210: Chapter 211 Old Zhao, you have a really good eye for people!
Elder Qin gazed at the data on the screen, completely enthralled, muttering to himself incessantly.
At times he would have a sudden realization, and at other times he would clap his hands in admiration. His entire being radiated an astonishing vitality, as if he had grown twenty years younger.
Although General Li Zhenguo could not understand those profound technical terms and chemical symbols, he could clearly feel the immense value of this data from Elder Qin's uncontrollable excitement and tone!
At this moment, his eyes were also filled with shock and joy.
It was as if he could already see that after adopting this new material, the motherland's war eagles would become even more agile.
The warships would become even more formidable.
The spacecraft would become even more advanced.
This was a tangible, heart-stirring boost to national power!
"Good! Excellent!" General Li Zhenguo slammed his hand heavily on the table, a rare smile appearing on his face. "Heaven bless the Dragon Kingdom! This is a timely help, and even better, a glorious enhancement!"
"Old Qin, you have made a great contribution! Everyone involved in this matter must be heavily rewarded!"
Director Qin Weiguo recovered slightly from his intoxication and quickly waved his hand. "Chief, we dare not claim credit. This contribution... the vast majority, or even one could say all of it, belongs to one person!"
"Oh? Right, I remember you mentioning it. Is it that Jiang Jing from Xingchen Technology?" General Li Zhenguo recalled, raising an eyebrow.
"Is it that boss of the company that sells the beauty serum, which is selling like hotcakes and being snatched up by young people?"
"It is indeed him!" Elder Qin's expression became extremely complex, filled with admiration, helplessness, and the excitement of discovering a treasure.
"Chief, you didn't see him at the time... He just casually fished it out of his pocket and said nonchalantly, 'I just did it on the side' and 'to save money'... I nearly passed out from shock!"
"But the facts prove that what he brought out is something that can truly change the nation's destiny!"
Elder Qin became more and more excited as he spoke. "Commander, just think, a beauty serum with heaven-defying effects might be considered a niche product, but you should have some concept of the difficulty in researching this Super Material that is fifty years ahead of the world!"
"This requires such a profound theoretical foundation and genius creative thinking! Yet Jiang Jing, one person, supposedly only used less than three days! What kind of concept is this? This isn't a genius; this is a monster!"
He took a step closer, his tone incomparably serious. "Chief, for such talent to stay in business selling beauty serum is simply a waste of natural gifts! It is a huge waste of national scientific research resources!"
"We must find a way to invite him over. Even if he doesn't want to stay in the Laboratory every day, we must make him involved with the nation's core projects. His brain is an inexhaustible treasure!"
General Li Zhenguo listened to Elder Qin's words, and his expression also became serious.
He had previously only focused on the item itself. Now, after hearing what Elder Qin said, he truly realized the terrifying value of Jiang Jing as a person.
"Three days... independently completed... fifty years ahead..." General Li Zhenguo muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with sharp light. "Selling beauty serum is indeed a waste of talent... a huge waste!"
He looked at Director Qin Weiguo and said in a deep voice, "Old Qin, I understand what you mean."
"In that case, organize the personnel now. Start production verification overnight in the base's Laboratory. I want to see the physical samples and the exact performance report as quickly as possible!"
"Yes! I'll go right away!" Director Qin Weiguo immediately accepted the order. He couldn't wait to turn the data on paper into reality with his own hands.
"As for the matter of Jiang Jing..." General Li Zhenguo pondered for a moment. "I will report to my superiors immediately."
"If the data he provided is accurate and error-free, then he will receive a huge credit. We will discuss the specifics once the experimental samples are produced."
"I understand!" Director Qin Weiguo nodded.
Elder Qin clutched the laptop and hurried toward the top-secret Laboratory deep within the base, as if escorted by special personnel.
On the other side, after the gate of the Research Institute slowly closed, the cool night air rushed into his lungs, and Jiang Jing lazily stretched.
Beside him, District Mayor Zhao Wenhao was far from being this relaxed; he let out a long sigh.
Tonight, he had witnessed a historic moment; something that surpassed world standards had appeared right under his nose.
He looked at Jiang Jing, who was acting like nothing had happened, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I say, Jiang Jing, you kid... are truly the most outrageous person I've ever met. Such a huge matter, how can you act like you just went out for a stroll?"
Jiang Jing glanced at him and yawned. "Otherwise what? Should I beat drums and gongs to tell the whole world that I, Jiang Jing, have made another contribution? Boring."
District Mayor Zhao Wenhao was choked up for a moment and said irritably, "Fine, fine, fine, you're awesome! Let's go, to celebrate, I'll treat you to a good meal!"
"Pick any place. Any restaurant in the Magic City, if you want to eat there, I'll call and book a table right now!"
He tried to express his inner excitement and gratitude with a luxurious feast. After all, this matter was definitely a massive political achievement and a favor for him.
Who knew that Jiang Jing would simply roll his eyes at him in disdain. "Forget it, high-end hotels are suffocatingly stiff. You have to put on airs just to eat a meal; it's no fun."
"Besides," he said, a playful smile curling the corner of his mouth, "I have a date with a beauty. A moment of a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold; who wants to eat with a rough guy like you? Go play by yourself."
After saying this, he made a move to leave.
District Mayor Zhao Wenhao was speechless and grabbed him. "Damn it! Jiang Jing, you're going too far! You can't be so obvious about prioritizing romance over friends, right? I've been running around for this matter of yours, worrying and scared, and you, on the other hand, go looking for women as soon as it's finished?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing was not ashamed at all. Instead, he nodded very calmly, patted District Mayor Zhao Wenhao's shoulder, and said solemnly:
"Old Zhao, your judgment of people is truly spot on! I am indeed someone who prioritizes romance over friends. This is one of my life mottos. Understand it; after all, a beauty is much better looking than your old face."
"You..." District Mayor Zhao Wenhao was completely defeated by this shameless yet frank statement. He pointed at Jiang Jing, unable to speak for a long time. In the end, he could only curse with a wry smile, "You damn... you are truly a talent!"
