Inside the meeting room.

Researcher An acted as a waiter for the group, preparing tea and serving it to everyone in turn.

"Thanks!"

Chen Dong appeared very polite, showing a friendly smile.

"Boss, you're too kind."

Facing Chen Dong, Researcher An felt that he was speaking somewhat incoherently, and he had never thought he would fail as much as he did today.

"Boss, should we notify the other staff?" Lin Zhiyuan asked.

In crowded places, he still habitually calls Chen Dong "Boss" instead of "Dongzi".

This is the least you can do to show respect to Chen Dong.

"No."

Chen Dong slowly shook his head. Today, he mainly came to check on the progress of the DVD project. In addition, on the way here, he heard Lin Zhiyuan mention Jiang Wanming.

"Xiao An, there's nothing more for you. You can go down now. Tell Professor Yang to come up as soon as he finishes his meal."

Seeing Chen Dong's knowing look, Wang An understood that it was most appropriate for him to say those words.

Chen Dong nodded with satisfaction. Researcher An felt as if he had been granted a pardon, not because he thought Chen Dong was particularly fierce.

On the contrary, Chen Dong gives people a very approachable feeling.

But for some reason, being around Chen Dong gave people a very scary feeling; that was the aura of someone in a superior position.

Perhaps even Chen Dong himself didn't realize this.

Hua Zi sat to one side, unsure of how to begin. He had been recruited by Chen Dong to work at the research institute, but all he could think about were the words Chen Dong had said earlier.

What do you mean by going to jail? That's a crime! And then there's the car company that Chen Dong arranged for him to join.

"Hua Zi, you look unhappy. Did I say something a little too harsh just now?"

When facing his former playmate, Chen Dong's tone of voice automatically softened, making the other person feel less awkward.

Hua Zi thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Dong, I don't know how to say it. I will do what you said about pirated CDs, but I really have no confidence in the matter of the car company."

As he spoke, Hua Zi's voice grew softer and softer.

He didn't even graduate from elementary school. Asking him to lead a car company full of college and junior college graduates is just a joke.

Hua Zi was still afraid that he would not do well and embarrass Chen Dong.

Chen Dong took out a special supply of cigarettes and handed one to each of them. "Hua Zi, I know what you're worried about. Do you feel that you have a low level of education and are afraid that you can't manage the company well?"

Hua Zi remained silent for a moment, but nodded after hearing this, which was considered an admission of what Chen Dong said.

"Do you know what my educational background is?"

These words were spoken.

Not only Hua Zi, but also Lin Zhiyuan and Wang An subconsciously looked at Chen Dong.

Chen Dong smiled and said, "I only have an elementary school education, but I still built such a big company. Let me ask you, Jiang Fei, A Long, A Hu, do they have high educational backgrounds?"

Hua Zi shook his head, feeling somewhat lost, yet a strange and inexplicable emotion was growing and sprouting in his heart, like a seed. With Chen Dong's words, it continued to grow, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had been awakened, as if he had been hit on the head and suddenly realized the truth.

Although Hua Zi did not answer immediately, Chen Dong knew that Hua Zi had emerged from that state of confusion.

Serious illness requires Mongolian medicine!

Hua Zi wasn't incompetent; he just couldn't let go of that inner conflict.

In his previous life, Chen Dong was used to such things and even felt some resistance towards them.

Because most of the knowledge you learn in school has absolutely no connection to your actual job.

On the contrary, those grassroots employees who work diligently and honestly are unable to get promoted because they are limited by their educational background.

In his lifetime, Chen Dong would never let such a thing happen to him. At least in the companies he managed, he valued personal ability more than academic qualifications.

"Have you thought it through?"

"I've thought it through!"

The changes in Hua Zi's tone during the question-and-answer session were noticeable even to onlookers.

"If there's nothing else, go back now. Just let go of the equipment you're holding, understand?"

"Okay, Dong-ge!"

Hua Zi chuckled sheepishly. Anyone who assumes he's an honest person just because he looks honest will definitely get ripped off.

"Um, Brother Dong..."

Hua Zi stared intently at the special-supply cigarettes Chen Dong had placed in front of him, rubbed his hands together, and chuckled, "Brother Dong, these cigarettes are pretty good. Where did you buy them?"

"Get lost! I only have this much cigarette, don't try to take advantage of me!"

Chen Dong chuckled and cursed, but still tossed him the half-pack of cigarettes in front of him.

"Go back and rest early. Oh, and leave the car here."

"Well....."

Hua Zi's eyes were glazed over. At this moment, what difference was there between making him leave the car and killing him?

The Longteng Research Institute is located at the very back of the high-tech industrial park, two kilometers away from Longteng Electronics, and even further from the city center. Wouldn't it be a nightmare to make him walk back?

Hua Zi looked at Lin Zhiyuan with a pleading gaze, and the latter glanced at him and said, "Leave the cigarettes, I'll figure something out for you."

"Dream on, this was given to me by Brother Dong!"

Hua Zi scoffed, thinking, "You think you can trick me out of the cigarettes I've already got? Dream on!"

Putting aside the taste, just seeing the two huge "Special Supply" characters on the white cigarette box makes Hua Zi feel that it's full of high-class features.

No, I need to be careful with my cigarettes. It wouldn't be bad to take them out and show them off when Ah Long, Ah Hu, and Fei Ge come back.

It's decided then and there!

Although Wang An didn't say anything, he was very envious. He had only managed to get two special-supply cigarettes from Chen Dong, but he had already fallen in love with their unique flavor.

The best cigarettes on the market are probably the Huazi series.
