However, that's not necessarily true...
When Dean Xu saw that almost everyone had arrived, he stood up and raised his hand to gesture for them to leave.
"Alright, quiet down. We've gathered here today to find a new member for the weapons development project team."
On behalf of the research institute, I sincerely hope everyone achieves excellent results and serves our country! Alright, let's begin the assessment. Distribute the papers!
After saying that, Mr. Liu got up to hand out the test papers, but before he could finish, someone else came in from outside.
"Who is Qian Wu?"
Bai Yunshu and Dean Xu exchanged a glance. They've arrived...
Qian Wu stood up in surprise. "That's me. What do you need me for? I'm currently taking an important exam. Could you let me finish it first?"
Actually, he already had a bad feeling.
The man waved his hand behind him, signaling his men to take the man away. "Your accomplice, Wang Qiang, has already confessed. You two were involved in illegal buying and selling, and both of you were having affairs. Your exams are useless now. Just come with us."
Qian Wu looked utterly defeated. He hadn't expected that even after sending Wang Qiang to the farm and promising to take good care of his wife and daughter, this guy would be so disloyal as to implicate him as well!
He wanted to rebel and ask the dean for help, but unfortunately, his crimes were all very serious, unlike Bai Yunshu's background, so he was naturally looked down upon.
Nobody is willing to stand up for someone like that.
After Qian Wu was gagged and arrested, the assessment continued.
Bai Yunshu lost interest in what was to come and left the assessment office.
Dean Xu also came out.
"Want to come over for a visit?"
He left as soon as he finished speaking, not giving the other person a chance to refuse.
Bai Yunshu shook his head and chuckled helplessly. However, he truly owed today's matter to this little old man...
Thinking of this, he took a step and followed.
Dean Xu poured him some tea. "Tell me, what are you thinking? Once the evaluation results come out, this person will have to join the project team. Are you really sure about this?"
To be honest, he didn't want the other party to give up like this.
Bai Yunshu took the tea and drank a sip. His handsome face showed no regret or remorse, but rather a calm and composed demeanor.
"Dean, you know my situation; my background is always a ticking time bomb..."
After listening to him, Dean Xu waved his hand and said, "I can find a way to solve this for you. It's not difficult. I'd like to know, what do you plan to do after you leave the project team?"
He always had a feeling that this person wouldn't stay at the research institute for long.
Both professionally and personally, he didn't want to let them leave...
Bai Yunshu smiled and declined his offer; the fewer people involved, the better. They were already entangled, and he didn't want to drag innocent people down with them.
"Dean, please don't interfere in my affairs. The matters involved are too complicated. Also, you don't need to be sad. Life is unpredictable, and partings and reunions are common occurrences."
These words seemed to remind Dean Xu of something, and his eyes reddened. In the end, he didn't say anything more, only waved his hand, and let him leave.
Bai Yunshu found the other party's attitude towards him strange, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He still had to go back and share the good news with his little niece.
After he left, Dean Xu covered his face and only let go after a long while. His eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying.
He took out a handkerchief to wipe his face clean, opened the locked drawer, took out a photo frame, and stroked the person in the picture with his aged hand, his eyes full of longing.
"Wife, that child looks just like you, so outstanding, handsome, and dazzling..."
