Wen Ruan was stupefied.
He had never anticipated that these people would dare to intimidate Peng Xiao so brazenly!
Who on earth had given them such courage?
In fact, the researcher was not foolish. She dared to be so assertive because the research project had already entered its second stage.
If they were to replace staff on a large scale at this point, the newcomers would need to go over the first-phase experiments and get accustomed to the new phase, resulting in significant delays.
Even if Academician Peng favored Chi Gui, it was impossible for him to compromise the progress of the research for her.
After all, Chi Gui had not even passed the D-level assessment, which spoke volumes about the situation.
Shi Liyun shrank into a corner, watching the unfolding scene with a silent, cold laugh.
This time, she wanted to see how Chi Gui could muddle through! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Peng Xiao looked at the aggressively approaching researcher, his eyes darkening a shade. He was just about to speak when the sound of a car came from the doorway.
Then, the researcher standing at the entrance suddenly exclaimed, "Mr. Orlando!"
Her words instantly shattered the taut, tense atmosphere in the research institute.
Everyone looked up in shock toward the doorway.
Peng Xiao also turned around, somewhat surprised.
Then he saw Orlando Nelson, accompanied by his assistant, walking in slowly.
He was dressed in M country’s classical aristocratic attire, leaning on a dark red cane. Almost in his seventies, he did not exhibit any signs of old age, and those pitch-black eyes were sharply penetrating.
Peng Xiao quickly walked forward to assist him on the other arm, "Mr. Orlando, what brings you here in person?"
The Orlando Family, like the Peng Family, was a century-old medical family, and the two had business entanglements; however, the Orlando Family had turned its focus to classical manuscripts, expending their fortune to collect scattered texts from various countries, while the Peng Family, along with four others, had established the Medical Alliance.
