<h4>Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Someone Steps In</h4><h4></h4>


    "Exactly! Professor Nangong! Instead of developing quietly in their own Japan, why are theying to our research institute?"


    Upon hearing Nangong’s words, Luo Di’s face was filled with indignation, and he said to Nangong with a sense of grievance, "Since they are also working on this, what’s the need for them toe messing around?"


    Although Luo Di had not been at their research institute for long, he had grown to love the atmosphere there, and through his interactions, he hade to deeply understand just how much effort Nangong’s research team had put into this project!


    The American research group, although leaving Luo Di brimming with resentment, had after all already been working on the project, and through Nangong, Luo Di had learned that their project was currently far ahead of the American team.


    Therefore, Luo Di could put aside his worries; however, the sudden entry of a Japanese team, who also wanted to research the same project, made it hard for him to let go. After all, deep down, Luo Di was full of objections.


    "You all know very well the derivative value of our project."


    When Nangong heard Luo Di’s words, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and said, "If it really does get developed, then our achievement will be just like Viagra, even hotter than Viagra. Don’t you think that something that could cause a stir around the whole world is something everyone would want a piece of?"


    Xiao Yifei squinted at Nangong, his thoughts unreadable, and he felt that Nangong certainly hadn’t said everything. If the Japanese research team was just here for simplemunication and learning, Nangong wouldn’t be acting this way.


    And sure enough, what Nangong said next confirmed Xiao Yifei’s suspicion and also drastically changed the atmosphere in theboratory.


    "But this time, the Japanese delegation has other motives."


    Nangong narrowed his eyes and continued in a solemn voice, "They want to coborate with us on researching this project."


    Although Nangong made it sound appealing, the reality was that everyone in theb wasn’t na?ve—they could instantly discern the true implication behind Nangong’s words, which was to say, the Japanese delegation nned to contribute nothing but wished to insert themselves into a project they had been working on for a long time!


    "Professor Nangong! Why should they? What right do they have to say such things!"


    Just after Nangong finished speaking, the wholeb erupted in an uproar, none of the professors were fools; they could all hear the implication in the words of the Japanese delegation.


    These words made the professors in the researchb even more impassioned!


    "Right, Professor Nangong, I still don’t understand, what gives them the audacity to make such a im? And isn’t it Japan’s favorite thing to do, to prostrate and tter America? Howe this time, they even have the gall to want to join our project and go against America?"


    Xu Dong said to Nangong with an arched neck and impassioned demeanor.


    "Professor Nangong! You can’t agree to this! If you really do, wouldn’t all our past efforts be in vain? Everything we have done before would be for nothing! You should know, ever since Professor Xiao joined us, we have made significant progress in our research. If we were to agree to the Japanese delegation now, they could truly im half of all our efforts!"


    Luo Di, after hearing the rest of Nangong’s words, trembled with anger and raised his voice to Nangong.


    Luo Di’s words incited responses from the other professors in theb, who also one after another expressed their opinions to Nangong.


    After all, the urrence of this matter is something that ordinary people truly cannot ept. No matter which way you look at it, something you’ve worked so hard for, strived for so long, then suddenly someone shows up, doesn’t contribute a bit, and yet they want to split all the credit in half with them. Under such circumstances, no one can bear it!


    Moreover, Japan has always had deep-seated resentment towards Huaxia!


    Xiao Yifei squinted slightly, looking at Nangong with an unreadable expression. Although he felt a surge of anger upon hearing Nangong’s words, Xiao Yifei was much calmer than the professors in the researchb currently abuzz with intense emotions. He knew that given Nangong’s character and intelligence, he wouldn’t easily agree to these terms.


    Generally speaking, if such a situation were to ur, Nangong would probably reject it outright on the spot. And yet this time, Nangong actually convened the entire research team, informing them of the matter. Within all of this, Xiao Yifei sensed something unusual.


    "Professor Nangong, if you have something to say, say it all at once. Don’t keep speaking in halves; it’s really hard for us to handle."


    Xiao Yifeiid his head on the desk, looking at Nangong, whose face showed a faint smile.


    Hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, theboratory suddenly fell quiet. Through Xiao Yifei’s remark, they also abruptly came to their senses and, after pondering for a moment, the professors in theb likewise noticed the inappropriate parts.


    Seeing the situation in theb, Nangong couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.


    He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yifei with resignation. While unsure about other matters, Nangong was filled with admiration for Xiao Yifei’s sharpness.


    Indeed, when Nangong first received the notification, he too was filled with dissatisfaction. However, this decision wasn’t something Nangong could make on his own. It was amand from the authorities above, and in the end, Nangong could only ept it obediently.


    Otherwise, the consequence of beingbeled as impacting foreign rtions was something Nangong simply could not ept.


    Nangong shook his head because,pared to these troublesome matters, what followed was even more depressing and filled his heart with gloom!


    However, he couldn’t avoid informing the members of his research team of these affairs. In Nangong’s view, it was essential that all the members of the scientific research team be aware of all the developments. Although he knew there would be significant objections from the team members after being informed, Nangong still hoped they would understand.


    A look of helplessness shed through Nangong’s eyes, and he continued with a bit of a bitter smile, "Moreover, this time, after the Japanese delegates arrived at our research group, their attitude was extremely arrogant. They said they hade to help guide us inpleting the project."


    And upon hearing Nangong’s statement, the researchb that had just calmed down, suddenly erupted into chaos!


    "What the hell is this nonsense! They really think they’re the big shots! Know that even America’s progress on this project isn’t as fast as ours, yet they want to ’guide’ us! What right do they have! Who do they think they are!"


    The fact that a group of learned professors were driven to swear goes to show how angered they were by Nangong’s words.


    Even Xiao Yifei, after hearing this, couldn’t help but straighten up, his eyes shing with a cold light.


    Seeing this reaction, Nangong’s bitter smile grew. He had anticipated this reaction even before he spoke, but to avoid greater conflicts during the meet with the Japanese delegation, he had no choice but to discuss these matters in advance.


    "Alright, alright, don’t overreact," he said.
