Chapter 212: Chen Hao's Life

Regarding Lu Yu's decision, Chen Hao actually couldn't understand it.

If Lu Yu had shown disgust toward Qiao zhi from the start, Chen Hao could still somewhat accept it.

But…… When Lu Yu previously dealt with Qiao zhi, even if the other party's attitude was arrogant, Lu Yu always kept a smile, even offering Qiao zhi very good terms.

To be honest, such terms would move even Chen Hao himself.

Even more, Chen Hao could say that under the current circumstances, such high treatment is rare worldwide.

Chen Hao could be certain that at that time Lu Yu was not joking, nor did he intend to toy with Qiao zhi.

In other words, Lu Yu could overcome his personal feelings and devote himself solely for the Research Center.

So, what changed Lu Yu?

What exactly was Lu Yu thinking in his mind?

Holding such doubts, Chen Hao didn't sleep all night.

Yes, Chen Hao today did not go to find Qiao zhi, nor did he tell Lu Yu's thoughts to him.

He felt there was still room for change, or rather he believed he could persuade Lu Yu, and even more believed Lu Yu's actions today were just a momentary impulse.

Tomorrow, tomorrow everything will return to the right track!

……

The next day, Chen Hao arrived at the Research Center very early.

He discussed with the team the research direction and the current situation.

Originally he planned to chat briefly with the team, then return to the office to call Lu Yu, asking Lu Yu to come over.

But……

Who would have thought that once Chen Hao started working, he forgot the time, and by the time he realized, it was already 2 p. m.

At that time, Chen Hao still hadn't eaten lunch.

He is indeed a sufficiently diligent person, with enough patience and anticipation for this research.

After finishing lunch, Qiao zhi returned to the office and called Lu Yu.

About an hour later, Lu Yu then came to the Research Center.

"Is something wrong?" Lu Yu looked at Chen Hao, Chen Hao is someone who would never disturb Lu Yu if there were no problem.

Even if encountering a problem, Chen Hao would first try to solve it.

"Lu Yu, I now solemnly ask you a question."

"I hope you can consider it seriously before answering, and not be influenced by any personal feelings."

Chen Hao appeared extremely solemn, his eyes fixed on Lu Yu filled with determination.

Lu Yu put away his smile, became serious, and said: "Go ahead and ask."

Chen Hao took a deep breath and said: "Are you still deciding not to hire Qiao zhi?"

This time, Lu Yu did not laugh, nor did he answer immediately.

It wasn't that Lu Yu hesitated about his own idea, but out of respect for Chen Hao, he deliberately asked himself the question again in his heart.

After a moment, Lu Yu looked at Chen Hao and said: "Yes, this is my decision."

"Just now I asked myself again in my heart, and the answer hasn't changed at all."

"Or rather, even if I were given ten thousand chances, my answer would remain the same."

Chen Hao's brows furrowed again tightly.

If yesterday's Lu Yu was impulsive, then today's Lu Yu is resolute.

He couldn't understand, so he asked: "Why? Can you give me a reason?"

Lu Yu lightly nodded, then slowly said: "Just now you asked me to think about this problem without any personal feelings, but in fact I haven't done that."

"The reason for making this decision is my personal feelings."

"The whole reason is simply because Qiao zhi is a foreigner."

"I hope our mobile phone system is completed by our Huaxia people, from start to finish."

Chen Hao's heart jumped violently, but soon his expression became even more solemn.

"You should know how naive your idea is, right?"

"In the face of reality, in the face of interests, what are these illusory things worth?"

Chen Hao naturally also hopes the entire research process be completed by Huaxia people, but……

As he himself said, in the face of reality and interests, what is a bit of sense of honor or disgrace!

Chen Hao is already in his thirties to forties, he knows what is more important.

Lu Yu remained silent for a while, but had no intention of arguing with Chen Hao.

"I have already made this decision, and will not change it."

"Just treat this as my childish tantrum."

After taking a deep breath, Lu Yu said so.

Is Chen Hao angry?

No!

He is not angry at all.

At least Chen Hao has no intention of being angry toward Lu Yu.

Chen Hao merely feels disappointed and disheartened toward himself.

If his own technology were strong enough, would Lu Yu still need to face such a choice?

He also wouldn't not want to do as Lu Yu said; his expectation and desire are even far stronger than Lu Yu's.

Thus, at this moment Chen Hao is feeling pain.

Adults are just like that; there are too many things that need to be weighed, having seen too much reality, so they bear more and greater pressure on their shoulders, to the point that they can no longer act as freely as they did in their youth.

"Okay, I understand!"

Chen Hao closed his eyes, and only after a while did he open them, looking at Lu Yu and saying.

……

Chen Hao still did not immediately go look for Qiao zhi; after work, he found a wine shop.

He got himself drunk.

In the dream, Chen Hao saw his former young self.

At that time, he was a true genius, the hope of the whole village.

He carried his talent and honor, representing Huaxia's students, and went abroad on an exchange.

Chen Hao felt he would surely astonish everyone, letting foreigners know just how powerful present-day Huaxia really is.

In fact…… Chen Hao did not fail.

In those prestigious schools, there are many talents; it can almost be said that geniuses are everywhere.

But Chen Hao still managed to carve out a path for himself among those geniuses.

But this process was not simple.

Chen Hao almost exhausted all his strength.

But even so……

He still could not reach the pinnacle.

Or rather, precisely because he carved out a path, he saw a broader world.

Only then did he realize how insignificant he originally was.

With his own abilities, he could fundamentally bring nothing to this world.

But Chen Hao was not discouraged; he merely felt much heavier.

Because he knew he was the hope representing Huaxia's students, he wanted to learn more and become stronger.

Also at that time, Chen Hao's steps began to become increasingly heavy.

Chen Hao is still under forty, yet much of his hair has already turned white.

This is the result of bearing so much and working so hard.

But he has no regrets, and even feels he hasn't worked hard enough.

……

The next day, when Chen Hao woke up, he could no longer clearly remember what happened in the dream.

He only felt as if he had lived through another life, discovering that his eyes…… and tears were flowing.
