The assistant followed behind Wei Yong and they quickly left the laboratory.

Wei Yong raised his head and looked at the lift door as they waited for the lift. He asked calmly. “Did you receive updates about the patent?”

The assistant looked at Wei Yong cautiously before he finally replied hesitantly. “Yeah. You can say so.”

Wei Yong narrowed his eyes the moment he saw the assistant’s reaction. “I suppose we didn’t get the preliminary approval then?”

“Not really” The assistant parted his lips and was about to get to his point, but the lift was here, so he stopped mid-sentence.

Wei Yong said nothing. When the lift door opened, he stepped into the lift and saw people standing inside.

“Hi, President Xue.” Wei Yong hurriedly nodded and greeted reverently when he saw the institute president inside the lift.

Someone with an imposing aura stood beside President Xue. Wei Yong glanced at the man in surprise before veering his eyes.

“Hi, Wei.” President Xue nodded before he raised his hand to press close. “Are you going upstairs or downstairs?”

Wei Yong told President Xue he was going upstairs before walking into the lift without standing in front of the young man. Instead, he did his best to keep to the lift wall.

Before long, the lift door closed behind them.

Wei Yong raised his hand and pressed for his office floor.

President Xue stopped talking to the young man. Instead, he turned to look at Wei Yong and said, “Well done with your recent project.”

Wei Yong did not expect President Xue to know about his recent work. Researchers at Wei Yong’s rank hardly interacted with the president directly. He hurriedly replied. “Thank you. It was a team effort.”

President Xue stood with his hands behind him and gave off a serious aura. He nodded and asked. “Your boss told me you’re already applying for a patent. How did it go? Did it get approved?”

Since Wei Yong had yet to receive any updates from his assistant, he glanced at the assistant and replied. “We just submitted the application and we’re waiting to hear back from the patent office.”

“I see,” acknowledged President Xue. The lift had gotten to President Xue’s floor, so he simply added. “Patents are very important. We need to protect the research.”

Wei Yong nodded promptly. “I understand.”

President Xue stopped talking to him. The president and the young man walked out of the lift one after another before the lift door closed.

After the president was gone, the assistant could finally relax. He asked quizzically. “Mr. Wei, who was that young man with President Xue? I don’t recall seeing him before. Is he one of our researchers?”

Wei Yong narrowed his eyes. After some time, he said, “He’s President Xue’s only disciple.”

The assistant was caught by surprise. He raised his head and looked at Wei Yong in shock. “Was that him? Didn’t President Xue’s disciple create the memory alloy driver?”

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Wei Yong as he nodded.

Wei Yong had the chance to see the man a few years ago. He had surprisingly encountered the man again today. He paused and added. “He comes from an influential background. If you ever encounter him, you should be nice and polite to him.”

The assistant acknowledged his boss promptly. Even if Wei Yong did not warn him about this, the assistant could tell that the young man was very powerful.

Before long, the lift stopped at Wei Yong’s office floor and the two of them walked out of the lift.

When they got to the office, Wei Yong took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack. “Tell me. What’s wrong?”
