Chen Yuanzhi thought Qiao Ze would leave after their meeting, but to his surprise, Qiao Ze continued to sit there quietly.
Although Chen Yuanzhi had served as a major leader in three universities since becoming an academician, and had dealt with many of the so-called "difficult characters," he had hardly ever encountered a scholar like Qiao Ze—so quiet, yet possessing a presence so commanding it couldn't be ignored.
For a moment, he began to feel nervous again. As if this office was no longer his domain.
What made it even more awkward was that Qiao Ze just sat there silently, not even seriously looking at him.
Considering Qiao Ze's status, it wasn't appropriate to ask him to leave outright, which only made Chen feel completely out of place.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, it was eventually Chen Yuanzhi who couldn't take it anymore and kindly asked, "Um, Professor Qiao, is there anything else?"
Qiao Ze shook his head lightly.
