Gu Yunqing: “?”
She was stunned and felt as though she was in a dream. Her head did not hurt much before, but why did she feel a little dizzy now?
What were these two big shots saying?
She did not speak, but Director Chen shouted, “Old Feng! If you don’t give her to me, I’ll go make a scene. I must make a scene in the school and expel the two students who hit her! Aren’t you afraid?”
Feng Xingshen snorted. “What am I to be afraid of? I’d rather you expel those two students than I give Xue Xi to you!”
Both of them straightened their necks and said the most hateful words. They were as childish as kindergarten students!
However, both of them understood that they were just speaking in anger.
Director Chen and Feng Xingshen knew each other’s character very well. Director Chen was certain that Feng Xingshen would not let innocent students be implicated, so he threatened him.
However, Feng Xingshen was also certain that Director Chen was just joking and would not take it seriously. Huaxia University had been a renowned university for a hundred years, so how could the directors really use their position for personal gain?
Director Chen gulped. “Aren’t you afraid?”
Feng Xingshen also sneered. “If you have the guts, go expel them! Do you dare?”
Before he could finish speaking, Director Chen looked at Gu Yunqing angrily and said, “Tell him who hit you! Tell him that I must expel those two people to show Old Feng!”
“…”
The room fell silent again.
Director Chen could not help but look at Gu Yunqing and glare at her. “Tell me, who is it?”
Gu Yunqing was speechless.
Director Chen could only look at Gu Yunqing’s form teacher. He was also stunned, but he clearly recovered faster than Gu Yunqing. Hence, under the pressure of Director Chen, he gulped and said, “Well, those two freshmen are Xie Yingying and…”
Director Chen panicked. “And who? Why are you wasting time saying a name? Tell me! Tell me their names and I’ll make them scram immediately! Old Feng, let me tell you. If you don’t give Xue Xi to me, I’ll really do this today!”
The form teacher gritted his teeth and said, “Xue Xi.”
“…”
“…”
The entire office suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Director Liu from the Computer Department burst out laughing. “Old Chen, are you still going to expel her?”
Director Chen shut his mouth and became listless.
Director Liu then looked at Feng Xingshen. “And you, Old Feng, are you really not going to protect your own students?”
Feng Xingshen: “…”
Director Chen coughed and went straight to the point. “Old Feng, do you know that the D-acid pursued by the chemistry world was actually invented by Xue Xi? Her talent in chemistry is simply amazing! Let me tell you, if you give her to me, I guarantee that in less than five years, our Huaxia University will be able to produce a heavyweight Chemist!”
Feng Xingshen waved his hand. “Don’t talk to me about this. Let me tell you, you know about Bartra’s conjecture in the mathematics world, right? It was proven by Sister Xi! You’re talking less than five years, but she can already be called a proper mathematician now! I won’t let her be transferred!”
How could he give away the treasure he had snatched from Huazhong University?
Director Chen could not help but cough again. “No, Old Feng, what’s the point of her studying mathematics? Mathematics is the foundation and the tool. You’re holding back Xue Xi! If you’re doing this for her own good, then let her come to the Chemistry Department!”
Feng Xingshen: “?”
He was furious. “How can there be chemistry without mathematics?! I don’t like what you’re saying! So what if it’s a tool? Without us, can your chemistry develop? Let me tell you, the mathematics department of our Huaxia University has always been inferior to that of Huazhong University, but Xue Xi is the hope of our Huaxia University and the hope of the entire mathematics world! Her future achievements will definitely be above ours!”
Director Chen was unmoved. “The neurologic drug that she has developed now is already a top-notch technology in the chemistry world. Let her come over. Our Huaxia University’s Chemistry Department will be number one!”
Feng Xingshen: “In your dreams! Impossible!”
Director Chen: “If you don’t agree, I’ll go look for the principal!”
Feng Xingshen: “It’s useless even if you look for the mayor! I definitely won’t let her go!”
“Why are you such a dog?”
“You’re the dog. Who are you calling names?”
“…”
“…”
The two directors started cursing each other like children.
Director Liu of the Computer Department, who was standing beside them, could not help but shake his head. “What are you guys doing? Isn’t she just a student? Look, I’m not that vexed!”
Fortunately, Xue Xi was not a hacker.
He would not be like Director Chen and Director Feng!
In the end, Director Chen walked out of Feng Xingshen’s office angrily. He turned around and realized that Gu Yunqing and the form teacher were still following him. However, the two of them were in a daze and could not speak.
Director Chen paused and looked at Gu Yunqing. “I remember that you’re going to be my graduate student, right?”
Gu Yunqing continued nodding.
Could it be that the director intended to give her a spot as a graduate student as compensation?
Just as she thought this, she heard Director Chen say, “Then don’t take the examination. I won’t accept you.”
Gu Yunqing: “?”
Director Chen sighed. “You and Xue Xi don’t get along. If I were to accept you, Xue Xi would definitely not be my graduate student.”
Gu Yunqing: “?”
Gu Yunqing’s form teacher could not stand it anymore and said pitifully, “But Director Chen, Xue Xi might not necessarily become your graduate student!”
Director Chen seemed to have been exposed. He glared at him. “What if? What if she wants to study chemistry?!”
The form teacher: “…”
Director Chen walked away angrily. The form teacher could only sigh and pat Gu Yunqing’s shoulder. “Apply powder on your face and cover it up. If you can do a good job of bringing Lin Jing here, Director Chen will definitely think highly of you.”
Gu Yunqing stood on the spot and clenched her fists.
Yes, she still had Lin Jing!
That d*mn Xue Xi could not possibly settle even Lin Jing!
…
…
“Achoo!”
At this moment, because she had not eaten breakfast, Xue Xi, who was famished, was shopping in the supermarket with Xie Yingying. She took two sandwiches and queued up to settle the bill.
On the way, she saw Xiang Huai’s WeChat message: “I’m coming to your school. I’ll take you to a good place.”
Xue Xi replied: “Do you want to play with balloons?”
Xiang Huai: “…Where are you?”
Learning: “Supermarket.”
Xiang Huai: “I’ll go fetch you.”
What does this ellipsis mean?
Xue Xi pouted and shook her head.
She put down her phone and went to settle the bill with Xie Yingying. Suddenly, she saw the place where the bill was being paid. There were actually balloons on the shelves.
She paused and suddenly recalled that the ones in Bin City were from a year ago. It must have expired, right?
Then, should I buy some new ones?
Hence, she reached out and calmly took a box.
Xie Yingying, who had witnessed everything from the side: “?”
Her face turned red as she stuttered, “M-Master Xi, w-what are you buying this for?”
Xue Xi shot her a glance. “To play with Xiang Huai.”
Xie Yingying: “…”
Her face turned even redder as though she was the one who needed this. She shot a glance at Xue Xi and could not help but whisper, “Sister Xi, do you really know what this is?”
