The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 760: 300 New Talents Sharp Edge!_4

However, Song Min does know Bai Shaoqi, and since he was a successful entrepreneur, the Physics Department had previously secured his sponsorship; they let both of them in without obstruction.

Basically, all the professors from the Physics Department who were on campus had arrived.

Dean Huang was sitting in the first row with his notebook in hand.

Beside him, familiar people were inquiring Dean Huang about Zhou Wenqing’s situation, but Dean Huang didn’t speak right away.

When Bai Lian and Ning Xiao arrived, the front row seats were already filled with various professors and mentors, and behind them were students brought by other teachers.

Hen Shuyan and Su Yuanzhen were among them.

These two had been ordered by Sun Fu to return home, and this past month hadn’t been easy for them, especially since their delay in graduation was a certainty.

Now hearing about Zhou Wenqing’s incident with Bai Lian, it made things a little more bearable for Hen Shuyan and the others, who, upon spotting Tang Ming, shot a scornful glance in their direction.

With Zhou Wenqing’s lab gone, it was true no one would take in Bai Lian and the others; their fate wouldn’t be much different.

Eight o’clock.

Zhou Wenqing still hadn’t arrived.

Director Lin looked calmly at Dean Huang, “Dean, are you sure Professor Zhou will come today?”

Dean Huang unscrewed the lid of his thermos, took a sip of water, and replied composedly, “Don’t worry, Professor Zhou is still organizing the documents.”

With Dean Huang’s assurance, most people continued to wait.

Dr. Zuo and Sun Fu were sitting right behind Dean Huang, feeling relieved as they listened to Director Lin and Dean Huang’s conversation—

Good thing they had not kept any freshmen in their labs.

Because of the Zhou Wenqing incident, both realized someone was targeting this group of newcomers, and Zhou Wenqing was merely caught up in it.

Eight o’five.

Director Lin stood up, “Dean Huang, I don’t think Professor Zhou has produced any results, so he didn’t come today. I think there’s no need for a meeting to discuss this; let’s just retract the project.”

As he spoke, the students exchanged glances with each other in confusion.

Bai Shaoqi withdrew her gaze from Bai Lian and looked at Song Min, “Let’s go.”

The professors, on the other hand, showed no surprise, for the outcome was inevitable, and they began to stand up, ready to leave.

It was at this moment that the front door of the lecture hall was pushed open, and three figures entered.

Zhou Wenqing had been working hard for several days. He was wearing glasses, casually dressed in a military coat, and had disheveled hair.

Still quite composed, he approached the podium, placed his documents down, “Sorry for being late, I was guiding them in uploading data to Nature.”

By his side, Hu Yue bent down, plugged in the USB drive, and started the computer.

In the second row, Zuo Jinhua and Sun Fu, who had just stood up to leave, stopped abruptly at Zhou Wenqing’s words and turned their heads towards the podium.

Nature?

Was their team planning to submit to Nature?

Zhou Wenqing personally guiding… Did that mean they were aiming for the main journal?

Zuo Jinhua couldn’t believe it; his lab hadn’t produced any significant research in the past two years, and his advisor was still Dean Huang.

Zhou Wenqing was just an ordinary person with no prestigious academic backing.

In the sudden silence, Zhou Wenqing passed a red laser pointer to Hu Yue, addressing the professors and students in the lecture hall, “Thank you all for coming, I am Zhou Wenqing. Now, my student Hu Yue will present to you our lab’s research findings on superconductivity—”

“Palladium hydride and the Meissner effect.”

Hu Yue clicked the laser pointer to open the PowerPoint, revealing the first page filled with complex English text, along with a long list of author names—

Xin Liu, Yue Hu…

Lian Bai, Xiao Ning, Wuyu Liang…

A clearly standard academic paper format, with the first author in the first row followed by the second author.

Clearly, in this Nature paper, these newcomers had played a significant role.

Everyone present was aware of the significance of Nature.

Inside the lecture hall, there was a burst of astonishment.
