2165: C2165 A Promise Is Worth a Thousand Gold

C2165 A Promise Is Worth a Thousand Gold

As long as it's something he believes, even if he's forcing it, he's forcing the other party to agree.

Just like now!

"Phew..." Meyerson let out a long breath and said, "I hope they can make a wise choice."

Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had passed.

In these ten minutes, no one in the entire venue spoke. Even their breathing had disappeared.

Regarding this, Druitt was not in a hurry. He stood calmly on the stage and looked at the crowd calmly.

Originally, he was quite anxious. He was worried that if the crowd was unwilling, what should he do?

However, as he vented all the bitterness in his heart and threw the choice to the crowd, he wasn't in a hurry at all.

He was very curious. He really wanted to see what kind of choice the crowd would make.

Choose life? Or would they choose the tiny bit of profit in front of them?

"Cough cough... Professor Druitt, I have thought it through..."

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the crowd.

A slightly plump woman wearing a white professional dress stood up from her seat.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

At this moment, everyone started to feel uneasy for no reason. Many people even clenched their fists.

When Druitt heard the voice, he looked towards the source of the voice. After that, the corner of his mouth split open.

"Professor Sophie, since you have made up your mind, please tell me your choice," Druitt said with a smile.

Sophie was the deputy director of NASA's aerospace department. She had worked in NASA for more than ten years and was considered the most senior employee.

In terms of seniority, she was even "older" than Druitt himself.

"Professor Druitt, you've already said this much. I don't think I can think of any reason to refuse..."

"This..."

At this point, everyone widened their eyes.

They were not fools. How could they not understand Sophie's meaning?

She agreed with Druitt's suggestion. He was preparing to let Qin Luo participate in this Science Breakthrough Award!

Of course, Druitt was not among the dumbfounded crowd!

After hearing Sophie's words, Druitt's eyes lit up.

"Professor Sophie, please tell me your answer," Druitt said.

"I agree to invite Professor Qin Luo to participate in this Science Breakthrough Award Award Ceremony, and as a candidate." Sophie said loudly.

"Hua..."

As soon as she said that, the entire venue boiled up.

Although they had already expected this, when Sophie really said the answer, they were still shocked.1

They never would have thought that Sophie would actually give up that 22 million USD! She chose to stand on Druitt's side!

This simply refreshed their understanding.

"Professor Sophie, please think carefully. This is not child's play."

"Professor Sophie, do you know that your words represent tens of millions of dollars?"

"Sophie!"

"..."

After a short silence, several people in the crowd stood up.

Their faces turned red as they stared at Sophie. They used a tone that sounded like they were roaring to remind Sophie of her decision.

However, in the face of everyone's criticism, Sophie only smiled faintly. She then said in an extremely calm tone, "Professor Druitt has already analyzed it very clearly. Other than that, there is no way to change NASA's status."
