Manstein stood up and walked to the podium. He stood at the place where countless scientific giants had stood before, looking at the over two hundred faces in the audience. At that moment, he suddenly understood why Yang Ping didn't come.
It wasn't because Professor Yang was busy, but because he really didn't like such lively scenes and felt it was a waste of time.
"Good afternoon, everyone," Manstein began, his voice steady, with a hint of German-accented English echoing in the hall, "I am Manstein, and today, I am here to present this report on behalf of Professor Yang Ping. He's not here, not because he doesn't value this, but because he is indeed not fond of lively occasions."
Someone in the audience laughed, not a polite laugh, but a genuine, amused laugh.
Manstein clicked the slide remote, and the first page of the PPT appeared on the screen, with only one line:
"Spinal Cord Injury Repair: From Impossible to Possible!"
He clicked the slide remote again.
