Chapter 377 Mom, I'm Sorry—Jin Ling Invites
Zhou Leng ignored his cheap father who wanted to divorce again. His grandparents called him several times to talk about Liu Changli's difficulties. Their intention was obvious, asking their grandson not to hate and look down on his father. Zhou Leng naturally went along with what they said and dealt with it vaguely.
If Zhou Leng was really Liu Zimo, who was still young and immature, his thoughts might be influenced by his grandparents who loved him, but he was Zhou Leng, and the scale in his heart did not fluctuate at all.
Tao Yan already knew about her son's current work situation, but she was not nervous or worried. After all, the family savings, even if they earned interest from the bank, were enough for their daily life. What's more, she was now half a boss. Her son had had a hard time in recent years, and now he could take this opportunity to relax.
Zhou Leng knocked on Jin Ling's door carrying some fruits. He was invited today, so he just bought some fruits downstairs and went to the appointment.
"Gold, open the door."
After the door opened, he saw Jin Ling's lightly made-up face and decent clothes. Thinking of her usual messy greasy hair and wrinkled pajamas, he felt that there was something fishy going on today.
Jin Ling looked at the person who turned around and left instead of changing shoes. She stepped forward, grabbed the person's clothes and whispered:
"Now that you're here, don't spoil the fun."
Although Zhou Leng had no idea what the situation was, after his instinct to leave failed, he raised his head and smoothed back his unwashed hair, straightened his back, shook the plastic bag in his hand, and walked into the door with his head held high.
Jin Cheng and a middle-aged man in his forties were sitting in the living room. Zhou Leng knew who that man was. He was a senior executive of the institute and the leader of the leader of his former leader.
After everyone sat down, Jin Cheng was the first to speak: "Today is the family dinner, and I have prepared some good wine."
He turned his head and said to the middle-aged man, "I have watched Zimo grow up since he was a child. He is a true genius. His current situation has a lot to do with his personality. Geniuses always have different persistence and views from ordinary people, and are ignorant of some common rules and order. After all, I recommended Zimo to the institute. Today, I will host you and let you meet and have a chat to clear up this misunderstanding."
Zhou Leng turned his head to look at his mentor. When he left the institute, he asked the reason but did not interfere too much. Now he is like this probably because he is afraid that he will just remain ordinary.
The middle-aged man beside Jin Cheng smiled and said to Zhou Leng: "Zimo, I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are a young talent and a pillar of the country!"
"Chief Engineer Zhao, how dare I do that in front of you?"
Chief Engineer Zhao smiled and shook his head. He said with emotion:
"It's been a long time now. We have a loophole, and the whole institute has worked together to solve it, but we still can't solve it. Now we need your basic logic and ideas when you first wrote the program, and sort out which link has gone wrong. Of course, this requires your help. On behalf of the institute, I formally invite you to come back."
Chief Engineer Zhao saw Zhou Leng's calm face. He paused and said:
"I think you are not adapting well to your original work environment and duties. When you return, you can work directly in my team. Talented young people like you are exactly what our team needs."
I don't know if he really values talent or if he's doing Jincheng's favor, but Chief Engineer Zhao gave him very generous conditions. He can directly join the chief engineer team and get in touch with and learn a lot of things. If Zhou Leng works step by step and works overtime, maybe he can join the chief engineer team in ten years. It's not that he is not good enough, but that he needs to accumulate experience.
Jin Cheng understood Zhou Leng. Seeing his beloved disciple thinking, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Zhao, you are giving your child opportunities as well as pressure. But I believe Zimo can adapt quickly. Their generation is much more confident than ours, especially in their attitude towards foreign countries and technical issues. Confidence is often the beginning of success."
After much thought, Zhou Leng decided to go back to work at the research institute. He had paid too much to learn professional knowledge in this life, and he must put his knowledge into practice to live up to himself.
"It is my honor to join Mr. Zhao's team. I will definitely live up to the cultivation of my two mentors."
Jin Cheng patted Zhou Leng's shoulder. He watched Jin Ling grow up, and he actually wanted to bring Zhou Leng and Jin Ling together, but there was no spark between the two of them.
After the discussion was over, the four of them moved to the restaurant. They had a sumptuous high-end takeout meal and drank the fine wine that Jincheng had brought and had stored for more than ten years.
The spicy wine went down Jin Ling's throat, choking her and bringing tears to her eyes.
"You guys drink it, I'm not worthy of it."
After the three men had a few drinks, they started talking more.
Chief Engineer Zhao said to Jin Cheng, "You are really good at coaching students. When we were young, we chose different paths. Several backbones of our institute were trained by your team. But I didn't expect you to introduce your favorite student to our institute. I thought you would let Zimo stay in school."
Zhou Leng turned his head to look at Jincheng. From what Chief Engineer Zhao said, the other party already knew about him?
Jin Cheng raised his glass and clinked it with the other party. He smiled very calmly. As the mellow wine went down his throat, he said cheerfully, "This road is not for everyone. Zimo is suitable for the research institute. I just didn't expect that your research institute..."
Jin Cheng didn't continue.
Chief Engineer Zhao sighed and said helplessly: "The research institute is like a machine that keeps running. It is inevitable that there will be some minor faults after a long time. As long as the machine can run, it will not matter so much. Where there are people, there will be disputes. The research institute is actually a place with relatively few conflicts. Your school is not a pure land either!"
The topic ended here, and the three of them clinked their glasses and drank it all, without continuing the unfinished words.
Zhou Leng didn't know how Jin Cheng introduced him before he joined the company, or whether he asked him to take care of him.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the only people who are sober now are Zhou Leng and Jin Ling.
Jin Cheng held Zhou Leng with one hand and Jin Ling with the other. His eyes were blurry and he said incoherently, "You two must be good to each other in the future. Your uncle, no, uncle, is really good to you from the bottom of his heart. As long as you know it in your heart, that's enough."
Zhou Leng watched Jin Cheng put their hands together. He turned his head with horror and saw Jin Ling, who was not shy and looked equally terrified. They both pulled their hands apart in tacit understanding and rubbed the places where they had touched on their clothes.
"Well, you take care of Teacher Jin, and I'll take Chief Engineer Zhao home."
"Yeah, go ahead. Um... Um, don't get me wrong. I really don't like you. I've always treated you as my younger brother."
Zhou Leng breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was a charming man. It was great that Jin Ling didn't let her uncle..., that's great!
Zhou Leng helped Chief Engineer Zhao out of the door, turned around and looked at Jin Ling with clear eyes, saying: "Jin Zi, you have to maintain the status quo. After all, I am indeed excellent and handsome, humorous and rich. Maintain your sisterly love for me."
Zhou Leng closed the door in time, and a slipper hit the door. The clanging sound even reached outside the door. One could tell from the sound that the owner was angry.
