Chapter 106 Who will share my future with me?
On the morning of July 7, Xu Ying took hundreds of photos. She took the photos to a photo studio to have them developed and bought a very thick photo album.
She arranged the past scenes in chronological order, and turning the pages seemed to bring people back to the old times.
After sorting out the order, Xu Ying adjusted the positions of some photos to make them better suit her wishes.
At noon, she went back to her hometown to find Xu Wanyang. This cousin also lived with her grandparents and helped her with the decoration.
When she arrived, she saw Xu Wanyang sitting next to the woods in the courtyard garden. It is worth mentioning that there was originally no garden here.
"Huh? Have you finished your exam?"
Xu Ying raised her head and glanced at the workers busy on the roof: "Yeah, I just took the exam yesterday. The garden is nice. Will it be hot sitting outside?"
"Fortunately, there is a tent to block it."
"Mingming didn't come?"
"He went online. Do you want me to call him back?"
"No, no. I came back to see you. How much do you know about my work? I want to hear an outsider's opinion."
The word "Institute" is only circulated in a small circle. Sometimes people will contact the "Institute" in an emergency, but the Institute claims to be a security agency, nothing more, and the name "Institute" is not used in the declaration.
Xu Wanyang had heard a little about her cousin's work: "Is she the owner of a county town?"
"It is like this now, but you will soon become the master of a city. I want you to be my assistant. When school starts, you can continue to be my assistant in Youlong City and help us gather information."
“What does it take to be an assistant?”
"According to the institute's regulations, assistants have very little to do. This job, and even the entire institute, is to serve outstanding asymptotics."
“Wouldn’t that be too unfair?”
"From the moment we got the asymptote, we were destined to never live the same as before. But I haven't told Mu Zhengguang about these things. He is not very competitive. If I tell him that I want to... I want to decide something, he will definitely scold me." Xu Ying didn't dare to tell her classmates these words, she didn't dare to tell her cousin either. What she wanted to decide was another kind of justice.
Xu Wanyang was greatly surprised. She thought that the two would not have a disagreement on such a major matter. In order to prevent her sister and Mu Zhengguang from "breaking up", she kindly reminded: "Why don't you discuss it with him?"
Xu Ying's eyes flashed with sadness: "For now, in this matter, I won't change him, and he won't change me. Maybe one day, I will 'wake up', or I will learn something from him and change my mind, but that's all in the future."
Xu Wanyang believed that she could handle this matter, so he did not persuade her any further: "Ah... okay... I don't quite understand the way you two get along, but it sounds good. I am willing to be an assistant."
Xu Ying registered her cousin as an assistant. After lunch, she returned to the county town. During this period, she did not mention fulfilling her wish.
Classmate Guang suggested that she should not change Xu Wanyang's asymptote and not choose Xu Wanyang as an assistant. She adopted one of the two suggestions and discarded the other.
Wang Hongyu saw her daughter coming back and asked: "Why don't you go back to your hometown and play for a few days? Are you going to your dad's place this summer vacation?"
"No, I didn't go last year and I won't go this year either. I'm too busy at work and I don't have time." Last year, Xu Yingze's excuse was "there is no asymptote and it's not safe to go out." This year, there is no need to make excuses because she is really busy at work.
The form sent by Song Shihe had a lot of problems, and many items needed to be supplemented. It would probably take two or three days to complete these items and meet with the bus station employees one by one. This was only the second assessment task.
The third assessment task probably can't be completed in half a day or a day. These two tasks, plus other work matters and the other party's birthday, will take about ten days, half a month or even longer. The summer vacation of the second year of high school lasts from July 7 to August 9, a total of 8 days. I may only stay at my father's place for three or four days before returning. It's too rushed, so it's better not to go.
"Do you need to ask your father to take a leave and come back to stay for a while so that he can see you too?"
"Well... OK, then let's do it next weekend. I'll try to finish it before the weekend... Let's not talk about work for now. Mom, have you ever thought about getting a strong asymptote?"
Xu Yingze has many ideas: I only added auxiliary variables to my cousin, and I did it with the help of my classmates. He added auxiliary variables to both of his friends. Judging from the quantity alone, he is more generous than me. He and I don’t want to share this reinforcement method with too many people, so even our biological parents are excluded. But now there is a new reinforcement method, is it available? Adding auxiliary variables is not as good as realizing a wish. After the variables are added, the asymptote does not change, the domain radius does not change, only the asymptotic rate changes, and after the wish is realized, everything changes. I don’t want to add auxiliary variables for them, but I can help them realize their wishes. Besides, these two methods are used together, the effect is significant, and can they overcome various difficulties?
"I do, but seeing that you have a powerful asymptote, I am satisfied."
Wang Hongyu's words were mixed with water. Although middle-aged people cannot participate in the modeling competition, the attraction of asymptotes to them is unimaginable. However, as people get older, there are indeed many things that are beyond their ability. Under no circumstances can people gradually give up some unrealistic fantasies, but they still cannot be "satisfied".
Xu Ying saw that her mother's intention was not so strong, so she put the matter aside: "Okay, let's deal with this later."
Xu Yingze's willingness was not so strong. She resisted sharing the two strengthening methods with others from the bottom of her heart: if I strengthen my parents, if one day, others also want to get the strengthening method, then the family will suffer. As for why I strengthened my cousin, one is that my cousin and I have a good relationship, and the other is that at this stage, my cousin has benefited too much from it, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
In other words, at a certain age, Xu Wanyang was regarded by Xu Yingze as the closest person besides Mu Zhengguang, her mother, father, grandfather, and grandmother, and she should help such a person. Moreover, if such a person were to get into trouble, she would have the courage, determination, and rationality to bear the corresponding consequences. After all, her cousin was not really the closest person.
Xu Ying was not sure about Mu Zhengguang's specific thoughts. She guessed that her classmates must have made similar assessments. His result was that friends can be strengthened, but family members cannot be strengthened, while hers was the opposite.
Whether it was the same or opposite, both of them did it according to their own ideas.
That afternoon, Xu Ying called Song Shihe and they rushed to Pinglin County Bus Station together.
On the way, Xu Ying asked her: "Do you think there is something wrong with the form you sent me?"
Song Shihe answered calmly: "Yes, but I can't tell whether they are true or false."
Xu Ying didn't care about her perfunctory attitude: "Since there are problems, let's solve them. Next time, or the next time, don't let the same problem occur again."
At the bus station, Chen Pan recently heard something strange. She had taken a few days off from work due to family matters, so she didn't fill out the form. Her colleagues told her that the form was optional, and judging from the items on the form, it was just an ordinary questionnaire.
The first thing Xu Ying did after arriving at the bus station was to talk to Chen Pan: You were not here on the day you filled out the form, but I am here in person today, so you can be the first one to be filled in the "questionnaire".
At the same time, Song Shihe retrieved files from relevant departments and compared them with the items on the questionnaire.
Song Shihe set up many items in the form, including name, age, date of birth, education, height, weight, blood type, whether married, whether having children, children's age, whether children are married, first-order asymptotic rate, personal monthly income, family monthly income... Some people got lost in the many blanks, relaxed their vigilance, and filled in the real asymptotic rate. Some people smelled the scent of conspiracy in the options, became more vigilant, and filled in many wrong answers.
Song Shihe thought: If someone fooled me with other answers, they must have also filled in a false number for the asymptotic rate. By comparing them in this way, I can at least select a small number of answers with relatively high accuracy and infer their asymptotic rates. As for those with extremely high error rates, they will be interviewed one by one after Chen Pan.
