1623 Someone Strange
Huo Yao’s cheeks twitched. “Senior Brother Li?”
Li Chenhui cleared his throat. After a moment, he simply raised his chin and gestured at the road.
Huo Yao raised her brow. She looked in the direction he was pointing. After taking a glance, she veered her eyes and sighed. “I wonder whose cars those are? I’m so envious.”
Both Li Chenhui and Wen Ping did not know what to say.
Just listen to her crap.
Huo Yao pretended not to notice her senior brothers’ expressions. Instead, she continued walking leisurely.
Before long, they arrived at school.
After taking a seat, Huo Yao took out her phone feeling bored.
The academic conference had yet to start. Moreover, she was just tagging along, so she did not have to go onto the stage and share her ideas.
Instead, her senior brothers were very nervous.
Before long, a teacher from Sirin University came over asking them to send their presentation files to the back stage.
Wen Ping quickly took out his thumb drive. Wu Yue took it from his hand. “I’ll do it. Just prepare for your presentation.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wu.” Wen Ping nodded.
“Just relax and don’t be nervous. I have faith in you.” Wu Yue smiled and said a few encouraging words before he went backstage with the teacher.
Teachers from other schools were also backstage and everyone was chatting casually.
The Math department teacher was already there. He had already handed his thumb drive to the teacher in charge of the projector. “Oh yes. Mr. Wu, after the conference ends today, do you have any plans? When’s your return flight?”
Wu Yue glanced at him. He handed the thumb drive to the teacher in charge before he replied. “The day after. We have free time tomorrow.”
“Just one day’s worth of free time? Did your department have to be so cheap?” The Math department teacher tutted in disdain.
Wu Yue hated this sarcasm. He smiled and said, “What can I say? Our students love studying. We offered them extra time here, but they would rather not take it. Aren’t they silly?”
The Math department teacher went speechless.
He could sense Wu Yue’s mockery and wanted to curse loudly.
Teachers from other schools made small talk with Wu Yue and he chatted with them courteously.
The Math department teacher rolled his eyes inwardly. He checked the time and headed to the bathroom.
When he walked out backstage, someone walked in from outside and ran right into him.
Something fell onto the ground.
The Math department teacher clutched his shoulder in pain. He raised his head but noticed that the culprit did not even apologize. Instead, the person glanced at him coldly, looking like the person was blaming him for walking without looking.
The Math department teacher frowned. He saw a thumb drive on the ground, so he bent over to pick it up and handed it to the person. “You dropped something.”
The person paused to pick it up. Not only did the person not apologize, but the person also did not say thank you either. Instead, the culprit quickly walked off.
The Math department teacher felt infuriated inside.
Who was that? It was so rude!
He rubbed his shoulder and continued heading to the bathroom.
A few minutes later, the Math department teacher came out of the bathroom. He looked around backstage, but could not find the person who walked into him.
The academic conference had begun, so he turned his attention elsewhere.

Meanwhile, on the stage.
After the academic conference commenced, Wen Ping and the others were the first to present.
The light in the hall was very bright. The stage lights were only turned off when the projector was used for the presentation.
