Liu Qian glanced at Prof Zhao before moving his gaze away. He could not be bothered arguing with Qi Hui, so he simply said, “I am preparing. After everything is in order, I will update you about it.”

Qi Hui was briefly stunned. For some reason, he felt Liu Qian did not seem as powerless as he used to.

Liu Qian glanced at the time and said, “If that is all, I don’t want her to be late for cla.s.ses, so we have to go.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he looked at Huo Yao. He nodded to Prof Zhao before the both of them left the office.

After they left the office, Qi Hui snapped out of his daze and looked at Prof Zhao.

Zhao Lian stood with his hands behind his back as he pondered about what Qi Hui had just said. He could not help raising his head to ask Qi Hui to confirm. “Are you sure Huo Yao used the laboratory previously?”

Qi Hui did not know what to say.

Qi Hui went quiet for a couple of seconds. He did not understand why Prof Zhao was asking about this. However, he simply nodded and pointed at Jiang Mingyue. “That’s right. My student saw her there.”

Jiang Mingyue hurriedly said softly, “That’s right, Prof Zhao. I was at the laboratory conducting some tests with my research team. I happened to see her coming out from the laboratory.”

The moment Zhao Lian heard what she said, he finally raised his head and looked at Jiang Mingyue. Even though there was hardly any expression on his face, Jiang Mingyue could sense her scalp tightening under his stares.

There was something faintly serious in his eyes.

Jiang Mingyue did not know what to make of it. She cautiously lowered her head and looked at the ground without daring to speak.

Zhao Lian s.h.i.+fted his eyes and reminded Qi Hui. “After all these years, don’t you know Liu Qian’s character? Sometimes, you really shouldn’t overdo it.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he turned to leave the office.

Qi Hui watched from behind as Prof Zhao left the room. He looked very annoyed and did not say a word for a long time.

The atmosphere in the office became very tense.

Jiang Mingyue trembled. She raised her head and looked at Qi Hui. She was unafraid of Qi Hui. After a brief silence, she could not suppress her curiosity and asked. “Mr. Qi, do Huo Yao and Prof Zhao know each other well?”

It was impossible for her to ignore how warm Prof Zhao was to Huo Yao.

Qi Hui composed himself and looked at Jiang Mingyue slightly more calmly. “Prof Zhao personally invited her to join the department. What do you think?”

Jiang Mingyue was stunned. She had not seen this coming.

Prof Zhao was a very important man. She hardly had the chance to see him at university. Also, he was a government scientist. Why would he suddenly take interest in a student?

Also, he had personally invited Huo Yao to join the Biology department. Something dawned on Jiang Mingyue and made her worried, so she asked. “Didn’t Prof Zhao mention he wanted to accept a disciple? Don’t tell me he was talking about Huo Yao?”

This never crossed Qi Hui’s mind earlier. He thought about Prof Zhao’s nonchalant att.i.tude towards Huo Yao when it came to her division a.s.signment and promptly shook his head. “I don’t think so.”

If he wanted to accept Huo Yao as his disciple, she would not have ended up in Bioinformatics.

The moment Jiang Mingyue heard what he said, she inexplicably felt a lot better. She smiled and said, “For a moment there, I thought Prof Zhao was here to defend his disciple.”

As long as Huo Yao was not going to become Prof Zhao’s disciple, she was fine. She could not stand Huo Yao’s pretentious ways.

Sadly, Huo Yao did not get a demerit point!
