Chapter 437
The other personnel and professors grew worried as well.
“Arjun Research Institute is the fourth most eminent research institute in Arvandor. It’s fine if a commoner doesn’t know about it, but every self–respecting student in a prestigious university would know about it. Moreover, she’s the president.”
Everyone was muttering and whispering to each other when they heard Bonnie’s cold voice.
“I don’t know about Arjun Research Institute because I only recognize the top three research institutes in Arvandor. I don’t think there’s a need to know about them if they’re not in the top three.”
“How cocky! Fine, I’ll play along! You said you knew the top three research institutes. Name them now!” Reece was so ready to see her humiliate herself. He was going to mock her if she couldn’t name them.
She responded leisurely. “Deshawn Research Institute at Adagate holds third place. Ten years ago, their research concluded that the LKM current was decisively beneficial to the treatment of the human brain.
“Hauser Research Institute holds second place. Eight years ago, they disregarded the general public’s dissent and the rebukes from experts in their industry. They developed a new weapon for the nation, which further bolstered our nation’s defenses.
“In fact, they became the most eminent research institute back then. However, it didn’t last long. Seven years ago, Bonita Research Institute seemingly rose from nowhere and took the world by storm.
“They managed to develop a series of groundbreaking scientific projects that shocked not just the entire Arvandor, but the globe. That was how they quickly ascended in the ranks and became the most eminent research institute in Arvandor.
“Needless to say, Hauser Research Institute was demoted to second place and the Deshawn Research Institute to third place.”
“Recently, they even successfully developed the latest nanomaterial, which only serves to solidify its number one standing among the research institutes. To this day, no one could even come close to dethroning them.
“The research institutes that aren’t in the top three ranks didn’t make any groundbreaking scientific research. I might not remember their names, but that’s a far cry from being ignorant.”
What she said shut everyone up effectively, especially Reece. Her words were so on–point that he didn’t. know what he could say at that moment.
“I can see where you guys are coming from. I’ve decided that I’m going to do something to make you and Russell feel at ease. I’m going to solidify Pyralis University’s status as the most prestigious university in Pyralis.”
She knew this would happen before she came. However, she didn’t expect the pushback to be this strong.
“What are you going to do? In fact, what can you do?” Reece refused to believe that a tardy, undisciplined student could make a difference.
“Didn’t you say that Drungend University collaborated with the Arctic… Wait a minute, in It Arctic or Arjun Research Institute? Forget about it. It doesn’t matter. Didn’t thene two collaborate on scientific research?
“Well, two can play at that game. We’ll organize a scientific research competition. The winner will get 10.
million dollars.”
Everyone was shocked to the core by what she said.
“10 million dollars?! That’s a huge figure. I know you’re the president, but do you think you could just decide on something like this? Do you think the school board would agree to something like this? Heck, would the top management approve of this?
“It would’ve been a different story if you’re building a facility on the campus. You might be able to get the approvals. However, you’re asking for 10 million dollars to reward a student. Heh heh heh…” It was
obvious he was mocking her.
Reece wasn’t alone in this. Even Adan, who was on Bonnie’s side, also thought the university would never
fork out this kind of money to reward a single student.
Raising her delicate brows, she said, “I’ll sponsor the reward.”
‘What? She said she’d sponsor it! Are my ears deceiving me? This is 10 million dollars we’re talking about
here!‘
However, she wasn’t done speaking. “10 million dollars is just one of the rewards. I’ve got another reward.
in store.
“The winner will also get an internship at Bonita Research Institute. If the winner excels at it and wishes to work for the institute, then they are welcome to join them.”
Everyone was gripped with shock at what she said.
Reece stammered, “T–The Bonita Research Institute?”
“Mm–hmm.” She nodded in response.
“Is it some sort of joke? The Bonita Research Institute is the top research institute in Arvandor. What makes you think they’d want to collaborate with us? Why would they take in one of our students?
“You’ve just shown me how ignorant you are about the Bonita Research Institute’s standing in the nation. Not even the most prominent professors could get in there. They have to undergo a series of complicated procedures before they can be accepted as an intern.”
