His movements were slow, as if the light piece of paper weighed a ton.

“Liu Gong,” Zhang Mingyuan’s voice carried an unprecedented weariness and… compromise, “Give this to Comrade Mingzhao.”

Liu Wenjun picked up the note with a puzzled look, and her eyes widened instantly after just one glance! It clearly stated:

Material requisition slip

Project Name: Mingzhao (Family Studio) - Prototype of Mechanical Assisted Limbs

Date: XXXX Year X Month X Day

Liu Wenjun's hands were trembling slightly as she held the approval slip! She simply couldn't believe her eyes!

It's approved! Dean Zhang not only approved it, but even allowed preliminary assembly to be done at home!

Although regulatory conditions were attached, this was already an unprecedented and enormous concession! What exactly happened in these three days? Was the loophole that Mingzhao pointed out really so serious that it made the dean so "aweful"?

"Dean...this..." Liu Wenjun was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.

"Take it." Zhang Mingyuan waved his hand wearily, as if he had used up his last bit of strength. "Tell her that the materials... come and pick them up as soon as possible. As for the person at the door..." He paused, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"It's to protect her, and also... to protect the technology. To let her... understand."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Dean! Thank you, Dean!"

Liu Wenjun was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Clutching the approval slip tightly as if it were a lifeline, she turned and rushed out of the office. She wanted to tell Mingzhao this wonderful news immediately!
