Mr. Liu has maintained a calm demeanor at work these past few days, but only he knows the anxiety he feels inside.
The propaganda department's big-character posters have been up for several days now.
Those who were supposed to go to the countryside have all signed up. What if he still can't come up with a good solution?
Today he decided to take a gamble and go see the old dean.
The old dean was an upright man, devoted to the country and its people, and a good person. He probably couldn't bear to see the Xiao family fall into ruin and die.
Having mustered up my courage, I knocked on the door of the top-floor office.
"Come in!"
When Mr. Liu pushed open the door, he saw a mountain of books and documents piled up on the table, while the person who had called him in was sitting on the floor reading a book.
Upon seeing that it was him, he put down the book in his hand and dusted off his bottom.
"Please sit over there. Is there a problem with the project?"
Mr. Liu's project is crucial to whether our country can stand tall in the face of foreign powers!
He had been keeping an eye on it, and if he hadn't been tied up, he would have liked to get involved himself.
Bai Yunshu's departure meant the project team lost a key member, which made him very anxious!
Seeing his anxiety, Liu's father didn't waste any words.
"Dean, rest assured, there are no problems with the project. Before Comrade Bai left, he had drawn up and organized all the drawings and data and handed them over to us. As long as we verify them one by one, success is only a matter of time."
I've come to see you today because I have something very important to discuss. It also concerns Comrade Bai.
Mr. Liu was planning to first talk about people related to his own research institute, and then bring up the Xiao family. He believed that the director would not ignore it!
Upon hearing that it was related to Baiyun Book, Dean Xu immediately lost his composure!
He jumped up and grabbed Liu's father's arm.
"What happened? What happened to him?"
They were still exchanging letters before the Lunar New Year! Things have been really heated lately, which is why he hasn't been in contact with them!
Could something have happened to his son? That absolutely cannot be!
"Speak up! What are you standing there for?"
Mr. Liu was also frightened by his current appearance. What happened? Why did the dean get so agitated at the mere mention of Comrade Bai?
However, he had no other choice at the moment. The dean's worry seemed genuine; perhaps it was a sign of his appreciation for talent!
After all, the dean cherishes talent the most! Yes, that should be it! That's even better!
"Dean, it's like this, my daughter works in the publicity department! She was passing by the minister's office the other day and overheard something incredible."
She had a good relationship with Comrade Bai and his nephew, and she came to me for help because she was worried.
..."
He recounted everything Liu Meiling had overheard that day. The old dean wasn't easily fooled; it was best to be honest with him!
Dean Xu listened and remained silent for a long time.
He has never liked to interfere in those matters, but Commander Xiao and he are considered friends.
He was deeply saddened by his old friend's accident and went to great lengths to help him negotiate and fight for his life.
I never expected that my son's niece would be so deeply involved with the Xiao family.
Therefore, this matter will inevitably involve his son.
This is something he absolutely doesn't want to see! He's his only son, and if he gets killed, he'll have no chance of survival! He'll take a few people down with him even if he dies!
"I know about this, but keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone!"
Mr. Liu knew that this meant he had agreed to help, so he quickly bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Dean!"
Dean Xu waved his hand, offering no explanation. The fewer people who knew about his relationship with his son, the better!
After everyone left, he sat for a while, and in the afternoon, he went home as usual as if nothing had happened.
