Chapter 213: Burst!
Chen Hao sat on the bed for a while, letting his emotions stabilize a bit, then he took a deep breath and washed up.
After he had finished tidying up, Chen Hao went out and arrived at the hotel where Qiao zhi was staying.
Ding-dong!
Chen Hao pressed the doorbell, but inside there was no sound for a while.
Chen Hao pressed the doorbell again, waited a while, and was about to press it again when the door suddenly opened.
"Chen! What are you doing? Do you know what time it is now?"
"You're disturbing me!"
"I told you already—I'll consider staying at your research center."
"Once I've thought it through, I'll naturally let you know!"
Qiao zhi had an unfriendly expression and a bad attitude.
Chen Hao's brows involuntarily furrowed slightly, a hint of anger on his face, but he restrained himself and said, "It's like this, Qiao zhi."
"Lu Yu has made a new decision..."
"Lu Yu! Lu Yu again! Why do you keep bringing up Lu Yu in front of me?"
"Do you Huaxia really have no talent left? You still want a child to take charge?"
"I'm starting to worry—how could a research center centered on a child produce any achievements!"
"And what was Lu Yu's attitude when he faced me last time!"
"Aren't you Huaxia the land of propriety? What about a child's manners toward adults?"
Qiao zhi didn't let Chen Hao finish speaking at all, already shouting at him.
Qiao zhi had been playing until the early morning, had just fallen asleep not long ago, and was suddenly disturbed by Chen Hao, so naturally he was unhappy.
Moreover, mentioning Lu Yu made Qiao zhi genuinely unhappy, because he clearly remembered being completely suppressed by Lu Yu in their last meeting!
The other side is just a child, while he is a somewhat famous adult.
How could such a situation not make people angry?
"Qiao zhi... what do you mean?" To be honest, Chen Hao was really angry now, but the angrier he got, the calmer his expression became.
In Qiao zhi's view, Chen Hao was backing down.
"Indeed, what those people said is correct—Huaxia people are timid toward foreigners!"
"What do you mean?"
"It's simple: you have Lu Yu come over to apologize to me, I don't demand better treatment, but the research center's affairs must be decided by me."
"And if there are any research results, my name must come first!"
Qiao zhi's demand is a bit like a lion opening its mouth wide.
The treatment and Lu Yu's apology aren't really important; the important thing is the last point.
"Putting Qiao zhi's name first" means acknowledging to the world that Qiao zhi is the core of this research center, and he has priority rights to all its achievements.
Chen Hao... seething with cold anger.
"Damn old man, go home and suckle!" Chen Hao said harshly.
"What are you saying?" Qiao zhi didn't understand, because Chen Hao said this in Mandarin.
"I'm saying you're a toad that constantly dreams of eating swan meat."
"You're also a stinkbug that everyone dislikes."
"You're just a pile of garbage, smelly and disgusting."
"You don't even count as a thing."
"Get lost back to your home—we don't need you!"
"Remember! It's us who don't want you, not that you have no choice but us."
Chen Hao pointed at Qiao zhi's nose and, once he started speaking, couldn't stop.
Strangely, his voice only grew colder, with no sign of anger on his face.
After saying all that, Chen Hao closed his eyes, then after a moment slowly opened them, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Qiao zhi, "Well then, goodbye—never again."
Having said that, Chen Hao slowly turned and slowly walked outward.
After Chen Hao had walked some distance, Qiao zhi finally realized and hurriedly shouted after his back.
"Chen! Are you crazy!"
"Without me, your research can't possibly continue!"
"You lack this technology and this insight!"
"You'll definitely regret it..."
As for more of the content, Chen Hao didn't hear it; by then he had already arrived at the hotel lobby.
He sat on the sofa, continuously taking deep breaths.
Just now, he appeared calm, but inside his heart was like a volcano erupting, his emotions extremely agitated.
After he calmed down, Chen Hao's face showed a smile again.
He stood up and walked out of the hotel.
The Magic City District remained bustling with people, everyone hurried, busy with life.
Chen Hao didn't notice that as he walked into the crowd, his steps became much lighter than ever before, nor did he realize his face had broken into a smile.
Chen Hao actually smiles often, because he has to face many different people.
But those smiles are largely professional.
Now... he finally has a genuine smile from the heart.
Probably...
This is the craziest and most irresponsible thing he has ever done in his life.
Compared to when he was young, it is even more serious.
But... this feeling is really good.
"I scolded Qiao zhi."
"So, from today on, there will no longer be a famous overseas technician joining us."
"In other words, from now on we can truly rely only on ourselves to do mobile phone system research."
When Chen Hao returned to Ke Da, he discovered Lu Yu was also there, and then directly said what had just happened.
Lu Yu couldn't help but stare, never expecting Chen Hao to have this side as well.
"I know I did this wrong; if I had another chance, I probably wouldn't do it again."
"But my mood right now is really great... hahaha..."
Chen Hao, while speaking, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lu Yu also inexplicably felt happy.
After a moment, Chen Hao's expression became solemn again, and he even let out a sigh.
"From now on... we will become very difficult, and may even be unable to achieve results."
"All of this is my responsibility."
Lu Yu stared again; this Chen Hao... really never changes.
He is still that man bearing enormous pressure on his shoulders.
Lu Yu smiled, then rose from his seat and walked to stand in front of Chen Hao.
Chen Hao was sitting on the sofa, but Lu Yu still had to stand on tiptoe with effort to reach Chen Hao's shoulder.
He lightly patted Chen Hao's shoulder a few times, then smilingly said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Our project will definitely succeed!"
"Since we have the courage not to rely on others, we must have the resolve to succeed!"
Lu Yu's voice was extremely firm, as if he were stating something he had personally witnessed.
