Chapter 1516: Senior Brother
Zhuo Yun was waiting downstairs. When he saw the plans in his boss’s hand, he knew that President Xue must have asked Min Yu to help with some other project again.
Zhuo Yun cleared his throat and did not dare to make any comments. Instead, he quickly opened the rear car door.
After getting into the car, they left the National Research Institute of Science. Zhuo Yun asked his boss. “Where are we going now?”
Min Yu had already tossed the plan to the side of the rear seat. He sat rapping his fingers softly on his knee without answering Zhuo Yun immediately. Instead, he took out his phone and called Huo Yao first.
After ringing a few times, someone finally answered the phone.
Min Yu could hear rock music through the phone and she was clearly in a noisy environment. He could not help asking. “Are you out somewhere?”
“Uh huh. It’s a little noisy here. Shall I call you later?” Huo Yao tilted her body sideways and lowered her voice as she spoke.
“Okay then,” acknowledged Min Yu. Before he hung up the phone, he asked. “Are you alone?”
“Nope.” Huo Yao glanced at the man beside her. “I’m with my senior.”
Was she with her senior?
Min Yun narrowed his eyes and replied. “Fine. Come back soon.”
Huo Yao acknowledged him and quickly hung up the phone.
Min Yu felt annoyed.
Zhuo Yun could suddenly sense the air in the car grow cold and trembled involuntarily. He could sense a murderous aura in the car, so he raised his head to check the rearview mirror.
Even though the boss looked completely normal, Zhuo Yun knew his boss well enough and something was amiss.
He did not dare to probe. He certainly could not bear the consequences of pissing off his boss ever again.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yao turned to look at the actors performing on the stage.
“Are you busy?” asked Li Chenhui as he turned his head. “If you have somewhere to go, we can leave anytime.”
Huo Yao veered her eyes and smiled as she shook her head at Li Chenhui. “Nope. I’m good.”
Li Chenhui nodded. Since Huo Yao seemed disinterested in theater, he got up graciously. “This play isn’t that great. Why don’t I buy you dinner?”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Sure.”
Before long, they walked out of the theater. There was a restaurant nearby and roughly a few minutes’ drive away from their current location.
Huo Yao glanced at the restaurant signboard before entering the premises.
It was quite the coincidence.
“This is a good restaurant. It’s as good as a Michelin restaurant.” Li Chenhui had already booked a table in advance. He spoke as he showed her into the restaurant.
Huo Yao nodded obediently.
After they sat down at a booth near the window, they placed their orders. Li Chenhui raised his head and looked at Huo Yao and said, “I could not help noticing something. Why haven’t I ever encountered you in the Physics department before?”
His little junior sister was a stunning beauty. Since the Physics department consisted mostly of guys, she would probably be famous for her good looks among the freshmen.
Huo Yao held the cup of tea as she contemplated. Since he had sent her a red packet for the Chinese New Year, she decided to be nice and spoke candidly. “I don’t major in Physics.”
A look of surprise emerged on Li Chenhui’s face. “Aren’t you a Physics major?”
Huo Yao nodded. “I am majoring in Biology.”
Li Chenhui felt even more stunned by the news.
He had asked Prof Rong about Huo Yao previously, but the professor refused to tell him anything.
From the looks of it, this must be why Prof Rong refused to tell him more about her.
