Chapter 740 - 368: His Low Profile Is Just His Character!

Ji City has turned hot, the night breeze is sultry, and the cicadas are restless.

In the private room, there hangs an old-fashioned wall-mounted air conditioner, its wind deflector slightly loose, making a clattering sound as the cold air blows.

Although the air conditioner is old, its cooling effect is surprisingly good, the cool air drifting like smoke, slowly falling and dissolving into invisibility.

There isn't any hint of June's heat in the room, it even feels a bit cold.

The atmosphere at the scene has also turned somewhat silent.

Qin Kong and the others glanced at each other, as if they had suddenly turned into clever foxes ready to play some ghostly magic tricks.

Dai Linfang found it difficult to mind these old foxes' thoughts now, his own thoughts turning for quite a while before he suddenly realized.

"No wonder Professor Lu and the others have high hopes for you."

"It's only been a few days, right?"

"You superficially agreed effortlessly, but in truth, you took others' words to heart, didn't you?" Dai Linfang was just asking Lu Cheng a question.

Completely disregarding the presence of others at the moment.

What Dai Linfang said, Qin Kong and the others couldn't understand, nor did they try to.

Lu Cheng smiled and held Mu Nanshu's hand: "Didn't you always say I'm a grudging person?"

"One must have a good memory to hold grudges."

"With a good memory, grudges and favors come naturally."

"Don't change the subject, today's theme is to welcome the arrival of several professors."

"Professor Qin and the others are very busy, they'll have to leave after eating..."

Qin Kong immediately seized the opportunity to speak: "Why leave after eating? Who said they'd leave?"

"Before I came, I took yearly leave."

Qin Kong first blocked off any excuses.

You all couldn't have taken yearly leave, could you?

Wang Luhua said: "I'm just visiting a relative along the way, in Heng City, Xiang Province, not far."

Actually, Wang Luhua was making up a place, a classmate of his works in Heng City, and he doesn't even know how far Heng City is from Xiangzhou, as long as it's within the same province, it's fine.

At this moment Du Doyao patted his chest: "Hey, this is my 'son'."

And then glanced at Dai Linfang!

Dai Linfang looked over suspiciously, just about to argue when Du Doyao glanced at him: "What are you looking at? Huang Gengwen has to call me big brother respectfully when he sees me."

Upon hearing Du Doyao mention his mentor, Dai Linfang didn't refute.

He only thought inwardly, you'd better be truthful, or I'll show you what happens when you're just boasting.

You could say I'm your nephew, but saying I'm your son???

That's not a joke you can make lightly.

So, only Professor Zhou Yuansheng from Kyoto remained silent at the scene.

The others, more or less, made random excuses.

Professor Zhou Yuansheng, tall and thin, lightly raised his chin: "I actually bought a ticket to go back."

Professor Zhou didn't want to find any silly excuses, he stood up and walked toward the glass of wine Dai Linfang had moved earlier: "Director Lu, since the wine's opened, let's not waste it!"

"They came in a civilized manner, let's do it in a martial way."

"All in the wine."

Qin Kong didn't want to put the old comrades on the spot, and said: "Director Zhou, if you don't want to leave, then don't risk getting hopelessly drunk."

"This matter, the four of us need to deliberate seriously, it's not a small issue."

"Who's going to take the lead on this?"

"I say, Lu Cheng is from our Union Hospital."

Qin Kong knew, if Lu Cheng and he discussed it privately, he could keep things to himself, getting all the benefits.

Now that Lu Cheng raised it, the benefits are shared with all listeners.

No one dared to refute Qin Kong's words, they weren't from HR, though they also wanted to take Lu Cheng.

But the fact that Lu Cheng hadn't been taken yet, said it all.

Zhou Yuansheng and the others didn't have anything else to say.

Seeing this, Qin Kong was pleased: "So it's decided then, thanks to the old brothers for being accommodating."

Hearing this, Dai Linfang turned around: "Professor Qin, please wait."

Qin Kong looked at Dai Linfang: "Dr. Dai, go ahead."

Dai Linfang's eyelids fluttered: "Our project team has someone in charge of the matter, why are you interfering randomly here to take responsibility?"

Qin Kong's face turned slightly grim, even a bit angry: "What are you saying?"

Dai Linfang's words were outright sharp and unkind.

The nature of things was entirely different.

At this point, Lu Cheng spoke in a normal tone: "Professor Qin, if this equipment really needs to be made, we can make it ourselves."

As the project leader, Lu Cheng had to be firm.

"You?"

"Do you realize what you're saying? This isn't a time for youthful arrogance." Qin Kong's gaze tightened.

Lu Cheng nodded, his expression smiling: "I understand, Professor Qin."

"I've gone through it."

Qin Kong's pupils shrank: "Didn't you say you don't have time?"

Lu Cheng said: "If I said I'm completely out of time, then Professor Qin, you could handle it yourself."

"Anyway, I've suggested the direction to you."

Originally, Lu Cheng was out of time, but due to the professors pressing for follow-up, it gave Lu Cheng some time.

A joke!

Instruments and equipment are the physical translation of theory, and that's transferable into money.

Proper and legitimate earning, would you say I, Lu Cheng, would give it up?

Are you treating me as a treasure to fool with?

Qin Kong wasn't particularly angry, with Lu Cheng making such a proposal, everyone was just an employee.

He naturally felt a bit let down for not becoming the newly willing boss, but even without being the boss, the left-over parts were sufficient for him to lead a team and be well-fed.
