Frank's footsteps immediately stopped, and he turned his back to Qiao Jing and gritted his teeth. While his face was full of resentment, there was also a sense of awe that naturally came from the bottom of his heart.
These complicated emotions made him dare not refute Qiao Jing's words. He turned around forcefully and forced a smile on his face.
"Professor Qiao, is there anything else?"
Although he felt it was disgusting that Qiao Jing caused him to lose face, he still knew very well the status gap between him and the other party.
Otherwise he wouldn't be so polite.
Qiao Jing's eyes fell on Frank's pocket, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You said you wanted to take away my things, so you can take them away?"
In fact, she doesn't need a mobile phone. After all, after this, John and the others will not be able to deal with it so easily. In addition, due to surveillance, it will be a matter of time before her mobile phone is taken away.
However, not everyone can touch what belongs to her.
When Frank met Qiao Jing's eyes that were like ice blades, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and a sense of fear came out spontaneously.
He pinched his palm quietly, then came to his senses and answered Qiao Jing's words.
"Professor Qiao, I didn't want to take your phone away, but I was more worried about affecting your research, so I took it away. Moreover, I only took it away temporarily and will return it to you after a while."
Qiao Jing slightly narrowed her dark phoenix eyes, lightly opened her red lips, and spoke like ice.
"I'll just say it again, give me back my phone."
Looking at the expressionless Qiao Jing gave Frank a feeling of calmness and self-reliance, which made people couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines and goose bumps.
"This-" Frank was terribly embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this time, Qiao Jing's cold voice sounded again.
"Okay, you can take my phone away."
Hearing what Qiao Jing said, Frank thought she had compromised, and he felt relieved in his heart.
However--
Before he could even let go, Qiao Jing's cold voice sounded again.
"I won't carry out the experiment."
Frank looked at Qiao Jing and then at the mobile phone in his hand, his brows furrowed so hard he could pinch a fly.
After much hesitation, he finally decided to return the phone to Qiao Jing.
They are now on the island, and Qiao Jin has no way to get out without a boat.
Moreover, there is a signal blocking device in the laboratory, so even if Qiao Jing holds a mobile phone, it will not have much effect.
It was precisely because of this that they chose not to confiscate Qiao Jing's cell phone after they brought him here.
Seeing that Qiao Jing didn't say anything anymore, Frank thought that the matter was over, so he said hello and left the research room directly.
A second before closing the door, he did not forget to warn him again.
"I would also like to trouble Professor Qiao so that the research can be completed as soon as possible."
Their country's agricultural level is really lagging behind now. If Qiao Jing can help them figure it out, it will definitely be a big improvement!
Qiao Jing still ignored Frank and continued to eat the fruit quietly.
When Frank saw this, he didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of making Qiao Jing angry, he didn't even do the experiment.
He had no choice but to help Qiao Jing close the door.
Qiao Jing looked at the closed door, her eyes darkened, and she went straight into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing, she lay directly on the bed, pulled up the quilt, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
This scene was also seen in the surveillance room by John, who was watching the surveillance in real time.
He raised his hand to look at the time and found that it was only nine o'clock, and Qiao Jing didn't seem to have any intention of helping them with their research.
At this time, Frank also returned to the monitoring room. Just when he was about to report the situation of his cell phone to John, he saw Qiao Jing getting ready to sleep on the bed.
He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a confused look;
"Mr. John, I promise that I have told Professor Qiao to complete the research as soon as possible. But I didn't expect Professor Qiao to stop doing research at this time and prepare to go to bed directly."
John's eyes were fixed on Qiao Jing, who was covering himself tightly with a quilt on the bed, and he asked:
"How's the situation with Professor Qiao's cell phone?"
Frank immediately reported the truth:
"There is no record of Professor Qiao sending information outside, but if she is Q, she can definitely do this."
After hearing Frank's words, John frowned so hard that he could pinch a fly.
He stared at Qiao Jing, who was sleeping leisurely on the screen, and slammed the remote control in his hand on the table with a "bang!"
"Don't I talk too much in a good voice?! Why on earth doesn't Professor Qiao want to help us with our research?"
Frank immediately catered;
"Mr. John, please don't be angry yet."
John smashed everything on the table to the ground.
"Why can't she do research for us? And, judging from the current situation, she has no choice but to do research for us!"
He said so many nice things in a nice voice, but Qiao Jing still refused to help with research.
What can he do?!
Frank was also distressed by this matter at this time, and the two of them fell into deep thought at the same time.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of a way.
"Mr. John, I have thought of a way to get Qiao Jing to start experiments."
When John heard this, he turned to look at Frank.
"What method? No matter what the current situation is, Professor Qiao must be willing to help us conduct experiments. Otherwise, our country is likely to fall into a food crisis!"
Since he said good things and Qiao Jing was unwilling to help with the experiment, he could only try tough measures.
As far as he knew, another country that was opposed to them was also researching wheat recently, so he had to give priority to researching these things before the other country came out.
Frank bent down to John and whispered something.
After hearing Frank's words, John's tightly frowned brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
"Then do this and come to the laboratory with me right now!"
Frank stood up immediately and went with John to the laboratory where Qiao Jing was.
When they opened the door, they found that Qiao Jing was not asleep at all, and was looking directly at where they were.
This also proves the conjecture that Qiao Jing doesn't want to help them conduct experiments at all.
When Qiao Jing noticed that someone opened the door, she immediately entered a state of alert. She looked over long before the person entered the door.
When she saw John and Frank coming over again, she quickly came to the sofa and sat down.
The moment they opened the door, their eyes met, and then they fell into a long silence.
In the end, it was Qiao Jing who broke the deadlock first.
"You two came to see me for something?"
She thought she would finally be clean and was going to go to bed to rest, but luckily, these two people ran over directly.
Frank was the first to answer Qiao Jing's words.
"Professor Qiao, we just have something to do and want to talk to you──"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by John raising his hand.
Frank immediately shut up.
John sat opposite Qiao Jing, but his eyes were looking at the tabletop of the experimental table. The things on it were almost untouched. Except for the tinkering at that time, he didn't know what they were.
But this is not the point. The point is that now Qiao Jing is unwilling to help with the experiment.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally, considering Qiao Jing's identity and the fact that he still needed the other party's help in conducting experiments, he decided to try to talk properly first.
If Qiao Jing still refuses to agree after talking to him carefully, then he can only use the trick that Frank said.
Thinking of this, John retracted his gaze from the experimental table, and then turned to look at Qiao Jing.
"Professor Qiao, aren't you willing to help us do experiments?"
