Chapter 17: Impulsive Promises
"I object! I still insist that Shi Xiaoling is the most suitable candidate!" Cai Haohua said in a deep voice.
The audience was stunned, no one would have thought that Cai Haohua would be silent for a long time, and would suddenly stand up and directly oppose Wang Hengjun. Judging by his somewhat agitated appearance, an argument seemed inevitable.
Wang Hengjun was also very surprised, he thought that Cai Haohua had been persuaded by himself, but he didn't expect him to suddenly stand up again and oppose loudly.
Wang Hengjun smiled and said, "Old Cai, if you have something to say, sit down and talk about it, why be excited." You're getting old, and it's going to hurt you. Although Shi Xiaoling's cultivation in ancient martial arts is not bad, will he be able to survive the outbreak of the ultimate virus? If he dies on the spot like the students in previous years, who will be responsible?"
"I'm in charge. Cai Haohua said word by word.
"If Shi Xiaoling dies on the spot due to the outbreak of the virus, I am willing to resign from the post of chief instructor and director of the scientific research institute of the Ganquan training base and accept the punishment of the head of state. ”
The audience was in an uproar, and no one expected Cai Haohua to suddenly say such a thing.
Wang Hengjun was surprised and delighted, surprised that Cai Haohua insisted on going against him, and happy that if Shi Xiaoling died of the ultimate virus outbreak, Cai Haohua was willing to take the blame and resign.
If Cai Haohua resigns, then no one in this secret training base will dare to disobey his Wang Hengjun's orders, and any plan he wants to implement in the future will be unimpeded, and this is exactly the situation that Wang Hengjun has always wanted.
Wang Hengjun smiled and said, "Old Cai, I heard you right, you actually want to take the blame and resign for the sake of this year's selection quota? Are you so sure that Shi Xiaoling can survive the outbreak of the super virus?"
Cai Haohua said calmly: "I'm not sure, I just don't want to continue like this muddy." ”
The audience was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at the tired expression on Cai Haohua's face, and finally understood his state of mind. It turned out that he was not optimistic about Shi Xiaoling, he just didn't want to continue to engage in this "national longevity improvement plan".
Many of the experts and instructors here were former students of Cai Haohua, and they actually didn't want to continue this plan that cost people and money and had no hope of success, but they were forced to repeat this passionless work day after day because of the helplessness of reality.
Wang Hengjun changed color and said: "Elder Cai, this matter is not child's play, you are the chief instructor and director of the scientific research institute of this training base, and you are also the founding veteran of our 'National Longevity Improvement Plan', what can others say nonsense to lead to resignation, how can you ......"
Cai Haohua said lightly: "I'm not talking angry, I just firmly believe that Shi Xiaoling is the best candidate for this selection." If I'm wrong, not only did Lang take a dose of the extremely precious ultimate virus, but Lang also spent a whole year of hard work and hard work, and I deserve to resign for it. ”
Wang Hengjun said coldly: "Old Cai, we are now holding a formal annual joint meeting, and you must be responsible for every word you say. If you insist that Shi Xiaoling be the executor of this year's plan, I will give in. However, if it fails, you must take full responsibility for your proposal. ”
Cai Haohua said loudly: "Everyone, I reiterate again, I strongly recommend Shi Xiaoling to become the final executor of this year's plan, I believe that he is the best candidate for this plan, once it fails, I am willing to take the blame and resign and accept all the corresponding punishments, no jokes." ”
"Okay! Cai Lao is experienced, since he dares to gamble his career for this, then do what Cai Lao wants. What else do you have opinions?" Wang Hengjun was afraid that Cai Haohua would change his hexagram, so he immediately expressed his attitude, hoping to settle the matter as soon as possible.
All the experts and instructors present looked at each other, and no one could have imagined that Cai Haohua, who had always been calm, would suddenly be so impulsive that he would be willing to take the risk of resigning and accepting punishment for Shi Xiaoling's failure.
Although everyone can understand Cai Haohua's mentality, based on past experience, the possibility that Shi Xiaoling, who has mediocre qualifications in all aspects, will die of the ultimate virus outbreak is still quite large, and even Cai Haohua himself said that he was not sure. What's the problem?
Now that he has been caught by Wang Hengjun in public, I am afraid that in the future, this training base will really become Wang Hengjun's hall.
But at this point, Cai Haohua and Wang Hengjun have made it clear that these experts and instructors ask themselves that even if they oppose it, it will be useless, so although everyone looked at Cai Haohua with worry, they did not open their mouths to object.
Wang Hengjun thought that this was a great opportunity to clear Cai Haohua out of the shadows, or it wouldn't be long before no one in this training base would dare to dictate his decision.
Inevitably having a long night, Wang Hengjun stood up and said: "Now I officially announce that the final executor of this year's 'National Longevity Improvement Plan' is Shi Xiaoling. Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, the Institute of Biology will inoculate Shi Xiaoling with the tenth level X ultimate virus, and then send him to the space-time machine to travel through time and space. Meeting. ”
In the chief instructor's office of the training base, Cai Haohua sat on a wide chair and pondered. He strongly recommended Shi Xiaoling at the annual joint meeting just now, and promised to resign if he failed to do so.
When he returned to his office, recalling the impassioned words he blurted out just now, Cai Haohua couldn't help but shake his head and sigh at his sudden impulse.
For many years, he had been skeptical and dissatisfied with this "plan to improve the longevity of the people," and he didn't know what he was doing suddenly at the meeting just now.
Although Shi Xiaoling is the candidate he has always been optimistic about, if it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the resentment that has been accumulating in his heart, he would never have made such a decisive decision as resigning for Shi Xiaoling's sake.
Although he felt a little impulsive just now after calming down, Cai Haohua also felt a sense of relief in his heart.
"If Shi Xiaoling fails, there is nothing, then he can finally stop doing this ridiculous plan. Cai Haohua thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Zhishu knocked on the door and came in.
Seeing that it was Tang Zhishu, Cai Haohua smiled and said: "Zhishu, you came to me in a hurry just after the meeting, is it for Shi Xiaoling's business?"
Tang Zhishu saw that Cai Haohua's expression was calm, and he no longer had the excitement of the meeting just now, and he relaxed a little. Although he was dissatisfied with the various practices of the training base, Tang Zhishu still cared about and respected Cai Haohua, the mentor of the year.
Tang Zhishu said: "Mr. Cai, I came to ask you, why did you suddenly have so much confidence in Shi Xiaoling?"
Cai Haohua smiled bitterly: "Zhishu, I already said it during the meeting, but in fact, I was not sure in my heart. I was just...... It's just that I don't want to spend it in this ridiculous plan year after year, and on the spur of the moment, I ......"
Tang Zhishu was taken aback, originally she thought that the reason why Cai Haohua dared to make a promise to resign must be justified, but she didn't expect Cai Haohua to be really just out of a moment of righteous indignation.
Tang Zhishu hurriedly asked: "Mr. Cai, didn't you keep saying that Shi Xiaoling was very similar to the previous Changsheng No....... 1?
Cai Haohua sighed: "I do think that Shi Xiaoling's dedication to ancient martial arts is very similar to the previous Changsheng No. 1, and I have always thought that a person with the potential for the development of ancient martial arts should be sent to the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago." ”
"But you also know that Lu Dao, Shi Xiaoling's quality in all aspects is far inferior to the Changsheng No. 1 back then, even compared to this batch of students in the same period, no one knows whether he can survive the outbreak of the ultimate virus. ”
"I just made that commitment with years of experience and a little bit of intuition, and with some impulse. To be honest, now that I think about it, I think it's a little incredible. ”
Hearing Cai Haohua say this, Tang Zhishu was disappointed. She sincerely hoped that Shi Xiaoling could successfully realize her dream, but although Cai Haohua strongly recommended Shi Xiaoling, it was only out of temporary righteous indignation.
Tang Zhishu asked with some concern: "Mr. Cai, in your opinion, what is Shi Xiaoling's chance of success this time?"
Cai Haohua sighed for a moment and said: "To be honest, I always feel that Shi Xiaoling has a unique trait, and only the original Changsheng No. 1 has made me feel this trait over the years. Thinking about it carefully, it's not just that both of them are extremely attached to the cultivation of ancient martial arts, but it's hard for me to say what kind of trait this is. ”
Tang Zhishu said: "Mr. Cai, didn't you say that the talent of Changsheng No. 1 is unattainable? Shi Xiaoling's quality is mediocre, even among this batch of students, he is not outstanding, why ......?"
Cai Haohua smiled bitterly: "That's why I said I'm not sure." Judging from my many years of research experience, it stands to reason that Shi Xiaoling is not qualified to be the ultimate executor of the plan. Even if he was reluctant to enter the top ten or top twenty, I always had a strange hope for him in my heart, this feeling has only been felt in Changsheng No. 1, and even I have always felt strange. ”
Tang Zhishu was a little pleased, and said: "Mr. Cai, you are the top authority in biomedical and ancient martial arts research, I believe that your intuition is by no means accidental, maybe Shi Xiaoling can really surprise us." ”
Cai Haohua smiled bitterly: "You and I are both rigorous scientific research workers, and our judgments should be justified, but now we are doing things based on our feelings, which is really a bit ashamed to say." ”
Tang Zhishu said: "Scientific research also requires inspiration and intuition, and there are many great inventions that originally came from some kind of inspiration or intuition, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that." I have always had an inexplicable confidence in Shi Xiaoling, and I firmly believe that he can survive the outbreak of the ultimate virus, and maybe he can really complete this plan. ”
Looking at Tang Zhishu's determined expression, Cai Haohua smiled and said, "I hope so." By the way, Shi Xiaoling will be vaccinated with the ultimate virus tomorrow morning, has he been informed of all the relevant matters?"
Tang Zhishu shook his head and said: "Not yet, according to the rules, it should be Mr. Cai or Chief Wang who personally informed Shi Xiaoling of the relevant matters, or I will go and find him now?"
Cai Haohua said: "No need, I'll go with you, I also want to see how this guy is doing now." Wang Hengjun didn't care about him on his side, he made it clear that he wanted to see Shi Xiaoling fail so that he could drive me out of the base, and he wouldn't explain the relevant matters to Shi Xiaoling properly......"
