2298 I Meet All of the Dean’s Requirements Gu Hengbo looked away. He did not dare to look him in the eye, but he still did not give in. He said righteously, “It’s not just me. I believe everyone present wants to hear why you don’t allow Ji Ziyin to participate.” Zhou Zhou was the first to mock him coldly. “Team Leader Gu, no one will stop you if you want to protect your ‘own people’. Don’t drag us into this. We didn’t say a word! From the beginning to the end, you were the one who said that we were different from you. At least we remember that we’re from the research institute.” “Team Leader Zhou, forget it. Stop talking.” The person in charge of the Level 2 laboratory beside Zhou Zhou saw Gu Hengbo’s expression darken in an instant. He hurriedly grabbed Zhou Zhou’s arm and persuaded her softly. Zhou Zhou clicked her tongue and flicked the wavy hair beside her ear, revealing her fair side profile. She was bright and moving. She ignored Gu Hengbo’s knife-like gaze and chuckled. “I’m telling the truth. Those who know would know that Team Leader Gu is from the First Research Institute. Those who don’t know might think that Team Leader Gu is from the Ji family.” “I’m not defending anyone. I’m just doing things according to the rules!” Gu Hengbo’s face turned red from her mockery. Zhou Zhou tidied her collar disapprovingly. “Oh.” A meaningful “oh” further angered Gu Hengbo! This Zhou Zhou was as difficult to deal with as Qiao Nian! No wonder the two of them were friends! At this moment, Ji Ziyin stood up and said, “Dean, I signed up according to your conditions. Don’t tell me I don’t meet the conditions after publishing a SCI paper? I want to know why I can’t participate in the successor selection. Could it be that it’s really because you have a good relationship with Qiao Nian in private and I offended her previously? You’re unwilling to let me participate in the selection because of her?” She was a smart person. With such a clear statement, she directly directed the blame to Qiao Nian, who was not present. Instead, it confirmed Feng Yu’s ‘pettiness’. He even used his position to take revenge on her and deliberately attacked a junior. Feng Yu was initially not angry with her, but Ji Ziyin mentioned Qiao Nian and even pushed the blame on her. He was so angry that he laughed. Instead, he quickly calmed down and looked at Ji Ziyin’s beautiful face, then asked her directly, “You said that you published a paper at the SCI. Let me ask you, did you do it yourself?” If Ji Ziyin did not have such a mentality, she would not have come to this point today. She did not even bat an eyelid. “Of course, it’s my own results. If I did not publish my own results, someone would have sued me long ago.” Ji Qing had long passed away. Of course, a deceased person would not expose her. Ji Ziyin must know this very well, which was why she was so unscrupulous in taking things for herself. She was certain that the deceased could not speak. Feng Yu took a deep breath, and his temples bulged. “Your own results? You haven’t published any results in the research institute for seven years, but in a month after leaving the research institute, you published three major results in a row. Do you think this matter is normal?” Ji Ziyin did not meet his gaze as she remained calm. “About this, I don’t think the dean should ask me. He should ask… the research institute.” What she meant was that the First Research Institute had hindered her!
