These people truly did not know what was good for them and did not know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. Professor Tong was truly angered by them.

Looking at the pleased and relieved expressions on the faces of these youths, Professor Tong was so angry that he didn't know what to say. This research inst.i.tute didn't care about external matters and had a country that only did research activities, it was like giving these people food so much that they didn't even know what their surname was!

They actually wanted to complain to Ji Feng and let the higher-ups change him?!

Where did their brains go? Didn't they think that if Ji Feng was replaced, would this research project be meaningful? The country wanted the technology in Ji Feng's hands!

"Professor Tong, don't be angry. We are not facing you. It's just that that person was too arrogant and was also bullying others. We can't stand it any longer!" A technician said.

Yes, Professor Tong, we don't have any opinions towards you, you have been defending us all this time, we will remember all of this in our hearts, but that person was too much, first he treated us as laborers, and now he even wants to directly say that we are being chased out as random people, this is simply going too far!

"Exactly!"

"If he can endure this, then who knows how he'll bully us in the future!"

… ….

The group of people discussed animatedly, and all of them seemed extremely resentful.

The more Professor Tong heard, the angrier he got. He could not help but angrily say, "All of you, shut up! You. You are all being too presumptuous! "

Seeing Professor Tong trembling in anger, his face flushed red, one of them said: "Professor Tong, don't be angry, this time we are only fighting for our own rights, we have no other intentions …"

Professor Tong was so angry that he even cursed, causing many people to be stunned. Professor Tong's face turned red from anger, looking at them with a weird look, and after a long while, he said: "What rights and interests do you guys want to fight for? Call the higher-ups and ask them to reprimand Mr. Ji? Or do you want to just replace him and not let him be in charge of this project!? "

Someone even said, "It would be even better if we could replace him. This kind of person can't be a leader and doesn't take others seriously at all. Does he really think that he's a leader?!"

"Exactly!"

"All of you, shut up!" Professor Tong growled, clenched his teeth, and looked at them in disappointment, saying: "You guys are really too arrogant! Let me ask you this, if the higher-ups really did replace Mr. Ji and did not let him take charge of this project, what would you do?! "

Some people were stunned.

"What's the use of all of you staying after Mister Ji left?!" Professor Tong said angrily, "All the technology for this project is only available to Teacher Ji. If he's gone, what use do you guys have!?"

There were also people who were stunned. That's right, only Ji Feng knew of all the techniques in this project. If they were to replace him, then what was the need for them to stay? If that happened, wouldn't they all return home?

Someone said, "What are you afraid of? Since this is a military project, he'll definitely hand over the technology. At worst, we'll just have to partic.i.p.ate!"

"... "Idiot!"

Professor Tong looked at that person, and after a while, he couldn't help but curse.

Professor Tong couldn't help but shake his head. He was not only cursing, but he was also about to hit someone! But... Looking at the faces of these people, he really didn't want to say a word.

"If that's the case, I've also called the higher-ups to report it. Someone must be responsible for this matter to have turned out like this!" Professor Tong said.

Other than that, since these people had such a tense relations.h.i.+p with Ji Feng, they had no idea what would happen in the future. They had no idea what Ji Feng's reaction would be, so this matter had to be reported, and someone had to be responsible for it.

As for them, they would at most receive a few punishments, and that was it!

Similar situations have occurred before.

One of the research inst.i.tutes was working with a university, and the result was a conflict between the research inst.i.tute's technician and a professor of that university. The professor angrily left, and the technician took the lead.

Everyone had experienced this before, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

It had to be known that the military's researchers were much more popular than those in society. As the external environment worsened, the country's pressure was very great, so the military spending had increased a lot in recent years. Moreover, the military's weapon research had been slanted to a much higher level, so the status of these military researchers had also increased a lot!

Therefore, from the technician's perspective, this time was about the same!

Seeing their reaction, Professor Tong, who was dialing, could not help but secretly shake his head. These people were really spoiled. They simply did not know their limits!

In order to keep it a secret this time, he didn't tell them what kind of project it was, but said it was a military project and was extremely important. If these people knew that they were actually studying the laser project, who knew what kind of expression they would have on their faces!

Suddenly, a technician's phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, a proud look flashed across his face. He pointed to the others and said, "Did you see that? The research inst.i.tute called. They must have found something …"

As he spoke, he picked up the phone, "h.e.l.lo, Leader, how was …"

"What?!"

Suddenly, his voice increased in volume, and his expression changed. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Now let me formally inform you, you have two choices. First, you will be expelled from the inst.i.tute, and the unit will pay you an additional half a year's salary in accordance with the contract you signed with the inst.i.tute. However, I have to remind you, because you signed a confidentiality agreement with the inst.i.tute at the beginning, you cannot partic.i.p.ate in any scientific research work, much less go abroad within three years …"

The voice on the phone was extremely loud and clear, causing the people beside to be able to hear it vaguely. Quite a few people could not help but be stunned.

Just as he wanted to speak, he heard from the phone, "Second, ask for the forgiveness of the person in charge this time. In that case, the unit can only give you one punishment and a certain amount of punishment, but it won't fire you!"

As he said this, the voice said, "It's up to you!"

The call ended.

The technician held the phone in a daze, his face pale!

Seeing that, someone at the side could not help but ask cautiously: "Brother, what's going on? What did your leader say … "

However, after they finished answering the call, their pale expressions and expressions of panic and bewilderment were surprisingly identical!

The information sent back was … It was too shocking!

Either he would be expelled, or he would seek Ji Feng's forgiveness. There was no other option!

Nothing else but expulsion!

They had signed a secret agreement with the military inst.i.tute they worked for. If they left the inst.i.tute, they could not engage in any scientific research for three years, whether it was because they had been expelled or because they had left on their own accord!

This meant that the source of their income for the next three years would be gone. Not to mention the salary and benefits given by the military research inst.i.tute!

For the technicians of their research inst.i.tute, there was nothing more miserable than this outcome!

The two technicians stood blankly on the spot with the phones in their hands. Their legs gave out and they sat on the ground with pale faces …

This scene truly frightened everyone else. They all felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. Their entire bodies were ice-cold and their hearts had been doused with cold water!

Unexpectedly... This would be the result!

When Professor Tong saw their reactions, he could not help but coldly grunt at them. Truly angry and helpless, now you know fear?! What have you been doing?

If he had restrained their arrogance earlier, he would not have fallen into such a dilemma. He would simply be courting his own death!
