Did the world end today?

Chapter 55 Come in and talk about something

The real reason?
Bai Mo looked at Lin Xu with a scrutinizing gaze, seemingly unsure of Lin Xu's intentions for the moment.

This made her feel a little anxious.
-
In fact, anything that cannot be predicted or judged using reason and logic will cause her anxiety.

Fortunately, most situations encountered in life do not have a significant impact.

After thinking for a moment, she answered:

"Actually, there is only one main reason."

"I have always been curious about space, and I want to become an astronaut."

"But I can't pass the official selection process, and it's unlikely that I can reach the top of the industry and become a non-professional astronaut to participate in space missions based on my own abilities."

"Because my major naturally doesn't meet the selection criteria for non-professional astronauts."

"Therefore, the most reasonable choice for me is to join a civilian aerospace company, promote the development of civilian aerospace, and look for opportunities in the process."

After Bai Mo finished speaking, Lin Xu nodded slightly.

"You've already explained this reason to the HRD, haven't you?"

"I told you."

Did he make you any promises?

Lin Xu continued to ask.

"HR promises are unreliable, so I didn't take them seriously."

"But even without her promise, I will not change my own judgment."

"As I said, this is the most reasonable and rational choice."

"understood."

Lin Xu nodded thoughtfully.

An innate interest in space?

Considering her experience, this makes quite a bit of sense.

She studied aircraft manufacturing, and her goal seemed to be "aerospace".

But there seems to be another problem here.

If she truly has a natural-born dream of "going to space," why doesn't she pursue a career closer to that goal, such as a national defense academy or a military academy?

Isn't it much easier to become a pilot first and then an astronaut than to design aircraft and then move from behind the scenes to the forefront?
Lin Xu believed that someone as rational as her couldn't see the difference between the two options.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu spoke up:
"But there's a problem with your statement."

"You probably weren't 'born' to be interested in the universe and space."

"You must have become interested in space after you entered university, which was after 2018, right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group to study aircraft manufacturing; it's a path that doesn't align with your ultimate goal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu clearly noticed that Bai Mo's eyes flickered a few times.

in!
Guess it right!
Something must be affecting her!
As expected, after a brief silence, Bai Mo nodded and said:
"Yes."

"To be precise, it was only in 2021 that I decided to fly into space myself and see for myself."

"However, can I request that I not explain the specific reasons?"

"This is my personal privacy and I cannot disclose it to the public."

".Can."

Lin Xu obviously couldn't force the other party to talk through interrogation.

But even if she doesn't want to say it, today's meeting was meaningful.

At the very least, we can be certain that this is a highly rational person with strong execution skills and a straightforward personality.

Personality traits are generally unchanging.

Once you grasp this trait, communication will become more efficient once you enter the world of fitness trackers.

At this moment, Jiang Xingye's voice could be heard outside the door.

She seemed unaware of where her new office was, and was still grabbing people outside the door to ask.

Lin Xu stood up to open the door, and casually asked Bai Mo:
"You don't actually want to go to Mars, do you?"

This moment.

Bai Mo's expression changed drastically.

Lin Xu stopped moving.

He was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterward, he quickly asked Bai Mo:

Why go to Mars?

"Because of what?"

"Planetary cycle, doomsday, the Zhu Rong spaceship, solar rings, divine oracle, or a transdimensional experience?"

He blurted out all the keywords of every key clue he knew.

Bai Mo's expression was beyond just ugly.

Anxiety, fear, panic, and helplessness.
That capable and efficient demeanor had completely vanished.

Her facial expression was even distorted due to the violent spasms of her muscles.

"me."

"you"

Bai Mo was speechless. Lin Xu decisively took out his phone and then said:
Remember my number!

"You probably don't want to talk about this in front of other people."

"But I know most of what you know!"

"Calm down first."

"Let's talk another time!"

"understand"

Bai Mo shakily pulled out his phone and tried several times before finally getting Lin Xu's number right.

The way she looked at Lin Xu had completely changed.

Lin Xu couldn't describe what that look was like.

But intuitively...
It's like someone who has trekked an infinite distance through the desert and finally sees a real oasis.
At this moment, Jiang Xingye finally found Lin Xu's office.

She knocked on the door, and Lin Xu said, "Come in."

Jiang Xingye pushed open the door and entered.

"Mr. Lin, I apologize for being late."

"I didn't."

"I go first."

Bai Mo lowered his head and walked towards the door.

She tried hard to control her body movements and to hide the almost out-of-control expression on her face.

Jiang Xingye was dumbfounded.

After the office door closed again, she turned to Lin Xu.

"No."

"What did you do?!"

Judging from her questioning tone, she was less worried that Lin Xu had messed up the interview, and more worried that something "unspeakable" had happened between Lin Xu and Bai Mo.

"I"

"Oh dear, this is hard for me to explain!"

Lin Xu knew it wasn't time to confront Jiang Xingye yet, so he could only give her an ambiguous answer.

“I talked to her about her college years, including why she chose this major and why she came to Sky Dome Technology.”

"I think I went a bit too far; she seems to be getting defensive."

“That’s it??”

Jiang Xingye took a step closer to Lin Xu.

Do you think I can trust you?

"That's really how it is."

Lin Xu looked directly into Jiang Xingye's eyes without flinching.

He wasn't lying.

It's just that the whole story wasn't told.

Jiang Xingye saw sincerity in his eyes, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's good that you didn't lie to me. If she doesn't come, I'll find you someone else."

"Don't report this to your superiors yet, or HR will find fault with you."

“You’ve just been promoted, you can’t afford to make any mistakes.”

"Just say that there were differences in our communication beforehand, and I'll explain later."

"Need not."

Lin Xu waved his hand.

"She just had a mental breakdown; her work situation didn't collapse."

"She will come."

"And I think she's actually quite suitable for this position."

"That's good."

Jiang Xingye let out a sigh of relief, then asked curiously:
"So what exactly did you talk about with her?"

"so I."

"Ding-a-ling-ling-——"

Lin Xu was about to answer when his cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting him.

He picked up his phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

Harassment calls?

He picked up the phone casually, and immediately a man's voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Lin Xu, this is the Comprehensive Intelligence Division of the National Security Bureau of Jinling City."

"Our address is Jinling Public Security Bureau, Liuchao Road, Jinling City."

"Could you please come over here now?"

"Come in when you arrive. We need to talk to you about something."
