Chapter 618 I am a professional

Moreover, this matter has already spread like wildfire online, with many countries coming to join in the fun and laugh at it. In particular, the comments from netizens are making people feel suffocated.

“I bear unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and I am willing to bear the consequences. I will submit my resignation tomorrow. No matter what, I accept it. If it requires me to go to jail, or even pay the price with my life, I am willing. After all, I have indeed brought shame to the country.”

At this point, the scientist appeared to be in great distress, and he left the small white building immediately.

Back in his lab, he immediately began packing. The scientists around him, especially the one who had suggested adding certain elements, were quite annoyed by this.

"Actually, the person who should really take responsibility is me. I'm the one who let you use that thing, so how can I let you take the blame in the end?"

The scientist looked extremely distressed. He had only intended to do something good, but it had turned into a disaster, and he still couldn't get over it.

Just then, the chief scientist glanced at him.

“You’re still a young kid, and I’m already this old. Can’t I take responsibility? Just do what you think is right and don’t worry about useless things. This might be a lesson for you. I believe that after this is over, you’ll understand what to do.”

Sure enough, at that moment, the official website of the national laboratory released a message: the chief scientist had submitted his resignation to the leadership.

American netizens immediately went wild.

"My goodness! This is the last responsible scientist in our country. How can he leave us because of such a small matter? Although he made a fool of himself, his air purifier was still groundbreaking. It was just a bit of an overreaction."

"We absolutely cannot let him leave! If he leaves, who will take responsibility? Is he going to run away to China?"

"I don't know, but our country is truly finished now. The last person is like this, what are we going to do?"

……

It's fair to say that everything we've experienced is slowly coming to light. What these people are saying actually makes sense, but they've overlooked one crucial point: current leaders simply don't consider all this.

Lin Chen immediately sensed an excellent opportunity: if he could recruit this scientist to his side now, it would be extremely advantageous.

"Find a way to contact this person; we must get in touch with him as soon as possible. Get moving on Sunday, and hurry!"

I had made preparations by Sunday and started looking for contact information as soon as possible.

"Master, you're still a step too late. Actually, I've already done the data analysis; here's his address and contact information. Perhaps you really need to go abroad, after all, this person is quite depressed right now. In any case, you must solve the problem yourself, understand?"

This is indeed a good idea.

Lin Chen immediately began to formulate a plan. He knew that, up to this point, no one else besides himself would react further to this matter. This might be the most powerful opportunity available. He also understood that, given this outcome, he would have to exert even greater effort to have any chance of resolving the problem.

"That's right, no matter what, we have to hurry now. That's what I mean."

Although the truth of the matter is still unclear, the scientist is well aware that remaining in place would have very serious consequences. They also don't want to see that happen. It's fair to say he's currently very frustrated.

Lin Chen immediately made all the preparations. In any case, he had to get to the location late at night.

He immediately boarded Unit 3, and as the ceiling opened, he soared into the air, flying towards the United States at top speed.

Because the aircraft was stealth equipment, radar couldn't detect its location at all; it was as if it had entered uninhabited territory. This was the first time he had reached US airspace in this way.

He soon stopped in front of the scientist's door.

It was late at night, and the scientist was about to wash up and rest when a knock on the door broke the silence. He opened the door, full of questions, and the sight before him stunned him.

"Lin Chen?"

The two had met once before, so the scientist recognized him immediately. He was genuinely surprised by Lin Chen's sudden appearance.

This is precisely the situation that he is most worried about right now.

"What do you want from me? Didn't you also develop your own air purifier? Do you want me to lend you a hand in this matter?"

“I know that the way I came to find you was inappropriate. I came without going through security. You could have just reported me.”

"Reporting you? No need. I'm not the kind of person who can win against my opponents by using underhanded tactics. Since you're here, you must have something to ask of me. Tell me your thoughts."

The scientists were preoccupied with their own troubles and didn't want to dwell on these matters.

"I'd like to invite you to join my team. You know how much this affects everyone, and if you join, I definitely won't treat you unfairly."

"I?"

The scientists looked on in astonishment.

"Why did you choose me? You know my situation. I not only messed up a national press conference, but I also lost my position as chief scientist. Aren't you afraid that I'll mess up your job too?"

The scientist looked deeply frustrated; the incident had left a heavy shadow over him, and he even considered giving up research altogether.

"Even talented people make mistakes, don't you think? In our terms, this is called 'blind spotting your own shortcomings.' You can't negate all your previous efforts just because of one failure, right?"

Lin Chen stood at the door and said.

"Can't I go in and have a cup of tea, or even a cup of coffee?"

"come in!"

Lin Chen entered the scientist's small house and was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this former chief scientist would live in such a simple place.

"Wait a minute, doesn't your country give you any welfare benefits? This place looks... so deserted."

"Actually, I don't have much of a desire for material things. Most of us just want to be close to the lab. But now it seems pointless. I plan to resign from the lab in a while and do something I enjoy."

Although he has resigned from his position as chief scientist, he still holds a place in the laboratory. Even with the appointment of a new scientist, he remains highly respected.

"So I think you should come work for me. If we work together, find the problems, and find a solution, we're sure to get it right. Don't you think it's better to be on our team? Or are you worried that this would be betraying your country?"

At this point, the scientists spoke frankly.

"Aren't you afraid I'll leak your technology to our country? Don't forget, we're competitors. If you poach me, aren't you afraid of that happening?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. If you don't even have this much trust, then you might as well go find someone you can trust."

The scientist stared at him in shock. "It's been a long time since anyone has said anything like that to me. You really value my talent? But I don't think I'm anything special."

Lin Chen still had a smile on his face.

"Scientific experiments are never smooth sailing. Even our country's space program has experienced failures, hasn't it? Although you may find it unbelievable, we have indeed experienced many setbacks. Isn't everyone going through this step by step?"

Lin Chen knew that he had to make things clear in the face of the current pressure, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable if problems arose.

This is the most pressing issue right now. Now that the direction has been determined, we can only proceed according to the original requirements.

Hearing this, the scientists seemed to see a glimmer of hope. Perhaps, this current experience is the most important thing for them.

"All right!"

Left with no other option, the scientist could only continue to wait. He didn't know how long this method could last; perhaps the truth was already clear, but there were simply too many factors to consider.

"Think it over carefully yourself. I think I've made my thoughts clear."

Lin Chen finished his cup of coffee.

"Here is my contact information. You can contact me online. If you'd like, we can get in touch. You can take your time to think it over. I believe that sooner or later, you'll be happy to come to my lab and become my partner. I'm waiting for you."

After saying that, Lin Chen left. He understood that scientists respected each other and didn't need to say more.

After returning home, Lin Chen didn't dwell on it much, but simply waited quietly for the final answer.

However, he still showed the scientist the respect he deserved.

The scientist began to seriously consider the matter. In fact, he had been trusted during his research at his previous institution, but the funding promised by the National Academy of Sciences had been consistently delayed. Furthermore, his superiors acted erratically, constantly placing immense pressure on him.

Both are research projects, so choosing a more suitable environment is naturally better. However, scientists also have concerns: if they really go to Lin Chen's place...
What should I do about my family?

Everyone knows that once they leave, given the leader's personality, he will definitely try every means to control their family.

If it really comes to that, then it's all pointless.

How can this be good?

The next day, as soon as Lin Chen arrived at the company and turned on his computer, he saw the email. In the email, the scientist listed in detail the reasons why he could not come.

"It's all due to objective factors."

Lin Chen understood that it seemed the scientists needed to carefully consider the matter. It turned out that securing the arrival of a scientist required considerable effort.

He immediately summoned Li Xue.

"Boss, you need to think this through. If this scientist really comes to our country, we'll certainly welcome him. But it could very well trigger a fierce reaction from that country. You know, that country has a history of acting recklessly."

"This is not the first time they've acted so recklessly."

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

"I just think he's an outstanding scientist. Should he be ruined by those politicians? Besides, he deserves a much more fulfilling life."

That’s it for now, no need to say more.

"Boss, what do you suggest we do?"

"It's very simple. We should do everything we can to bring that scientist to our country and let him contribute to our development."

Li Xue pondered it carefully.

"Actually, it's not impossible. There's a way to get him to come over, but the key is that we need to find a way to rescue his family as well. At least we need to make sure he has no worries so he can work for us with peace of mind, right?"

"That's right!"

Lin Chen realized that he needed to go to the scientist's residence again to explain things thoroughly before the scientist could fully trust him.

Sure enough, one evening, Lin Chen came to the scientist's house again.

"Didn't I already reject you? Why are you coming to me again? Do you really think there's something you want from me?"

"Although I am the boss and may be demanding of you in some aspects, there is one thing I must clarify: I am also a scientist. You see, many of our company's designs are the result of my continuous efforts, which is why I have become the core of the company's technology. So, we are essentially the same."

However, the scientist didn't want to hear this; in his view, there is ultimately a gap between ideals and reality.

“You’re more worried about your family, right? After all, your family, especially your children and parents, are your biggest concern in this life. So, I will definitely find a way to bring them to our country as well.”

catch?
The scientists were taken aback when they heard this.

“Dear Mr. Franklin, I know what you are most worried about. So, if you trust me, I will definitely make you look at me in a new light. After all, I am a company owner, and I have my country behind me.”

Franklin began to think it over; it was indeed a good idea. If it could truly relieve his family's worries, then he could wholeheartedly serve China.

"That's roughly how things are. You can figure out the specifics yourself. That's all I can say, but I want to tell you to think carefully about everything that's happening around you, this country, and that leader. Are they still worth your continued loyalty?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

"There are some things you have to figure out for yourself. No matter what others say, it's useless. In the end, you have to make the decision yourself. I can only tell you that as long as you raise any objective issues, I can help you solve them. I can even help you solve your visa issues through our country's efforts."

"Okay! Like I said, give me a few days to think about it. After all, going abroad is not an easy thing for me."

"It's not difficult!"

Lin Chen looked at him calmly.

“I will help you apply for a visa on arrival, and you won’t need to take public transportation. Look at this aircraft I brought; we can go back together.”

Lin Chen's warm and sincere invitation left Franklin somewhat at a loss. He truly hadn't expected that the one who would ultimately extend an olive branch to him would be an entrepreneur from another country.

However, Franklin remained deeply troubled. After all, he still hadn't made up his mind. In this situation, whatever he chose would attract widespread attention. But he firmly believed that every effort he made now would have a profound impact on the country's future development.
