"That Tao Le just now... did you think she was a little weird?"

Chen Youran frowned slightly and asked the woman in front of him.

The woman's name is Liu Muzhi, of medium build, pretty face, 6 years younger than him, a scientist in the Eternal Sleep Technology Department, and also his capable subordinate.

A while ago, the International Eternal Sleep Center IHC launched a routine summer internship enrollment plan, absorbing students from major universities around the world to support the center's various work, and also to further popularize the necessity of human low-temperature hibernation experiments to young people.

As the chief scientist, Chen Youran is also in charge of the main technical department of IHC-the Eternal Sleep Technology Department. The department was allocated 5 places, and today happened to be the last day of the interview. He attached great importance to this annual opportunity to deal with young people, so he interviewed with Liu Muzhi, the actual person in charge.

These days, they have interviewed 30 people who registered, and are now reviewing in Chen Youran's office.

For Tao Le, who appeared last, Chen Youran felt a little elusive, so he wanted to hear Liu Muzhi's opinion.

Women may understand women better...

Faced with her leader's question, Liu Muzhi was stunned: "I think she is pretty good, the girl is very smart, and she must be the one we should keep among the 30."

"She does know a lot, her reaction ability, communication ability, and expression ability are all first-class, but I always feel a little split, she doesn't look young, not like a junior student, but why do I always feel that she is as old as me?"

Liu Muzhi smiled with her mouth covered: "Teacher Chen, you are not old, do you know that your half-white and half-gray hair is very intellectual, you can tell at a glance that you are a knowledgeable person, many young brats in finance, not too old, dyed like this, look very wise... Besides, what's strange about being mature at a young age? After all, she is also a junior student in the Department of Bioengineering at Guanghua University. Not only is the school good, but the major is also suitable, but her face is a little immature, it seems Younger. You always picked on the 29 before, and now you finally got a perfect one, and you think she’s weird...”

“No, how can a little girl know everything about the Spark Project, the global warming curve model, the collection of cyberbullying incidents caused by AI, and the civil unrest in Equatorial Guinea due to drought and water shortage a while ago?”

“Oh, what era is it now? Teacher Chen still looks at us women with tinted glasses? She is a top student from a prestigious university, so she can’t worry about the world? If she didn’t care about these, why would she come to our place for internship? Why not find a more interesting place, such as Lingjinghui? Besides, young people nowadays get information much faster than us. I don’t know many of the latest AI applications, but they are very good at it!”

Liu Muzhi spoke very quickly, and Chen Youran was breathless. He couldn’t resist. "Okay, then you decide. You'll be the one who will lead her in the end anyway."

"Among the five interns, I can choose not to lead others, but I will definitely lead her. She's studying biology, and she's very much like me!"

"You guys are all in my department, but you're always arguing with each other. What's the point?"

"Of course it's interesting. Although our goals are the same, our paths are different. The dispute over routes has always been a key debate. How can we easily compromise? But you, an old man, never express your views. As a leader, you play a balancing game..."

Chen Youran smiled bitterly: "Are you calling me an old man again now?"

"Of course, young people have clear likes and dislikes. Your views are too vague."

Liu Muzhi was relentless.

"I am keeping an open mind and supporting letting a hundred flowers bloom, understand? You support the bioengineering route, Xiong Min supports the medical science route, and Ma Aoyun... Forget about Ma Aoyun, I will definitely not support him."

Liu Muzhi recovered from her pretended anger and said with a smile: "Old Ma is not from our department. He was born in the year of the Beijing Olympics. Several major events happened in the country that year, which was indeed a bit mysterious, so it is normal for him to support metaphysics."

"Okay, okay, just go through the process, I have no objection."

Liu Muzhi bowed proudly to Chen Youran, and then left with satisfaction.

She came to the waiting room at the end of the corridor where Chen Youran's office was located, ready to go in and continue chatting with Tao Le and the previous candidates, and

inform them of her decision. She pushed the door open, but found that the other boys were there, but Tao Le was not there.

Liu Muzhi was stunned and asked, "Tao Le... Where is the girl in the red skirt just now?"

"Oh... She seems to disdain to be with us and ran to the meeting room next to her." A boy answered sarcastically.

Liu Muzhi immediately turned around and rushed to the door of the meeting room next to her. He pushed the door open and, as expected, a red figure was sitting quietly inside.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

There was no one in the empty meeting room.

Liu Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The area where Chen Youran's office is located belongs to the core technology area of IHC. The meeting room often holds relatively small-scale secret meetings to discuss immature hibernation technology, which is not suitable for the public to know. Therefore, these meeting rooms have no windows and only one door for entry and exit.

Fortunately, there was no meeting in progress.

She was about to go up to say hello, but saw Tao Le leaning on the chair with a lonely face, not saying a word. He seemed to have no reaction to her intrusion, and was completely different from the lively person during the interview just now. Since there was no meeting, the lights in the conference room were not all turned on. Instead, they sensed someone coming in and lit up a small area of light in the ceiling area above.

Under the dim light, Tao Le's face looked a little pale, like pear blossoms on a cloudy day, which made me feel pity.

Although they were both women, Liu Muzhi had to sigh in her heart: This girl is so beautiful, as quiet as a virgin and as fast as a rabbit.

She took the initiative to ask: "Tao Le, are you okay? Why did you come here?"

Tao Le then raised his head and looked at Liu Muzhi innocently with his beautiful big eyes.

"Sorry, Teacher Liu, they just said something rude to me, I couldn't stand it, so I came here to have some peace and quiet. Fortunately, this is an empty room, otherwise, I would disturb your work."

"What? These little hooligans!" Liu Muzhi frowned and was about to turn around to find those boys.

"No need, Teacher Liu!" Tao Le stood up to stop them: "It's not easy for them either. They came all the way here for the internship opportunity."

Liu Muzhi thought for a moment and said: "That's right, just eliminate the four of them. Only Tao Le will be left this afternoon, and the remaining four will be selected from the students this morning and the previous two days."

So, she closed the door, walked up to Tao Le, patted her shoulder gently, and motioned her to sit down.

"Tao Le, I'm looking for you because I want to tell you that after discussing with me, Teacher Chen thinks you are a suitable candidate for internship, and the other four are not qualified. If I say this in front of them, it would be a bit hurtful, but since you happened to be here, it's a good opportunity to notify you alone."

Hearing this, Tao Le's eyes immediately lit up, and the whole person regained youthful vitality, as if a wilted flower was bathed in sweet rain again.

Liu Muzhi couldn't help but widen her eyes.

This girl is so interesting!

"Thank you! Thank you, Teacher Liu! I will definitely cherish this opportunity!"

Tao Le jumped up excitedly, her red skirt spread in the air, and she hurriedly covered the skirt with both hands.

Liu Muzhi was amused and said with a smile: "Okay, Tao Le, you can go back. You can come to report at any time in the next few days."

"Can I report today?"

"Ah?"

"Because... I don't want to buy a return ticket, the subway is too slow, and taking a taxi is more expensive..." Tao Le stuck out her tongue.

"Then... where do you live?"

"Your capsule."

Liu Muzhi was stunned, and suddenly became alert, and asked: "What are you talking about? What capsule?"

"It's a sleeping cabin that people can live in. I remember Teacher Chen talked about it with you during the interview just now."

Liu Muzhi suddenly realized.

Indeed, during the interview just now, a phone call came in the middle, and she mentioned capsules to Chen Youran.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then you can take advantage of our center, but I have to make it clear that first, the capsules are not free; second, there may not be any available now, if not, you still have to go. Also, as a woman, I want to remind you that you didn't bring your clothes and toiletries." "Great! This way, I don't have to rent a house or stay in a hotel nearby, or drive home every day during my internship! As for clothes and toiletries... I can buy them online and send them to me!" Tao Le blinked. "......"

Liu Muzhi thought for a moment, stood up, and said: "Then you sit here for a while, I'll ask someone to handle your formalities, by the way, please close the door."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu!"

"By the way..." Liu Muzhi thought of something else: "You can return the VR glasses in your hand to me first. These are only VR glasses for visitors. After the internship, we will have new VR glasses for you. They will be sent to you after the formalities are completed. Remember, before that, don't go out, let alone run around."

"Ah?" Tao Le's face flashed a trace of nervousness: "Why?"

Seemed a little scared.

Liu Muzhi comforted: "Don't worry, it is actually a security measure. Without it, you will be unable to move when you are interning here. This is designed specifically for us by our brother unit, the United Intelligent Laboratory, or UIL."

Hearing the three letters UIL, Tao Le was thoughtful.
