In the next few days, George followed John's request and reported to him on time every day on what he learned from Qiao Jing and the actual progress of the experiment.
Of course, George did not tell the truth, and every report was half true and false.
Because George often came in and out of John's office, everyone else in the institute naturally believed that George was being used in John's favor.
At the same time, the news that George became Qiao Jing's apprentice suddenly spread.
For a time, George's status in the institute rose rapidly.
When everyone saw him, they all treated him with great respect, and some even gave him gifts directly in an attempt to get closer to him.
At noon that day, after George reported the situation, he came out of John's office and walked in the direction of Qiao Jing's laboratory.
After passing the corner, several people suddenly appeared and pulled him to the corner.
George was startled, and after taking a closer look, he realized that several people were colleagues from the institute.
He looked at a few people with an inexplicable look on his face, "Why are you pulling me here? Are you looking for something to do with me?"
One of them chuckled and said, "Congratulations, George, your boy has made a fortune recently. Not only has he been appreciated by Mr. John, but he has also become Professor Qiao's beloved disciple."
"We usually have a good relationship with you, but you have to put in a nice word for us in front of Mr. John so that our brothers can take advantage of you."
Several other people also echoed: "Yes, yes, please say a few good words for us in front of Mr. John."
With that said, without waiting for George to respond, several people took out the gifts they had prepared earlier in the morning.
"This is a little thought chosen by our brothers for you. I hope you don't dislike it."
Looking at what they handed over, George was a little surprised.
George was not a person who cared about money. He refused gifts from several people because he did not want to be rewarded for his merits.
"Please take your things back, I won't accept gifts."
Hearing this, those people immediately became unhappy.
"George, what do you mean? Do you look down on us?"
"That's right, now that you've fallen in love with Professor Qiao, you've been valued by Mr. John, and you've become very successful, you don't look down on us anymore, right?"
"George, tell the truth, do you think the gifts we prepared are not big enough?"
"..."
Several people were talking to each other, and George was so noisy that his head almost exploded.
In desperation, he had no choice but to reach out and push the person in front of him away, fled, and ran all the way back to the laboratory.
Qiao Jing saw him running in panting, with a troubled look on his face, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What? What happened?"
"well……"
George sighed and told what happened just now.
After hearing this, Qiao Jing shook his head, not agreeing with his approach.
"Actually, you shouldn't refuse. Not only shouldn't you refuse, but you should also accept everything they send as ordered."
"ah?"
George looked confused and couldn't understand what Qiao Jing meant.
Seeing his confused look, Qiao Jing had no choice but to explain in detail.
"At the moment, John doesn't trust you very much, but if you show your greedy side appropriately and make John feel that you have changed because of his important use and become greedy and money-worshiping, he will think that you are easier to control."
, thus dispelling my wariness towards you.”
After hearing this, George suddenly understood and looked at Qiao Jing with even more admiration, "So that's it, I understand!"
The master is indeed his most admired idol. In just a few words, he was enlightened!
After that, people from the research laboratory gave George gifts again, and he followed what Qiao Jing said and accepted all the gifts without rejecting them...
After two days of this, after George reported the situation to John as usual and left, John called Frank for questioning.
"How's it going? I asked you to keep an eye on George secretly. Did you notice anything unusual?"
Frank replied truthfully: "Others in the institute have learned that George has become Professor Qiao's apprentice. In addition, he has often been running to you recently. Everyone thinks he has a bright future, so many people are following him."
I gave him gifts in an attempt to win over him."
"According to the observation of my people, George refused the gifts from those people at first, but then he may have thought about it and changed his mind."
"Whenever someone gave him a gift, he accepted it directly. He also hinted to those people in secret and overtly that if they wanted to give something as a gift, they should give it something valuable or expensive, otherwise they should not give it."
Having said this, Frank paused, as if thinking about it, and then added something.
"Other than that, I didn't find anything unusual about him."
After hearing this, John suddenly laughed.
Frank looked at him with confusion and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. John, if I may ask, what are you laughing at?"
There doesn't seem to be anything funny about what he just said, right?
Could it be...
Mr. John suffered from mental problems because he was too nervous about the experiment?!
"Sure enough, no one in this world can withstand the temptation of money."
John stopped smiling and explained to Frank: "George would rather die than surrender. If he hadn't used his sister as a threat in the end, we would have been unable to do anything to him."
"However, it's different now. As long as he gets greedy, we can easily control him and make him work for us wholeheartedly!"
After saying that, John laughed again, with a bit of sarcasm.
What about the master?
What about your favorite idol?
In the face of the temptation of interests, it is not worth mentioning!
Frank slapped his forehead suddenly, "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? Mr. John has a sharp mind."
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time...
That night, Qiao Jing was having dinner, and George ran over excitedly.
Seeing him, Qiao Jing raised her chin and motioned for him to sit down opposite, and then said, "You seem to be very excited, what good thing happened?"
"Let me guess, are there more people giving you gifts today, or did you receive some priceless gift?"
George scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Master, please stop teasing me. You know that I don't even bother to accept their gifts."
Seeing that he was so careless, Qiao Jing stopped teasing him, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, no more joking, let's talk about what makes you so happy."
"Master, you are so clever. After I listened to your words and pretended to accept gifts from those people and showed my greed for money, Mr. John really relaxed his vigilance towards me."
Speaking of this, George's admiration for Qiao Jing was beyond words.
