Chapter 455: Unfulfilled Expectations

Listening to Xie Minglang's babble, Lin Xiangnan avoided his gaze. Not only did she not dare to interrupt, she even did not dare to make eye contact with Xie Minglang.

Afraid that their eyes would meet, Xie Minglang would persuade her to roll together.

Lin Xiangnan lowered his head and watched his toes drawing circles, thinking to himself: I can drag my partner into this, but I can’t drag her into this!

Fortunately, Xie Minglang doesn't need any supporting actors, he can speak happily on his own.

Thinking of himself taking the helm of the Xie family in the future, Xie Minglang even laughed out loud.

"A wonderful life is beckoning to me... Since fate has brought this opportunity to me, I must seize it. The future world will eventually belong to us..."

Lin Xiangnan had not finished the cup of tea in his hand yet. After Xie Minglang finished his bold words, he looked at his watch, then quickly picked up his briefcase and prepared to leave.

"Take care. Call me if you have anything." Lin Xiangnan saw the guest off politely.

The reason why she could live a peaceful life was because Xie Minglang was carrying the burden. Xie Minglang had already doubled up his share for her.

But Xie Minglang enjoyed it.

As soon as he left the office, the high-spirited expression on Xie Minglang's face immediately disappeared. He became serious and switched to work mode.

Lin Xiangnan stretched her neck and watched Xie Minglang's car drive away. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh my God, he's finally gone." Lin Xiangnan collapsed on the sofa.

In fact, she quite likes working with the King of Rolls. With the King of Rolls around, the progress of work can be greatly accelerated. And she just needs to be careful not to be dragged into it by the King of Rolls.

After lying on the sofa for two minutes, Lin Xiangnan slowly walked back to school to organize his graduation thesis.

With Lin Xiangnan's level, the graduation process will be smoother than chocolate, but she still has to go through the formalities.

If an exception is made, there will be various applications, discussions, and approvals required. For the undergraduate student who graduated early from the school that year, the school and the Education Bureau had to hold a meeting to set the defense time and teacher. It would be so troublesome that she might as well just do her graduation defense honestly.

Among their class, quite a few students have delayed their graduation, and those who have not are also overwhelmed, busy with graduation thesis defense and job assignments.

Lin Xiangnan is a leisurely person. In his free time, he can take his children on a picnic. When the day comes, he will directly participate in the defense.

Lin Xiangnan was arranged to be the first in the defense that day. Professor Wang reminded him one day in advance, "Don't be late tomorrow morning. Arrive at least ten minutes early. Do you understand?"

"I know. Are you still not confident in me?" Lin Xiangnan said proudly, "In all these years, when have you ever seen me being late?"

She is just the queen of being on time, not the queen of being late.

On the day of the defense, Lin Xiangnan arrived quite early. When he arrived at the door, he even checked his watch. It was just right that he arrived ten minutes early.

So when faced with Professor Wang's gaze, Lin Xiangnan held her head high and was a little proud. She has always been a considerate and good student, and she took everything the teacher said to heart.

Lin Xiangnan arrived earlier than usual, but others arrived even earlier, especially Professor Wang and his group of senior professors, who all had the good habit of arriving early.

The professors sitting in the front row all had thick stacks of graduation theses in front of them. Because it was Lin Xiangnan's graduation defense, the dean and his colleagues were all there, and the lineup of defense teachers was magnificent.

In addition to them, there were many young teachers who came to join in the fun. They were all students from the school who had stayed on campus for the past two years. Su Wangwang and others from the laboratory also came to watch the fun, but they were standing in the back row of the classroom. When they saw Lin Xiangnan coming, they waved to her excitedly.

“There are so many people.”

Lin Xiangnan looked around, trying to find a place to sit, but found that there was no place for him in the back row, so he sat down next to Professor Wang.

"This is the seat reserved for the principal. He's gone to the bathroom." Professor Wang said speechlessly, "It's only a few minutes. Can't you just stand and wait?"

"Just sit for a while." Lin Xiangnan didn't move his butt and asked with a smile: "Teacher, have you read my graduation thesis?"

"I saw it." Professor Wang's smile became gentle. As her first disciple, Lin Xiangnan really made her proud.

Lin Xiangnan glanced around furtively, then leaned close to Professor Wang's ear and whispered, "Teacher, under your painstaking guidance, I have finally made some achievements. It has not been easy along the way. If someone embarrasses me later, teacher, you have to speak for me!"

During the defense, he would definitely face all kinds of questions. If someone deliberately asked tricky questions to show off his strength, Lin Xiangnan was afraid that he would not be able to win the debate alone.

It is not enough for her to debate with a group of scholars alone. She has to get Professor Wang on board in advance to fight for her.

Professor Wang glanced at Lin Xiangnan with a strange look in his eyes and said helplessly, "I know."

"Hehe~" Lin Xiangnan blinked at her, trying to express his high respect for the teacher with his eyes.

Seeing that Professor Wang responded to his look, Lin Xiangnan winked again and glanced at his dear teacher.

Professor Wang sighed, "I won't wink at you for no reason. The principal is back, you should get up and let him go."

Lin Xiangnan raised her eyes and saw the principal standing next to her, looking at her with a kind smile.

"You two can talk about your own things. I won't be in the way if I stand here for a while."

"Please sit down." Lin Xiangnan stood up and offered his seat to Professor Wang, then winked at him before leaving.

The defense was about to begin and she had to go to the podium.

Professor Wang looked at her and made faces, not wanting to say anything. He kept a wooden face and pretended to be serious.

Fortunately, there is no need to prepare PPT for defense now, which saved Lin Xiangnan a lot of effort. She didn't even bring any materials and went on stage to present her graduation thesis empty-handed.

She wrote her graduation thesis herself, and she knew what was on every page without even looking at it.

Lin Xiangnan was full of confidence and said: "Our laboratory's research on radar is not only leading in China, but also in the world..."

Among the students who came to watch the fun, those who were not from related majors hardly understood anything and many were confused.

But after listening, they saw the professors in the front row applauding, so they followed suit.

As soon as Lin Xiangnan finished speaking, she received applause. She felt a little uncomfortable, as she felt that the rhythm of her defense had been interrupted.

After everyone finished applauding, Lin Xiangnan quickly looked at the teachers in the front row and signaled them to ask questions quickly.

Under Lin Xiangnan's expectant gaze, the dean began to praise him as soon as he opened his mouth, "The design of your experimental plan this time is very clever and interesting. I was amazed when I saw it..."

After being praised, Lin Xiangnan's expectation of having a debate with the group of scholars was somewhat disappointed. He turned around and looked at the other teachers.
