When he was about to graduate from university, he found that the employment situation in his major was not very good, so he went to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

After graduating from graduate school, he thought about it and decided to pursue a doctorate.

In terms of academic achievement, he has surpassed most people. With his academic qualifications, it is not difficult for him to find a job. However, he knows that although he is talented in studying, he is not a genius.

During his doctoral studies, his performance was only average, at least, he had never considered developing in the academic world. Until that day, he met the man named Chen Xu through the introduction of his supervisor.

This man made a deep impression on him, not only because of the stunning woman next to him, but also because of the special temperament of the other person, which made him feel pressured.

When he heard the other party said that he would be in charge of a laboratory, he felt that he had met a liar. How could such a good thing fall from the sky in the world?

He said he would think about it, but in fact, he basically regarded the other party as a liar.

However, on the way back, he thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong. This matter was arranged by his tutor.

His mentor is also very famous in the industry. He has academic status, cooperates with many companies, and has a lot of money. There is no need to cheat his student.

Or was it that the tutor was also deceived?

He couldn't help himself and found an opportunity to ask. From his mentor, he learned that it was an executive of a large company in the industry who made the connection.

The tutor also asked him how the conversation was going, but he naturally wouldn't tell the truth and just said that he was still in contact.

How can we describe the relationship between him and his mentor? Rather than teacher and student, it is more like boss and employee. Naturally, there is no 100% trust.

After he got such an answer from his mentor, he thought a lot, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of getting rich overnight, so he called Chen Xu.

As long as you are careful, you won't be afraid of being cheated.

…………

Three days later, Cai Weiye signed an employment contract with very harsh conditions. All the results produced in the laboratory belonged to the laboratory. He also signed a confidentiality agreement, a non-compete clause, etc. He felt like he had signed a contract to sell himself.

There was no way he could refuse the annual salary offered by Chen Xu. If he were to look for a job on his own, he would never be able to reach this annual salary.

The reason why the contract was signed so quickly was that he knew this laboratory and had cooperated with his mentor's laboratory before, and he had visited it several times.

Just a few months ago, the head of this laboratory died unexpectedly. Unexpectedly, it fell into Chen Xu's hands. There are many equipments here. Conservative estimates show that these equipments alone are worth tens of millions.

He now knew that Chen Xu was not a liar, but a rich second-generation who was rich and willful. He could buy a laboratory worth tens of millions to play around. If he was not rich and willful, what else could he be? Before signing the contract, Chen Xu had already agreed that he would design the projects and the contents of the experiments, and Cai Weiye only needed to execute them.

The first project of the laboratory was lithium-air batteries. He had looked up information before and had some understanding of them. At present, there were only immature laboratory products and many problems had not been solved.

Theoretically, the energy density of lithium-air batteries is more than ten times that of lithium-ion batteries currently on the market.

If it can be done, it will be a killer weapon that can subvert the battery industry. Unfortunately, this concept has been proposed for decades, but there is still no mature product.

Cai Weiye had already inquired about it, and found out that his boss didn't even have a graduate degree. With such a background, he didn't think the laboratory could achieve anything.

Anyway, as long as the boss is happy.

The boss would come over every other day and usually stay for half a day to communicate with him.

Sometimes, he would go back to school and borrow equipment from the school to do experiments, but some large instruments were not available in the laboratory.

And just like that, a month passed.

Cai Weiye looked at the data in front of him, a little confused, and couldn't help asking the assistant next to him, "Are you sure these data are true?"

At present, the laboratory has only one project, and the experiments to be done are quite simple, which is to repeatedly charge and discharge the battery and then observe. He no longer does it himself, but leaves it to his assistants.

The assistants were a man and a woman. Although their eyes were bloodshot, their faces were red with excitement. "We are 100% sure. We will take turns watching. There will be no mistakes."

Cai Weiye couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said uncertainly, "In other words, we have solved the problem of suppressing the formation of lithium dendrites?"

"Yes." The two assistants looked at him with shining eyes. They were all graduate students who studied related majors, so they naturally understood the significance of solving the lithium dendrite problem. Being able to participate in it would leave a heavy mark in their resumes.

Cai Weiye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and rushed into the laboratory anxiously.

Seeing this, the two assistants hurriedly followed him and saw him personally doing the experiment...

…………

When he met Chen Xu again, Cai Weiye had a completely different impression of him. He felt that his boss was so mysterious. In his eyes, his image was so great that it surpassed that of his mentor.

After all, anyone who can solve a huge problem like lithium dendrites must be an extremely powerful person.

“Well done.”

Chen Xu looked through the experimental data, nodded, and said, "I'll leave the paper to you. If the data is not authoritative enough, I can arrange for you to go to a place with better equipment."

Cai Weiye nodded vigorously, "Okay." This achievement is so significant that the more authoritative the data, the easier it is to gain trust.

Then he added, "I will sign your name as the first author of the paper."

"No." Chen Xu shook his head and said, "Sign your name as the first one."

"ah?"

Cai Weiye was stunned. He could probably imagine how much of a sensation such a paper would cause in the industry. In fact, he did not make any contribution. This electrolyte was brought by Chen Xu, and the content of the experiment was also carried out according to Chen Xu's plan. He did not dare to take credit for this at all.

As a result, Chen Xu actually said that the first work was his? This was even more exaggerated than pie in the sky. He hadn't recovered until Chen Xu left.
