Connor waved his hand. “No, just some other things to deal with. You get some rest
Rebecca still wanted to say more, but seeing that his mind was already made up, she had no choice but to nod reluctantly.
The next day-
Word spread quickly across campus.
Several specialists from Jandale had suddenly arrived. Rumor had it they were here for some kind of research.
Only professors and top graduate students were invited to observe.
By morning, many were already feeling honored just to receive an invitation.
“These are the judges for the medical exchange conference. If you build good relationships now, it’ll help with PhD admissions or job offers later–it’s top–tier networking.”
Micah glanced nervously at the only invitation in Calvin’s hand, clearly determined to be chosen.
He was the most capable member in the lab. If there was only one invitation, it had to be his.
After a night of rest, Rebecca was back to full energy. Hearing Micah speak like that stirred her desire as well.
If things with Connor didn’t pan out, getting recognized by the Jandale experts would be another excellent springboard.
“Don’t worry, Rebecca. I’ll share everything I learn with you after I go.”
Rebecca froze and looked at Micah, confused.
Micah, on the other hand, seemed perfectly justified, like nothing was out of place.
Others quickly chimed in with flattery.
“You’ve been here the longest, and you’re always at the top during assessments. Of course the professor would pick you.”
Rebecca’s heart skipped a beat.
But she still forced a polite smile and played along. While the others weren’t paying attention, she quietly walked up to Calvin and whispered a few words.
Calvin gave a small smile and handed the invitation to her. “Alright. I’ll go with you.”
The lab went completely silent.
Everyone stared at Calvin in disbelief.-
“That’s enough. Get back to your experiments.”

Calvin quickly realized how awkward the situation was and dissed them
Micah and the others exchanged glances.
They were supposed to meet the experts soon. Why was the prodes dragging the o
Micah felt a wave of frustration.
If he had something to deal with, couldn’t he at least give the invitation to its rideful compere?
“What’s the problem? Don’t want your credits anymore?”
Calvin’s face darkened when no one moved.
Micah finally left the office with his classmates, dragging his feet,
Inside the office, Calvin looked at Rebecca with genuine surprise,
“You’re saying the Lane family is interested in you ? ”
Rebecca nodded with a soft smile. “The proposal I wrote passed their internal review
“Mr. Connor said their representative is impressed by my ability. They’ll even show up in person at the medical exchange to cheer me on.”
Calvin’s face lit up with admiration.
“That’s amazing. I heard the Lane family has its own private research institute filled with elite talent. If they bring you in, that would be an honor for me as well.“.
Rebecca lowered her head modestly.
“I’m still young and inexperienced. I don’t have much of a voice. Getting into their lab will be tough.”
“But it’s fine. I’ll just do my best. Being able to learn from you already feels like the luckiest thing in the S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
world.”
Calvin felt a rush of emotion.
He knew deep down–it was because his status wasn’t as high as those fame–chasers, and that had affected his students.
He hadn’t expected much today. He just wanted to take his top–performing student along to observe.
But now that Rebecca had this kind of connection, things were different.
Sure, she lacked experience, but as her professor, he had the skills.
As long as she opened the door, he could become a member of the Lane family’s research team too.
Next time John saw him, he’d have to show respect–wouldn’t even dare breathe too loud.
Still, a teacher using a student… it didn’t sound great.

So…
“You take the invitation. Let’s head to Darian Hall together.”
“Me?”
Rebecca looked genuinely stunned.
Calvin nodded and patted her shoulder lightly.
“Of course you. You deserve it.”
“But everyone else is-”
Calvin waved it off.
“I’ve seen how hard they work. I’ll make it up to them next time.”
“Then… thank you.”

In the lab-
Micah couldn’t focus on the experiment.
He knew he shouldn’t feel this anxious.
He’d always been the one chosen for opportunities like this.
Maybe the professor really did have something important to discuss with Rebecca.
A few classmates tried to cheer him up.
“You’re graduating in June. The professor knows that. If there’s a chance to be seen, of course he’d think of you.”
“Exactly. All those visiting experts work with major domestic companies. If he recommends you to one of their labs, it’ll be a done deal.”
“If you land the offer you want, don’t forget us!”
“Yeah, I’m graduating next year–you better help me too.”
