Chapter 2747 A new generation replaces the old one
The other side.
Back at the institute, Han Duoduo submitted a one-week leave application procedure on his personal terminal.
She had no idea how much impact this leave application procedure would have.
For this matter, the top leaders held a special meeting.
There is a proverb in the old days that a person's value depends on whether he can be replaced.
The same applies to the present moment.
And Han Duoduo happens to be the irreplaceable person.
If you encounter danger, you must choose one of the two. The big leader is even willing to replace Han Duoduo with himself.
Ten years have passed, and a new generation has replaced the old.
The people standing on the high ground today are no longer the same group of people ten years ago.
After all, sixty is a very important threshold.
If you are over sixty, the probability of foundation building is almost slim. There are only two foundation building monks in the country who have achieved breakthrough at the age of sixty.
As for those over sixty?
Sorry, there are none.
For a while, this was the key topic of the institute, but after spending countless manpower and material resources and paying a huge price, the officials finally woke up.
At the age of sixty, there is just a copper wall and an iron wall, standing firmly in front of the foundation gate.
With the current conditions, humans may not be able to find a way to break through.
Therefore, the project was urgently stopped.
Then, people from the previous era slowly retreated behind the scenes.
For example, Zhou Zhezhi is retired now. He either goes out for a walk or visits old colleagues' houses every day. He lives a leisurely and comfortable life.
Today, Zhou Zhezhi's courtyard received an unexpected visitor.
"Old leader, are you at home?"
Hearing the sound coming from the door, Zhou Zhezhi slowly walked out of the room. When he saw the people standing outside the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed twice.
"Xiao Xi, why are you here?"
Standing outside the courtyard gate was none other than Zhou Zhezhi's former subordinate, Hao Xiaoxi.
Ten years have passed, and Hao Xiaoxi not only has not aged, but has become a bit younger. The wrinkles on her face have also disappeared, and she looks like a young woman in her early thirties.
Hao Xiaoxi walked into the small courtyard with a smile and got straight to the point.
"Old leader, I will not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything today."
"As a retired old man, how can I help?"
Zhou Zhe shook his head repeatedly after hearing this and sighed.
"Now, the world belongs to you born in the 10s. Those born in the 1980s like me are all old bones."
"Old leader, you are not old."
Indeed, although Zhou Zhezhi did not break through to Foundation Establishment, he was still maintaining good health. Compared with ten years ago, he did not look older at all.
"Did you encounter any difficulty?"
The two chatted for a while, and finally Zhou Zhezhi took the initiative to speak. Hao Xiaoxi had worked under him for ten years and he knew him well.
"You still have a keen eye."
Hao Xiaoxi smiled bitterly and nodded.
"I did encounter something that made me very embarrassed."
"Mr. Zhou, Han Duoduo, do you know?"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhe gave Hao Xiaoxi a strange look, as if he was looking at a fool.
"no."
Seeing this, Hao Xiaoxi explained: "I mean, Han Duoduo and I have a good relationship, you should know that, right?"
"Um."
Zhou Zhe nodded and said, "It seems that this is the problem?"
"That's right."
Hao Xiaoxi said frankly: "In recent years, you may have heard of some foreign forces trying to find ways to win over Duoduo."
"However, without exception, they all failed."
"Um."
Zhou Zhezhi praised: "This little girl, Han Duoduo, has the style of our ancestors. I think back then, we were also very poor at that time."
"You born in the 10s may not feel it deeply, but we born in the 1980s are different. When we were children, the country was far less powerful than it was later."
"But compared with the 1950s and 1960s, our generation is undoubtedly happy."
"The 1950s and 1960s were so miserable."
"Many people don't even have enough to eat."
"Xiao Xi, you must have never experienced what it's like to be hungry, right?"
"Why not? When I was working overtime..."
Before Hao Xiaoxi finished speaking, Zhou Zhezhi raised his hand and interrupted her story.
"What I mean by starvation is different from what you think."
"That kind of hungry..."
"well."
As he spoke, Zhou Zhe sighed.
"Forget it, let's not talk anymore, let's talk about your business."
"What happened to you and that girl Duoduo?"
Sighing seemed to be contagious, and Hao Xiaoxi also sighed.
"A few days ago, Duoduo's eldest daughter went to the surface and was attacked by hostile forces."
"Although Duoduo's child was not harmed, as soon as Xinxin's child came back, Duoduo submitted a leave application to her superiors."
"Ask for leave?"
Although Zhou Zhezhi has retired, he is not blind. As far as he knows, Han Duoduo seems to have never taken a leave in these years.
Asking for leave suddenly is indeed an anomaly.
"Are you worried that she went out this time to avenge her daughter?"
"Partially."
Hao Xiaoxi nodded with a confused look on his face.
Seeing her expression, Zhou Zhezhi immediately understood that some people were probably worried that Han Duoduo had connections with other forces.
Human nature, that's what it is.
"So, after discussion, it was decided that you should go to Han Duoduo and test her intentions?"
Zhou Zhe hit the nail on the head, and his guess was absolutely correct.
"Yes."
Hao Xiaoxi said with a depressed expression: "Actually, I don't really want to do this. After all, the reason why I interact with Duoduo is not because of her identity, but simply to make friends and feel that we are compatible."
"Then why don't you just confess to her?"
Bystanders know clearly, but the authorities are confused. Zhou Zhezhi's words directly awakened Hao Xiaoxi.
yes!
Why didn't she just ask?
"Go ahead."
Zhou Zhe smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Hao Xiaoxi could leave.
He could understand Hao Xiaoxi's mentality.
Although Han Duoduo and Hao Xiaoxi are good friends, no matter how good they are, when there is a huge difference in status between the two, their relationship will change.
Unless the two people have no intersection of interests.
Obviously, this is not the case between Hao Xiaoxi and Han Duoduo.
In the final analysis, the relationship between Hao Xiaoxi and Han Duoduo was one of the factors that allowed Hao Xiaoxi to reach where she is today.
And, it's probably the key factor.
Hao Xiaoxi was also vaguely aware of this, but she had never been willing to face it head-on.
And this was also the reason for her depression.
Even if she doesn't want to think about it, her subconscious mind won't lie. With this awareness, of course she would be embarrassed to ask directly.
After a while, Hao Xiaoxi took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Zhou Zhe.
