Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 71

This event was held by the medical faculty, while Dr. Wale was chosen as the main spokesperson. He gave the lecture like a class. His audiences behaved carefully like the students. So in the end, when it came to Q&A session, almost no one dared to throw a question at him.

"Does anyone have questions about my speech?" Dr. Wale put on a straight face and said unhappily, "When I was your age, my teachers would be chased after by me and then bombarded by my questions for I was afraid that they might have not enough time to answer all the questions."

Audiences became even quieter after Dr. Wale mentioned this experience.

Alex and Pearl exchanged a tacit look and giggled

It was common knowledge Dr. Wale liked to ask quizzes. Whoever was unable to answer his question would be scolded. So, who would dare to ask him questions now? The more they argued with him, the more scoldings they might get.

Dead silence took over the whole meeting room. It was so quiet here that one could probably hear the sound of a small pin falling to the ground.

"Ahem... Do you really have no questions to ask?" Pearl faked a cough. She then adjusted her microphone to the right position, saying, "Dr. Wale, these students must be way better than we were. So they don't have any questions about today's topic now."

Dr. Wale's face  obviously showed his displeasure.

Nathan Morgan, the head of the medical faculty, broke out in a cold sweat for her words as he stood next to Pearl.

Pearl looked around at the audience and continued, "Well, if you don't have any academic questions for Dr. Wale, you could ask him some casual questions. Like, you can start by asking him how to cook pork ribs."

Everyone was taken aback.

But Pearl remained calm. "The pigs are all well-fed in our science labs. What dishes can be made from which of their body parts is a whole new knowledge. I know the best soy-braised pork should use the streaky pork as the main ingredients. By the way, how we should cut the meat accordingly is also a hard knowledge too."

Alex faked a cough besides Pearl. He knew every pair of ears under the stage could hear him clearly, but he still pretended to lower his voice to whisper to her, "Pearl, stop talking this. I am afraid Dr. Wale will find out your truth. You know, the one which you ate all of his pigs those days."

As soon as Alex finished his words, students in the auditoriums could no longer hold their laughter.

One student laughed first, the next followed. Soon, it became a domino effect that everyone began to laugh to tears. The serious atmosphere immediately became more vibrant.

After a while, Dr. Wale coughed twice, loudly enough for everyone to hear him. The students soon pursed their lips. Once again, no one dared make any sound.

Dr. Wale then said, "Why do you teach them such rubbish?"

Pearl replied confidently, "I had done the experiments with the pig at that time. And we can not just let it go to waste. In fact, it's Mrs. Harrison's that cooked the pork ribs for us for I knew nothing about cooking back then. Besides, Dr. Wale, I'm sure you had your fair share of it too, right?"

"You sure are very reasonable," Dr. Wale's words were full of sarcasm.

"Yep, it's very reasonable."

Again the whole room was taken over by students' hysterical laughs. They wondered who she was that had the guts to argue with Dr. Wale. No one had ever seen people talking with Dr. Wale like this before. The room became lively again.

"Do you know who is she? When did she graduate? She is so interesting, isn't she?"

"I heard she's Dr. Wale's prized student, who's our senior by ten years."

"She's so pretty with a very charming demeanor!"

"I heard she's also a Deputy Chief Surgeon. It's impressive that she has got such a demanding position at such a young age. I remember few of our seniors has achieved such a feat."
