Chapter 2:
At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the conference room of the Whale City Deep Sea Research Institute was still brightly lit.
There is a heated discussion about who should take care of the mermaid.
As I said before, the entire research institute attaches great importance to the matter of the Little Mermaid, and now even the Chinese government is alarmed.
It even said that the mermaid should be protected at all costs.
Since the above attaches so much importance to it, the leaders of the research institute must also play a twelve-point spirit to deal with it. Therefore, the question of who to take care of the Little Mermaid has to be carefully considered.
Zheng, the elder of the research institute, is a middle-aged man who is in deep baldness. He has always believed in democracy and justice. Seeing that everyone has been discussing fiercely for a long time without any reason for discussion, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Well, let's vote by secret ballot. !"
Half an hour later, the results of the anonymous vote came out.
The highest number of votes is a total of two people.
One of them is Xu Qingshu.
The other is Zhou Suiyu, who was not present today.
Seeing the result of this vote, Xu Qingshu turned black on the spot.
Everyone knows that Xu Qingshu and Zhou Suiyu are deadly enemies.
Or to put it more precisely, Xu Qingshu has always looked at Zhou Suiyu unilaterally, which is very unpleasant, and Zhou Suiyu treats Xu Qingshu the same as he treats other people in the research institute - anyway, apart from the necessary communication, he can ignore it as thoroughly as possible on weekdays. How completely ignored.
Speaking of which, Zhou Suiyu is the most special existence of the Institute.
Mingming has not come to the institute for a long time, but once he came to the institute, it became very famous. Especially in the minds of the female colleagues of the institute, the reputation is excellent.
Not because of anything else, but simply because of Zhou Suiyu's romantic and handsome face.
And after getting acquainted with it, everyone in the institute found that Zhou Suiyu was not just handsome, he was also the youngest postdoctoral fellow in the institute. At the age of 16, he entered the undergraduate program, obtained a PhD at the age of 20, and entered the postdoctoral mobile station of Huaguo Ocean University at the age of 25. As soon as he graduated, he was hired as a researcher by the Whale City Institute of Biological Sciences. The face is just as good, no, it can even be said that the ability is better than that face.
There is a lot of gossip about Zhou Suiyu in the research institute. Some say that he has a quarter of foreign ancestry, so his nose is straighter than the average Chinese, and his eyebrows are more refined and stretched; He is true. There is a second generation of mine rich in the family. If you don't do good research, you will go back to inherit hundreds of millions of family properties...
Of course, none of the above is the real reason why Xu Qingshu hates Zhou Suiyu.
What really made Xu Qingshu hate Zhou Suiyu was his arrogant attitude.
He is obviously a newcomer, but he seems to be dragging 258,000 to 80,000. He does research every day except for research. He does not participate in all entertainment and social activities in the institute. Even if there is a secret ballot now, Zhou Suiyu's treatment is comparable to that of an old employee like Xu Qingshu who has been in the institute for two or three years. How can this make Xu Qingshu swallow that breath?
Zheng Suo saw the result of the vote, and was so entangled that he pulled out a few more strands of his already bald hair. In fact, he himself was inclined towards Zhou Suiyu and Xu Qingshu. He thought secret balloting would make a choice for him, but the current result...
In the silent and awkward atmosphere, Xu Qingshu took the initiative to stand up: "Since the candidate is between me and Zhou Suiyu, let me and Zhou Suiyu resolve it in private, what do you think of Zheng Suiyu?"
Zheng Suo naturally couldn't ask for it: "Then it's settled."
As soon as Zhou Suiyu came back from the sea, he heard that the institute had found a mermaid in the whale sea. I also heard that the institute intends to choose a person between him and Xu Qingshu to be responsible for the research of mermaids.
For other things, Zhou Suiyu actually didn't mind letting Xu Qingshu go.
But it's about research, and it's about the endangered species mermaid. Zhou Suiyu's statement that he's not interested must be a lie. So when Xu Qingshu came over to expressly hint that Zhou Suiyu should give up, Zhou Suiyu refused expressionlessly: "Fair competition!"
Xu Qingshu snorted lightly: "Okay, then tell me about the fair competition law!"
Zhou Suiyu thought for a while: "We will both go to Whale Island to live temporarily for a period of three months. Whoever makes progress in mermaid research first will be able to continue the research, and the other will automatically quit."
Of course, the researcher must speak with the results of the research. This is indeed a very fair competition method, so Xu Qingshu has nothing to say.
So it was settled.
Shen Anan was very annoyed for a few days after returning to the cave after accidentally hitting the researcher's submarine probe that day and exposing herself.
But then I calmed down and thought about it. The Little Mermaid in the original plot also seemed to be exposed. Although Shen Anan didn't quite remember the specific exposure method, the results were similar anyway.
It is precisely because the little mermaid exposed her identity that the male protagonist and his colleagues stayed on the nearby island for a while, and the little mermaid transformed into a human figure and went to the island on the moonlit night, and finally fell in love with the male protagonist at first sight. Dog blood plot.
As long as Shen Anan thinks of the scene in the original story of the little mermaid and the male protagonist, she can't help but secretly swear in her heart that even if the current plot is basically the same as the original, she must find ways to move the plot away. Crooked, in short, absolutely must not have any intersection with the original male protagonist Xu Qingshu.
In order to stay away from Xu Qingshu, Shen An'an even thought about leaving this sea area, but as soon as she proposed this idea, the old turtle started to cry, and even the non-mainstream teenage oarfish classmate looked like he was hesitant to say anything.
It is understandable for the old man to relocate and relocate, but what kind of fun is the oarfish, a young man who runs out of the house every day?
Shen An'an: "Why, are you reluctant to part with this sea area?"
The oarfish: "I recently made an appointment with a shark PK, and I agreed, no matter life or death, whoever runs away is the grandson..."
Buddhist girl Shen An'an: "..."
Are all fish so vicious now?
Since you can't run, you can only adapt accordingly.
A few days later, the institute sent people over and built a temporary residence on a nearby island, where basic living facilities and research facilities were readily available.
After that, Xu Qingshu and Zhou Suiyu were packed and sent by the research ship of the institute.
The conditions on the island were naturally not as good as those of the research institute, but Xu Qingshu and Zhou Suiyu accepted the reality calmly. Especially Xu Qingshu, after putting his luggage in the room, he took the submarine detector and recorder and drove the boat out to sea.
The result, of course, was nothing.
And this was the case for the next few days. If he hadn't seen the trace of the mermaid on the expedition ship that day from the camera lens of the probe, Xu Qingshu would have almost suspected that the mermaid was actually their imagination.
Compared with Xu Qingshu's urgency, his roommate Zhou Suiyu seemed to be nothing. He still had that beautiful coffin face every day, calmly doing experiments, writing reports, writing reports and experiments, and living a life following research. It's the same every time.
Well, it's not exactly the same, there are still differences. At least Zhou Suiyu ate in the cafeteria every day when he was in the research institute, but on this island, Zhou Suiyu would cook for himself.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Suiyu was stranded on this desolate island this time, Xu Qingshu really didn't know that Zhou Suiyu, with such a white face, could actually cook. Not only will it, but it's even done pretty well.
Now that they are on the island, the supplies are not as abundant as those outside the island. Although there will be someone from the scientific research ship who will come to give them supplies once a week or so, but there is no refrigerator on the island, so basically all the vegetables that can be put here are delivered. Such as potatoes, cabbage, radishes and so on. In the case of meat, usually there will be fresh meat for a day or two when the material ship is ashore, and vegetables are usually fried at other times.
But even under such conditions, Zhou Suiyu still lived a prosperous life. Three meals a day are on time. On good days, stir-fried Chinese cabbage with minced meat, stewed radish with pork ribs, shredded green peppers and potatoes on bad days, and stir-fried water spinach with garlic...
He even marinated the unfinished pork belly and hung it outside to expose it to the sun on the island to make bacon.
As a result, the instant noodles in Xu Qingshu's hands were no longer fragrant.
In fact, Zhou Suiyu had invited him to eat with him several times, but Xu Qingshu couldn't hold his face.
However, Xu Qingshu could bear it, but one person couldn't bear it.
- Zhou Suiyu changed tricks and made delicious food on the island every day, and the little mermaid next door was about to cry.
During this period of time, Shen An'an has basically accepted the fact that she is wearing a book inexplicably, and even she has gradually accepted the **** setting of dressing like a mermaid.
Again, as long as it comes, let it go. If life was doomed to kill her, the little mermaid, all she could do was lie down and try not to die too ugly.
But some things can be tolerated and seen, and some things cannot.
such as eating.
Although Shen An'an was an ordinary designer assistant before she wore books, she was not hungry when she fed her family alone, so she never felt wronged when she was eating.
Now it has become a mermaid. Although there are many species on the seabed, the saying of the oarfish is that "as long as you open your mouth, everything that can move is food", but Shen Anan is a Buddhist girl, she does not kill, She also doesn't like to eat raw food; secondly, it may be because the seabed does not see light all the year round, so many seabed creatures look like they are playing around. It barely survives on the plankton on the bottom of the sea.
If there is no food aroma on the island for comparison, plankton or something can barely be swallowed, but everything is afraid of comparison, so every meal time, Shen Anan involuntarily floats to the sea to eat in the clouds.
Finally one day, the smell of barbecue came from the island.
Shen An'an was really crying this time.
As soon as you cry, pearls fall all over the floor.
The old turtle and the oarfish were busy looking for pearls for her, and they comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, your tears are valuable, but you must not cry."
Shen An'an recalled the wonderful taste of freshly baked mutton skewers and beef skewers sprinkled with cumin and chili noodles, holding the pearls in his hands and asked, "You said I used pearls to exchange for some food on the island. Does it work?"
The author has something to say: There is no one who is the richest and the most miserable heroine in history.
