Chapter 193 International Students Want to Resign
A few days later, news of what happened in China finally reached the United States. Many Chinese people were outraged and wanted to return to serve their motherland. Especially those overseas students, many of them gave up their studies and returned to their motherland.
Lu Chen's factory had recruited many international students from the beginning, so now a large group of international students came to Lu Chen's office with their resignation letters.
Lu Chen looked at the dozens of international students standing in his office, his head full of cold sweat. They were the backbone of his factory. If they left, the technical level of his factory would definitely become vulnerable.
Lu Chen looked at these international students and said sincerely:
"Everyone, I know you are all very angry now and want to return to China to help the motherland drive away Xiaozi. I understand your feelings. Because I am just like you, I wish I could flatten Xiaozi's base camp. But everyone, think calmly now, what can you do if you return to China now? You can't return to China impulsively."
Someone immediately responded, "Boss, we are going to return to our country to join the army and live a small life."
Lu Chen immediately said, "You are all educated people. It would be a waste of your abilities to join the army and live a simple life. Besides, Chiang Kai-shek is now implementing a non-resistance policy. Even if you join the army, you won't be able to live a simple life."
Someone else said, "Then we should not go to Chiang Kai-shek's army. We should go to the teachers' team. They can live a good life there."
Lu Chen looked at the person who was talking with displeasure. This person must be a member of the faculty. Lu Chen looked at these people with some complexities. They were all thoughtful and knowledgeable people. Those who came to his office to find him must have made up their minds and would not be easily persuaded by him.
Lu Chen thought about it and decided to try a different approach. He asked:
"Everyone, are you all planning to go back and join the army?"
More than a dozen people immediately said, “We are all going back to join the army.”
Lu Chen nodded, and then asked the rest of the people:
"What are you going to do when you return home?"
Someone answered: "I plan to go back to the factory and help it improve its technology."
Another person said: "I plan to go back and contact my classmates to protest to the government together, so that they can stop fighting among themselves and work together to get rid of the trivial matters."
………………
These international students had many reasons to go back, which made Lu Chen feel dizzy. Lu Chen thought for a while and said:
"For those who want to go back and improve China's industrial capacity, I want to give you a piece of advice. The domestic industrial foundation is weak, and even steam engines are not yet popular. If you go back now, you have to start from the most basic level. But China is in the midst of war. I can't provide you with such an environment. You might as well stay here with me first, and when the domestic environment stabilizes, you can go back. By then, not only will I not stop you, but I will also buy you a boat ticket."
Then Lu Chen said, "For those who want to go back and persuade the government to stop internal friction, I won't stop you, but you have to think clearly. If Chiang Kai-shek is a person who cares about other people's opinions, how could he order the troops to retreat directly and implement a policy of non-resistance?"
Finally, Lu Chen looked at those who were going to return to China to join the army and said:
"If you return to join the army at this time, you will be cannon fodder once you get on the battle train. I hope you can stay here first. I can help you with military training. I can even recommend you to study in a military academy. I hope you will consider it carefully."
After saying this, Lu Chen looked at these people. After thinking for a while, many of them still insisted on resigning and returning home. Lu Chen had no choice at this time. He couldn't force them to stay. So he could only let them leave.
Of course, some people decided to stay and return to their posts. Soon, Lu Chen's office was empty. In the end, there were only four or five people left in the office.
Lu Chen looked at the few people who stayed behind and asked:
"What are you going to do?"
One person stood up and said, "Didn't you say that we could have military training and go to military school? We want to have training now."
Lu Chen looked at the few people and said, "Let me tell you, military training is very hard. Can your bodies handle it?"
Several people said firmly: "We can endure any hardship."
Seeing the determined looks in their eyes, Lu Chen nodded and asked:
"So do you have a favorite branch of the military? Army, Navy, or Pilots? Which one do you want to join?"
When they heard that they could become pilots, several international students immediately expressed their willingness to become pilots.
Lu Chen smiled and took out a piece of paper, handed it to a few people, and said, "Okay, register your names. I will contact a school that teaches flying for you."
Several people took the paper, wrote their basic information on it, and then handed the paper back to Lu Chen.
"Boss, our message is ready."
Lu Chen took the paper and read the contents. He read as he went.
"Liu Rui."
At this time, the older man among the group raised his hand. Lu Chen looked at this man named Liu Rui. He was quite tall, probably over 1.7 meters tall. He had a good figure, but he didn't have much tendon meat.
Lu Chen nodded at him. Then he continued to read the following content. Lu Chen found that Liu Rui's major was mathematics. Lu Chen didn't know why Chen Jianghe hired a mathematical researcher. Was it just for data calculation?
After Liu Rui came a man named Zhao Jun. Lu Chen looked at the person who raised his hand. This man was about the same height as Liu Rui, but a bit more muscular than Liu Rui. Lu Chen thought he was pretty good.
There were two more people behind him, named Lin Han and Diao Ming. They were both studying chemistry. After Lu Chen read their information, he nodded and said:
"I will arrange for you to go to flight school as soon as possible. I hope you can pass the school's assessment."
After expressing their gratitude to Lu Chen, they left the office.
After everyone left, Fu Mingzhuo and Chen Jianghe came to the office. Lu Chen was already suffering from the sequelae of these international students' collective resignation today. Seeing the two people coming in, Lu Chen said angrily:
"Are you two going to resign too?"
Fu Mingzhuo quickly said, "Xiaochen, don't get excited. We are not here to resign."
Lu Chen stared at the two of them and asked, "Then what are you two doing here?"
Fu Mingzhuo said: "We saw many international students come to your office to resign, and we were a little worried about you, so we came to see you."
Lu Chen sighed with relief, "Ah~, damn Xiaori, if it weren't for them, how could these talents resign. I really want to blow up those Xiaori with a bomb. After these people leave, how can we carry out our research projects?"
Fu Mingzhuo comforted him, "Lu Chen, don't worry too much. Now that they've left, your brother Chen and I can go recruit them."
