Chapter 246： Experimental projects cannot be delayed (second update)

Chapter 246 The experimental project cannot be delayed (second update)

“boss…”

In the office, Ji Huai looked at Li Jiu with a sad face, "I didn't mean to misunderstand Mr. Qi."

Who would have known that Qi Jingci happened to appear on the boat with Li Jiu that day, and he was also shocked at that time, okay?

Li Jiu sneered, "No matter what, it's all your fault. You terminated the contract with SR. Although they paid liquidated damages, we also suffered a lot. During this time, you just stay in the company well." , think carefully about how to make back what you lost.”

Ji Huai wanted to cry for a moment. Her words were a formal announcement that he would work overtime day and night in the next period of time.

As expected, he is a humble social animal with no human rights!

Li Jiu ignored his drama and turned to leave. Before leaving, he said: "By the way, Shan Mingxi will be left to you. Keep an eye on him."

"...Oh." Ji Huai reluctantly responded, looking at her with resentment in his eyes.

Li Jiu walked out of the MZ building and was hit by the cold wind. She couldn't help but sneeze. She looked down at her thin sweatshirt and saw that she seemed to be wearing less.

The temperature has dropped very quickly recently. She didn't pay attention and didn't have time to put on more clothes.

I was thinking of walking quickly to the parking lot, getting in the car and turning on the heater.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, a black Rolls-Royce stopped steadily in front of her, blocking her way.

The car window was lowered, revealing Qi Jingci's handsome profile and his long, jade-like hands resting on the steering wheel.

The light gray phoenix eyes turned to look at her sideways, with no surprise on their expression, as if they were waiting for her.

Li Jiu: “…”

The eyes met, and nothing but silence remained.

Li Jiu was surprised that he hadn't left yet, while Qi Jingci's eyes were dull, and his eyebrows seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to see his emotions clearly.

Finally, Qi Jingci stretched out his long arm, opened the passenger door, and said to her: "Get in the car."

Li Jiu was silent for a moment and got into the car.

After fastening his seat belt, Qi Jingci glanced at her and asked, "Where are you going?"

The hand holding the seat belt paused and said: "Emperor."

Qi Jingci said nothing. He turned the steering wheel and the car merged into the continuous flow of traffic.

On the road, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

Li Jiu was still thinking about what to do with her car parked in the underground garage, when she suddenly heard Qi Jingci say: "Why are you going to Imperial University?"

"It's almost the end of the term." Li Jiu said four words in a warm voice.

Qi Jingci thought she was about to take her final exam, so she was anxious.

Seeing her dejected look, Qi Jingci curled up his thin lips and said, "You haven't had a few classes this semester. It doesn't matter if you don't do well in the final exam."

Li Jiu laughed twice and agreed twice.

She did not go back to take the exam, but to publish the exam papers.

Speaking of this, it started a few weeks ago when the principal of Imperial University called her and asked her to go back and complete her previous experimental projects, otherwise all her glorious deeds abroad would be sent to Imperial University. Post it on the forum to let all students admire her style.

Because of this, Li Jiu had a headache for a long time.

“Xiaojiu, you’ve been at Imperial University for two years, how long are you going to pretend? Do you really want me to send you another diploma? You don’t mind the trouble, but I feel like it’s a waste of paper!”

“Your experiments have been put on hold for so long, and the equipment in the institute is gathering dust. Do you really want to give up on this project?”

“Before, you told me that it was family reasons and you wanted to hide your identity and come back to school, but it’s been so long and Mr. Li is very kind to you. Is it really okay for you to hide it from him like this?”

“If by then he knows that you have not only obtained a doctorate, but also work for a special unit above, he will definitely be happy.”

"What's more, if you continue to hide it for such a long time, you won't be able to hide it anymore, and I won't carry it for you."

Li Jiu: “…”

Li Jiu finally had no choice but to agree to his return, but he actually went one step further and asked her to take the opportunity to write the papers for the final exam of the Imperial University.

Ah! He really knows how to find someone.

“I know my second brother who is taking the final exam at Imperial University. Do you need me to borrow the review outline from him for you?” Qi Jingci asked.

"No need."      The two words fell, and the atmosphere returned to silence.

After a long time, Qi Jingci suddenly asked: "That person just now...was you?"

Li Jiu paused, his eyes flashed, and he pretended not to know, "What did you say? I can't understand."

Qi Jingci looked at her, lowered his eyes, and said nothing more.

It’s just that the thoughts in my heart are a little firmer.

At this time, Li Jiu was feeling uneasy. She had been worried that Qi Jingci might have discovered something before he left.

The words he asked just now further proved that he doubted himself.

But so what? As long as she refused to admit it, he would have no evidence and the vest would not count.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the gate of Imperial University.

Li Jiu got out of the car and said to Qi Jingci: "You go back to work. There is no need to pick me up. I will go back by myself."

After speaking, turn around and leave, regardless of the expression of the person behind you.

It is now class time at Imperial University, and there are almost no people on campus.

Li Jiu went directly to the principal's office with ease.

——

"Enter."

She opened the door and saw Mr. Wu lying on the old man's chair with steaming black tea in his hand and a chess book in his hand, reading with interest.

Li Jiu raised his eyebrows. Do all the old people in this world have the same hobbies?

Her grandfather and Mr. Qi like tea ceremony, chess and the like, so how come Mr. Wu also likes it?

“Principal.” Li Jiu said.

When Mr. Wu saw Li Jiu, he immediately smiled and rolled his eyes and said, "Xiao Jiu, come and sit quickly."

Li Jiu nodded and went to sit down.

“How are you? How are you doing lately?”

Mr. Wu leaned forward and poured her a cup of hot tea to warm her body.

"fine."

"Is your grandpa in good health?" Mr. Wu asked again.

"Um."

“I heard that you recently got engaged to that kid from the Qi family. Congratulations.”

"Thanks."

Two words, concise and concise, and the tone is extremely plain.

Falled in Mr. Wu’s ears, it just meant that he didn’t want to pay attention to it and was perfunctory.

The corners of Mr. Wu's mouth twitched, knowing that he had offended her in a hurry.

He said helplessly: "Xiaojiu, I am not really trying to force you this time."

Li Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Who is that?"

Mr. Wu stretched out his hand and pointed upward and said, "It's up there."

After that, he sighed, "You also know that in recent years, there have been more and more special events in the Imperial Capital, no, the Empire, and the higher-ups have to pay attention to it, and your experimental project is what those above are most eagerly awaiting. , I really can’t delay any longer.”

Li Jiu took a sip of tea. The aroma of tea entered her nose uncontrollably, and a stream of heat slid down the test tube into her stomach, warming her body.

She said softly: "Mr. Wu, I have said before that I am the person in charge of this project, but I am not the only one. I have my own things to do and will not devote all my energy to research. If you If I don’t want to delay the project, I’ll find someone else to take my place.”
