Chapter 368
Digby turned his head. “She is indeed young, but it’s also true that she has real talent. Without her bold hypothesis, I don’t know how many detours I would have taken.
“Professor Wilcourt, your student is talented. She is amazing and will surely achieve great things in the future!”
As he spoke, he made a welcoming gesture, even pushing aside David and the others, and then grandly led Josie’s group into the conference room.
Only after they disappeared did David and his group realize what had happened.
“How dare Digby?” Audrey’s face had long turned livid with anger. “This is so disrespectful! How dare he play us like this? David…”
David’s expression was complicated. “Say less. Let’s go in first and talk.”
The two project teams’ conference rooms were next to each other. If they talked in the corridor, people inside the conference room could hear them.
Audrey’s face fell. She awkwardly closed her mouth and, upon entering the conference room, immediately kicked over a chair.
She said, “That bastard Digby. He’s two-faced! Did he actually listen to that annoying Josie’s suggestion and change the experimental approach?”
She thought, ‘The problem is that it actually succeeded.
‘How is this possible?’
Audrey stared at David, her face full of confusion.
She asked, “Didn’t you say that girl’s ideas were all whimsical and impossible to succeed? Because of that, we weren’t in a hurry to start our experiment!”
Their research could have started five days ago, but it was delayed until yesterday.
They were only preparing to enter the lab for the first time today.
The delay until now was simply waiting for Digby to join them, but the result disappointed them.
Not only did Digby not come, but he also publicly helped the other side embarrass them. It was simply outrageous. Audrey was furious.
Audrey glared angrily at David, her voice filled with accusations.
David said, “Why are you shouting? There are no shortcuts in medical experiments.
“If you don’t conduct experiments diligently, even if you achieve temporary success through opportunistic means, the final research will not succeed.
“Are you suggesting that some inexperienced girl can surpass me? Is Josie really capable of outshining me?”
After roaring, David threw the documents onto the table.
He said, “Alright, everyone will be in soon. Your behavior is inappropriate. I think Digby is deliberately causing trouble.
“You should consider if you’ve offended him before.”
He thought, ‘Otherwise, why is Digby still unwilling to join me after I offered him such good terms? Anyone can see that I have a more promising future than Jeremy!’
Hearing this, Audrey’s arrogance subsided, and she no longer dared to vent her anger at David.
She thought, ‘Could it really be because of me that Digby refused to join us?
‘He’s truly a short-sighted person. Even if his past achievements weren’t entirely attributed to him, we still gave him the team achievement award.
‘Moreover, he has received a considerable amount of bonuses over the years.
‘As someone from a humble background, with his current status, achievements, and high salary, what more could he be dissatisfied with?
‘His greed knows no bounds. Isn’t he afraid of biting off more than he can chew?’
‘Wait for it. Once I get the chance, he’ll be my first target!’
Meanwhile, Digby invited Delilah and the others into the conference room. Before the door was even closed, they heard Audrey cursing.
Delilah glanced at Digby. “Digby, aren’t you worried?”
Digby smiled indifferently. “What do I have to worry about? Besides, our research is the top priority right now. I can’t spare much thought for other things!”
Delilah took her seat with a slight bow. “I heard, Digby, that after the success of your experiment, you discovered a new drug with a special formula.
“Can this drug be used before clinical surgeries for various diseases?”
