Zhengyangmen: I refuse to be a bootlicker, Su Meng panicked

"Um... Professor Xu, I didn't mean it..." A timid voice came out, and it was obvious that it was from a young man.

That's right, even an experienced researcher would not make such a low-level mistake.

"Do you think you can get away with it by just saying you didn't mean it?!" Professor Xu was so angry that he slammed the table. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the young man's explanation.

Han Chunming outside the door was also dissatisfied with this statement. Since he knew he was wrong, he should find a way to make amends or make a sincere apology.

Just saying "I didn't mean it" is nothing.

"But... the successful development of the microcomputer is a good thing! Although I said it unintentionally, but... there is no need to hide it, right?" The young man was very unconvinced and even talked back to Professor Xu. It seemed that he didn't care about his mistake.

"It's not that I'm trying to hide it, it's just that the time to announce it hasn't come yet! You've made a mistake of principle by leaking such an important scientific research project without the approval of the higher-ups!" Professor Xu grew increasingly angry. "Xiao Ma, why can't you explain it?"

"Ah... this is also a mistake in principle..." Xiao Ma seemed unconvinced and muttered.

"You..." Professor Xu was so angry that he didn't know what to say and almost jumped up.

Han Chunming, standing outside the door, felt that he should show up. He couldn't just stand outside and eavesdrop, right?

Besides, Professor Xu needs help now.

"As a researcher at the DAMO Academy, he made a principled mistake and yet he acted so confidently. I really don't know how this Xiao Ma got into the DAMO Academy. Didn't he receive any pre-employment training on the basic rules and regulations?"

Han Chunming raised his hand and pushed the door open, his voice carrying a hint of anger.

His sudden appearance seemed to scare both people in the room, and they looked at the door with shocked expressions.

It was during the moment when the two were shocked that Han Chunming saw the pony clearly.

He was a handsome man, and should be about the same age as himself. However, looking at the brand-name sweater under his white coat, one could tell that he was another spoiled young master at home. Han Chunming shook his head unconsciously.

No wonder he could say such things, probably because his family spoiled him and he probably didn't pay much attention to the courses in college.

"Mr. Han!" Professor Xu had already reacted and immediately came to Han Chunming, saying with a smile. "Why are you here at this time? Are you…"

Having said this, Professor Xu stopped talking and looked at Xiao Ma who had not moved at the side.

This kid is so tactless. He won’t leave even after I told him so.

Professor Xu didn't know, Xiao Ma just wanted to hear what Han Chunming and the others would say to Professor Xu.

Han Chunming, who had noticed Xiao Ma's expression a long time ago, smiled slightly and said to Professor Xu: "Let's not rush about our own business for now, let's talk about Comrade Xiao Ma first."

Doesn’t this kid want to listen? Then let him listen to it all at once.

"Ah?" Xiao Ma was startled. How could Han Chunming directly interfere in his affairs?

Professor Xu naturally had no objection. The Dharma Academy was originally invested and built by Han Chunming. If the Dharma Academy really had to have a boss, then Han Chunming would naturally be their boss.

"Xiao Ma, you should have signed an agreement contract when you entered the Dharma Academy, right?" Han Chunming sat down and asked Xiao Ma.

"Ah... yes." Xiao Ma nodded, and for a moment he didn't react why Han Chunming asked this.

"Very good." Han Chunming nodded. "I remember there were a few conditions listed in the document. The first was that all employees must unconditionally obey orders from their superiors and abide by all of DAMO Academy's rules and regulations. You should be clear about this, right?"

"Clear...clear." Xiao Ma was a little stuttering because of what Han Chunming said. He didn't know why Han Chunming asked him this question.

"Very good." Han Chunming's smile grew even brighter. "The contract also states that all research must comply with the confidentiality agreement. You should know this, right?"

Having said that, if Xiao Ma still doesn’t understand what Han Chunming means, then he would be a fool.

"I...I really didn't mean it! Mr. Han, Teacher Xu, please give me another chance." Xiao Ma was really panicked this time and started begging for mercy.

He had finally gotten into the Dharma Academy for a promotion and a raise, so how come it has become like this?

In fact, Han Chunming didn't want to embarrass Xiao Ma, he just wanted to know why Xiao Ma leaked the information about Dharma Academy.

From the very beginning, computer research and development was not confidential, but the people in the DAMO Academy were very disciplined, that is, they would never talk nonsense about the research results of the academy to others.

Xiao Ma was clearly asking questions despite knowing the answer. That was why Han Chunming wanted to know why he did that.

"Since you know the terms of the agreement, why are you talking nonsense outside? Look at those reporters outside. What can we do now?!" Professor Xu was still very angry and kept slamming the table.

Even Han Chunming couldn't stand Professor Xu's excitement anymore, and quickly pulled Professor Xu to sit down: "Professor Xu, don't be so angry, let's sit down and talk slowly."

There was one more thing Han Chunming didn't say. That was, getting angry wouldn't solve the problem...

Professor Xu's anger had subsided a lot, but he still looked very angry.

It's no wonder that anyone would be very angry if one of his team members was so ignorant of the rules.

Seeing that Professor Xu had been appeased by Han Chunming, Xiao Ma assumed that Han Chunming was easy to talk to, so he immediately said, "Actually... I was drinking with some friends yesterday, and when I got drunk, I just casually boasted a few words, and then... I told the story out loud! But I can swear, I really didn't mean to do that!"

"You..." Professor Xu got angry again and stood up to continue cursing just after he sat down.

Han Chunming discovered it early and grabbed Professor Xu.

In fact, Han Chunming was also very angry when he heard this explanation. To be more precise, he was speechless.

As a scientific researcher at the DAMO Academy, it is really frustrating to see them being so careless and imprudent in their work.

However, no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but this kind of mistake is really too low-level.

Han Chunming suddenly thought of what the system said in the morning about a very speechless incident that might happen, which was probably what happened now.

"Professor Xu, I know you're angry, but now's not the time to be angry." After thinking about a solution, Han Chunming said, "The most urgent thing is to disperse those reporters at the door. I'll find an excuse to fend them off later."

Maybe one of Xiao Ma's friends last night was a media reporter, otherwise how could they have arrived so quickly?

At this point, Han Chunming looked at Xiao Ma again and said, "As for Xiao Ma, let's keep his punishment and keep him in the hospital for observation. If the higher-ups approve it, it won't be a big deal."

Xiao Ma nodded rapidly, looking at Han Chunming with gratitude in his eyes.

This is the person who does great things! Look at what others say, this is the person who does serious work!

Professor Xu got angry just looking at Xiao Ma, but Han Chunming had said that.

He couldn't get angry anymore, so he could only nod.

"Okay, I'll go out and deal with those reporters first. Let's disperse here." Han Chunming said, and then prepared to leave.

However, Xiao Ma stopped Han Chunming and said with hope, "Boss Han, you...you've said so many good things on my behalf, why don't you just be a good person to the end?"

"What?" Han Chunming was stunned and didn't understand what Xiao Ma meant.

"That's right... I've already applied to join the newly established computer programming department at the DAMO Academy. I want to participate in the research and development of operating systems. Why don't you put in a good word for me?" Xiao Ma said with a playful smile.

Hearing this, Han Chunming was completely speechless.

After such a huge mess, how could this little guy still have the nerve to apply to join the computer programming department?

That's a position only senior researchers at the DAMO Academy can enter. Even if one doesn't have deep qualifications, it's still for those with deep experience and self-control. How could someone like Xiao Ma, who can't control his mouth and is so shameless, get in?

It seems that Xiao Ma leaking scientific research results is not the most outrageous and speechless incident, but this request is.

"Comrade Xiao Ma, I admire your courage, but why do you think you are qualified to participate in the research and development of the operating system?" Han Chunming asked with a smile.

The person who was very easy to talk to the previous second turned around and spoke to him in such a sharp way, which made Xiao Ma stunned immediately.

What is the situation now?

"First, I didn't say anything nice to you just now because I didn't want to exaggerate the conflict and delay its resolution. Second, Xiao Ma, you are too young and have no self-control. Wait until you have learned to control yourself before applying again." After coldly saying these two words, Han Chunming walked around Xiao Ma and left.

He was not angry at first, but after what happened with Xiao Ma, Han Chunming's anger reached its peak.

Where does this pony get his confidence from?

Even Professor Xu was speechless. What on earth was Xiao Ma thinking? How could he have the nerve to say such things?

Forget it, let’s deal with the reporters at the door first, we can deal with Xiao Ma’s matter later…

After coming out, Han Chunming finally understood what the speechless incident that the system had prompted him to was.

To be honest, even now when he thinks of Xiao Ma looking at him with a firm look and saying that he wanted to join the computer programming department, he still feels speechless.

"You don't know your own limitations." Han Chunming murmured softly.

After Han Chunming left, Professor Xu's anger did not subside at all, but instead he became even more annoyed.

"What did you say just now? You still want to be transferred to the Computer Programming Department? You have made such a serious mistake and you haven't been punished yet. How can you have the nerve to apply for it?" Professor Xu asked bluntly.

Professor Xu's face didn't show a trace of joy, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to control his emotions.
