"I just returned to H Country and cannot compare to Miss Lydia's contributions to the research institute for the time being, that is indeed a fact," Constance said.
"But leaving aside Lab 717, the 'Intuition Series' was brought back to H Country by me, and that is also a fact," she continued.
"With this achievement, I believe I am qualified to serve as the deputy director of the research department," Constance said with a slight smile, looking at Selena's furrowed brows.
"Of course, for the sake of fairness, I don't need any special recognition. I will still be under your supervision in the research department," she added.
Hearing this, the senior executives of the research institute and the Shaw family breathed a sigh of relief.
The looks in their eyes as they gazed at Constance were filled with appreciation and guilt.
Compared to the talented and highly educated Constance, Selena, who was forcing her personal vendetta into the public, appeared particularly unpleasant!
Selena lightly tapped her slender fingers on the desk and looked at Constance without saying a word, giving no indication of what she was thinking.
She didn't agree.
Nor did she disagree.
The atmosphere had just relaxed a bit due to Constance's concession, but Selena's unusual silence once again tightened it up.
Constance met Selena's eyes, appearing puzzled. "Miss Turner, do you have any other questions?"
Selena casually lifted her eyelids and said, "No questions, I just have the same answer to your request: I disagree."
As soon as she spoke, the scene erupted once again.
"Selena, you've gone too far!" Vivian stood up and slammed the table.
Henry's face was full of anger as he spoke in a low voice, "Miss Turner, Miss Baxter has already made a concession. You should stop now."
Freddie was furious and sneered, "Miss Turner, the research institute is not just your Turner family's decision-making power! You're showing off too early!"
Not only were the senior executives of the research institute and the Shaw family furious, but even other people in the research institute felt that Selena was going too far.
Given Constance's concession, did Selena really have to force such a super genius to start as an intern from the bottom?
"Selena, you've gone too far!"
"Miss Baxter has agreed to be the deputy head of the research department, which is already giving you enough respect. What else do you want?!"
"Miss Baxter is a recognized physics genius with outstanding talent and a graduate of a prestigious school. On the other hand, up until now, you haven't produced anything noteworthy. You're already occupying the position of head of the research department, so why should you prevent other geniuses from taking over?!"
For a moment, the large conference room was filled with criticisms and denunciations of Selena.
Constance finally frowned and pursed her lips. "Miss Turner, can you tell me what specifically you're dissatisfied with?"
"There's nothing about you that I'm specifically dissatisfied with," Selena said in a particularly flat tone. "But there's also nothing about you that satisfies me."
Constance bit her lip.
In the face of the angry and dissatisfied stares of the group from the research institute, Selena lazily leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs. "The precondition for your achievements is the Intuition Series that you brought back. It has made a significant contribution to H Country's machinery."
"But to be frank, the Intuition Series is expensive, complex, and requires extremely high physical and mental abilities for those who use it. It's only suitable for a few geniuses."
"In other words, for most people, it's just an unattainable decoration."
