Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 181: Spying

　　Hogan is helpless.

　　He can do experiments, he can kiss his boss's ass, but spying on the enemy is a little too technical for his EQ.

　　But there's no way around it: for a PhD student, the boss's orders are usually the ones that have to be followed.

　　However, Hubery was kind enough to reimburse him for the high-speed train ticket, so at least he didn't have to pay for the trip out of his own pocket.

　　In fact, there were many ways to find out the research progress of a research institute. For example, the simplest and most brutal, directly provide two or three times the salary from the opponent's laboratory to recruit people, although the reputation is not good, but it is also the most efficient approach.

　　Moreover, if the salary is not high, no one will be stupid enough to resign from Orion and join his mentor.

　　No matter how you think about it, an international "Nobel Prize" scholar is much more attractive than Hubery, who is just a "scholar" with some status in France. So, Hubery didn't even consider that idea, and asked Hogan to spy on it instead.

　　To be honest, it was the most inefficient and stupid way.

　　When Hogan arrived at the downstairs of the Institute for Computational Materials, he was hesitant to do this almost impossible task when someone called out behind him.

　　"Hey, what are you doing here?"

　　Startled by the voice, Hogan immediately turned around, only to see a doctoral student standing behind him, looking as if he was here to work.

　　"I ......"

　　Just as Hogan was racking his brain to make up a reason, the doctoral student sized up Hogan for a couple of moments, and suddenly looked as if he understood something and opened his mouth to ask.

　　"Are you here to apply for a job?"

　　Hearing these words, Hogan was delighted and immediately nodded his head quickly, following his words.

　　"Right, right! I heard that this place is recruiting researchers, so I'm here to apply for the job."

　　That doctor smiled and said, "Really applying for a job? But it's not that easy to get in here, where did you graduate from? Resume and materials with so?"

　　"Ford university, PhD ...... didn't bring my CV, I just came here today to have a look, I haven't made a decision yet." Hogan smiled apologetically and made up a reason to say.

　　"Ford university, good good, Ford university's material major is still quite strong," the doctor nodded, "However, compared with us, it is still a little worse."

　　Hogan just wanted to curse " bullshit", but quickly thought of his mission today, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

　　Not wanting to waste any more time on this topic, he quickly changed the subject.

　　"How is your treatment here?"

　　The doctoral student looked at Hogan with suspicion, thinking that this guy had come to apply for a job, did he not even read the recruitment guidelines? The treatment was clearly written on it.

　　Nevertheless, he answered the question.

　　"Different positions have different salaries, Ford university PhD ...... starting salary is about twelve thousand per month, as for the research funds and patent rewards, this depends on your ability and is calculated separately."
