After obtaining the paper, Liu walked to and fro with Xiang Shan in that half-finished office area, continuously greeting some scholars he knew from the past and exchanging new contact information. Forced to hug a few kilograms of stuff with both arms, Xiang Shan nearly suffered from heatstroke while communicating with colleagues from around the world.
Thanks to this, Xiang Shan managed to get the contact information of twenty to thirty renowned scholars as well as outstanding young academics.
Liu happily stated, these were future connections.
Xiang Shan, however, complained quite a bit about it. Now, everyone had to queue for a while in a communal bathhouse. Squeezing out sweat in such a place really wasn't much help. Moreover, he wondered if there might be no further interactions with these scholars after this project ended.
