Although they could not treat these people as if they were gods, they could not offend them either.

Luca was worried that Abel would make a move in the later stages.

His pharmaceutical company was quite well-known in A City. Plus, Watson's welfare package was not the best, so if he made a proposal to these professors, he might be able to win them over.

The research results may also be taken away or even abandoned. If that

happened, the research funds that were invested at the beginning would all be for nothing.

Luca would not sit back and give Abel such an opportunity. The general manager dared not express his suspicion of these professors again because of her relationship with Luke.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour.

As Dr. Linwood had said, the general manager put all his hopes for the company's performance on her research group.

All she could do was bite the bullet and agree to it.

After the meeting ended, Luca did not stay back to chit-chat with the other professors and left with the excuse that she still had experiments to do.

Dr. Linwood watched as Luca left and said to Dr. Jackson, "With Dr. Craw taking the lead, it takes the pressure off our research."

Dr. Jackson nodded in agreement.

The general manager listened to their conversation, and his face turned gloomy. He had originally planned to drive a wedge between the professors and Luke, but he did not expect that Luca would rebut his words.

With Luca and Luke's relationship in the way, he dared not say too much.

The intentional provocation this time was considered a failure.

The general manager left the conference room with a dark expression.

Dr, Linwood watched as the general manager left before discussing with Dr. Jackson, “Jackson, did you get the feeling that everything the general manager said before the meeting was intentional?"

"Yes, it did seem that way. It was as if he was setting Mr. Crawford up, giving us the impression that he's..." Dr. Jackson was already 50 years old and knew the ways of the world, so he could see through whatever the general manager was trying to do.
