I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

Chapter 735 This is our decision!

They can find all sorts of excuses to go; after all, Earth 2 is now under their control, and there's nothing Old Li and the others can do about it.

After gaining everyone's consent, Su Chen contacted Elder Li again, conveyed everyone's opinions, and provided very sufficient reasons.

Old Li smiled and let it go, his eyes shining with wisdom.

He knew perfectly well why this group of people would refuse.

He also knew what the outcome would be.

Even before contacting Su Chen, he had already guessed how things would end.

Old Li disappeared from the screen.

All eyes were on Su Chen.

Everyone watched him quietly, waiting for him to say something encouraging or reassuring.

However, Su Chen simply smiled at them, seemingly unconcerned.

"Alright, everyone go about your own business."

The seemingly casual action gave everyone a great deal of confidence.

At that moment, they felt that as long as Su Chen was there, nothing was a problem.

Even the greatest difficulties can be overcome.

They were just on tenterhooks because they could tell from Old Li's words that he was also facing a lot of trouble, his position might be in jeopardy, and there was a high possibility of major changes at the top.

If such a change occurs, Earth 2 and its fate will be in question.

Everyone was very worried, but seeing Su Chen so calm, they calmed down as well.

Wang Jianfeng didn't say anything more.

He knew that Su Chen was calm at the moment, but perhaps very agitated inside, so he gently patted Su Chen on the shoulder to offer him support, and then quietly left.

Zhou Quanmiao and Professor Wang didn't say anything. They nodded to Su Chen and quickly walked away.

Only Tang Yumo stayed with Su Chen.

He also realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

However, he still wanted to stay by Su Chen's side. Even though Su Chen might not need him, he hoped that someone would be there for Su Chen when he encountered trouble.

Even if you can't offer help, you can at least serve him tea or water.

The two arrived at the office, and Su Chen continued to flip through the books.

Tang Yumo poured him a glass of water and sat quietly on the sofa next to him without saying a word.

Normally, he would have made a huge fuss, but today he was very calm, occasionally stealing a glance at Su Chen.

Seeing that Su Chen didn't seem to react, he stopped talking.

Feeling bored sitting on the sofa, he picked up a book from Su Chen's bookshelf and started reading.

However, the book he was reading was a magazine.

After looking at it for a while, he put the book back on the table in a state of frustration. When he looked at Su Chen again, he noticed that Su Chen had put down the book and was now leisurely sipping the water that he had just poured.

The crisp sound of the glass being set down echoed throughout the room.

Su Chen smiled and glanced at Tang Yumo: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine now."

Tang Yumo blinked. "Aren't you worried at all?"

There might be some unforeseen circumstances on Elder Li's side, which would also affect us.

Su Chen stared intently ahead with deep eyes.

Although there was a door separating them, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the door, the walls, the jungles and mountains, and look into the farthest reaches of the world.

The room was eerily quiet. Tang Yumo didn't dare to say a word and silently watched Su Chen.

After a long while, Su Chen said slowly, "My worry is useless."

"There's nothing I can change, all we can do is wait."

Tang Yumo asked, "What if Elder Li's position is replaced by someone else, and that person targets us and tries to recall us all back to Earth? What should we do then?"

Su Chen loosened his shoulders, revealing a faint hint of confidence.

"Even if the person is replaced, no one will let us go back. You can rest assured about that."

"The most we can do here is oversee the incentives, but once we go back, it won't just be the base that's under our control anymore."

“Those people are smarter than you think; they won’t keep threats close at hand.”

Tang Yumo became even more worried.

"They won't let you go back, but we're insignificant. What would we do if they let us go back?"

Su Chen smiled and looked towards the door again.

He did not answer Tang Yumo's question because it was extremely stupid.

As long as I'm still here, who can touch them?

Tang Yumo quickly understood and pinched her cheek.

"Even so, I still feel very wronged."

"We have made so many contributions to the earth, yet they keep causing us trouble."

Su Chen didn't care at all and said with a smile, "We also have a lot of trouble here."

"As long as there are people, there will naturally be troubles, big and small."

"The more people there are, the more trouble there will be."

"You need to be open-minded about this kind of thing, and you need to understand that you will encounter trouble no matter where you are."

"Even you yourself may encounter some troubles in life."

"What you need to do is solve these problems, not complain about them."

Tang Yumo pursed her lips and said bluntly, "Stop talking nonsense to me. Everyone knows this, right?"

"I'm not complaining. Aren't I asking you what to do? Tell me what to do?"

Su Chen shook his head helplessly and said four words: "Let's wait and see."

He had no other options besides this one.

The following days were peaceful, and Old Li did not contact Su Chen again.

Everyone continued with their work, and all was well.

On this day, Old Li contacted Su Chen again.

Old Li's eyes were a little red, clearly from staying up late, and he looked tired.

Seeing Old Li like this, Su Chen felt sorry for him and told him to get more rest.

Old Li said with a smile, "I'm used to it. Now I have some not-so-good news to tell you."

"Your position has changed," Su Chen asked him immediately.

When Old Li nodded, Su Chen's feelings were also very complicated.

He had anticipated this day.

I never expected this day to come so soon.

Seeing Su Chen remain silent, Old Li continued, "However, there is also good news: the person who replaced me isn't so bad after all."

"He is an honest and upright person. He may disagree with you on some things, but he will never deliberately make things difficult for you."

Su Chen nodded without saying anything.

He asked Mr. Li what position he was going to.
Although Li Lao's position has changed, it has only been downgraded by one level. His position is still very high, and he has a very strong voice.

Old Li coughed and continued, "I wanted to see you today so you could meet the newly appointed leader. Please also call Wang Jianfeng and the others over later. Let them meet and discuss the issues you were researching." Su Chen nodded and sent someone to inform Wang Jianfeng and the others to come over.

After everyone arrived, they first greeted Old Li.

Mr. Li then briefly explained to everyone the changes in his position.

Everyone's expression instantly turned grim.

Following that, Li Le said he wanted them to meet the current leaders.

The expressions on everyone's faces were even more grim than before.

With Mr. Li's comforting words, everyone's expressions improved.

Especially when this leader appeared in front of everyone, everyone's expressions immediately became very enthusiastic, as if they really liked this leader.

In reality, they didn't like it.

Everyone calls this leader Old Zhang.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Old Zhang said quite frankly, "Some unpleasant things happened recently, and I hope everyone can understand."

"After all, we have a lot to do."

"The base is very important, Earth 2 is very important, Su Chen is very important, but many things on Earth are also very important. We have to consider all aspects."

"Although the planet needs to develop, Earth cannot lag behind; it also needs to develop."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that the Earth is currently facing a severe energy shortage, so your research needs to be put on hold for a while."

"At the very least, mass production is unlikely, and I hope you can understand."

No one dared to say they were unwilling, nor did they dare to object; they could only offer kind words and say they understood.

Changing the subject, Old Zhang looked at Su Chen, who had remained silent.

"Su Chen, you are a hero of Earth, one of the greatest people in human history, and there are still many things that need to be accomplished by you in the future."

"I also hope you can put aside past grievances and we can discuss anything together."

“I don’t have a very good personality. I won’t change my decisions because of you. If you can convince me or get others to agree, then I will respect your and everyone else’s choices.”

"In short, I will not give face to anyone."

"Everything we do must be based on the interests of all humanity."

His words were very well said, and no one could find fault with them, both in terms of reason and logic.

Don't be fooled by Su Chen's usual friendly banter with Wang Jianfeng and the others; in situations like this, he can come up with a whole set of witty remarks.

It's watertight, and sounds very impressive.

An ordinary person could sense that his words contained a lot of empty rhetoric and grandstanding.

But then again, you can't find anything wrong with it.

Wang Jianfeng and the others secretly chuckled as they watched Su Chen and Old Zhang spouting high-sounding words.

It's rare to see Su Chen talk to people in this way.

At this moment, they could feel that Su Chen was just like a person in a high position, a true leader, the kind of leader that many people see.

We chatted for about ten minutes.

Old Zhang then turned to Old Li and said, "Alright, you two should have more in common. You chat with them more, I'll be going now."

After seeing Mr. Zhang off, Mr. Li returned to the liaison room and asked everyone what they thought of Mr. Zhang.

In front of Mr. Li, no one dared to express their true opinions.

You all praised Old Zhang, one after another.

Seeing that everyone was saying one thing but meaning another, Old Li laughed heartily.

“I know what you’re thinking, but Old Zhang is a very good person. You’ll understand once you get to know him better.”

“In some ways I am not as good as him, and I personally think that he might be better at managing these things than I am.”

"If there's nothing else, you can go and do your work."

The group looked at each other; in fact, everyone had many questions they wanted to ask.

But they were too embarrassed to ask.

Some questions are not questions they should be asking.

Everyone involuntarily turned their gaze to Su Chen, as if waiting for him to say something.

Su Chen thought for a moment, then, finding nothing more to say, bid farewell to Old Li.

The video went dark, but Su Chen and the others did not leave; instead, they fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Wang Jianfeng spoke first.

"What should we do next? Now that there's a new leader, everything has changed."

"We should make some preparations in advance."

Everyone looked at Su Chen again, and seeing that Su Chen did not speak, the others began to express their opinions.

They are now core members of Earth 2, all on the same side, so they don't hold back when speaking.

Professor Wang pondered for a moment and then sighed.

“I feel that Old Zhang has a bad temper, but he is a fairly upright person and there shouldn’t be any problems communicating with him. He shouldn’t cause us any major trouble.”

"Besides, Old Li wasn't dismissed; he'll still help us."

"What I'm thinking now is, should we give Old Zhang some face and agree to let Earth send someone to Earth 2 to ease the tense atmosphere we've been in before?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Yumo immediately snorted and firmly disagreed.

"No."

"Let's put aside what kind of person this old man Zhang is and focus on the matter itself. They are clearly the ones bullying people online, so how can we back down?"

“If we back down, they might become even more aggressive, so we absolutely cannot agree.”

"Not only do we disagree with this matter, but we should also seriously consider their future affairs and disagree with them whenever possible."

The others chose to remain silent.

They weren't as impulsive as Tang Yumo.

Especially now that Su Chen's attitude is unclear, they want to see what his stance is.

Su Chen smiled as he looked at the very angry Tang Yumo, and couldn't help but shake his head. This girl has a stubborn temper.

Old Zhang and Old Li made it very clear to them that some things cannot be decided by one person alone.

With so many people making decisions, every single thing requires a meeting.

A meeting needs to make a decision, which requires dozens or even hundreds of people to vote on it.

Their obstruction was actually very strong, and even if they wanted to help, they were powerless to do so.

But Tang Yumo's mind was filled with thoughts of the grievances she had suffered.

You can't blame him, because he really did suffer injustice. You can't expect someone to compromise after suffering injustice.

Su Chen looked around at everyone and asked the others for their opinions, letting them speak their minds.

"Let's talk. Just say what's on your mind."

Encouraged by Su Chen's words, everyone began to speak one after another.

Their ideas differed, but none of them were particularly radical.
