Chapter 1478: Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
After listening to Han Wancheng, Ling Feng curiously asked, "Boss, can you tell me how many people there are now?"
"Are you asking about all the superpower users or just the newly discovered ones?" Han Wancheng replied.
Ling Feng laughed, "I want to know both!"
"Currently, there are over a thousand newly discovered ones, and these are just those who are registered and have established contact. As for the total number, that’s confidential—I can’t tell you!" Han Wancheng stated.
"..."
Ling Feng looked speechless, glancing at Han Wancheng, "Seriously? I can’t know even at my level?"
Zhang He chimed in from the side, "Don’t mention you, even my level isn’t enough!"
"Your military rank isn’t higher than mine!"
Ling Feng glared at him and then changed the topic, "Forget it, the total number doesn’t matter, it doesn’t have much to do with me!"
He then looked at Han Wancheng, "Boss, you’re not planning to hand over all these over a thousand people to me, are you?"
"No, most people have their own normal lives and just want to remain as they are, not wanting to change their life paths. So as long as they stay home and don’t do anything bad, it’s fine!"
Han Wancheng said, and then pondered for a moment, "The ones assigned to you to manage are roughly around five hundred people, and more will be added over time."
"That’s already quite a lot!"
Ling Feng thought to himself, my training school only has over a hundred people now, suddenly getting five hundred more, and I’ll have to take care of everything!
So he raised his head and asked, "And the expenses for these people...."
"Don’t worry about that; the security bureau will allocate funds for you, so you won’t have to spend money!"
Han Wancheng glanced at him, somewhat irritably.
Ling Feng chuckled, "That’s good, I’ll call Chu Xing later to make arrangements!"
"Alright, go ahead, there’s nothing else." Han Wancheng finished speaking and directly cut off the video.
In the room, only Ling Feng and Zhang He were left, and the two exchanged glances, neither speaking for a moment.
Finally, Zhang He couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Let me remind you, the state has entrusted you to train these emerging superpower users; that’s quite a trust, so you better handle it well and not cause any trouble!"
"What trouble can low-level superpower users cause?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes and then stood up, "I’ll train them into talent!"
With that, he left Longyuan.
Arriving at Ling Corporation, just as he reached the entrance of the skyscraper, Ling Feng’s phone rang.
Seeing it was Gu Li calling, he didn’t answer it and directly hung up.
When he got upstairs, reaching his office, he saw Gu Li anxiously dialing again.
"I’m already here, what are you calling for?" Ling Feng laughed.
"No wonder you didn’t answer!"
Gu Li then realized, and quickly got up to say, "Boss, a video targeting you suddenly appeared online!"
"Really? What’s it about?"
Ling Feng didn’t take it seriously, slowly sitting down and asking.
"You’ll know when you watch it."
As he spoke, Gu Li turned the screen towards him and played a video.
The footage showed a Western-faced man blabbering into the camera.
The subtitles scrolled across the bottom of the screen, only then did Ling Feng understand what he was saying.
"This man is an American businessman, all his subsidiaries are high-tech companies, and he’s been quite prominent in recent years!" Gu Li explained.
Ling Feng nodded, the man on the screen named Smack was eloquently talking about the Rocket Base on Lingyun Island.
After this matter fermented online, layers of mystery were peeled away, and many people learned about Ling Feng’s plan to explore outer space.
And this Smack is the same; his enterprises also cooperate with America’s space department and are researching rockets and spacecraft.
If that’s all, it would be fine, but amid his rhetoric, he seemed to sneer at Ling Feng’s project, based on the scale of facilities on Lingyun Island and background investigations of Ling Corporation. Smack thought that this small-time rural group wants to engage in space exploration, which is simply laughable!
Having watched for a few minutes, Ling Feng turned off the video and looked at Gu Li, "Is this what you were talking about?"
"Yeah, boss, this guy is very arrogant, right? He actually looks down on our project!" Gu Li said with indignation.
Ling Feng didn’t feel much about it, smiled, and said, "There are many things we haven’t revealed, he’s just uninformed. Besides, what impact can his skepticism have on us? If a mole cricket chirps, will we stop farming?"
"Uh, that’s true, I just don’t like his condescending attitude. Who does he think he is!" Gu Li smiled wryly.
"Whoever he is, it doesn’t concern us, just focus on research responsibly!"
Ling Feng smiled and then stood up, "In the future, you don’t need to report things like this to me, just ignore them!"
Seeing Ling Feng about to leave, Gu Li quickly stood up, "But boss, this person is about to start a rocket test, and the next step is to send a vehicle to outer space, letting it fly out of the Solar System!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was surprised, looking back at him, "What’s that about? Crazy?"
"Of course not, one is promoting his company’s cars, and the other, of course, is showcasing his rocket, publicizing it to the world!" Gu Li said.
"That’s it?"
Ling Feng thought for a moment and then smiled, "His ideas are indeed out of this world, if one didn’t know better, they’d think he’s sending a gift to aliens!"
"Not to mention, this guy is involved in many high-tech fields, and there are people online who actually suspect he’s an alien; how else could he invent so many things!" Gu Li added.
Ling Feng smiled and didn’t continue the topic, instead asking him, "Do you have confidence in our rocket?"
"Ah?"
Gu Li was taken aback, "Of course I do!"
"Our technology is similar to his, but our fuel is different. Will the launch effect be stronger?" Ling Feng pressed further.
"Absolutely, it will!" Gu Li nodded.
Ling Feng laughed, "See, a good meal isn’t afraid of waiting, why rush? Let him enjoy a few days of glory, once our rocket launches, who will remember his stuff?"
Gu Li smiled in agreement and immediately started flattering, "Boss, you’re mighty, boss, you’re wise!"
"Alright, alright, get back to work, I have things to do!"
Ling Feng finished speaking and stepped onto the elevator.
Originally, he was looking for Mo Jiaolan, but ended up getting delayed here for more than half an hour!
Soon he reached the office upstairs, Mo Jiaolan saw him and immediately asked, "How’s Chen Fei?"
"You know about it too?"
Ling Feng smiled and sat down, "There’s no longer a problem, with some rest, she’ll regain her vitality!"
"Good, luckily it wasn’t targeted, otherwise I’d be tense too!" Mo Jiaolan said softly.
