Chapter Summary
We've been so busy with academic research that we don't know anything about what's going on outside. You guys only know about scientific research and have no idea what's really happened outside. Don't think Liu Ning didn't know what they were thinking; this place was just a stepping stone for them, and they could leave at any time.
"Isn't this Councilor Liu? My goodness, how come we didn't know? I was just passing by. If I hadn't seen you, I probably wouldn't have known you were here. I'm so sorry, why didn't my subordinates inform me? We've been so busy with academic research that we don't know anything about what's going on outside. What are you all standing there for? Don't you recognize Councilor Liu? Councilor Liu is one of the best among our younger generation, no exaggeration to say he's the strongest right now. Everyone from top to bottom has confirmed this. It's not like I'm saying it myself. You guys only know about scientific research and have no idea what's really happened outside. It's a real world change."
The person speaking was Dean Fang, the person in charge here. However, he wasn't a researcher. In fact, this kind of thing often happens in Beijing. Even if you're not a researcher, you can still become the dean here. This guy used to be a secretary for some big shot. After that big shot retired, he was assigned here. Although this place isn't a powerful institution, it's a place where you can meet some high-ranking people, and many people use it to gather information. So, this position is quite sought after. Being assigned here shows that the person behind him is very powerful. Many people have spent money but still can't get in. This guy can do it with just a word. You can imagine how powerful that person is.
When Liu Ning looked at the notice board earlier, he knew what this guy did, so he didn't bother to say much to him. Clearly, this kind of person wasn't there to do research, and Liu Ning didn't have a good impression of them. They were just there to make a name for themselves, and once they'd done well, they'd leave immediately. Don't think Liu Ning didn't know what they were thinking; this place was just a stepping stone for them, and they could leave at any time. For them, staying here long was a waste of their lives, so these guys stayed very short. Liu Ning wasn't enthusiastic about these scheming individuals; they didn't deserve to stay here, that was for sure.
Seeing that Liu Ning ignored him, Dean Fang was quite frustrated. He had originally thought he could build a good relationship with Liu Ning. The reason others didn't know who Liu Ning was was because they were all engaged in scientific research and contributing to humanity. So, no matter what level Liu Ning had reached, it didn't matter to them. They simply didn't know who Liu Ning was. After nodding to Liu Ning, they immediately left, which was a sign of respect for those high-ranking officials. Liu Ning admired these people quite a bit. Since they were doing scientific research, they had to have the attitude of doing scientific research. What was the point of them trying to curry favor like this?
“I understand. Councilor Liu must be here to see Xiao Su. Xiao Su is one of our ace researchers. The things he researches are extremely useful to all of humanity. Countless important figures are paying attention to this. If the laser cannon can be reformed well, it will be a great benefit to all of humanity. Many places have already started this work, but unfortunately, we haven't done it well yet. If we can make good progress in this work, we will receive a lot of funding from above. The existing laser cannons are very outdated. If we can really reform them, then our place will be in a good position. It's just that the higher-ups may not be able to allocate funds for this project.”
No one else knew who Liu Ning was, but this guy was already there to join in the fun. He knew exactly what was going on; if he could get on Liu Ning's good side, he might be able to leave with just a word. But then again, things weren't always that simple. How could he be sure Liu Ning would let him leave? So, he was a little nervous, watching Liu Ning's expression as he spoke. At first, Liu Ning listened for a bit, but after a while, he stopped talking altogether and sat down on a chair. Only Liu Ning would dare to act like that towards the dean in public; no one else would have the guts.
"You must be Dean Fang. I saw your name earlier. There are some things I must remind you of. I don't care how you did things in the past, but I hope you can be more careful in the future. I'm not from your research institute, and I'm not interested in such research results. If you tell others about this again, it could escalate into a big deal. You should know that everything here is confidential. If these things are leaked, it won't benefit anyone. That's the situation now. So please don't talk about this with strangers in the future. If the news leaks, it won't do you any good. I hope you'll keep that in mind. I won't say it a second time."
Dean Fang originally came here to flatter Liu Ning, but unexpectedly, he'd backfired. Liu Ning had already shown serious dissatisfaction. This guy hadn't noticed earlier and continued speaking his own way. Now, look what happened—Liu Ning completely disregarded his words, and Liu Ning was very unhappy. This was the kind of thing Dean Fang had done. If things continued like this, it wouldn't benefit anyone. Because of this, everyone felt quite bored, and many people felt uncomfortable in this situation. Dean Fang, however, was thick-skinned and didn't feel this way at all; he thought this was normal.
