The candlelight is dim, and the figures are solemn.

In the room, thick knuckles kept pounding on the tabletop, showing the impatience in the owner's heart.

A gust of wind blew through the window, rattling the papers on the table. The wind was stronger, and the palm of one hand "snapped" on a stack of reports that were about to scatter, shaking the cups on the table.

Xiao Chen didn't hear it, but leaned back in the chair and took a deep breath. The smell of instant coffee permeates the office. Xiao Chen didn't like to drink coffee before, and he didn't like this kind of cookie-cutter taste. But today he actually finished drinking a glass, and he still had the feeling of unfinished.

This is a hot thing, only departments that need to stay up late and work hard can be divided, it seems that this team leader Zhou is ready for a protracted battle. Did he insist on asking for something famous today?

"I've seen the report. Do you have anything else to add?" Zhou Xiaoren's voice was a little sharp, which did not match his age in his forties and his stocky figure. But the voice of the words is very penetrating, and it seems to be around your ears all the time, turning in circles to ask the bottom of the question.

"Nope. Xiao Chen's answer was very simple, he knew that investigating this kind of thing had always been too much to say and be wrong. This investigation is already a little weird, the facts are obviously very clear, but some people want to chase after it, I really don't know what kind of mind they have to engage in such meaningless things. Do you think that our group of refugees has established themselves and sat back and relaxed?

"I talked to Zhao Rui and Zhang Sicheng before, and there is a big difference between their statements and what you wrote in your report. Zhou Xiaoren said slowly, "Of course, you are still a student, and when you encounter such an unexpected situation, it is normal to think of ideas for a while." Then let's not go into the details, but first talk about your general opinion on this matter. ”

Xiao Chen looked at the other party's eyes with a calm expression, "In my opinion, this is a pure accident. This incident also serves as a reminder that to further explore the forest, we must step up our force. ”

"You young people are still looking at things simply. Zhou Xiaoren took out a cigarette and motioned for Xiao Chen to come and get it, but Xiao Chen waved his hand and refused. He lit a cigarette with his own lighter, took a deep breath, and then said, "Zhao Rui believes that the main reason for Professor Lin's death is to venture into the forest, disperse the team, wait too long for the confluence, and lack of plan to attack the camp. Zhang Sicheng, Ye Zi, and you were all involved in the formulation of this plan, so you all have to take responsibility for Professor Lin's death. And Zhang Sicheng felt guilty in his heart, and he had already taken all the fault on himself. Are you convinced that the committee's conclusion is now that you are incompetent and that internal disagreements led to the accident?

"Team Leader Zhou, I think we want to talk about the facts today, not whether we feel fair. Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.

"Huh. Zhou Xiaoren laughed twice, pulled the ashtray on the table, and made an unpleasant sound on the table. He played a cigarette and continued: "What is the truth? In this world, everything that people are mixed with depends on the angle of observation and the voice of the discussion. The angle of observation determines what facts you find, and the voice of the argument will shape the attitude of the people around you towards the facts. If you want to continue to do things, you can't put on an objective and high-minded appearance. It's about letting them see your facts. ”

"Teacher Zhou is very reasonable, I will be more careful in handling things in the future. Xiao Chen said.

Zhou Xiaoren frowned slightly, he found that this Xiao Chen didn't answer his words at all, and it was not easy to deal with.

He tapped his fingers on the table again, and after a while he said earnestly: "You are people who are born and die, you are people who are fighting on the front line, even if there is some controversy on the spot, it cannot be said that it is wrong. Who knows if the other option will bring worse results? Mr. Zhang is an indispensable talent in geology, and you are also a banner for our external liaison. You shouldn't get caught up in something like this. ”

Xiao Chen didn't make a sound, looking at the beating spark in his hand, he already understood the other party's plan, this is to use him as a weapon, and the sword is aimed at Principal Guo.

At this time, I actually want to fight in the nest, and I really can't miss these rats everywhere.

Sure enough, Zhou Xiaoren said again: "You can't only see the trees and not the forest." Why we should go, where we should go, what kind of troops should we send, and what kind of armed forces should we equip ourselves with, these are the things we need to reflect on. Otherwise, it's just time to put the blame on the frontline personnel, which is the biggest injustice to you. ”

The more he spoke, the more passionate his tone became, and finally stood up and paced behind Xiao Chen, patted him on the shoulder and said, "To make the school aware of this problem, to make this kind of tragedy happen again, people like you who have personally faced that kind of dangerous scene are the most convincing." ”

Xiao Chen gently removed his hand, stood up, turned to look at him and said, "I think the school's policy is correct, this is just an accident. Before we set off, the villagers said that the forest was safe and that we were well prepared. Yes, we are in danger, and Professor Lin's sacrifice is a great loss. But we eventually destroyed the goblin tribe's camp so that the school knew about the existence of goblins, so that they wouldn't be caught off guard by goblins one day. On the way back, we confirmed the location of the iron ore ore and found a suitable transportation route, and we really put our own steel on the agenda. I think the benefits of the whole action far outweigh the disadvantages! That's what I know best, the clearest view. ”

Xiao Chen walked to the door by himself, looked back and smiled: "I don't care what others think of me or what they think of me." If no one objects to something, it must be a dispensable and boring thing. ”

With that, he opened the door. As soon as the door opened, he found that Luo Ling was standing outside the door, and his hand was also on the doorknob. His excited look because of the tirade made her smile, and he stretched out his head to Zhou Xiaoren and said, "Team Leader Zhou, excuse me." There was an urgent meeting for Xiao Chen to attend, about the trade team that would leave for Suero City tomorrow. Time waits for no one, and I'm afraid I'll have to delay this investigation. I'm so sorry. ”

Zhou Xiaoren glanced at the two of them helplessly, so he had to wave his hand and go to the window to smoke.

"The beauty is here to save the hero again? Xiao has thanked you here! and asked you to make up an urgent mission. Walking on the road, Xiao Chen gave Luo Ling a fist.

"Look like a monkey!" Luo Ling pushed Xiao Chen, "Alas, it seems that I am troublesome, didn't you come out yourself?"

"If you don't come to save me, it is estimated that Team Leader Zhou will go crazy. I didn't save him any face, well, a little impulsive. ”

"It's good to know, don't cause trouble for me. Also, the mission has come true, so you can go out with me. Do you have the courage to venture into a new world with me?"

"I don't dare to ask for it. ”

"Don't dare, is there really anything you don't dare?" Luo Ling covered her mouth and smiled.

"That's a lot. Xiao Chen sneered, "So, we still have to find some scrolls to come out and give ourselves courage." ”

"You mean, go to that study again?"

————————————————————————

Just when Xiao Chen and Luo Ling went to the magician's mansion through the secret passage, the conference room on the top floor of the chemistry building was full of people. Headed by Guo Qian, the current chairman of the management committee and the top leader of the school, in addition to him, nearly half of the 12-member committee was present, and the main backbones of the science and technology group and the industrial group were also sitting in the venue.

Li Jia stood at the front of the conference room, observing the expressions of these people on the seats, almost all of them seemed a little anxious or excited, they seemed to be waiting for something. Only a fellow standing next to him seemed to be calm.

Morey crossed his hands on his hips, not paying any attention to the circle he had just drawn, but instead looked east and west, looking at the facilities in the conference room.

The time of today's meeting was unexpectedly long, Li Jia did not expect that the meeting to review Morey's alchemy ability could be held from afternoon to evening, and it made these experts and leaders lose their patience to wait for another day, and they must see the results today. President Guo directly asked the hospital's generator to supply power to the chemistry building and use it for laboratories and conference rooms.

"It's successful! It's true!" A voice came from the aisle, and after a while, Mao Kai rushed into the venue with a metal block: "It has been analyzed with a metal analyzer, and the purity is very high, higher than the purity of the materials stored in the laboratory! We can combine this kind of alchemy with our technology...... It's amazing!"

There was a commotion in the middle of the room, and many people began to speak, discuss, and even argue. Mao Kai rushed to the middle of the venue and put several test reports in front of Guo Qian and others. Immediately, a large number of people gathered around, scrambling to check the reports.

Guo Qian quickly scanned the report, exchanged views with several members around him, and then stood up and walked in front of Morey.

The discussion in the room gradually fell silent. Guo Qian looked around the room and finally landed on Morey's face.

Morey took a deep breath and smiled at Guo Qian.

Guo Qian's tone was calm and slow: "Mr. Morey, your alchemy is very remarkable, it has opened our eyes. We welcome you to bring such technology to us and are willing to share our knowledge with you. But then you have to be a part of us forever. Are you willing to defend this new home with your abilities, and are you willing to take on all kinds of challenges with us?"

Morey stared into Guo Qian's eyes, as if reading the sincerity in the other party's eyes, he stroked his chest with one hand, and solemnly bent down to salute Guo Qian: "This is my greatest honor." ”
