Chapter 557: Chapter 557: What if He Suddenly Goes Mad and Bites Someone?
Cheng Jinxi nodded and walked over to sit beside Xu Yang indifferently.
Casually picking up the lab data on the table and flipping through it.
These data had always been personally collated by Xu Yang and were recorded in great detail.
Xu Yang, standing beside Cheng Jinxi, couldn’t help but glance at him.
"This weekend, there’s a medical seminar in Huabei. You’ll go in my place." Cheng Jinxi suddenly spoke up.
"What?" Xu Yang was visibly startled for a moment, then quickly caught on, "The medical seminar in Huabei City is said to be one of the most significant and grand in recent years, both domestically and internationally. Aren’t you going yourself, Professor?"
"I have other matters."
Cheng Jinxi didn’t even lift his head and continued to casually browse through the experimental data.
Xu Yang watched him, at a loss for words.
Is it appropriate for him to attend on behalf of the professor?
He had heard that the participants at the Huabei City medical seminar were all renowned figures from home and abroad. As an obscure figure, might his attendance be...?
"I will arrange for someone to go with you. The main purpose of your visit is to learn. Don’t worry about the rest."
"Yes, I will cherish this opportunity given by Professor."
Xu Yang had no reason to refuse.
Such a prestigious medical seminar would indeed broaden one’s horizons.
It was an opportunity to network as well.
Attending such a seminar would only bring benefits, no harm.
The conversation between the two didn’t exclude Su Ge; Su Ge wasn’t particularly interested in this kind of medical seminar.
She just thought that Professor Cheng was very good at providing opportunities to students.
Following him was indeed the right choice.
"Good morning everyone..."
Qi Fei entered in a hurry, and upon seeing Professor Cheng, his expression immediately froze, "Professor?"
"Mhm." Cheng Jinxi looked back at him and nodded indifferently.
Qi Fei looked puzzled, glanced at Su Ge, then at Xu Yang.
But since neither of them responded to him, he quickly went and sat down properly at his own place.
Why is the professor here so early today?
Qi Fei was usually one of the later arrivals; soon after he came in, the other members of the lab also arrived.
Upon entering and seeing Cheng Jinxi, everyone behaved much more formally than usual. After greeting him, they conscientiously went to their seats.
Cheng Jinxi was still indifferently flipping through the experimental data in his hand, casually finishing, and then he put down the notebook and turned to look at everyone.
"Cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, a chorus of coughing erupted, as everyone hurriedly diverted their eyes, which had been sneakily peeking at him, and got busy at their lab tables.
"Any of you interested in making a trip to Bafei Country with me?"
Knowing their curiosity about his purpose, Cheng Jinxi decided not to beat around the bush and asked directly.
"What?"
Qi Fei was the first to react.
To Bafei Country? The place where the epidemic was rampant?
"Professor, can you clarify a bit?"
Others might not know the current situation in Bafei Country, but the people from their lab had been researching the epidemic for months; it was impossible for them not to be aware of the situation in Bafei Country.
That place in Bafei Country was very dangerous.
What did the professor want them to do there?
"Clinical drug guidance."
As soon as Cheng Jinxi finished speaking, no one dared to make a sound.
Everyone collectively averted their gaze, obviously no one was willing to go.
Are you kidding? Clinical drug guidance would mean direct contact with people infected with the plague.
The plague in Bafei Country was not your ordinary plague, the infected exhibited a variety of symptoms, and what if they suddenly went mad and started biting people? What if they got infected too?
