"Is there a planner in Vice Manager Rong’s team who studied mechanics?"
In the end, Qi Ruwen curiously asked.
Rong Zhi slightly raised her eyebrows, "Yes."
Qi Ruwen nodded, "I originally thought the Rong family’s proposal had quite a deep understanding of mechanics. Turns out there’s a top student in mechanics. I just don’t know if he came along today. I have some questions about mechanical design I’d like to ask him."
Qi Ruwen didn’t suspect Rong Zhi, after all, in his eyes, the other was already impressive with her company management and excellent medical skills. She couldn’t possibly have expertise in mechanics as well, right?
Besides, Rong Zhi is only a few years old, hasn’t even attended university yet, she is at most interested, but in-depth study is still lacking.
Bai Tingxun suddenly looked up, gave Qi Ruwen a rather strange glance.
Qi Ruwen laughed, "What’s the matter, Secretary Bai? Or perhaps the planner didn’t come today? It’s okay, we can see him tomorrow."
"Sorry President Qi, our team only consists of me, Vice Manager Rong, and a Planner Fang. He’s on leave today and will arrive later." Bai Tingxun smiled gently, explaining to him quietly.
With a sidelong glance at Rong Zhi’s face, seeing she wasn’t displeased, Bai Tingxun cautiously told Qi Ruwen about Fang Xuezhen.
"That Planner Fang..." Qi Ruwen paused.
He didn’t expect Rong Zhi’s team to only have three people. In that case, Planner Fang was the only one who qualified.
Better find a chance to ask him. As for what Bai Tingxun said about Fang Xuezhen not participating in the proposal, he wasn’t very convinced.
Qi Ruwen intended to mention Planner Fang to Rong Zhi, but Gu Qinwu told him the project head of the Mechanical Engineering Institute had arrived, so the topic was interrupted. Gu Qinwu went to meet them and they quietly waited.
Soon, Gu Qinwu returned with two people to the meeting room.
"This is Professor Liu, and this is Assistant Lin."
Behind him, a middle-aged man in a dark gray suit walked ahead, his expression calm, exuding a rich scholarly air. Next to him was a young man, around twenty-three or twenty-four.
After introducing both, Gu Qinwu invited them to sit across from Rong Zhi. Unfortunately, after saying it twice, neither moved.
He turned his head, seeing Liu Yue Zhang and Lin Qiming looking in one direction, eyes filled with inexplicable excitement. He was somewhat confused, following their gaze, meeting the sight of the young man’s gaze.
The fox-like eyes slightly curved, a gentle smile.
Lin Qiming’s expression tensed, immediately regaining composure, "Teacher Rong!"
Liu Yue Zhang smiled warmly at the youth, though puzzled, he still politely called "Dr. Rong."
Currently, Rong Zhi holds no official position domestically or internationally, and can only be addressed by her academic title as Professor. Yet, these two words were enough to confuse others present.
Especially after they seated, both chatted with Rong Zhi as if they were quite familiar.
Qi Ruwen glanced between the two groups repeatedly, taking a while before withdrawing his gaze, noticing Lin Qiming’s excitement, he slowly asked, "Professor Liu... you know each other?"
"Hmm?" Liu Yue Zhang didn’t catch on initially. After a moment, he chuckled lightly, "I saw Dr. Rong upon arriving."
Standing up, he tidied his collar, his right thumb tucked into his palm, four fingers together extending his arm towards Rong Zhi, showing respect, speaking seriously and rigorously, "This is a reserved first-level member of the Mechanical Engineering Institute, Mai Lun University’s mechanics Ph.D., Dr. Rong Zhi."
Liu Yue Zhang craftily mentioned the Engineering Institute first, then the identity, intentionally or unintentionally associating Rong Zhi with the Institute, letting others realize she’s an Institute member.
He secretly chuckled, complimenting his own cleverness!
Qi Ruwen was genuinely baffled.
The significance of the National Mechanical Engineering Institute’s level is known to anyone who has attended school, similar to the Medical Research Institute, directly under the state, with distinct level classifications, and first-level being the highest, S-Class, with only four people having become first-level members domestically.
Those four, each are of academician level.
If Liu Yue Zhang wasn’t kidding, it means Rong Zhi not only is a reserved first-level member of the Institute, but also a state-reserved academician.
Qi Ruwen bit his tongue hard, shocked by his own thoughts.
Gu Qinwu was equally astounded, he raised his head blankly, stared at Liu Yue Zhang, daringly asked, "Professor Liu, are you joking? Vice Manager Rong is only eighteen this year, how, how could it be..."
