Chapter 425: The Student Elder Feng Hates?
The sound of sobbing echoed in the corridor, bringing with it an inexplicable sadness.
Xue Xi paused. “Why?”
Li Chun lowered his head and wiped his tears. He seemed a little embarrassed. He took a deep breath and rubbed his hair in frustration. “I can’t pass the thesis.”
Can’t pass the thesis?
Xue Xi was stunned. The students that Mr. Guo had called to the laboratory to do the project were all the best students, but such students could not be set up?
Just as she was about to continue asking, footsteps suddenly sounded behind her. Mr. Guo’s voice sounded. “Li Chun?”
Li Chun trembled in fear.
Before he could speak to Xue Xi again, he opened the door and walked out. “I’m here.”
Mr. Guo walked over.
He did not see Xue Xi at first, so his expression was ugly and his eyes were a little dark. “Why are you hiding here? Aren’t you going to work?”
Li Chun: “Mr. Guo, just let me pass the thesis…”
Mr. Guo sneered. “What’s the hurry? Let’s finish this project first. What’s the big deal with delaying your graduation? It’s not like I’m not giving you a chance to graduate. Help me do some more work…”
Just as he said this, he turned around and saw Xue Xi. His voice instantly stopped.
Mr. Guo smiled as though his face had changed. “Xue Xi? You’re here too?”
He patted Li Chun on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Your thesis hasn’t been fully researched yet. You do indeed need to study it again. It’s not that I don’t want to let you pass, but it’s my fault for passing it to you without knowing the reason. Alright, I’ll help you take a look at the thesis. Go back to work first.”
Li Chun hesitated before lowering his head and walking forward.
After he left, Xue Xi turned to look at Mr. Guo.
Mr. Guo still had a smile on his face, hiding the gloominess on his skinny face. He touched his glasses and slowly said, “Xue Xi, why did you come out instead of working hard?”
Xue Xi’s eyes turned cold as she stared at Mr. Guo. She suddenly said, “Are we not allowed to have lunch in the laboratory and not even allowed to come out?”
Mr. Guo instantly smiled. “How can that be? Go!”
Xue Xi nodded and entered the washroom.
After doing her business, she picked up her phone and realized that the little cutie Qian Zheng had sent her a message: “Ah ah ah ah ah, Sister Xi, I’m dying! How can there be such a double-headed dog man in the world?!”
Xue Xi replied: “?”
Little Cutie: “When I was studying with him, he would be fierce to me whenever I was distracted. He even said nasty things to mock me. Sob, he even said that my intelligence is not enough!”
Xue Xi: “And?”
The little cutie sent her a screenshot of a chat message:
Little Cutie: “I’m a little busy today, so I won’t meet you for now. Wuwuwu, I met an art teacher. I don’t know how to do what he wants, but his words are crafty.”
Yuan: “Which teacher is so unethical? If Little Cutie doesn’t know how to, can’t he just patiently teach you? If it were me, I would definitely speak nicely. I also have some understanding of painting. If you don’t understand, I’ll teach you again tonight, alright?”
After the chat screenshot, the little cutie sent a message: “Sister Xi, did you see that? He treats his girlfriend so well, but he’s so fierce to me!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Aren’t they both you?
The corners of her lips twitched. Fu Yuanxiu is forcing you to acknowledge him. If you become his girlfriend, you will definitely be treated better.
Just as Xue Xi was thinking about how to reply to the little cutie, she had already reached the laboratory.
Just as she reached the door, she sensed that there was something amiss with the four people inside.
She paused and looked up. She saw Xie Yingying and Zhang Hao looking at her in surprise while the other two boys were looking at her with hostility and disdain.
Xue Xi: “?”
Just as she was feeling perplexed, the boy said, “Someone was just saying that she didn’t want to do the project here, but now she’s trying to get into Mr. Guo’s good books. Some people are really one thing on the surface but something else on the inside!”
“That’s right. I really couldn’t tell that you were actually such a person. Moreover, you calculated quickly yourself. Why did you drag us down?!”
Xue Xi: “?”
She was stunned when she heard Xie Yingying say, “Mr. Guo came just now. After reading your calculations, he said that you’re really fast. It seems that we have to follow your pace so he assigned more missions. Hence, he gave us double the missions.”
Zhang Hao was about to cry. “Sister Xi, I know you calculate quickly, but we have to work overtime. He even doubled it and said that we must finish it by tomorrow morning at 9 AM. Otherwise, it will delay the entire project. We’ll not sleep tonight!”
Xue Xi: “!!!!”
When did she say that she wanted more missions assigned?!
She frowned. “I didn’t say that.”
The two boys immediately said, “If you didn’t say anything, how would Mr. Guo know that you’d finished calculating? Moreover, how can a teacher like him slander you? If Mr. Guo hadn’t let it slip, we wouldn’t have known that you were actually such a person. It’s fine if you want to please the teacher, but do you have to drag us down with you? Do you want us to serve as a foil to your intelligence?”
“We admit that we’re inferior to you. It’s fine if you came at us openly, but what’s the use of being so secretive?”
Xue Xi: “…”
Zhang Hao said, “Alright, stop talking. Hurry up and calculate. Otherwise, you won’t be able to finish calculating even if you stay up late.”
The other two boys glared at Xue Xi and lowered their heads to calculate.
Xue Xi shot Xie Yingying a glance and the two of them quietly left the laboratory. Xie Yingying said, “Sister Xi, you didn’t say that to the teacher, right?”
Xue Xi shook her head.
Xie Yingying pouted. “When I heard those words, I knew it wasn’t you who said it. You’re so low-profile. Mr. Guo must hate you for saying that you don’t want to do the project and that you’re going back to the classroom!”
Xue Xi frowned.
Xie Yingying was a little anxious. “Sister Xi, be careful. Last time, you offended Professor Feng Xingshen overseas. If this matter gets out, it won’t be good for you. Also, that Mr. Guo, don’t be disqualified in the end!”
Xue Xi paused. “Huh? I didn’t offend Teaches Math.”
Xie Yingying: “…”
Listening to this form of address, it was obvious that Sister Xi did not know that she had offended someone.
She sighed heavily. “Forget it, Sister Xi. Let’s go back and calculate. You calculate fast, but I’m slow! I’m probably going to stay up late tonight.”
Xue Xi: “…I’ll help you.”
The two of them entered the laboratory, but they did not see Mr. Guo around the corner. He’d heard their conversation.
He raised an eyebrow.
So Xue Xi had not only offended him, but also Director Feng?
This was hilarious.
He lowered his head to look at the project book in his hands and shook his head with a smile.
He then left the laboratory and walked toward the office building.
The project was coming to an end and Feng Xingshen had to sign it. When he arrived, he entered the director’s office. In his office, there was a wall filled with blackboards. At this moment, he had one hand behind his back and was writing something on the blackboard with a chalk.
Mr. Guo asked him to sign. He casually took a glance and used his dusty hand to pick up the pen to sign. He then anxiously started to check on the blackboard with the chalk again.
Mr. Guo looked at his back and suddenly smiled. “Elder Feng, the student you hate is in our class. Coincidentally, she’s also on my project.”
When Feng Xingshen heard this, he was slightly taken aback. “A detestable student? Who?”
