"So, young man, let's get the ugly talk out of the way first. I will definitely look at your manuscript seriously, but if I point out any inaccuracies, anything illogical, or even... flights of fancy later, don't try to argue; I've been researching in this field for many years now, and though I wouldn't dare call myself an absolute authority, if I see something that is wrong, then it must be wrong, and I hope you understand that."
...
Lin Xian just nodded and smiled, without saying a word.
It was apparent.
Dean Gao Yan didn't believe in his own level, he had not yet started looking at the manuscript, but he was already certain that there were problems with it.
That's why "precautionary words" were said up front.
The message he wanted to convey was simple.
Since you were referred by Chu Shanhe, I will definitely read the manuscript seriously.
But if I point out where there are mistakes, don't argue or debate here, just accept it honestly and give up on the project.
