Chapter 1504: A Smart Man

The system was created by his students, so they should be the ones authorizing the institute to use their work.

The authorization agreement from Wei Yong was the other way around. It indicated that the institute only gave them the authorization to discuss the subject and was not allowed to use it anywhere else.

A bold notion emerged in Qi Hui’s mind. Did Wei Yong plan on stealing the work?

“What do you mean by mistake?” Wei Yong failed to take notice of the shock on Qi Hui’s face. Instead, he simply tapped his fingers on the table and spoke deeply.

“The project belongs to the institute and it’s classified, but we’re giving you the right to discuss it at the academic level. Did you know how many times I had to ask my boss before it was approved?”

He did not understand why Qi Hui was not happy.

Qi Hui was good at reading expressions. He could tell clearly that Wei Yong wanted to steal the work and pretend he was a generous soul. Sadly, he could not expose Wei Yong and offend him in the process.

Qi Hui clenched his fists slightly and tried to fight for the university’s work. “I know the main project belongs to the institute, but the students in my faculty have developed the system…”

Before Qi Hui was able to finish his sentence, Wei Yong interrupted him. “Even though we have invited you to collaborate with us, the institute retains full ownership. Mr. Qi, we are a nationalized institute. Are you sure you want to go against the government?”

Qi Hui promptly smiled uneasily the moment he heard what Wei Yong said. “Mr. Wei, you’re mistaken. That was not what I meant. I’m really not sure about the authorization agreement. I’ll have to bring the agreement back and see what Prof Liu has to say about it.”
