Moreover, Zhao Haixue, who was usually proud, did not leave a good impression on her classmates, constantly trying to assert her presence. At this moment, naturally, there were people who wanted to speak up for Tang Shu.
Zhao Haixue didn’t expect anyone to take Tang Shu’s side. Looking around, she realized that everyone was watching her with a spectator’s gaze. Even the girls who usually hung out with her averted their eyes and didn’t come forward to defend her. A sense of shame and annoyance surged in her heart like never before.
With a resentful glance at the person involved, she walked towards the back of the classroom in her rather high heels.
This scene looked even more like a hasty retreat.
Tang Shu frowned, feeling a headache coming on.
If this were Damo, a slap from her, no matter who the other party was, would have guaranteed that they wouldn’t bother her again.
Should she... take the chance to assert her dominance with force, too?
At Medical University, in the office building.
The publication of the Snow Soul Grass paper not only amazed many frontline medical professionals but also captured the interest of most scholars. At this point, these people had already started calling the office of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at Medical University.
As the head of the department, someone was already very busy.
"Hello, oh Director Wang, you’re looking for Professor Yu? He’s really busy at the moment, terribly sorry!"
"Oh, an interview? Our school will check Professor Yu’s availability for you, please be patient for a few days."
"You want to know where in Yun Province you can find Snow Soul Grass? I’m not very clear on that myself, but perhaps we can inform you later."
After taking more than a dozen calls, Director Liu of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department felt his mouth going dry.
After hanging up the last call, he decisively stood up and headed towards the faculty housing. When he pushed open the gate of the garden fence, he found an acquaintance had arrived before him.
"Master Xie, what brings you here today?"
"Is that you, Xiao Liu? I’ve just come to congratulate an old friend!"
Director Liu, referred to as Xiao Liu, coughed awkwardly upon hearing this address. It had been more than a decade since he had taken up this position, and everyone would normally address him as Director Liu. Only a few highly respected elders could get away with calling him Xiao Liu.
These were his seniors.
He quickly dragged over a stool to sit down, eager to hear what the two elders were discussing. As for the questions on the phone, they could always talk about that later. Though the callers were anxious, he, too, was eager to know more about Snow Soul Grass.
Feeling reassured, Director Liu perked up his ears, ready to absorb the wisdom of his seniors. However, what he heard next was staggering news.
"Master Yu, are you really going to start a research project on Snow Soul Grass at Medical University?!"
"Yes, the Medical College’s approval has come through. If nothing goes awry, we will enter the research phase next week."
Director Liu’s face lit up with joy, unable to contain his smile. After all, it had been two years since Master Yu last led a research team, and the results at the time had made a splash in the entire medical community.
Two years later, Medical University was about to embark on another major project, drawing attention from all quarters. This was significant both for the reputation of Medical University and for its future student recruitment and development.
"Master Yu, will you be using the same laboratory as before? Do you need any new equipment? Don’t worry, whatever you need, I will make sure it’s taken care of!"
What couldn’t be done, money would do.
