Rebirth in the 1970s: Refusing to Be a Side Character

Chapter 49: The Person with a Secret

◎ Someone is secretly watching his wife ◎

At the end of September, in a secret laboratory at the Northwest Military District Research Institute.

Lu Jinzhou exuded a low-pressure aura as he sat in the center of the conference room with a dark expression on his face, causing everyone around him to barely dare breathe.

"Old Chen, such simple data, and you can't produce results in three days?

The state has invested a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources here. Is it just to let you guys loaf around?

I'm deeply disappointed in you all!"

Chen Xuemin, a towering figure in the field of physics, had never been spoken to like this before. Only Lu Jinzhou dared!

Instead of being angry, Chen Xuemin looked ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Director Lu. I'll make sure they reflect seriously on their mistakes.

Three days! No! Two days! I'll have it done in two days!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinzhou's tone softened a bit, and he proceeded to analyze the key points and difficulties with Chen Xuemin and his team to prevent further errors.

If they made another mistake, he would have to redo everything, further delaying his exit from the research facility.

Heaven knows it's been 15 days, 9 hours, and 41 minutes since he last held his sweet wife in his arms.

Chen Xuemin and the others immediately buckled down, putting all their energy into their work.

Three hours later, the meeting adjourned.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, everyone finally had the energy to quietly complain:

"With such complex engineering data, how could anyone expect us to complete it in three days? Director Lu's expectations are too high!"

"Why not? Director Lu completed two-thirds of the data by himself in just two days."

"We have so many people, and our workload is only half of Director Lu's. Three days is more than enough; we should be grateful!"

"It's not the same at all!"

"Exactly! None of us together could match Director Lu's abilities; he's simply not a normal person!"

"But we still have Old Chen! He counts as half of Director Lu."

"So you're saying that even with Old Chen, the rest of us 17 people combined still can't match half of Director Lu?"

"..."

Everyone fell silent collectively, because the truth was right in front of them.

It was better to quickly eat and then return to work hard!

Half a month later, amidst cheers, the project was finally a complete success.

Watching the excited crowd, Lu Jinzhou left the laboratory without looking back, getting into his car to head home.

The only words that could describe his feelings at this moment: "Eager to return!"

Chen Xuemin turned around, hoping to properly thank Lu Jinzhou, but he was already gone.

Unaware, the others sighed about Director Lu's high moral character and reluctance for recognition, skipping the celebration party and leaving the limelight for Old Chen.
