" Professor, did you receive an invite too? " A silver-haired old man, who looked like a scholar, smiled at his next dorm neighbour as he asked.
"Haha, I did, sir. It was from the Southern United Naval Design Bureau. Since you're asking me such a question, it looks like you've been invited too," he said curiously. "Which design bureau invited you, Professor? May I know?"
The old man who asked the question smiled. "It's the Berunda Design Bureau. I've got the invitation from Mr. Ghanaprabhu Berunda directly."
"Oh wow, it looks like the chairman of one of the four largest shipyards in the empire values you very much. But considering your achievements, it's not too surprising." Although he was a little envious, there wasn't much malice in his tone; instead, there was a sense of awe and respect.
This conversation, currently taking place in a dormitory at BIT Hoysala University, is not an isolated case.
