Wei Wu exhausted his entire academic vocabulary.
He did his best to clearly and concisely express his intent to collaborate and the core value of his proposed research.
However, the moment he finished speaking,
Before Wang Shouzhuo could even react, several of the surrounding scholars had already begun to chuckle.
The laughter wasn't malicious mockery, but more akin to the dumbfounded chuckle of an adult hearing a child's naive pronouncements.
"Collaboration?" a professor with salt-and-pepper hair, dressed in a crisp suit, shook his head, unable to suppress a smile.
"Young people these days…" another middle-aged scholar with a refined air remarked, also smiling at Wei Wu, his gaze filled with the kind of amusement one might have for a peculiar treasure.
"Haha, this young Xiaowei has commendable courage!" another chimed in teasingly, though his tone was relatively gentle.
Wang Shouzhuo himself was taken aback for a moment by Wei Wu's direct and grandiose proposal.
