US had progressed in their research on the Space Mecha.
He had to build the Space Mecha before the US's Space Mecha was unveiled!
"I'm coming too!"
"Wait for me a moment!"
Zhao Dairou's mission was to provide close protection for Su Chen. Seeing him about to leave, she hurriedly returned to her room to change into some light, casual clothes!
She had always worn her military uniform in the army, which added a heroic, martial air to her!
As she took off the uniform and put on casual attire!
Zhao Dairou was the very embodiment of vitality!
Her originally fair skin had turned a healthy wheat color due to training, yet it remained delicate!
Her features were exquisite, and her gem-like eyes were hidden behind sunglasses, which not only shielded her from the sun but also allowed her to observe suspicious individuals at will, spotting potential threats immediately without alerting them.
This was to protect Su Chen's safety.
Su Chen looked Zhao Dairou up and down and gave a helpless smile:
"Chief Liu sending you to be my bodyguard might not be a good idea, right?"
Zhao Dairou was stunned: "Why do you say that?"
Su Chen chuckled: "Need you ask? With you around, Senior, any place becomes the center of attention!"
"Even I end up in the spotlight!"
"However, luckily I have this!"
Su Chen picked up a briefcase and handed it to Zhao Dairou!
"Hold onto this, and we'll both be safe!"
Zhao Dairou was stunned, curiously examining the case!
"What is this?"
Su Chen: "Your current clearance level isn't high enough to know!"
Zhao Dairou smiled calmly: "Didn't Chief Liu tell you?"
"Before executing the mission to protect you, I signed a confidentiality agreement!"
"I have the right to know any information regarding this operation!"
Su Chen was somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect you to be so trusted by the organization, Senior!"
Zhao Dairou raised her delicate chin: "Now can you tell me what this case is?"
Su Chen: "I could tell you, but I... don't want to!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked straight outside!
Zhao Dairou was so angry at his words that she stomped her foot!
As a proud daughter of heaven, Zhao Dairou rarely suffered a setback!
Especially not from a boy!
Su Chen was definitely the first!
Seeing that Su Chen was already more than five meters away from her!
She quickly snapped out of it and chased after him!
...
The Comprehensive Laboratory.
Just as they arrived downstairs, Su Chen saw a scene of great activity.
Professor Ma Zhiqiang was drenched in sweat!
He and his doctoral students were moving various pieces of equipment from the Comprehensive Laboratory into the new Laboratory.
Some of these devices were small and exquisite, containing complex scientific principles!
Others were large and heavy, requiring specialized handling tools to move.
Professor Ma Zhiqiang operated with great care, ensuring that every piece of equipment could be safely transferred to the new location.
Su Chen and Zhao Dairou walked over!
Soon, the two of them attracted everyone's attention!
Especially the seniors who were already doctoral students!
Their gazes automatically skipped over Su Chen and landed on Zhao Dairou!
"Zhao Dairou?! Is that Junior Zhao Dairou?"
"That's right, it's her! Even though she's wearing sunglasses, I can still recognize her!"
"Who is that person beside her?"
"Looks like a junior from the undergraduate class! Why is he with Zhao Dairou?"
"It couldn't be that our junior is pursuing Junior Dairou, could it!"
"No way... he's pursuing Junior Dairou? What makes him think he can? I haven't even pursued her yet!"
"Alright, alright! You bunch of old fogies, stop pining after Junior Dairou! I think that junior is pretty good; at least he's better looking than all of you!"
"Exactly, keep moving the equipment, or watch out for the Professor scolding you! Seriously, I don't know why they had to move the equipment to the Fuxing Building for no good reason. Does that mean we'll have to go to the Fuxing Building for experiments from now on?"
"Xiao Su! You're here!"
"Oh my, isn't this classmate Zhao Dairou? What brings you back to your alma mater!"
Professor Ma Zhiqiang saw Su Chen and also noticed Zhao Dairou, the former outstanding graduate!
Zhao Dairou greeted Professor Ma Zhiqiang with a smile: "Hello, Professor! I'll be staying at the school for a while. I can't disclose the specific reason!"
"But what about you, moving all this equipment in such hot weather?"
Professor Ma Zhiqiang looked at Su Chen: "This is all being prepared for Xiao Su!"
For Su Chen????!!!
Professor Ma Zhiqiang's words left not only Zhao Dairou bewildered!
Even those seniors were dumbfounded!
For a moment, they were completely confused!
"Xiao Su, you're here. I was just about to tell you something!"
"The school notified us that the arrival of some new equipment might be delayed. For now, just make do with this old equipment!"
"We can't let the equipment affect the upcoming research work!" Professor Ma Zhiqiang said.
Su Chen suddenly paused: "So you mean the new Laboratory is already ready for use?"
Professor Ma Zhiqiang nodded: "That's right!"
"This happens to be the last batch of equipment!"
"I'll take you to see the new Laboratory in a bit!"
The Fuxing Building!
This was an experimental building several times larger than the Comprehensive Laboratory!
At this moment, it was already filled with all kinds of advanced equipment!
The scale was no less than that of a medium-sized factory!
It was originally intended to be a Naval Armament Research Institute!
To research key components!
Naturally, it required a large research institute!
But later, for some unknown reason, it didn't come to fruition and was left vacant!
Now it was just right for Su Chen!
Professor Ma Zhiqiang led Su Chen and the others inside for a tour!
They were immediately shocked by the complete set of equipment and the massive floor area inside!
Some seniors' eyes were glowing as they looked!
"With this equipment, forget one graduation thesis, I'd have the confidence to write ten!"
"This is simply a researcher's paradise! I'd be willing to live here for the rest of my life!"
"Professor, since our equipment has been moved here, does that mean we'll be coming here to do experiments from now on? I love it here!"
All the seniors looked at Professor Ma!
Even Zhao Dairou felt excited for them!
Although she didn't pursue further studies after graduation, her major was also related to experiments!
She even understood how much help this equipment would be for experiments!
It would be easy to write a high-quality thesis!
However, the next second.
The expressions on their faces changed abruptly!
They saw Professor Ma Zhiqiang take a key card out of his pocket and hand it to Su Chen!
At the same time, he said to the group of students:
"It's useless telling me all this!"
"You have to talk to Su Chen!"
Zhao Dairou asked on behalf of the seniors: "Why?"
Professor Ma Zhiqiang: "Because this entire experimental building was prepared for Su Chen!"
In other words!
"He is the owner of this experimental building!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze shifted to Su Chen!
The shock in their eyes was about to overflow!
"Professor, are you joking?"
"Such a huge experimental building, all prepared for this junior?"
"Then what are we supposed to do if our Laboratory has no equipment?"
Professor Ma Zhiqiang: "It's fine, when the new equipment arrives, just move our old equipment back!"
He'd rather move the old stuff back for us to use than let us use the new stuff!
The seniors were about to cry!
"Teacher, so love really does disappear, right?"
