Scholar's Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1487: Threat?

While the strike of the electromagnet laboratory was underway, the head of the laboratory, Director Liu Sihai, had already brought an “ultimatum” to the office of the research director of East Asia Energy.

He looked at the old man who was over seventy years old sitting at the desk as he spoke in a confident tone.

“Director Wu, the researchers in the laboratory are restless. They demanded the board of directors to stop interfering in the R&D department and remove Academician Lu from the scientific board of directors! If their demands are not met, the strike will not end.”

Director Wu was the head of the scientific research department of East Asia Energy. His name was Wu Qing, and he was 72 years old.

According to the corporate structure of East Asia Energy, all research units and scientific research projects were managed by the scientific research director, and the Science and Technology Committee of the board of directors was responsible for supervision.

Whether it was qualifications or position, Liu Sihai definitely didn’t deserve to speak with Director Wu in such an arrogant tone.

However, the situation of East Asia Energy was quite special.

Although he was the leader of the R&D department, Director Wu actually had no real power. A few years ago, most of his power had been delegated to various research units by Song Yangwei.

Because of this, Liu Sihai was not scared of him at all.

The reason for talking with him now was just to get a big name to his side and add a little more chance of winning.

However, Director Wu was not stupid. He would definitely not risk his job to help.

He looked at Director Liu Sihai, who was standing across from the desk. Director Wu sighed with a headache.

“What are you doing...”

“We are fighting for legal rights!”

Liu Sihai continued.

“Director Wu, the researchers are angry. You also used to be a scientific researcher. You should know. It is not easy to take a scientific research project from initiation to completion, and how much effort it takes. However, now an old antique a hundred years ago opened his mouth, saying to cut off half of the projects. Has he considered how ordinary people like us feel?”

After hearing these words, Wu Qing was baffled.

Others didn’t know the uselessness of the East Asia Energy research department, but he obviously knew.

It was just that at his age, he couldn’t do anything. Most of the time he just closed one eye and pretended not to see it.

Legal rights?

How do you feel?

What a load of sh*t!

But I still shouldn’t offend him.

After sighing, Director Wu continued in a calm tone.

“I feel your difficulties in my heart. To be honest, he started doing this without a heads up. I am also very angry, but I can’t change anything! This reform task from Academician Lu is personally done by himself. You know his personality. I can’t say anything in front of him.

“The protest is bound to end terribly, so why bother?”

“This is already related to the vital interests of all of us. If I choose to be silent, how can I stand up for the hard-working scholars in the laboratory and the colleagues who believe in me?” With an awe-inspiring expression, Director Liu Sihai continued, “I must see Academician Lu today! If he does not give a clear answer, I will not leave here!”

A familiar voice suddenly floated from the door.

“Someone wants to see me?”

Liu Sihai immediately looked in the direction of the door. He saw Lu Zhou walking in from outside with a robot bodyguard and a man who looked familiar.

“What a coincidence, I was about to go to your office to find you.”

Seeing that the person who came in was Lu Zhou, Liu Sihai smiled coldly. Too lazy to pretend to be polite, he gently raised his chin and said, “I will give you two choices.

“Either you become a chairman, don’t interfere with laboratory affairs, mind your own business, and no one gets in the way. Or if you continue to pursue us, you won’t have a good time!”

Lu Zhou smiled faintly and continued speaking in a calm tone, “It’s not that I haven’t been threatened before.

“But this is the first time I’ve been threatened by someone like you.”

Liu Sihai’s face instantly turned blue.

“Hey! I’m warning you, don’t be ridiculous! If you continue to do this, this won’t end well!”

Lu Zhou looked at Director Liu, whose face was red, and said blankly, “Oh, tell me what you’re going to do.”

While talking, the office door was pushed open.

The staff of the legal department led two policemen and law enforcement robots in the door. Director Wu, who was sitting behind the desk, was taken aback; cold sweat came out on his back.

Liu Sihai, who was standing there, was stunned. His face turned pale.

“You...”

His index finger pointed at Lu Zhou. His lips trembled.

He really didn’t expect that Lu Zhou would skip the negotiation and directly call the police. He didn’t expect the police to come so quickly.

He was flabbergasted!

Without noticing the expression on Liu Sihai’s face too much, Lu Zhou looked at the two policemen coming in from outside the door, nodded to them, and said softly.

“Officers, this is the person I’m talking about. Regarding his use of his power to cooperate with others to embezzle East Asia Energy assets and conceal evidence of illegal income, I have entrusted the staff of the legal department to send the evidence to the court.

“I believe the law will give him a fair trial.”

Liu Siha quickly opened his mouth in a cold sweat.

“I didn’t! I just—”

The officer interrupted Liu Sihai. He looked at him and spoke in an official tone.

“You are Mr. Liu Sihai?”

“It’s me, but... but I really didn’t do anything!” He grabbed Lu Zhou’s arm and said in an imploring tone, “There may be a misunderstanding between us, please give me a chance to explain! I must—”

“You don’t need to explain anything to me.”

Ling took Liu Sihai’s arm off Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou’s eyes were cold.

Sympathy?

Forget about it.

I’m not sympathetic toward people like you.

It’s okay to be stupid. As long as you are diligent and studious, you can still be saved. Even if you are useless, I can just replace you. I wouldn’t be this angry.

However, this was no longer a question of ability. Even now, Liu Sihai didn’t realize where his mistake was.

When Liu Sihai was taken out of the room by the law enforcement-type robot, Lu Zhou continued in a cold tone, “Explain it to the judge.”

Perhaps Liu Sihai was irritated by Lu Zhou’s cold tone. He knew that he would not be able to escape the encounter anyway, so he finally erupted in anger.

Exhausting all of his energy, when he was pulled out of the office door, he yelled out loud, “Hey, you! I’m not going to let this go! Wait and see, then you will beg me, and I will...”

The angry roar gradually faded away in the corridor, until it was inaudible.

Lu Zhou didn’t pay attention to what he said. He lightly glanced at Director Wu shivering behind his desk, then cast his gaze on Tang Yunge, who was standing next to him.

“You will be the director of the electromagnet research laboratory.”

Tang Yunge was taken aback and pointed to himself.

“Me?”

“Who else?”

“But...”

“I’m never wrong about talented people.” Lu Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said, “Work hard, don’t let me down.”

After this, Lu Zhou turned around and walked out of the door.
