After the mad ghost left, the group of people did not encounter any blocking forces along the way.
This also greatly improved the movement speed of several people, and they arrived at the Defense Department in a short time.
Looking at the familiar door, Li Yi suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
If he had rejected Director Ye's proposal with reason, he should be leisurely drinking coffee and doing experiments in the laboratory of the Defense Department, right?
"Hey! Someone's coming."
Liu Xiaohua poked Li Yi and prompted.
Several heavily armed soldiers raised their guns and surrounded the three of them. The leader shouted loudly: "Who is he? Dare to hang around in front of the Defense Department."
Li Yi immediately raised his hand after hearing this: "Brother, don't be impulsive, I am one of my own."
"One of our own?"
The soldier glanced at Li Yi doubtfully, as if he had thought of something, and after speaking a few words into the intercom, he immediately became happy.
"It turns out to be Researcher Li, you are finally back!"
"Yes, I'm back."
Soon, several people were invited into the Defense Department. Liu Xiaohua and Xue Wu were placed at the reception desk, while Li Yi followed the soldier directly to the experimental area.
There, he did not see Director Ye, but Zheng Jie, Deputy Director Zheng.
"Director Zheng, why are you here? That...where is the director?"
To be honest, not only Li Yi, but also the original Li Jingze had not had much contact with Deputy Director Zheng.
He only knew that this was a person who rarely appeared in the Defense Department. Apart from knowing that his status in the Defense Department was second only to Director Ye, he had no more information.
In other words, Li Yi knew nothing about Deputy Director Zheng, whether it was his identity, strength, or the forces he belonged to.
When he didn't see Director Ye for the first time, Li Yi felt something was wrong.
When the soldier brought him directly to Deputy Director Zheng, he even noticed something unusual in the atmosphere.
This kind of atmosphere has the feeling that the storm is coming and the building is filled with wind.
Deputy Director Zheng is a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses who looks very elegant. His dimples appear when he smiles.
Originally, this kind of appearance combined with his own temperament is the kind of appearance that makes people fall in love easily with just one glance.
It's a pity that the dimples that were originally a bonus point have become a factor that greatly reduces the impression on this face.
This was Li Yi's first impression of Deputy Director Zheng.
This smile reminded him of a villain.
"Come on, Xiao Li, sit down and sit down, don't be so formal."
Deputy Director Zheng was very enthusiastic. Instead of assigning tasks or asking about progress like Director Ye, he invited Li Yi to sit down with a smile.
"Xiao Li, speaking of which, you must be unfamiliar with me, right?"
"Well, I'm really not familiar with it." Li Yi replied honestly. He felt that it would be better to tell the truth at this time, because he still didn't know what the other party's plans were.
"Haha, I told you, you don't have to be so restrictive here. The director is not here and there aren't that many rules. If you want to say anything or have any requests, just ask them."
Li Yi stared at Deputy Director Zheng for a long time, and found that the other person did not look impatient at all, or even showed any discomfort, which made him sure of one thing.
This matter is not that simple!
Deputy Director Zheng obviously had some purpose for coming here for him.
"Director, since you said so, I won't be polite."
After understanding this, Li Yi no longer hesitated and took a very comfortable posture according to his favorite posture.
"I'm not saying that this business trip almost cost me my life. Although it is the purpose of the Defense Agency to make its own contribution to human sacrifice, people's lives cannot be in vain, right? Others Don’t tell me, just this time…”
Zheng Bo on the side didn't seem to have any impatience on the surface. He was still looking at Li Yi who was talking endlessly and spitting all over the sky with a smile on his face.
However, in fact, Deputy Director Zheng Bo had already cursed in secret.
What kind of crappy assignment is this? Why should I, a dignified deputy director and a person with a high status in the organization, be groveling to such a little researcher who doesn’t know the heights of the world?
You also have to pretend to be approachable!
What’s the point!
When he accepted the task, he raised his own questions.
The boss whom he had never met and only heard his voice gave him only one answer:
Complete the mission well. As long as you complete it, you can be promoted to at least three levels and become a high-level organizational leader. If you cannot successfully complete the mission... then there is no need to come back.
After hearing this, Zheng Bo finally realized that the organization's emphasis on this mission far exceeded his imagination.
It was only because of his unique conditions that he had the identity of the Defense Agency and was in a high position that he received the mission.
Most people don't even think about it.
So he really started to take it seriously, firmly remembering these conditions and requirements, and carefully "serving" them, not daring to reveal even half of his true thoughts.
He was careful here, but Li Yi didn't know at all that the deputy director came with an unknown mission. At least he was very polite on the surface.
Since you are polite, I will not be polite at all.
After nagging for a long time and pouring out his grievances, Li Yi took the time to glance at the other party but didn't notice any impatience at all. He said to himself that this mysterious deputy director had a much better temper than Director Ye, so he would come to him without any conditions. Bar?
"Director, look, I've suffered so much, so it's not too much to ask for something, right?"
Zheng Bo on the side felt sleepy after hearing this, but he still managed to put on a smile with his eyelids open. Seeing that the other party finally changed the topic, he immediately became energetic. However, after hearing that the new topic was a request, his smiling face remained tense. After barely twitching for a while, he smiled again.
"Okay, okay, you say it, you say it, as long as I... ah no, as long as the department can satisfy it, just bring it up."
At this time, he desperately hoped that the other party would end the conversation as soon as possible so that he could put forward his own conditions at the end, and judging from the other party's appearance, he obviously expected it.
Now that you already know the general idea and dare to put forward conditions, it means that the probability of the other party accepting your conditions is very high.
Then it means that the probability of completing the task is greatly improved!
When he thought of this, Deputy Director Zheng became excited.
Upgraded three levels in a row!
I'm afraid this is the only opportunity in my life to become a top executive in an organization.
Definitely not to be missed!
"Since you agree, Director, then I will really say it!"
Li Yi pretended not to see the other party's excited expression, but still looked aggrieved, as if he had been wronged and was complaining to the leader to make amends.
In fact, as early as when he was vomiting bitterness, he was already secretly observing the other party's reaction and expression.
I found that not only did the other party not have any impatience, he was also very cooperative with what he said and expressed his agreement from time to time.
This is nothing at all. Isn’t this how most people chat?
But the strange thing is that he and Director Zheng Bo have never known each other before. Although they both belong to the Defense Department, they are two people who are incompatible with each other.
Even at work, the two had no chance to meet.
Let alone in private.
But the deputy director, whom he had never met before, showed enthusiasm for him, an ordinary researcher who couldn't be more ordinary.
What's more, according to the classification, he still belongs to Director Ye's group. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who can be won over.
At this point, Li Yi also figured it out.
This deputy director must have some plot against him.
The reason why I haven't said anything yet is that maybe I have a big plan.
With this idea in mind, Li Yi had no idea what he was talking about.
"You see, I have been wandering outside for so long. Not only have I delayed my research progress, but I have also wasted a lot of energy. Isn't this a little compensation?"
"Also, I know that computing power is tight now, but for such a long time, no one was caught. Instead, the military department took the lead. In order not to make mistakes in the future, it is nothing to use more computing power, right? Besides, This is for the sake of our Defense Department."
"Now that it's all said and done, shouldn't I be given more of the genetic potion I wanted last time? You know, I've suffered a lot during this trip. If there are genetic potions, besides those doing research, , I can also use some myself, and at least I can increase my self-protection power, right?"
"Also, as for money and status, I'm not greedy about these. I can be promoted to a first-level researcher, and then during my absence, I will be paid according to the first-level treatment. This will not be a problem, right? "
Having said this, Li Yi looked suspiciously at Deputy Director Zheng, who had an uncertain face and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Director, you don't have the authority to approve so many resources at once, do you?"
"Who said that! Who said it wasn't? I really approved it!"
Zheng Bo, who was still not sure whether he was entangled or distressed, immediately jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on when he heard this. He blurted out without thinking.
It wasn't until he saw Li Yi's treacherous smile that Zheng Bo realized that he had been tricked.
