Theodore hadn't yet started working on any research projects, so he didn’t fully understand what made this
equipment so special. But seeing Joli’s expression, he couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.
“Is it expensive, Joli?”
Joli nodded. “Very expensive.”
“How much
“How much does it cost?”
“More than a million.”
“What!”
That... that was shocking. It wasn't just the price-it was the fact that Miranda and her group bought something
so expensive without hesitation.
Three people, spending over a million on one lab equipment..
Theodore then thought about his parents. They were farmers who toiled under the sun and could only save a few
thousand in their best year. Yet this equipment here cost over a million dollars.
Theodore stood there in a daze.
Just then, Madison's voice echoed from the hallway-they were back!
Joli and Theodore quietly exited through the back door. As they left, Joli couldn't resist glancing back. In the
sunlight, Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian were walking in, laughing together.
Miranda was holding a bottle of Evian-also expensive
Madison had her arms full of snacks. The packaging was covered in Danglish. Clearly, they were all imported and
not cheap.

Sebastian was sipping on a sports drink Joli had never seen before. Of course, he had no idea what it tasted like.
“What are you thinking about, Joli?”
As they reached the bottom of the stairs, Theodore noticed Joli’s silence and nudged him.
Joli smiled softly. “... Must be nice.”
Theodore nodded, thinking he was talking about the new equipment. “Yeah, it is. A new machine is great.” Joli
chuckled. But he wasn’t talking about the machine He was referring to something else entirely.
They had the courage to fight back, the confidence to argue. Most importantly, the financial power to back it up.
That was what was truly great.
Meanwhile, inside the lab, Miranda offered water to the engineers. “Please, have swater.”
Madison chimed in, “I've got snacks too!”

Christine only found out about the new CPRT machine three days after it arrived. As expected, the old professor
was livid, her hands shaking with anger.
“That Sophie Xander! How could she go so far!”
Then, she looked at her students. “And you three! Why didn’t you tellabout something this big? Yes, I'm old,
and my health isn’t great, but I'm not dead yet!”
Miranda quickly interrupted, “Don’t talk like that! Don’t even say such things! Ugh, knock on wood!”
Christine continued, “If you'd told me, there'd have been no need to get so worked up and buy a new machine
yourselves!”
Miranda shrugged. “It wasn’t just out of frustration. We've tried the new equipment, and it’s so much better than
the old ones in the lab. Our efficiency has skyrocketed.”
Madison nodded enthusiastically. “Totally worth it! Best money ever spent!”
Sebastian added, “The new machine is definitely more efficient,”
Christine was tongue-tied. “I say one thing, and you three have ten things ready to retort!”
“Hehe...”
And with that, the issue was settled.
Sophie hadn't been in a good mood these past few days.
First, Joli was reprimanded, which also reflected poorly on her as his mentor. Then, the dean summoned her for a
talk.
And it wasn’t Joseph, the associate dean who handled minor matters-it was the actual head of the Faculty of
Bioinformatics.
The conversation was filled with both subtle and direct warnings. He said there was to be no academic division
and certainly no forming factions.
Sophie left the dean's office
drenched in cold sweat. The more
she ho about the ahgtier she
became. He stormed into Joseph's
office, demanding to know if he had
been the one to report her. The
