Chapter 709:
âDid you see that? He actually brought a stranger into the core department! Who is she, Mr. Wagner?â
âDoes anyone know her background? She acted like she owned the place! Does she not realize weâre the top minds in the country?â
Even the deputy head joined the conversation.
âBruce, any idea who she is? Judging by how she addressed Mr. Sanderson, their relationship seems unusual. Youâre familiar with the Sanderson family.
Could she be related to them?â
Bruceâs expression softened slightly, though his hand remained tightly clenched beneath his sleeve.
âIâve heard from the older generation that the Sanderson family once lost a daughter and recently found her. If Iâm not mistaken, sheâs the one they just reunited with.â
This revelation only fueled the othersâ irritation. So, she was merely a long-lost Sanderson daughter. What gave her the nerve to act so superior? She even dared to claim she could handle any question as if everyone else were beneath her! On top of that, Flemingâs final comment had been a thinly veiled warning to take advantage of this opportunity or theyâd regret it later.
Seriously, she must be some spoiled heiress. What could there possibly be to regret?
The deputy head, unconvinced, pressed on.
âBruce, do you know where she studied?â
Bruce shook his head and replied, âNot exactly, but Iâve heard sheâs a national-level mechanical engineer who lectures to students in the Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Department at Baythorn University.â
The crowd erupted into laughter at this.

âIs this a joke? This woman thinks being a national mechanical engineer qualifies her to teach us? Doesnât she realize that any one of us could step in as a physics lecturer?â
âExactly! And she had the audacity to tell us to ask anything we wanted. She probably impressed a few Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Department students and thinks sheâs something special.â
âItâs ridiculous. If someone wants to waste time asking her questions, be my guest. I have real work to do.â
âSame here. Iâm swamped with experiments and canât be bothered.â
Hearing this, Bruce, though harboring disdain for Harlee, attempted to rein the group in.
âEnough! Mr. Sanderson specifically requested that we come up with questions for her. If we donât and he gets upset, itâll reflect poorly on Mr. Olson. My suggestion? Have ten people prepare questions. They donât need to be challenging. Just enough to show basic courtesy to Mr. Sanderson, right? That said, the final question should be the experimental problem weâve struggled with for half a year. Letâs see how she handles that.
Agreed?â
The group murmured in agreement. No one wanted to waste their time, so the ten lowest-ranked performers from last monthâs evaluations were given the task of preparing questions.
Bruce nodded, pleased with the consensus.
âYou ten can handle that. The rest of you, back to your experiments.
Donât let this distract you.â
Reluctantly, the selected ten threw together a few questions without much effort, except for Jodi Finch, who often found herself at the bottom of the rankings. She meticulously organized the challenges she had encountered during her experiments.
