Not to mention distant examples, how many American politicians and celebrities have had their emails and computers hacked, and their personal privacy thoroughly exposed?
Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian…
"Alright, Professor Guderian, you don't need to list any more examples. The internet is indeed not trustworthy." Gao Kui said with a serious expression.
When Guderian mentioned Paris Hilton's name, Gao Kui believed that paper documents were indeed more secure. If electronic documents weren't less secure, Paris Hilton wouldn't have become Gao Kui's mentor.
Her first teacher was the eldest daughter of the Hilton family, giving her a much higher starting point than many of her peers who were Japanese teachers.
Speaking of Paris Hilton, Gao Kui suddenly smiled knowingly: "So you've seen Paris Hilton's videos too, Dean? It's good to be mixed-race, even in your seventies or eighties..."
"Ahem, I only heard about Paris Hilton when I was in the United States. The exposure of the Hilton family's eldest daughter's videotape caused a sensation across the United States at the time."
After a pause, Guderian added, "Furthermore, compared to Principal Angers, I am still a young man. Do you know what year Principal Angers was born?"
In 1878, he was already 130 years old, but just last month he was rumored to be having an affair with Kate Beckinsale, the female lead of "Underworld". It is said that the two met at a party and got along very well. After the party, they went to the same hotel and the same floor.
You can still find related posts on the Night Watchers forum.
"The Night Watchers forum is so bold? They even dare to expose the principal's scandals?"
"What's wrong with exposing this? The entire school agrees that he's just an old slut who's still young at heart and likes to philander... a womanizer."
The three walked and talked all the way to the dean's office. Professor Guderian then realized something was wrong, as the conversation had been steered off course by Gao Kui's free-flowing thoughts.
From the confidentiality of electronic and paper documents to Paris Hilton's videotapes, to Professor Guderian himself, to Angers, to the Night Watchers forum...
Gao Kui's words are all related, but after a few sentences, they are completely different from what he originally wanted to talk about.
Guderian slammed on the brakes to bring the focus back, took a photograph from the drawer and handed it to Gao Kui. The photograph showed a rather handsome middle-aged man with a spy-like air about him.
Xia Mi also stood on tiptoe to look, but Gao Kui lowered the photo and tilted it a little more towards Xia Mi.
"The person in the photo is Raymond, a B-level specialist in the Executive Department. He happens to be in Beijing recently, and the preparatory class there entrusted him to deliver the documents."
He just arrived in Fuzhou this afternoon and is currently staying in room 666 on the 26th floor of the Regent Hotel. He will catch a flight to leave Fuzhou at 23 p.m.
Go to his place and get the documents back.
Just take the photo; I've written the address on the back of it.
Professor Guderian was afraid that Gao Kui might forget what Commissioner Raymond looked like and his address, but in order to train Gao Kui's abilities, he had no choice but to let Gao Kui carry out the mission.
We can't go to great lengths to cure a super A-level student, then treat him like a precious statue and do nothing for him, can we?
Retrieving a document—this kind of informal errand-running task is perfect for Gao Kui at this stage. Starting with the easy and gradually progressing to the advanced, he can eventually cultivate a top-tier hybrid.
"Be very careful not to lose the documents."
Professor Guderian, fearing that Gao Kui might not take it seriously, added, "Commissioner Raymond brought the original document; we'll have to send it over again later."
Why send the original document instead of a photocopy?
"Photocopies are not conducive to confidentiality. Every time a document is photocopied, the possibility of it being leaked doubles."
Only when a student's file is officially enrolled in Kassel will a copy of the relevant documents be entered into Kassel's database.
The document sent over is the original; it will be entered into the Kassel database later.
Xia Mi puffed out her small chest, clenched her fists, and looked serious, like Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible who was about to save the world.
"Don't worry, Professor, we will carry out this mission with the same seriousness as escorting a nuclear weapons cipher box, and safely deliver this document back to you."
"There's no need to be so serious. The documents have already arrived in FZ City, so there won't be any more problems. Just drive there and pick them up as usual. I'm just sending you there to experience what it's like to carry out a mission."
It's evening now and the weather's nice, so let's treat it as a drive or a date, and keep a relaxed mindset.
Guderian's eyes hinted that he could hone his skills while also having a beautiful young woman by his side to cultivate a relationship—truly killing two birds with one stone.
“Professor, you can’t use the word ‘dating’ carelessly. If one of you doesn’t mean it that way, it can easily cause misunderstandings.” Xia Mi glanced at Gao Kui, who seemed to be deep in thought.
Professor Guderian laughed heartily: "It's just a metaphor. The main thing is that seeing the two of you always reminds me of my school days..."
Did the professor ever have girls pursuing him when he was young?
Xia Mi's eyes were full of formulaic curiosity, which she echoed Guderian's questioning, while emphasizing the word "also".
"Of course, I was quite handsome when I was young..."
Gao Kui suddenly spoke up, interrupting Guderian who was reminiscing about the glorious past: "Xia Mi doesn't need to go. Nuonuo and I will go get the documents."
Ok?
Guderian and Xia Mi suddenly froze, looking at Gao Kui in unison. What are you talking about?
Chapter 47 Parting and Death
In the enclosed courtyard, the old sycamore trees stand tall and majestic, and the Gem Jaguar Egg and Ferrari 430 lie quietly under the shade of the trees. As dusk falls, the light shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the bright red paint of the car, creating dappled light and shadow.
"Should I go with Gao Kui?"
Chen Motong, who was about to have dinner, was called over. After hearing the task, he was slightly puzzled. Why wasn't Xia Mi sent? What was Gao Kui thinking?
"I just wanted to ride in a rich woman's Ferrari."
Have you ever watched "Home with Kids"? Liu Xing, whose family lives within the Third Ring Road of Beijing, owns a house and a car, and whose parents are highly educated, finds it a rare treat to ride in Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue's mother's BMW.
I'm from the bottom of society, I can't compare to Master Jing. Now your Ferrari is parked here, and I have to consider whether this is my only chance in this lifetime.
Gao Kui was spouting nonsense, but it wasn't entirely a lie. What boy doesn't like a red prancing horse?
"Just because of this, and there's no other reason?" Chen Motong asked, still somewhat doubtful.
"if not?
Vettel once said that everyone is a Ferrari fan, even if he says he isn't. Even if he says Mercedes is the best car brand in the world, he's still a Ferrari fan.
"Who is Vettel?" Chen Motong and Xia Mi asked at the same time. Was he some celebrity?
"Who knows?" Gao Kui shrugged.
Gao Kui didn't know who Vettel was. This person's words just suddenly appeared in his mind and then came to his lips.
"Actually, it's because Xia Mi won't be officially enrolled in Kassel for another two years."
Professor Guderian, unfazed by this, brought the focus back to what Gao Kui had steered the conversation away from, and offered a seemingly reasonable explanation: "It's more appropriate to give things like this, which can help you develop your skills and get familiar with the mission environment, to the three of you who are about to enroll."
Professor Guderian was always able to find seemingly reasonable reasons and motivations for Gao Kui's behavior.
"But then again, after we enroll, we'll probably be frequently called up to assist the executive department specialists in carrying out missions, so we won't lack such opportunities in the future."
On the contrary, this opportunity is even more precious to Xia Mi, who will not be enrolled in school for another two years.
Gao Kui suddenly had another brain fart and pulled off a double whammy, using the same seemingly reasonable reasoning to refute Professor Guderian.
Professor Guderian was speechless. "We are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty rebel?"
Oh, this saying and this story were left by Gao Kui's ancestor.
"Alright, alright, it's just driving to pick up a document. Why are you making such a fuss, like the main characters in a movie arguing about how to save the world?"
"Sister Nuonuo, you just need to go with Brother Ai and get the documents back, okay?"
After arguing for so long, Xia Mi couldn't stand it anymore. Standing behind Chen Motong, she pushed Chen Motong forward.
"OK then."
Chen Motong decisively stopped hesitating and extended her hand to Professor Guderian: "The key."
"What key?"
“Gemjet’s car keys.”
Chen Motong made a face at Gao Kui: "You want to ride in a Ferrari? I'm not going to let you have your way. They say the best things are the ones you can't have. I'm just helping you, a die-hard Ferrari fan, so that you won't lose your longing for Ferrari after you ride in the real thing."
During this evening rush hour, the Ferrari and the Gemdale won't differ much in speed within the city, though the Gemdale might be slightly faster, since these low-speed electric vehicles don't need to follow traffic rules and can weave through any gaps.
Professor Guderian simply and decisively handed the key to Chen Motong without saying a word; otherwise, who knows how long they could have argued about it.
Chen Motong put on sunglasses, got into the driver's seat, rolled down the window, turned to look at Gao Kui with an expressionless face: "Get in the car."
Even if you change your car from a Ferrari worth four or five million to a cheap electric car worth less than ten thousand, a girl with dark red hair can still look cool.
"I'll ride in your Ferrari again next time."
Gao Kui climbed into the passenger seat, threw his tennis bag onto the back seat, and waved to Xia Mi outside the car window: "Bye-bye, goodbye sister. I'm about to set sail. Don't worry about me, I have the oars of happiness and wisdom."
Xia Mi wiped away non-existent tears and casually recited a line from Zhang Zhenyue's "Goodbye": "I will remember your face, I will cherish the memories you gave me, these days will never be erased from my heart..."
Gao Kui clapped his hands and laughed heartily. "Cool! This is what dialogue should be like! What's the point of just repeating those lines that have been overused in movies?"
Before Xia Mi could finish reciting the lyrics, Chen Motong ruthlessly started the car and sped away in the Gemstone Express.
Gao Kui leaned out of the car window and waved to Xia Mi. Xia Mi chased after the car for a few steps, as if it were a life-or-death separation.
Once the old man's car disappeared around the corner, Gao Kui quickly snapped out of his idol drama mode and skillfully fiddled with the car's central control unit, connecting it via Bluetooth to play Eason Chan's "Under Mount Fuji".
Gemstone Express was driving slowly on the road, but perhaps due to a rebellious streak, Chen Motong wasn't strictly adhering to traffic rules. The evening rush hour had only just ended, and traffic was already getting congested once they entered the city.
Fortunately, the two were driving a low-speed electric vehicle (LSV). When the motor vehicle lane was blocked, Chen Motong would switch lanes and drive in the non-motorized vehicle lane, which seemed to be an instinct for every LSV driver.
There's generally always one way to go, and it's actually faster than driving a motor vehicle.
Gao Kui lowered the car window, listened to the song "Under Mount Fuji" playing on repeat on the cheap loudspeaker, and swayed his head as he looked out the window.
"Why did you suddenly ask me to join you on a mission? Have you suddenly fallen for me? I'm quite happy that my beauty and charm have been recognized, but Xia Mi will probably be very disappointed."
"It's obvious to everyone that girl likes you a lot."
Chen Motong still cared about this issue.
You can't hide your feelings for someone. If you like someone, you'll unconsciously treat them differently. It might be exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. Many youth movies have scenes like that of someone pulling a girl's ponytail.
Xia Mi treated Gao Kui very specially, spending more time with him and even using the joking term "love brother" as a common way of addressing him.
Gao Kui didn't treat Xia Mi any special way. He interacted with Finger and Chu Zihang in the same way. It was just that Xia Mi always clung to Gao Kui and could understand his thought process, so the two of them interacted a lot and seemed intimate.
The only person in the base who received special treatment from Gao Kui was Chen Motong. He was particularly cold to Chen Motong, but in the last few days, he had been paying more attention to Chen Motong and always looking for opportunities to contact her.
Chen Motong couldn't understand this contradiction in attitude and behavior; she couldn't figure out Gao Kui's true attitude towards her.
"You've got a wild goosebumps."
After spending a few days together, Gao Kui, who had become quite familiar with Chen Motong, showed no mercy: "I won't say that I wouldn't like you even if all the women in the world died. After all, I haven't seen all the women in the world yet, and maybe there are even worse ones than you?"
But of all the people I've known so far, you're the one I dislike the least.
