Chapter 843 Promotion and Salary Increase

They were originally scheduled to meet during the day, but it wasn't until dark that Eric finally called.

"Be safe and meet at nine o'clock, but you have to be prepared, things may change."

"What happened?"

Of course Yang Yi had to figure out what happened, and then Eric said in a slightly frustrated tone: "My friend was summoned by his boss, he was promoted, and he got a new team to carry out his work Researching, I’m not sure if he would be willing to work for another company after getting the promotion.”

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment. At this juncture, someone who was not valued at first was promoted, and then hindered their work of recruiting people. What a joke.

"Do you know the specific content?"

Eric whispered: "I don't know, I haven't met him yet, I just talked a few words on the phone, but in any case, you should be more prepared, at least prepare more for my friend than before." You just need to be mentally prepared for the generous treatment."

After explaining the meeting place, Yang Yi hung up the phone. Then he raised his hand and touched his hair, cursed a few times in a low voice and stood on the roadside.

Zhao Qiang appeared out of nowhere. He stood next to Yang Yi and whispered: "What's wrong?"

"We met at nine o'clock, but something went wrong. I don't know if the problem is serious yet. Li Wei has just received a promotion and a salary increase. The introducer doesn't know the situation and has no way of knowing whether Li Wei is still willing to change jobs. I'll go. What a useless name!"

"Just get used to it. It's actually very convenient."

After Zhao Qiang laughed twice, he whispered: "It's okay, as long as Li Wei has the intention to change jobs, as long as he is dissatisfied, as long as he still has the intention to change jobs, then we can definitely persuade him, let's go meet , Don’t think too much now, you will know everything after meeting, by the way, where is your companion?”

Yang Yi looked around, but he didn't see Anton's figure either, so he whispered: "What are you looking for him for?"

"Well, after all, we are not very familiar with each other's style. To be honest, I am not afraid of anything, but I am worried that if something happens, your companion will be too far away from us and there will be no time to react."

"You are worried about this. Don't worry. As long as he has this responsibility, he will definitely jump out when necessary. Whether it is to save us or kill us, he will definitely not miss it."

Zhao Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Then I'd better pray that he doesn't jump out."

Yang Yi and Zhao Qiang came to the meeting place Eric mentioned, a deserted restaurant.

When Yang Yi and Zhao Qiang arrived, Eric was already waiting there.

The time was 8:50, and Eric was the only one there. He stood up and asked Yang Yi and Zhao Qiang to take their seats. Yang Yi pointed at Zhao Qiang and said: "Buyer, this is my friend, and this time The middleman of the transaction.”

Eric and Zhao Qiang did not shake hands. The two of them just nodded to each other, and then Yang Yi said to Zhao Qiang: "My friend, you can call him Christmas Tree. He sells some equipment. If you need it, you can contact him. Guaranteed fair prices and door-to-door delivery, and the items are absolutely good.”

Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "Can you leave your contact information?"

Eric nodded and said: "Of course, of course, but this is not urgent. Let's talk about the current situation. My friend was originally unable to display his talents. He was very depressed about this, but today, his His boss suddenly told him that he could lead a design team by himself, which I thought would be problematic."

Zhao Qiang still looked very calm and said: "I don't think the problem is big. We will find out after we meet him and have a few words with him."

At this moment, the door of the restaurant opened again, and a man walked into the restaurant with his head lowered. After seeing Eric and Yang Yi sitting at the dining table, the man looked a little hesitant and panicked. He seemed to be considering whether he should move on.

Eric stood up and said: "Ian, come and sit."

Ian has a beard, but not very thick, and his clothes are a bit sloppy. A pair of jeans is dirty, and the T-shirt he wears looks a little cleaner.

Ian walked up to Eric and whispered: "Hello, I..."

After spreading his hands, Ian sat down. Then he looked at Yang Yi and Zhao Qiang, and then whispered in a panic: "Sorry, I, I..."

Eric patted Ian on the shoulder and said with an easy-going look: "Brother, don't be nervous, no one is forcing you, and no one will force you to make a decision, just treat it as a casual chat, no matter what Whatever decision you make, just treat it as a gathering between friends."

Ian exhaled and said, "Okay, now I'm a little... don't know what to do."

Eric smiled and said: "Don't worry, introduce yourself first. It's okay. Just tell me about your basic work situation."

Ian was as childish as a child in front of old guys like Eric and Yang Yi. He exhaled and whispered: "My name is Ian McEvoy. I graduated from Imperial College with a degree in electronics." in engineering and materials, and now I work at Cowsville National Laboratory.”

Yang Yi felt a little excited, and his fists placed under the table involuntarily clenched a little tighter. Hey, the doctor from the Department of Materials is on the right track.

Ian looked at Zhao Qiang and Yang Yi who remained calm, and then he whispered: "I have been working in the Coswell Laboratory for four years, doing nothing for four years. I feel that I have wasted my life and talent. Everything there is full of decay, but..."

Yang Yi whispered: "Sorry to interrupt, this laboratory doesn't seem to be very famous."

Eric shrugged and said: "No, it is very famous, but this laboratory is a national defense laboratory, funded by the British government. It is also responsible for developing equipment needed for the intelligence department. It is not well-known to the outside world, but it is well-known internally. .”

Yang Yi said with a sudden look on his face: "Oh, no wonder, please continue."

Ian was interrupted, and he continued: "I don't like the working atmosphere there, I don't like it very much. No one values ​​your ability. What matters is qualifications. I don't think I can be valued until I'm fifty. , but I am only thirty-two years old this year, but I got a promotion today."

Ian looked at Eric, and then he whispered: "I used to be an assistant to a laboratory director, but today I became the head of an independent laboratory. I think maybe it will be different in the future... "

Zhao Qiang said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you a question, how many people do you have, how much research funds do you have, and what research projects do you have?"

Ian stopped talking. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "There is no one or funding yet... I don't have a research project yet, but..."

Zhao Qiang said in a deep voice: "You were fooled, man. Your ability threatened your boss, so you were kicked out. You were still able to do substantive work, but from now on you can only do the experiments you are responsible for." It’s a waste of life, that’s what it is.”
