Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 643: A Slap in the Face!

Li Xuekai was stunned. It was late at night, but the laboratory was bustling.

After the theory was completed, everyone’s mood had been very low because everyone knew that the light source machine itself could not be completed.

If they were this happy now, could it be...

He suddenly lifted his head and looked at the laboratory in disbelief. He quickened his pace until he was running.

Just as he reached the entrance, he saw that the people who had not left the laboratory were all hugging each other. Some were crying tears of joy while others were hugging each other. They were so touched that they were stomping their feet like children.

Only Xue Xi stood by the side. She seemed to have been certain since long ago that the light source machine would be a success, so she was not excited at this moment. However, there was a hint of gentleness on her cold face and she was no longer looking at everything indifferently.

As though she had heard his footsteps, Xue Xi turned around. The moment she saw Li Xuekai, she raised an eyebrow.

Li Xuekai was stunned.

He said in disbelief, “Success?”

Xue Xi’s reaction was slow. Those two seconds of hesitation were enough to make Li Xuekai’s heart stop beating. She nodded. “...Mhm.”

Li Xuekai: “...”

He looked at the laboratory again and rushed over. He had always been a composed person, but now, he was as happy as a child!

The laboratory was filled with cheers. Xue Xi slowly took two steps back.

Just as she reached the door, she turned around and saw a tall figure standing there. He was leaning against the wall and staring at the laboratory with a resolute gaze. This person was none other than He Gao.

Xue Xi raised an eyebrow.

He Gao had a lollipop in his mouth. When he saw her raise an eyebrow, he raised an eyebrow and silently turned around to leave the laboratory.

After he left, Xue Xi picked up her phone.

Even though she knew that this experiment would succeed, this was the first time she had worked with so many people to do a project. It was the first time she was in charge of the fates of so many people.

She knew that many people had experienced all kinds of pressure. For example, Li Xuekai had even fallen out with his family over this project.

However, this was only what she knew. She knew that there were more people who were under pressure in places she did not know.

Now, she had finally handed over a satisfactory answer sheet.

Hence, although she looked indifferent now, the joy in her heart was overflowing from her eyes. She wanted to find someone to share this joy with.

Hence, she picked up her phone and sent Xiang Huai a WeChat message: “Success.”

Xiang Huai, who usually replied instantly, ignored her.

Xue Xi: “?”

She could only open Omnipotent Boss’s WeChat and report: “Teacher, thank you for sending your people over. Success!”

Omnipotent Boss replied instantly: “Congratulations.”

Xue Xi: “...”

So, Xiang Huai, where did you go?

Just as she was thinking this, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind her and grabbed her from under her arms. It was as though he was carrying a child as he lifted her up.

Xue Xi instinctively wanted to resist, but before her fist could touch him, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She immediately understood that this was Xiang Huai!

Xue Xi called out softly. She was still hugging her book when Xiang Huai picked her up.

Xiang Huai chuckled. “Little kid.”

He hugged Xue Xi, who struggled to get down. Once her feet were on the ground, she could not wait to say, “Xiang Huai, I succeeded in my research!”

Xiang Huai lowered his head to look at her. The mist in the girl’s eyes had already dispersed. Her eyes were black and bright, and her red hair fluttered in the night wind. She was exuding a strange glow.

Her voice was filled with pride and happiness.

Xiang Huai smiled. “Mhm. Little kid is amazing.”

Xue Xi suddenly blinked and extended her hand. “So, do you have a reward for me?”

Xiang Huai: “?”

Xue Xi was just teasing him and knew that he was definitely not prepared. Hence, she said coquettishly, “You said before that you would reward me if the project is successful. You didn’t even prepare anything. Do you not trust me at all?”

Her words were completely coquettish and her tone was a little soft.

Xiang Huai’s dark brown eyes darkened.

He looked to the side and suddenly pressed Xue Xi’s shoulders. He brought her up against the wall and said from above, “Of course I have a reward for you. It’s this.”

He lowered his head.

The man’s body was filled with his uniquely cold aura. The moment he lowered his head, Xue Xi felt that her mouth was completely occupied by his hormones!

She could only hum and swallow the rest of her words.

Xue Xi: “...”

The man’s kiss seemed to have been infected by her excitement. It was overbearing and domineering. As they tangled against each other, someone seemed to have heard the commotion in the laboratory and walked over.

Xue Xi’s hearing had always been good. When she heard the sound, she wanted to push the man away. “Someone... Mhm!”

Just as she said this, her lips and tongue were pressed down again and she could not move.

Just as Xue Xi was feeling anxious, Xiang Huai suddenly grabbed her arm and the two of them entered the corridor beside them.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Footsteps were heard coming from next door. It was Xie Yingying and Li Zixia. The two of them were discussing. “The project has really been completed. Oh my god, I’ve witnessed a scientific miracle!”

Xie Yingying also nodded. “I poured tea for this project. I’m proud!”

Li Zixia: “I’m also proud that I wiped the floor for this project! Ah ah ah! Where’s Sister Xi?”

Xue Xi, who was being searched for by everyone, was currently being pressed down by the man in the corridor to do something that was unsuitable for children. The cheers outside seemed to be blocked by the door.

Behind her was the cold wall and in front of her was the man’s burning chest.

The cold moonlight shone in and the girl’s soft cries were swallowed by the man. That night, Xue Xi finally understood what it meant for one to be like a wolf and a tiger.

However, when the two of them finally separated while panting, Xiang Huai realized that even though the little kid was dazed from his kiss and her mind was filled with confusion, her hand was still holding onto her book and did not let go...

...

...

The next morning, Li Xuelei and Liu Xiu entered their laboratory.

Just as they entered, they saw that everyone in their laboratory was listening to the sounds from next door.

The people who’d stayed in the laboratory last night knew that they had achieved success, but there were still some people who did not know. For example, Fan Han was informed of this news after he came over today, so the exclamations did not stop.

Everyone had always been curious about what was happening next door.

Li Xuelei was also very confused. He brought Liu Xiu to the side.

Liu Xiu hesitated. “They sound very happy. What could be the matter?”

Li Xuelei: “Who cares? Anyway, it’s impossible for the light source machine to be made. What’s the use of them being happy about anything else?”

As he said this, he saw Li Man standing there. When he saw the two of them, he smiled. “Yo, did you guys hear the news and come to apologize?”

He stood up and pointed at himself. “Come on, grandson. Call me grandpa!”

...

At the same time, Grandpa Li and Mr. Li, who had returned home overnight, were also urgently calling for a board meeting.

“What did you say?”

Grandpa Li stared at the procurement manager in disbelief.

The manager sighed. “Their orders have increased greatly recently. They will definitely have to accept orders from their own country before giving them to us. Moreover, they have a limited number of orders meant for China every year. Sigh!”

Grandpa Li frowned. “Is there no other way?”

The manager said, “Yes, increase the payment! A dollar per chip needs to be added!”

Grandpa Li was furious. “What huge order increase? I think they’re just being greedy for money! This is too much!”

The manager sighed. “But we don’t have any other choice. Our company is mainly in the phone business. If we don’t have that chip, what should we do next? The top chip producers in the country can only support up to 14 nanometers right now. That foreign company has already achieved six nanometers! The difference is too huge!”

Someone beside him said indignantly, “This is spurred by malicious competition. They want their phones to dominate the Chinese market! How detestable! What should we do now?”

The purchasing manager sighed. “Why doesn’t China have a light source machine? If we had one too, who would be willing to look at their cold faces?! Every year, they force everyone and their grandmothers to buy things. Sigh!”

After hearing this, Mr. Li said, “After Xiao Lei’s project is done, can’t he put it into practice?”

The manager of the procurement department nodded. “Well, he’s certainly come up with a theoretical plan and model for the phone chip. However, there is no factory to produce it at all. What else can we do?”

Mr. Li frowned. “I don’t care. Xiao Lei’s model must be listed!”

This was Li Xuelei’s achievement. Only by getting listed could he have a place in the Li family’s company!

Just as he said this, the procurement manager beside him received a call.

After listening to the phone, his eyes lit up and he immediately nodded. “Okay, okay. I’ll tell the chairman now!”

After hanging up, the procurement manager immediately turned to look at Grandpa Li. “Chairman, we’re saved! China has developed a four-nanometer light source machine!”

Grandpa Li paused and stood up. “Really?”

The procurement manager nodded. “Yes, it’s true! It’s just that it has just been developed and there’s only one machine currently. There aren’t many businesses that can be catered to. Many people have already placed orders. If we want to cut the queue, we’ll probably have to pull some strings.”

Mr. Li immediately said, “Yes! I’ll go look!”

Even if he had to give a gift or accompany them to a drink, he would still approach that person in order to have Li Xuelei enter the company!

After saying that, Mr. Li asked, “Who developed it successfully?”

At this moment, he did not think about Li Xuekai’s project at all. This was because there were many organizations in China that studied the light source machine. Many research facilities were also researching it.

Unexpectedly, the procurement manager smiled. “There’s no need to look for anyone. We have a contact already!”

Mr. Li hesitated. “Who?”

For some unknown reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Indeed, the next moment, he heard—
