Liu Qian wanted to laugh the moment he heard what Qi Hui said. "Mr. Qi, I really don't get it. The students have done the department proud, both at the university level and at the academic level. Why did you try to give it away to the institute?"
The National Research Institute of Science worked for the government, but Tsing University was the top university in the country. This meant they were linked to the government as well.
Qi Hui argued they were not in a position to go against a government body. Since both establishments belonged to the government, this argument did not hold water at all.
Any problems Qi Hui faced only existed at a personal level.
Qi Hui leaned against the table looking at Liu Qian. He no longer seemed as powerful. It looked as though the roles had reversed and Liu Qian had the upper hand.
Qi Hui remained quiet for some time.
The silence in the office was finally broken by a phone call.
