The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

The main east-west road in this Pangu Industrial Park is nearly 20 kilometers long.

The main north-south road is also nearly 10 kilometers long.

The total built area is nearly 200 square kilometers.

It's important to know that many medium-sized cities actually only have a built-up area of ​​a few hundred square kilometers.

For example, New York, home to the Great Eagle, is known as the most prosperous international metropolis and a world financial center.

However, New York's built-up area is only a little over a thousand square kilometers.

Many of the cities that the giant eagles call themselves are actually only two or three hundred square kilometers in size.

Lee Sang-hyeok was completely dumbfounded.

He originally thought that the headquarters of Pangu Technology was probably just a skyscraper.

Now that he has arrived, he discovers that this is actually a city.
Moreover, the city is very well planned.

The various production plants are arranged on both sides of the main road.

The commercial area, located near the intersection, has all kinds of shopping malls, cinemas, bars, specialty stores, and so on.

Behind the commercial area near the intersection are staff dormitories and family housing, with rows of tall buildings standing side by side.

Lee Sang-hyeok's eyes were dazzled.

However, Pangu Technology's headquarters building is indeed located near the business district, where there is a 38-story tower.

To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise to Lee Sang-hyeok that such a short building was the headquarters of the renowned Pangu Technology.

Currently, Pangu Technology can be considered one of the most profitable giant companies in the world.

Even energy giants can't compare to it.

But its headquarters is surprisingly shabby.

Lee Sang-hyeok stood outside the Pangu Technology building and silently observed for a while.

He gritted his teeth and went inside.

He had actually submitted his resume before, but they rejected him, saying he wasn't a good fit.

Lee Sang-hyeok came here this time because he wanted to bite the bullet and give it another try.

After all, Pangu Technology is world-renowned.

It is also the largest company that is most willing to spend money.

It's normal for outstanding leaders to earn millions of RMB a year here.

Lee Sang-hyeok wanted to prove himself.

He himself was also traumatized.

His older brother only graduated from junior high school, but he now earns hundreds of millions of yuan every year, with a net profit of tens of millions.

He believed he was on a much higher level than his brother.

He shouldn't earn less than his brother.

Lee Sang-hyeok entered the headquarters building of Pangu Technology.

There are quite a lot of people coming and going here.

But everyone who comes in has an appointment.

When Lee Sang-hyeok was stopped by security personnel at the entrance and asked if he had an appointment, he blurted out, "I am Wang Haoran's classmate. We founded Pangu Technology together back then."

"Excuse me, may I see him without an appointment?"

He didn't want to run into a wall with HR again.

Last time, HR rejected him outright.

Lee Sang-hyeok was a little unconvinced.

I was very dissatisfied.

He believes that Pangu Technology's HR department is also abusing its power.

I was considered a fairly good experimental physicist at Giant Eagle.

My main research area is also electronics.

Why do you say I'm not suitable?

The security personnel who stopped Lee Sang-hyeok were taken aback.

There were many people who impersonated Wang Haoran's friends before.

However, this person actually claimed that he co-founded Pangu Technology with Wang Haoran back then?

"Sir, what is your surname? I'll contact the office," the security guard said.

Lee Sang-hyeok then introduced himself, and of course, he also talked about his university days and some details about participating in Wang Haoran's project team.

The security personnel couldn't remember much of what he said.

So, after getting through to the office, they let Lee Sang-hyeok speak for himself.

Xiao Lijuan happened to be in the office that day.

Wang Haoran was also handling work matters in his office.

Since he is in charge of such a super-giant enterprise as Pangu Technology, he must take responsibility.

Even with perfect rules and regulations, there are still quite a few management issues to deal with.

He must keep personnel and financial power firmly in his own hands.

Xiao Lijuan answered the phone call from the security guard.

Li Xianghe then impatiently recounted to Xiao Lijuan how close he and Wang Haoran were back then, and how he helped Wang Haoran achieve important scientific research results, and so on.

Xiao Lijuan was a little confused.

She thought to herself, according to what the other party said, Haoran should at least tell her about this person, right?

Moreover, if this person were truly Wang Haoran's good friend, how could he not have any recollection of him?

This unscientific.

Xiao Lijuan said, "Mr. Li, I'll go ask General Manager Wang if he remembers you."

Lee Sang-hyeok said, "How could he not remember me?"

"I also gave him a lot of help in his early years to achieve what he has today."

"Go ask them quickly."

"If you delay our meeting as old friends, you'll be in big trouble."

Lee Sang-hyeok boasted shamelessly.

Xiao Lijuan frowned.

This person has quite a temper.

His tone became even more aggressive.

“Okay, sir, please wait a moment,” Xiao Lijuan said.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lijuan went to see Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran is currently considering a personnel appointment.

Xiao Lijuan then knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Wang, someone claiming to be an old friend of yours is downstairs and wants to see you..."

Xiao Lijuan then gave a brief overview of the relevant situation.

After listening, Wang Haoran remembered such a person.

"Ha! He was sent by the organization to study at Giant Eagle after graduation."

"Later, after he completed his studies, he stayed at the Giant Eagle without permission."

"This behavior is extremely egregious."

"I never expected that he would actually return from the Giant Eagle."

Xiao Lijuan said, "Do you think we should see him?"

Wang Haoran said, "This person is quite opportunistic."

“I heard about him in our classmates’ group chat. It seems he hasn’t come back since he went to study abroad.”

"He didn't even come back when his mother passed away."

"It's clear that his character isn't very good either."

"Our Pangu clan certainly can't accept someone like that, can they?"

Xiao Lijuan said, "Then let's just not see him. Seeing him would be a waste of time."

"Moreover, the HR department just checked the information and found that this person had submitted a resume before, but was blacklisted because he went abroad on a government scholarship and never came back."

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "I'll create a classmate group for you. You can have him join our group on QQ Chat."

"Let him hear for himself how his classmates evaluate him."

Wang Haoran then gave Xiao Lijuan a group chat of his university classmates.

Xiao Lijuan had someone take it down and hand it over to Li Xianghe.

In the lobby on the first floor, Lee Sang-hyeok sat on the sofa in the waiting area, feeling a little irritated.

He thought to himself, "I've already made my relationship with Wang Haoran clear! Why won't they let me see him?"
Has Wang Haoran become so arrogant now?
However, they certainly have the right to be arrogant.

Lee Sang-hyeok was waiting anxiously.

A female office worker in a business suit walked over.

"Are you Mr. Lee Sang-hyeok?"

Lee Sang-hyeok quickly stood up: "Yes, yes."

"you are?"

The female employee said, "I'm from the Pangu Technology office."

"I have something to tell you: Our General Manager Wang is quite busy right now and doesn't have time to see you."

"If you have a QQ chat account, please join this classmate group."

The female employee handed Lee Sang-hyeok a note.

There is a string of numbers on it.

Lee Sang-hyeok was a little confused.

what does it mean?

Refusing to see me?

Saying you're busy?

Then they gave me a QQ chat group number to join?
"Oh, could you please tell Mr. Wang Haoran that I just returned from Giant Eagle and I want to serve my country?"

"I wonder if Mr. Wang could arrange a job for me?"

"I am an experimental physicist, specializing in microelectronics."

Lee Sang-hyeok said impatiently.

He still wanted to use emotional appeal to get a good position at Pangu Technology.

The female employee smiled and said, "I'm so sorry! Mr. Wang said that your trip abroad on public funds and your failure to return is an act of betrayal that cannot be forgiven."

"Therefore, Pangu Technology will not hire him."

This response was quite direct.

This left Lee Sang-hyeok completely bewildered.

Holy shit! Is it that direct?

Is Wang Haoran really so inconsiderate of past relationships?
I was involved when you first started your business!

You actually used such a lame excuse to shut me out.

Is it because you are jealous of talent and ability, and you are afraid that if I join Pangu Technology, I will take your position?
Lee Sang-hyeok was very angry.

However, he also felt somewhat helpless.

They're the top dog at Pangu Technology, so whatever they say goes.

This means that his chances of getting into Pangu Technology are basically over.

"Did General Manager Wang say that?" Lee Sang-hyeok questioned the female employee.

The female employee nodded: "Yes, he said it himself."

He said that speaking in circles would only harm others, and that being direct would avoid misunderstandings.

Lee Sang-hyeok suddenly felt everything go black.

His greatest hope was finally dashed.

Damn it, he always thought that as long as he met Wang Haoran, he could get a good job.

In retrospect, that was nothing but a fantasy.

Wang Haoran does indeed still remember him.

But they don't care about past relationships at all, okay?
Some even believe that his staying with the Giant Eagles was a major stain on his life.

However, Lee Sang-hyeok did not think that it was a bad thing for him to study abroad on a government scholarship and then stay at Giant Eagle.

He thinks, "Am I wrong to pursue a better life?"
I didn't do anything wrong!

Everyone should strive to live a better life.

Now that the dragon has developed well, I've come back to build up the motherland. What right do you have to criticize me?

Lee Sang-hyeok was furious.

However, he didn't dare to lose his temper at all.

In the end, he could only get up and walk out of the Pangu Technology headquarters.

Once he was outside, he dared to look up the number for the classmate group that Wang Haoran had given him on his phone.

He comforted himself: Wang Haoran took the initiative to give me the group number of my classmates, so he probably hasn't given up on me yet, right?
That must be it!

There must be many successful people in the classmates' group.

Most of these students actually work at Pangu Technology.

Nowadays, they are almost all in charge of technical or administrative management.

After finding the classmate group, Lee Sang-hyeok started applying for a note, adding his name and other information.

Then, he clicked the request to join the group.

His application was approved in no time.

When he came in, the group chat was in full swing.

"I'm dying of laughter. Someone just told me that Lee Sang-hyeok claims to be the founder of Pangu Technology."

“This man is shameless. The country nurtured him and sent him to study abroad, but after he completed his studies, he never came back, not even when his mother passed away.”

“I’m from his village. He did something big when he came back this time. The very night he returned home, his brother threw him a welcome-back dinner with good food and drink. He immediately demanded to separate from his brother. The thing is, all of his family’s current assets were earned by his brother himself. Isn’t this just robbing him?”

"This is a typical sophisticated egoist. He'll run wherever there's a benefit. He'll follow whoever offers the best deal."

"President Wang, you absolutely must keep him out of Pangu Technology! Someone like that would be a menace if he came in. He might even be a spy on a mission..."

"My suggestion is: this kind of traitor who has already become a citizen should be fined by paying training fees and interest! And then he should not be allowed to come back!"

"My idea is: everyone should spread the word and not let any domestic company, university, or research institution take him in."

And so, when Lee Sang-hyeok came in, he saw that the people in the group were talking about him.

He glanced through the contents and became somewhat exasperated.

These people have such dark hearts, don't they?
To say such offensive things.

This is putting him in a deadly situation!

I was just trying to pursue a better life for myself, was I wrong?

You people are really too dark, aren't you?
Lee Sang-hyeok then jumped out and said, "I am Lee Sang-hyeok. Everyone, aren't you being a bit too aggressive?"

"I violated the agreement on government-funded overseas study, and our country hasn't said anything. What are you all fussing about?"

"Don't you think it's really low to talk about me behind my back?"

"What's it to you? I'm coming back to find a job, what's it to you? Don't you think you're being a bit nosy?"

Wang Haoran is now sitting in his office, having been busy for a while.

He's watching Penguin Chat.

The discussion in the group wasn't something he deliberately arranged; it was just a coincidence that people started talking about how, with the decline of Eagle, many domestic talents who had gone to Eagle to develop their careers are now returning.

The discussion turned to a question: should these people who have returned to their hometowns be given a chance?

Some people have mentioned that a considerable number of those who were sent abroad on government scholarships back then violated the treaty and stayed in Giant Eagle.

The state funded their further education, but they chose to renege on the agreement for their own selfish interests.

What should be done with these people?

And so, some people started talking about Lee Sang-hyeok.

Just then, Lee Sang-hyeok walked in.

I saw most of the content about himself.

Enraged, Lee Sang-hyeok began to lash out.

When Lee Sang-hyeok jumped out, the group chat was quiet for a short while at first.

However, as Lee Sang-hyeok further berated and cursed in the group, he immediately provoked a barrage of attacks from the people.

"Lee Sang-hyeok, you keep saying that pursuing your own interests and happiness is not wrong, but have you ever considered the interests of the country?"

"This guy only cares about money, he doesn't care about the country or the people. I bet he'd even sell out his own mother for money!"

"Disloyal, unfilial, inhumane, and utterly devoid of humanity, and you still think you're so right?"

“A traitor like you should be arrested and thrown in jail! The country allowed you to come back; you should be grateful, not think it's your right!”

"Admin, this person is hopeless. I think we should kick him out to prevent him from making our classmate group a mess!"

As a result, Lee Sang-hyeok was kicked out of the group.

He didn't even stay in the group for a full hour.

But this person still left a deep impression on Wang Haoran.

He thought: These sophisticated egoists are like a malignant tumor! Therefore, we should add a recruitment step in the future; those who are extremely selfish should be directly rejected! (End of Chapter)
