Chapter 559: Chapter 558 Huangyang County Fifth Middle School Education History
Kong Yuren’s anger surprised Qin Yanyang.
She looked at the biology professor in astonishment. Although he had always been dissatisfied with her, he had never been so angry. She frowned and said, "You don’t seem to be in a very good mood today. Do you need to go outside to calm down before we continue?"
She had already made great efforts to control her own emotions.
In the past, when dealing with military personnel, she could be decisive and forceful, but with these scientists, who possessed extremely high abilities in certain areas, she had to try to keep her demeanor as gentle as possible.
The project was led by Kong Yuren, and most of the experts involved had good relations with Kong Yuren—many of them were elites cultivated by the Kong family.
When she took over here, her grandfather had reminded her to be sufficiently tolerant towards the Kong family, and as long as it didn’t involve a violation of fundamental principles, she could turn a blind eye.
"No need; my emotions are stable. Miss Qin, I want to ask you, now that our research has encountered problems and is at a standstill, and I have contacted experts overseas who, if we collaborate, there is a great possibility of overcoming this difficulty and achieving a historic breakthrough in this significant research sooner, why do you disagree with my proposal?" Kong Yuren asked loudly.
"It’s about this matter after all," Qin Yanyang smiled a little and patiently said, "I have already explained that this project is concerning the future of our country and is a highly confidential matter that can only be independently completed by our Divine Continent Country. It is impossible to cooperate with foreign forces; this is a basic principle."
"Academic is borderless, and the patent rights would still be in our hands, but we could receive substantial support from numerous overseas experts, which could expedite the completion of this project. I think this won’t have any negative impact," Kong Yuren insisted.
Qin Yanyang shook her head and said, "I have said before, it’s not just that I disagree personally, the upper echelons also won’t agree. Even if this research project is shelved, we absolutely cannot let foreign forces get involved."
"You...you are hindering the progress of human technology. Do you realize what it means for all humanity if this project succeeds? You...you are too stubborn." Kong Yuren was so angry that his face turned red as he pointed at Qin Yanyang and spoke.
Qin Yanyang gave him a fleeting glance.
Only these scientific experts could talk to her like this. Would anyone else dare to try?
Once Kong Yuren’s emotions had stabilized a little, Qin Yanyang continued to introduce, "I just introduced him to you. This is Yang Fei, my husband. Of course, you can disregard his identity as my husband and just consider him as a researcher."
"A researcher?" Kong Yuren paused, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses that had slid down a bit due to his excitement, and looked at Yang Fei for the first time.
Very young, handsome, and sunny in appearance.
But could this be a researcher?
Kong Yuren’s face showed disappointment, and even a sense of grief as he criticized, "Are you trying to let him join this project just for the sake of vanity? What capabilities can such a young person have to be considered a researcher?"
Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but laugh and said to Yang Fei, "He’s looking down on you."
Yang Fei remained silent.
Ever since Professor Kong Yuren had entered, he kept criticising Qin Yanyang non-stop. On several occasions, he was so close to taking action, but considering Qin Yanyang’s patience, he restrained himself.
Now that this man was looking down on him, Yang Fei knew he had to stand up for his wife’s honor.
"Um, Professor Kong, right?" Yang Fei looked at Kong Yuren and spoke.
Kong Yuren glanced at him and said, "That’s me."
"Before you came in, my wife was telling me about you, saying that you are a biology professor who returned from abroad, and that you have a high level of expertise in human genetics. The scientific projects you’ve been involved in over the past few years have achieved significant results, and once truly successful, it could change the history of mankind," Yang Fei said to Kong Yuren.
Kong Yuren’s expression softened a lot.
He didn’t expect that Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei had been discussing him before he entered, and from the tone and attitude of Yang Fei, there was a lot of respect for him.
"However, I heard that your project has encountered a big trouble over the past year and has made no progress anymore, is that right?" Yang Fei changed the topic and asked.
Kong Yuren frowned and said, "That’s right." Then, looking at Yang Fei, he asked, "Miss Qin just said you are a researcher too. Which school did you graduate from?"
"I graduated from Huangyang County Fifth Middle School," Yang Fei said.
Kong Yuren was taken aback, and then several black lines appeared between his brows.
Huangyang County Fifth Middle School?
Damn it, are you kidding me?
Qin Yanyang burst into a smile on the side. This guy, never serious.
"Say that again," Kong Yuren thought he had misheard.
"Huangyang County Fifth Middle School. Uh, to be precise, I dropped out at thirteen, that was just the second year of junior high," Yang Fei said.
Kong Yuren’s face turned ashen as he looked towards Qin Yanyang; he felt these young people were showing him no respect at all, this was utter nonsense!
So basically illiterate!
In Kong Yuren’s eyes, not to mention dropping out in middle school, even those who graduated from high school were considered illiterate.
"Minister Qin, I’m not joking with you," Kong Yuren turned to Qin Yanyang seriously.
Qin Yanyang smiled and nodded, "I’m not joking either. Starting today, my husband will join your research team to help you overcome the last hurdle."
Kong Yuren was shocked, "What are you joking about, him?"
Qin Yanyang earnestly said, "Yes, him."
Kong Yuren was so angry he couldn’t speak, a deep disappointment showing in his eyes, and deep inside he was already shook, feeling that staying here was the greatest disrespect to his own learning.
"Professor Kong, could you please take me to the research lab to see? I need to see your current results before I can determine whether I can help you continue with the next stages of drug synthesis," Yang Fei said to Kong Yuren.
Kong Yuren looked at Yang Fei, who appeared very earnest, and he almost couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Acting as if he really knows what he’s doing.
But this is the most rigorous biological research; lack of real talent and learning would immediately become apparent.
Thinking this, a sudden thought struck him as he looked at Qin Yanyang, "Minister Qin, are you sure you want to let him join?"
Qin Yanyang was very confident in Yang Fei’s medical skills; she had carefully considered it before bringing Yang Fei here, and the ancient formula Yang Fei had previously helped Li Xuantong perfect had already been studied by professionals.
So she was completely confident in Yang Fei’s expertise in medicine.
"The decisions I make, I do not change," Qin Yanyang said decisively.
Kong Yuren said, "This is simply outrageous. Minister Qin, how about we make a bet?"
Qin Yanyang looked at him in surprise and said, "A bet?"
"Yes. If your husband really has the capability, then naturally it will be a cause for celebration, and I can even promise that I will let him take complete charge of the next project. But if he isn’t up to it, you will have to consider my suggestion that we collaborate with the Cavendish family to achieve this research," Kong Yuren said.
Qin Yanyang’s eyebrows furrowed and a sharp look flashed through her eyes as she stared at Kong Yuren, "Firstly, my husband’s capability doesn’t need to be proven to you; secondly, this project must be completed solely by our Divine Continent Country. Of course, if the Cavendish family has talents in this area, they can come to help, but the condition is that he must detach from their family, join Divine Continent Country, and stay here forever to conduct research."
"You... you this..." Kong Yuren pointed at Qin Yanyang, too angry to speak.
This woman is too domineering, too assertive!
Qin Yanyang ignored him, instead turning to Yang Fei, "Husband, you see, my pressure is very high now, it’s all up to you whether we break through."
Yang Fei had never conducted this kind of formal system of drug synthesis trials and he too had no confidence, but he still said with a firm tone, "Don’t worry, I won’t let my wife down."
