Life Game In Other World

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1277: Research Facility (Big Chapter, Requesting Monthly Votes)

“I apologize for not telling you in advance,”

Li Cheng looked at He Ao, who seemed a bit confused, and paused slightly, speaking in a calm tone, “I got a little excited just now. If you’re unwilling to take on the position of director, I support you in designating someone as the successor of the Research Institute.”

“Old Li,”

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyun couldn’t help but speak. He glanced at He Ao, paused for a moment, and calmly said, “I’m confident in He Ao’s abilities, but…”

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but hesitating.

“Old Li, I have no objections to you having He Ao take over; we’ve all seen his capabilities and are aware of his reputation in the Western Lands,”

Wu Ganglie, standing beside him, didn’t pause and directly said, “But letting He Ao casually appoint someone might be a bit too much of a joke.”

He Ao lifted his head, looking at the slight smile on Li Cheng’s face, and rubbed his brow.

He was well aware of what Li Cheng’s earlier words meant.

If it was directly stated that He Ao would be the successor to the directorship, the focus of contention would be on He Ao. But if it was said that He Ao could casually appoint someone as successor, the focus of contention would shift to the ‘casually appointed person.’

In this process, whether it was Wu Ganglie or Liu Zhengyun, they would first demonstrate their own ‘concessions’ and ‘sincerity,’ first arguing that they have no objections to He Ao succeeding, and then focus the contention on the ‘casually appointed person.’

To get someone to open a window, you have to propose to take off the roof.

In many of the things He Ao did, the glory fell on ‘Mr. Hao Yi’ and ‘K’. Although he himself had some achievements, it still wasn’t quite enough for him to naturally become the director of the Research Institute.

But if He Ao received the support of Liu Zhengyun and Wu Ganglie, he could basically succeed smoothly and get through the initial period of doubt.

From this perspective, Li Cheng was indeed sincerely paving the way for He Ao while also arranging his own affairs.

He Ao gazed at Li Cheng and, before Liu Zhengyun and Wu Ganglie could continue their ‘debate,’ smiled softly, “Director, your proposal is quite sudden; I might need some time to think it over.”

“No problem, I did speak a bit too hastily today,”

Li Cheng smiled, looked at He Ao, and said meaningfully, “However, what I said earlier is true. If you don’t want to be the director, you can also appoint someone who you think is fit for the responsibility to be the director.”

Hearing these words, not only Liu Zhengyun and Wu Ganglie but even He Ao was slightly taken aback.

He initially thought Li Cheng was just making a provocative statement to draw attention, but he hadn’t expected him to truly mean it.

The Research Institute was an organization built painstakingly by Li Cheng over half his life, brick by brick.
