"But Jiangcheng is different. To be honest, when we were developing the gene reagent, do you know what the leader told me?"
"What?" A look of confusion appeared on Chen Shi's face. His hand, which was about to make a move, remained suspended in the air, not falling for a long time.
"What he told me was to push Jiangcheng onto the international stage and make him a youth leader! Individuals can represent the country and act as a deterrent to other countries! On this point, the leader's idea is exactly the same as that of the United States."
"And then what?"
"You know what happened next. Jiang Cheng did something that shocked everyone: he chose to refuse the leader's request!"
"What an honor it is to be our representative figure on the international stage."
Let alone an eighteen-year-old who couldn't refuse, even you and I, at seventy or eighty years old, honestly ask yourselves, could you refuse?
Old Chen shook his head. This was an enormous temptation!
Jiang Cheng, however, refused with nonchalant ease, even resigning from his professorship. He left without a trace, leaving behind only his achievements and fame!
What a level of attainment this is!
"At the time, I couldn't understand his actions at all. I felt that he had given up a promising path, and we even had a big argument! Some people work hard their whole lives and still can't achieve such success, but when he was about to be crowned, he chose to give it up! What kind of mentality does that take, what terrifying self-control!"
"It's like seeing piles of gold and silver treasures, or the most precious things in the world, placed within easy reach!" Old Zhong said, reaching out to pinch a chess piece as a metaphor.
"But he chose to turn around and leave without looking back."
But both elderly people knew this.
In hindsight, his decision was correct.
What are the consequences of entering the world stage and becoming a leader?
Too busy to focus on scientific research, China was caught off guard when the scientific research summit was about to begin and new energy technologies were released!
During his time in Lanjing, he focused on scientific research and did not idle around.
Therefore, controlled nuclear fusion has been announced! China has turned the tide.
The scientific research summit a month from now will be a huge success!
Old Zhong sighed, "If we're talking about chess skills, ordinary people think one step ahead, but you and I think five steps ahead."
Jiangcheng is someone who thinks ten steps ahead before taking one!
It was through him that I truly saw a spirit that was selfless, not seeking fame or fortune, but wholeheartedly dedicated to strengthening the nation.
What a precious quality this is!
Talented people emerge in every generation!
He is probably a gift from heaven to China.
Zhong sighed inwardly.
In the gaps between his words.
Unbeknownst to Old Chen, a chess piece had been quietly placed in a certain position.
"Old friend, actually, besides wanting to play chess with you, there's another matter I'd like to discuss with you!"
"Speak freely. With our friendship, why are you beating around the bush?"
"Then don't get angry when I tell you."
"I'm not that stingy," Old Zhong said with a smile.
"Jiang Cheng has resigned from his position, hasn't he? He's such a talented person; he even researched controlled nuclear fusion. Don't you think our Energy Institute should show some appreciation? At least give him a position; it'll look better to the outside world. Otherwise, if a student from the Institute of Biotechnology has accomplished something that our Energy Institute couldn't, it won't look good on my face!"
"Is that all? Just give it to me, why ask for my opinion?" Old Zhong waved his hand, looking completely indifferent. "Then what position are you planning to offer?"
"What do you think of the position of Vice Dean of Energy Technology?" he asked tentatively.
After speaking...
Old Zhong's gaze was fixed on the chessboard.
The smile on his face froze instantly.
During their discussion, Chen Shi had somehow managed to checkmate him!
They were closing in on the commander's tent!
And his true purpose for coming here today has become clear.
It surfaced.
After a moment of silence, anger suddenly surged across Old Zhong's face!
A slap landed on the chessboard!
The wooden chess pieces scattered in an instant, rolling on the ground with a "drip-drip" sound.
Zhong Yingzhe suddenly stood up and pointed at his old friend!
"You bastard Chen Shi! So that's why you suddenly showed up at my door!"
It's true that people don't visit a temple without a reason!
"Heh, you offered him the position of vice dean right off the bat. Don't you know what you're up to?"
"We're all ancient foxes, what are you trying to pull off with your ghost stories?"
Ai Jincheng has betrayed us, and now a genius like Jiang Cheng, capable of getting involved in the energy field, has emerged.
Chen Shi wanted to make him his successor!
His eyes glared angrily!
When Chen Shi realized that his thoughts had been guessed, an awkward smile appeared on his face.
"Look at you, you're so old and still have such a bad temper. Let's talk this out!"
Old Zhong suddenly waved his hand.
"No way! Jiang Cheng is my successor, and I'm definitely handing over the Future Biotechnology Institute to him! You suddenly appear and try to take him away from me, there's no room for negotiation!"
"You should let him decide this himself!"
"Decision my ass!"
······
Within the Institute of Biotechnology.
As the researchers below left the lab in the evening to go to the cafeteria for dinner...
Suddenly, I heard a commotion upstairs.
They all looked toward Elder Zhong's office, puzzled.
Who made Dr. Zhong so angry? He was cursing in his office!
