Chapter 1246


    "We should work more on our publicity and show everyone the wonders of medicinal herbs, then..."


    "Austin," Professor Thompson held Austin''s wrist, interjecting, "I Know you''re knowledgeable in this


    field, have done your research on these things, and learned much from a renowned teacher.


    "Mr. Dominic is a respected figure regarding medicinal herbs, but some still don’t respect him. Listen to


    me. It''s not easy to make the public ept medicinal herbs by working on its publicity, but what we''re


    doing now can achieve that!"


    "You''re not publicizing it for their eptance! You guys are just merely meeting the market’s demands


    for the sake of your benefits!" Austin was angry.


    "Austin!" Professor Thompson frowned, and his voice became sterner, is this how you talk to your


    superior? Don’t forget you''re only a part of this team because I suggested your name to them! If you’re


    unwilling to cooperate, you can leave the team anytime!"


    "Professor Thompson, I just think our project isn''t moving in the right direction."


    Austin was reluctant to leave the team as he had joined them long ago. He was frustrated about one


    thing the most.


    ‘How could Professor Thompson listen to a woman''s words over mine? Why doesn’t he take my


    suggestions into ount seriously at all?’


    Since joining the institute, he had not met Lily until the seminar.


    ‘She''s just an ordinary woman who knows little about medicinal heros and someone who depends on


    her husband to make a name for herself in the perfumery industry. How could her words be more


    reliable than mine when I''ve learned everything from a reputable teacher? Are all of them idiots?’


    ‘That''s enough. We finalized the direction and ns of this project a few months back, and there''s no


    need for you to raise your objections at this time. I would love it if you could provide any constructive


    things."

    Thompson raised his hand, stopping Austin from retorting. After all, Thompson had no intentions of


    changing his mind.


    Austin was helpless and was about to leave when he heard Thompson call out, "Wait, Austin, I told you


    to discuss something with Lily yesterday. How did it go?"


    "She wants to quit the team," Austin said, his lips pursed.


    "I know that, and I wanted you to persuade her to stay. You..." Professor Thompson paused and


    pushed his sses up the bridge of his nose. "Did you do that?"


    Upon remembering Austin''s words earlier, Thompson suddenly regretted asking Austin to be the


    mediator, thinking that the young man might make the situation worse than it already was.


    "I did!" Austin was irritated.


    ‘She''s just a woman who knows nothing and doesn''t deserve my time! Yet she was so arrogant and


    sshed juice all over my face!"


    ‘What did she say about that?"


    "She..." While Austin was thinking of how he should exin the incident, he saw Thompson’s eyes light


    up as his lips stretched into a bright smile.


    Then Thompson walked past Austin toward a particr direction. "Lily, you''re back!"
