After waiting quietly for the call to connect, Jiang Cheng got straight to the point: "I just had Gu Qingwan send you some things. They should be downstairs by now. Remember to accept them."
"What is that?"
Sitting at the dining table, You Lixuan paused for a moment upon hearing Jiang Cheng's extremely serious tone, then frowned and asked, "Why are you acting so strangely today?"
At the same time, the doorbell rang.
You Lixuan opened the door and saw Gu Qingwan standing there with a calm expression. He could only helplessly extend his hand: "What do you want to give me?"
Gu Qingwan gently reached out and placed the small, simply designed USB drive in his palm, then bowed slightly: "Mr. You, my task is complete, so I'll be leaving now."
Jiang Cheng did not directly answer You Lixuan's question. After realizing that Gu Qingwan had left, he continued on the other end of the phone, "The USB drive contains all the data for the global mecha joint research project. Remember to take a look at it in the next few days. You will be in charge of all future projects."
"ah?!"
You Lixuan had just sat down, stroking the smooth, cool casing of the USB drive on the sofa, when he heard Jiang Cheng's words. He suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face full of shock, and asked, "What do you mean? What are you going to do?"
"I have something to take care of."
Jiang Cheng had already guessed that he would react this way, so he calmly explained, "I will probably be away from the Federation for a long time. I don't know when I will be able to come back. So I need to hand over all my work as soon as possible."
Jiang Cheng paused, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes: "I don't need to tell you how important the global mecha joint research project is, so I wouldn't trust anyone other than you to handle it. You shouldn't let me down, right?"
"I……"
You Lixuan was stunned.
After a long pause, his tone regained its usual confidence and determination: "I understand. You can go ahead and do your thing. I'll take care of everything for you."
"OK."
Jiang Cheng felt a huge weight lifted from his heart and continued, "I've already introduced you to those high-level executives. You'll work with them to continue pushing forward all the projects. Don't slack off, remember, time waits for no one."
"I understand."
You Lixuan had very mixed feelings. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he swallowed all his words back.
Never mind, if Jiang Cheng wanted to say it, he would say it without being asked.
Now he's just glossing over it so lightly, which means he won't tell anyone about it.
As Jiang Cheng's friend for so long, You Lixuan naturally understood Jiang Cheng's personality very well.
He sighed sadly, a hint of reluctance in his voice: "Go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of everything."
"knew."
As Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, Gu Qingwan walked in from the doorway.
"Boss, the car is ready."
Next stop: Energy Science and Technology Institute.
Last night, Jiang Cheng had already drafted a simple plan for how things would proceed after his departure. Now, all he had to do was to hand over the responsibilities to each institute according to this plan.
After leaving the house, Gu Qingwan sat in the driver's seat as usual, turned on some soft music, and gently reminded Jiang Cheng in the back seat: "Boss, we're going to the Energy Technology Institute now. Dean Chen Shi just sent a message asking about it, and I replied that we'll be there within half an hour."
After obtaining Jiangcheng's plan, Gu Qingwan made appointments with each of the deans to prepare for a face-to-face handover.
"Um."
There have been so many things going on lately that Jiangcheng has hardly had a moment to breathe. The only time he can relax is during these snippets of time on the road each day.
He leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes slightly.
Gu Qingwan started the car and sped off on the highway.
When Jiang Cheng opened his eyes again, a slightly steaming latte sat quietly on the cup holder next to him.
Gu Qingwan could also sense his fatigue, and the worry in her tone became more and more obvious: "Boss, I added sugar to the coffee. Replenishing your sugar should help soothe your mood. I've also ordered lunch. It should be ready by the time the meeting ends."
"Um."
Jiang Cheng replied to Gu Qingwan's arrangements with a single syllable.
He felt really comfortable with this way of getting along.
He doesn't need to consider other people's feelings, and someone can arrange all the chores for him.
As Jiang Cheng entered the conference room, he slightly raised his eyes and happened to see a sprightly old man striding towards him.
"teacher."
Jiang Cheng stopped in his tracks, a smile playing on his lips, and nodded slightly in Chen Shi's direction: "Long time no see."
His gaze followed Chen Shi's steps, also taking in the old man in front of him.
It has to be said that without the stress of work, Chen Shi is in much better shape than he was a year ago.
At that time, he was always hunched over, and his voice was hoarse from exhaustion.
But Chen Shi, who appeared before Jiang Cheng now, was radiant and in excellent spirits.
Jiang Cheng was genuinely happy for Chen Shi's change, and the smile on his lips became even more pronounced.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Shi walked happily up to Jiang Cheng, laughing heartily as he grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm: "You little rascal, you haven't come to see me in so long! I've been missing you terribly!"
"I'm sorry, teacher, I've been too busy lately..."
