"Does anyone have any questions?" Qiao Yu asked straight out, following his earlier style.
Someone quickly raised their hand.
"Professor Zeng, you speak."
"Qiao... um, Xiao Qiao, I'd like to ask, the Natural Science Foundation initially set five members for our project, and now it's nine, exceeding by four. Will the higher authorities approve this? Or will only four be official project team members, while others are regarded as external personnel?"
"I intended to address this even if you hadn't asked. Everyone, please rest assured. Since I believe the project team requires this many people, there's naturally a reason.
Everyone is an official member of the project team. I believe if we all work together, we can surely achieve results! Not to mention, I'll certainly communicate well with the higher authorities.
Even if communication doesn't go smoothly, there's no need to worry! After all, since we're chatting behind closed doors today, I think we can speak more frankly.
