Chapter 352: Grabbing a Spot

After deciding to sign the agreement next Monday, Shen Ning smiled and thanked him repeatedly before leaving with one foot high and one foot low.

After leaving the building, she called Su Chengcheng immediately and told her that she had found a solution.

Hearing Chen Ning say that she would lurk around Xiao Chen and try to delete her photos, Su Chengcheng was so moved that she burst into tears. At the same time, she was a little worried about Chen Ning. After all, with Chen Ning's appearance, staying with a sex maniac was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"What are you afraid of? I'll just leave once I achieve my goal. I won't be fooled by him anyway. Can a jerk of his status really use force?"

Su Chengcheng agreed as well. She also knew what kind of person Shen Ning's father was, who was still a daughter-slave even after the divorce and was always subservient to her. Not to mention that her biological mother's boyfriend in Country A also treated Shen Ning as his own daughter.

"But Ningning, you still have to be careful. Xiao Chen is not an ordinary artist. You must protect yourself."

Shen Ning hummed: "I know."

Su Chengcheng wanted to cry again: "Ningning, I thought you no longer considered me your best friend, wuwu..."

In the afternoon, Shen Ning returned to the school dormitory.

After being diagnosed with the disease at the beginning of the month, she was so shocked that she took sick leave... Now there is still a month before summer vacation, and she plans to take another month of sick leave and talk about taking a leave of absence in the next semester.

Although she is ready to give up now, there is a chemistry competition experiment group still in progress, and she cannot just drop out of school and give up.

Whether she attends the class or not doesn't affect others, but there are other people in the experimental group, so she has to see it through to the end.

After arriving at the dormitory, she began to pack her things.

The roommate also knew that Shen Ning had taken a long vacation, but because Shen Ning asked the college teachers to keep it confidential, no one knew why she took the leave.

Just seeing her packing up, the two people next to her seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if they wanted to ask something, but thinking of Shen Ning's mood being off recently, they finally didn't dare to speak.

Not long after, Yang Qian came back. The first thing she did after entering the door was to change Shen Ning's shoes. She said a little embarrassedly, "Ning Ning, I'll wash them and return them to you."

Shen Ning said hurriedly: "No, no, um, sorry, I broke your shoes..."

At this moment, Yang Qian saw the canvas shoes without soles on the shoe rack beside Shen Ning's bed. In an instant, her face turned red.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. You should still go find a job. I'm really sorry if this has affected your job search..."

"It has no impact, don't think too much about it."

To be precise, not only does it have no impact, it should even be helpful.

After all, that shoe sole easily helped her establish the image of a poor college student who was easy to bully. In fact, she had to thank Yang Qian.

The two apologized to each other, and finally Shen Ning laughed helplessly and decided: "How about this, let's just treat it as if we have completely exchanged shoes. I won't compensate you, and you don't have to return my shoes."

"How can this be possible? My shoes are already very old. I..."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, it's settled."

Shen Ning knew that Yang Qian's family was not well off and she hadn't received the scholarship last time she was evaluated because another classmate who wore branded clothes and could still "travel on a budget" had divorced parents and was a single parent.

It's frustrating to say the least...

Yang Qian finally stopped arguing and thanked Shen Ning quietly.

At this time, another roommate, Yao Dandan, showed concern and asked Shen Ning if she wanted to continue to ask for leave.

Shen Ning nodded and said, "Please wait until summer vacation."

Yang Qian was a little worried: "What about your final exams? Is there something going on at home? Is there anything I can help with?"

"No, I just want to rest for a while."

Others would not ask any further questions.

Since she wouldn't be coming to the dormitory very often, Shen Ning tidied up her things in the dormitory temporarily and then went downstairs to throw away the trash.

Yao Dandan waited until there was no one else in the dormitory, then got out of bed and went to the balcony to make a phone call.

After the call was connected, she lowered her voice: "Chen Ning wants to take a long vacation, and she may have to suspend her studies later. Can your group replace her place with mine?"

The experimental group that Shen Ning belongs to is now the one with the fastest progress and the best completion rate. Many teachers are paying attention to it. The group that Yao Dandan belongs to is at the bottom of the list... The prize of this competition is very valuable. Pang Qi, the leader of Shen Ning's group, is Yao Dandan's boyfriend, so Yao Dandan thought about changing groups.

Anyway, Chen Ning is going to take a long vacation. She can't just take up a position without doing any work and still get awards and credits. It's unfair to others.

On the other side, Shen Ning had just finished throwing away the garbage when her cell phone rang.

After glancing at the name, she picked up the phone: "Hello, Team Leader."

The man on the phone sounded somewhat dissatisfied: "Are you still going to ask for leave? Why didn't you tell me in advance? If the progress of the experiment is delayed, do you want to implicate others?"

Shen Ning paused for a moment and asked him: "I have taken leave recently and have not attended classes, but I haven't delayed the progress of the experiment, right? I have been to every experiment. To be fair, the content I am responsible for should be no less than others... So I want to know whether I need to report to you whether I take leave or not?"

Moreover, their experiment will be completed in ten days at most. Even if the sex maniac signs the contract, he will not ask her to start working immediately, so she will not delay any progress.

To put it bluntly, Pang Qi is the team leader in name, but she is responsible for completing many of the experimental progress.

So Shen Ning did not indulge the other party.

But the next moment, Pang Qi's voice suddenly rose, and he sounded even angrier than her: "It didn't affect me before, but what if it does in the future? Taking a long vacation will definitely delay your studies. What if some problems on your side prevent the experiment from being completed on time? Wouldn't that implicate others?"

Shen Ning suddenly realized something at this moment. She stopped arguing and asked him with a half-smile, "So, what do you want to say?"

Then she heard Pang Qi's true intention: "Since you don't plan to go to school in the near future, why don't you just quit our group to avoid affecting the progress of the experiment."

Shen Ning realized almost immediately that someone was jealous of her spot. Moreover, Pang Qi knew about it as soon as she mentioned in the dormitory that she wanted to ask for leave.

Who else could it be other than Pang Qi’s girlfriend Yao Dandan?

Not to mention that Yao Dandan had said several times in a sour tone that she had followed Pang Qi to ask for Zeng Jiang to treat her to a meal.

Oh……

Shen Ning said directly: "It's okay for me to quit. You yourself told me the reason for quitting in the group. It's impossible for me to take the initiative to quit the group."

Mainly because it's too disgusting.

The entire experimental project is almost completed, with only the last few experiments and data left. Moreover, to be honest, she completed at least 60% of the previous experiments by herself... Now it's time to reap the fruits. Do you want to kick her out and reap the benefits?

Sorry, it's not that easy.

If it were in the past, Shen Ning would definitely not agree to quit so easily, but now, she no longer cares about awards or anything like that, mainly for the sake of a breath of fresh air.

So, she agreed to quit the group, but asked Pang Qi to come forward himself.

In this way, if anything happens later... he will naturally be involved.

Pang Qi was obviously very anxious to kick her out, and immediately agreed to let him do it.

Less than two minutes after hanging up the phone, Shen Ning saw that he had sent a message in the group, which meant that because Shen Ning was going to take a long vacation, in order to focus on her own things, after communicating with Shen Ning, she decided to quit the group.

Shen Ning sneered and sent a message directly.

Chen Ning: Let me make it clear, it was not me who decided to quit the group, it was the group leader who asked me to quit.

Another girl in the group sent a question mark.

Lin Zhiyun: Our experiment is almost finished, and Chen Ning has not been delayed.

Pang Qi: She will take a long vacation later. If there is any delay, can you take responsibility?

The other three people didn't say anything, and Lin Zhiyun didn't say anything either.

Chen Ning: I can withdraw. Any matters concerning the project team from now on have nothing to do with me. Also, I have to go to the lab to get my things now. Please meet me in the lab in ten minutes.

Pang Qi: Okay.

Ten minutes later, Pang Qi opened the door. Shen Ning entered the laboratory and packed up her things, notebooks, documents, etc. Pang Qi stared at her without blinking, as if he was afraid that Shen Ning would move something.

Pang Qi only breathed a sigh of relief when Shen Ning picked up her bag and left without looking back.

His goal was achieved, and he realized belatedly that he seemed a little too impatient and his actions were a bit awkward, so he wanted to smooth things over. He took out his phone and sent a message to Shen Ning, saying something like, "We may be in different groups but we are still classmates, so feel free to ask if you have anything to say." However, the message showed that he was not yet the other party's friend.

Shen Ning had already deleted him.

After all, there was nothing much to say to this kind of person, so she simply deleted it and was done with it...

Pang Qi curled his lips and snorted coldly, then called Yao Dandan: "Get ready and apply next Monday."

Yao Dandan's voice was full of joy: "Okay, thank you, dear."
