Tang Shan was scolded by his uncle, who told him to shut up and not say anything.
But just as he calmed down, he heard Wang Zheng's mockery again.
At that moment, he seemed to hear the earnest advice given to him by the old director of the research institute before he set off, and immediately his blood boiled, and he eagerly said:
"This is certainly something we're researching..."
Just as he was about to use the Imperial Capital Research Institute's reputation to put on a show, he was immediately interrupted by his teacher, Huo Lianrong.
"I am unaware of this matter, and it has nothing to do with our research institute!"
This was the first time Wang Zheng had heard Professor Huo speak. His voice was cold and icy, without any inflection, as if he had no emotions at all.
However, after hearing his words, Wang Zheng's smile became even brighter.
"Hey, that's good. Seeing how confident Director Tang is, I thought the Imperial Military Region and the research institute were already preparing to issue an ultimatum..."
Hearing Wang Zheng's mockery and seeing his uncle and teacher abandon him in an instant, Tang Shan's chubby face turned a deep liver color.
However, although he only focuses on his own interests, he is not entirely brainless.
Without the support of the military region and research institute, he knew that things were beyond saving, and at least the matter of the Heavenly Demon General could not be discussed for the time being.
'It's because I'm not strong enough. If I were also a powerful Awakened One, or even a Superhuman, would Wang Zheng still dare to be so arrogant towards me?'
Regardless, I am determined to obtain this Heavenly Demon General; let's see how my uncle deals with him afterwards.
Thinking of this, Tang Shan let out a long sigh, tried hard to control his emotions, buried his head deeply, and then remained silent.
However, despite Tang Guoan's promise, Tang Shan was still somewhat uncertain. He was genuinely worried about the Heavenly Demon General he was about to acquire and hoped that it wouldn't all fall through.
But in his view, Wang Zheng already knew the true value of the scarab crystal.
Not only did he imply to everyone in his recent soliloquy that he had already cooperated with Yunnan and could potentially exclude the Imperial Capital Research Institute, but he also brought up Chu Tianxing, who was injured for Yunnan, to use his treatment to slap the face of the Imperial Capital.
Although he was unhappy, he knew that the military region and the research institute would not fall out with him for his sake, at least not in name. So, as expected, he was immediately sidelined.
Tang Shan is a spoiled rich kid with no real skills. Although he has some cleverness, he can only endure it for now without the support of his family.
So, without his jumping around, the entire conference room finally quieted down.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Old Gu did not step in to take charge, but he was quite satisfied with Wang Zheng's handling of the situation.
Then Professor Huo Lianrong, who had just severed ties with Tangshan, spoke up:
"Major Wang, regarding the elemental scarabs you just mentioned, I would like to speak with you in detail on behalf of the Imperial Capital Research Institute and the China Scientific Psionic Research Institute..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng first raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Talking is definitely no problem, we can talk. Let's be frank and speak openly, after all, isn't this what we came here for?"
However, I don't think everyone can eavesdrop on something so confidential, after all, this is a discovery that could change the course of the world..."
Huo Lianrong agreed with Wang Zheng's statement, thinking that being cautious was the right thing to do.
Just as he was about to send all the guards out, he noticed that Wang Zheng's eyes were fixed on Tang Shan.
As soon as all eyes turned to Wang Zheng, Director Tangshan immediately jumped up.
"I am the director of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, Professor Huo's student, and one of the researchers for this project. Wang Zheng, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"
Tang Shan was naturally aware of Major Wang Zheng's groundbreaking discovery in Yunnan. Besides wanting to bring the Heavenly Demon General back to the capital for his own awakening, he might also have been hoping to join his teacher's research group to gain experience.
However, this person was quite ugly, but had very beautiful ideas. After offending Young Master Wang, he was easily excluded by a single sentence from him.
"Didn't you say before that you didn't have much talent in research?"
Whether you're being modest or have a clear understanding of yourself, I don't intend to work with you. It's either you or me; you can decide for yourselves.
People with confidence are just that arrogant. If it weren't for Wang Zheng's cooperation, they wouldn't have bothered with their collaboration in Jingnan; they would have gone straight back to the capital.
Huo Lianrong immediately turned his attention to Tang Shan, who was already restless.
Although Wang Zheng didn't know what Zhu Tou Shan was really thinking, he was a magnanimous person. Zhu Tou Shan had just been so arrogant and demanded that the military region punish him severely. It wasn't his style to not fight back or talk back.
Regardless, the first thing is to make that ugly face disappear from my sight.
So Wang Zheng continued, "Please, some irrelevant people, be considerate and don't get in the way. Everyone's busy, let's save some time!"
Tang Shan's face turned bright red, and he finally managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat.
"Wang Zheng, don't push your luck!"
Wang Zheng continued to provoke him with sarcastic remarks.
"Hey, these are the exact words your father said to me back then. Didn't you say it was an insult? How come it's become that I went too far?"
