This was because they were not members of the Level 8 laboratory. They only had the authority to visit the laboratory for a year.
According to the rules, Cao Yanhua did not introduce Qiao Nian and the others to the other members of the laboratory.
Instead, he told them about the laboratory's composition and introduced which things could be used by them and which things could not be casually taken.
He told them about the places they could enter, what places were secret and the forbidden areas...
After Cao Yanhua took them around briefly, he pointed at the lounge at the side and said to them, "Alright, I'll leave you here. Stay in the lounge today. I'll look for you later. If I have time, I'll show you some experiments."
The lounge he was talking about was actually a pantry. There was a large circular conference table with a few chairs inside. The entire lounge was practical and looked relatively simple. It was probably used for meetings and discussions.
After Cao Yanhua brought them in, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said to the four of them, "By the way, the mentor isn't around today. You probably won't be able to watch the experiment. You'll have to wait for another day."
Shen Qingfeng, Xue Zhu, and the others were all here for the person in charge of the Level 8 laboratory, Shi Fu.
They were disappointed upon hearing that he was not around.
However, Shen Qingfeng was better at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Even though he was disappointed, he still thanked Cao Yanhua politely on the others' behalf.
Cao Yanhua gave them a few more instructions. Then, someone called him from outside, and he hurried away.
They waited for him to walk away.
Xue Zhu leaned on the table and said weakly, "I thought I would be able to see the Deputy Director today. My expectations went down the drain. I'm disappointed."
