Perspective Medical Genius Young Master-Chapter 742: In a Bad Mood

Although Xiao Yifei had just gotten up, through Zhou Meifeng’s demeanor earlier, he could make a judgment about himself waking up late, a situation that even made Xiao Yifei somewhat curious.

After all, this had never happened before.

However, Xiao Yifei didn’t dwell on it much, he opened his eyes and quickly stood up, but just as he did so, he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, because he realized that he seemed, compared to before, to have grown a little taller.

For Xiao Yifei, who was still young but had already stopped growing, this was almost an impossible occurrence.

Xiao Yifei shook his head, went into the bathroom to start washing up, and although what was happening seemed odd to him, it didn’t really affect him much.

After washing up swiftly, Xiao Yifei went to the living room and finished breakfast.

He said goodbye to Zhou Meifeng and little Wu You with a smile, then left the room, and after walking out of the ’Jinghang Garden’ gate, Xiao Yifei’s somewhat vacant eyes gradually sharpened.

He hailed a car and sped directly towards the research institute.

Having dealt with Rong Fang’s matter, Xiao Yifei felt that now was the time to completely resolve Liu Shengchuan and their issues, after all, they had stayed in Huaxia long enough, and it was time for them to be sent back to Japan.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the research institute. Xiao Yifei straightened his clothes and stepped forward into the research institute.

"Xiao lad!"

However, just as he stepped into the research institute without having had the chance to head towards their lab, a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind him.

"Professor Nangong?"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yifei turned around and saw Nangong, looking weary from haste, hurriedly entering through the main gate of the research institute, and Xiao Yifei couldn’t help being curious, "Why are you so late today too?"

To know, although during this period, members of the Japanese delegation had been causing trouble in the institute, Nangong had never been late, in fact, even before the arrival of the Japanese delegation, Nangong was always the first person to arrive at the institute.

Although Nangong was not young, in reality, he still had a passionate heart for scientific research, which was why, even at such an age, he maintained a respectable academic level.

Even though this old man had a bit of a stubborn temper, the sheer passion Nangong had for scientific research was enough to command respect from anyone, and the reason Xiao Yifei treated Nangong with such respect was not only because Nangong was Nangong Yun’s father, but also because of his dedication to research.

Even though there had been some small misunderstandings between Xiao Yifei and Nangong in the past, these were all dissipated as they worked together.

Therefore, seeing Nangong also being late for work today, just like him, filled Xiao Yifei’s heart with curiosity, just as Xiao Yifei never overslept, Nangong would always be early to the institute, never late.

However, at first, after calling out Xiao Yifei’s name, Nangong’s face became overcast again.

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s question, Nangong looked up and revealed a wry smile to Xiao Yifei.

"Yes, I was delayed by some matters," Nangong said to Xiao Yifei with a smile, but no matter how Xiao Yifei looked at Nangong’s current smile, it was filled with bitterness, and Nangong’s appearance, even during their most difficult days dealing with the Japanese delegation, had never occurred.

The instant he saw Nangong like this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but squint his eyes tightly, and his gaze inadvertently flickered with a hint of inexplicable light.

"Professor Nangong, has something happened?"

Xiao Yifei stood in place, waiting for Nangong a moment, and when Nangong came to his side, Xiao and Nangong walked side by side toward the research institute. While walking, Xiao, frowning, said to Nangong.

To be honest, even if Xiao didn’t have the clairvoyance superpower that greatly enhanced his vision, he could still clearly see the worried look on Nangong’s face. Now, despite Nangong’s effort to force a smile, the bitterness on his face was impossible to conceal.

This situation made Xiao even more curious about what kind of issue could have caused Nangong to look this way, because, in Xiao’s opinion, Nangong had always been a very strong person.

"Not..."

However, after hearing Xiao’s words, Nangong turned his head, and as he looked at Xiao, he began to say there wasn’t anything wrong. Yet, upon seeing Xiao’s serious expression, Nangong found himself involuntarily stopping in his tracks.

He suddenly remembered that Xiao was not the naive young man who didn’t understand anything. During their time working together in the research group, even Nangong had come to regard Xiao as the real core of their team.

And Xiao had never let them down.

Just now, he had been so preoccupied with what had happened today that he failed to react in time, but the current situation even more so indicated that the issue Nangong was facing was indeed no small matter.

"Sigh."

The next moment, Nangong let out a deep sigh. He extended his hand to gesture for Xiao to walk with him to the research institute, and as they walked together, Nangong finally began to speak to Xiao.

"The reason I was late today is because I was called to a meeting early in the morning."

He shook his head and said to Xiao with a sigh.

Today, Nangong seemed to have received quite a blow. Even his once spirited white hair now seemed listless, lying flat on his head without any vitality.

"A meeting early in the morning? What kind of meeting do you have early in the morning?"

Hearing Nangong’s remark, Xiao was truly curious. Although Nangong still held a passion for scientific research, age was not on his side, and there were certain tasks that were quite unsuitable for him to undertake.

Even so, they still required Nangong to attend a meeting early this morning. Regardless of what the meeting was about, this action alone had already made Xiao somewhat dissatisfied.

"The department wanted to hold a meeting..."

Nangong shook his head, his face revealing a bitter smile, "I had no choice, attending the meeting wasn’t an issue, it happened as it happened, but the subject of this meeting, it really made me..."

He paused at this point, and even though he didn’t finish his sentence, Xiao could still sense the discomfort in Nangong’s words.

Xiao furrowed his brow, but before he could say anything, Nangong’s voice rang out again.

"Xiao kid, do you know how many scientific researchers were at the early morning meeting?"

As he talked, he laughed at himself, "Just me alone, and the rest were leaders from the department. They summoned me just to face a barrage of criticism without doing anything else."

"Can you believe it? These Japanese delegations are coming to our Huaxia to bleed us dry, and those civil servants are so foolish, treating the members of the Japanese delegations like royalty."

As he spoke about this issue, Nangong seemed to get angry once again. He gritted his teeth, and the words he uttered were somewhat harsh.
