Qin Lang caught up with Chu Molin and walked back to the office side by side with him.
Qin Lang was new, so he was assigned to share an office with Chu Molin.
“Molin, it’s been a while, have you been at the research institute all along?” As soon as he returned to the office, Qin Lang couldn’t help asking Chu Molin.
“Why did you transfer to S Province?” Chu Molin didn’t answer Qin Langs question right away.
“l just didn’t want to stay in the Imperial Capital anymore, so I came to experience the local life here.” Qin Lang said nonchalantly.
“Speak normally.” Did Chu Molin believe him? Not likely.
“In normal terms, my father drove me nuts with his insistence on arranging a marriage for me, so I requested a transfer.” Knowing Chu Molin’s temper, Qin Lang didn’t dare to joke any further.
“Your father could get you to request a transfer?” Chu Molin looked at him dubiously.
“Heh, of course not. I did it without telling him. Only my parents knew after the paperwork had come through. He can’t interfere anyway, he’s not my boss.
By the time my father found out, I had already left with the papers in my hand.” Qin Lang was not stupid enough to let others decide everything for him.
“You didn’t have to come to the research institute, though. As you’ve seen, conditions here are pretty tough.” Now that Qin Lang had come all the way to S Province, he could understand why Li Zhao had served and then retired here,
He could also understand that Xiao Qi, his partner, had set up shop here. But what was Qin Langs story?
“Molin, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t know you were here beforehand, so I didn’t come here for you.
In fact, it was after my transfer here that 1 learned that Chu Molin was also here. I thought it was a coincidence of names and surnames. Once we finally met, I was surprised it was you. We haven’t seen each other in so many years. Don’t you think it’s fate that we meet here?” Qin Lang said with a smirk.
“Fate, my foot. Just do your job well now that you’re here, and don’t let others know about my whereabouts. Got it?” Chu Molin couldn’t care less about whether it was fate or not – he just wanted to avoid trouble.
“Molin, you haven’t been home for so many years, did something happen?” Qin Lang and Chu Molin had gotten to know each other later, they hadn’t known each other before.
“Nothing happened. I just didn’t feel like going back, so I didn’t.” Chu Molin replied coldly to his college friend and classmate.
“Hmph, you’re still the same, nothing has changed.” Qin Lang looked at Chu Niolin and couldn’t comprehend.
“Change? Go work now, we can talk later.” Chu Molin didn’t want to squabble over meaningless topics.
“Alright, alright, you’re the boss. You call the shots.” Seeing that Chu Molin was getting a bit impatient, Qin Lang didn’t continue the chat. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway.
“Molin, honestly speaking, can you really achieve the goals in this plan? Aren’t you afraid they can’t handle it physically?” Qin Lang wasn’t doubting Chu Molin’s capabilities, otherwise he wouldn’t have just asked this one question in the meeting room earlier on.
“No, I want the elites among the elites. If they can’t achieve what I assign to them, there will be others who can. Those who can’t will be eliminated, those who can will replace them.
I want a survival of the fittest kind of situation. Only in this way will they realize there is always someone better. If they stop progressing, they will be surpassed. At that point, they can’t blame anyone but themselves. I am being responsible for their lives, understand?
Otherwise, if they encounter a situation like this one, there can be only one outcome – death. Which is something no one wants to see.
So, I’d rather they dislike me now than lose their lives later.” Chu Molin thought of how vital their work was, the enemies definitely wouldn’t show mercy.
After listening to him, Qin Lang nodded quietly: “l see, I’ll cooperate with your plan..”
