For the Greater Good

Beijing.

A pale-skinned old man was sitting inside a rustic house. He meticulously read the newspaper in his hands. When he read to a certain point, he couldn't help but frown. Suddenly, he heard footsteps.

He looked up and saw Director Li walking toward him, escorted by guards. The old man looked at Director Li and smiled.

"What's up? It's so early in the morning."

"I just got here from Jinling." Director Li took a deep breath and tried to restrain the excitement in his heart.

The old man could have guessed what this was about, but he still asked.

"What is going on in Jinling?"

"The miniaturization of the fusion experimental reactor… With Professor Lu's help, it was successful!"

The old man wasn't the only one who was surprised, even the guard escorting Director Li was astonished.

The old man smiled and put away his newspaper. He then stood up from his chair.
