They had come together.
Ruan Wenye was still conducting theoretical research, but he represented the anti-gravity team, and when the senior leadership visited the university, they simply brought him along. In case there were any academic issues, Ruan Wenye could help "translate" them.
As they approached the door, Qian Hong hurried over to gesture for silence, explaining, "Academician Zhao said not to disturb."
Ruan Wenye looked towards the senior leadership.
The senior leader said, "Alright, we'll just wait here for a while."
They did not wait for the two men to finish their discussion but were joined by Qiu Chengwen.
Qiu Chengwen had heard that Edward Witten had come and was researching with Zhao Yi, so he rushed over to take a look, only to encounter the senior leadership.
"What is this..." Qiu Chengwen asked, somewhat perplexed.
"Zhao Yi said not to disturb," Ruan Wenye said with a touch of helplessness.
