Chapter 56 Will the Senior Think I'm Bad?
Jiang Yao was startled and suddenly turned around to see Li Beiting had come to her side without her knowing when.
"Senior..."
She blinked suspiciously.
"Did you hear the conversation just now?"
"Yeah, right in the bathroom."
Li Beiting said lightly.
Jiang Yao blinked his eyes, and a cunning light flashed in them.
"Well, the senior figured it out! So I tried to trick her, but she admitted it to me."
"If I really had evidence, I wouldn't let her go so easily."
People who don't put their minds to academics and even destroy other people's achievements are not worthy of sympathy at all.
She is lucky that she can just quit the team and continue to be a graduate student.
"Will the senior think I'm bad?"
The girl's eyes are clever and charming, like a cunning little fox. She doesn't make people feel disgusted, but makes people want to touch her.
Li Beiting suppressed the thought that flashed through his mind and cleared his throat.
"You did nothing wrong, don't feel any psychological burden."
It seems that she has indeed been educated by the university of society, but she doesn't have the intention to harm others. Self-protection is a necessary skill for everyone...
Jiang Yao smiled sweetly, and her mood became better.
"I feel relieved now that you said that, Senior."
Li Beiting engraved the smile at that moment into his mind, and suddenly asked after a moment.
"Will you have time?"
Jiang Yao nodded.
"I've finished the task at hand and can leave early. Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes. I'd like to ask you to accompany me to a place. There's a piece of land that Liheng wants to bid for. It's in a prime location and can be used to build aerospace experimental land. The project owner is holding an event tonight, a banquet, so there are quite a lot of people. I thought you'd be more familiar with the situation here..."
Li Beiting told her the general situation and handed her a detailed document.
When Jiang Yao heard that this piece of land would be related to aviation experiments in the future, he immediately became interested.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"See you in the parking lot in half an hour."
After getting the reply, Li Beiting left first.
Jiang Yao also returned to her seat to read the information, packed up her things and went to the parking lot. Just as she was about to walk towards Li Beiting's car, a petite figure bumped into her and hugged her arm.
Lian Yingying's eyes were sparkling.
"Yaoyao, you promised me before that after you finish this project, let's go out and celebrate tonight!"
"ah……"
Jiang Yao then remembered this matter.
She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, then looked in the direction of Li Beiting and then looked at her.
"Sorry, Yingying, I have something important to do tonight. Can I treat you another day?"
"Important?"
Lian Yingying narrowed her eyes suspiciously, as if she had noticed something, and glanced forward.
The first thing I saw was Li Beiting, who was leaning against the car, standing tall and straight.
Lian Yingying suddenly realized and looked at Jiang Yao with a teasing expression.
"You really value love over friendship. I understand. I won't be a third wheel tonight. Bye."
After saying that, he skipped away without giving Jiang Yao a chance to explain.
Jiang Yao: "..."
She felt embarrassed and helpless. What a mess!
Walked in front of Li Beiting.
The man seemed not to have heard what he had just said, which made Jiang Yao feel relieved.
He opened the car door for her, "Please."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems that Li Beiting’s attitude towards her has changed a lot since last night’s dinner.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the venue.
There were quite a few people at the scene.
Each of them has some reputation in the business world, and some of them are people Jiang Yao has come into contact with before.
However, the most familiar one among them is Lu Xuan!
However, Jiang Yao was not too surprised to see Lu Xuan.
After all, Lu Xuan is not really useless. He still has some abilities. He should have received the news about the auction early in the morning.
What's more, the Lu family has been on a downward trend now, so he naturally won't miss this opportunity.
But as for the competition for this venue today, since she had promised Li Beiting to help him, she was determined to win it.
Among the crowd, Lu Xuan also noticed the brightest and most eye-catching existence at a glance.
I was distracted for a moment.
Lu Xuan recognized him at a glance. That was clearly the man he saw dining at the same table with Jiang Yao in the private restaurant that day.
They were indeed acquaintances.
Did she come here with the other person?
Thinking of this, he felt an increasingly strong sense of crisis in his heart.
I couldn't help but clench my fists hanging at my sides.
It was clear that every time before, Jiang Yao had been by his side, helping him complete one project after another.
But now, she is following others and wishes to become a stranger to herself!
They were so close, yet so far away.
Lu Xuan desperately wanted to grab something. He took a step forward and was about to say something to Jiang Yao...
But at this time, Mr. Xi, the person in charge of the venue, came over.
He could only suppress the thoughts that were stirring in his heart.
"Welcome, everyone. Xi knows that everyone is here today for this large venue with the best location behind me.
This is the land left by the older generation of our Xi family. Even if I want to sell it, I hope to sell it to someone who will treat it well and make full use of its true value.
Therefore, I will not conduct an auction. Gentlemen and ladies who wish to purchase this land, please submit your bids and information about what you plan to do with the land, and I will make the final decision."
After Mr. Xi finished his speech, the guests began to talk and test each other.
When it comes to quotations, since there is no upper limit, whoever fills in the highest price has the greatest chance of winning.
Jiang Yao had already discussed filling out the form with Li Beiting in the car and did not participate in it. Jiang Yao submitted the document personally.
However, before she could hand it over, a figure blocked her way.
Jiang Yao looked up and saw Lu Xuan's haggard face. She frowned and said, "Please make way."
Lu Xuan was hurt by her cold attitude.
But this time he was no longer sarcastic and mean, but instead lowered his posture for once.
The sense of crisis in his heart just now suddenly gave him the urge to repair this relationship.
"Yaoyao, I can tell you our company's offer in advance, giving you a greater chance of winning this land."
He wanted to give Jiang Yao a chance so that she could see that he would treat her well and their relationship didn't have to be so tense.
It’s just a piece of land anyway, not a project that is difficult to give up.
However, Jiang Yao only found it funny, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes again.
"Lu Xuan, what tricks are you trying to pull? I won't be fooled by you again, and I won't give you this opportunity."
Meeting her cold eyes filled with distrust, Lu Xuan felt his heart deeply hurt.
"Am I such a despicable person in your heart?"
He couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Aren't you?"
Jiang Yao retorted, "Over the years, you've earned so much from me. Have you ever been grateful? Have you ever given me anything in return? You're even stingy with your wages. A black-hearted capitalist like you will eventually bankrupt your company."
Lu Xuan was choked and his face turned blue with anger.
"It's not that I didn't give you money, it's that you didn't want it..."
He was somewhat dissatisfied and even felt aggrieved.
"Besides, I'm sincere this time. I've thought about making amends. Why do you have to think this way about me? Am I worse than that pretty boy beside you just now in your eyes?"
Jiang Yao was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that pretty boy... was he talking about Li Beiting?
The corner of his mouth twitched.
After all, this was the first time she heard someone say that Li Beiting was a gigolo.
"No need, Mr. Lu, we have nothing to do with each other now, and telling others about the bottom price will easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Jiang Yao raised an eyebrow. "After all, I still remember vividly when you accused me of plagiarizing your company. Every failure is a learning experience, so let's just forget it."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Lu Xuan continued to frown and stopped her.
"Jiang Yao, I'm definitely better than that pretty boy next to you, right? Why do you have to be so ungrateful and sarcastic?"
He has clearly shown weakness, what else does she want?
