It's good to have presence, but presence actually cannot solve any problems.
For example, Li Zheng's group, blocking the entrance of the laboratory, had presence but still couldn't get inside.
Although it was already seven o'clock, the group inside was still leisurely wrapping up their operations at the computer console.
Because it was a relatively secluded environment, cut off from the world, even their conversations could be partially heard by those outside.
"Hurry up, you guys. The next group is waiting."
"Huh? There are still people coming at this hour?"
"Dean Zhou arranged it."
"...That's so odd, did Zhou Yi get some private work?"
"You can't talk nonsense like that."
"I think I heard Teacher Deng saying that Yingpei had this incredible freshman who found Dean Zhou and wanted to do structural analysis, so Dean Zhou just went ahead and approved it without reasoning."
"A freshman?"
"A freshman."
"With the resources given, they must be related to Dean Zhou, right?"
