Chapter 205 I’ve been waiting for you for a long time

After returning from the nursing home, Chen Nian always felt uneasy.

Time.

Time is the biggest enemy.

Before, he had never thought about using any method to "extend lifespan" because he felt that it would be some kind of blasphemy against his predecessors before the technology matured.

But now, he really hopes there is a way to make them live longer.

There are too many things that I want them to see.

There is still so much future that I want them to experience.

Unfortunately, they couldn't wait too long.

This is probably the fate of heroes.

After lighting the spark, the bones were buried in the burning land. If future generations want to see them again, they can only see them in the fire.

——

But fortunately, the flame never went out.

Chen Nian breathed a long sigh of relief and left a new note in his notebook:

Even if the fire will eventually go out, keep the flame burning!

He closed the notebook and glanced at the time. It was already noon, and the sun outside the window was scorching. He subconsciously pushed open the window and stretched his hand out of the window to feel the heat of the sun.

At this moment, he truly realized how fast time was passing.

It seems that not long ago, he was wearing thick clothes and drinking New Year's Eve drinks with a few friends in his room. In the blink of an eye, it was time to spend the summer vacation again.

Thinking of this, he called several friends one by one and asked them about their summer vacation arrangements.

On the one hand, Wang Jiancheng was assisting the Yujing project, and on the other hand, he was working on his passive mechanical exoskeleton with sufficient scientific research funds. He was so busy that he naturally would not rest.

Qiu Mai's project has not made much progress, but there are many things to do, so he plans to go back to school for a week or two before returning to school.

As for Li Xiang.

After officially joining the intelligence department, Li Xiang's work became even busier. Even weekends became a luxury, and rest was impossible.

As Chen Nian expected, he chose to stay in school.

However, when talking about his reasons, he was still secretive and unwilling to reveal them.

Maybe I should find an opportunity to bring him into the Spark team?

Judging from the report of the last public opinion offensive, Li Xiang's talent is extremely amazing.

He even put forward corresponding strategies before the experienced bosses could react, and also predicted the opponent's trump card.

His superiors spoke highly of him, and he was indispensable for being able to turn the situation around.

Such a person is exactly what the Spark Team lacks.

After all, although the current Spark is still an organization marked by a "technical capability center", it is obvious that the goal of Spark must be to transform into a "coordinating center" and "decision-making center", which means that to the outside world, especially

Anticipating the enemy is also extremely important.

Therefore, dragging Li Xiang into Xinghuo is not actually a back door.

It should be said that he fought for it himself.

Chen Nian couldn't help but find it a bit funny. When this brother first came here, he was still ambitious to build the F-22, but he was overtaken by him. By chance, his ability tree was completely distorted.

It's a different approach.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian picked up the phone again and called the general manager Chen Guo.

After the call was connected, he said bluntly:

"Professor Chen, I would like to come in personally and ask for your opinion."

"Who do you want? Just tell me and I will make arrangements."

Chen Guo answered without hesitation.

"Li Xiang, do you think it's okay?"

"Ah? Who told you? Did you receive the message?"

Chen Guo's voice on the other side was a little surprised, while Chen Nian was baffled.

"What's the news? You guys want him to come in?"

"Yeah, the Intelligence Department just mentioned it to me. It hasn't been 24 hours yet. I'm still thinking about it. I originally wanted to ask your opinion. You didn't know? Is it a coincidence?"

Chen Nian nodded subconsciously and replied:

"Yes, I just thought of it - I called him just now to ask him about his summer vacation arrangements."

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Guo breathed a sigh of relief and said.

In fact, Chen Nian also guessed what he was worried about.

It was simply because there was a problem with internal confidentiality that someone provided Chen Nian with information that should not have been provided at this point in time.

——

Of course, as the soul and core of Xinghuo, Chen Nian has 100% right to know. He is only worried about abnormalities in the so-called "information channels".

To put it simply, Chen Nian can ask at any time, and he can speak at any time.

But the information must not leak out without Chen Nian asking or him telling it.

After a moment of pause, Chen Guo continued:

"Then let me make arrangements. We have actually been considering this issue for some time."

"He had closer contact with you, and at the very beginning, you know, he had more information."

"So actually we have been thinking of ways to restrict him, and now it would be the best way to directly make him one of our own."

After hearing his words, Chen Nian hummed and replied:

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble. By the way, where are the other people? Wang Jiancheng? Qiu Mai?"

"Let's not use them for the time being. Wang Jiancheng is already in the Yujing project team, so there is no need to worry about confidentiality."

"As for Qiu Mai, I feel like she is not qualified to enter Starfire yet. Can she train for a while longer?"

"Okay, let's test the waters with Li Xiang first. Should we contact him? Or should you tell him yourself?"

As soon as this question came up, Chen Nian hesitated.

If we follow the normal process, the organization must have gone through a comprehensive review first, and then Li Xiang's superiors will come out to have a heart-to-heart talk, talking about things like "I want to put more burdens on you" and "The organization trusts you very much".

"If there is an opportunity for advancement, do you want it?" and so on.

Then, according to Li Xiang's personal wishes, the organization department will make arrangements and handle the specific procedures.

But now

Spark's organizational structure is rather special. To use the words of the era I came from, it is relatively flat.

The process of decision-making, appointment and dismissal is relatively simple. As long as the two hard indicators of review and ability can be passed, it is basically a matter of one sentence for anyone to ask.

Therefore, it is not so sensitive to ask whoever is responsible for this.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Nian finally spoke:

"Follow the normal process. He is still young after all. You need to give him time to think about it."

"If you really join Xinghuo, you can't help yourself with many things."

Chen Guo on the other end of the phone laughed.

"What you said is as if you are old."

"Okay, then I will arrange for the organization department to contact him. After the matter is settled, I will arrange for you to meet with him?"

"We are all one of our own, so there is no need to hide it. Let's give him an internal first-level authority, right?"

"Don't worry, this is not a back door, as I said, it's mainly to facilitate our management of him."

"clear."

Chen Nian nodded, and the two discussed some more details before hanging up the phone.

At this time, Li Xiang still didn't know that his own destiny would usher in a huge breakthrough.

A few days later, in an office outside NPU.

Li Xiang sat quietly in the middle, looking slightly nervous.

Just two days ago, he was called to the office by Hu Likai. After talking a lot of clichés, he finally told him that his superiors had other arrangements for his work and would contact him after passing the review in the near future.

After hearing this, Li Xiang felt anxious.

According to his superficial understanding of the system, when a leader says something like this, there are generally only two possibilities.
