Chapter 236 It's Getting Cold



"No, someone said before that reading CEO romance novels was useless, but now it's proving useful!"

He Qingfeng and the others: "??" What does that mean?

"The CEO said something similar to what Ah Lin just said, something like... 'When dawn breaks, the Wang family will go bankrupt!'"

He Qingfeng and the others: "..."

Hey! Take all of these books by the domineering CEO! All of them! Take them all away! Is it appropriate for a dignified big shot to be reading these books?!

Han Jiayin stared blankly at the empty doorway for a long time.

Chu Cangyu looked up at Lü Fang on the podium, whose expression wasn't very good, and smiled.

"Han Jiayin, aren't you going back to prepare for class? If you don't go back soon, I don't know if the Han family will go bankrupt, but Old Lu will definitely make things difficult for you."

He smiled slyly. When Han Jiayin heard this, she subconsciously turned around and saw Lu Fang's dark face staring at her intently.

It seems like words of comfort will come out of her stomach at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Han Jiayin quickly returned to her seat.

During class, everything seemed calm and peaceful, but as soon as get out of class ended, people's gossipy hearts would stir.

Before the lab class, Han Jiayin spoke rudely to Qi Jiu, which earned her a response from the main character. This incident spread throughout the pharmacy department and even appeared on the forum.

Han Jiayin also earned a nickname because of this: the sober mistress.

Why is she called that? Because she knows it's wrong for He Qingfeng to throw himself at someone he likes, which shows she's being clear-headed.

But she was the one who lunged forward.

Although He Qingfeng and Jiang Xin are not officially together yet, He Qingfeng's feelings have been made clear, and it is also true that Jiang Xin likes He Qingfeng.

When Han Jiayin was angrily rebuking Qi Jiu, she actually forgot that she herself was the one who behaved the way she described.

Does she lack moral values? Yes, she does, it's just that the object of her attention isn't her.

In addition, she had promised many people about G, but there has been no news since. Now she has become a sanctimonious mistress who talks nonsense.

This title isn't exactly flattering.

The internet is a wonderful thing. This incident just happened in a small laboratory, and within an hour, the appearance of the school forum meant that the entire University A now knew about it.

Within minutes, many anonymous users started talking about this and that on the forum.

After a long class, Qi Jiu took off her mask, looked at the two people sitting close to her but somewhat reserved, and pursed her lips.

"You just met?"

He Qingfeng was taken aback and shook his head.

Jiang Xin did the same thing.

The girl found it amusing. "Then why aren't you saying anything? A whole year of lectures has passed, and I could feel the budding romance around you two. How could you two possibly hold back? Did you chicken out?"

Her voice rose in pitch, carrying a hint of teasing, which made He Qingfeng somewhat anxious.

"I didn't."

The girl shifted her gaze to Jiang Xin beside her, looking at her flushed face and ears, and clicked her tongue.

"Senior, girls might be a little more shy when it comes to relationships, are you a man?"

He Qingfeng suddenly looked up at her, his eyes wide open. "Is that even a question?"

As soon as he said this, he reached out and took Jiang Xin's small hand, and walked straight towards the classroom door.

This move came so suddenly that it left Qi Jiu with a smile and two bewildered humans behind.

"He, they..."

Zhu Luoxing stared at the figure that had disappeared through the doorway, stammering slightly.

Everything happened so fast; I thought these two would have to wait until graduation to confess their feelings to each other.

Qi Jiu glanced at the liquid on the table and nodded in satisfaction.

"Forget about them. Have you finished preparing your medicine? Ask me if you don't understand anything. I'll teach you. They're dating, so I'll give you extra help."

"Thank you, Godfather!"

Once everything was over, noticing a slight movement, the girl subconsciously looked towards the laboratory door.

Qi Silin, dressed in a suit, was leaning against the door frame, looking at her with a smile on his lips.

He just waited patiently, without rushing or urging anyone.

In the brief moment their eyes met, they didn't say a word, but it was as if they had said everything.

The two left the lab side by side. It was lunchtime, and the campus was noticeably more crowded.

Qi Silin's suit was clearly out of place in this environment. He didn't care at all about the stares from others, his eyes were only on Qi Jiu.

"Why did you suddenly come to University A? Such a big deal, and Wei Huan is with you."

The girl extended her little finger and hooked it around the man's finger, a smile playing on her lips.

"We invested in your lab, and I'm here today to check things out."

Qi Jiu pursed her lips and looked up at him slightly. "But our pharmacy department is in a separate building, and we can't even use up all the space."

They only have a few people in pharmacy, and many classrooms in that building are still abandoned. It's like they didn't invest at all.

In the end, if there are no people around, won't it just be abandoned?

The man seemed to notice Qi Jiu's confusion and ran his large hand across her face.

"Of course it's not a simple laboratory. Many of the equipment in China is not as good as that abroad. After all, there aren't many pharmacists in China, so the conditions for training them are somewhat lacking."

There is a large population in China, that's undeniable. However, the profession of pharmacist is not like other professions where hard work necessarily brings rewards.

And without achieving anything, their future remains uncertain.

Just like hospitals don't hire students with regular undergraduate degrees.

This has led many people to give up on this profession altogether, or even to never include it in their studies from the beginning.

Qi Jiu understood, lowered her head and played with the man's large hand. Before she could say anything, she felt her wrist being suddenly grabbed and then she fell into a warm embrace.

Qi Jiu smelled the faint scent of mint, looked up at the man's chin, and was stunned.

Turning my head, I saw a disheveled figure leaving, looking like... Han Jiayin?

She walked quickly, shielding her face with her hand, while simultaneously noticing the students around her pointing and whispering.

Upon seeing this, Qi Silin chuckled, seemingly pleased. "Let her say my girlfriend belongs to someone else; this is the consequence of her spreading rumors."

There's a reason why people say "trouble comes from the mouth," and sometimes rumors spread unintentionally.

Meanwhile, Bai Liang, a professor of design, was at the China Design Association, looking at the rejection letter on his computer screen with a very unpleasant expression.

"Teacher, does this mean we've been rejected?"

Bai Liang's assistant, Song Lin, stood to the side, his expression not very pleasant either, and he looked at Bai Liang with a cautious gaze.

G didn't accept the invitations sent out before, and now the teacher's application to the guild has also been rejected. What kind of luck is this?
