Liu Qian felt a little annoyed, but he could not argue. After all, Wei Yong had genuinely mentioned it earlier. He paused briefly before he responded. “The experiment report cannot be corrected overnight. The students can think about it when they get back.”
Qi Hui pursed his lips. “Whatever. I was just making a suggestion. I don’t want to lose this chance to partner with the institute just because the experiment report was lousy.”
“Even if we do not get to work with the institute, it is their loss and not ours,” said Liu Qian stiffly.
Qi Hui laughed softly before veering his eyes. He could not be bothered arguing with him.
He was just trying to be nice.
The lounge went quiet since no one continued talking
After 30 minutes, Wei Yong’s assistant came out of the laboratory. He said politely, “Mr. Wei is still busy working. Allow me to show you to the canteen so that you can eat.”
This was common in the testing phase. If things went smoothly, the results could be ready in a matter of minutes. Sometimes, when things didn’t go well, it might take a few hours.
Mr. Jin checked his watch and said, “Okay. we will go grab a bite first.”
The assistant nodded and gestured for them to follow him before he showed them the way.

Meanwhile, Wei Yong was busy doing testing on the computer.
They wanted to use third-generation robots to conduct deep-sea exploration. By combining AI and AL, they aimed to lower the difficulty of deep-sea exploration. Also, this would be a real breakthrough in the field of study.
This was the reason Wei Yong had worked hard on integrating an AL system.
Even though the testing was taking a long time, the data was above his expectation.
Others in the field had researched AL systems, including some renowned scientists. However, no one was able to make any breakthrough, but these undergrads from Tsing University had done the impossible.
Wei Yong felt excited inside. If the research got patented, it would be major news in the academic world.
Wei Yong finally finished testing at 1:00 pm.
“Even though the system is only at its first level, it scored 70% success rate in testing. After they are done working on it, I am sure it is going to be mind-blowing,” remarked a colleague.
“I suggest signing a contract to work with Tsing University,” said another colleague.
Wei Yong contemplated briefly before he nodded. “Since everyone feels the same way, I will discuss this with them.”
“Uh huh. Oh yes. Where is the experiment report? Can we take a look?” asked another colleague.
Wei Yong turned to look at the table nearby, but nothing was on it. He paused briefly before he said, “The students might have taken it with them. I will get it from them later.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he walked out of the laboratory.
Meanwhile, Huo Yao and the others had come back from the canteen after having lunch. Qi Hui and Mr Jin had encountered some familiar faces, so they did not return to the lounge with them and simply stood outside and chatted.
When Wei Yong went outside, he saw Qi Hui and Mr. Jin. He recalled that they were in charge of external university affairs, so he invited them to his office for a chat.
Wei Yong poured them water when they got to the office. He said, “The system looks good. I would like to sign a contract with the university.”
The moment Qi Hui heard what Wei Yong said, he tightened his grip on the glass. He had already seen this coming, but complicated emotions still ran through his heart.
