Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Monster
Of course, he didn’t know that Jiang Cheng had already brought the finished Genetic Evolution Potion to the Imperial Capital, and even had meetings with the leadership to start human experimentation. So now when he looked at Jiang Cheng, it was as if he were looking at a junior, indifferent, or even disdainful.
He was also very unwilling to take Jiang Cheng for a visit to the School of Life Sciences as requested by the principal. So at this moment, Shi Yigong’s face was dark and filled with extreme seriousness.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Cheng saw Shi Yigong’s expression and couldn’t help but secretly chuckle. Did he offend this professor somehow? Otherwise, why would he have such a look, seemingly looking down on him?
"Ahem, Professor Shi, what is with that expression? Hurry up and welcome Comrade Jiang Cheng." Principal Wu saw Shi Yigong’s expression and secretly thought it was not good, fearing Jiang Cheng might get upset.
He had pleaded persistently, and only then did Major General Xiang Dong agree to bring Jiang Cheng to visit Huaqing, and he couldn’t let Vice Principal Shi mess it up.
"Oh, oh, alright, Comrade Jiang Cheng, welcome to our School of Life Sciences at Huaqing for a visit." Shi Yigong said weakly, extending his hand in a very flat manner, intending to shake hands with Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng smiled, extended his hand for a light handshake, then turned to Principal Wu and calmly said, "Principal Wu, why don’t you lead the way and let’s go inside."
"Alright, Professor Shi, quickly lead the way and take Comrade Jiang Cheng to your laboratory for a visit? Show him some of your research projects?" Principal Wu glared at Shi Yigong.
Shi Yigong said nothing, silently walking ahead, leading Jiang Cheng and the others to the laboratory at the School of Life Sciences.
At Huaqing University, within the laboratory of the School of Life Sciences, many personnel conducting research were already waiting. They stopped their work, waiting for Jiang Cheng and the principal to arrive.
A few professors who didn’t know who Jiang Cheng was saw him walking in front of Principal Wu with his hands behind his back and were immensely bewildered. Who was this young man, and why did the prominent figures in front seem to hold him in such regard? Were their eyes deceiving them?
Moreover, seeing that among this group there was the famous Major General Xiang Dong from Beijing, they were even more shocked.
This young man carried such a big demeanor? Even those truly prestigious young heirs from Beijing, or those with second-generation military backgrounds, would hardly have the privilege of walking side by side with Major General Xiang Dong, would they?
Yet this young man, exuding a unique aura, could cause the principal of Huaqing University to willingly walk behind him, and Major General Xiang Dong from Beijing walked alongside him; it was simply outrageous!
Several professors and researchers who were waiting for Jiang Cheng to visit were now filled with disbelief!
"Young friend Jiang Cheng, this is our Structural Biology Research Institute at Huaqing University, personally managed by Vice Principal Shi. It is the pride of Huaqing University." Vice Principal Wu pointed to the laboratories in front of them and continued, "Huaqing University’s structural biology program has always been top-notch nationally, thanks to our Vice Principal Shi."
Hearing Principal Wu praising him, Shi Yigong immediately raised his head proudly. Under his leadership, Huaqing’s School of Life Sciences was continually advancing towards being the nation’s number one, making significant progress each year compared to before; this was something he was proud of.
Jiang Cheng nodded, nonchalantly saying, "Hmm, I have long heard that Huaqing University is top-notch in its fields domestically. Can you show me what research projects you are working on?"
Research projects they are working on?
Several professors hearing this phrase from Jiang Cheng immediately put on a wary expression. It’s natural, considering a university’s research projects and related materials are extremely sensitive and require confidentiality; how could they let outsiders see it?
Seeing the professors with eyes like they were guarding against a thief, Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly and said to Principal Wu, "Principal Wu, I simply intend to offer you some guidance, with no intention of stealing your labor results."
Jiang Cheng’s words were full of sincerity. The research topics at Huaqing University did not interest him at all. In his eyes, these were quite elementary and would never catch his attention, not to mention the possibility of stealing them to publish under his name.
Yet the professors had a different thought.
Besides the fact that Jiang Cheng wanting to see their ongoing research projects was very impolite, the words Jiang Cheng said afterward made them even more annoyed.
Simply offer a little guidance to them? Guidance, simply?
Though the professors said nothing, they felt infuriated, as if they were on the verge of exploding.
Since they’ve served as professors or researchers at Huaqing University, when have they ever suffered such humiliation? Jiang Cheng’s words, in their view, were blatant provocation, a direct insult to their research achievements, and a lack of respect for their work!
"Didn’t you say you wanted to guide us? Fine, our project on ’Atomic Resolution Structure of Mammalian Apoptosome’ is almost finished; let’s see if you can point out any shortcomings." Shi Yigong, seeing the shifting expressions of those professors, couldn’t suppress his own anger, so he simply said to Jiang Cheng.
Principal Wu noticed something was off and wanted to step in but was gently patted on the shoulder by Major General Xiang Dong, who gestured for him to step back, and he wisely did so.
Major General Xiang Dong now looked as though he was anticipating a good show, knowing the real reason Jiang Cheng came to the Imperial Capital—to offer the national Genetic Evolution Potion Technology.
Frankly, if it were in the past, Major General Xiang Dong, before meeting Jiang Cheng, would never have believed in the possibility of such an incredible technology. But Jiang Cheng had indeed developed this ultra-futuristic technology, demonstrating just how monstrous and terrifying he was!
It’s merely a research project at Huaqing University. Even if Jiang Cheng hasn’t delved deeply into this specific field, with his abilities, finding flaws would probably be simple. Major General Xiang Dong didn’t worry about Jiang Cheng making a fool of himself; rather, he was eager to witness Vice Principal Shi’s reaction.
