Before they could speak, Li Xuelei continued, “Forget about the laboratory matters. However, things like hitting people have nothing to do with the size of the project, right? Or do you think you can bully people who do small projects just because you’re doing big projects? Does Huaxia University have such rules?”
The moment he said this, the big shots present fell silent.
Li Xuelei’s family was rich. He was a member of the Li family and his father was in business. Meanwhile, Huaxia University could not have the reputation of their students casually fighting.
Xue Xi fixed her gaze on Li Xuelei. “What do you intend to do?”
Li Xuelei smiled. “Whoever did it will stand up and apologize. It’s not like apologizing will cause you to lose a piece of flesh, right? If you want to fight, solve the problem peacefully. Then, do what you have to do.”
His words seemed to be magnanimous, and no one could refute them.
Zheng Zhi frowned and was unwilling.
Ask him to apologize to a stupid ordinary person? No way!
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Li Man walking forward. “Sister Xi, I was the one who caused this. Let me apologize.”
Zheng Zhi stood at the back and was stunned. Seeing Li Man’s ingratiating and grateful smile, he pouted.
He helped this person because he could not stand it. It was not because of anything else.
At this moment, he would not admit that he was touched.
Li Man felt that saying sorry was indeed fine and could quickly settle this matter. Hence, he decided to admit his mistake. However, before he could speak, he heard Xue Xi say indifferently, “It’s indeed wrong to resort to violence. So then, shouldn’t he apologize for scattering our things on the ground?”
Li Xuelei and Liu Xiu: “?”
Xue Xi said calmly, “If you barge into someone else’s territory without their permission, don’t blame them for retaliating. It’s impossible for us to apologize. If you’re not fine with that, shall we fight again?”
After saying that, she even rolled up her sleeves.
Xue Xi was definitely not trying to scare others. She was sincerely trying to solve the problem. In her opinion, saying anything was not as direct as doing it. She looked at Li Xuelei. “I’m willing to admit defeat.”
Li Xuelei: “…”
The corners of his lips twitched as he suddenly said, “There’s no need to fight, but we can make a bet!”
“Oh,” Xue Xi replied. She then retracted her fist in disappointment and asked, “What bet?”
Li Xuelei: “Let’s compete on who finishes first. Whoever loses will apologize for today’s matter. How about it?”
Li Man, Li Xuekai, and Yu Da widened their eyes and stopped her. “No!”
Li Xuelei raised his eyebrows. “Aiyo, you guys don’t even dare to accept such a bet? I thought you guys were really the most elite talents in Huaxia and Huazhong University!”
Li Man scolded angrily, “Li Xuelei, you’re shameless! Our project is so difficult. Your small project can be completed in two months if you worked overtime. You have the cheek to compete with us?”
Li Xuekai also said, “How did the Li family produce someone like you?”
Yu Da was even more furious. “Isn’t it too obvious that you’re taking advantage of us? Do you think we’re idiots? How can we…”
Before he could finish that sentence, he heard Xue Xi say calmly, “…Alright.”
As soon as he heard that, the sentence became: “…How can we not agree? This is such a difficult matter, so we must definitely take the challenge!”
Sister Xi must not be made a fool.
However—
The three of them turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi?”
How could the project be completed in two months?!
Li Xuelei sneered. “Fine, Xue Xi. You have guts! Let’s meet next time! I’ll wait for you to apologize!”
Xue Xi’s expression was calm. Only He Gao, who was hiding in the crowd, realized that the mist in Sister Xi’s eyes was not as thick as when they were in Bin City.
It was as though she had gained more friends and feelings after entering university and had become more humane.
After Li Xuelei left the laboratory with his men, Xue Xi was just about to say something when Feng Xingshen suddenly said, “Old Wang, why are you here?”
Director Wang: “Sister Xi called me over to help solve the laboratory’s problem.”
The moment he said this, Feng Xingshen turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, why didn’t you look for me immediately when you encountered trouble?”
She actually went to look for Old Wang!
Sister Xi, you’ve changed. You’re no longer the Sister Xi I know! I’ve fallen out of favor!
Feng Xingshen’s facial expression was as dynamic as his psychological state.
Director Wang said smugly, “Damn, this means that in Sister Xi’s heart, I’m the first. Right, Sister Xi?”
The rest of the people in the laboratory: “?”
Feng Xingshen immediately turned to look at Xue Xi.
Xue Xi: “…”
Cough.
Xue Xi stiffly changed the topic. “Teacher, why are you here?”
Director Wang: “To help you out!”
Feng Xingshen: “To look for you!”
After saying this, they turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, which teacher are you calling?”
Xue Xi: “?”
She looked at Director Wang with a slight headache and said, “Mr. Wang, thank you. The matter has been resolved and everything is now fine. Is there anything else?”
Director Wang: “?”
Why did she look so heartless?
The corners of Director Wang’s lips twitched. Knowing that they still had something on, he left first. After he left, Xue Xi looked at Feng Xingshen. “Teacher, let’s go to the office first.”
Feng Xingshen snorted and followed Xue Xi to her office.
…
On the other side, Li Xuelei and Liu Xiu craned their necks to look at Xue Xi’s situation.
Liu Xiu said, “Xue Xi looks pretty smart, so I didn’t expect her to fall for your provocation. She even dared to gamble like this. What a joke!”
Li Xuelei also smiled. “I’m just waiting for my good brother to fall. You guys have to work harder. Let me tell you, from today onwards, you have to work overtime, understand?”
Liu Xiu nodded. “No problem! Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to finish it in one and a half months. Just wait for Xue Xi and Li Xuekai to kneel and beg for mercy, haha!”
Li Xuelei raised his eyebrows.
If he could finish his project before Li Xuekai, he would have a firm foothold in the Li family!
The Li family was still managed by the old patriarch. The old patriarch liked Li Xuekai. After all, he was the legitimate son, so he had never accepted Li Xuelei. This chance was something his father had fought hard for him. He had to grab it. If he could beat Li Xuekai to the ground, he could become the next head of the Li family!
Just as he thought this, he suddenly heard a series of exclamations coming from next door!
He frowned and asked in confusion, “What happened?”
Why did it sound like there was a surprise?
Liu Xiu was also extremely puzzled. “Shall we go take a look?”
