the people who do a good chunk of materials science research have last names like wang, li , zhang

you don't exactly need to hack a network drive when you can just hire the guy who came up with it

It's not clear to me whether you already knew that those three names in particular are idiomatic in China as the names of 'random' people. 张三，李四，王五.

(Traditionally 李 was the most common surname in China. Last I heard it had been overtaken by 王.)

I don't know who random guys One and Two are.
