Chapter 467: I Made It
Director Chen from the Chemistry Department walked in. When he entered, he sat at the center.
There were two seats in the center. One was for Director Chen, and the other was…
Gu Yunqing craned her neck to look outside and saw Deng He and the person standing outside chatting. She leaned forward and saw that the person outside was Xue Xi.
She could not hear what the two of them were saying, but from their expressions, it seemed that they were having a good chat.
Gu Yunqing’s face darkened.
Xue Xi did not leave after leaving through the back door. Instead, she went to the front door to seduce Professor Deng He? Why was this woman so shameless?!
Gu Yunqing clenched her fists, but it was not appropriate to rush over and say anything right now.
…
At the door.
Deng He: “Missy, I think you should be the one giving the speech today. It’s more appropriate.”
Xue Xi: “Too troublesome.”
Deng He: “…”
Deng He sighed. “Then listen. If I say anything wrong, point it out.”
Xue Xi nodded. “Okay.”
Deng He then extended his hand. “Go in.”
He then turned to look at the stunned Xie Yingying beside Xue Xi and asked, “Missy, is this your cla.s.smate?”
Xue Xi looked at Xie Yingying, only to see her staring at her with her eyes wide open. She seemed to be dumbstruck, so she nodded. “Yes.”
Deng He said, “Mhm. There are still seats in the first row. Let her sit there.”
“Sure.”
Xue Xi walked out in front of everyone.
The moment she entered, the spot behind where she had been chased away instantly let out a series of sighs!
Even the student council member who was in charge of maintaining order was stunned when he saw Xue Xi. He hurriedly rushed to the first row and walked up to Xue Xi and Deng He. He said, “Professor Deng, did she pester you to come in? I’ll chase her away now.”
He turned to look at Xue Xi and lowered his voice. “Student, I know you’re unhappy, but this is a speech conference. It’s not easy for Professor Deng He to come here, so don’t mess it up. Otherwise, I can go to the school to appeal to them and give you a demerit score!”
Xue Xi raised an eyebrow.
That person continued, “Go out obediently now and write a self-reflection essay for the student council. I’ll pretend that nothing happened today.”
Xue Xi did not speak and looked at Deng He.
Deng He’s face darkened. “You want her to leave?”
The student council member did not understand. “Professor Deng, I…”
“She is the most important person today!” After Deng He said that, his eyes turned sharp. “Yet you want her to leave?”
The student council member was instantly filled with question marks.
He stuttered, “I-I-I… I… She’s not leaving. Please sit!”
The student council member moved aside. Xue Xi walked to the first row and sat beside the Chemistry Department’s director without any hesitation.
The head of the Chemistry Department was also a little stunned. He turned to look at Xue Xi and fixed his gaze on her red hair for a few seconds before looking away.
There was no seat beside Xue Xi and she was already seated. Hence, Xie Yingying was arranged to sit at the side. Coincidentally, she sat beside Gu Yunqing.
When she sat down, she was still in a daze.
After sitting down and waiting for Professor Deng He to go on stage, she returned to her senses when he started his self-introduction. She hurriedly sent a message to the three’s group: “Sister Xi, why did Professor Deng He say that you should be the one giving the speech?”
Xue Xi had yet to see this message when Li Zixia, who had been paying attention to the group, saw it immediately. “What happened? Did you guys see Professor Deng He? What did he say? The professor has a good impression of Sister Xi, right?”
Xie Yingying: “Not bad.”
Li Zixia: “?”
Li Zixia: “Then what exactly happened? Could it be that he didn’t have a good impression of Sister Xi? What kind of speech needed Sister Xi to deliver it?”
Li Zixia: “People who do scientific research have strange tempers. Sister Xi, you have to pay attention to your words and actions @Learning.”
Just as Li Zixia was worrying, Xie Yingying’s next sentence was sent to the group chat: “He’s simply too respectful, alright?”
Li Zixia: “? What happened?”
Xie Yingying: “Sister Xi said that Deng He is from her company. Deng He was very respectful to Sister Xi just now. You didn’t see it, but we came here for nothing! Sister Xi is now in the center of the first row!”
Li Zixia: “???”
Li Zixia: “Oh my G.o.d, Sister Xi, what kind of treasure are you? What other secrets are you hiding from us?!”
Li Zixia: “However, Sister Xi, it’s very hard to find a scientific researcher, especially now that Deng He has such an advanced technology. If you want him to be loyal to your family, you have to respect him enough. You can’t really treat yourself as a young mistress. You must be kind! @Learning.”
After sending the message, Li Zixia felt that she was simply worrying for Sister Xi.
Xie Yingying also sent a message: “Yes. Sister Xi, your att.i.tude toward Professor Deng just now was too cold. Aren’t you afraid that the professor will leave? Also, Professor Deng is such a kind person. Not only is he not arrogant, but he is also very respectful to Sister Xi. He said that he wants Sister Xi to give the speech! He even said that if he said anything wrong, Sister Xi can interrupt him.”
Li Zixia: “???”
Li Zixia: “No, Sister Xi, is this how your family treats scientific researchers? It’s the complete opposite of our family. Our family is in the scientific research field. When my father met them, he had to give them face. It’s fine if he just kept addressing them as teachers or professors, but during the festive season, he’d even give them gifts. Researchers are the foundation of a company. Sister Xi, isn’t your company afraid that Deng He will be poached by others? Don’t be like this!”
Xie Yingying: “Yes. I think Gu Yunqing is eyeing Professor Deng He covetously. She definitely has an ulterior motive for coming to this speech. Sister Xi, you have to be careful of him being poached! @Learning.”
At this moment, Xue Xi, who had been crazily tagged by the two of them, finally heard her phone ring. She took out her phone from her pocket and took a look. When she saw the contents of the group chat that the two of them were concerned about, she immediately typed a message:
Learning: “Don’t worry, he won’t be poached.”
Xie Yingying: “? Why?”
Li Zixia: “Sister Xi, is there a penalty fee? Someone like this will be willing to pay a high fee!”
Just as the two of them were discussing, they saw a message.
Learning: “No, because this D-acid was not invented by Deng He. The core researcher is not him.”
Xie Yingying: “?? Then who is it?”
Li Zixia also had a premonition. She typed in the group: “Sister Xi, could it be…”
However, following that, a domineering sentence appeared in the group.
