Chapter 327 Deep Virtual Reality 155
After Xie Ning left, the previously silent conference room instantly erupted in excitement.
Some people were filled with regret, while others breathed a sigh of relief and secretly resolved to be more careful in the future, because they had also done some bad things, but Xie Ning did not put them on the list. This meeting was meant to make an example of them.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, then either fell silent or mocked others who were being treated like chickens.
"I already said that Assistant Xie... no, Engineer Xie only seems easy to talk to on the surface, but you really think she's weak and easy to bully. Just think about it seriously, what kind of person can come back alive from the alien-infested Sky Island unscathed?"
"That's right. Besides, she's an Awakened One. If she gets upset and kills someone, the higher-ups will only protect her."
One researcher countered, "You're wrong. Even if Engineer Xie isn't an Awakened, in terms of technical ability alone, we are still inferior to her, even if we have more seniority. If anything happens, the higher-ups will only choose her."
So why did they have such a brain fart and choose to go against Xie Ning?
It's one thing for other factions in the company to target Xie Ning, but given the choice, the company might still abandon Xie Ning. But what background and qualifications do they have to get involved?
Even if this might have some impact on Xie Ning, is it good for them?
Not only did it bring no benefit, but it also resulted in being kicked out of the group, which was truly foolish.
"If she's being kicked out, she's being kicked out. There's no future for her here. She's just a newcomer, how far can she go? She hasn't even published many papers yet, ha."
"That's right, even doing odd jobs in other experimental groups is better than staying here. I'm just wondering what will happen to you guys even if you work as diligently as Gu Xi for Xie Ning!"
These words caused some people to waver again.
Xie Ning was unaware that not only those on the list were leaving her group, but also some of the people she had intended to make an exception for were considering leaving as well.
Even if Xie Ning knew, she didn't care. She had too many things to do and no energy to care about everyone's mental state. If she wanted to leave, she could leave.
A few days later, she brought in the people introduced by her mentor, as well as those from work-study programs and alumni groups. At this time, many college students need internships, and she only needs to provide one opportunity. There are plenty of people eager to get in, after all, it's a big company.
Even if they don't end up staying on the job, it's still good to have a valuable internship experience on their resume.
"Director Xie, your appointment letter has arrived." Gu Xi placed the gold-embossed appointment letter on Xie Ning's desk.
Although Xie Ning does not have a professorship, her position has been promoted several levels, and she is now in a position similar to that of Director Crete.
The appointment letter hasn't been issued yet due to procedural issues, but she has access to some of her privileges.
Hearing the name Gu Xi, Xie Ning smiled slightly. Although this little assistant was not very talkative, she was very meticulous and thoughtful in her work.
Previously, Gu Xi had been in a menial role in the group. After a group member made a mistake, Xie Ning asked Gu Xi to take over. She did an unexpectedly good job, which is why Xie Ning decided to promote Gu Xi to assistant.
She needs at least one assistant to follow up on the experiments, and a personal assistant to arrange daily routines. Gu Xi is currently handling both roles. Once she has enough staff, things will be easier.
"We're going to the management bureau tomorrow to discuss the pilot program with them. Remember to prepare all the materials."
"Okay." Gu Xi carefully noted down the schedule, planning to work overtime tonight to prepare the materials and the machines to be transported.
"I will send you the information before 10 p.m. tonight. Will the machines be delivered to your home or will you pick them up at the company?"
"I'll come back to the company to pick it up, and then we'll go to the management bureau together. By the way, I recently moved. If you need anything important in the future, you can come find me here."
Xie Ning sent Gu Xi an address, and Gu Xi's eyes widened immediately.
The seaside villa district is a well-known affluent residential area. Unlike the towering buildings in the city, the buildings there are relatively low-rise and are manor-style, all of which are highly sought after but difficult to sell.
She had gone there once a long time ago with her mentor.
Wasn't Xie Ning supposed to be an orphan? Could he be a hidden tycoon?
