”Speaking of which, Major General Xiang Dong paused, then continued: ”The reason for finding you is naturally because of this. Our nation plans to establish a Genetic Evolution Department, and wants you to become the minister of this department.

Genetic Evolution Department?” Hearing this name, Jiang Cheng truly understood the nation’s level of emphasis on the field of genetic evolution. They actually plan to create a specialized department for it. It’s important to know that the nation’s major departments all wield significant power, and the creation of such a department at least indicates that the nation deems this matter’s importance has become closely related to the nation’s development.

Hmm, that’s right.” Major General Xiang Dong said: ”The leadership’s intention is for you to take on the role of minister of this department. After all, in the field of genetic evolution, there is arguably no one ahead of you in the world.

Is that so...” Jiang Cheng stayed silent for a while, then continued, ”Forget it, it’s really hard to explain over the phone. Xiang Dong, where are you? I should come to your place to discuss this in detail face-to-face; it’s better that way.

Hmm, alright, I have already sent someone to pick you up. I just wanted to explain a bit about this matter, and I hope you will consider it seriously.” Major General Xiang Dong said. In truth, he was not very confident whether Jiang Cheng would be willing to become the minister of the Genetic Evolution Department.

Although the Genetic Evolution Department only researches genetic evolution, the leadership’s intention is for this department to hold the same rights as other departments in the nation. This also means that if Jiang Cheng becomes the minister of the Genetic Evolution Department, he would directly become a minister-level official.

Directly becoming a minister-level official is something unseen in the nation’s development over decades, but the Number One leader says that special matters must be treated specially, which left Major General Xiang Dong shockingly stunned.

Minister-level officials, in the whole nation, how many are there really? This is already considered the nation’s top tier of officials, but letting Jiang Cheng be the minister of the Genetic Evolution Department still might not necessarily work out as it relies on Jiang Cheng’s own thoughts.

Having interacted with Jiang Cheng for a long time, Major General Xiang Dong certainly understands Jiang Cheng’s character. Even if he became a department minister, wielding immense power, it is uncertain whether Jiang Cheng would agree.

Ending the call, while waiting for the car to pick him up, Jiang Cheng also slowly began to ponder over this matter.

Not long after, he shook his head. If he became the minister of the Genetic Evolution Department, it would mean he would not have much time to do other things, which contradicts his own thinking. So staying in Beijing is definitely not an option, and he needs to properly explain this to Major General Xiang Dong.

Due to a traffic jam, the person Major General Xiang Dong sent to pick up Jiang Cheng arrived an hour later. The person knocked on the door, and Jiang Cheng left the hotel with them, returning the hotel’s room in the process.

Having left Luo City for quite a while, Jiang Cheng decided, after solving the Genetic Evolution Department issue, he should return to Luo City. Although Zhang Manlin has strong capabilities, such a large company must still have quite a few matters waiting for him to manage.

Leaving the Sheraton Hotel, Jiang Cheng felt a sense of relief. Having been away from Luo City for so long, he truly missed Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian. Fortunately, the Genetic Evolution Department was the only matter in front of him now.

Getting into the car, Jiang Cheng and the person sent by Major General Xiang Dong together headed to the location of the National Gene Evolution Department.

The creation of the National Gene Evolution Department wasn’t rushed, and everything was well-organized. The location of the department is in the military area, with high confidentiality both internally and externally. After all, genetic evolution is currently the nation’s top strategic priority, and the nation must apply sufficient emphasis on it.

After approximately an hour, the car entered the location of the National Gene Evolution Department, and at this time Major General Xiang Dong was also waiting at the doorstep to welcome Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng looked up at the huge building ahead and walked inside, discovering that the research institute was fully equipped with everything, including office spaces. He couldn’t help but feel impressed by the nation’s ability to concentrate its efforts on one task when truly intending to do so.

Seeing Jiang Cheng shaking his head, Major General Xiang Dong opened his mouth with some urgency, saying, ”Brother Jiang Cheng, this is the National Gene Evolution Department. Although it is just one building, it is located in a concealed military environment. If you take on the role of minister, any reasonable requests you make will be fulfilled promptly by the nation.”

However, just as Major General Xiang Dong had foreseen, Jiang Cheng seemed not very interested after hearing his words. Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, ”I’m sorry, Major General Xiang Dong, I don’t seem to have the time or energy to manage such a large department; Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company has a whole bunch of matters awaiting me.”

Why?” Although anticipated, hearing Jiang Cheng truly say refusal caught Major General Xiang Dong a bit curious. Genetic Evolution Technology can indeed change humanity’s future technology, but Jiang Cheng doesn’t seem to focus his attention on this matter. As for why, I find it hard to describe.” Jiang Cheng said calmly and, after a moment of contemplation, continued, ”Although Genetic Evolution Potion Technology relates to Huaxia, even humanity’s development, a research study of epoch-marking significance, I won’t center my career on this.”

After pausing for a bit, Jiang Cheng continued, ”The core part of Genetic Evolution Potion Technology has already been completed. The clinical trials using those rare materials to manufacture Genetic Evolution Potion have achieved great success, so there’s really no need for me to invest a significant amount of time and effort into this matter anymore.”

”Brother Jiang Cheng, you really...” Major General Xiang Dong was incredibly shocked, even to the point of sweating. Genetic Evolution Potion Technology, this point astounded him when he first heard Jiang Cheng mention it.

Not to mention other effects of Genetic Evolution Potion, just the ability to extend human life over a hundred years already brings enormous change to society’s current framework. If you include enhanced memory, reaction capabilities, those impacts lead to creating significant transformation in the human society~.

In Major General Xiang Dong’s conception, the nation’s development for the next decade will surely centralize around Genetic Evolution Potion Technology, besides devoting substantial energy and those outstanding researchers. It is research that countless people pledged their lifetimes to. But Jiang Cheng says he doesn’t need to invest a significant amount of time and energy into this matter anymore?

This makes it hard for Major General Xiang Dong to conceive.
