89: Chapter 89 Accepting Punishment: Demoted to the Workshop, No Regrets!

"Professor Shen, could it be... could it be that he is the chief designer of the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber?"

Engineer Fang Yuan raised his head, looking at Professor Shen in astonishment.

"Hmph, what did you think!"

Professor Shen Hongcai gave a cold laugh.

"Not only that, the entire design plan for the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber was completed by Engineer Xu alone!"

"The mecha transported to Longdu last time was also designed independently by Engineer Xu."

"Besides that, Engineer Xu also has many other advanced scientific research products!"

"Engineer Xu is far stronger than you imagine!"

Professor Shen Hongcai said.

The reason he told Engineer Fang Yuan these things was to make him understand that there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the sky.

Engineer Fang Yuan had ability and technical skills, it was true, but he was too arrogant.

Professor Shen Hongcai did not want such a young and capable genius to pay a heavy price in the future because of his own personality.

He took this opportunity to dampen his arrogance.

"The design for the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber was actually designed by him alone?"

"And the surreal mecha was also developed by him?"

Engineer Fang Yuan was so shocked that he retreated again and again, his eyes wide, and even his breathing became much faster.

He had seen the mecha transported to the Dragon Academy of Sciences with his own eyes last time.

At that time, he had been completely shocked.

Someone in Dragon Country had actually independently developed such a sci-fi, futuristic product.

He had always wanted to know who it was, but due to the Dragon Country official requirements for confidentiality, he could not know.

Now, Professor Shen told him that all of these were developed by Xu Hao.

This made his heart tremble fiercely!

"So... I was truly this ignorant!!"

After the shock, the expression of Engineer Fang Yuan became dejected, having suffered a heavy blow.

He had always thought that Xu Hao had no skills and had risen through connections.

But reality had given him a harsh slap in the face.

Not only did he have skills, but he also possessed deep, cutting-edge scientific research technology.

He not only crushed him but also left most of the scientific researchers and Old Professors in Dragon Country far behind.

Even the Professor Shen in front of him did not compare to him.

"I was wrong! I am a fool, I am the big fool!"

On the face of Engineer Fang Yuan, the previous arrogance and the expression of disdain for everything were gone.

At this moment, he only had endless regret and shame.

He had actually scolded the chief designer of the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber to his face, saying he had no skills and was giving blind commands.

Thinking of this, Engineer Fang Yuan felt ridiculous.

He finally understood why Professor Shen had been so angry at the Research Institute and had kicked him out of the project team directly.

He also understood why everyone had such a big change in their view of Engineer Xu in just two days.

Because he really had the ability!

The face of Engineer Fang Yuan was bloodless; he stared blankly at Professor Shen.

"Professor Shen, I was wrong, I'm sorry!"

Engineer Fang Yuan said dejectedly, the edge on his body disappearing completely at this moment.

"You should apologize to Engineer Xu, not me!"

Professor Shen Hongcai shook his head and said.

"But I..."

Engineer Fang Yuan hesitated to speak.

He also knew that he should apologize to Xu Hao in person.

But now, he had been kicked out of the project team and had scolded him like that before.

Could Engineer Xu... forgive him?

"Sigh, it is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes." Professor Shen Hongcai shook his head and sighed helplessly. "Let's go, I will accompany you to see Engineer Xu."

"Engineer Xu is not a petty person. If your attitude is better, maybe he can forgive you!"

"Re... really?" Hearing Professor Shen Hongcai's words, Engineer Fang Yuan said pleasantly surprised, his eyes regaining some spirit.

Professor Shen Hongcai did not say much and walked straight towards the door.

Seeing this, Engineer Fang Yuan hurriedly followed.

Before long, Professor Shen Hongcai brought Engineer Fang Yuan to Xu Hao's office.

He knocked on the door and then walked in.

"Engineer Xu, are you busy?"

Professor Shen Hongcai asked with a smile, seeing Xu Hao buried in a notebook, writing something.

"Professor Shen? Why are you here?"

Seeing that it was Professor Shen, Xu Hao put down the pen in his hand and walked out from behind the desk.

Glancing over, he saw Engineer Fang Yuan standing behind Professor Shen.

Involuntarily, he frowned.

Seeing Xu Hao's expression, Engineer Fang Yuan felt nervous, his heart lifted.

"Sigh, forgive me for coming uninvited; today I am here to plead for this ill-mannered student."

Professor Shen Hongcai sighed, then his expression changed, and he let Engineer Fang Yuan walk closer.

Seeing this, Engineer Fang Yuan immediately walked respectfully to Xu Hao, his face pale, and bowed deeply to Xu Hao.

"Engineer Xu, this student was ignorant and did not know that Engineer Xu is a truly learned person who contributes to the country and devotes himself to scientific research. I actually insulted you to your face."

"This student knows he was wrong and hopes that Engineer Xu will not take it to heart. This student is willing to accept any punishment!"

Engineer Fang Yuan said with a sincere attitude.

With his head hanging, compared to a few days ago, it was like he had become a different person.

Xu Hao was slightly stunned, looking at Engineer Fang Yuan, then at Professor Shen.

He remembered that Engineer Fang Yuan was a very arrogant researcher at the Dragon Academy of Sciences.

When he was at the Research Institute, he not only looked down on the team members.

He also looked down on him, even saying to his face in front of many people that he had no skills.

After not seeing him for a few days, he had become so obedient?

Xu Hao thought for a while and immediately understood what was going on.

This was mostly because Professor Shen Hongcai had done some ideological work on him and told him some things about himself.

Xu Hao did not know Professor Shen Hongcai's intention, but he guessed it was because this student really had some ability, which was why a professor from the Dragon Academy of Sciences had personally come to plead for him.

However, Xu Hao also had a temper.

You scolded me to my face, and now you want to let it go with just an apology?

Hehe...

"Are you really willing to accept any punishment?"

Xu Hao said with a half-smile.

"Yes!" Engineer Fang Yuan said, a glimmer of hope igniting in his eyes.

"Then... how about being kicked out of the project team?"

Xu Hao looked at him and sneered.

Engineer Fang Yuan was suddenly shocked, his whole body trembling, "I... this..."

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he seemed to have made a big decision, his whole body losing strength, and he replied weakly:

"This student accepts!"

This answer actually surprised Xu Hao slightly.

He didn't expect this student to have such courage.

These researchers were most afraid of being suddenly kicked out of a project team.

The consequence of this was not only being unable to participate in subsequent research and development but also being ridiculed by other scientific researchers, becoming a laughingstock, and being called unskilled.

But Engineer Fang Yuan, after thinking for only a moment, made up his mind to accept this punishment.

Xu Hao held him in higher regard in his heart.

He thought slightly, wondering how to punish him.

Before long, his eyebrows raised: Got it!

"Xu's Heavy Industry and Tangs Heavy Industry currently have a deep cooperation, which is for the two companies to complement each other's technology and update and iterate machinery!"

"It just so happens that a batch of agricultural machinery is being upgraded recently. You will cooperate with relevant technical personnel to participate in the upgrade and transformation."

"After one week, I will see your performance. If you perform well, you can return to the Research Institute!"

After Xu Hao finished speaking, he returned to his desk.

Hearing this, Engineer Fang Yuan, who had no hope, was overjoyed.

Those dim eyes regained their vitality.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Engineer Fang Yuan nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely work hard to cooperate with them and carry out excellent upgrades on the agricultural machinery!"

Engineer Fang Yuan was overjoyed.

He didn't expect that Engineer Xu would let go of past grievances and give him another chance.

As long as he performed well, he could still enter the project team.

For this, Engineer Fang Yuan was extremely grateful to Xu Hao: "Thank you, Engineer Xu!"

Engineer Fang Yuan thanked him sincerely, and his impression of Xu Hao in his heart had undergone a earth-shaking change.
