It was supposed to meet during the day, but it wasn't until dark that Eric finally called.

"Make sure it's safe, meet at nine, but be prepared, things may change."

"What's wrong?"

Of course, Yang Yi had to figure out what was going on, and then Eric said in a slightly frustrated tone: "My friend was summoned by his boss, he was promoted, he got a new team to conduct his own research, I'm not sure if he would be willing to change jobs after getting promoted." ”

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, at this juncture, people who were originally not valued were promoted, and then hindered their poaching work, what a joke.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Eric said in a low voice: "I don't know, I haven't met him yet, I just said a few words on the phone, but in any case, you should be more prepared, at least to prepare more generous treatment for my friends than before, you just need to be mentally prepared." ”

After clarifying the meeting place, Yang Yi hung up the phone, then he raised his hand and touched his hair, cursed a few words in a low voice and stood on the side of the road.

Zhao Qiang didn't know where to come out, he stood beside Yang Yi and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"We met at nine o'clock, but something went wrong, and now I don't know if the problem is big, Li Wei has just been promoted and raised, and the introducer doesn't understand the situation, so he can't know if Li Wei is still willing to change jobs, I'll go, what a broken name!"

"It's good to get used to it, it's actually very convenient."

After Zhao Qianggan laughed twice, he said in a low voice: "It's okay, as long as Li Wei has the intention of changing jobs, as long as he is dissatisfied, as long as he still has the intention of changing jobs, then he will definitely be able to move him, let's go and meet, don't think too much about it now, you will know everything after you meet, by the way, what about your companion?" ”

Yang Yi looked around, but he didn't see Anton's figure, so he said in a low voice: "What are you looking for him?" ”

"Well, we're not very familiar with each other's styles after all, and to be honest, I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm worried that if something happens, your companion won't have time to react if it's too far away from us."

"You're worried about this, don't worry, as long as he has this responsibility, then he will definitely jump out when he needs to, whether it is to save us or kill us, he will definitely not miss."

Zhao Qiang smiled bitterly twice and said, "Then I'd better pray that he doesn't jump out." ”

Yang Yi and Zhao Qiang came to the meeting place that Eric said, a restaurant with no people.

By the time Yang Yi and Zhao Qiang arrived, Eric was already waiting there.

The time was 8:50, only Eric was alone, he stood up, and after inviting Yang Yi and Zhao Qiang to take a seat, Yang Yi pointed at Zhao Qiang and said, "Buyer, this is my friend and the middleman of this transaction." ”

Eric and Zhao Qiang didn't shake hands, the two of them just nodded to each other, and then Yang Yi said to Zhao Qiang: "My friend, you can call him Christmas tree, he sells some equipment, if you need it, you can find him, the price is guaranteed to be fair and delivered to the door, and the things are absolutely good." ”

Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "Can you leave a contact information?" ”

Eric nodded: "Of course, of course, but this is not in a hurry, let's talk about the current situation, my friend was originally unable to use his talent, he was very depressed about it, but just today, his boss suddenly told him that he can lead a design team alone, I think there will be some problems." ”

Zhao Qiang still looked very calm, and said: "I don't think it's a big problem, I'll know after I see him and talk a few words." ”

At this moment, the door of the restaurant opened again, and a man walked into the restaurant with his head down, after seeing Eric and Yang Yi sitting at the table, the man looked a little hesitant and panicked, and he seemed to be considering whether it was time to move on.

Eric stood up and said, "Ian, come and sit." ”

Ian has a beard, but it is not very thick, the clothes he wears are a little sloppy, a pair of jeans is dirty, and the T-shirt on his body looks a little cleaner.

Ian walked up to Eric and whispered, "Hello, I'm ......"

After spreading his hands, Ian still sat down, then he looked at Yang Yi and Zhao Qiang, and then whispered in a little panic: "I'm sorry, I, I'm ......"

Eric patted Ian on the shoulder and said with an easy-going expression: "Brother, don't be nervous, no one will force you, no one will force you to make a decision, just just talk casually, no matter what decision you make, just treat it as a gathering of friends." ”

Ian exhaled and said, "Okay, I'm a little ...... right now Don't know what to do anymore. ”

Eric smiled: "Don't worry, introduce yourself first, it's okay, just talk about your basic work." ”

Ian was naïve like a child in front of Eric and Yang Yi, the old oilmen, and he exhaled and whispered, "My name is Ian. McWarmy, I graduated from Imperial College London with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Materials, and now I work at Coleswell National Laboratory. ”

Yang Yi's heart was a little excited, and the fist placed under the table clenched involuntarily, the doctor of the Department of Materials, yes.

Ian looked at Zhao Qiang and Yang Yi who were silent, and then he said in a low voice: "I have worked in the Coswell laboratory for four years, and I feel that I am wasting my life and talent for four years, where everything is full of rotten atmosphere, but ......"

Yang Yi said in a low voice: "Sorry to interrupt, this laboratory doesn't seem to be very famous. ”

Eric shrugged his shoulders and said: "No, it's very famous, but this laboratory is a defense laboratory, funded by the British government, and is also responsible for developing the equipment needed for the intelligence department. ”

Yang Yi said abruptly: "Oh, no wonder, please continue." ”

Ian was interrupted, and he continued: "I don't like the working atmosphere inside, I don't like it very much, no one values your ability, where is the seniority, I don't think I want to be taken seriously until I am fifty, but I am only thirty-two years old this year, but I got a promotion today." ”

Ian looked at Eric, and then he whispered, "I used to be an assistant to the director of a laboratory, but today I am the head of an independent laboratory, and I think maybe it will be different in the future......"

Zhao Qiang said in a deep voice: "Ask a question, how many people do you have, how many research funds do you have, and what research projects do you have?" ”

Ian stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, "No one for the time being, the funds...... I don't have a research project either, but ......"

Zhao Qiang said in a deep voice: "You were tricked, man, your ability threatens your boss, so you were kicked out of the door, you can still carry out substantive work, and in the future, you can only waste your life in the laboratory you are responsible for, that's it." ”
