CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 257: ARROGANCE?

The field Jiang Cheng focuses on is not solely medicine, yet even so, it’s not comparable to many present here.

In this world, a person’s life is very short, energy is extremely limited, and they can’t achieve much. Compared to Jiang Cheng’s past life, the gap is not just substantial.

Therefore, in Jiang Cheng’s view, these people are no different from ignorant children, whether in knowledge or age—the elderly here are, in terms of past life age, indeed a group of "children" before him!

A group of children discussing and questioning his authority—how could he possibly argue heatedly with them?

This kind of behavior is itself extremely foolish.

Looking at the crowd, Jiang Cheng spoke into the microphone, calmly saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, to all those able to be here—I express my surprise. Yes, in fact, I wasn’t initially prepared, nor did I know I would stand on this stage, because I was unaware of this lecture’s existence. This is truly a bit muddled and I’m sorry. But having devoted all my energy to experimentation and research, as well as my company, I indeed lack the energy to pay attention to other matters. However, personally, I’m still very pleased to be on such a stage."

After Jiang Cheng spoke, the discussions in the venue diminished somewhat. After all, they came here for today’s lecture, and it’s impossible to continue chatting. Only a few held internal hostility toward Jiang Cheng, still whispering to each other.

Yet, after Jiang Cheng finished this somewhat long opening, everyone fell silent, showing surprise in their eyes—since he came to New York in the United States to attend such an academic conference, Jiang Cheng didn’t unusually choose to speak in Chinese but opted for English, so everyone could understand what he was saying.

For something like language, Jiang Cheng wasn’t stubborn. Wherever in the world, learning a language’s fundamental purpose isn’t solely for conversation but is to understand the culture and essence....

At this moment, Jiang Cheng bluntly stated, even before coming here, he hadn’t heard of the Hasslo lecture—actually a bit arrogant—it seemed to imply, even if he hadn’t heard of such an academic conference, he’s able to stand here and lecture, while the audience can only obediently listen to him.

So, while everyone quieted down, their gazes became somewhat unfriendly.

Sitting below, Lv Tengyun was at a loss after hearing these words—her delight at Jiang Cheng’s restraint a second ago turned to dismay as he uttered such lines! This was downright explosive!

Although Lv Tengyun knew Jiang Cheng was speaking the truth, this occasion was clearly unsuitable for such honesty! Really! Saying such blunt truths!

Nevertheless, while she thought this, Lv Tengyun inexplicably felt somewhat relieved!

After all, when Jiang Cheng took the stage, these people kept talking and disrespectfully so.

Jiang Cheng’s response at this moment was precisely the best!

Now, standing on the stage, Jiang Cheng paid no heed to what others thought; annoyance and anger were none of his concern.

Feeling annoyed at just this opening? That’s way too early!

He showed a slight smile and continued, "It’s truly an honor to deliver my speech here! Regarding the title, I’ve prepared—Research and Analysis of Potential in Genetic Evolution: The Main Research Project in Future Medicine!"

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the professors and doctors present widened their eyes in shock—!

Those who were speaking suddenly stopped, looking at Jiang Cheng on stage in surprise.

Was this really Jiang Cheng’s speech title, rather than the research and discovery of Qing Tengsu? What nonsense—this was entirely illogical!

Typically, Nobel Prize winners would choose their prize-winning topics for lectures, not something else.

But now, Jiang Cheng boldly overturned this unwritten rule—could Jiang Cheng believe the current topic deserves more discussion than Qing Tengsu, which won the Nobel Prize in Medicine?

....It’s a news story! Reporters present began thoughtfully considering this upon hearing his words.

Journalists here were undoubtedly industry elites, and their sensitivity to news surpassed many people’s imaginations. Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, they realized it was a reportable subject, and one that could be extensively reported.

Who was on stage? The person standing there was someone who intrigued over ninety-nine percent of the world’s population! His choices were indeed different from ordinary, for he didn’t choose the Nobel Prize topic—Qing Tengsu research and discovery—but instead opted for a topic on genes.

Many reporters showed excited expressions, focussing intensely on photographing and recording.

Jiang Cheng paid no attention to the expressions of the reporters and professors below; his countenance remained calmly unperturbed, and he continued, "Perhaps many people find it surprising that I didn’t choose the Qing Tengsu topic, but instead picked this

However, as I see it, Qing Tengsu’s research and discovery is no longer worth repeating since it’s already in the past. Now, my focus is on the topic of genetic evolution—"

"The central idea—’genes’—refers specifically to human genes, and not those of other organisms.

"In the realm of genes, my research and understanding have been very deep—here, I’ll briefly summarize: the future of medical field development is none other than continuously perfecting and evolving human genes! Cultivating a perfect body, and researching various special-function drugs....

Jiang Cheng spoke calmly, yet the content was far from the calmness of his tone, aiming to overthrow modern medical directions, redefining the term medicine with arrogant rhetoric!

Indeed! These were extremely arrogant remarks!

With a few words, he instantly overturned the current medical system, establishing a medical framework present only in Jiang Cheng’s ideals.

Everyone, upon hearing such arrogant language, couldn’t help but widen their eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Cheng!
