Chapter 134: The Right Person Does Unlucky Things
It's not easy to find the experimental records in a 16-story high-rise building. When Zhuo Wenjun sent dozens of people to clean up, they couldn't find it. How could Wu Tian do it alone? Unless he has X-ray vision and can see everything inside the building with just one glance, but that's just a wild imagination.
It's actually very easy to hide something inconspicuous in such a large space and not be found. Because there are too many places to hide things in the entire building. Not to mention common places like tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and safes, but also more hidden places like interlayers, partitions, under the floor, inside pipes, and wall cracks - these are all good places to hide things. Moreover, as for the experimental records in the Tianzheng Building, so far it's just a guess, and it's not certain whether it's really like Liu Min said. If the target is clear, Wu Tian wouldn't be making excuses to get out of it either - this is just too hard to find. However, there's no other way, the minority has to obey the majority, who let him be the chosen one?
Wu Tian started searching from the first floor of the Tianzheng Building, regardless of whether Zhuo Wenjun's people had searched the place before. As Liu Min said, only the right person at the right time in the right place can encounter the right thing. In other words, some things are placed there in plain sight, but if you're not the right person, you won't see them. Only those with fate can notice it, and that's what fate is!
Damn fate!
Wu Tian cursed in his heart more than once, even if the heavens were to bestow a great responsibility, it wouldn't be so bitter and exhausting for one's spirit and body! In order to find the experimental records, every inch of wall, every inch of floor, and every inch of ceiling, he didn't let any of them go. Since he had to search, he had to do it seriously and carefully, without missing a single spot, even if it was a mouse hole, he would crawl in to take a look... This is what Liu Min said.
From noon to afternoon, from afternoon to evening. The sun had set and the sky was dark, but Wu Tian still had nothing to show for it, and he had only searched the second floor so far. At this rate, it would take at least half a month to search the entire building, without rest or holidays.
At seven o'clock, Wu Tian went to the cafeteria for a meal. During this time, he also listened to everyone's discussion about the experimental records and of course, he didn't forget to complain. The result was the same as before, there were many guesses, but not many reliable ones. In the end, it was concluded that he, the destined person, had to continue searching!
Are people with good fortune so unlucky? Are people with good fortune destined to be bullied?
Awesome!
He searched for several days, from the first floor to the tenth floor, but still found nothing. Wu Tian gradually lost his patience. Although he could stay in the lab for ten or half a month, he usually didn't have that much patience with other things. Wu Tian could only maintain sufficient patience in two things: one was experimentation and the other was chasing girls...
Perhaps it was disappointment that exceeded expectation, Wu Tian gradually shifted his work focus to the experiment. He changed from searching for experimental records all day to setting aside three or four hours a day to search, and spent the rest of the time on the A project's experiment. He still felt that doing something practical was more reliable. Since they were destined to meet, maybe the experiment would also succeed by coincidence in the hospital?
Although a rigorous attitude is required for scientific research, and the idea of relying on luck is taboo, it must be admitted that luck can be very important at times.
The progress of Project A is extremely slow, although it has now become an independent research lab with no restrictions on funding or resources. However, doing scientific research is like this - it's a long and arduous process. Spending one or two years on it doesn't count for much, and even spending five to ten years is considered normal. Especially when entering an unfamiliar field, there is no experience, guidance, or reference to rely on, so we can only grope around bit by bit.
It's been half a month since I left the hospital and saw Old Man Zhou. Wu Tianzhen had already searched the entire Tianzheng Building, but the process was boring and the result was disappointing. He wore the title of "Lucky Person", but did the work of an unlucky person. As for the final result, Wu Tianzhen had expected it from the beginning. He thought that being a "Lucky Person" was just a scam. Old Man Zhou was actually just a fortune teller who only knew how to say nice things. First, he would say you're a Lucky Person, then say you'll rise to greatness. If you really do become great in the future, you'll thank him endlessly. But if you don't become great, and even if you die, he'll just say "You didn't work hard enough" and dismiss you. Or he might make up some nonsense like "On a certain year and day, you stepped on an ant and killed it, ruining your luck..."
In the morning, Wu Tian woke up after sleeping for two hours and gathered the members of the R&D team to discuss the progress of their research over the past period. This was Wu Tian's habit, every now and then, he would summarize the experiment and set goals for the next phase.
Just as it was about to end, a knock at the door sounded outside. Guan Xiaoyu went to open the door and it was Fang Hua. Since the laboratory is a restricted area, outsiders are not allowed to enter, so even if it's Fang Hua, he can only stand outside the door and cannot enter. Wu Tian simply said a few words to everyone and then dismissed them, walking out of the laboratory and closing the door behind him.
"What's the matter?" Wu Tian looked at Fang Hua and asked, "If you still want me to search the entire Tianzheng Building again, then you can go back." Wu Tian dared to guarantee that his current understanding of the Tianzheng Building far surpassed that of its original architect!
"What kind of person do you think I am? Did I come to find you just for this boring thing?" Fang Hua wrapped her arms around Wu Tian's neck, her eyes fluttering coquettishly, and she kissed his lips lightly, saying "Zhuo Wenjun is here, right outside the company gate."
"Zhuo Wenjun?" Wu Tian heard and slightly furrowed his brow, looking at Fang Hua and asked, "What did she come here for?"
"I don't know," said Fang Hua, "but she said it was to make amends."
"Apologize?" Wu Tian was stunned, thinking of the incident that happened in Donghua half a month ago, and suddenly understood what "apologize" meant. But his mood was clear, Zhuo Wenjun's trip was absolutely not just an apology. Apologize? It's probably to gather information, right? Wu Tian looked at Fang Hua and asked, "How about the things I told you to take care of a few days ago? Have you found out?"
"I've checked," said Fang Hua, "The Donghua side hasn't withdrawn anyone and is still continuing to investigate the X Plan, searching for the whereabouts of the experiment records. Hehe, it seems your plan wasn't successful, Zhuo Wenjun didn't fall for it."
"Hehe, this is within my expectation." Wu Tian heard and smiled, "If it were me, I wouldn't give up searching for the experiment records just because of her one sentence. Now that we haven't found it yet, we finally can't help but come over to probe the truth."
"Are you going?"
"Go, of course I'll go." Wu Tian adjusted his clothes and said, "I don't just want to go, but also make her completely give up."
"Want her to completely give up? Do you have a way?" Fang Hua asked curiously, and then a sly smile appeared on his face again, "You're not thinking of doing something bad, are you?"
"Hehe, she's gone to great lengths to come here with a thick face, I couldn't possibly let her leave empty-handed, could I?" Wu Tian said with a smile, "Come on, accompany me to see her. Who knows, maybe you two will become good sisters in the future!"
"Insatiable!" Fang Hua scolded Wu Tian, then suddenly burst out laughing "But I like it!"
Wu Tian and Fang Hua arrived at the gate, and Zhuo Wenjun was standing alone outside, quietly waiting. Today, Zhuo Wenjun was still wearing a white dress, with the same style as the few times he had seen before. It seemed that she had a special liking for this dress. It was not known whether she had been wearing this one all along or if it was the same one and she had sold many of them. Wu Tian guessed it was probably the latter, as many low-key people have this habit.
"I didn't know Miss Zhuo would honor me with her presence, I'm afraid I wasn't able to welcome you from afar, please forgive me." Wu Tian smiled as he looked at Zhuo Wenjun and said in a refined tone.
Seeing Wu Tian Zheng's eight trigrams, Fang Hua wanted to laugh, but she still held back. In front of Zhuo Wen Jun, she didn't dare to be the slightest bit lazy. Although on the surface it doesn't seem like anything, in her subconscious mind she had already regarded him as an opponent!
"Mr. Wenjun suddenly appeared without prior notice to Mr. Wu," said Zhuo Wenjun calmly, "Today, Wenjun came here to apologize for the rude treatment Mr. Wu received in Donghua a few days ago. For what happened that day, Wenjun expresses deep apologies to Mr. Wu Tian."
"I almost forgot, I didn't think Miss Zhuo still had this matter on her mind." Wu Tian said, in fact he really wanted to thank the underlings of Zhuo Wenjun, if it wasn't for them, the fire that Wu Tian had been holding back would not have been released so quickly. Of course, he couldn't say his true thoughts out loud, otherwise wouldn't he become a troublemaker? Wouldn't he be pouring dirty water on himself?
"How could something so important be forgotten?" said Zhuo Wenjun, glancing at the security guard beside her and pointing to the tightly closed security door. Seeing that the guard had no reaction, she picked up the basket in her hand and continued, "To show my apology, this is a pastry made by myself this morning, I hope Mr. Wu won't mind."
"Made by yourself?"
"Yes!"
"Miss Zhuo is really clever and capable, just one look and you can tell she's the kind of person who would make a good wife and mother." Wu Tian said with a smile, then without hesitation, he reached over the safety door and took the pocket from her. He brought his nose close to sniff it, then closed his eyes, savoring the smell, and said, "Mmm, smells great, must be delicious. Thank you Miss Zhuo." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Fang Hua on the side, excitedly saying, "See? It's made by Miss Zhuo herself, I'm so lucky!"
Fang Hua nodded slightly and smiled silently, actually holding back her laughter.
Zhuo Wenjun looked at Wu Tian, then at the safety door between them, her eyes fixed on it for a long time, as if there was a treasure on it. Wu Tian, however, seemed to have not noticed, and continued to chat with Fang Hua about how happy he was to be able to eat the pastries made by Miss Zhuo today.
"Mr. Wu, don't you want to invite Wen Jun in for a cup of tea?" Zhuo Wenjun couldn't help but ask, even though she had always been calm and composed, her heart was also somewhat angry, of course, more than that was a kind of curiosity.
She hasn't forgotten the purpose of coming here today!
Don't want me in? I'll go in anyway!
