"Um, Director Du, if I go to explain it myself, wouldn't that seem insincere due to my inadequate status? Maybe it would be better if you made the call?"

"What are you thinking, Lv Bei? If you explain and things go south, Professor Qiao gets mad and at worst he transfers your group out. We can then internally swap in another team to implement a new plan. If I go to explain and they take offense, how are we supposed to smooth things over? Hand over this great opportunity to another department as a gift?"

Director Du had a point, and Lv Bei cursed under his breath with no other choice at hand.

However, what he didn't expect was what the other party said next.

"Right, when you go to explain, try and have a chat with Professor Qiao. See if you can get him to produce a test version of the model first. We'll take responsibility for promoting it to several major national material research centers for trial usage. The feedback could help Professor Qiao recalibrate his model."

"What the hell, Director Du? Are you sending me to apologize or to offend someone? You want me to discuss this too? Why don't you just replace me completely! Haven't they already tested it through their papers?"

"You don't know shit! Since you've guessed that Professor Qiao intended to let you know of the model's existence in this manner instead of announcing it directly, maybe that's exactly what he's thinking? Alright, enough nonsense. If you handle this well, I'll personally take the credit for you! That's it, go on now."

With that said, the other side didn't give Lv Bei any chance to argue further and cut off the video.

Thinking of Qiao Ze's calm gaze, Lv Bei felt cold sweat seeping down his forehead.

He really didn't want to deal with Qiao Ze over this kind of matter.

Though he only listened to the recording of Qiao Ze's conversation with Luo Benyuan, he was sure that if Qiao Ze's model was ever put forth, it wouldn't be as simple as a Nobel Prize.

The contraption could almost explore the limits of every aspect of materials that human industrial standards could currently achieve.

If the model was as powerful as discussed in their conversation, the 21st century would undoubtedly be an era where the material industry soared, with the only regret being that the role of humans would be greatly diminished, becoming mere parameter-tweaking laborers.

Thinking of all the material scientists across the nation starting to tweak parameters collectively with computational power, Lv Bei found the director's suggestion utterly preposterous.

Expecting to test without paying? Wishful bloody thinking.

But what could he do?

With that thought, Lv Bei could only inhale deeply...

Then, turning to the young man who was still at the door, he asked, "Um, has Su left yet?" Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"Not yet, he went to the flower market with Liu Ying. Said the office feels too monotonous and that having some fresh flowers might improve the mood."

"Oh, give Liu Ying a call and tell her to bring Su back as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if they haven't chosen yet, arrange for someone to go to the flower market and send us a portion of the best-looking flowers of every variety," Lv Bei instructed.

Apologizing would be better with Su Mucheng around.

With Su present, Qiao Ze might become a bit more humanized; otherwise, just having Qiao Ze silently look at him was unbearable.

He didn't want to end up like Professor Luo, who went in fine and came out depressed.

"Alright, I'll call Liu Ying right away and then head out to buy the flowers."

Knowing the boss was in a foul mood, the young man left swiftly.
