Chapter 1560: Goal Achieved

Wei Yong was a little confused, but he quickly calmed down and nodded politely to Jesse before looking at Dean Xue, "Dean, you are looking for me."

Dean Xue pointed at the sofa, his expression intimidating without being angry, "Sit down and talk."

Wei Yong hummed, walked to the sofa and sat down, his hands clasped on his knees, his back straight.

"What's the situation between your department and Qingdao University? Why did you cause a misunderstanding with Mr. Jesse?" Dean Xue asked directly in his normal voice.

Wei Yong didn't know what Jesse's attitude was now, nor did he know how he talked to Dean Xue, but it was obvious that this issue was very serious. If it was not explained properly, some misunderstanding might occur.

After thinking for a while, Wei Yong stood up again, lowered his head, and replied: "I'm sorry, Dean, I didn't expect this matter to alarm you. I was only concerned with discussing cooperation, but neglected to communicate with Qingdao University. This is why I made a fool of myself in front of Mr. Jesse."

When Jesse heard this vague explanation, he thought that the old man was indeed cunning and had his own way of speaking.

But if he wants to get away with it like this, then wouldn’t he have made this trip in vain?

Jesse twisted his clasped fingers and sighed, "Actually, it's my fault. I should have made it clear to you, Engineer Wei, when I knew that the artificial life system was Qingdao University's patent. Now Qingdao University wouldn't have misunderstood that your Institute of Science and Technology wanted to steal their achievements. I'm really sorry."

After a pause, Jesse looked at Wei Yong again and said, "I know Engineer Wei very well. Even if it's for performance, he wouldn't take things from a group of students."

After saying that, he sighed again.

At this time, Wei Yong's face was almost blue and red.

Jesse's words seemed to explain it for him, but every message he revealed was fatal to him.

One patent, one stolen research results.

Dean Xue had always attached great importance to the patent issue. Obviously, everything had been prepared, but Wei Yong did not expect that Qingdao University would be one step ahead of him and apply for it in advance.

That would have been fine. He thought that if he could sign the contract with DO for the project, when he reported to Dean Xue, it would at least offset some of the unpleasantness. But now... not only did he not sign the project, but he also had to report to Dean Xue.

Stealing research results is a particularly serious matter. If it gets out, not only will your reputation be damaged, but other effects will also be exposed.

Now, Jesse's call was not directed at Wei Yong alone, but at the entire Institute of Science and Technology.

The more Wei Yong thought about it, the more frightened he became. His head was buzzing and he didn't dare to look at the expression on Dean Xue's face.

Dean Xue's face was not looking good, but he did not lose his composure in front of outsiders. He just said, "The misunderstanding of stealing research results is indeed a bit big. Thank you Mr. Jesse for letting us know. We will give an explanation to Qingdao University about this matter."

When Wei Yong heard this, he broke out in cold sweat.

He knew too well the hidden meaning of this 'explanation'.

"Dean Xue, you are too polite. If there is any misunderstanding, just explain it clearly and it will be fine." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jesse stopped talking and looked at the time on his wrist, then stood up. "Then I won't disturb you from working for now."

Dean Xue nodded and stood up.

Soon, Jesse walked out of the office.

After everyone left, Dean Xue's expression became gloomy.
