Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 595: One After Another

Everyone turned around and saw Director Liu, Director Feng, and Director Chen walking over.

Huaxia University was one of the top universities in China. The three directors were already at the top of their respective fields. Usually, it was impossible for Xie Yingying and Li Zixia to meet one of them, let alone three at once.

At this moment, three such awesome figures walked over. They felt as though they were walking with the wind!

When Yu Da saw the three of them, he was still in a daze. However, after the previous incident, he was still relatively calm. When he turned around and saw Xie Yingying and Li Zixia’s ignorant looks, he instantly snorted arrogantly.

This person was afraid of comparisons.

Looking at the two of them, he instantly felt that his quail-like attitude as he stood in the office that day when they were quarreling was much better!

Only Xue Xi calmly stood up and looked at the three of them. “Teachers... Why are you guys here?”

Before the other two could speak, Director Liu said, “It’s your first day of the project. We came to take a look because we’re concerned about you!”

Feng Xingshen and Director Chen: “...”

Old Liu, can you not bootlick like this?!

After saying that, Director Liu looked behind Xue Xi. Seeing that there was no one in the empty laboratory, he asked in confusion, “What time do the others arrive? Are we early?”

“...”

Xue Xi paused and replied calmly, “No. I can’t recruit anyone.”

Old Liu: “...”

He smiled awkwardly. “Then... it’s fine. You guys can study this first.”

Feng Xingshen and Director Chen could not help but comfort her. “Yes, don’t be anxious. You can slowly find people. Moreover, it’s a little awkward at this time. Most capable people already have projects. It’s normal that you can’t recruit anyone here.”

After saying that, Director Chen coughed again and reminded her, “Moreover, this project of yours might take a longer time, so it’d be even more surprising if you can recruit anyone.”

Seeing that Old Chen and Old Liu were fooling Xue Xi like this, Feng Xingshen could not take it anymore. He took a deep breath and decided to speak the truth. “Sister Xi, let’s forget it before the project starts! Old Liu and I have many good projects in our hands that we can let you participate in.”

Xue Xi knew that Feng Xingshen meant well, but she still shook her head and rejected him. “No need.”

Feng Xingshen looked at the empty room and the four people standing at the door like children. He felt terrible.

Hence, the three directors and four people sat at the door again and looked at the corridor, waiting for someone to come.

At 10:30 AM, there was still no one.

Feng Xingshen was just about to comfort her when he suddenly heard footsteps. He immediately changed his words. “Look, someone is here!”

The group turned around and saw a serious-looking person walking over. When Yu Da saw him, his eyes narrowed and he instinctively tensed up.

Xue Xi frowned and asked, “Little Square, why are you here?”

Zheng Zhi did not dare to mock her and could only say, “Boss asked me to help you. I can help you set the rules and punishments for the laboratory, but...”

He swept his gaze across the four of them and slowly said, “It seems like you don’t need it too much? After all, there are too few people. There are only four of them, so there’s no need to set any rules, right?”

Many people were needed from the research to the post-production stages of a light source machine.

Xue Xi did not have any experience in managing such an operation. This was also why Xiang Huai had sent him over.

Although Zheng Zhi hated Xue Xi, Xiang Huai understood him.

This person was too compliant with the rules. Since he had agreed, he would definitely do it well. Moreover, the rules he set were very perfect and there were no loopholes.

Zheng Zhi’s obvious mockery made Xie Yingying furious. “What do you mean?”

Zheng Zhi sneered. “Do you not understand what I’m saying?”

Xie Yingying: “...”

Li Zixia could not help but ask, “Are you an ally or an enemy?”

Zheng Zhi snorted and looked at Xue Xi. “Hey, I don’t think you need my help. I’ll go back first!”

After saying that, he suddenly recalled that he was here to help Xue Xi. Hence, he added, “Is that alright?”

Everyone: “...”

So what exactly was this person here for?

Xue Xi stared at him.

He said that his boss had asked him to come, which meant that was the Omnipotent Boss’s orders.

Since the teacher said so, there must be a reason.

Xue Xi paused and said, “No.”

Zheng Zhi: “?”

He was furious. “What can you even do? If you don’t do your project well, you won’t even be able to call on anyone. Now that no one has come, what right do you have to say that I can’t go?”

Xue Xi: “...Someone will come.”

Zheng Zhi was so angry that he laughed. “If you guys just sit here and wait, will there be any idiots who will take the bait? Unless their brains have gone haywire, they will not come to do this impossible research and development with you!”

Xue Xi paused and slowly said, “Why are you insulting yourself?”

Zheng Zhi: “?”

Only then did he realize that he was the fool who took the bait!

The corners of Zheng Zhi’s lips twitched. “I was forced. Let me tell you, foreign countries spent a long time to develop it together. How can a university laboratory like yours possibly develop a light source machine? This is a complete waste of time and energy. It’s even more of a waste of manpower! Oh, that’s not right. You don’t even have a single staff. There’s nothing to waste!”

After saying this, Zheng Zhi revealed a mocking expression.

At this moment, Yu Da suddenly shouted, “Someone is here!”

Someone is here?

Everyone turned their heads in unison and saw Li Xuekai wearing a white shirt and carrying his bag. He ran up the stairs.

Xie Yingying exclaimed, “Isn’t that Li Xuekai? The one from the Math Department. Like Sister Xi, he’s also a genius!”

Li Zixia was stunned. “Xuekai is the school hunk of our batch. Is he here to sign up?”

After the two of them said that, Zheng Zhi pouted and said, “What wild imagination. That’s true. You’re too short of people. If he’s really a curve wrecker, why would he come looking for you unless his brain is flooded with water?”

As soon as he said this, he saw Li Xuekai looking around. When he saw them, he ran over while panting. He stood firmly, and while his breathing was still unstable, he anxiously said, “Xue Xi, is it too late for me to register now?”

Everyone: “?”

Xie Yingying reacted faster and hurriedly said, “Brainiac Li, it’s not late! Not late!”

Li Xuekai heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

Zheng Zhi: “?”

He was indignant. “This... He clearly came because he has a good relationship with Xue Xi. So what if he’s here?”

Just as he said this, he heard footsteps again.
