Liu Qian waved his hand. “It’s fine. Good luck.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he left the laboratory with Huo Yao.
Jiang Mingyue watched from behind as they left. She inhaled deeply before veering her eyes and looking at her team members mildly and said, “From the looks of it, we can’t continue conducting the experiment today.”
“I guess so. Let’s continue tomorrow,” said one of the team members.
Jiang Mingyue nodded before lowering her head to organize documents on the table.
After straightening out the documents, she pulled out a chair and sat down to continue working on the research.
Her other team member had already turned off the equipment. He asked in surprise when he noticed what she was doing. “Mingyue, are you planning to continue working on the experiment?”
Jiang Mingyue acknowledged gently. She paused before she said softly, “The thesis is almost due for submission. How could we let someone who treats the experiment frivolously put our efforts to waste?”
One of the members automatically thought about the student whom Mr. Liu had brought over to observe the experiment. If she did not interrupt and left halfway, Mr. Liu would not have left either.
Moreover, experiments typically took hours of work. If the girl was not free, why did she come in the first place?
The other team members instantly felt irritated thinking about this. They looked at each other before they stopped talking about leaving. Instead, they pulled up chairs and sat down with Jiang Mingyue.
“Since it is early and we have nothing to do, let’s continue discussing our thesis,” said someone.
All of them were working hard for their futures. Moreover, if their experiment succeeded, it would be great for their resume.
It made sense when Jiang Mingyue said they shouldn’t let someone hold them up just because she was unprofessional.

Meanwhile, Liu Qian was talking to Huo Yao in the lift.
“The work of a data analyst tends to be dry and repetitive. Sometimes, a lot of time is needed to do it. You might not always succeed the first time, so you might need to do it two or three times more. Sometimes, you might have to do it countless times.”
Huo Yao quietly listened. Moments later, she simply had to express her opinion. “Mr. Liu, the main reason for this is lack of talent.”
Liu Qian was trying to encourage Huo Yao, but listening to her words, he went speechless.
He could not bring himself to go on.
Meanwhile, the lift chimed when they reached the ground floor.
Qi Hui was waiting outside the lift and was about to enter when he froze at the sight of Liu Qian and Huo Yao.
The moment he saw Qi Hui, Liu Qian was reminded of the things that happened a couple of days ago. Despite his fury, he took the initiative to greet him. “Hi, Mr. Qi.”
Qi Hui acknowledged softly. Since Jiang Mingyue was conducting the experiment today, he asked casually. “How did the experiment go?”
Liu Qian walked out of the lift and answered. “It was bad.”
The moment Qi Hui heard what he said, he was startled. “Bad?”
Liu Qian nodded with his eyes narrowed. He turned to Huo Yao. “Didn’t you have somewhere to go? You can go ahead.”
Huo Yao nodded and acknowledged him before she quickly left.
Qi Hui narrowed his eyes. She was such a rude student. After veering his eyes, he did not enter the lift right away. A thought crossed his mind and he asked. “A couple of days ago, you said you wanted to bring a student along with you for the experiment. Don’t tell me it was this freshman?”
It was ridiculous to bring a completely oblivious freshman to observe the experiment.
