The statement was like dropping a large stone into a pond, instantly stirring up ripples upon ripples.
"What? Professor Chi didn’t pass the D-level assessment?"
"It can’t be... her capabilities are so strong..."
"How do you know?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novｅlfire.net
The person showed others the chat history: "I have a friend who also participated in this promotion training class, and she just gossiped with me, saying someone was kicked out for violating rules and talking back to the assessor. When I asked for details, I couldn’t believe he was talking about Professor Chi!"
Everyone looked at the phone, and not only did the other party describe the process in great detail, but they also snapped a photo.
In the photo, Chi Gui was seen looking coldly at Lil.
The evidence was irrefutable, and everyone was shocked and incredulous.
"That being said, I’ve always found it odd. If Professor Chi’s capabilities are truly that formidable, why have I never heard of her before? And besides, our research project’s initial concept was brought forth by Academician Peng... But he said it was Professor Chi’s idea..."
Nobody knew who uttered that sentence, but the entire research institute fell silent.
At that moment, someone noticed Shi Liyun in the corner and asked aloud, "Academician Shi, you and Professor Chi are from the same country, so just how capable is she truly?"
Shi Liyun was on her phone, reporting to her master about Chi Gui’s failure in the D-level promotion assessment, when she heard the others asking, she fell silent for a moment, then shook her head, "I don’t interact much with Professor Chi normally... but it’s true that she has never been promoted to an Academician..."
As she spoke, others naturally came to the conclusion that Chi Gui was not promoted to an Academician because of insufficient abilities.
"It’s really strange, why would Academician Peng protect someone like that?" someone wondered.
Although it was fine for someone of a professor’s level to become a member of the D-level International Medical Alliance, it was abnormal for Peng to pay such attention.
"If she truly didn’t pass the D-level promotion assessment... just the thought of being led by someone so incompetent makes me uncomfortable."
"Back in our country, I am at least at the level of an Academician..."
Listening to the others’ discussions, Shi Liyun’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly spoke up, "Actually, I’ve always felt that Doctor Wen Ruan is very suitable for this project..."
Facing the gaze of others, she steadied her nerves, then finally voiced the opinion she had been holding back for a long time, "He comes from a medical family and is the only person who in recent years has been exceptionally promoted to an A-level Medical Scholar at such a young age... Most importantly, he is Academician Peng’s prized pupil. No matter how you look at it, he is more suited for this project than Professor Chi!"
"Indeed..." someone chimed in.
Wen Ruan was mild-mannered and warm-hearted, plus handsome to boot. Even though he hadn’t been at the research institute for long, he had already won everyone’s favor.
"I heard Academician Peng has returned from M country, so when he comes to the institute, shall we suggest it to him?" another female researcher proposed.
The others didn’t say a word, but they didn’t oppose it either.
After Chi Gui and several other researchers, including Wen Ruan, finished their discussion and came out, Peng Xiao just happened to return from outside.
He saw Chi Gui, paused, about to say something.
Suddenly, a researcher stood up and said to Peng Xiao, "Academician Peng, I strongly request that we change the lead of this research project from Chi Gui to Wen Ruan!"
Peng Xiao was stunned.
Then, more than a dozen others also stood up, voicing their agreement.
"We also request a change in leadership!"
