"You went to so much trouble to bring those overseas students back, and the day before yesterday, they all returned home safely."

Hearing Li Jue say this,

Xu Yun first froze instinctively, then his eyes widened.

"Director, what did you say? Those overseas students have returned?"

Honestly,

if he hadn't been unable to move because of the paralysis in his lower body, Xu Yun reckoned he would have jumped to his feet in excitement.

Yes, stood up.

Then he took a deep breath, braced both hands on the desk, and eagerly asked Li Jue,

"Director, how many students returned this time? Where are they now? How does the organization plan to assign them?"

Watching Xu Yun rattle off questions like a machine gun, Li Jue exchanged a glance with Qian Bingqiong, who had barely said a word beside him, then gestured toward him.

"Comrade Bingqiong, please explain the details."

Qian Bingqiong nodded politely to him.

Although Li Jue was nominally the dean of the Ninth Academy, his main focus at present was still the day-to-day management of Base 221.

Especially after the [Three Purities] project was established, nearly all the Ninth Academy personnel remaining in the capital had moved to the base. Li Jue's focus had shifted even further than before.

So matters concerning personnel outside the base were generally handled by Qian Bingqiong.

Take Old Guo, for example.

Old Guo had become the head of the fluid mechanics project because Qian Wushi recommended him and Qian Bingqiong vetted and approved the choice.

The overseas students who had returned home back then were another example.

The immediate cause of the wave of returning students had been the Open Letter to Our Fellow Students in the United States, published by 51 overseas students, including Zhu Guangya, Hua Luogeng, and Ge Tingui.
