"...Peat moss!"
Zhao Yi bit back the curse that almost came out but felt like spitting at Ruan Wenye a few times; even researchers had taken to speaking in clichés.
Why not just come over?
Trying to curry favor?
He couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain, thinking it was a mistake to invite Ruan Wenye. He then contacted an acquaintance in the Physics Department of the Science Academy to inquire about Zhang Qican. Since they weren't acquainted, he felt it wasn't appropriate to call directly, so he simply asked someone else to pass on the message, inviting Zhang Qican to participate in his project without revealing any specifics.
