Matters like inspecting experimental projects should be left to me.” The man adjusted his sleeve, giving lan Sullivan and Josie Pearson an insincere smile. “Would you two please make way?”

He didn’t believe two interns would dare oppose him, a director at the research institute, Initially, he had quite appreciated these students and wanted to poach them to work under him.

But they refused the offer, stubbornly insisting on staying in Jeremy’s team.

Josie stepped forward and blocked the man.

She said, “I’ve read the institute’s regulations. I don’t recall any rule stating a director has the right to inspect another’s

research project experiments.

“Moreover, when we declared our experiment, we clearly stated the experiment category, purpose, and research direction.

“If you really want to inspect, you should check our declaration documents and the compliance process of our lab application, not directly enter our laboratory.

Josie wore a puzzled expression. “Could it be that your experiment is truly so urgent that you have no choice but to use our laboratory?
