Liu Qian looked at Huo Yao. A long while later, he finally said, “You were the one who corrected the data in the test scenario on the computer the other day!”
This time, he spoke with absolute certainty.
Huo Yao went quiet. “…”
He ended up discovering what she had done.
“You already know how to use the software, right?” asked Liu Qian when Huo Yao did not answer.
Huo Yao cleared her throat. “… Just a little?”
Liu Qian. “Humph.”
He would be an idiot to believe her words.
Huo Yao veered her eyes and did not want to answer his questions, so she continued walking.
Liu Qian just knew it. He asked as he followed behind her. “Did you already know Jiang Mingyue? Did you get into a fight previously?”
Since he was no fool, he could tell that Jiang Mingyue had something against Huo Yao.
Huo Yao shrugged. “We graduated from the same middle school. I happened to see her once just before I graduated. As for conflict…” She paused before she straightened her back. “… She is probably jealous about how outstanding I am.”
Liu Qian’s lips twitched. Huo Yao was not just brilliant, she was also shameless.
“From now on, I suggest avoiding Jiang Mingyue if you can,” said Liu Qian after contemplating briefly.
Huo Yao tilted her head and looked at Liu Qian.
Liu Qian narrowed his eyes and simply said, “Jiang Mingyue is Mr. Qi’s favorite student. Let’s just say he doesn’t have… a good temper.”
Liu Qian remembered Huo Yao opting for the same division as Jiang Mingyue previously. Judging from what Huo Yao had pulled off today, she could rival Jiang Mingyue any day in the field of Biology.
Although Liu Qian did not know why Qi Hui refused to accept her into his division, people were complicated creatures. Jiang Mingyue might just make trouble for Huo Yao out of jealousy.
Huo Yao answered with a nod. “Okay. I don’t have a good temper either.”
The moment Liu Qian heard what she said, he could sense his blood pressure rising again. “I mean it. Other than Jiang Mingyue, it would do you good to avoid Mr. Qi as well.”
Huo Yao nodded casually and did not take it to heart.
Liu Qian could tell Huo Yao did not take him seriously. He sighed inwardly and did not continue with the subject.
Liu Qian raised his hand to check his watch. He recalled Zhao Lian requesting to see him, so he waved to Huo Yao and headed for Zhao Lian’s office.

When Liu Qian got to the office, Prof Zhao was in the middle of a video call, so Liu Qian came out of the office and stood in the corridor to wait.
Liu Qian encountered a teacher from his division who looked a little upset, so Liu Qian stopped to check on him.
“Mr. Qi said someone touched his files, so he threw a huge temper during our meeting today,” answered the teacher and smiled sadly.
Liu Qian glanced at the teacher quickly. “Who would have done it?”
“That’s right. Would anyone dare to touch his things? He probably thinks it’s one of us.” The teacher shook his head.
Liu Qian was accustomed to this treatment. He could only pat the teacher’s shoulder.
After Zhao Lian was done with his call, he invited Liu Qian into his office. Liu Qian stopped chatting with the teacher and went in.
Zhao Lian poured Liu Qian a glass of water and handed it to him before he sat down beside Liu Qian and said, “I just found out that someone took your research funds.”
Liu Qian was stunned. He did not expect Prof Zhao to call him over to discuss this since he knew Prof Zhao was not in charge of funding.
He replied with a shrug. “It’s okay. Mr. Qi said he will return it when he receives funding.”
The moment Zhao Lian heard what Liu Qian said, he went quiet briefly before he answered.. “I think he probably won’t be returning it.”
