1576 I Have A Problem With Rich People
Wen Ping failed to detect the change in Huo Yao’s expression. He smiled as he continued. “Also, Prof Rong mentioned that you stood first in the International Quiz Contest two years ago. Very impressive.”
Huo Yao was speechless.
Wen Ping suddenly brought up the International Quiz Contest. Sure enough, they came prepared.
Li Chenhui chimed in. “It’s such a pity that you’re not attending the conference!”
Huo Yao mocked them inside. They were acting like stage performers.
“Uh huh. Also, the conference is held at Sirin University. It’s a world-renowned university. Don’t you want to check it out?” Wen Ping felt no one could say no to this.
“Is it held at Sirin University?” Something changed about Huo Yao’s expression.
That was quite the coincidence then.
Li Chenhui hurriedly nodded. “That’s right. Didn’t I mention this to you previously?”
Huo Yao looked at him with complicated emotions running through her heart. “No, you didn’t.”
Li Chenhui scratched his head. No wonder he failed to convince her to attend the conference. He did not mention Sirin University!
Nevermind, this was not important anymore.
“Junior Sister, does this mean you’re coming?” said Li Chenhui excitedly.
Huo Yao went quiet briefly and asked him. “How many days will it last?”
“The actual conference goes on for two days, but you probably need an entire week for the trip,” replied Wen Ping.
“That’s not very long then.” Huo Yao tapped her fingers on the table gently as she said, “Let me see if I can take leave from school first.”
“Sure.” Wen Ping nodded. He paused and said, “If you have trouble getting approval, we can get Prof Rong to speak on your behalf. That might help.”
“Uh huh. I’m sure he’ll be happy to help.” Li Chenhui smiled. “He even offered a reward if any of us can convince you to attend the conference.”
Naturally, no one dared to take the reward from Prof Rong.
Huo Yao held her breath promptly. “Why didn’t he ask me directly?”
Li Chenhui and Wen Ping were caught by surprise.
Huo Yao said with a solemn look on her face. “It’s not about the money. I really want to attend the academic conference!”
Li Chenhui and Wen Ping were bewildered.
She certainly did not look like she wanted to attend the academic conference previously.
Huo Yao felt as though she had lost a million dollars. Before long, she raised her head and looked at the dark sky, and let out a long sigh after leaving the library angrily.
She took out her phone and sent her neighbor a text message: [Life is hard.]
Min Yu happened to be holding his phone at the time: [?]
Huo Yao promptly typed angrily: [I hate rich people!]
Min Yu’s lips twitched. He proceeded to tap his fingers on the phone and a WeChat funds transfer notification appeared on his phone.
Huo Yao promptly blinked when she saw the string of numbers on her phone. Before she was able to respond, she received another text message.
Min Yu: [Miss Huo, now I’m poor.]
Huo Yao: […]
Fine! Rich people could have quite a sense of humor.
…
Li Chenhui and Wen Ping went back to the laboratory.
Rong Jun happened to be there getting something. When he heard that Huo Yao had agreed to attend the academic conference, he was surprised. “How did you make her change her mind?”
Li Chenhui thought about the scene earlier and replied. “She changed her mind the moment she found out that it was being held at Sirin University.”
Wen Ping glanced at Li Chenhui as he held a journal in his arms. He glanced at Li Chenhui but did not agree with Li Chenhui.
Huo Yao clearly reacted most strongly when she heard that there was a reward involved.
