135: Chapter 135 Becoming a Scientist? I Refusal

The fisherman was utterly shocked.

What the hell was going on?!

He had fished in these waters his entire life, and this was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation!

Even... the Director of the South China Sea Police Bureau, whom they usually never saw, had arrived!

Yet such a high-ranking figure was merely standing at the very end of the line...

For a moment, the sheer shock almost made him fall into the sea.

"Dock the boat! Dock the boat!"

Soon, the official from the Fishing Boat Management Authority, whom the fisherman regarded as a supreme authority, quickly walked over.

He pushed aside the cadres next to him and approached the fisherman's boat alone.

"Di... Director, what's... what's going on?"

"With so many people here, is there something important?"

"Just say the word, and I'll definitely cooperate!"

Having been an honest man his whole life, the fisherman had never seen such a grand display before.

He licked his dry lips and spoke with fear and trepidation.

But in the next second!

After seeing the person on the boat, the official from the Fishing Boat Management Authority's expression underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

He immediately began to chuckle, the fat on his face trembling along with his laughter.

"Ah, haha! Isn't this Big Brother Song?"

Bro... Big Brother Song?

For a moment, the fisherman, addressed in such a way, was stunned.

Normally, he didn't even have the right to catch a glimpse of this man.

The last time they met was at a family meeting where he had presented a gift; they were barely acquaintances.

He didn't expect to be remembered.

And to be called "Big Brother Song" too.

Didn't he usually just call him "Old Song"?

The fisherman was completely bewildered.

"Big Brother Song, who is this little brother behind you?"

As the official spoke, he took out his phone to carefully compare photos. The more he compared, the more terrified he felt.

Holy crap...

It's Lin Heng himself!

As he spoke, he became even more polite.

He didn't dare to put on any airs.

His usual routine was completely gone!

"Ah, haha, just a little brother I met on the way. He seemed like a good guy, so I brought him along."

However, the fisherman thought Lin Heng had committed some crime, which scared him half to death.

"I only spoke a few words with this young man; I really don't have any—"

"Mr. Lin Heng?!"

"Is it you?"

Before the fisherman could finish, the chubby man's face was filled with shock. He licked his dry lips and spoke.

"Are you looking for me for something?"

Lin Heng didn't deny it.

"Director? Lin Heng? What's going on with you two?"

The fisherman was bewildered.

What was the situation?

"Hahaha, Big Brother Song! From now on, you can fish in this sea however you like. You've performed a great service today!"

The Director patted the fisherman with his thick, fleshy palm, his eyes almost sparkling with light.

At this moment, his breathing was rapid, as if he had seen something incredibly exciting.

This...

The fisherman's brow twitched slightly.

Good heavens?

Had his luck finally turned?

But he quickly composed himself.

He saw more people walking over from the embankment.

The most striking and exaggerated among them was an old man in a white coat.

If an apocalypse movie were being filmed, this old guy would definitely be the number one choice for a zombie actor.

Elder Jiang ran straight from the shore and plunged onto the fishing boat.

"Mr. Lin Heng? Is it really you?"

"Were the data and blueprints for that chip created by you?"

"You're a damn genius!"

Elder Jiang sized Lin Heng up, but he didn't doubt him at all.

At this point, it wasn't a matter of whether he was willing to believe it or not.

After having his face slapped so many times before, he just wanted to know the result now.

It didn't matter if the man before him had gone to university or not; even if he were a dog, he would be willing to believe he could produce a three-nanometer chip.

"I wonder if you're interested in joining our laboratory, Mr. Lin Heng? I guarantee that within ten years, you will definitely become the youngest Academician of the Dragon Kingdom's Chinese Academy of Sciences!"

"To be an Academician before the age of thirty—what an incredible honor that would be!"

Lin Heng glanced at the old man before him.

If one didn't know better, they would think he had escaped from a mental asylum.

Hearing the man's words, Lin Heng quickly understood his identity and the reason for seeking him out.

Regarding the invitation, Lin Heng flatly refused.

"No need. I still prefer doing my own thing. As for your request, sir, please allow me to decline."

"Hmm?"

Elder Jiang's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"This..."

He didn't expect the other party to refuse so decisively.

This made him feel a bit embarrassed.

"Lin Heng, do you know what you're refusing?"

"You're refusing to contribute to this society and this world. For someone as brilliant and capable as you, not benefiting all of humanity would be a loss to the entire world!"

"With you joining us, our Chinese Academy of Sciences has a chance to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in the coming years, pushing human technology to the next level and perhaps even exploring unknown frontiers!"

Elder Jiang looked very excited.

However, Lin Heng was completely unmoved.

"I'm sorry, but I really have no interest in scientific exploration. That chip from before was just a hobby of mine; what I actually enjoy is trade."

"You should take back this invitation."

"This..."

Elder Jiang nearly coughed up blood.

Lin Heng actually said that creating a three-nanometer chip was just a hobby?

If so, who knows how many scientists and professors at the Chinese Academy of Sciences would want to jump off a building.

This Lin Heng probably didn't realize the depth of what he was saying.

However, the fact that he could produce the data and blueprints for chip manufacturing proved that Lin Heng was fully qualified to make such arrogant statements.

Then, soon after.

Elder Jiang wanted to continue persuading him, but he found that Lin Heng had already bypassed him and stepped off the boat.

On the shore, Long Anyou was already waiting.

He looked at Lin Heng with a somewhat complex expression.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Lin Heng's abilities and power far exceeded his understanding.

Just the fact that Lin Heng had seized all the live organs in Myanmar before was enough to show that Lin Heng was no simple person; he should have noticed that back then.

But it was a pity.

He hadn't expected that they would only realize it after the Golden Triangle incident.

Watching Lin Heng walk over, Long Anyou didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Director Long, are all these people here to make me a scientist?"

Lin Heng stood still and teased.

However, Long Anyou was caught between laughter and tears.

"How would we dare..."

"Come on, there are too many eyes and ears out here. Let's go talk at the bureau."
