What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Achoo!"

"Achoo!"

In a dilapidated conference room in a neighboring city.

Qin Ze, who was in the middle of a meeting, sneezed twice and immediately started cursing.

"I'm there! Someone from the university must have been insulting me!"

The overweight man sitting next to him chuckled helplessly upon hearing this: "President Qin is quite the joker. You're a top student at the university; how could the university possibly criticize you?"

Qin Ze felt extremely uncomfortable hearing the fat man address him as such.

Whether it's President Qin or you.

He felt uncomfortable with everything.

The reason is simple: this is a completely new environment, and he has to face completely new relationships with the people he encounters.

Take this fat man in front of us, for example.

His name is Guan Jia, and he was the former director of the 22nd Institute, officially known as the Radio Wave Environment Observation Institute.

This institute is one of the nine institutes that were transferred to Qin Ze by higher authorities this time.

Since Institute 22 was located in Lincheng, Qin Ze made Institute 22 his base camp and temporarily worked there.

Guan Jia thus naturally became his subordinate.

"Director Guan, you are unaware of something."

Qin Ze thought about everything he had done for the university.

"The fact that the university is now criticizing me is already a relief."

"Whenever Principal Shuguo or other leaders are in my presence."

"They already did it."

"So, this leads to a very important question."

"I need to tell the security guards in the next few days that anyone from the university who wants to see me must call me via video to verify their identity in person. They can't just let them in."

Qin Ze wasn't joking.

He dug up the Twenty-Four Heavens of the University of Technology, and he did so directly by order of his superiors, without even needing the University of Technology's consent.

Principal Shuguo will probably never be able to forgive this.

But Qin Ze had no choice.

If you start your own business, you need some talent.

We can only pity Principal Shuguo.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze sighed softly, then looked up again.

"As everyone knows, the 22nd Institute has been transferred to Longxin Defense."

"And the headquarters of Longxin Defense was chosen to be located in Lincheng."

"Therefore, the tasks undertaken by your unit 22 are relatively heavy."

"Before the head office is fully established, we will have to rely on your two offices for both facilities and manpower."

Guan Jia frowned repeatedly upon hearing this, feeling immense pressure.

Institute 22 is just a small radar institute responsible for the radio wave environment.

There is only one park and two four-story office buildings.

These facilities are barely enough for our own staff to use, let alone for Longxin Defense to move in.

"President Qin, our current facilities are, to put it mildly, inadequate..."

Before Guan Jia could speak, Qin Ze immediately stopped her.

"Don't call me President Qin anymore, it makes me sound old."

Guan Jia was taken aback: "Then what's my name?"

"Call him Xiao Qin."

Guan Jia: "That won't do, you're my superior."

"Let's keep it simple, call me 'Little Boss,' not 'General Manager Qin.'"

"Alright, little boss."

Guan Jia reluctantly agreed.

"I think we need to find a solution for the head office as soon as possible regarding the office space issue."

"Otherwise, if everyone is crammed into the 22nd Institute, the efficiency will probably be very low."

Qin Ze nodded: "We need to get a piece of land as soon as possible, but that shouldn't be a big problem. I'll go to the city government to ask about it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Guan Jia replied cryptically, "The Lin City government is not easy to deal with..."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just felt compelled to speak."

Guan Jia immediately changed the subject.

"I've also received orders from my superiors."

"Our institute, the 22nd Research Institute, will definitely fully cooperate with the establishment of the new unit."

"But boss, aren't you short-staffed with the others?"

Qin Ze nodded: "A little."

The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry allocated nine research institutes to itself.

However, to be fair, none of these nine institutes are top-tier institutes.

They were all left behind by the times in the process of marketization.

Like Institute 22, it lacks the ability to be self-reliant and can only survive by relying on direct subsidies from the central government.

Any decent research institute would have been restructured into a company long ago.

Therefore, rather than saying that these nine institutes were the cornerstones allocated by the Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, it would be more accurate to say that they were the burdens that the Commission had dumped on them.

We can't rely on the talent from these nine institutes.

The core talent system of the new unit will rely on the twenty-four gods that I brought with me.

"I brought some colleagues from the university, who have made some achievements in their respective fields."

"In the early stages, we built a talent network around these people, supplemented by the existing strengths of various research institutes."

"What we need to do is get things started first, and then gradually move on to other things."

Upon hearing this, Guan Jia nodded to himself.

Don't say it.

Although this young man is not old, he is very experienced and handled the arrangements with ease.

With the technical staff mostly in place, the problems are reduced by more than half.

"If we have enough technical personnel, then all that's left is management and administration."

"I can actually take on more responsibility in this area, whether it's hiring from outside or seconding staff, I should first ensure that the company's basic functions are met."

Guan Jia had her own ulterior motives.

Although he is the director of the 22nd Institute, he does not have a technical background.

On the contrary, he is a managerial talent.

With the 22nd Institute merged into Lung Hsin Defense, he certainly won't have any say in the technology aspect anymore.

If I don't work hard to secure a place in the field of administration, I will soon be marginalized.

Seeing the group's current dire need for rebuilding, he stepped forward and volunteered to take on the important task of organizational management.

In this way, with his involvement, the company established a management team in the early stages, and his position became stable.

But Qin Ze did some quick calculations: "We have enough manpower right now, and I hope to streamline the management as much as possible."

"Director Guan, you can be my office manager for now and assist me with some specific tasks."

"In other aspects, I also brought some people from the university, who should all be able to handle the tasks."

Guan Jia was still somewhat unwilling to give up: "People from the University of Technology? Can they handle it? Our new group needs a strong management team."

"Don't worry, we have nothing else but cohesion."

Done.

Qin Ze waved his hand, signaling the people outside to get ready, as this was their first formal meeting.

"Zhou Jiahao, my roommate and assistant, will be temporarily appointed as the head of the Development Planning Department."

"Bai Huiyan, my senior, is temporarily serving as the Minister of Human Resources."

"Zhao Xianyu, my senior, will handle the finances."

"Ma Yang, Liu Hui, and Xue Jiayi are all my roommates. I'll give them each a management position to try out, since their research skills are just average."

"In addition, I have four of my students who have excellent research skills. I plan to appoint each of them as the head of a design studio."

After listening to Qin Ze's arrangements.

Guan Jia was dumbfounded.

You know what, Qin Ze was right.

This team has a really strong sense of cohesion, doesn't it?

They're all my relatives and friends! They're all relatives and friends!

They were either roommates or senior students, and they were all given important positions.

Isn't this just a case of using connections?

"Um..."

Guan Jia was in a difficult position.

There's something I'm not sure if I should say.
