Chapter 48 Deliberate Targeting

Qi Yuanbin was choked hard, his face turned ashen, and he fled in disgrace like a rat.

After everyone walked away, Xu Li finally raised his head slowly and looked at Jiang Yao and the others.

"Sorry, and thank you for the trouble."

In fact, he didn't want Jiang Yao to see him with coffee all over his head, looking so embarrassed.

This would make him feel even more embarrassed.

Indeed, leaving Lu Xuan was a decision he had thought about for a long time and had nothing to do with Jiang Yao.

But after knowing that Jiang Yao and Lu Xuan broke up, he really wanted to help her and even thought about pursuing her.

He thought they were the same kind of people.

But he had heard that Jiang Yao had successfully passed the entrance exam to the research institute and was living a better and better life after leaving Lu Xuan.

Looking back at myself, I am a real commoner.

There is a huge gap between them.

He no longer had the courage to express his feelings of love.

Jiang Yao didn't know what he was thinking, but spoke frankly.

"You don't have to apologize to me. To put it bluntly, Lu Xuan is angry with you because of me, so he wants to ban you!"

Originally, she didn't have a good impression of Lu Xuan's friends.

But Xu Li was obviously an exception.

She knew that he really wanted to help her.

Moreover, she was once such an excellent gold medal lawyer, but now she has fallen to this point because of offending Lu Xuan. She really can't stand idly by.

"No, it has nothing to do with you. It's my own problem."

Xu Li shook his head. It was because he was unwilling to continue to live with them in a muddle-headed way and unwilling to help the evil that things turned out like this today.

"Okay, okay, stop blaming each other."

Shu Ya, who was standing by, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"In the end, isn't it that scumbag Lu deserves to die? He even wants to ban the lawyer. So, how about this—"

She put on her hat and sunglasses again, but her eyes turned to Xu Li with a scrutinizing look.

"Come and help me with a lawsuit. If you win well, I can recommend you and have you sign a contract as a long-term lawyer for our company."

Xu Li was stunned when he heard this.

Shu Ya thought he was unhappy and frowned.

"Don't think that lawsuits in the entertainment industry are easy to win, and don't underestimate this cooperation. It might help you get back to the top."

"No, I didn't underestimate it."

Xu Li just didn't expect that this big star would really be willing to help him.

After all, they are not related.

As if she had guessed his doubts, Shu Ya explained.

"I'm doing this for Yaoyao's sake, but it also depends on your own abilities. If your level isn't up to par, then there's no point in discussing further matters."

When faced with official business, she will calmly make judgments and decisions.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Li nodded, "I do."

"I'm optimistic about you."

Jiang Yao also gave him a sincere smile.

Xu Li's heart moved slightly, but he looked away. Before he achieved success in his career, he had no right to covet the rose that did not belong to him.

…

After the negotiation was successfully completed, it was already late, so Jiang Yao and Shu Ya separated early and went back to rest to avoid worrying Aunt Wang.

The next day, when Jiang Yao came to the research institute again, he received bad news.

"Yaoyao, there's a problem with our group's experimental data!"

Lian Yingying told her about this right away.

Jiang Yao was surprised, "What's going on?"

This set of experimental data was completed by everyone working together over several days, so there should be no mistakes.

"I guess there's a loophole in one of the steps."

Bi Siyuan's face was solemn, and he looked at the report in his hand with a headache.

"Now is not the time to argue about who is right or wrong."

At this moment, Yuan Xinchang suddenly spoke.

"Since there's a problem, we need to find a way to remedy it immediately. Right now, we should find a higher-level laboratory to handle it."

Everyone came back to their senses and felt that what she said made sense.

Jiang Yao felt something was strange.

But there is no time to think about it right now.

The group soon arrived at a higher-level laboratory, but this time, they were still stopped at the door.

"Sorry! This lab has been requisitioned by our team today."

Li Ming stood at the door with his arms folded, adding, "Oh, by the way, we applied in advance, so this won't violate the rules and regulations!"

As the team leader, Bi Siyuan was the first to step forward to negotiate.

"Li Ming, could you please be flexible? We need it urgently today. Just lend it to us for half an hour. We'll supply it to you next time."

"Student Bi, it's not that I don't want to help you, but our team is also in urgent need of it. I can't sacrifice the interests of other team members to help you."

Li Ming looked helpless.

"How long will it take you?" Jiang Yao went straight to the point.

"Well, let me think about it..."

Li Ming held his chin and thought for a moment, "About... an hour? Or maybe two hours!"

Jiang Yao's face suddenly darkened.

Obviously, he is talking nonsense!

Regardless of how many hours it was, they simply couldn't wait that long. In another hour at most, the electrolysis time for the materials they had would be over, and without the equipment, they would be completely scrapped.

Then all the experimental results that had been worked on for many days would be ruined.

"Student Li, we really need to use the lab urgently, otherwise our research will be ruined. Can you please let us use it first?"

Even the stubborn Lian Yingying took the initiative this time, lowering her stance and pleading, "When the time comes, we'll treat you to dinner and karaoke, okay?"

"Haha, didn't you say last time that it was first come, first served?"

"Besides, this time the problem was your own data. This only proves that some people are incompetent and have caused trouble for the team, leading to this result."

Li Ming raised his head and a mocking look fell on Jiang Yao's face.

"If I have to blame anyone, I can only blame the people who are dragging their feet on the team!"

Jiang Yao finally figured it out.

This Li Ming was obviously targeting her on purpose.

He must have known about their problem in advance.

There must be someone behind the scenes instructing him to occupy the laboratory so arrogantly and wait here to watch the show.

Obviously, not all the members of their group are here, so what experiment are they doing?

Li Ming sneered, returned to the laboratory and closed the door.

"Humph, if someone hadn't offended Li, things wouldn't have been so hopeless."

At this moment, Yuan Xinchang, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke sarcastically.

"Xinxin, it's already this late, why are you still saying such things?"

Even Yingying couldn't stand it anymore. Isn't this just taking her anger out on Jiang Yao?

"Am I wrong? We used to do experiments as a team of four in other research groups, and there have never been any problems."

Yuan Xinchang seemed to have been holding a grudge for a long time, and now he finally found an opportunity to vent it.

"But ever since this extra person came, the good balance has been disrupted."

"Xiao Yuan, now is not the time to start an internal conflict."

Bi Siyuan felt a terrible headache.

Yuan Xinchang finally got the chance, so how could he let it go?

"But all the hard work we put in for so long has been ruined. Shouldn't someone be held responsible?"

The scene fell into dead silence.
