Chapter 1190 Anxious Qian Xuejun
The aroma of tea wafts through the quaint and elegant office.
A set of purple clay tea sets was placed on the coffee table. The tea in the pot was almost gone, with only a few stretched tea leaves lying at the bottom of the pot.
Qian Xuejun personally poured Lu Feng a last cup of hot tea. Seeing that the time was right, he opened the topic he had been planning for a long time:
"Mr. Lu, after taking a look around, what do you think of our Central Courtyard? Do you think it's up to your taste?"
He tried to make his tone sound like a casual chat between friends, but the anticipation deep in his eyes was difficult to completely conceal.
Lu Feng picked up the teacup and blew gently on it. The hot steam blurred his deep eyes.
Facing the question, his expression remained unchanged, his tone steady, and with just the right amount of praise:
"President Qian is too modest. The Central Academy is a national treasure, gathering the best wisdom in China and serving as the backbone of the nation's scientific and technological revival."
"Every brick and tile here, and every staff member who works so hard, are awe-inspiring."
"It is thanks to the existence of the Intermediate People's Court that our country has been able to continuously break through barriers in many high-tech fields, narrowing the gap with developed countries and even surpassing them. To be honest, I admire them deeply."
These words were flawless, affirming the status and contribution of the Intermediate Court while also placing himself in the position of an "admirer."
As Qian Xuejun listened, the smile on his face became even brighter, but he secretly said in his heart, "Little fox, you are so slippery."
However, seeing that Lu Feng was not fooled, he knew that he could not beat around the bush any longer and had to reveal his true intentions.
Then, the smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by a heavy expression that was a bit "worried" and "ashamed". He sighed deeply.
"Alas...Mr. Lu, you are flattering our Intermediate Court."
"Admiration? How can we be worthy of your admiration now?"
He shook his head, his tone full of emotion. "To be honest, when I look at the Intermediate Court, I sometimes feel that it's... a little behind the times and can't keep up with the times."
"Oh? Mr. Qian said that?" Lu Feng showed a slightly surprised expression, but he already knew in his heart that the highlight was coming.
Qian Xuejun leaned forward slightly, looking at Lu Feng with burning eyes, his tone becoming excited:
"That's true. Take, for example, Mr. Lu. During this period, you have successively produced nerve repair potions, cancer-killing potions, and other medical technologies from the distant Blue Star."
"And then there's the high-performance drone technology and new energy technology. These are world-shaking achievements, each one a breakthrough that can change the industry landscape and benefit all of humanity!"
He became increasingly "excited" as he spoke, even patting the coffee table lightly with his hand. "On the other hand, what about our Central Court? While there has been some progress, compared to yours, it's like a firefly compared to the bright moon!"
"Efficiency, conversion rate, innovation... every aspect is outshined!"
"It would be fine if we took those things out of the equation, but the key is that many people in the Intermediate Court are arrogant and look down on everyone, thinking that God is king and he is second only to God."
"To be honest, I'm sometimes so anxious I can't sleep. I feel like this old institution, the Intermediate Court, is really going to be eliminated by the times."
Lu Feng looked at the dean in front of him, who had superb acting skills and put himself in a "weak" and "backward" position. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless.
Is the Intermediate Court lagging behind? If even the Intermediate Court, which concentrates the country's top talents, has countless national key projects, and has an extremely profound foundation, is considered lagging behind, then there is probably no "advanced" scientific research institution on the blue planet.
This old fox has lost all his shame in order to achieve his goal, and he doesn't even show any mercy when it comes to self-deprecation.
However, since the other party has already said so much and has lowered his attitude so much, if he continues to play dumb, it would be too disrespectful to the big boss and it would be a waste of such a big show.
Lu Feng put down his teacup, his face showing just the right amount of "sympathy" and "understanding." He pondered for a moment, as if after a difficult ideological struggle, before slowly speaking:
"Mr. Qian, you're too kind. I have great admiration for the foundation and strength of the Intermediate Court."
"However... since Mr. Qian has such concerns, as a junior, I should also do my part."
He paused, looked at Qian Xuejun's eyes that lit up instantly, and continued:
"How about this. If the Intermediate Court doesn't mind, when I return from abroad, I can arrange a time to invite some experts and professors from the Intermediate Court in related fields to visit and exchange ideas with my research institute in Shanghai."
"Learn from each other and make progress together."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Xuejun was instantly ecstatic!
He laid so much groundwork and acted for so long, just waiting for this sentence!
The next second, he could hardly contain his excitement and suddenly leaned forward, his voice rising a few notes due to his eagerness:
"Really?! Mr. Lu, are you serious?! Are you really willing to let our people visit your institute and study?!"
That look was so hot that it could almost melt people.
Lu Feng was a little amused by his sudden excitement and could only nod affirmatively: "Of course it's true. Now that I've said it, I won't go back on my word."
"Great! Great!"
Qian Xuejun rubbed his hands excitedly and immediately began to think, "Then... Mr. Lu, when is convenient for you? I'm available anytime!"
"We can immediately organize a team of top experts and fly to the Magic City tomorrow... no, this afternoon!"
He acted impatient, as if he was afraid that Lu Feng would regret it the next second.
Lu Feng looked at the dean of the academy of sciences, who was usually dignified and calm, but at this moment was as excited as an old child who got a favorite toy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch again.
He really didn't expect that the research institute he set up on a whim would be so attractive to a big shot of Qian Xuejun's level.
"Mr. Qian, please don't worry. I need to go abroad to handle a very important matter soon, and I won't be back in the short term."
"How about this? When I get back from abroad, I'll contact you as soon as possible to arrange a visit. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the excited expression on Qian Xuejun's face froze instantly, as if he had been splashed with a basin of cold water, and a hint of obvious disappointment flashed in his eyes.
But he also understood that for someone like Lu Feng, going abroad must be for important matters and he couldn't be forced.
What's more, the other party has already promised him. If he pushes too hard, it might backfire.
"Oh...oh, going abroad is important. Going abroad is important. Then...then I will wait for Mr. Lu's good news. You must remember this!"
The tone was like that of a child who was afraid of being cheated by adults.
"Don't worry, Dean Qian, I won't forget."
Lu Feng nodded, then raised his wrist to check the time, stood up and said:
"Dean Qian, it's getting late. I have to go first. Let's talk about this when I come back..."
