Next step will be vying for the title of an academician.
Old Qian came looking for Zhao Yi as soon as he heard the good news. He happened to catch Zhao Yi wrapping up his work.
The report is complete!
Done!
After submitting the report, all there was left to do was wait for verification and settlement.
Zhao Yi sent Liu Tong'en a message, then stretched out, releasing a long sigh. He turned to Old Qian, who was waiting on the side, and quickly apologized, "Old Qian, what's up?"
"Your professional title!"
Old Qian didn't want to interrupt when he saw Zhao Yi was busy, but he couldn't wait to express his excitement once he saw Zhao Yi was free. "You've been promoted to level two professor, equal to the status of a department-level official!"
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Now your rank is even higher than mine..." he said sourly, the last part stinging a bit. After decades in the field, to be surpassed by someone in their twenties, was hard to swallow.
