Chapter 221
"Later, I had no choice but to look for help. I first found a few colleagues in the team who were good at math, but they just shook their heads after seeing it. I was unwilling to give up, so I found my nephew's high school math teacher, looking forward to getting the answer, but I still couldn't solve the problem."
"This morning, our team leader came to ask me about my progress and asked me if I had the answer. I was in a dilemma at the time, and I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say that I was almost there, but in fact I had no idea in my mind, but I had already boasted in front of the team leader. If I went back and told him that I couldn't solve this problem, it would be too embarrassing and undignified.
I know that you have always been very good at math, physics and chemistry, and your grades are among the best in school, so when I went out, I took this problem with me. I wanted to try my luck and see if you could solve it, but now it seems..."
When Wasabi said this, he shook his head helplessly, his expression seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, and his face was full of frustration and loss.
Zhang Xing looked at Wasabi silently, his mind as clear as a mirror.
He knew very well that Wasabi was evasive about this question at the beginning and did not tell all the truth, not because there was any unspeakable secret in it, but mainly because of his self-esteem and fear of losing face in front of him.
Zhang Xing did not mind this matter, but just stared at Wasabi closely, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Are you talking about the captain of your second brigade, Lao Banjiu?"
Wasabi's face flashed a trace of surprise, and he nodded hurriedly, with doubts and confusion in his eyes:
"Yes, it's him, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xing's face flashed a trace of imperceptible hesitation, he hesitated slightly, then folded the white paper carrying the difficult question and put it in his pocket, and then said in a seemingly calm but turbulent tone:
"Nothing, but this question is difficult to answer. The characters are huge and the relationships are intricate, and the difficulty of calculation and logical reasoning is extraordinary. Even those mathematicians with profound attainments in the field of mathematics may find it difficult to quickly deduce the accurate answer in such a short time. Let me take this question back first. When I have free time, I will calm down and deduce it carefully. If I figure out the answer, I will tell you as soon as possible. "
Shanqi has always been known for his keen observation ability. In his communication with Zhang Xing just now, he clearly felt that there was something unusual hidden in Zhang Xing's words and deeds.
However, at this moment, Zhang Xing acted so lightly and calmly, which made Shanqi's heart ripple. He secretly wondered whether there was some unknown and secret hidden behind this seemingly ordinary question.
But Wasabi could also keenly sense that Zhang Xing was not going to reveal those possible secret connections to him at the moment, so despite being full of curiosity and doubts, Wasabi chose to respect Zhang Xing's decision and did not continue to ask questions. He just murmured to himself in a low voice:
"Okay, but if this question is too brain-consuming and energy-consuming, don't force yourself to do it. After all, you can't make yourself exhausted physically and mentally for a math problem."
Zhang Xing nodded slightly, his eyes always following Wasabi's moving figure, his eyes full of complex emotions, understanding, and a trace of unspeakable worry.
After watching Wasabi walk down the stairs, Zhang Xing suddenly remembered something important and asked again: "By the way, Director Song and Captain Jiang are not in the bureau now, so the entire action team should obey the command of your captain, Old Dove, right?" Wasabi shook his head helplessly, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, revealing a trace of helplessness and unwillingness, and slowly said: "It seems not, our captain has been so idle these days, the two groups of your team are responsible for closely monitoring the spy activities of the Matsushita Youth Association on the periphery, and the one who directs their actions is Sun Dong." " Our first team was completely excluded from the core of this operation. The personnel of the three groups were basically withdrawn. It is said that this was also arranged by Sun Dong. Our team leader was indignant about this and seemed to have a fierce quarrel with Sun Dong. However, after the quarrel, our team leader seemed to be discouraged and chose to lie down and muddle through. "
Shanqi took a deep breath and continued:
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have so much free time and indulge in those Sudoku games in the office every day. To be honest, although I have seen him occasionally play this kind of Sudoku game before,I have never seen him so obsessed as he is now. I think that his current obsession with Sudoku is more like an escape and compromise from the current helpless situation. He cannot change the situation, and can only temporarily dispel the unspeakable boredom and sorrow in his heart by indulging in Sudoku. "
"The situation of our captain and your captain Jiang Yu in the bureau is completely different. In terms of work experience and qualifications, our captain has been working in the bureau for many years and is much higher than your captain Jiang Yu.
But in terms of the degree of respect from superiors and the influence in the action team, our captain is far less proud than Jiang Yu. Perhaps it is precisely because of the huge gap in this regard that I always feel that our captain has become a different person in the past two years, a little self-destructive, and has lost his enthusiasm and fighting spirit for many things. ”
“This time, Director Song went to Kyoto to perform an important mission, and he took Jiang Yu with him, but left our captain aside. After Sun Dong took over some of the affairs of the bureau, he did not delegate any key matters to our captain. To be honest, as a subordinate, I feel wronged and unfair for our captain. It feels like he has been excluded to the edge of the leadership of the bureau and has become a neglected and neglected character. ”
“Probably because of this series of blows and setbacks, he has become more and more addicted to Sudoku games in recent days. In addition, the team really has no urgent and important tasks in the past two days, so he actually just shows up every day.
Usually he leaves work at noon. He loves to drink coffee. He doesn't go home after work at noon. Most of the time, he goes to a cafe on Nanshan Road, where he drinks fragrant coffee and does Sudoku puzzles. He often stays there for a whole afternoon. ”
