Qiao Gaojie never thought that the person who had been away for two years would suddenly come back quietly!
When did she come back?
How long have you been back?
Why did you come back?
Various ideas popped up one after another.
However, the next second, when he looked into her eyes and saw the chilling coldness, all his thoughts vanished in an instant, and only trembling fear remained in his heart.
Because at this moment, he suddenly thought of the blunt words he had just said.
It's over.
It's all over now!
What's the point of writing a eulogy? It's probably a luxury to leave the body intact now.
Qiao Gaojie felt extremely regretful at this moment. He shouldn't have been so rude just now!
"Now, with my identity, do you think they will trust me or you?" At this time, Jian Ci leaned back on the sofa.
Although there was no expression on his face, the powerful aura still made people shudder and they almost knelt down on the spot.
Qiao Gaojie stammered, trying to save the situation, "I... no, I can explain... I..."
But Jian Ci said calmly, "You don't need to explain. I said today will be an exception for you."
This sentence made Qiao Gaojie's heart drop to the bottom. He hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, boss, I was wrong. I was just talking nonsense. Everything is my fault, all my fault!"
Jian Ci didn't listen at all. She just stood up and said, "Your tenure as director of the institute is over."
Just get up and leave.
Qiao Gaojie's face turned pale in an instant, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Boss, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I was just talking nonsense, I... I was just so angry that I lost my mind... I really didn't mean it..."
Jian Ci paused, her eyes darting over like sharp arrows, "You mean I pissed you off?"
Qiao Gaojie's hair stood on end, and he shook his head hurriedly. "No, no, no, it wasn't you. It was someone else! It was that person who said Professor Lu secretly stole my project. I got so angry that I made a mistake and ran here. I really didn't mean to cause trouble."
Lu Zongyan, who was enjoying the show from the side, immediately scolded him when he heard this: "That's nonsense! I have no interest in your projects at all, how could I possibly snatch them away!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Gaojie ignored Jian Ci and said unwillingly, "Why do you say that? I painstakingly selected those projects, and they have absolutely no problems with their prospects!"
Lu Zongyan was not to be outdone. "The prospects are fine, but the price is a problem! Don't you see how much a pill costs? How can ordinary people afford it?"
In response, Qiao Gaojie said confidently: "That medicine is a special medicine, originally provided to high-end people."
Lu Zongyan was furious when he heard this and started to yell, "Listen to yourself, are you being righteous? You're serving the rich, but what about the poor? Do the poor deserve to die?"
"But this is a special medicine. The technical costs are already there. We can't let the investors lose money, right?!"
Qiao Gaojie's words were so high-sounding.
But Lu Zongyan did not remain silent. Instead, he said, "It's true that investors shouldn't lose money, but you clearly have alternative drugs with the same medicinal properties, but you deliberately only choose the more expensive ones for research and development. What kind of a deal is that!"
Qiao Gaojie's eyes flickered slightly, but he still retorted, "The price of that medicine is too cheap, people don't want to make it."
Lu Zongyan snorted coldly and said pointedly, "There are people who are willing to do it, but you don't like the investment price, and there's no way to get you a higher honor, so you rejected it."
Qiao Gaojie's expression froze when he was seen through, and then he said decisively, "Don't talk nonsense. This project was agreed upon by the entire team, not just me."
If we didn't talk about the group, Lu Zongyan wouldn't have been angry. But when he mentioned it, his face darkened. "Don't think I don't know what you did in the station!"
Qiao Gaojie's nerves suddenly tensed up, and he subconsciously glanced at Jian Ci, forcing himself to say, "What...what did I do? Don't talk nonsense, you need evidence!"
…
Seeing the two of them about to start a quarrel in the lab, the coldness in Jian Ci's eyes grew stronger and stronger. Finally, she said coldly: "I give you two choices. One, shut up. Two, go out and argue, and whoever wins comes to talk to me."
In an instant, the two people who were arguing became quiet.
However, Qiao Gaojie felt guilty and was afraid that Jian Ci would overthink things, so he couldn't help but defend himself, "Boss, I really didn't mean it..."
A cold look covered Jian Ci's brows, and she said gloomily: "Who told you?"
Qiao Gaojie was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately said, "He's a student from Peking University! And a student of Lu Zongyan!"
When Lu Zongyan heard that he was dragging himself into this again, he was furious. "Which Peking University student? I want her to come over and confront me now!"
Qiao Gaojie believed he was right and was not afraid, "It's the one called Sun Nanyan!"
"I'll go get someone right away."
Lu Zongyan decisively asked his assistant to call someone.
Not long after, Sun Nanyan was called over.
She hadn't taken off her white coat yet, and her expression was cold and calm. She said respectfully, "Professor Lu, Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Gaojie immediately rushed over and asked impatiently, "Student Sun, in the classroom that day, were you telling others that you were planning to join Professor Lu's team because he had a cardiovascular project and was secretly looking for someone to join your team?!"
