Joining the Dragon Science Institute!

Su Chen looked at the elderly man in the Tang suit and frowned slightly.

He had seen this old man yesterday at the photography studio where he and Yan Bingxue had taken their wedding photos.

Though it had only been a passing glance, he had activated the system now, and his memory was far better than before.

So even someone he had only glanced at once, he could remember immediately.

He had never expected this old man to be the president of the Dragon Science Institute!

It seemed the old man had come looking for him after hearing his conversation with Cui Haoyu at the photography studio yesterday.

Then he had gone back and discussed it with others, only to discover that Su Chen's remarks about mechas had been incredibly insightful!

That was why he had come specifically to speak with him today.

After figuring that out, Su Chen nodded at the old man. "Sure!"

The Dragon Science Institute was enormously important to the entire Dragon Nation.

After all, this was a high-tech world.

Whichever country possessed superior technology could claim a greater voice in the world and bring more benefits and security to its people.

Therefore, Su Chen held the scientists of the Dragon Science Institute in the highest regard!

After Su Chen left with Elder Yuan, his classmates in the private room collectively erupted in shock.

"Oh my god! The president of the Dragon Science Institute came looking for Su Chen! He wants to talk to him!"

"The Dragon Science Institute is the top research institution in our Dragon Nation! It has the most mysterious and advanced mecha research!"

"Could it be that Su Chen wasn't bragging when he said he worked in the Mecha Research Department at Chaofan Group? Was it actually true?!"

"It has to be true!"

"Oh my god! Su Chen is incredible!"

"I admire him so much!"

"Oh my god, I never imagined that while we studied automotive research in college, Su Chen had quietly been researching mechas!"

"This is too shocking!"

Listening to the girls, Wan Pin was furious.

"You women really are all hair and no brains!"

"You've obviously been fooled by Su Chen's looks. Didn't you hear what Young Master Lin's uncle said just now? Su Chen was just bragging! He never even joined Chaofan Group!"

"As for this old man, he said he was the president of the Dragon Science Institute, and you actually believed him?"

"Maybe he and that old man's assistant were actors Su Chen hired to put on a show!"

Ge Yu snorted. "Hah! Wan Pin, you're such a frog at the bottom of a well! How could someone like you possibly understand how amazing Brother Su is?"

Wan Pin rolled his eyes. "I'm a frog at the bottom of a well? Heh! If I'm a frog at the bottom of a well, then aren't you a cockroach at the bottom of one?!"

Ge Yu did not continue arguing with him. He merely looked at Wan Pin as if he were an idiot.

What he cared about now was that the president of the Dragon Science Institute had actually come personally to see Brother Su.

It looked like Brother Su had become insanely awesome!

He had brought so much honor to their dorm room~~

A female classmate suddenly pointed at the ignored television, her face full of shock. "Oh my god! Look! The person on TV is that old man from just now!"

Everyone turned to look and saw that the television was playing a CCTV interview program.

The old man was the interviewee, and beneath him was his title—President of the Mecha Research Branch of the Dragon Science Institute!

"It's real! He really is the president of the Dragon Science Institute! This is a CCTV interview show! It can't possibly be fake!"

"Oh my god, this is so shocking!"

"A huge figure like the president of the Dragon Science Institute actually appeared right in front of me! I saw him with my own eyes!!"

"What's even more amazing is that the president of the Dragon Science Institute personally came to find Su Chen!!!"

"Then he must be talking with Su Chen about mecha research!"

"Classmate Su really can build mechas!"

"My god, that's so cool!"

Whether they were girls or boys, aside from Lin Tianxiang, Wan Pin, and Chen Guang, everyone else was so excited that their eyes shone.

Their eyes were filled with admiration for Su Chen.

Then, a jarring ringtone suddenly interrupted the classmates' shock. Lin Tianxiang's phone was ringing.

Lin Tianxiang was already in a bad mood. When he saw that it was his uncle from earlier, he deliberately turned on the speaker again.

He wanted all his classmates to know that even if the president of the Dragon Science Institute had personally come looking for Su Chen—

Su Chen had still been bragging!

Su Chen did not work at Chaofan Group at all!

"Tianxiang, sorry about that. My friend at Chaofan Group just called me again and said they really do have a new employee named Su Chen. But he entered the Mecha Research Department as soon as he arrived. You know how secretive Chaofan Group's Mecha Research Department is, so ordinary employees don't know about it. He only found out after asking someone higher up."

"Tianxiang, your classmate is impressive! Is he your university classmate? You should build a good relationship with him. Maybe he can look after you in the future!"

With a buzz, Lin Tianxiang's mind exploded. He hastily hung up, but all the classmates had heard every word.

"Holy shit! Brother Su really wasn't joking! He really joined Chaofan Group's Mecha Research Department! Even the president of the Dragon Science Institute came looking for him. Brother Su is way too awesome!"

"This is unbelievable! Our third-tier college actually produced a mecha genius! Brother Su is incredible!"

The three roommates wore expressions of immense pride as they provocatively looked at Wan Pin and Lin Tianxiang. "Well? Brother Su really is awesome. Do you understand now?"

At that very moment, the awesome Su Chen was speaking with Elder Yuan in another private room.

"So what you mean is, you heard my theories about mechas yesterday and want to recruit me into the Mecha Research Branch of the Dragon Science Institute?" Su Chen asked.

Elder Yuan nodded. "Mr. Su, you seemed to be in a hurry to collect your marriage certificate at the time, so I didn't disturb you. After I went back, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. The Dragon Nation has a remarkable young man like you, with such profound insights into mechas. I believe our nation's mecha technology will definitely achieve a breakthrough."

"Mr. Su, I know you have already joined Chaofan Group's Mecha Research Department."

"The Dragon Nation's leaders greatly support Chaofan Group's research into mechas, and private-sector research does not conflict with the Dragon Science Institute's work. A talent like you, Mr. Su, could join our Dragon Science Institute even as a consultant. You wouldn't need to come in every day."

"As for compensation, what the Dragon Science Institute offers is not merely financial or material. Mr. Su, as long as you are willing to join the Dragon Science Institute, you may make any request. An annual salary of two million is the baseline. If you achieve a major breakthrough, all intellectual property rights and income will belong to you personally. Furthermore, the Dragon Nation places great importance on high-tech talent, so your housing in Zhonghai can also be arranged."

"I wonder whether you would be willing to join the Dragon Science Institute?"

"I sincerely invite you to join us."

Housing prices in Zhonghai were practically sky-high. A decent location cost hundreds of thousands per square meter, while even remote areas cost tens of thousands. Some people worked their entire lives and still could not afford a home. With purchase restrictions in place now, even having money did not necessarily mean one could buy a house.

Housing was undoubtedly the issue modern graduates cared about most, and now the country was directly resolving it for Su Chen!

However, Su Chen did not value that much. With the system at his side, he could casually obtain a luxury car worth 170 million. A house would certainly be no problem.

To be honest, Su Chen was extremely excited right now.

As a man, as a young citizen of the Dragon Nation, he had actually been personally invited by the president of the Dragon Science Institute to join it!

This was something that would bring honor to his ancestors!

It made him feel even more honored than gaining the system!

Because this was the pride of being a citizen of the Dragon Nation!

He immediately said to Elder Yuan with great solemnity, "Elder Yuan, I am willing to join the Dragon Science Institute!"

"The country has nurtured talents like us, and I have been waiting for the day I could serve my motherland!"

"I work at Chaofan Group now, so I will serve as a Mecha Consultant for the Dragon Science Institute. Though I cannot work there every day, as long as the Dragon Science Institute needs me, I, Su Chen, will never refuse!"

"Everything I know about mechas—so long as it can help advance our nation's mecha technology—I will certainly help!"

Elder Yuan looked at him excitedly, deeply astonished by Su Chen's patriotism.

He immediately said with immense excitement, "Good! Mr. Su, you truly are the pride of the Dragon Nation! Rest assured, the Dragon Nation will never mistreat you!"

"Alright, then it's settled. When I have time later, I'll visit the Dragon Science Institute to complete the paperwork. Today is my university classmates' farewell dinner, so I'll take my leave first."

"Alright, then I'll see you out." Elder Yuan personally stood up and walked out with Su Chen.
