After the call ended, a series of measures were simultaneously announced.

No one was surprised by these.

After all,

the Mysterious Person's contribution was truly immense.

Calling him the benefactor of Da Xia Aviation would not be an exaggeration, and this kind of treatment was not surprising at all.

Zhang Yuli looked at Liu Zhixue: "Old Liu, can you contact that Mysterious Person now?"

Liu Zhixue shook his head: "He is unwilling to reveal any of his identity information. Currently, we can only contact him through the Xia Academy of Sciences' email system."

"This is going to be troublesome."

The directives and orders issued from above must be communicated to the person involved, right?

Zhang Yuli frowned, stood still and pondered for a moment: "You should send an email to that Mysterious Person again now."

"Yes, Dean, I'll contact him immediately!"

Just as Liu Zhixue took out the laptop he had been holding in his arms.

"By the way, did you take any confidentiality measures when you contacted him before?"

Zhang Yuli asked with some unease; nothing involving confidentiality was trivial, let alone such critical information that had already broken through the sky?

"Don't worry, I have re-encrypted and stored everything related to emails." Liu Zhixue said with a serious expression.

Even the laptop in his hand was a special communication device encrypted for military use.

"It's not enough. Whether it's the complete sealing of all information in the Xia Academy of Sciences' email system, or the computers previously used to receive emails, everything needs to be destroyed." Zhang Yuli's eyes were filled with gravity: "Whether in reality or on the network, we cannot leave any traces!"

"Including your call information, you must ensure that it is completely cleared every time, eliminating any risk of acquisition."

Hearing this, Liu Zhixue and Song Qinyi nodded solemnly.

Facing such important information, no matter how much they valued it, it was not an overstatement; no information could be leaked!

At this time, inside DUKE University.

It was past five in the afternoon.

Lu Ze, after two hours of slacking off in the materials science laboratory, returned to his dormitory.

His life had always been this simple: study, cafeteria, the laboratory where he routinely slacked off, and the dormitory.

He rarely participated in social activities and seldom showcased his so-called personal charm, which was why he had always been excluded from the DUKE University circle.

After all, in the Western world, you have to learn to toast to enter their threshold. Even Hawking would have to stand up and go to Luoli Island, let alone Lu Ze, an international student in a foreign land?

However, even if you obediently toasted, you could only be a sycophant on the periphery of other people's circles. Want to blend into their core circle? Dream on!

After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Ze pushed open the dormitory door.

Suddenly,

he noticed that the bed next to him, which had always been empty, surprisingly made a sound.

"Lu Ze, you're back so early?" someone asked.

He had dyed blonde hair, and his attire exuded a petty-bourgeois sentiment, with even an exquisite, sparkling brooch pinned to his chest.

If it weren't for his pure Chinese when he spoke, others might have thought he was a native-born Asian-American mixed-race person.

"Mm!" Lu Ze simply nodded in response, without saying much.

This strange-looking man was his roommate: Li Yijie.

He didn't have a very good impression of this person. After only seven or eight months of studying abroad, his entire lifestyle had completely turned Westernized.

He even started to think that eating with chopsticks was a 'bad habit'.

If he weren't trying to save on accommodation fees, he wouldn't want to share a dormitory with this person.

However, fortunately, Li Yijie frequently attended so-called 'social parties', and he might not even spend one day a month in this dormitory.

Lu Ze was happy to have the peace and quiet.

Suddenly,

"By the way, Lu Ze, you're about to enter your second year of graduate school. What are your plans after graduating with your master's?" Li Yijie said, seemingly nonchalantly, while polishing his shiny leather shoes.

"...What do you mean by that?" Lu Ze's eyes held confusion.

What else could he do if he didn't return to his country? Did this question even need to be asked?

"I mean, you're not still planning to return to your country after graduating with your master's, are you?" Li Yijie looked at Lu Ze, seemingly waiting for what he considered the most reasonable answer.

However,

hearing this, Lu Ze was immediately amused by Li Yijie's strange thought process: "Did you forget who I am?!"

"I'm a government-sponsored international student. What else can I do after graduating if I don't return to my country?"

As a government-sponsored international student, all his expenses for studying abroad, such as accommodation and living costs, were paid by Da Xia.

The monthly living allowance of over a thousand usd was more than the combined income of most working-class families in the country at that time!

Just the subsidized round-trip airfare alone was a salary that many white-collar workers couldn't earn in a year.

If he didn't return after graduation, would that be acceptable? Would he still be human?

"You're planning to return to your country?" Li Yijie's smile faded.

He continued with a shocked tone: "The opportunities here in America are so good. We are master's students in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at DUKE University. You can easily find a job in the Bay Area with a monthly salary of several thousand or even tens of thousands of usd, and higher-level engineers earn hundreds of thousands of usd annually!"

"How much salary can you get if you return to your country? Five thousand or ten thousand RMB? Whether it's the benefits or career prospects, America is so much better than back home. Are you crazy?"

He found Lu Ze's decision incredibly unbelievable.

At that time, Da Xia's GDP was barely over five trillion usd, even slightly lower than island nations like Japan, and its per capita GDP was less than one-tenth of America's.

What kind of development prospects could there be if he went back to Da Xia? How much money could he earn?

However,

"If you want to stay abroad, then stay!" Lu Ze glanced at him, continuing with disdain: "But I remember you also came here to study with Da Xia's subsidy, didn't you?"

"If you're willing to be a dog here, then please pay back all the money you received and compensate Da Xia for all its losses."

"As for me? I'm sorry, my bones are rather hard, and I simply cannot kneel."

After saying this, Lu Ze walked directly into the bathroom to wash up.

He was simply too lazy to waste any more breath talking to such an ungrateful person.

He went abroad as a government-sponsored student with Da Xia's subsidized funds, but after graduating, he wanted to stay here and refuse to return to fulfill his obligations?

Isn't everything on you paid for by Da Xia's subsidies? So you get to have all the good things, is that it?

Besides,

what does America's strength have to do with you? Do you really think a capitalist society doesn't devour people?
