581: Chapter 580 Want to join the China Talent Program? I've made the decision—give it the green light!

The sounds of indignation made the atmosphere at the scene heat up rapidly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange, Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan hurriedly changed the subject to prevent Xiang Guangming from having another "slip of the tongue after drinking."

"Mentor, let's not dwell on those unhappy things back home," Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan said, hurriedly raising his glass to Xiang Guangming. "Speaking of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I, your student, happen to have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and other Ivy League universities in North America have recently jointly recommended a group of elites from the North American scientific community."

"There are about 100 of them, most of whom are our old acquaintances. You basically know all of them."

"Now that our Huaxia academic development is going well, they all want to join our Huaxia Global Top Talent Sharing Program through your recommendation. This program is expected to start in two months..."

Before Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan could finish his sentence, Xiang Guangming, who was already dead drunk, waved his hand broadly. With a slurred tongue, he spoke loudly to everyone present.

"Everyone! I know that many of you want to go to Huaxia to develop, and you all want to join that so-called Global Top Talent Sharing Program!"

"But!" He changed the subject. "You all know how high the threshold for Huaxia is! Layer upon layer of reviews, all kinds of background checks, stricter than checking a household register! How many of you do you think can get in?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present showed awkward expressions.

"However!" Xiang Guangming patted his chest again, speaking with a face full of drunkenness.

"Today, I, Xiang Guangming, will put my words here! As long as you are a talent who genuinely wants to contribute to Science, regardless of your background or nationality, as long as you have real talent and learning, I, Xiang Guangming, will open the green light for you!"

"Those from Harvard, those from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it's all no problem! As long as your school provides a joint recommendation, I will personally write you a recommendation letter and provide a guarantee!"

"I want to see if my old face, Xiang Guangming, still has any influence back home!"

"Whoa—" As soon as Xiang Guangming said this, the entire banquet hall completely erupted. Opening the green light for them? Personally writing recommendation letters? This was simply a pie falling from the sky!

Many people present had come with a purpose. They were originally thinking about how to bring it up, but they didn't expect Xiang Guangming to loosen the restrictions himself.

In an instant, everyone crowded around. A glint of light flashed in Professor Disser's eyes, and he was the first to step forward, gripping Xiang Guangming's hand tightly.

"Academician Xiang, your magnanimity earns my admiration! On behalf of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I thank you for your generosity!"

Other guests with similar ideas also put forward their requests one after another, and Xiang Guangming agreed to all of them, looking heroic as if to say, "As long as you are willing to ask me, I will help you all."

"Respected Academician Xiang, to thank you! Our Republic of Texas consortium is willing to contribute to your scientific cause. We will provide 1 billion Eagle Dollars to support your newly established scientific organization, the Frontiers of Science!"

"Academician Xiang, our Republic of California will also contribute..."

"Respected Academician Xiang, when do you plan to establish your Frontiers of Science organization? I'll be the first to join!..."

Various sounds of goodwill rose and fell. Xiang Guangming's attitude made everyone feel a burst of surprise.

They discovered that this Academician Xiang was indeed as close to the West as ever, and he really wanted to build a team of his own here in North America.

The atmosphere of the banquet reached its true peak at this moment.

Watching his mentor surrounded by the crowd in the center, like a savior, Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan felt very uncomfortable.

He felt that his mentor had drunk too much today and that his words were too impulsive; if this were to reach back home, he feared it would cause an even greater uproar. But what could he do? He was only a Special Commissioner, and he couldn't speak up in front of the high-level officials back home.
