Chapter 355 This news can’t be false, right?

As soon as Yang Da finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into deathly silence.

Everyone knew that this was a choice made out of necessity, but it was still very painful to watch the project being shelved.

After all, they have spent a lot of time and effort on this project.

Just when the results are about to come out, we are informed that we have to suspend the work. Who wouldn’t be upset?

As the person in charge of the project, Yang Da felt heavier than anyone else present, but he had to cheer himself up and comfort everyone.

"Don't be discouraged, everyone. It's just a temporary suspension. Maybe it will be restarted soon."

Yang Da couldn't even convince himself of this, let alone convince others.

Once a project is put on hold, it will be difficult to restart it.

Sure enough, after hearing this comfort, everyone's expression did not improve.

This meeting was just a notification and ended quickly.

When everyone came out again, they all looked listless as if their energy had been drained away.

When we left the conference room, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, just in time for lunch.

"Let's go eat first."

Yang Da greeted everyone.

But how could they be in the mood to eat?

"As the old saying goes, man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you'll be hungry. I heard there's egg soup today, so hurry up, or there won't be any soup left if you're late."

Yang Da smiled and said a few more words of advice, as if he was also affected by what had just happened.

But anyone could see that his smile was forced.

Everyone felt even worse, but in the end they listened to the advice and walked towards the cafeteria.

There was indeed egg soup in the cafeteria.

If this had happened in the past, everyone would have been so happy.

After all, the research institute is located deep in the desert, and it is difficult to send supplies in from outside.

In addition, the country is indeed poor, and it is not easy to let them eat eggs every day.

But at this time, everyone looked at the egg soup in the pot and had no appetite at all.

"I won't drink this egg soup anymore. Can you save this money and continue our research?"

Suddenly, a young researcher spoke with a choked voice.

After hearing this, people felt even more upset.

They have spent countless days and nights on this project and finally made some progress, but now it has been stopped.

If not eating eggs can exchange for research, then they are willing to eat only wowotou every day in the future!

Yang Da patted the young man on the shoulder and smiled bitterly.

"Don't be silly. What can you do with this little money?"

Everyone was very disappointed.

Yes, what can this little money do? Those who do research think twice before spending every penny, fearing that they will fail to live up to the country's trust and the people's trust.

But even though we are so frugal, the money is still spent like water!

Doing research is never an easy task.

It takes money, people and time.

But even if all these are in place, there is still the risk of failure or being stopped during the process.

This meal had egg soup, but everyone ate it tastelessly.

After the meal, no one spoke, and they returned to the barracks dormitory in silence.

The dormitory conditions are very simple, with two people living in one room.

There were two beds, two tables and two chairs in the dormitory. There were some books and a ceramic cup on the table, and nothing else.

The whole dormitory looks empty.

Yang Da lay on the bed with a blank look in his eyes.

He seemed to be thinking about something, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing.

Not long after, his roommate Wu Zhengming also came back. Seeing Wu Zhengming looking like a wooden man, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Yang, when are you leaving?"

The project has been stopped and they will soon be transferred to other places.

As for where, due to confidentiality regulations, they don't know yet.

It's even unclear whether they will be able to meet again in the future.

After working together for so many years, we are about to say goodbye. It would be a lie to say that I am not sad.

“I haven’t received the transfer order yet.”

Yang Da no longer had the strong and optimistic look he had outside, and his voice became dull.

Wu Zhengming felt even more upset.

"It doesn't really matter where you go, you're all researching weapons for the country."

It was unclear whether Wu Zhengming was comforting Yang Da or himself.

Yang Da raised the corner of his lips.

How could there be no difference? That was the project they were leading.

Although it is called a project, it is actually like their child.

They had invested countless efforts in raising this child, who was on the verge of becoming a successful person, but suddenly he was gone.

Such frustration and pain cannot be relieved in a few words.

Wu Zhengming knew that his persuasion was in vain, so he didn't say anything in the end.

No one in the entire institute slept that night.

Wu Zhengming tossed and turned all night, and only closed his eyes vaguely at dawn.

But before he could sleep a little longer, he heard "bang bang bang" on the door.

"Director Yang! Open the door!"

Wu Zhengming had a splitting headache from the noise and he opened his eyes with difficulty. It was a rare moment for him to be in a bad mood when he woke up.

He opened the door and glared at the young man outside.

"You better have something important to say!"

All projects have been stopped, all work has been halted, and the entire institute can be said to be in a state of doing nothing.

He really couldn't imagine anything that could make him so excited!

"Deputy Director Wu, this is great news! We have money! We have money!"

As soon as these words fell, before Wu Zhengming could react to what being rich meant, a figure suddenly appeared beside him!

"Xiao Cheng, what did you say? What do you mean you have money?"

Yang Da grabbed Xiao Cheng's clothes and stared at him!

"Director Yang! We have money now. A rice research institute in Lianning County donated 3 million to our Northwest Research Institute, and the higher authorities have allocated 1 million to us. We don't have to stop our project!"

Xiao Cheng was a quick talker, and even though he was so excited, he still quickly repeated the call he had just received.

Yang Da felt dizzy after hearing the number 1 million.

It took me a long time to figure out what it meant.

"You said we have 1 million?" he confirmed again.

The voice was full of disbelief.

They were clearly trapped in endless despair yesterday, but when they woke up, everything seemed to be bright?

Yang Da suspected that he might be dreaming!

"It's absolutely true!" Xiao Cheng's face was also full of excitement.

He wanted to jump up at the thought that their research would not be abandoned halfway.

"Hahaha!"

Yang Da laughed loudly towards the sky, and he looked as if he had been resurrected with full blood.

Wu Zhengming on the side also had a beaming smile on his face!

"Let's go and tell everyone the good news!"

Soon, the entire institute was plunged into a sea of ​​joy.

At this moment Yang Da suddenly remembered what Xiao Cheng said.

"Where does the money for that rice research institute come from?"

That’s 3 million!

Xiao Cheng was also dumbfounded. How would he know how the other person got that money?

When he received the call in the morning, he was just happy. How could he know that the Rice Research Institute really meant what it said?

In the end, the two of them stared at each other, and couldn't help but worry in their hearts, could this news be false?
