63: Experts are going crazy for talent!
After the experts, representing their respective Research Institutes, stated their steel demands.
Old Man Wang suddenly leaned close to Li Mubai's ear and, with a voice that wasn't exactly a whisper, quietly extended an invitation:
"Mu Bai, I see you're young but incredibly knowledgeable."
"Have you ever considered serving the country?"
"Why don't you come to our Research Institute and give it a try?"
His action quickly drew the attention of the surrounding experts.
Especially after everyone heard Old Man Wang's words.
The previously quiet experts immediately began to buzz like a pot of boiling water.
"Damn it, Old Wang, that's not right! You're actually trying to poach him for your Research Institute, you're truly shameless!"
Another expert reprimanded.
Old Man Wang, listening to the reprimands, had an attitude of a dead pig not fearing boiling water:
"Face? What good is that for?"
"Can that thing bring glory to the Research Institute, or to the country?"
"This old man doesn't need such a burden."
"As for face, whoever wants it can have it, I certainly don't want it, as long as you don't try to snatch little brother Mu Bai from me!"
Saying that.
Old Man Wang gave Li Mubai a flirtatious look, a strange smile on his face.
This whole act almost made Li Mubai gag.
What was with that look?
He wasn't gay, nor did he have a preference for men!
He was—a real man!
He liked fair-skinned, beautiful women with long legs, big chests, and curvy waists.
"You don't want face anymore? Fine, then I don't either. Little brother Mu Bai, come to our Research Institute, this old man will definitely dote on you well."
An expert with only a few black hairs left on the sides of his head and a completely bald top, extended a sincere invitation to Li Mubai.
"Both of you are shameless? If that's the case, then I won't be either!"
This expert said, looking at Li Mubai with a kind and amiable expression:
"Little brother Mu Bai, come to our Research Institute! Our Research Institute may not have much else, but it has many beautiful women. If you come to our Research Institute, you'll definitely be happy every day!"
As soon as this expert finished speaking, he was immediately reprimanded by another expert:
"You shameless old geezer, you're even resorting to a honey trap!"
Saying that.
He also looked at Li Mubai, his tone gentle:
"Little friend Mu Bai, a true man should have great aspirations and achieve extraordinary feats. How can he be swayed by mere beauty? Our Research Institute has the most advanced scientific research equipment. As long as you come, I will apply for a separate laboratory for you. And… I have a young daughter, sixteen years old, beautiful, and not yet married. As long as you come, I am willing to be the matchmaker, building a bridge between you two, so that you…"
"Stop, stop, stop! Hold on!"
Old Man Xu, who couldn't listen anymore, quickly interrupted the expert.
He looked at the expert with a strange expression:
"Old Man Hu, sixteen years old, isn't that underage? That's illegal, how can you be so deranged?"
The surrounding experts also frowned.
This old man.
To keep Li Mubai in their Research Institute, he even used his own daughter!
Truly deranged!
"What's wrong with sixteen? My daughter is about to graduate from university. Love between a man and a woman is normal, and it's possible she genuinely likes little friend Mu Bai. If she doesn't, then I won't force it."
Old Man Hu had an indifferent attitude.
"You're truly incurable!"
Old Man Xu angrily turned his head away and stopped speaking.
"Please, seniors, don't argue anymore."
Looking at the fifty and sixty-year-old men arguing, red-faced, Li Mubai finally couldn't help but interrupt them.
These people were so enthusiastic just now that he couldn't get a word in.
Since he had already agreed to Zhao Zhenghua, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word and join another Research Institute.
What's more.
What Zhao Zhenghua could secure for him was what he wanted now.
He wanted the identity of a specially appointed staff member at the Research Institute, not to constantly stay in the Research Institute doing R&D.
Crucially, he didn't understand scientific research either.
His technology all came from system exchanges.
"Little friend Mu Bai, have you already decided which Research Institute to join?"
Old Man Wang's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Li Mubai shook his head, took two steps back, and broke free from the circle of experts.
Then he looked towards Zhao Zhenghua:
"Let Uncle Zhao tell you about this matter."
Zhao Zhenghua was already overjoyed.
He hadn't expected Li Mubai to be so popular.
One must know.
These sixty-year-old men standing in front of him were all experts in materials!
There were no people more formidable than this group of experts in the entire Rabbit Country.
And now.
This group of people was arguing fiercely, red-faced, all to get Li Mubai.
Even more so.
They even brought out their own daughters as bargaining chips.
This was truly crazy enough.
However…
Li Mubai had already agreed to join his Research Institute!
Zhao Zhenghua, feeling smug, took a step forward, faced the experts, and said with a smile:
"Seniors. I want to apologize first, and I hope you won't blame me."
Saying that.
He bowed to the experts.
This inexplicable behavior left the experts puzzled.
"Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
Old Man Wang couldn't help but look confused.
"Yes, what are you doing, why are you suddenly bowing?"
"When you do that, I always have a bad feeling!"
"Zhao, why are you apologizing?"
The other experts also looked perplexed.
Everyone couldn't quite understand Zhao Zhenghua's actions.
Why was he apologizing and bowing? Had he done something to offend them? There wasn't anything wrong?
Zhao Zhenghua straightened up, a look of triumphant satisfaction appearing on his face, his words filled with barely concealed excitement:
"Actually… Mu Bai has already agreed to join our Research Institute."
Upon hearing this.
The experts were all bewildered.
Old Man Wang looked even more disbelieving: "What? When did this happen?"
"Just now, while you were discussing the problem."
Zhao Zhenghua calmly replied.
Seeing the experts' reactions, he couldn't be happier.
"Little friend Mu Bai, is that true?"
Old Man Wang looked at Li Mubai, asking in disbelief.
The latter merely nodded slightly, confirming the fact.
"Alas~"
"Such a talent, already taken. We can't use him for our Research Institute, a miscalculation, truly a miscalculation!"
Old Man Wang sighed with regret.
The other experts also expressed their tiếc nuối.
Only Old Man Xu, at this moment, had a slight smile on his lips.
The moment the test was passed.
He had decided to invite Li Mubai to join the Research Institute.
He just hadn't expected others to act so quickly, leaving him no chance to speak.
Now, listening to Zhao Zhenghua's narration, he couldn't help but feel exhilarated.
It was truly—
To seek far and wide, only to find it effortlessly!
He couldn't help but give Zhao Zhenghua a thumbs up in his heart.
With the problem resolved.
Soon, the experts from various Research Institutes left.
Before leaving.
Everyone didn't forget to remind Li Mubai to expand the steel production line, and if possible, to directly establish machine tool processing for parts!
