Mr. An said to Zi Yi, “Student Zi has made great contributions this time and I will certainly report this matter to my superiors.”
Mr. Zheng also said, “Little Zi, what reward do you want? We can report it to the higher-ups.”
Zi Yi shook her head. “I don’t need any rewards.” She then tured to make eye contact with Lu Jingye. “When Ah Jing and I hold our wedding reception, you are all welcomed to join us.”
Traces of a smile flashed past Lu Jingye’s eyes.
The three leaders were momentarily surprised at her words before they revealed a smile.
Mr. Qin was the first to show his stance. “Little Zi and Little Lu have done us a great favor this time and I will certainly come to your wedding reception.”
Mr. Zheng and Mr. An had also followed suit and expressed that they will be attending.
Zi Yi was satisfied with their response and she remained standing next to Lu Jingye, allowing him to discuss other matters with them.
Just then, the chemistry professors came towards her.
Professor Zhang asked, “Student Zi, I believe you are a student majoring in chemistry at M.Uni?”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “Sort of.”
She had chosen to learn some modules offered by that major.
When Professor Zhang heard her reply, he was thinking about what she meant by sort of.
However, he did not pry further and said, “You are very gifted in chemistry. You should continue studying hard when you go back. When you graduate in the future, I hope that you’ll come to our research lab to work.”
Before Zi Yi had the chance to speak, a few mechanical engineers walked over to where they were and answered on her behalf. “Student Zi most likely doesn’t have time to visit your laboratory.”
Professor Zhang furrowed his brows. “Why doesn’t she have time? Since she’s a student majoring in chemistry, it’s her best choice to work in a research lab.”
Engineer Tang spoke with an air of superiority. “Little Zi is a researcher in our robot R&D center and she will definitely be coming over to our place in the future. Where would she have time for your research lab?”
“Heh! I find that strange. Student Zi is clearly majoring in chemistry and so why would she head to your robotics R&D center?” Professor Zhang felt that Engineer Tang was competing with him for Zi Yi’s talent.
Engineer Tang smiled. “You might not be aware of it, but Little Zi is not only a student of the School of Science and Technology, but she’s also a student of the School of Mechanical Engineering, the School of Information Technology, the School of Liberal Arts…”
“What?”
The professors looked at her in surprise.
“Why is Student Zi studying so many majors?”
“You’re taking so many majors all at once, are you able to allocate your schedule properly?”
“Student Zi, nothing can be accomplished in one single effort and the essence of learning new things is not in quant.i.ty. Why don’t you excel in one major first before taking on other majors?”
Looking at how the professors started to educate Zi Yi, Dou Xiaoyong could not endure it any further.
He spoke up and said, “Our Little Yi knows best whether she is able to cope with so many majors. As long as she likes it, we will definitely support her choices.”
Professor Zhang looked at Dou Xiaoyong with an inexplicable gaze. He very much wanted to ask if it was alright for him to use such a tone as if he was Zi Yi’s parents.
Unexpectedly, Dou Xiaoyong’s lips curled up and he introduced himself. “I am Zi Yi’s Uncle. All our family member supports her choices.”
Professor Zhang: “…”
Professor Deng spoke up. “So Zi Yi is Elder Dou’s granddaughter.”
“That’s right.”
The professors suddenly tumed silent.
Only then was Dou Xiaoyong satisfied. Don’t think that our Little Zi is someone you can invite as and when you like!
Mr. Qin who was standing next to them heard their conversation and said with a smile, “Everyone, we have reserved two tables in a hotel, let’s head over and have a meal first.”
It just so happens to be dinner time and thus, everyone did not reject his invitation and all of them headed to the hotel together.
‘The Guobin Hotel was a place often used to receive guests. The building’s architecture, interior, and service were all top-notch. With a single phone call, the hotel manager would arrange everything well.
‘When the group arrived at the hotel and took a seat in their private room, the waiters started serving the dishes.
Everyone started discussing today’s incident over dinner.
“If I knew that Little Zi is capable of resolving the acc.u.mulated snow on the road, the ma.s.sive traffic accident today would not have happened.”
Upon mentioning this, everyone’s mood started to get affected.
“Fortunately Little Lu was pa.s.sing by that area at that point in time. He led his men to rescue those who were seriously injured, brought them out of their cars, and even gave them emergency treatment, thus earning time for our rescue team and reducing the death toll to the minimum. This is truly a
fortunate thing amongst such misfortune.”
After Mr. Zheng said that, everyone turned to look at Lu Jingye.
They were not unfamiliar with his name. The Lu Group was involved in many different industries and he would occasionally work together with the government on different projects. Therefore, he more or less had dealings with them all.
However, the group of chemistry professors was not aware that he had left the Lu Group. Professor Liu asked, “Little Lu, why hasn’t anyone from the Lu Group been coming over to contact us about the project?”
“Oh, they haven’t?” Lu Jingye said in an apologetic tone, “I am no longer the President of the Lu Group and all these things have been pa.s.sed on to my eldest cousin to take charge of. Professor Liu, you can directly contact him through his phone to check.”
“Little Lu, why have you left the Lu Group?” Professor Zhang furrowed his eyebrows. “Only you and the team led by Zhang Tian are familiar with the project. Where’s Zhang Tian?”
Lu Jingye did not mention that Zhang Tian had been fired by Lu Zhiheng and he only said, “I’m not really sure on this matter. Professor Zhang, you can also call to check.”
Professor Zhang would certainly call to check.
The project their laboratory was cooperating on with the Lu Group was of great importance. Both sides are involved in the research and now that they are unable to get in touch with the other party’s person in-charge, there was no way for their project to continue its progress.
Lu Jingye didn’t say much nor did he continue talking about this topic. Instead, he concentrated on tasting the dishes.
That’s right, he was tasting the dishes, He would have a small bite of every dish and whichever he found to be delicious, he would grab some for Zi Yi.
“Yiyi, this dish tastes good.”
Zi Yiate the food he placed in her bowl and said, “You should eat more too.”
In fact, their actions were not considered very chummy. It was simply grabbing food and tasting it, but the atmosphere around them seemed to be pink. It caused the group of middle-aged men to feel as if they had interrupted their alone time.
Mr. Zheng suddenly thought of the condition Zi Yi had brought up before she came. He spoke in a joking tone. “Student Zi, you had specially brought up a condition of placing your name at the forefront of this situations solution. Could it be that you have other ulterior motives?”
Zi Yi looked up. Without concealing anything, she said, “It’s so that everyone can see my name at the very first glance.”
Mr. Zheng: “…”
He suddenly understood Zi Yi’s intentions.
This young lady most likely wanted Patriarch Lu to see her name, right?
Mr. Zheng felt that the young lady was indeed not a simple character.
After dinner, the group headed outside the hotel.
Professor Zhang asked Zi Yi, “Little Zi, will you be coming over tomorrow?”
It would most likely continue snowing in the following days and the chemical solution they prepared together with Zi Yi would only suffice for one day. They had to prepare more solutions for tomorrow.
“Twon’t be coming, I have lessons tomorrow.”
Everyone knew that Zi Yi was taking several different majors. Having heard what she said, Professor Zhang did not say anything else..
