“What about Jaden and Natalie? Weren’t they both Professor Lawson’s students?”
“Don’t even get me started. I heard Jaden convinced his family to invest in that failed project. Now the project’s canceled, the investment’s gone down the drain, and his father locked him up!”
“Wow, really? I hadn’t heard that.”
“Haven’t you seen the news? Mr. Monroe isn’t someone to mess with. Companies that partnered with him on unprofitable projects didn’t end well.”
“Serves him right. I always thought he only got into Professor Lawson’s team because his family is rich. Seems it was true.
“Who knows? Anyway, their project fell through, which is good news for us. Maybe we’ll even have a shot at Professor Lawson’s new project!”
“Are you crazy? Joining Professor Lawson’s team now? Aren’t you afraid of being exploited? Have you forgotten what happened to Josie?”
“No pain, no gain. Besides, David’s credentials are bsolid/b. Even if I can’t stick it out and leaveter, my resume will be significantly enriched by bthis /bexperience.”
That’s a good point. Normally, it would be very difficult to join Professor Lawson’s team, but this time, the recruitment is open to everyone, so we can all give it a try!”
What is David up to again?‘ Josie furrowed her brow slightly and said, “Sean, shall we go and have a look as
well?
They walked towards the bulletin board together, Josie’s mind racing
She thought back to her previous life. Initially, it was also the Monroe family who invested in David’s projects, but progress was painfully slow back then.
After about six months with no bresults/b, the Monroe family withdrew their funding. Jaden apparently got beaten by his father over it and ended up moving into the research institute in anger!
He was badly hurt that time. Now, with the project canceled outright, bhis /bfather probably showed even less mercy. Jaden being “locked up‘ was likely a cover; he was probably beaten too badly toe to school.
Josie pursed her lips, feeling not an ounce of sympathy. She just thought that Davidunching a new project bnow/b, with open recruitment for assistants right within the university, probably meant bhe /bwas up to no good.
The area in front of the bulletin board was packed. Despite David’s project being canceled and the scandal of his student’s arrest, bhis /breputation remained untarnished.
His status as the top cell biology professor in the country’s medical schools still made countless students scramble for his attention.
At this thought, Josie’s gaze darkened. As expected, dealing with David Lawson could not be rushed.

His reputation, status, and the achievements he has attained in the medicalmunity over the years made it impossible for anyone to easily drive bhim /bout of the medical field. Unless…
Josie’s breathing grew faintly heavy as she strove to suppress the turmoil within her chest.
“Sean, let’s go!” Josie turned to leave, but was stopped by Sean.
“Wait, look over there,” he saidb, /bnodding towards a specific direction.
Following his gaze, Josie saw Keh standing with David.
Noticing her gaze, Keh gave a slight, almost imperceptible nod, a sh of triumphant calction flickering in her eyes.
Josie was slightly startled and quickly turned her head to look at the bulletin board. ‘Could the new research topic be rted to Keh?‘
“Xander and Mr. Longley have always been rivals for the position of director at the National Medical Research Institute. Their philosophies often shed. Now, Mr. Longley has withdrawn from the candidacy, shifting his focus to traditional medicine research.
“Xander seems to have won, but within the National Hospital, most senior members were students promoted by Mr. Longley himself. One misstep, and his directorship could be over.
“He’s desperate for an achievement now to consolidate his position.” Sean’s expression was cold and serious as he stared at the name of the new project on the bulletin board. “Choosing to coborate with David at this critical juncture is clearly meant to challenge us head–on. bJosie/b, do you think our research achievements can overshadow David’s?b” /b
