Chapter 477: Chapter 476: Have you always been thisā¦ straightforward?
Chi Gui led Wen Ruan around the entire institute, explaining work-related matters in detail.
Afterward, she turned and asked Wen Ruan, who had been silently following behind her, āThatās all. If thereās anything you donāt understand, you can ask now.ā
Wen Ruanās lips curled into a gentle smile, āIād rather, if I have any questions in the future, be able to consult with Professor Chi personally.ā
Chi Gui slightly furrowed her brow, āWhy wouldnāt you ask your questions now instead of waiting until later?ā
Wen Ruanā¦
His smile slightly stiffened.
This Professor Chiā¦ didnāt seem like what he had imagined?
After explaining work-related matters, Chi Gui instructed the young assistant following behind to take Wen Ruan to the laboratory, then she left immediately.
The process was very businesslike, without a hint of surplus emotion.
It was the first time that Wen Ruan had been treated so coldly; he stood there dazed for a moment, then cautiously asked the young assistant, āIs Professor Chiā¦ always soā¦ straightforward?ā
The young assistant, excited to meet the legendary figure for the first time, kindly advised, āYes! Professor Chi has said, whoever drags her down, she kicks out. So you must be careful!ā
Wen Ruanā¦
He looked at the young assistantās admiring face, unable to tell if she was serious.
Wen Ruanās work was similar to Shi Liyunās; they shared a laboratory.
As he entered, Shi Liyun couldnāt help but nervously steady the equipment in front of her.
Standing at the workbench, she listened to Wen Ruanās pleasant and gentle voice thanking the young assistant and then slowly walked up to her.
The faint scent of medicine emanating from Wen Ruan made her mind momentarily waver.
In her daze, she heard Wen Ruan greet her, āHello, Iām Wen Ruan.ā
Quickly turning her head, Shi Liyun smiled elegantly, āHello, Iām Shi Liyun from Huaxia; I was just recently promoted to Academician.ā
She subtly mentioned higher position than Professor Chi.
Wen Ruanās eyes lit up.
Before Shi Liyun could rejoice, she heard him ask, āYouāre from the same country as Professor Chi? So you must know her well, right? Could you tell me about her sometime? Iāll treat you to coffee.ā
Shi Liyunā¦
So he had only heard the words āfrom Huaxiaā?
She bit her lip, trying to maintain an elegant and proper demeanor in front of Wen Ruan, āSureā¦ uhā¦ but Professor Chi has always been very serious and dedicated, just like a junior teacher, usually only interacting with renowned experts or heads of big families. We peers donāt have much interaction with herā¦ā
Her words hinted both at Chi Guiās difficult personality and her being opportunistic, only mingling with influential figures.
Wen Ruan smiled, āWith her talents, itās no wonder her peers canāt keep up with her thinking.ā
Shi Liyunās smile became somewhat strained, āYesā¦ā
After a few perfunctory agreements, Shi Liyun excused herself due to work and returned to her own workbench.
On the surface, she busied herself with work, but her nails dug deep into her palm.
ā
Time swiftly passed.
Soon, it was the day of the actual global competition.
Kyle, Lu You, and Tasiris arrived at the venue early.
Since they signed with Death Club too late, the club didnāt manage to register the world team with the event organizers in time.
Lu You and his companions still went to the previously arranged competition area instead of Death Clubās exclusive zone.
