Du Heng's sudden greeting didn't seem to particularly catch the old man's attention. He seemed accustomed to such abrupt greetings. He casually turned his head, glanced at Du Heng, then nodded lightly and was about to leave.
Academician Sun Jiaxiang, it appeared, didn't recognize Du Heng.
Ordinarily, given Du Heng's somewhat reserved nature, he certainly wouldn't have initiated further conversation. But today, his main goal was to visit Director Su Nan. Since Academician Sun Jiaxiang had just emerged from inside, and Su Yuan had proactively questioned Director Xue, it was clear that Academician Sun had likely been invited for a consultation.
Well... a little audacity might just get me what I want.
Du Heng immediately spoke up again, "Hello, Academician Sun. I'm Du Heng from the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I didn't expect to run into you here, sir."
"Oh, hello," Academician Sun replied coolly, not considering Du Heng to be anyone of particular importance.
