Female Novel
Chapter 2533
There was dead silence in the meeting room. The general manager broke the silence and said, "I knowevery professor is busy with their project at hand. But HQ has signed a contract about talent plans withCapital University. So, the university is hoping that we can send a professor there to become a lecturer.Everyone here is a talent in drug development. I hope you can pick a professor among you to take thisjob. You only have to teach once a week."
After that, the professors whispered to each other and turned to look in Luca's direction.
Luca frowned. She had a bad feeling about this.
Sure enough, after a while, Dr. Jackson spoke, “General Manager, our projects are still developing. Wedon't have time to head to the university to give lectures. Besides, some of the professors are lecturingat other universities too. They wouldn't be able to do it either. I guess the most suitable candidate whocan take on the job would be Dr. Craw."
Luca secretly let out a sigh. It was as expected...
Luca was the person who had the most spare time in the whole office now. She had completed herproject, and there was no new project coming in. Besides, she was not teaching in other universitiestoo.
"Dr. Craw, since everyone thinks you're the most suitable candidate, why don't you go?" The generalmanager turned to look at Luca.
"General Manager, I don't think it's a great idea. Firstly, I'm not as experienced as the other professors.Besides, I don't know how to teach either. I don't think I can handle it." Luca tried to reject it. She trulywas not fit for the job!
Furthermore, would the students listen to her if she taught them?
Luca was aware that her age and experience could not convince the students, especially when it cameto good universities like Capital University. The older the professors were, the more popular they wouldbe.
Luca would merely be ignored if she was sent there.
"Dr. Craw, it's not hard to teach. You're knowledgeable and resourceful. The students can learn a lot ofthings from you even if you simply tell them whatever you know. Besides, it'll only take up one day aweek. It's not going to affect you from preparing for the development of your new research," the generalmanager replied with a smile as though he did not hear Luca had rejected the offer. He immediatelymade the decision and said, "Then it's a deal. I'll provide your information to the academic departmentof Capital University. The students will be choosing their classes in two days. I'll ask them to send theteaching materials tomorrow so that you can prepare for your lecture."
Luca was speechless when she heard him taking the initiative to make arrangements for her.
She even had a feeling that the general manager had already planned to let her take the job. Askingthe professors about their opinions was just a formality.
Luca turned to look at the other professors. They remained silent, using such a method to agree withthe general manager's decision.
Luca was not close to them, so she could not do anything. She bit the bullet and replied, "Okay..."
“That's great. By the way, there's one more thing. Dr. Craw, your research is about to be launched inthe market now. Do you mind sharing your research data with everyone so that we can take a look atit?" the general manager asked. After he found out Luca went out for lunch today, he initially thought ofentering her office to see if he could find anything.
However, he did not expect Luca to lock the door.
When he thought of grabbing something to unlock the door, Luca came back.
Luca secretly sneered. He had not given up.
"General Manager, those are the company's classified documents," replied Luca.
"I know they're confidential. But we're all working in the same laboratory. The drug is launching soonanyway. Sharing the data might help the others, right?" The general manager tried to convince her bydragging the other professors into this and forcing Luca to reveal the research data.
Luca could not help but fall silent. The research the other professors were working on had nothing to dowith her research. There was no need for them to refer to it.
"Of course, I can share the data with the other professors for guideline purposes, but it's strictly forthose who are working in the same department only," Luca stressed the last few words in her sentence.
That would mean the general manager was not allowed to see the data.
The smile on the general manager's face froze.
Luca had given in, but not completely. She could let the other professors see the document, but not thegeneral manager.
The general manager looked around the meeting room. Every professor was busy with their research,and none of them were close to him either.
Although he was the general manager, he could not intervene in the matters of those who worked inthe research department. These researchers had their own tempers, and the company could not affordto lose these talents.
If the professors wrote down that they were dissatisfied with his management in their resignationletters, he might even lose his job.
Luca noticed that the general manager did not say anything. Then, she added, "General Manager,please understand that if I make it accessible to everyone in the office, no one will be able to bear theresponsibility if information is leaked and it results in losses for the company. If you think this isn't goingto work, we can ask for Mr. Crawford's opinion and we'll let him decide. What do you think?"
Luca realized the general manager would not compromise easily, so she had no choice but to mentionLuke's name.novelbin
The general manager forced a smile when he heard Luca mention Luke's name, and he replied, "It'sokay, Dr. Craw. Anything you say."
Luca nodded. She kept quiet after she stopped him.
The general manager tidied the documents on the table and said, "We're done discussing everythingon the meeting agenda. That's all for today."
Then, he turned around and left.
After he left the meeting room, the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He grimaced withdisgust on his face. Then, he handed the documents in his hands to his secretary and said, "Takethese."
The secretary dared not to ask anything. She took the documents from him and followed behind him.
The general manager took his phone out and sent a message to the number: [I'm sorry, I still can't getthe research data.]
After a while, his phone vibrated. He picked it up and glanced at it. He was being scolded through themessage on the screen. [You're a good-for-nothing. Get ready to quit your job if you can't get yourhands on the document.]
The general manager's hand trembled for a moment. Quit his job?
If he quit his job there, would he be able to keep his job here? Where could he go if he lost his job hereas well?
The secretary asked with confusion when the general manager stopped there without moving forward,"General Manager? What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Ask Mr. Link, Dr. Craw's subordinate, to come to my office." The general manager kept hisphone. He knew even if he quit his job there, that person would not let him remain in his job positionhere.
If Luke found out that he was one of them, he would not let him go easily. Eventually, he would loseeverything in A City and his efforts would be in vain. No way. He would not let this happen to him.
"Dr. Craw's assistant? Okay." The secretary confirmed with him. Even though she was puzzled, sheagreed to it.
After the meeting ended, Luca was forced to have small talk with a few professors there. She was ableto leave after that.
Rhett had stayed by her side the entire time, and he said, "Dr. Craw, I think something's wrong with thegeneral manager."
"Yes. He's been acting weird. That's why I asked someone to deliver the safe box from T Corporationhere," replied Luca. When she found out the general manager had tried to open her office door, she
informed Warren to bring T Corporation's safe box here.
