Chapter 385 - 385 Exchange Conference Craze

385 Exchange Conference Craze

The voices in his ears kept alternating, and Chu Qingyan appeared a little dazed.

A familiar figure soon appeared in his mind. It was Wu Mo, whom he had not seen for more than half a year.

Wu Mo’s image was imprinted in his mind. He imagined Wu Mo in dirty clothes and a depressed state, like an abandoned child.

“Hahaha… Wu Mo, oh, Wu Mo, I never thought you’d be reduced to this.

“If you had come to the Red Heart province like me, you would have at least become the head researcher’s a.s.sistant now.”

Chu Qingyan squinted as the fragrance of the woman in his arms filled his nose and made him feel a sense of superiority.

Compared to the pitiful Wu Mo, he was comparable to a phoenix that had risen to the heavens.

“Weren’t you great in the test field? Weren’t you able to suppress me back then? But now?

“You’re not even worthy of being my opponent. You’d better just be a good boy and disappear from the public eye.”

Chu Qingyan recalled how he had instructed his researchers to look into Wu Mo’s current situation two days ago.

To his surprise, after half a year, Wu Mo had been transferred from the Research Department without an independent project. He had begun working as a quality inspector in an armory instead.

When he received the results of his subordinates’ investigation, Chu Qingyan was in disbelief at first.

He had a.s.sumed that Wu Mo would at least get a position in the Fifth Research Department even if he did not gain the same opportunity as he did.

He never thought that Wu Mo would receive a transfer and become a dispensable worker.

However, he quickly accepted this fact. Although he felt a little regretful about losing his arch nemesis, he was still incredibly satisfied with Wu Mo’s fate.

Not only did he feel superior as a result, but he also believed that he had made an extremely wise decision back then.

As for Professor Tan, his former mentor, he would punish him in the future. He did not even have to consider it.

“Alright… The simulation test is over. We can go back now.”

As the screen in the command room dimmed, Chu Qingyan returned to reality.

He stood up with his arm around the woman’s waist and ordered his men to leave the command room immediately.

The afternoon sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly as Chu Wingyan and the woman beside him sat in the first military vehicle. Several members of the research team also got into other vehicles, and they all returned together.

…

“This year’s exchange conference will be held in the Red Heart province’s Federal Hall. A total of over 80 young blacksmiths have been invited to partic.i.p.ate in this year’s conference. According to the governor, this conference will introduce a completely new judging standard. We hope that the ambitious young people of White River will be able to obtain the best results at the conference.”

A host in a suit was reporting on the exchange conference on TV.

Right then, Little Yan was sitting on a stool while her mother was picking vegetables.

“Mom, the conference looks pretty important. I wonder if Brother will be attending?” Little Yan asked curiously.

Fang Huilan looked at her daughter, who was tilting her head to the side with a look of antic.i.p.ation. “Although your brother works in an inst.i.tution like the Research Department, a conference like this is obviously very important. Usually, only national leaders are invited. How could Little Mo attend?” she said helplessly.

“Oh, okay…”

Her mother’s answer made Wu Yan a little disappointed. However, she refused to give up and mumbled softly, “It’s hard to say. Brother got first place in the Divine Arms Academy. This exchange conference is obviously targeted at young blacksmiths. My brother might just attend it.

“Hmph…”

Pursing her lips, Wu Yan continued to watch the news report.

Fang Huilan could not help but laugh when she saw the cute way her daughter was mumbling.

Whether or not her son could make a name for himself was secondary to her. As long as he was healthy and able to visit them back home every year, everything was fine.

After all, for the last two years, it had been difficult for graduates to find a job despite the popularity of various industries. Every time she went out to buy vegetables, all the stalls would cut and pack everything up very nicely. Hence, she understood that there was huge compet.i.tion, and the young people faced enormous pressure.

There were only 20 days till the new year, and she could only hope that her son would return home soon.

…

The next morning, Wu Mo woke up in his soft, comfortable bed and saw the familiar, as well as s.p.a.cious, ceiling.

There were still 30 hours before the conference.

“Urgh… It looks like I slept a little late.”

Looking at the gentle light s.h.i.+ning through the gap in the curtain, Wu Mo rubbed his eyes and immediately got out of bed.

He opened the window first and basked in the sun. After every cell in his body woke up, he entered the bathroom to wash up.

After last night’s bath and eight hours of sleep, he was almost in tip-top shape.

He could enter working mode at any time, and staying in the Divine-grade Forging s.p.a.ce for 14 hours would not be a problem.

His body was filled with endless energy, and he felt at ease, as though he had just been reborn.

After he put on his coat, he subconsciously picked up his phone to check the time.

However, a missed call on the screen immediately caught his attention.

“It’s from Academician Xu… Looks like we’ll have to leave today.”

Once he put his phone back into his pocket, Wu Mo went downstairs to the living room.

The food in the refrigerator had been sitting there for two months. Although it did not appear rancid, Wu Mo still packed it up and threw it away just to be safe.

Fortunately, he had bought some premade food when he visited the cafeteria last night, so it was not a problem for him to have breakfast.

Right after breakfast, he went out and headed to Academician Xu’s office building.

At nine o’clock in the morning, uniformed staff could be seen everywhere in the Research Department.

However, most of them seemed calm, and they went about their work unhurriedly.

It was indeed different from the tense and orderly atmosphere in the armory.

If he had to choose, he would take the calmness of the Research Department.

A while later, Wu Mo arrived at Academician Xu’s office. As usual, he knocked on the door first.

He did not enter the room until he heard Academician Xu’s voice.

The situation today was a little different from the private conversation he had with Academician Xu yesterday.

This time, there were three other people in the office.

One of them was Old Wen, who had helped with the completion of the Spirit Wave Sword’s ma.s.s production.

The other two sitting on the couch were Professor Tan and a girl in her 20s. He had never seen her before.

Professor Tan was holding a cup of coffee and talking to Old Wen.

The young girl, on the other hand, was sitting next to Academician Xu. Based on the distance between them, it seemed that they had a good relations.h.i.+p.
