I am the one running the game

Chapter 760: Layoffs Affecting Major Arteries, It’s Too Late to Regret
"Trash, a bunch of trash."

"Cao Wan was able to accomplish this by himself, but you guys haven't made any progress at all?"

Liang Can took the report in his hand and smashed it directly on the head of the research team leader who was assigned by him to study and use Zheng Zhu.

When Lu Xingshi was here, there were basically new developments every week. However, now three months have passed, not to mention any new progress, it's not even possible to reap the rewards.

Every time Lu Xingshi gave the results, he directly omitted a lot of the research process in the middle. If the research team wanted to take over, they must not only look at the results, but also the process.

However, without Lu Xingshi's integrated report, the research team was at a loss.

"Master Liang, this... this is not our fault." The team leader said with a sad face, "It's that Cao guy. He left without handing over the work."

When Liang Can heard this, his face quickly turned gloomy.

"No handover? You went there to pick the fruit, not to take over. The things are just in the base."

"Do you still need Cao Wan to teach you step by step?" Liang Can cursed back.

They didn't follow the formal procedures in the first place, and now they blame the toilet for not being able to poop.

"I want an exact time. When can you produce the results of the Four Types of God Chosen? The President is waiting for it." Liang Can's expression relaxed. He knew that he was the one who made the arrangements.

It’s useless to say anything now, the key is to produce results.

"This is simply impossible. How could anyone possibly accomplish a 100% Type 4 transformation plan?"

"We even put Zheng Zhu's Type 4 modification on hold. He used the latest modification plan, which is completely incompatible with our previous modification technology."

"Zheng Zhu's modification is too perfect. The modifications to the three models are all extreme. This increases the difficulty by at least ten times." The team leader said stiffly.

This made Liang Can's expression, which had just relaxed, become gloomy again.

He doesn't understand scientific research, but he can understand what is being said.

What this means is that Lu Xingshi is more capable and skilled than the entire team he has managed combined.

It's like they were talents tailor-made for the Chosen One program. There's no substitute for them at all.

Three months had already caused Zheng Zhu's dissatisfaction. Before, Lu Xingshi had only been there for seven days at most, but this time there was no movement for three months.

"So, do you have any solution?" Liang Can realized at this time that he had made a bad move. Without Lu Xingshi, he was really in the grasp.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

"One year, give us one year, and we will definitely be able to..." The team leader gritted his teeth and directly asked Liang Can for a year to ease the situation.

We’ll talk about it later if it works or not. Anyway, we can just buy some time first. We can’t just stand there and let him scold us.

"A year, damn it." Liang Can cursed directly. He asked for less than you, did a better job than you, and even needed less time than you, yet he still had the nerve to ask for a year.

If it were Lu Xingshi, he would have completed the transformation and optimization of the Seventh Type of God's Chosen Ones in a year, and maybe even developed the transformation of the Eighth Type of God's Chosen Ones. You guys have just been able to take over the transformation of Zheng Zhu's Fourth Type of God's Chosen Ones, and there is no guarantee of success.

Not only can he not accept it, the President will also be dissatisfied.

You know, since the team moved in, the daily consumption has been nearly a hundred times greater than when Lu Xingshi was here.

It’s just because this team belongs to Liang Can himself and the consumption is from the federal government, so they turn a blind eye to it.

As for where the extra money went, he naturally knew it because he also had a share.

But it’s no longer possible now. If it continues like this, the entire project will fail.

"Three days. I'll give you three days. If you can't solve it, get back here." Liang Can roared.

"My Lord, three days is simply impossible, and one year is just a conservative estimate."

"If you are not satisfied, you don't have to wait for three days. You can withdraw us now." The team leader was waiting for Liang Can to say this.

Either give it a year, or they continue to drag it out after a year.

Or they could come back now, even though they didn't get to pick the fruit, they made a lot of money.

Therefore, it is not a big loss. On the contrary, timely withdrawal can cover up the problem of this bad debt.

"Are you really not sure at all?" Liang Can did not get furious, but quickly calmed down, because since the person in charge dared to say so, it meant that the other party was not lying.

"Not at all." The team leader breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Liang Can could calm down meant that they had a way out.

"So it still depends on Cao Wan? But..." Liang Can was helpless. Three months ago, he had just given Lu Xingshi an unlimited paid leave, which was no different from exile.

It is definitely not easy to invite the other person back.

Maybe I have to lower my status.

"It's not so absolute. Sir, you can use other research teams to give it a try. Maybe there will be some results." The team leader was very cunning. If they were the only ones who failed, they would definitely be laughed at for failing even in picking fruits.

But if other teams fail with them, they will naturally save their face.

Liang Can was indeed tempted, but he did not put it into practice.

He cursed his research team as trash, but he knew their level. It was not that his team was too bad, but that Lu Xingshi was too strong. If another team went there, the results would probably be the same, and there would be no change at all.

"I understand. I will consider your plan." Liang Can rubbed his temples and said, "I was excited just now and spoke without thinking."

"You have worked hard these days. Go collect your bonus, take a good rest for a month, and then come back to work."

Liang Can naturally cannot just use the big stick. After the big stick, he has to give some sweet treats. Otherwise, why would people give you a job?
Just because you beat and scold them?
"Thank you, sir." Everyone responded naturally. It was a holiday and a bonus, so they must be happy.

"Go down." Liang Can waved his hand and asked the other party to leave, and began to think about how to invite Lu Xingshi back.

Although the other party is young, in Liang Can's opinion, he is definitely not a good person.

If you really want the other party to continue working for you, you will definitely have to bleed heavily.

As for giving a big stick and then a sweet treat like the team under you, it is definitely inappropriate and the other party will not buy it.

Therefore, only by giving up substantial interests can Lu Xingshi be satisfied.

...

"A bunch of trash, finally left." Zheng Zhu looked at the evacuating research team with a gloomy face.

At the beginning, he still had hope and actively cooperated.

But the fact is that they can't meet their expectations at all. Lu Xingshi only needs seven days to prepare and complete the fourth type of transformation for himself.

But three months later, not only did they fail, they also blamed themselves for the problem.

"No, I have to find a way to invite Professor Cao back. Otherwise, let alone three months, even three years... No, I might give up on myself."

Now he understood that what Lu Xingshi had said to him was not only true, but also an exaggeration.

The real situation was much more serious than he had imagined.

"Otherwise, even if I change the team, I guess they will be just like this bunch of trash and won't be able to help me at all."

Zheng Zhu got used to improving under Lu Xingshi, which was not only easy but also fast.

After the replacement, in his eyes, this efficiency could not be said to be low, it could only be said to be non-existent. He had wasted three months of his time in vain, and this time was still increasing. As long as Lu Xingshi was not invited back, he would have to endure one more day.

"It's just... can we really invite Professor Cao back?"

How could Zheng Zhu not know now that Lu Xingshi was not going on leave to recuperate, but was kicked out.

The one who took action was Liang Can, whom he had envied at the time.

When it does not involve his own interests, Zheng Zhu naturally has an admiring mentality towards the most powerful chosen one of the Federation.

However, now it is not just about his interests, but it has directly destroyed his own future and made him lose all his interests. How can he still admire her? It is already good enough not to hate her.

'If the invasion was not an accident, then perhaps it would be clear.'

He understood that whether he became a Type 7 or Type 8 Chosen One, he would pose a threat to Liang Can. The former would at least be his equal, while the latter would mean that he would replace the other as the strongest Chosen One in the Federation.

No matter which one it is, Liang Can will not allow it to happen.

So the best way is to prevent this from happening.

It would not be a good idea to kill him. After all, he was the champion of the God's Chosen Seed Cultivation Program.

But as long as Lu Xingshi is kicked out and left on the bench, and a group of useless people are sent to replace him, the project will naturally fail in the end.

And he will be treated coldly, and it will be like this for the rest of his life.

This was the guess he made up.

"But... even if I'm invited back, the Federation won't recognize me." Zheng Zhu quickly realized that he was just a reserve and had no power at all. The only thing he could control about any affairs of the entire base was to ask the waitress to serve him more food.

Forget about the rest, just don't listen to him.

"I can't invite him back, so I'll just use luck." Zheng Zhu understood that he couldn't do it, so he let luck take care of it. Luck was the only thing he was good at anyway.

In fact, Zheng Zhu had no other solution except relying on luck.

It’s not that he wants to rely on luck, but that he can only rely on his luck.

This feeling made Zheng Zhu feel very uncomfortable.

"The power is too weak, and I can't even keep the means to improve myself."

At this time, Zheng Zhu was particularly eager for power.

He is powerful enough and does not believe that the Federation dares to go against his wishes.

Just like Liang Can, he can mobilize the entire federation to serve him with just one sentence. This is the treatment that a truly strong person should enjoy.
