Chapter 520 - 228: A Generous Display of Friendship
```
"What's going on here? What were you all thinking? Do you not see people as human beings? With this kind of mess, do you know that Qiao was on the brink of resigning? To have caused such trouble and leaving it to an old man like me who's about to retire to clean up? How can you have the nerve!
By the time I got there, Qiao Ze was determined to resign, and if it weren't for me, begging and weeping there, his resignation letter would have already been slapped on our faces! Yes, transferring Qiao Ze to a bigger stage in the Capital has its benefits, but first, you could at least find someone appropriate to consult him, couldn't you?
Oh, just sending someone to spout nonsense in front of Professor Qiao, how is that not looking down on our star professor that we in the School of Mathematics have carefully cultivated? Do you think it's easy for our School of Mathematics to nurture talent? And this is how you treat him?
In any case, I've put my face on the line, and Qiao Ze has only agreed to consider it temporarily. I'm unable to keep him here. Leaders, if you think you have the ability, why don't you give Qiao Ze a call, get him to come back!
But it doesn't matter anymore. If Qiao Ze insists on resigning, I don't intend to continue as the dean either. Qiao Ze plans to go to Xilin Licheng and start his own research institute, and inviting me to be the dean there actually sounds pretty good. It'll save me from this crap and from being a man who can't please anyone!
...
The entire conference room was filled with Xu Dajiang's roaring voice.
In fact, since the dean of the School of Mathematics had walked in, he had become the undisputed protagonist of the meeting room.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if ready to tear someone apart.
He indeed looked like someone who had been greatly wronged.
The sound of the door closing was loud, enough to let someone feel the surging anger.
There were certainly flaws, but the sudden situation had already made many people restless.
Not to mention Xu Dajiang's performance today had become so exaggerated that it no longer seemed like acting.
Combined with the stereotype of Qiao Ze's personality, it seemed not impossible that Xu Dajiang had suffered at Qiao's hands.
Most importantly, Xu Dajiang, after all, was the dean of a renowned university's secondary school. People at that level care about their reputation. Who would perform this kind of drama, crying and causing a scene, if they hadn't been wronged?
One man and two women...
The man was definitely Qiao Ze.
Although Lu Zhongguo had been mentally preparing himself since last night, when he actually met Qiao Ze face-to-face and saw that young, green face that was not much older than his own son, he was at a loss for words.
Too stunned!
Around the same age, his own son was still asking him for money to sing "Father" at KTV and play the self-pity game, while someone else's child had already helped his family achieve financial freedom early. A visit from his company was arranged with the CEO personally sending someone to receive them.
The images flashing through his mind were too impactful, and Lu Zhongguo didn't know how to start talking. Plus, Qiao Ze wasn't good at socializing either, so when they met, they actually just stood there, frozen.
Fortunately, a little girl with eyes curving into crescents when she smiled knew how to speak up.
"You must be Uncle Lu that Uncle Fan mentioned yesterday, right? Thank you for today!"
"Oh, no trouble, no trouble at all. I'm a bit tongue-tied, just now I was surprised to see how young Professor Qiao is, about the same age as my son... Ah, that's not what I meant... What I'm trying to say is..."
As Lu Zhongguo awkwardly began scratching his head, Qiao Ze interrupted the flustered engineer, "It's okay. Let's go inside."
"Sure, sure, this way, please," Lu Zhongguo said, grateful for the reprieve.
Meeting people was his biggest headache, but once inside the factory, he would be much more at ease – that was his turf.
...
"This is our R&D building within the factory area. The design department is inside. Currently, our main designs are using CAD/CAM systems, which allow for the automated manufacturing of some sensitive robot parts. Also, the robot's ROS and HMI were both designed and developed right here."
"This is Production Workshop One... our CNC machine tools primarily used Haas and Siemens brands before, but you know what happened in the past years, so we've also started to introduce SIXONE CNC products.
