The arrogant female CEO’s personal expert

Rent in big cities is expensive.

A single room, even one without windows and a private bathroom, is not something that Rikuo Ueda can afford now.

After all, he didn't have a job.

Ueda Rikuo's mind was in a mess, full of all these random thoughts, and he didn't hear clearly what the person on the other end of the phone said.

"Ueda-kun, are you listening?" An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

But Rikuo Ueda didn't take it too seriously.

I don’t have any salary.

If I had nowhere to go, no one would answer your call now.

"I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again." Ueda Rikuo said bluntly.

If this had happened in the past, he would never have dared to do this.

Now there is a bit of a desperate mentality among them.

But what Ueda Rikuo never expected was that the other party became extremely polite. Facing Ueda Rikuo's tough attitude, not only did they not blame him, but they apologized humbly and repeated their request.

"You mean, President Tanaka Manmura wants to see me?" Ueda Rikuo said in surprise.

Although the research department has been marginalized for a long time, Rikuo Ueda still knows who the president he trusts is.

After all, this guy is always on TV.

Such a high-ranking figure actually wants to see me now?

Ueda Rikuo's first reaction was that he might have done something wrong and offended an important person.

But on second thought, given his status, even if he wanted to offend some big shot, he would have no chance.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked Ueda Rikuo.

"We know that Professor Ueda must be very busy, but please make time to meet with the president. Is an hour ok?" The other party was obviously very nervous, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"One hour?" Ueda Rikuo wondered.

"If one hour is not enough, then half an hour, please, Professor Ueda." The other party said again.

At this time, Rikuo Ueda noticed that he had suddenly become a professor.

He was originally just a researcher and joined this laboratory not long after graduating from college.

However, you can also say professor.

After all, the level of this laboratory is high, and as long as you become the person in charge, you will naturally become a professor.

That's what his superior told him as he left.

But at that time, neither of them felt that the so-called professor title was of any use.

After all, the most powerful institution in the entire country has no interest in research. They have been completely marginalized. What does it matter whether they are professors or not?

But now when he heard others calling him that, Ueda Rikuo couldn't help but feel that it was a little magical.

"No problem, when?" asked Rikuo Ueda.

After hearing Rikuo Ueda's response, the other party was obviously relieved, and quickly gave the agreed time and said that someone would send a car to pick them up.

Ueda Rikuo was a little dazed.

At this time, even he should have realized that the reason the other party came to him was definitely not to withdraw the laboratory.

After all, it was just a matter of notifying him with just one sentence, and it was impossible for Tanaka Mancun to come and see him.

Tanaka Manmura is a big shot. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful person in the island country. Would he care about such a small amount of rent or water and electricity?

But what is this for?

Rikuo Ueda wanted to tidy up his appearance, but when he searched his closet, he could only see his very old research uniform, and he didn't even have a decent piece of clothing.

After much thought, I decided to put on the slightly yellowed research coat, which was also my former superior's coat.

There's no way around it, that's professor-level attire.

He, Rikuo Ueda, was originally an ordinary researcher who only had ordinary work clothes. Those clothes were not suitable for going out and meeting people. Moreover, he had worn them frequently over the years and they were already a bit worn out.

Although it doesn't fit well, it's better than nothing.

When he came downstairs, Rikuo Ueda saw the two-tone Maybach cars downstairs at a glance and was stunned by the luxurious decoration.

"What a nice car!" said Rikuo Ueda.

He had only seen this type of car on the Internet and heard that it cost several million, with some expensive versions even costing tens of millions.

The society actually sent this kind of car to pick me up?

"Professor Ueda?" A man in a luxurious suit came over, and with a hint of seniority in his enthusiasm, he respectfully greeted Ueda Rikuo.

This is elite.

This thought flashed through Ueda Rikuo's mind.

This kind of person will not even look at himself on a normal day. Even if he sees himself, he will secretly curse him as a waste in his heart.

But today, he was bowing down before him.

"It's me." Ueda Rikuo was a little reserved at first, but when he thought about how he had been treated before, some strange emotions surged in his heart.

It's hard to say what it is, but Ueda Rikuo knows that he doesn't want to be looked down upon by others.

Even if I have no money, even if I am wearing tattered clothes, I am unwilling to bow my head.

"Professor, please get in the car," said the young man.

"Yeah." Ueda Rikuo responded, trying hard to make himself look not intimidated by the aura of this luxury car.

However, in his heart, Rikuo Ueda was still secretly shocked by the luxury of the car.

I think it would be great if I could afford a car like this in the future.

But when this thought flashed through his mind, Ueda Rikuo found it ridiculous.

This kind of car is not for driving, but for sitting in.

Who among those who can actually afford this kind of car would drive it?

The young man who came to pick him up was not the driver, but someone else.

"Can you tell me what's the matter?" said Ueda Rikuo.

"Professor Ueda, we are not qualified to know these things." The young man had an awkward expression on his face, but it soon disappeared. He smiled and said, "This is the president's exclusive order to find you. The specific details are also confidential and we have no way of knowing."

"That's it." Ueda Rikuo nodded.

Looking for yourself, that may not be the case.

I'm looking for the person in charge of this laboratory.

But what is there in this laboratory that is valuable enough to attract Tanaka Manmura's attention?

Although Rikuo Ueda is an otaku, he is not stupid. How could a stupid person enter the highest-level laboratory in the country?

To put it bluntly, the decline of the laboratory was not due to lack of strength, but rather to a change in the entire era, when all the bigwigs no longer attached importance to research.

This is the tide of the times, what can he do?

When Rikuo Ueda first entered the laboratory, he was also full of ambitions, but the times changed.
