Chapter 267 Another one trying to steal the fruits of our labor



Yao Tongxu quickly jumped back: "I heard strange noises upstairs, of course I had to come down and check it out!"

"You were so quiet, how could you hear it?" Unexpectedly, Qin Sang replied from downstairs, "I heard it all downstairs!"

Yao Tongjia is now in deep trouble. She really did moan because she was enjoying herself, but are those two people's ears radar-like? They heard even the slightest sound!

After everyone left, Xiao Gengwu continued to massage them: "I've already applied for a land foundation. If we get it, we'll build the house and see if their hearing is still so sensitive!"

Yao Tongjia nodded hurriedly, but the two of them completely forgot that even if these two people were building houses, they would be going with them!

The final exams came and went quickly, and they finished them soon. Yao Tongjia wasn't in a hurry to leave, as it seemed that Teacher Xue hadn't come to see her recently.

She felt a little uneasy. When she arrived at the office, Teacher Xue was there. Teacher Xue seemed to have become much younger and her energy had returned.

Teacher Xue saw Yao Tongjia waving at her: "Tongjia, I was just about to come find you. Tomorrow, could you spare some time to come with me somewhere?"

To be honest, Yao Tongjia had been studying with him for a semester, and this was the first time she had seen Teacher Xue with such a relaxed smile. She had been worried that the teacher might do something rash.

But judging from his current state, there's no need to worry: "Okay, teacher, what time will you come tomorrow? Where should I wait for you?"

Teacher Xue thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait for you at the gate of Huada University at eight o'clock. You just finished your exam, so you can rest and don't get up so early."

Yao Tongjia nodded and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered, "Is there anything I need to take with me?"

Teacher Xue shook her head, but then seemed to remember something: "Take that jade pendant with you; it should come in handy!"

Yao Tongjia's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Teacher Xue's business had returned? Of course, Yao Tongjia only thought this for a moment and did not ask aloud. She nodded and went to the door to look at Qin Sang.

Qin Sang is much more cautious now; she doesn't dare wait for her at the school gate like before, but instead waits for her at the classroom door.

When Yao Tongjia came out, Qin Sang came up to greet her, keeping an eye on the people around her, and walked side by side with Yao Tongjia!

Fortunately, danger wasn't always present. Yao Tongjia and Qin Sang returned home safely, only to find the house eerily quiet. Yao Yan, unable to resist Ruan Shengpeng's pleas, went back to the military region.

Fortunately, Qin Sang was there to keep her company. The two of them cooked together, ate, and even washed the dishes, but the three people still hadn't returned. Yao Tongjia was starting to get a little uneasy.

They led Qin Sang to their classroom, which was empty, but when they arrived at their teacher's office, thankfully all three of them were there.

However, the situation in the office was not so friendly. Xiao Gengwu and the other two were standing on one side, while there were about five or six people on the other side, who seemed to be talking angrily.

Seeing that the person was standing properly, Yao Tongjia breathed a sigh of relief and did not go in to disturb them. She stood not far from the office and waited for them.

However, unfriendly voices could be heard from the office from time to time, along with the reprimanding voices of the instructors. Finally, He Jiale got angry and said, "We've all said we don't need it, and we mean it. What do you want to do? Get out!"

Yao Tongjia heard the word "walk" clearly and soon saw three people walk out one after another, followed by several shouts: "Teacher, what should we do?"

Then came the hushed voices, which Yao Tongjia couldn't hear and didn't want to hear anymore; the three people had seen her.

"Sister Tong, are you here to pick us up? Or to pick up Brother Xiao?" He Jiale was still in the mood, winking as he spoke.

Yao Tongjia didn't answer He Jiale's question: "Why are you so late? Have you eaten?"

"We ate. Our professor treated us to a meal. Sister, what brings you here?" Yao Tongxu quickly replied.

"It's already past 8 o'clock, and I was worried when you hadn't come back yet. What's the matter that your supervisor invited you to dinner?"

Is this a trap? Will anyone be able to digest it?

He Jiale sneered: "You should have said why you invited us to dinner earlier. Who would want to eat that little bit of food? I'm still hungry!"

Xiao Gengwu interrupted He Jiale again: "We'll talk about it when we get back!"

He Jiale pursed his lips but didn't say anything. He pulled Yao Tongxu away, looking quite aggrieved.

Qin Sang, being perceptive, went to the back and observed her surroundings. Xiao Gengwu tugged at Yao Tongjia's hand.

"We hope we can further modify the material of the hat to reduce the impact force; otherwise, its bulletproof function will be largely meaningless!"

After Xiao Gengwu finished speaking, he patted Yao Tongjia's head. Last time, she was shot and lay in the hospital for almost a month. If a soldier was like that, losing his fighting ability was equivalent to losing his life.

This is indeed not very meaningful; there is no need to manufacture it if it can at least serve as a buffer.

"This mentor is a materials science professor. He hopes we can form a team to study this topic, but I don't want any new people to join. I think the three of us are enough."

"Your advisor doesn't agree?"

"Yes, they think we're not experienced enough and want to bring in his graduate student team!"

"You didn't agree?"

"Of course we disagree. Judging from their attitude, they only want our results, not the three of us."

"No way? How could he possibly come up with such an idea?"

"Not only can I not make my own decisions, but I've also been stripped of my qualifications. I'm just handing someone else a wedding dress. I can't do something like that!"

"Then don't do it. What if he doesn't let you pass?"

"If even I can't pass, then nobody can pass either. I will definitely file a complaint to the end. I refuse to believe that such a top-notch school has no place for me to seek justice!"

"Besides, we still have Jiale as our trump card. The Crown Prince wouldn't dare to do anything wrong, but anyone who dares to provoke him is courting death."

"Does your advisor know Jia Le's identity?"

"It seems he didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do this."

As soon as he stepped into the house, He Jiale couldn't help but say, "Sister Tong, you have no idea. Those so-called graduate students are all just recommended. They don't have any real skills at all, yet they dare to talk back to us."

"Next time they dare to bring up their graduate student status, I'll make them take the exam with us and see who's better!"

"That tutor is ridiculous. He clearly wanted to steal our things, but he acted all high and mighty, pretending to be very kind, and wanted us to just give them the things."

As Yao Tongjia poured them water, she asked, "How did they know you had such materials?"

He Jiale shut up now, looking a little embarrassed. It was obvious that he had let it slip. He lowered his head to drink water, and after finishing, he apologized: "I was just bragging to someone, and that old guy overheard it!"
