Chapter 209 Deep Virtual Reality 36
Because Xie Ning was not under Professor Lillian's jurisdiction, she was not affected in any way; at most, she had to write a medical report.
Jiang Teng wasn't on duty last night and only learned about the news this morning from the morning news. He also knew that Xie Ning had gone to the observation area yesterday, so when he saw Xie Ning early this morning, he made a point of asking him a few questions. The other two assistants also comforted him.
After all, we're all colleagues, and we usually get along quite well.
Even Dr. Ji asked a few questions, saying, "Professor Lillian and her team's experiments are very dangerous, but she is always meticulous. This is the first time an accident has happened, and she is probably furious."
Sensing the mockery in Dr. Ji's words, Xie Ning was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Dr. Ji and Professor Lillian did not have a good relationship?
It was Jiang Teng who cleared up Xie Ning's confusion, "It's not that their relationship is bad. Director Crete and Professor Lillian's relationship is even worse, while Dr. Ji and Director Crete have a pretty good relationship."
Jiang Teng gave Xie Ning a knowing look.
"Ahem—what grudge do Director Crete and Professor Lillian have this time?" Xie Ning deliberately acted like a gossip, successfully arousing Jiang Teng's desire to share.
"I'm not entirely sure about that either."
The person who knew best was actually Chu Qing, Director Crete's favorite assistant. He had just followed Dr. Ji for a long time, so he knew more than the average person. This matter was not easy to discuss with others, but it was not difficult to discuss with his own people.
"A long time ago, Professor Lillian and Director Crete had a fierce argument over the ownership of an experimental subject... In the end, Director Crete was demoted and it took him a long time to get back to his current position... Just recently, as you know, it was about the experimental subject that was stolen by the rebels."
The initial applicant was Director Crete, but the application was not approved. The test subject was given to Professor Lillian, who essentially snatched it away. When this news came, Director Crete almost exploded.
But there's nothing you can do; rank matters. Professor Lillian is one of the senior professors in the experimental area, and Director Crete used to be one too, but now... well, he's still a step behind.
"And what about Dr. Ji?" The way he was addressed was different. Xie Ning only knew that Dr. Ji was quite respected here.
“We’re not the same.” Jiang Teng glanced at the Norton Technologies logo on the wall and shook his head. “After all, we belong to different companies. Dr. Ji is a special appointee of Huarui, but he has the same status as Professor Lillian at Norton.”
Then, looking at Xie Ning with a teasing expression, he said, "I remember your teacher was Professor Leander. He was very famous. Back then, Hua Rui wanted to hire him, but he refused. Professor Leander was not tempted by money."
After all, he comes from a very good background and doesn't need to work in the experimental area. He could have opened his own laboratory, which would have been much better. However, Professor Leander's laboratory is affiliated with the university and he only supervises current students and graduate students.
Otherwise, Xie Ning wouldn't have ended up here. Even though the pay here is really good, Jiang Teng has to admit that high salaries are also linked to high risks.
“Professor Leander is a pure person.” He focuses solely on various mechanical experiments, and his research direction differs from Dr. Ji’s.
Professor Leander's research focuses on motion analysis and control, specifically on artificial intelligence.
The two men chatted as they pushed a cart loaded with mechanical parts. Jiang Teng mostly shared gossip. This honest-looking young man always attracted people who couldn't resist sharing with him, since he seemed to be very tight-lipped.
After swiping their irises, the two stepped into the elevator. Suddenly, a loud bang caught their attention, and then the elevator began to shake violently, with the overhead lights flashing incessantly.
"Due to interference from an unknown magnetic field, the elevator is malfunctioning and is currently being forced to stop. Please crouch down against the wall to protect your body..." Cono's voice rang out.
Xie Ning and Jiang Teng exchanged a glance and did as instructed, as a sudden drop in the elevator could easily cause injury.
With a bang, the elevator stopped at a certain point, and Jiang Teng's head hit the hard metal wall, causing him to burst into tears from the pain.
The elevator doors opened, and Xie Ning and Jiang Teng looked over amidst the noise. They saw many armed men running in that direction, followed by bioengineers, whose shoulder patches had green edges.
Separated by a metal door, the situation inside was not visible. Jiang Teng wasn't that curious; he was only there to check the elevator. This was a dangerous observation zone, and he didn't want to stay there. "Keno, the elevator is broken. Please notify the nearest maintenance personnel to come and repair it."
