Chapter 223 - 223: That Was Weird

Director Bull turned to Andrew, "Uncle Andrew, I want to post a picture of you and Sophia, can I?"

Andrew agreed. Director Bull was pleased. He took a picture of Sophia and Andrew and then went to edit the message.

Sophia ignored him. She sat down in a chair next to Andrew and discussed the paper with him.

The two were talking when they heard Director Bull shout, "Sophia, what's wrong with your microblog account?"

Sophia stayed for a moment and suddenly realized what was going on. Yesterday, she logged in the account of "Knowing A Person" and posted a picture of Chubby. So, it was still the KAP account.

She hurried to Director Bull, "You haven't posted it, have you? This is another account of mine."

Director Bull looked sad. "I did. There are so many comments." 

She picked up the phone and saw the message.

"Working with Andrew. A little nervous." Then there was the picture.

Nervous?! Yeah. She indeed got nervous.

Sophia took over the phone and saw that there were hundreds of comments. She refreshed the page, and the comments were over one thousand.

Was it too late for her to delete the message?

Compared with "Sophia Green of Colin High School," Sophia posted messages more on "Knowing A Person." She didn't authenticate her identity on the KAP account, so she felt free to talk. And her fans on it were not less than that one.

Netizens blew up after reading the message.

"Why do you post the picture of Sophia?"

"Why does she have Sophia's picture? Aren't they enemies?"

"They don't seem to have said anything bad about each other. It's their fans quarreling, and they tried to stop them. So, what does she mean?"

"Maybe… KAP is Sophia, is she? I can't believe it!"

"Mistake tweeting? Does the same person really own the two accounts?"

***

More and more netizens commented. It was too late to delete the message.

She sighed and withdrew the phone. It seemed that she would not be able to maintain her mysterious KAP identity.

She just ignored it and continued to talk about her paper with Andrew.

Knowing that he had caused trouble, Director Bull immediately fled the scene with chemical materials.

When it was almost nine o 'clock, Sophia went to the conference room for the meeting with Andrew. It was the first meeting of all members of the new energy project, which was very important for the whole project.

People had been waiting in the conference room, many of them were well-known in domestic chemistry, and they knew each other. Some were original members of the project. They came back to continue their research after hearing that the project would be restarted.

Sophia knew most of them and had been quite close to some of them in her last life. But with her present identification, she could not say hello to them.

But she had to say hello to one of them.

"Hello, Professor Normand," Sophia went up and said.

Professor Normand was surprised, "Sophia? What are you doing here? Are you here for the project?"

Sophia nodded," Yeah."

Professor Normand was stunned for a while and said, "Well, you young people are awesome!"

He knew Sophia's ability. Her presence here surprised him, but he felt it made sense after thinking about it.

Many people noticed Sophia, who looked like a high school student, at best the age of college. While as for the people here, in addition to some who had worked with Professor Green, others were at least of associate professor level. So everyone wondered why Andrew would take such a little girl.

Sophia knew their doubts but didn't explain anything. She just sat down on a seat.

Andrew walked up to the stage, cleared his throat, and said, "Thanks for being here, everyone. I'm very glad to have you on the new energy project. It's almost Christmas, so I'm very grateful for your precious time. This project was studied by the late Professor Green, whose talent I admire very much. It's a pity that she has not been able to complete it. To be able to continue the research for her, I'm very honored."

He was sincere, modest. In chemistry, he was ahead of Sophia, no matter in status or fame. Sophia felt it was her honor to have him take over the project.

With Andrew's status, he would not take over someone else's work if he had not been very interested in it.

Andrew introduced some of the details of the project and then started to introduce the members.

There were twenty-seven members of the team. In addition to the nine former members, the others were selected by Andrew after he sent invitations to some famous universities.

Andrew introduced Professor Normand first, "Professor Normand is from Glinton University, so as Sophia Green, who has the same name as Professor Green. And she was the youngest in our team. Before, in the invitation letter, it said that only one person would be elected from one university so as to give more chances to scholars in other universities. 

But, these two people's papers were so good that I don't want to give up either of them. So, here they are."

As soon as he said this, there was a lot of talk off the stage.

Professor Normand was an old professor, and many people knew him. He was hired, and no one disagreed. But as for Sophia… She was chosen on her own. That was weird.

She was so young but of the same value as Professor Normand that Andrew was willing to break his principles.

Someone recognized Sophia and whispered, "I've seen her on the Internet. She seems to be a cyber celebrity."

Hearing that, someone frowned, "Did Andrew choose her because of her fame on the Internet? Did she bribe him? Scientific research is not hype. What's the use of fame? I join the project because it can benefit the world. If you compare me to an online celebrity who lives on looks, I'd rather give the project up."

Sitting next to Sophia was a woman professor in her fifties. Sophia had worked with her in her last life and knew her name was Whitney.. Whitney was a professor at Lake University, and she specially came for the meeting from Plain.
