Chapter 463: Rub Your Hands
Xie Yingying and Li Zixia held their breaths.
Xue Xi slowly said, “Because that club made a statement.”
After saying that, she passed her phone to the two of them and realized that there was indeed a thread on the school’s intranet. The thread wrote that Gu Yunqing had been chased out of the mysterious club and that she was no longer a member.
Initiated by: The founder of the club, Rabbit.
The two of them were stunned. Immediately, Xie Yingying said, “Could this be fake?”
Before Xue Xi could think of a way to explain that this was true, Li Zixia hurriedly shook her head. “No!”
Xie Yingying: “Why?”
Li Zixia: “…Think about it. If this is fake, given the club’s nature, this thread would have been hacked a long time ago. The poster’s computer would probably be nothing more than a brick then!”
Xie Yingying: “…”
She suddenly felt that it made sense!
Xue Xi: “…”
She silently put away her phone. Alright, there was no need to explain anymore.
Just as she was about to put down her phone and pick up her book to read, she received a WeChat message:
Deng He: “Sister Xi, I’m going to your school to give a speech tomorrow.”
Xue Xi: “?”
Deng He was the R & D Chemist of Xue Sheng’s new pharmaceutical company. He was the director of the R & D department. Back in Bin City, after Xue Xi went to the company and developed the nerve acid, she’d told him the steps of the R & D process. The subsequent drug experiments and ratios were all done by Deng He.
However, why was Deng He coming to Huaxia University?
Deng He replied to her: “The medicine has already gone through the last stage of the experiment. Our company’s confidentiality has finally come to an end and the medicine can be used on the human body! Hence, we applied for a patent this week. Huaxia University heard that our company has developed nerve acid and insisted on inviting me to give a speech. After all, this is a huge leap in the pharmaceutical industry!”
So that’s how it was.
Huaxia University had always been the top research and development center in the country. They must also be paying attention to the top technology in various industries. It was not surprising that they invited him over.
However, what Xue Xi was more concerned about was: “Is the drug listed? Can the company finally get on the right track?”
Deng He: “Yes, but the boss has yet to announce it to the public. We plan to announce this on Huaxia University’s forum tomorrow. It will attract more attention and reaction. Do you want to come?”
Xue Xi: “Okay.”
After chatting with Deng He, Xue Xi could not help but think that Xue Sheng was simply a miserly person. In order to not use the money in her card, he was simply being unscrupulous.
The lecture at Huaxia University tomorrow would definitely attract the attention of the academic world. By then, there would definitely be reporters coming. Wasn’t that free publicity?
Xue Xi shook her head. At this moment, her phone rang.
She took a look and picked it up. Xiang Huai’s voice came from the other end. “How was it after the call?”
Xue Xi sat up straight. “It’s alright.”
Xiang Huai: “Mhm. Did you use your hands to hit others?”
Xue Xi: “Nonsense.”
Xiang Huai continued smiling. “Then, does your hand hurt?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Xiang Huai was still as shameless as ever. “Do you need me to rub it for you?”
Xue Xi: “!!”
She was stunned. “How can you rub it for me?”
Xiang Huai: “Come out.”
Come out…
Xue Xi’s eyes lit up. She stood up and said indifferently, “Oh.”
However, she was not slow to put on her shoes. She then opened the door and rushed out.
In the dormitory, Xie Yingying and Li Zixia: “?”
The two of them looked at each other and Li Zixia’s lips twitched. “A woman in love. Sigh! Isn’t it good for Sister Xi to focus on her career? Isn’t dating a waste of time?”
Xie Yingying: “…You’re right!”
Both of them turned to look at the books on her table. Sister Xi was saying that she wanted to finish reading these books this week, right?
…
Xue Xi hung up. When she walked out of the dormitory, she coincidentally saw Xiang Huai standing in front. He had both hands in his pockets and was standing casually.
The man was wearing a black hoodie, and his facial features were well-defined. He was tall and skinny like a cypress tree. His figure was tall and straight, as though he could break out of the ground no matter what kind of harsh environment he was in. Such a person was tough yet lonely.
Just as she was about to leave, the man slowly turned around. His long and sharp eyes instantly softened when he caught sight of her.
The distance between them suddenly disappeared.
Xue Xi deliberately slowed down and walked to him step by step. She pretended to be indifferent and said, “Why are you here?”
Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow. “I’m here to rub my girlfriend’s hands.”
After saying that, he grabbed Xue Xi’s hand.
Xue Xi took a step back, retracted her hand, and looked around.
Xiang Huai smiled. “Why, are you shy?”
“How can that be?” Xue Xi, who had always been thick-skinned and slow-witted, felt her cheeks burn. She purposely changed the topic. “…If you come here every two days, those who don’t know might think that you’re staying here!”
Xiang Huai smiled. “That’s a good idea. I’ll wait and see. Where can I find a suitable room?”
Xue Xi: “…”
Xiang Huai looked at the time. “Shall we have dinner tonight?”
Xue Xi nodded.
The two of them walked out.
Whenever Xiang Huai came to look for her, the two of them would usually eat at the canteen. When he and Xue Xi walked to the canteen, she casually said, “Every time you come, I treat you.”
Xiang Huai nodded. “Mhm. After all, I’m a gigolo.”
Xue Xi: “…”
This guy is really used to being called a gigolo!
However, she still smiled and did not speak.
Xiang Huai, on the other hand, looked at the gazes around him. He raised an eyebrow and held Xue Xi’s hand possessively.
There was no choice.
Huaxia University was too big. If he did not accompany the little kid to eat a few times at the canteen, how could he let everyone know that the little kid had a boyfriend?
With so many pairs of eyes staring at her, he was really going to die.
Sigh, a girlfriend who is too outstanding is annoying.
The two of them entered the canteen and went to the window to get some food. When they were done, Xue Xi felt the gazes of the people around her as she ate.
Xue Xi: “?”
She was a little confused. Although there would be more people sizing them up when she and Xiang Huai ate together, it had never been like today.
Just as she was thinking this, Xie Yingying and Li Zixia arrived at the canteen. When they saw Xue Xi, the two of them could not be bothered about disturbing them and walked over.
Li Zixia looked a little anxious. “Sister Xi, is your company the Li Sheng Pharmaceutical Company?”
Xue Xi: “…Yes. Why?”
Li Zixia instantly looked at her phone. There was a thread on her phone and the name of the thread was: #Li Sheng Pharmaceuticals Bankruptcy#
She and Xie Yingying looked at each other and could not speak.
