"There were only a few buildings, and a dozen or so young people with the same goals rolled up their sleeves and got to work."
"Your grandmother had received an education, and she knew a lot, so she became our leader."
"At that time, every day you could read from the newspapers which city was bombed, and how many people had died. Your grandmother would cry when she saw it, then run back to study day and night."
"From nuclear weapons to viruses, water conservancy projects, chemical engineering, she was responsible for everything..."
"Your grandfather pitied her and wanted to take her for a break, but this woman who had been elegant all her life picked up a broom and chased your grandfather down several streets."
The old man spoke slowly, his face carrying a nostalgic smile. "Those who didn't see it with their own eyes wouldn't understand how great she was."
Selena said with a smile, "God did not treat such a good woman unfairly. Grandfather loved her all his life, and she had three very good and outstanding sons."
Mr. Chambers looked at the resilience in the girl's eyes and his smile became even gentler. "Later on, things gradually got better. The research institute grew larger, and more talents joined. Your grandmother finally had time to enjoy her own life."
"Your grandfather was a rascal, and he even made her give birth to three sons in one go!"
Selena touched her nose and resisted the urge to turn and look at Oscar. As far as she knew, Oscar was two years older than Callum. And Callum was five years older than the youngest uncle, so it was probably an accident in the end.
Mr. Chambers's voice suddenly lowered, "Not long after she gave birth to the youngest son, news suddenly came from the north that someone had discovered an enemy virus laboratory buried underground."
Selena's eyes suddenly widened.
"Your grandfather led the team and accompanied her there."
"However, during the process of destroying the laboratory, she was unfortunately infected."
"Your grandfather tried everything he could, but couldn't save his beloved wife's life," the old man's voice became low, "She died in his arms."
"Before she passed away, she held your grandfather's hand and asked if the virus had been destroyed."
"Your grandfather said yes, and then she closed her eyes."
"She passed away with a smile on her face."
The conference room fell silent.
Selena's voice was cold and firm, "Grandmother was very happy, and the Turner family was proud of her achievements."
"My father and I won't let her down."
Mr. Chambers patted the girl's shoulder, pushed away his student who wanted to help him, and walked up to the podium with his crutch.
No one said anything to stop him.
The old man picked up a pen and wrote twenty-two heavy strokes under Selena's name.
These were all the founding members of the research institute.
With the addition of the Academy of Sciences, Selena's votes had already surpassed those of the Poole and Shaw families.
Vivian was unwilling to accept this and wanted to argue, but someone suddenly stood up inside the institute.
"I am Flynn, represent all the members of the engineering department and supports Miss Turner to become the next dean!"
Someone nodded, and the members of the research department followed suit. "The entire research department supports Miss Turner to succeed as the dean!"
"Mr. Matthews, if it weren't for us old folks supporting the research institute all these years, can the institute still survive today with only you high-level leaders who have forgotten your original intentions?"
