1600 Pure Speculation
*
“Master Jinfeng, are you done already?”
His subordinate had returned to the lobby only a couple of minutes ago. When he saw his boss at the lift door, he thought he was hallucinating.
Huo Jinfeng glanced at him. “We’re going back.”
The subordinate looked at him quizzically. “What happened?”
Huo Jinfeng acknowledged him and said coldly, “Don’t tell anyone about my visit here.”
The subordinate was stunned the moment he heard what he said. As he followed behind his boss, he asked softly. “W-Why not?”
Huo Jinfeng did not offer an explanation. He simply walked out through the revolving door and added coldly. “Especially to Changfeng.”
The subordinate promptly imagined that Master Jinfeng must have given Miss Huo a scare up there.
Perhaps this was the reason Master Jinfeng came downstairs in less than five minutes.
As he pondered, he glanced at his boss’s hand.
Sure enough, he had yet to give her the gift!
The subordinate touched his nose as he trembled slightly. After snapping out of his thoughts, he took out his phone from his pocket hurriedly.
He was dead meat. He had just texted the group chat telling everyone Master Jinfeng was visiting Miss Huo!
He wondered if it was too late to delete the message.
Sadly, it was probably impossible to retract the text message since over two minutes had passed.
That was not the worst part. The chief steward rarely said anything inside the group chat, but he had unexpectedly responded!
The subordinate was very worried now.
A second ago, Master Jinfeng had warned him about telling the chief steward about this. A second later, the chief steward responded to the group chat. He had certainly dug a grave for himself at rocket speed.
He rubbed his brow miserably. He felt there was no way to save himself at this stage!
As he pondered, he swiped on the phone and quickly left the group chat.
If he refused to admit it, no one could know he had sent the text message.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Wu Yue and the people from the Math department discussed the matter for over two hours before the discussion ended at midday.
The moment it was over, Huo Yao stood up from the couch to leave.
Wu Yue called her back. “We will meet at the hotel entrance at 2:00 pm to go to Sirin University. Don’t be late.”
Huo Yao nodded. She gestured okay to Wu Yue and headed for the door.
When the door closed, someone finally broke the silence in the room.
“Did Prof Rong send the girl just to gain some experience?” The Math department teacher was always a blunt person.
The girl looked distracted and at a loss during the discussion earlier, so the teacher could not resist asking about her.
Wu Yue was annoyed to hear this. “Does she look like she needs it? She was the top scholar during the college entrance exam. Also, she was the champion…”
However, Wu Yue shut his mouth mid-sentence. The Math department teacher was a narrow-minded man. The more Wu Yue tried to explain anything, the more the Math department teacher would think he was making excuses.
“I suggest you watch your words and stop making blind speculations about her. This isn’t good for you or our students,” said Wu Yue with a stern look on his face.
The Math teacher promptly looked embarrassed. He said nothing and simply gathered his students and left.
Wu Yue might have made it sound as though he was being professional, but everyone saw how the girl performed during the discussion. Wu Yue should really know better.
