Prof Liu went quiet for a few seconds before he replied. "Since the authorization agreement gives Liu Qian's students the right to discuss their research at the academic level, let's just sign it. This is no big deal."
In reality, Prof Liu knew what Wei Yong was trying to do. He simply did not want to offend the institute for the sake of an authorization agreement. If he did the institute the favor now, he could get into their good books in the future.
Qi Hui smiled when Prof Liu gave his approval. He acknowledged reverently before hanging up the phone.
Before long, he quickly went back to the private room.
"How did it go?" asked Wei Yong unhurriedly as he watched Qi Hui take a seat.
Qi Hui smiled and retrieved the official department stamp from his briefcase. "Prof Liu gave me the green light to sign this. Let me get right to it then."
The assistant glanced at Wei Yong knowingly. Sure enough, his boss was right.
