Chen Gong's words made Shou Weixiang feel like a complete idiot!
He had discovered that Chen Gong was truly a sly dog—he wasn't just bragging; he had genuinely joined the research group!
Yet, annoyingly...
This guy had actually hidden it for so long, and to think Shou Weixiang had pitied the bastard for a whole three seconds back then.
And now, looking at how Chen Gong was dining with Director Qi of the laboratory, and moreover, being actively treated by him.
Ren Hongli was also smiling and chatting with Chen Gong without a hint of arrogance.
Was this the kind of treatment an ordinary student could receive?
Before coming here, they hadn't failed to inquire about the laboratory's affairs.
The laboratory was far from the academic sanctum it sounded!
On the contrary, the hierarchy within the laboratory was even more direct.
Those master's and doctoral seniors were like supervisors in the workplace.
