Chapter 44: Couldn’t Be Underestimated
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Originally when Lu Jia’er only had teaching tasks at the university, she was no different from other idlers in Su Han’s eyes. But after she had become a member of the BUA R&D team, it was too difficult to see her during the day.
Lu Jia’er was also slowly adapting to the change in her life’s pace. The car had not been repaired when she checked on it a few days ago. It was inconvenient to come and go, but that part of her life had finally returned to normal as of today.
Lu Jia’er entered the elevator, with a cup of coffee in hand, just like an ordinary employee of the BUA company, but in fact she was not ordinary in this crowd.
“Good morning, Professor Lu!” Someone took the initiative to say h.e.l.lo to her.
The salute made many people in the elevator fix their eyes on her.
Although the group was large, any small piece of news would become well known, very quickly. Many people did not know Lu Jia’er personally, but they had heard her name.
Lu Jia’er turned slightly and saw Vice President Xiao, the woman she had met yesterday, standing behind her. “Morning!” she smiled out of courtesy.
“Professor Lu, the coffee in your hand smells good. Where did you get it?” Vice President Xiao continued the chat.
“A shop near the library of B University!” Lu Jia’er did not want to discuss coffee with Vice President Xiao in the elevator, but forced herself to speak.
“I will go there and taste it when I’m free!” Vice President Xiao laughed.
Lu Jia’er forced a smile on her face, which was what she hated doing the most. Sometimes she also thought that if she was in the workplace, she could be an invincible person with her mind-reading ability.
But she didn’t want to be such a person, so she chose school teaching because the working environment on campus was relatively simple.
Vice President Xiao had run into by her the other day, but she could still say h.e.l.lo to her as if nothing had happened. It really made Lu Jia’er feel that this woman’s mental power couldn’t be underestimated.
When Lu Jia’er arrived at the R&D center’s office area, she surveyed the area with her eyes, seeming as though she were looking for someone.
“Is the coffee in your hand for me?” a familiar voice came from behind her.
Lu Jia’er quickly turned around to find Jin Xiangdong, he stood tall and large in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat once again because of his sudden appearance.
“No, it’s for myself!” Lu Jia’er looked into the eyes of Jin Xiangdong and said softly.
The voice she used today upon seeing Jin Xiangdong was obviously different due to shyness and embarra.s.sment. After kissing him in secret yesterday, she wanted to escape the moment the elevator door opened, instead she directly hit the door.
However, Jin Xiangdong, like a robber, reached out instantly and seized the coffee in her hand— only to sweep past her as he walked directly into the office.
“Well… ” Lu Jia’er turned her head.
She had already taken two sips from that cup of coffee
“What were you talking about?” a voice came from behind her yet again.
It was Jason! Lu Jia’er turned her head and gave him a glance. In order to prevent him from gossiping, she started to walk ahead of him. “Boys who don’t return home all night are not good ones!”
“How do you know that I didn’t go home last night? Is Professor Lu using telepathy on me?” Jason was surprised.
“You are wearing the same clothes you were wearing yesterday!” Lu Jia’er became speechless at his accusation.
“I didn’t expect to receive so much attention from Professor Lu!”Jason curled his lips.
“Narcissism is a disease.” Lu Jia’er was once again at a loss as to what to say.
