Chapter 845: Gossiping with His Life!
Can a strong and silent type be called uncommunicative? That’s just being cool and aloof!
Leng Jian spent just an afternoon winning over most of the lab.
No one asked if he was cold anymore; they just assumed he was.
On the other hand, Lei Yunjia, a person who’s always at the forefront of gossip, got to know Leng Jian a little better and sneakily sidled up to him to dig into details about Doctor CC.
Lei Yunjia wasn’t trying to poach Doctor CC. The lab wasn’t his, and if he wanted to recruit someone, he’d have to get Qin Nanyu’s approval. He was just curious about the rumors regarding the relationship between Doctor CC and Leng Jian.
"You’re Doctor CC’s go-to computer expert, you must be very familiar with Doctor CC, right? Have you met them in person?"
"What kind of person is Doctor CC, are they easygoing?"
"Are they good-looking?"
"How old are they this year?"
"Are they married?"
Five consecutive gossip questions.
Afraid that Leng Jian might get upset, Lei Yunjia cleverly left himself an out, adding, "If you think it’s inconvenient to say, you can just ignore me."
He’s practically the little prince of the gossip realm, risking it all for the sake of gossip!
Leng Jian’s hand, moving the mouse, paused slightly, casting a sideways glance at Lei Yunjia, a subtle flicker of fiery light in his eyes.
Ji Weitian, on the side, immediately sensed danger.
As outside speculation suggested, for years, Leng Jian had been responsible for her safety. Anyone trying to pry about Doctor CC in front of him would instantly trigger his sensitive nerves, making him see the other person as an imaginary enemy.
Lei Yunjia, this naïve fellow, still had no idea he was dangerously testing the limits.
Seeing Leng Jian not moving, he urgently reminded, "Why aren’t you continuing to test the program? I don’t care, you’ve helped so many people, you can’t play favorites, I’ve been stuck at this program point for a long time, I can’t solve it..."
"How long have you been stuck?" Leng Jian suddenly parted his lips, interrupting slowly.
Lei Yunjia scratched his head, "Almost a week, the program keeps failing, but I can’t figure out where the problem is."
"Hmm." Leng Jian responded calmly, then moved the mouse to close the program in front of him.
In Lei Yunjia’s astonished gaze, he slowly unplugged the USB drive Lei had brought, handed it back to him, and said, "I can’t figure it out either, you take it back and keep researching."
Lei Yunjia: "..."
Lei Yunjia walked away devastated.
More than failing to get information on Doctor CC, the fact that Leng Jian was stumped by a simple program was even harder for him to accept.
This was the only problem Leng Jian hadn’t solved that afternoon.
Could it really be that the problem with his program design was so big that even an expert like Leng Jian couldn’t solve it?
"Lei Yunjia is just a kid, you know he didn’t mean any harm, why did you take him seriously?" Ji Weitian sat down in the chair next to Leng Jian as soon as Lei Yunjia’s figure disappeared, whispering in a lowered voice.
Lei Yunjia returned to his spot looking lost and pitiful, really as pathetic as could be.
He seemed on the verge of questioning his very existence.
How did she never realize Leng Jian had this kind of mischievous fun in messing with people before?
"You want to recruit him into your team?" Leng Jian didn’t answer but countered with a question.
Ji Weitian: "..."
"The programs he writes, many of the algorithms he uses, bear your mark; I can see it at a glance." Leng Jian remarked.
"That’s not true, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!" Ji Weitian hurriedly denied it. She indeed had such thoughts before, but that was when she wasn’t familiar with Qin Nanyu.
If Qin Nanyu found out now that she once wanted to poach him, she might as well kiss her waist goodbye.
