Chapter 880: Just A Couple Of Small Experiments

Liu Qian was caught by surprise. “Then who do you want to help Jiang Mingyue, Mr. Qi?”

Dai Jie was one of the best students in Bioinformatics. He was already a senior and wanted to do postgraduate studies.

Qi Hui looked at Liu Qian and got straight to his point. “Why don’t you help the girl personally with the data analysis, Mr. Liu?”

Most of the student research team projects were completed solely by the students. At best, the teachers could offer some suggestions.

If a teacher was involved in helping the students with their work, what was the point of conducting research?

Liu Qian instantly looked annoyed. Since he was in an unpopular division, he always tolerated the snide remarks he received from everyone else and did his utmost to be nice. He was afraid that his students would suffer differential treatment from the teachers belonging to the other divisions.

He had offered to send his best student to help with data analysis, but he was not good enough for them. Instead, they wanted him to do it personally. It was as good as stepping all over him.

He was a teacher and not a member of the student research team!

Liu Qian looked at Qi Hui angrily and refused to help. “No way.”

Qi Hui frowned and suppressed his anger as he said, “I just need you to help her finish a couple of small experiments. It won’t take up much of your time.”

A couple of small experiments?

Liu Qian smiled mockingly. “Mr. Qi, since it is just a couple of small experiments, why isn’t the best student in my division good enough for you?”

Qi Hui looked a little annoyed. “I told you. The results are very important, so it is safer if you help.”

“If the students always rely on their teachers to do their work for them, then what is the point of studying?” asked Liu Qian.

Although he was usually nice, it did not mean he would take it lying down when people insulted him.

Qi Hui touched his forehead. “Don’t you think you are being unreasonable?”

Qi Hui simply wanted Liu Qian to do some data analysis. Was it that hard?

Considering the kind of teacher Liu Qian was, it was no wonder he always had to give in and was despised by everyone else all these years.

Liu Qian was furious, but he did not want to argue about it with Qi Hui, so he stood up and squeezed his hand to suppress his fury as he said, “Mr. Qi, if you wanted to see me only to ask for someone to help with data analysis, I have only one answer for you. I suggested Dai Jie. If you don’t like him, you can pick some other student. It’s up to you.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he turned to leave.

Since Liu Qian was stubborn and refused to help, Qi Hui stood up and said coldly, “Hang on.”

Liu Qian paused before he looked sideways at Qi Hui “Yes, Mr. Qi?”

Qi Hui walked up in front of the office desk and retrieved a piece of paper from the drawer. He walked over to Liu Qian and handed it to him. “This year’s government funding is out.”

Liu Qian frowned as he glanced at Qi Hui before taking the piece of paper and looking at it. One minute later, his grip on the paper tightened slightly as he said, “Mr. Qi, what is the meaning of this?”

The piece of paper contained the allocation of the government funding. All the six major divisions in Biology were accounted for except Bioinformatics.

Funding for his division was still pending, so it meant he might end up with no funding at all.

Moreover, Prof Liu had already recently taken the meager amount of funding he had left and had yet to return it. Now, was the funding for the second semester also going to be taken from him?

Liu Qian was so furious that even his hands trembled. He naturally knew what Qi Hui was implying by showing him the fund allocation.
