2236 Hold On, I'll Give You Something



Gu Hengbo was very dissatisfied with the outcome of this matter.

However, he had already looked for Feng Yu several times, but the other party didn't give him any face. He even mentioned some of his past, making him very embarrassed.

Ji Ziyin's matter could only be left unsettled.

"Wait a moment. I'll give you something." Gu Hengbo came back to his senses and patted Ji Ziyin's shoulder. Walking back to his desk and pulling out a piece of paper from beside the computer, he returned and handed it to Ji Ziyin.

Ji Ziyin was slightly stunned and asked in confusion when she saw that it was a contact number, "Teacher, this is?"

Gu Hengbo said, "You heard that the dean is looking for an heir, right?"

Ji Ziyin was stunned for a moment before lowering her head. "I've heard of it."

"The First Research Institute will need an heir sooner or later. In the past, you had a high chance of fighting for this position. After all, Xie Xinyao's standards are only so-so.

"As long as you work hard, you will definitely surpass her during the holidays! At that time, it's not like you can't inherit the First Research Institute."

This was Gu Hengbo's plan from the beginning.

He was ambitious. Shi Fu was not the only stubborn person who only knew how to do research. He wanted more, so he naturally thought more.

Therefore, he racked his brains to pave the way for Ji Ziyin. Other than thinking highly of her background, he also wanted Ji Ziyin to inherit the First Research Institute in the future. His status would rise with her and completely suppress Shi Fu to become the number one person in the research institute.

Now, his dream was shattered.

He was no less angry than Ji Ziyin.

"But you know very well that you've already lost this opportunity. And the most likely person to replace you is… Qiao Nian.

"She's more talented than you and has more tricks up her sleeve… You can only think of another way. Instead of taking the path of the research institute, take another path."

Ji Ziyin gripped the note tightly. Her heart pounded as she looked at him. "Teacher, what do you mean?"

Gu Hengbo had been in the First Research Institute for so long that he knew much more than outsiders. He smiled disdainfully and said, "Don't tell me you think the First Research Institute is the only place on the top of the academic world?

"Many existences in this world surpass the independent continent and the First Research Institute.

"Ordinary people can't come into contact with them at all. Those who can come into contact with them and know them call them… the reclusive family.

"They are an extremely huge force. Many forces in the independent continent are controlled by them. Their existence exceeds your current horizons. In fact…" Gu Hengbo pursed his lips and looked at her with a burning gaze. "They are also behind the Ji family."

The independent continent was already an independent place from the various large factions, but there was always someone better. There were some hundred-year-old families hidden behind history. They were low-key and powerful existences.

They controlled many things, but ordinary people could not sense their existence at all.

"The dean knows these people too."

Gu Hengbo paused for a moment. "I originally thought that if you successfully entered the Level 8 laboratory in the future and became a candidate chosen by the dean, you would have a chance to get the prerequisite to get into contact with the reclusive family. It would be better for him to introduce you to them than me…"

As the director of the First Research Institute, Feng Yu naturally knew more people than most.

Gu Hengbo had only touched the tip of the iceberg of that circle. It had already broadened his horizons, and he could not forget it even after so many years.
