Chapter 1524: No Revocation of Patent Application
**
The next day.
Qi Hui went to meet Wei Yong, and made an appointment at the place where they met last time.
"...As for the patent, I only found out later from what Professor Liu from our department said about it that he had already submitted the application in advance."
Qi Hui explained with a wry smile on his lips.
Wei Yong tapped the table lightly with his fingers, but his face did not show the anger that Qi Hui had imagined, which made him feel a little relieved.
"Director Qi, there is no need to blame yourself. It is understandable that the teachers in your department would behave this way." Wei Yong said calmly.
Qi Hui smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
"But... doing something like this without prior notice will affect everyone's relationship." Wei Yong's eyes fell on Qi Hui's face, and his voice was quite soft.
Qi Hui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Although it was not their problem in the first place, he still lowered his posture and nodded to Wei Yong repeatedly, "Yes, Engineer Wei is right. This is indeed a bad thing to do."
Wei Yong twitched his lips slightly, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly, "Our Dean Xue attaches great importance to the patent of this project."
Qi Hui was stunned for a moment, he naturally knew Dean Xue.
A first-level researcher, he has made countless contributions to the country, but I didn't expect him to pay attention to this.
Qi Hui felt a little overwhelmed and couldn't help but curse Liu Gan in his heart. If he had said it earlier, it wouldn't have made it so difficult for everyone to step down.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Hui apologized again, "In this situation, I really do..."
Before he could even utter the words "powerless", he was interrupted by the assistant standing beside Wei Yong.
"By the way, I remember that the patent certificate has not been issued yet. Can I withdraw the application?"
Assistant Wei Yong asked Qi Hui in a tone that seemed uncertain.
Qi Hui looked at his assistant. He had thought about this problem before, but given Liu Gan's attitude that day, it would be impossible to ask him to withdraw the application.
Not only is it impossible, he might even go to Zhao Lian for help, which would make things even uglier.
And if Liu Gan makes a big deal out of this matter and reports it to Qingdao University's Office of Education, his tenure as department head will probably be over.
Qi Hui raised his hand and pinched his brows, and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible to withdraw the application, because the school has also reported it."
Wei Yong glanced at Qi Hui, as if he had expected this. He put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "It's not impossible not to withdraw the application."
Upon hearing this, Qi Hui suddenly raised his head.
Wei Yong pursed his lips and said calmly: "I have already contacted the person in charge of DO."
Qi Hui understood Wei Yong's meaning almost immediately after hearing this...
*
Qi Hui and Wei Yong didn't chat for too long. Soon, they both left the teahouse.
The weather outside was a bit gloomy, and it started raining when Qi Hui was driving back to school.
But he didn't turn around and go home, he still went to school.
At this time, in the office, Liu Gan was still sorting out materials. School was about to start in a few days, and he was very busy recently.
Just as I put the stack of documents back into the cabinet, I heard a knock on the door.
Liu Gan raised his head and saw Director Qi standing at the door. He was stunned for a second, but quickly came to his senses.
"Director Qi." Liu Gan greeted him indifferently.
Qi Hui seemed not to notice Liu Gan's attitude. He walked in, glanced at the bookcase next to him, and then looked away nonchalantly, "I want to talk to you about something."
