1952 Xu Yi Represents the Team
“Qiao Nian, how about you go up?” Shen Qingfeng asked the girl bluntly.
Xue Zhu had the same thought. “That’s right. I think it’s more suitable for you to go up. We were able to successfully complete this experiment and obtain the results this time because of the information you sorted out. You’re the most suitable one to represent our team!”
Xu Yi did not say anything, but he did not deny their words. He looked at Qiao Nian with a pair of cold eyes, clearly agreeing with them.
Qiao Nian took off her baseball cap and placed it on the table. Then, she pulled out a chair, sat down, and said casually, “I won’t go.”
“Why?” Thinking that she was probably too embarrassed, Shen Qingfeng quickly said, “Qiao Nian, don’t think too much. The three of us acknowledge your contribution this time. We just think that you were responsible for the main part of this experiment result. It’s reasonable for you to go up and explain on the team’s behalf. Although you’re still a newcomer, our team doesn’t have so many rules. You deserve this opportunity.”
Qiao Nian smiled and shook her head under their gazes. She placed her hand on the table and said concisely, “I’ll be easily targeted if I go up.”
All three of them looked at her.
Qiao Nian did not hide anything and said slowly, “You should have heard that there are some people in the research institute who don’t like me. Instead of me going up, why don’t one of you go?”
She suddenly looked at the handsome young man who had been silent this entire time. “Xu Yi will represent the team.”
Xue Zhu’s personality was too jumpy. He was easily nervous during big occasions, and when he was nervous, he was prone to making mistakes.
On the other hand, Shen Qingfeng was calm, but he was too calm. He was a little too rigid and was not suitable to be a presenter.
Only Xu Yi’s personality was a mescle of the two.
Qiao Nian had observed him during this time.
He did not speak much usually, but his words were sharp and his opinions were strong. He had a strong personality.
He was the kind of person who usually did not reveal himself but could hold the fort at critical moments.
“Me?” There was a hint of surprise and shock in Xu Yi’s eyes. He pointed at himself, not expecting Qiao Nian to give him this opportunity.
“Yes, you.” The girl nodded. Her snow-white jaw was exquisite and smooth, and her eyes were filled with trust and encouragement.
Xu Yi was silent for a moment. He clenched his fists and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, not daring to meet the girl’s gaze.
Actually, when Xue Zhu suggested that Qiao Nian represent their team, he felt a little disappointed, and his mood was complicated.
However, he could tell that Shen Qingfeng had the same intention.
In addition, he knew that Qiao Nian was indeed in the lead this time. Their success would not be possible without her help.
Therefore, he suppressed his complicated feelings and did not say anything.
“Can you do it?” The girl’s voice was clear and cold as if she did not know the unbearable jealousy in his heart.
Xu Yi looked into her eyes and felt that she seemed to know. In fact, what she said just now was deliberately giving him a chance.
He clenched his fists even tighter. His throat dried. “I…”
Xue Zhu slapped his shoulder and put her arm around it. “Then it’s you! Xu Yi, you have to work hard for our group and for me to hold my head high for once!”
Shen Qingfeng looked at the calm Qiao Nian and then at the silent and speechless Xu Yi. Having a rough idea of what was going on, he quickly joined in. He hammered his chest with a smile. “Then it’s decided. Good luck later.”
