The all-round academic master's girlfriend

An eerie silence fell over the conference room, and all eyes were fixed on Tang Yuze with complex emotions.

There was scrutiny, doubt, curiosity, and a very small number of expectations.

"Yuze, why don't you say a few words to everyone?"

Huang Yu looked at Tang Yuze, her eyes full of encouragement.

Tang Yuze remained unmoved despite the suffocating gazes from the audience.

He calmly stepped onto the stage; though not tall, he possessed a composed demeanor.

Tang Yuze did not rush to speak, but instead used his clear and deep eyes to slowly scan everyone present, memorizing each face.

"Dear seniors and colleagues."

After a moment of silence, he spoke. His voice was clear and not loud, but it carried a strange penetrating power and a calming force, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

He did not address people as "professor" or "teacher," but instead used "senior" and "colleague," which not only expressed respect but also implied equality and cooperation.

"I know that my age and qualifications, standing here as the group leader, may seem unbelievable to everyone."

He got straight to the point, directly addressing everyone's doubts. This frankness actually lessened some of the resistance in some people's hearts.

"Dean Huang, you flatter me. I am not some reclusive master, but simply an explorer who is curious about the mysteries of life and has been fortunate enough to find some possible paths."

Tang Yuze spoke calmly, without the slightest hint of arrogance that comes with youthful success.

"But what I want to say is that we are gathered here today not to argue about seniority or age, but for a common goal."

His voice rose slightly, and his gaze became sharp and filled with a sense of mission.

"Cracking the ultimate code of the human genome!"

"The formula we have may just be a starting point, a framework."

"But it points to a future we've always dreamed of, a future where we can fundamentally understand the structure of life, uncover the root causes of diseases, and thus open up countless new paths to cure those genetic diseases that have plagued humanity for thousands of years!"

His words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirred up ripples.

Those present were all top experts; they understood the complexity and cruelty of genetic diseases better than anyone else, and they were more eager than anyone else to find a cure.

Tang Yuze continued speaking, his voice filled with an infectious enthusiasm and conviction.

"Think about the patients who can't control their bodies because of Huntington's disease, the children who need lifelong blood transfusions because of anemia, and the young people who have difficulty breathing because of cystic fibrosis."

"And there are many more families suffering immense pain because of tiny genetic defects!"

"Our research is not for publishing a few world-renowned papers, nor for competing for any awards or honors!"

“Every calculation, every deduction, and every breakthrough we make may, in the future, transform into the hope of saving a life and bringing happiness to a family!”

"We are using our wisdom to fight against disease and take control of our lives, striving for a healthier and more fulfilling tomorrow for tens of thousands, even millions, of families around the world!"

His speech lacked flowery language, yet every word resonated deeply with these researchers.

When they chose this industry, wasn't their initial dream to explore the unknown and benefit humanity?

In the audience, many people's eyes had changed.

What began as doubt and scrutiny transformed into focus, excitement, and even exhilaration.

Just then, an elderly professor in the front row, with almost completely white hair and a gaunt face, suddenly stood up.

His name is Qin Huai-ren, and he is a leading figure in genetic disease research in China.

At this moment, his eyes were red-rimmed, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

"Team Leader Tang, you're right, you're absolutely right!"

He looked at Tang Yuze on the stage, his voice choked with emotion yet unusually firm.

He took a deep breath, as if using all his strength, and continued:

"To be honest, I myself carry a family history of genetic diseases."

"I have lived in its shadow my whole life."

"And my little grandson... he... he couldn't be saved last year because of this disease..."

He took a deep breath, as if using all his strength, and continued.

As the old man spoke, tears streamed down his face, but he wiped his face hard, his gaze burning like a flame as he stared intently at Tang Yuze.

"Team Leader Tang! I, Qin Huai Ren, may not be able to say much about anything else, but as long as you're pointing in the right direction—to conquer this damned genetic disease!"

"I'm willing to risk my life to fight you. I'm representing myself, and also my grandson who didn't live to see this day."

"Thank you, thank you for bringing hope. I will definitely cooperate with you fully, I promise!"

Professor Qin's heartfelt vow, tinged with blood and tears, was like a final, powerful blow, shattering any lingering doubts or reservations in the hearts of everyone present.

"Yes! Team Leader Tang, we'll work for you!"

"For those patients, for those families!"

"Please give the order, team leader! We will do our utmost!"

"Conquer the genome! Benefit all mankind!"

Whether they are senior academicians or young researchers, they are all united by the same dream and the same responsibility.

Their gazes toward Tang Yuze were no longer filled with doubt, but with trust, expectation, and unwavering willingness to follow.

Tang Yuze looked at the excited faces below the stage, and at Professor Qin's tearful yet unwavering eyes.

He knew that this team, which brought together the best of China's wisdom, was determined!

"Alright! In that case, I hereby declare the Human Genome Project officially launched!"

He nodded heavily, his gaze sweeping across the room, and said in a deep voice.

"Let us work together for China and for humanity!"

Thunderous applause echoed for a long time in this secret research institute deep in the mountains.
