This time, it was arranged in advance with Qiao Ze. Naturally, Lv Bei would not make the same mistake twice.
"Come in."
"Professor Qiao, this is Li Chengze from the General Equipment Department, whom you had an appointment with yesterday." As soon as he entered, Lv Bei introduced him.
"Mm, please have a seat," Qiao Ze nodded.
"I'll take my leave now." Lv Bei glanced at Li Chengze, then decisively turned around and left the office.
Anyone who has spent more than a year at the Mathematics Research Institute has already grown accustomed to Qiao Ze's style: get straight to the point if there's something to discuss; if not, leave. No need for excessive pleasantries—it's pointless in this building at best and annoying at worst.
As for whether two strangers would feel awkward discussing matters together, that wasn't something Lv Bei cared about.
