As soon as the woman appeared, Dean Wang's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"That's right, that's right. With Miss Qiao here, everything will definitely be resolved."

The so-called Miss Qiao smiled with satisfaction.

His gaze swept across Rong Jinyan's face almost imperceptibly.

Rong Jinyan frowned.

What is it?

Miss Qiao, however, seemed completely oblivious to Rong Jinyan's rejection.

She simply smiled at Rong Jinyan, and as if casually, tugged at her collar, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

"Please rest assured, Dean Rong, with me here, everything will be resolved."

Rong Jinyan: ...

Are you crazy? Just talk, why are you pulling on my clothes?! Don't you see there are children here?!

What if children learn this terrible practice?

Rong Jinyan glanced at the person with some annoyance, then turned away, preventing the cub from turning back.

The cub, whose entire view was suddenly blocked: Hmm?

The smile on Miss Qiao's lips froze for a moment. She glanced at the handsome Rong Jinyan but ultimately said nothing more.

Don't worry, it's just the initial desperate resistance; no one can escape her charms.

As for now,

"Please take me there first, Dean Wang. After all, some things require careful observation to see where the problem lies."

Rong Jinyan frowned slightly. So this person had spoken so confidently just now without even looking at the questions?

The so-called Miss Qiao naturally didn't miss Rong Jinyan's suspicious gaze.

She gave a sweet smile.

Without making a sound, she pulled her collar open even wider.

"you…"

"Get lost!" Don't you know there's a child around? Why do you keep doing this? Don't you have any basic manners?!

Miss Qiao, who was angrily rebuked for lacking personal manners: ...

She ground her back teeth hard, but ultimately said nothing. However, the greed and malice in her eyes were hard to conceal the moment Rong Jinyan turned his head.

Rong Jinyan lowered his head slightly, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

Strange, this person...

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this. Before that, let's go to the lab and take a look at those gems."

At this moment, Dean Wang chuckled and began to smooth things over.

Rong Jinyan didn't say anything, and the group followed him into the laboratory, which was usually only accessible to special personnel.

Seeing the pile of gems on the table, a glint of greed flashed in Miss Qiao's eyes. She straightened her collar and walked past Dean Wang with a seductive air.

Dean Wang watched intently, his eyes glued to the screen.

Rong Jinyan sneered from the side, covered the cub's ears, and mocked it mercilessly.

"You old geezer who only thinks with his lower body!"

Dean Wang was stunned, his cheeks flushed red, and he looked at Rong Jinyan with disbelief and embarrassment.

No, how could this be? How could this guy mock him like that?!

Rong Jinyan turned her gaze away expressionlessly.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Dean Wang eventually came out with a stiff face to smooth things over.

"Miss Qiao, we have resolved all other technical issues."

There's only one problem: the final stage of the fusion of the gem's energy and the potion just won't settle down.

Normally, the energy of this medicine should be balanced and stable.

However, apart from that one instance, all the potions they developed afterward contained extremely explosive energy.

so……

Miss Qiao didn't turn her head, she just stared at the gemstone in front of her.

"No problem, it's just the final fusion, leave it to me."

Miss Qiao's eyes were full of pride and self-satisfaction.

After all, putting everything else aside, she was an exceptionally capable person, although this ability was only manifested in extracting and fusing potions.

She should have been the most renowned healer, but that old man just wouldn't pass on his true skills to her.

All she was allowed to do every day was extract and blend potions.

She claims to be practicing basic skills, but everyone knows she's just treating her like a laborer, a beast of burden without pay!

Fortunately, she was clever and betrayed the chefs early on, thinking about what she was learning under another teacher now.

And this opportunity given to her, as well as the teacher's trump card,

I will definitely make the most of it.

Try to infiltrate this group and get what the teacher wants.

Miss Qiao narrowed her eyes, her fair fingers landing on the gemstone.

"I've checked it and there's no problem. It's probably just a technical issue."

But don't worry, this is as natural to me as breathing.

With me here, everything will be alright.

Before Rong Jinyan could speak, the researcher who had been following him in the research lab couldn't help but chuckle secretly.

It wasn't that he looked down on this Miss Qiao,

But what he said...

He's incredibly narcissistic and shameless.

They've been working so hard and struggling in the lab every day to achieve that fusion, do they really think they haven't tried these methods?!

I've tried it before, but nothing worked.

I thought the expert we invited this time would be really amazing, but it turns out he's just a potion fusionist who hasn't even passed the healer exam yet.

Miss Qiao, of course, couldn't miss the man's snickering, and immediately clenched her fist.

His eyes and brows were fierce.

Dean Wang also felt he had lost face, so he immediately stepped forward and sternly reprimanded him.

"What kind of attitude is this towards experts, Director Rong? Is this the kind of upbringing your team members have?!"

The researcher was stunned for a moment after being yelled at. No matter what, he was a highly capable person at work, and he hadn't been scolded like that in a very long time.

Rong Jinyan took a step forward.

"What's wrong with him laughing when he thought of something funny? What kind of attitude is that? Does he want to tell you what's on his mind?"

Rong Jinyan has always been adept at protecting her own.

"In that case, how about we make a bet?"

Before Dean Wang could speak, Miss Qiao stepped out from behind him, holding a gemstone.

"If I successfully fuse the gem with the potion, then this researcher should apologize to me. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who can just sit back and suffer in silence."

As this researcher's superior, Dean Rong, why don't you treat me to a meal as an apology?

Miss Qiao's gaze fell on Rong Jinyan's face.

Ambiguous yet tender

Everyone present was an adult; how could they not understand what was going on?

The atmosphere became eerily quiet for a moment.

Only one of the cubs, lying listlessly in my arms, was counting on its chubby fingers.

Upon hearing this request, the cub couldn't help but lift its chubby little face.

Two chubby little hands suddenly wrapped around Rong Jinyan's neck.

"Daddy, no!"

Don't go to eat with this strange-looking auntie!

The system hasn't gone home yet.

But the cub sensed a familiar energy emanating from this person.

Hate Dislike

It's a bad guy!

The cub raised its head and peeked at Miss Qiao.

Um!

It's a bad guy!!
