The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
No one had expected Li Muya to show up!
Especially Sheng Wendong, his eyes filled with astonishment!
Although he had never liked Li Muya, he had never thought of falling out with her!
After all, he was due to retire in just over a year!
What he had said just now was merely words that had slipped out in the heat of the moment!
Had he known Li Muya would be present, he would never have said it!
"Teacher Sheng, I have always respected you!" Li Muya walked into the classroom and said frankly, "If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can say it out loud in front of everyone!"
"So that others won't speculate whether I suppressed you or made things difficult for you!"
"Otherwise, why would you, an excellent university teacher, slander me in front of all the students!"
The students in the classroom felt their hearts stop beating!
No one had expected the usually humble and polite Li Muya to be so assertive now!
Her words were tantamount to declaring war on Sheng Wendong!
Sheng Wendong's face was grim!
He hadn't expected Li Muya to declare war on him for Chen Nan!
But as things stood, he had no way out!
Otherwise, he feared his reputation would be tarnished!
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Since that's the case, I will state my opinion!"
"You are not qualified to be the head of the Chinese Medicine department!"
"And even less qualified to be the dean of the School of Medicine!"
Hearing this!
All the students felt their scalps tingle!
They thought Sheng Wendong had gone mad!
Otherwise, how could he have said such a thing?
Li Muya said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, this is the favor shown to me by the school leaders, which led to my appointment to this position!"
"If you have any opinions on my ability, you can report them to the school leaders!"
"Favor?" Sheng Wendong snorted, "What ability do you have? You applied for ten million yuan in funding to develop a smoking cessation drug, and what was the result?"
"The laboratory was built, and the team was assembled!"
"But your ten-million-yuan project was inferior to a young man who easily developed a smoking cessation drug!"
"Are you worthy of the school leaders' trust in you?"
"Are you worthy of that ten million yuan in research funding?"
The way Sheng Wendong framed it showed how malicious his intentions were!
But Li Muya appeared calm, "Is that all?"
"Is that all?" Sheng Wendong looked at her in disbelief, "How dare you say 'is that all'? Do you know how much hard-earned money of taxpayers that was?"
Li Muya said with a light smile, "Yes, I admit I failed to develop the drug I proposed, but what does that prove?"
"Does it prove I lack ability?"
"Am I deserving of death?"
At this point, she showed a confused expression, "I don't understand why you would negate my ability based on one failure?"
"If we follow your logic!"
"Does it mean that if one fails once, they will never be able to turn their life around?"
"And have to live their life under the label of a failure?"
She shook her head slightly, "I think this way of thinking is very unhealthy!"
"The reason why our country can prosper and awe other nations!"
"Is ultimately because countless predecessors sought experience from their failures!"
"They bloodied their heads and broke their noses in their failures!"
"They sought experience from their failures!"
"Developed advanced nuclear weapons!"
"Developed various sophisticated instruments!"
"Developed spacecraft to the moon!"
"Developed aircraft carriers that patrol the seas!"
"Failure..." At this point, she smiled, "What's the big deal? Which young person today is afraid of failure?"
As soon as she said this, a round of applause erupted from the audience!
Firstly, Li Muya had spoken to the hearts of the young people!
Secondly, Teacher Sheng was not a popular figure!
He often scolded students for trivial matters!
Some female students had even been scolded to tears by him!
And now, Li Muya had avenged them!
"Furthermore!" As soon as Li Muya's voice sounded, the classroom fell silent again, "I did fail this time, but I gained a very good team and a well-equipped laboratory!"
"All in all, not too much money was lost!"
"Neither the team nor the laboratory is a one-off deal!"
"They will be useful in the future!"
"Oh, and one more thing!"
"Last night, I donated ten million yuan to the school in my personal capacity!"
"This is to compensate for the sense of inadequacy I feel!"
As she said this, she adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, and a charming smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face, "Please, Teacher Sheng, do you have anything else to say?"
The scene was silent, which spoke volumes!
Sheng Wendong felt as if his face had been slapped swollen by the other party!
Especially the act of donating ten million yuan directly invalidated the high praise he had previously bestowed upon Li Muya!
But he was still unconvinced and said in a low voice, "So what if you donated ten million yuan? All the members of your team are young people under twenty-five. I don't believe you people are capable of great things!"
Li Muya smiled, "So, your resentment stems from my refusal to let you join my team back then?"
Sheng Wendong's face turned grim!
When he learned that Li Muya was forming a team, he immediately signed up, wanting to become a core member. This way, even when he reached retirement age, he could still be reappointed outside the school and earn a substantial income!
But Li Muya had rejected him, which was precisely why he held a grudge!
Leading to today's events!
"As for whether my team is capable of great things, Teacher Sheng need not worry too much about that!" Li Muya continued, "I have already proposed a new research project, which is about a special medicine for the radical cure of hepatitis B."
"As everyone knows, hepatitis B affects hundreds of millions of carriers in our country!"
"Although hepatitis B carriers are not affected in their daily lives or work!"
"However, eighty percent of liver cancer patients develop from hepatitis B carriers!"
"Once diagnosed, it is almost a death sentence!"
"If we can find a radical cure for hepatitis B, then our country will be able to shed the title of a country with a high prevalence of hepatitis B!"
"I recall you have a little over a year until retirement, right?"
"In that case, let's make a bet. If I cannot develop a special medicine for hepatitis B within three months, I will submit my resignation to the school leaders!"
At these words, everyone felt their scalps tingle, and a shiver ran down their spines!
Currently, many research teams are developing special medicines for hepatitis B.
Not only in Daxia, but also in some Western developed countries!
And they have been researching for decades without any breakthrough progress!
Now, Li Muya claimed to develop a special medicine for hepatitis B within three months!
Was she crazy, or were we hallucinating?
Let alone ordinary people, even Chen Nan felt that Li Muya had gone mad!
This was an impossible task!
Sheng Wendong, suppressing his excitement, said, "If you can develop a special medicine for hepatitis B within three months, I am willing to apologize to you in front of all the teachers and students of the School of Medicine!"
