"Um, Director Du, if I go to explain it myself, wouldn't that seem insincere due to my inadequate status? Maybe it would be better if you made the call?"
"What are you thinking, Lv Bei? If you explain and things go south, Professor Qiao gets mad and at worst he transfers your group out. We can then internally swap in another team to implement a new plan. If I go to explain and they take offense, how are we supposed to smooth things over? Hand over this great opportunity to another department as a gift?"
Director Du had a point, and Lv Bei cursed under his breath with no other choice at hand.
However, what he didn't expect was what the other party said next.
"Right, when you go to explain, try and have a chat with Professor Qiao. See if you can get him to produce a test version of the model first. We'll take responsibility for promoting it to several major national material research centers for trial usage. The feedback could help Professor Qiao recalibrate his model."
