The next day.
Qi Hui went to meet Wei Yong at the same place they had last met.
"… As for the patent, I only found out from Teacher Liu that he had already submitted the application."
Qi Hui smiled bitterly as he explained.
Wei Yong tapped his fingers on the table. He was not as annoyed as Qi Hui had imagined, which made him heave a sigh of relief.
"You don't have to blame yourself. It's understandable," said Wei Yong calmly.
Qi Hui smiled awkwardly and did not reply.
"But... doing something like this without any prior notice will affect our relationship," said Wei Yong softly as he looked at Qi Hui.
Qi Hui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Even though it wasn't a problem on their side, he still lowered his stance and nodded to Wei Yong. "Yes, Wei Gong is right. This matter has indeed hurt our relationship."
Wei Yong's lips twitched. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Dean Xue is very concerned about the patent."
Qi Hui was stunned. He knew Dean Xue.
He was a first-class researcher who had made countless contributions to the country. He did not expect Dean Xue to pay attention to this.
Qi Hui felt a headache coming on. He could not help cursing Liu Gan in his heart. If he had said it earlier, they would not have been in such a difficult situation.
Qi Hui took a deep breath and apologized again. "Given the current situation, I can't..."
Before he could say the word "powerless", he was interrupted by Wei Yong's assistant standing next to him.
"Oh yes, I remember the patent has not been issued. Can we cancel the application?"
Wei Yong's assistant asked Qi Hui with uncertainty.
Qi Hui looked at his assistant. He had thought about this before, but it was impossible for Liu Gan to cancel the application based on his attitude that day.
Not only was it impossible, but Liu Gan might even ask Zhao Lian for help and make the situation worse.
If Liu Gan blew the matter up and made it to Tsing University's office, his position as the dean of the faculty would come to an end.
Qi Hui pinched his forehead and said, "I'm afraid we can't cancel the application. The school has already reported it."
Wei Yong glanced at Qi Hui as though he had expected this. He put down his teacup and said calmly, "It's not impossible to cancel the application."
When Qi Hui heard this, he suddenly raised his head.
Wei Yong pursed her lips and said slowly, "I've already contacted the person in charge of DO."
Qi Hui understood Wei Yong's meaning the moment he heard this …

Qi Hui and Wei Yong did not chat for too long. Soon, the two of them left the teahouse.
The weather outside was a little dark. Qi Hui was driving back to school when it started raining.
However, he didn't turn around and go home. Instead, he went to school.
At this time, in the office, Liu Gan was still organizing the documents. School would start in a few days, and he had been very busy recently.
Just as he put the stack of documents back into the cabinet, he heard a knock on the door.
Liu Gan raised his head and saw Director Qi standing at the door. He was stunned for a second, but he quickly regained his senses.
"Director Qi," Liu Gan greeted him indifferently.
Qi Hui didn't seem to notice Liu Gan's attitude. He walked in and glanced at the bookcase on the side. Then he casually looked away. "I have something to discuss with you."
