Qin Sheng looked at the metal box but didn't immediately take it. Instead, she glanced at He Yiming.

As expected, the man once again rushed forward and stood between Qin Sheng and the box, forming a wide barrier with his body.

Qin Sheng pinched her fingertips; her hands were a little itchy.

However, I refrained from making a move.

Because Dean Sun's face had darkened again, and his voice was filled with obvious anger: "Professor He, I said that the goods have already been promised to Dean Song. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame me for calling for help!"

He Yiming was inwardly groaning, but a few days ago he had unexpectedly learned about the use and origin of this thing, and he knew all too well how valuable it was. He didn't want to give up as long as there was even the slightest possibility!

Previously, I didn't know this thing was so precious, and I couldn't compete with Tian Da or Dean Sun, but now...

He Yiming glanced at the young man and woman with cold faces beside him, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "How about this, this matter is not something that two young people can decide. Could you ask Dean Sun to help me contact Professor Song? I want to talk to him personally!"

Personally... Personally my ass!

He's just a third-level professor at Tianjin University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. I really don't know where he got the nerve to suggest talking to Song Yi in person!

Since the other party has no shame, Dean Sun is no longer willing to give him any face.

He said coldly, "Dean Song is not only the dean of the School of Biology at Tianjin University, overseeing the affairs of the entire school, but he is also the former patriarch of the Song family of Tiandu, with educational empires all over China. He has to conduct experiments and manage miscellaneous matters. Professor He, do you really think he can spare the time to talk to you?"

Professor Zheng chimed in at the opportune moment, smiling as he said, "My house is right next to Professor Song's, so I'm the most qualified to speak on this."

Professor Zheng sighed deliberately, "There are just too many people going to the Song family every day to see Dean Song. Poor Song family butler, he does nothing all day but receive and see off guests."

"By the way, just yesterday I ran into several groups: the director of the Shanghai Education Bureau, the dean of the Biology Department of Tianjin Normal University, and yes, a member of the Chinese Academic Association. I heard Butler Song call him Chairman Shan. Could he be the chairman of the Academic Association?"

He Yiming's lips were so stiff he could barely curve them, and his face had turned a deep purplish-red. He forced a smile and said, "How could that be? Everyone knows that the president of the Chinese Academic Association is surnamed Lin. President Lin is in poor health and doesn't go out much anymore."

Professor Zheng suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see. That must be the vice president of the academic association. That's right, that should be it. I remember one of the two vice presidents was named Shan something Liang."

"Shan Qiliang." The girl's cool voice rang out, and all three of them turned their gazes toward her.

Dean Sun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something. He slammed his hand on the table and laughed in an exaggerated and flamboyant manner: "Oh dear, look what you're all arguing about. The current president of the Human Academic Association is right here. Is there anything she doesn't know? Just ask her!"

Professor Zheng's eyes lit up, and he pretended to pat his forehead, saying, "That's right! Sigh, as expected, as people get older, their memory deteriorates. They even forgot such an important thing!"

She turned to look at He Yiming, smiling kindly and amiably: "Professor He, is there anything else you want to know about the Academic Association? You may not know this because you are focused on your research, but although Qin Sheng is currently studying at Tianjin University, she is also the only successor of President Lin and the current president of the Academic Association."

"It was just a coincidence that we ran into her here. Otherwise, she's usually even busier than Dean Song. The line of people waiting to see her stretches from the gate of Tianjin University all the way to her house!"

What do you mean the line stretched from the gate of Tianjin University all the way to her house? Why don't you just say it would circle the Earth head to toe?!

Moreover, when did he ever say he was interested in the academic association? Wasn't it just that Professor Zheng mentioned Chairman Shan and he only mentioned it briefly? How did it suddenly turn into him asking about the academic association?

If He Yiming still couldn't tell that one of the two was making sarcastic remarks and the other was being sarcastic by now, he would have wasted all those years as a professor.

He was so angry that his face turned red and his hands trembled.

But it's clear now that the other party has no intention of giving him the item. If he continues to argue, he might end up being dragged out by security guards called by Dean Sun.

It's worth noting that Tianjin University of Aeronautics and Astronautics is located diagonally opposite Tianjin University; the main gates of the two universities are indeed diagonally opposite each other.

He swore that if he were to be dragged out by the security guards of Tianjin University, the news would spread throughout Tianjin University, Tianjin University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and even Tsinghua University and Tianjin Normal University (these four universities are all located in this area), and he would have completely lost face.

He Yiming glared at Qin Sheng hatefully, then walked out without saying a word.

Qin Sheng: "..."

She only said three words from beginning to end, so why was she the one glaring at after it was all over?

Of course, it's because her face is so tender, she looks like an easy persimmon.

Fu Jingheng looked at his little girl's displeased face, chuckled, and called out to her for the first time, "Professor He, right? Wait a minute."

He Yiming paused, not really wanting to pay attention to the other person, but then he thought, he's just a young man, he can't be some important figure, can he?

He has completely lost face today. Since someone is offering to help him save face, why shouldn't he take it?

Thinking this, He Yiming stopped completely, slowly turned his body to the side, and raised his chin slightly, asking, "What is it?"

With that arrogant look on his face, not only Qin Sheng, but even Fu Jingheng's hands started to itch.

However, he held back and asked instead, "I just heard Professor He say that he could persuade 'that person' to meet with Dean Sun. I wonder who Professor He is referring to as 'that person'?"

Speaking of 'that person', He Yiming straightened his back even more, his nostrils flared even higher, and he chuckled, "Of course it's Professor Fu, our honorary professor at Tianjin University of Aeronautics and Astronautics!"

Before Fu Jingheng could ask any more questions, he continued talking.

"Our Professor Fu is not only a top-level researcher at the Academy of Aeronautical Sciences, possessing a wealth of aerospace knowledge and technology that surpasses current international standards, but he is also proficient in various fields!"

"He once built a nuclear reactor with a conversion rate that was almost twice as high as that of our nuclear science institute's director. It has now been included in the national key project and is being vigorously researched and developed. I believe it will be applied in practice in the near future!"

"He can also restore cultural relics and antiques. No matter how severely damaged a cultural relic or antique is, once it's in his hands, there's no one he can't repair!"

"And his cursive and clerical script calligraphy is still hanging in our school's Chinese department as a model!"
