CH 102

Because the meeting was held on short notice, there wasn’t even a simple presentation but a simple and brutal title: [Discussion on the paper “A Report on the New Concept of the Production of Body Potions”].

But even so, the meeting was not to be underestimated, as all the participants were senior members of the Institute. Even the Director and Vice-President of the Institute were present.

"Xiao Liu, please sit down. The meeting is about to start. " The president saw Liu Wei walk in and stare at the electronic screen in a daze, so he could not help but urge him.

Liu Wei reluctantly snapped out of shock, but his mind was even more confused. Why was the president also here?

And it wasn’t just the president; the vice president was here too!

He seldom had the chance to see these two people, but he was now more shocked than happy to finally see them, and he didn’t know how to react for a while.

When he didn’t move, the vice president spoke with a cold face: "Sit down quickly. Don’t delay the business! "  

“…yes." Although Liu Wei’s heart was in turmoil, he did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly walked to the corner with a white face and sat down slowly.

His mind was in a mess and his heart was even more panic. Wasn’t that paper very ridiculous at first glance and had no way to pass the review?

So why would the institute hold such a meeting that even the president and vice president came together?

A terrifying thought quickly surfaced in Liu Wei’s disorganized brain, a thought that scared him straight into a cold sweat, and his back quickly became wet with sweat.

Just as Liu Wei’s heart was growing restless and he kept raising his hands to wipe his sweat, the meeting officially began.

The president cleared his throat and was the first to speak, "Everyone should have read this paper titled ‘Report on the new concept making body potions', right?"

Several people in the meeting nodded their heads in sync. They had studied the paper carefully before that.

The president nodded and continued, "I believe that when you first read this paper, you had the same opinion as I did, so I won’t go into too much detail here. But no matter what our views on this paper are, one thing is clear; The contents mentioned in this paper are indeed effective. "

When Liu Wei, who was sweating in a  cold sweat, heard this conclusion, his eyes went black and his head went blank.

Effective?

The method in the paper that is said to enhance the effectiveness of the potion was actually true.

His trembling fingers subconsciously reached for the light brain on his wrist. He just wanted to rush up and delete the post that was still hanging on the virtual network.

But everyone, not to mention him, had no right to turn on the light brain in this light brain. Liu Wei was so anxious and regretful that several layers of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The Vice President picked up a document at this time and said in a serious voice: "I immediately arranged for the Institute to conduct relevant experiments after receiving this paper, and the experimental records are as follows: A total of 100 targeted experiments were completed this time, of which..."

Everyone’s expressions became extraordinarily serious when the Vice President announced the detailed results of the experiments. 

“Although 100 experiments are not enough to tell us anything for the time being, it is enough to draw our attention to this matter, "The Vice President put down the paper and concluded, "I personally suggest that a research group be set up directly for this paper, in order to obtain sufficient data support as fast as possible ."

The President nodded, "I agree."

A researcher suggested, "That is as it should be. If it is convenient, can the pharmacist who published this paper be invited to join our research team? "

The Vice President was silent for a moment and said, with an odd expression, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible."

"Why? According to the current situation, the one who knows the most about this new idea would be this pharmacist, right? " The researcher frowned, "If this pharmacist could join in, it would certainly help this research a lot."

The President coughed lightly and replied to the Vice President, "It’s not that we don’t want to invite him to join the research team, but circumstances don’t allow it."

The researcher, however, was even more confused, "What are the factors that prevented him from joining the research group? Can’t they be solved? "

The president's expression was a little more subtle when he said, "No." Under everyone’s curious gaze, he said slowly, "because he is still a newly enrolled student at college."

The expressions on almost everyone’s faces froze for a moment.

What?

The person who wrote this paper was not an experienced pharmacist, but a new college student!

Isn’t this deliberate teasing people!

Their eyes betrayed their hearts, and the president kindly replied, "It is indeed true."

His reaction had been similar to these people’s when he first learned about it earlier; they all looked quite silly.

But it really wasn’t their fault. The news was indeed shocking and unexpected.

Although the content of the paper was almost all laid out in a straightforward manner, the good thing was that it was clearly organized and had all the main points pointed out, making it very easy to understand.

In addition, the ideas presented in the paper were so new and unheard of that they assumed the author was a respected pharmacist by default.

But to their great surprise, it turned out that the author was a student who had just come of age.

However, in the realm of knowledge, age was not an absolute determinant of an individual’s strength. So, although this student could only be considered a child in their opinion, he deserved everyone’s respect and attention since he could come up with such a theory.

So everyone quickly calmed down after the shock and praised him one after another.

"To write such a profound paper at such a young age is really admirable!"

"So it’s true that the younger generation should be feared!"

"It’s not just a matter of the younger generation being fearsome. Let me just ask you, given another twenty years, could you come up with such an idea?"

"Hahahaha don’t mention it’s twenty years. Even if we give him another fifty years, there’s no way he can come up with this kind of operation as an old antique!"

"You’re talking about me? Aren’t you one as well? "

"This An Yan is really powerful, one has to admire him!"

……

After everyone had praised An Yan, the Vice President waved his hand and said, "Let’s not talk about anything else. Does anyone else have any objections regarding the establishment of the research group? "

Everyone shook their heads, and this proposal was passed unanimously.

The President nodded and announced, "In that case, from now on, the research group on the new concept of body potion making is established, and all of you here are members of the group."

One of the researchers immediately said, "I would love to join this research group, but I have my own research project in hand currently."

Another also said, "I wouldn’t mind doing both at the same time. I’m just afraid that it would delay the progress of this research."

All the people here were researchers of high standing in the institute, and they usually had little time to spare. An Yan’s paper had suddenly dropped in, and they didn’t even have time to prepare.

The president waved his hand very forthrightly, "The previous research projects will be handed over to others first. This project will be taken as the first priority."

Since the president had said so, the others naturally had no problem with it. They were about to roll up their sleeves and get to work after discussing it with great enthusiasm when there was a knock on the door of the conference room at that moment.

The president’s assistant came in, and his face didn’t look too good. It was obvious that something serious had happened since he came knocking at this time.

The assistant hurried to the president’s side and whispered in his ear.

Although the others could not hear what he was saying, they could see the President’s face turn ugly in vain: "Have you cleared the contents?"

The assistant looked embarrassed as he whispered, "After receiving the report, we verified the truth and deleted the post immediately. But related posts are now popping up all the time, and we can only monitor them. "

The president closed his eyes and sighed, "Since the matter has already been raised, don’t rush to delete it or it will easily cause a backlash. The most important thing now is to investigate the matter. "

The president asked one more question, "By the way, who was the informant?"

The Institute would normally not pay much attention to the situation on the virtual internet. So they might not have been able to find out about the problem so quickly if someone had not reported it in time.

The assistant was embarrassed again, "The other party reported it anonymously. Do we need to investigate this? "

The president waved his hand and said, "No need for now. Let’s get to the bottom of it first."

The assistant nodded: "The investigation is already underway and the results will be out soon."

The president nodded, "Okay, you can go out first."

The assistant left, and the president scanned the hall and spoke in a deep voice, "It seems that we do have to disturb An Yan now."

Someone was puzzled and asked, "What is it? Has something happened? "

The president nodded, "Just before this meeting was held, a post appeared on the virtual internet. It mentioned the new idea proposed in this paper, and this matter has now attracted the attention of many users."

"How could such a thing happen?!" The Vice President was the first to get angry, "Was this paper leaked out from the Institute? Or from somewhere else?"

Although the Institute of Body Potions was the largest and most regulated research institute in the entire interstellar world, in addition to that, there were many related research institutions on all the major planets. So it was normal for many people to submit their papers to multiple research institutions at the same time.

But no matter how many research institutions one has submitted to, it is a very serious matter for the content of the paper to be leaked out.

The president shook his head, "This matter has not been determined yet, but it is under investigation."

A researcher said angrily, "Although the new idea described in the paper in question is still being researched, it would not be too much to say that it has the potential to change the entire pharmaceutical industry, or even the state of all humanity. So, this matter must be investigated and seriously dealt with as soon as possible! "

A loud "bang" was heard from the corner as soon as the man’s words left his mouth. Everyone turned around and found that it was the record keeper who had fallen off his chair.
