Chapter 203: Multiple Calls

Seeing her, Ji Qingyue was somewhat surprised: "Miss Rong?"

Rong Ci nodded: "Hello."

Looking at her, Ji Qingyue smiled: "Is Miss Rong here at the base to work?"

Rong Ci shook her head: "No, my teacher asked me to come over to help handle some things."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyue paused.

There were only a few people at the base who had the authority to let non-staff personnel in—

Thinking of the fact that Rong Ci and Yu Moxun had a good relationship but weren't a couple, he quickly reacted: "Your teacher... is Mr. Nan Zhizhi?"

Rong Ci nodded: "Yes."

She was actually really a student of Nan Zhizhi, just like Yu Moxun.

He hadn't thought in this direction at all before.

However, since she was also Nan Zhizhi's student, some things that happened before could be explained.

For example, at the previous banquet, why Yu Moxun emphasized that she had made an indelible contribution to the latest project developed by Chang Mo; or for example, at his grandfather's art exhibition and the government-enterprise symposium Ren Jifeng attended before, why his father paid so much attention to her...

His father might have known she was Nan Zhizhi's student long ago.

However, if she were merely Nan Zhizhi's student, it wouldn't be enough for his father to pay so much attention to her. Perhaps—

Thinking of the two latest projects that caused a sensation at Chang Mo, he suddenly understood everything.

He looked at her, unable to speak for a long while.

Rong Ci looked quiet, not flamboyant, neither arrogant nor impatient. Just looking at her appearance, he couldn't tell at all that she was so young yet possessed such outstanding achievements.

After a while, they sat down in the cafeteria.

Ji Qingyue asked: "How long will you be staying at the base this time?"

"Not sure, it depends on my teacher's intentions," Rong Ci said, remembering that it seemed to have been two or three months since they last met, and said: "I rarely run into you when I'm outside. Is training usually very busy?"

Ji Qingyue said: "Mm, and pilots have fewer holidays."

Ji Qingyue's time for dining wasn't abundant. After chatting with Rong Ci for a while, he had other things to do, so he was the first to leave.

The next time he saw Rong Ci was two days later during a human-machine combat test.

The so-called human-machine combat was an air battle between a fighter jet controlled by AI and a fighter jet operated by a human pilot.

After the test ended and data was collected, Rong Ci and other researchers began to modify algorithms and conduct a new round of data analysis based on the battlefield situation.

And when Ji Qingyue entered the department where Rong Ci worked, what he saw was her and other researchers' busy figures.

He had been there for a while before Rong Ci finally saw him.

Rong Ci paused, nodded at him, and buried her head to continue working.

Rong Ci stayed at the base for nearly ten days before leaving.

She left at dawn and arrived home just in time for the morning.

Returning home, just as she opened her phone, she saw nearly twenty missed calls.

The people who called her included Gu Yan, He Zhangbai, Feng Jingxin, and even Feng Tingshen had called her twice.

Rong Ci could basically guess the purpose of Feng Jingxin and Feng Tingshen's calls without thinking.

Gu Yan was the first person to call her and the one who had called her the most times.

She returned Gu Yan's call first.

Gu Yan answered the phone quickly: "You're finally done?"

"Yes," Rong Ci said: "You called me, is there something? Is the matter resolved now?"

Gu Yan said: "There was a matter, but it's resolved."

Ten nights ago, he arrived at the theater but didn't see Rong Ci. He tried to contact her, but the call wouldn't go through. When he returned to the company on Monday, he didn't see her either, and he thought something had happened to her.

Later, he went to find Yu Moxun and learned that something had happened at home that required her to handle it.

Since she was fine, he was relieved.
