Chapter 1197: Did The Inst.i.tute Want To Steal The Work?
Liu Qian frowned when he heard what Qi Hui suddenly said. Since the people from the National Research Inst.i.tute of Science and Technology were present, he suppressed his fury. How could Qi Hui insult his students?
Wei Yong randomly placed the experiment plan on the table and said, “Why don’t you upload the framework onto the computer first before we continue doing testing?”
He pointed at the main computer by the side.
“Sure.” Qi Hui looked at Liu Qian and gestured for him to do it.
Qi Hui acted as though he was the leader of the research group.
“Mr. Qi is shameless. He isn’t on the team, yet he is ordering us around.” w.a.n.g Jing could not resist complaining about Qi Hui to Dai Jie softly.
“The experiment plan was very detailed, but Mr. Qi snubbed us for our work because it did not suit the inst.i.tute’s needs. I am really starting to suspect that he is a spy from some other laboratory. How could he insult people from his own university?” Tang Jun was deeply infuriated by Qi Hui.
Even if the experiment plan did not meet the inst.i.tute’s needs, he should not have spoken ill of them in front of outsiders.
It was no different from slapping the university in the face and insulting it.
“Just forget it. There is no point getting mad. Mr. Qi is a despicable man and it is not his first time stepping over other people to get ahead. Just focus on our work here,” said Dai Jie calmly.
Since the students were standing some distance from Qi Hui and the others, they were not worried about getting overheard.
Huo Yao said nothing. She simply kept looking at the screens as her mind wandered.
After some time, she finally asked Dai Jie, “Oh yes. Did we sign a contract with the National Research Inst.i.tute of Science and Technology?”
Dai Jie did not understand why Huo Yao was suddenly asking about this. He replied after a moment. “I don’t know either. From the looks of it, I guess not.”
Huo Yao nodded. “Okay.”
“Huo Yao, is there something you would like to share?” Dai Jie knew Huo Yao would never have asked this question for no reason.
Huo Yao raised her head and looked at him as she smiled and said, “Your experiment plan was very well written.”
Dai Jie’s lips twitched. “Are you praising me or mocking me? Didn’t the guy just say it was no good?”
Huo Yao raised her brow and said profoundly, “It’s perfectly fine, but he wants something else out of it.”
The inst.i.tute seemed to want to steal their work. She certainly did not see this coming from a reputable establishment.
Dai Jie did not understand what Huo Yao was driving at. Just as he was about to ask, Liu Qian waved at them telling them to run the system.
Dai Jie could only shut his mouth and go over.
As they sat in front of the computers, Wei Yong stood by the side with his arms crossed. He asked Qi Hui standing beside him. “Mr. Qi, did these students really come up with the system?”
Mr. Qi did not know the details of the research project since he was not directly involved. He was only here as a university representative. He cleared his throat and replied. “That’s right.”
Wei Yong thought about the experiment plan and commended the students. “You have some talent in the Biology department.”
The moment Mr. Qi heard what Wei Yong said, he froze for a few seconds before he finally answered. “You are too kind.”
Wei Yong smiled without talking anymore.
He glanced at Dai Jie and the others before looking at Huo Yao’s computer. He narrowed his eyes and walked over standing right beside her.
He said nothing as he looked at the numbers jumping on her screen.
