Chapter 52 What era is this?!

Under the watchful and skeptical gazes of a group of industry leaders, newspaper media, and related industry practitioners, Qiao Bai finally concluded this academic press conference.

The moment Qiao Bai stepped down from the high podium, he didn't show it on his face, but he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Don't say it.

It's impossible not to feel nervous when being watched by so many people at the same time.

It's just a matter of putting on a brave face.

"Haha, well said." Huang Zhou laughed and walked to Qiao Bai's side, patting Qiao Bai on the shoulder.

The small group of people who wanted to gather around Qiao Bai exchanged glances and then retreated.

But there are always a few guys who rely on their status and think they're tough enough to challenge Qiao Bai head-on in this kind of situation.

Before Qiao Bai could even return to Huangzhou, a disdainful snort came from the side.

"snort!"

"What goodwill rating? To be honest, it's all just sensationalism! Whether it's even useful is another matter. Chairman Huang, you rushed into assembling this academic conference team; it was far too reckless!"

I turned my head to look.

Qiao Bai saw a middle-aged man in a gray suit, with a receding hairline and a gloomy face, staring at him with a sinister gaze.

His words clearly showed his disdain for Qiao Bai and his denial of what Qiao Bai had discovered.

Huang Zhou's smiling face instantly fell: "Professor Liu, Qiao Bai already explained his findings in detail at the press conference, and the evolution of the Fire Fox Queen is also evident."

"You can be dismissive, but you shouldn't slander. As a researcher, you should understand this basic principle, right?"

Professor Liu and Liu Jun's expressions instantly turned even more unpleasant.

He hadn't expected that Huangzhou would show him no respect in such a crowded environment.

"...I'm just stating the facts. Besides, I was just trying to be helpful to Chairman Huang, so you won't be fooled." Liu Jun's body stiffened, but he refused to back down. "Doing research requires hard work and a down-to-earth approach, not just getting lucky and then finding a high-sounding excuse to figure out how to cheat people out of more resources."

Qi Yue, who had just arrived nearby, rolled her eyes upon hearing these words. She then whispered to Lin Weiwei beside her in a voice that, while seemingly quiet, was loud enough for everyone nearby to hear:

"No way, no way? Surely no one would actually use their seniority to bully younger people in a situation like this?"

"Does he really think others can't understand what he's trying to say? Does he think we're all idiots?"

Qi, the Great Onmyoji, is now available!

"Pfft—"

Laughter erupted from all directions.

It's impossible to determine who laughed out loud.

More likely, everyone was having a great time.

Liu Jun's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water, and his pair of triangular, fierce eyes suddenly glared in the direction of Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei.

Before Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei could be frightened, Qiao Bai stepped in front of them to protect them.

"Professor Liu, if you have any questions about the concepts I raised, we can sit down and discuss them properly. I can answer any questions you have." Qiao Bai looked directly into Liu Jun's eyes, speaking gently with a smile.

"Given your status, you're not the kind of person who would be unreasonable and start questioning others without any evidence, right?"

Qiao Bai immediately bestowed the title of "cultured person" upon Liu Jun.

What can Liu Jun say?

Isn't he a cultured person?

He's just here to cause trouble, deliberately make things difficult for Qiao Bai, and suppress Qiao Bai.

However, he still has a sense of shame.

With Qi Yue, the great Yin-Yang Master, leading the way, and Qiao Bai, with his flattering words following behind, the two of them left Liu Jun's emotions and thoughts stuck halfway, neither here nor there.

Just like Liu Jun's current situation.

Continuing to cause trouble for Qiao Bai is shameful.

Leaving like that, looking so pathetic, was embarrassing.

Liu Jun was caught in a dilemma.

Fortunately, his companion called out to him, which barely helped him out of the predicament. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Jun left without uttering any harsh words.

Qiao Bai was speechless.

So what's this person's motive for coming up to him and picking a fight?

Is the image being proven wrong?

Qi Yue also snorted angrily, then pulled Lin Weiwei around and wandered around again. She just happened to be there and helped Qiao Bai out of the predicament.

It wasn't because I saw someone in the distance looking like they were causing trouble for Qiao Bai that I came to help!

Lin Weiwei was pulled away by Qi Yue's strength, and before leaving, she waved to Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai smiled and waved to her.

Seeing this, Huang Zhou laughed again, and his mood, which had been ruined by Liu Jun, quickly recovered.

"You didn't understand his intention in coming here, did you?" Huang Zhou said with a smile.

Qiao Bai nodded.

Liu Jun's actions and words did not actually have any impact on Qiao Bai.

Just like what Qi Yue said.

What era are we living in?

Given that Qiao Bai has presented the tangible result of the Fire Fox Queen, are you trying to incite everyone to question and suppress Qiao Bai?

Everyone's smart enough to be stupid!

Geniuses in a professional field are rare, and the birth of a genius will inevitably lead to a certain degree of internal resource allocation. However, it doesn't mean that all the resources are given to Qiao Bai at once. The rules and regulations are there, and the level of resources one can use depends entirely on one's ability.

Moreover.

The birth of Qiao Bai, this genius, was not without its benefits for them.

Take, for example, the concept of "favorability".

Let's set aside their true thoughts for now.

With the success of the Fiery Fox Queen, they could easily launch a new project to collaborate on the research of extraordinary creatures and apply for more resources from higher authorities.

Suppression?

Something that doesn't exist.

They're not stupid; they have brains. They won't rush to be the ones to slap someone in the face or be slapped in the face.

As for the concept of "favorability," with Firefox Queen as proof, there will be more opportunities to use and try it in the future.

True gold is not afraid of fire.

They can wait a while before making a more specific evaluation of Qiao Bai.

After hearing all this, Qiao Bai was even more confused: "So why did he step forward?"

"He doesn't seem like a proper professor of pet evolution; he seems more like a clown."

Huang Zhou gave Qiao Bai an approving look.

Not like.

Yes, he's just a clown jumping around.

"You could interpret this as... the disdain of those with a professional background for those without."

Qiao Bai: "?"

real or fake?

What era are we living in?

"He's getting old, can't produce any new results, and is just an old fogey... There are always some self-important people in this circle, so just bear with it." Huang Zhou nodded and gave Qiao Bai a pitying look.

Qiao Bai: Speechless.jpg

The city is full of tricks.

He wants to go back to the countryside.

Instead of having a pointless conversation with such a boring person, I'd rather go home and check if Xiao Wu has woken up!
