Chapter 57 Running for President from Scratch

"Xu Mingjie, are you really willing to live like this for the rest of your life?" A deep and hoarse voice suddenly came from Xu Mingjie's personal notebook in the study.

Xu Mingjie, who was drinking water, was startled by the sound, but quickly regained his composure.

Xu Mingjie put down his water glass and looked at his notebook.

At this moment, the original work interface was gone, and what appeared in front of him was an elegant room with a black leather sofa and a huge floor-to-ceiling window behind it, through which the city lights could be vaguely seen.

On the sofa sat a well-dressed middle-aged man. His hair was neatly combed, and he exuded a powerful aura that subconsciously inspired trust in others.

"Who are you?"

Xu Mingjie asked.

He knew the other party was very powerful. He knew he was using a special network with extremely high security, comparable to a national bank, yet the other party could control his computer silently.

He knew that his every word and action was being observed by the other party.

"You can call me K!" the middle-aged man said.

"King?" Xu Mingjie subconsciously thought of the abbreviation of the word "King".

"You can understand it that way too," K said.

"Why did you contact me?"

Xu Mingjie pondered the other party's purpose.

After thinking it over, the only thing he could think of was that the other party might be after the data from the projects he was working on recently.

He is a researcher at a research institute. He majored in life sciences during his studies, and the project he is currently working on is also related to life sciences.

"We intend to give you a chance, a choice, to start your life anew, and even leave your mark on history!" K said calmly, yet his words always evoked a strange sense of excitement.

"What's your choice? Why don't you tell me first?"

Xu Mingjie asked with great interest.

K didn't directly answer Xu Mingjie's question, but suddenly said, "Xu Mingjie, you are a very talented person, especially in life sciences. You have a keen intuition; you could say that no one in the entire research institute is as talented as you!"

"But your life hasn't been so pleasant. You've achieved a lot, but your name is always listed at the bottom of the credits, and you haven't been included in any of the several professional title evaluations!"

"Even now, your annual salary is only 100,000, which is far from enough to cover your contributions!"

"The bloated and corrupt system has limited your promotion and also limited your talent. Why can those who are far less capable than you rise all the way up, while you are stuck in the same place?"

"You're a smart person, I think you understand that in an organization, there are only so many people who actually do the work. If you get promoted, there will be fewer people who actually do the work."

"Of course, the most important thing is that you don't scheme or curry favor. Scheming and currying favor is something that has nothing to do with scientific research, but it has become a way to get promoted instead of relying on ability."

"This is undoubtedly a mistake!"

Are you really willing to accept this?

"Are you willing to let others take all your achievements?"

"A year ago, your wife fell ill, and your child suddenly became sick. You urgently needed money, but you had none on hand. You also couldn't apply for the institute's medical fund. Given your abilities and contributions, this shouldn't have happened, but it's because you don't know how to scheme."

"That time, your wife and children escaped unscathed, but what about next time? What can you do with a salary of 100,000 a year?!"

"What are you trying to say?"

Xu Mingjie's expression changed.

"Come work for us. The boss values ​​your talent, which is why he sent me to find you. If you agree, we can give you a research institute after your confidentiality agreement expires in three years!"

"Furthermore, for these three years, we can give you one million each year. All you need to do is continue your studies!"

How can you expect me to trust you?

Xu Mingjie asked, already showing that he was already interested.

"Look!" K pointed ahead.

The next moment, Xu Mingjie's pupils constricted slightly.

He saw a life engineering formula, a life engineering formula that only existed in conjecture and had not yet been derived, but the one in front of him was complete!

"Our strength far exceeds the limits of your imagination. The only reason we've approached you is because of your talent!"

Money is just a number to us, but talent is priceless!

"Okay, I promise you!"

Xu Mingjie made the decision immediately; the conditions offered by the other party were completely irresistible to him.

More importantly, some things only need to be done once. His heart had long been cold, and K's appearance was just adding fuel to the fire.

A capable person like him never has to worry about food. Even if K hadn't appeared, he would have already found another job.

However, the offer from the other party was far less favorable than K's.

……

"Anderson, don't panic, I mean no harm, you can call me K."

The television program on the living room TV suddenly disappeared, and in its place appeared another image.

"I know everything about you!"

On the sofa directly opposite the television sat a very haggard-looking Black man, but on the wall opposite the sofa, in a photograph, he was all smiles.

"You're a senior engineer, an elite in most people's eyes, but you're not happy!"

"You have an older brother. The two of you brothers rose from the slums to become senior engineers, a legend in the slums!"

"But your brother died a year ago!"

"A white female police officer broke into your brother's house and shot him dead. It was murder, but the officer claims she considered it her home and thought your brother was the intruder!"

"This is a complete lie. The two houses are different. The yards, the room layouts, and even the gates are all different. No one would mistake their own house. It was clearly a premeditated murder."

"But in the end, you were forced to forgive the murderer, because if you didn't, you would lose your job, face retaliation, or even die in some unknown corner!"

"Under the web of money and power, how utterly futile your struggles are!"

"What are you trying to say?"

At this moment, Anderson calmed down.

"Do you want to change all of this?!"

"You are a very capable person, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to struggle out of the slums, but in a world like this, your life, your wealth, and your status are not guaranteed."

"What happened yesterday might very well repeat itself. Who will be crying and embracing the murderer then?!"

"To change all of this, we must reverse it at its root!"

"What do you want me to do?"

Anderson asked.

"I didn't know you weren't interested in the presidency either?"

"We want you to run for president from scratch!"
