2010 They Have Not Left Yet, Let’s Eat Together Cao Yanhua was still sorting out the experimental data from the morning and had just entered the numbers. Hearing this, he asked without raising his head, “What newcomers?” He was surrounded by seven or eight members of the Level 8 laboratory. The person who spoke to him was probably in his early thirties. He was very magnanimous. He placed a used U-shaped tube on the shelf and turned to look at the distracted Cao Yanhua. He said in surprise, “Didn’t you bring four newcomers to our laboratory to take a look around this morning? Have you forgotten?” Shi Fu was not around and the members of the Level 8 laboratory were all busy. The Level 8 laboratory was almost filled with boys. There was only one girl. She was pretty and tall, and there was a cold scholarly aura around her. She had a good temperament. Her looks were not bad, either. Xie Xinyao was leaning against the experiment table and discussing the data changes of the previous experiment with a few others. Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. “They haven’t left yet?” These newcomers— They were quite stubborn! “Who are you talking about? Who hasn’t left?” Most of the people in the Level 8 laboratory focused on their experiments and rarely paid attention to anything else. Some people still didn’t understand the situation. They had completely forgotten that some people had come to visit their laboratory in the morning. At this moment, Cao Yanhua suddenly reacted. He thought of Qiao Nian and the others, who were still in the lounge. His chair scraped the floor as he quickly stood up. “Han Cheng, help me enter the data. I’ll go and see if they’ve left.” How could he have forgotten about this! Cao Yanhua got up in a hurry. It was obvious on his honest face. After calling the person who had reminded him to come over and take over his work, he hurriedly picked up his jacket and put it on. Then, he said to Xie Xinyao and the others, “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Let’s have a meal tonight to welcome the newcomers.” Xie Xinyao frowned and wanted to refuse. “Does anyone have any objections?” Cao Yanhua asked. Both of them said that it did not matter. He heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile. After patting the shoulder of the man who had taken over his job, he retracted his hand and said to the seven or eight people, “Since no one has any objections, it’s decided. I’ll look for them first and see if they’re still there.” He had arranged for Qiao Nian and the others to wait in the lounge in the morning when he was called over by Xie Xinyao and the others to get some experimental data. This experiment was related to semiconductors. It was the topic that Shi Fu had been researching recently. It was quite important. He was also a research fanatic. When he did experiments, he was usually in a state of self-absorption. After a while, he completely forgot about the group of ‘newbies’ he had brought in. However, Cao Yanhua was not deliberately targeting them. As soon as Han Cheng reminded him, he suddenly slapped his head and realized that he had left them there for the entire morning and afternoon. To express his apology, he would treat them to dinner with the other members of the Level 8 laboratory. After all, the people in the Level 8 laboratory usually did not eat with outsiders. This could be considered another form of compensation to Qiao Nian and the others. * * * In the lounge of the Level 8 laboratory. Qiao Nian finished another game after accurately scoring five kills. She led the team to win this round again. The game was over. Xue Zhu was so hungry that her eyes were blurry. She quickly waved her hand and said, “Qiao Nian, I’m not going to play anymore. I’m dizzy. I’ll vomit if I continue playing.” “Okay.” The girl placed her phone on the table and exited the game very calmly.
