2040 A Project That Even Xie Xinyao Is Not Qualified to Join

Xue Zhu was stunned for a moment before understanding dawned on her. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she immediately waved her hand and denied, “Senior Brother Cao, you’ve misunderstood. Qiao Nian isn’t angry.”

Cao Yanhua looked at her. “Then why didn’t she come today?”

“That’s…” Xue Zhu paused, not knowing how to explain the complicated situation in the morning.

Coupled with the fact that there were many people in the Level 8 laboratory, it wasn’t convenient for her to talk about Xu Yi here, so she could only explain vaguely.

“She came to the research institute in the morning, but because of an emergency, she had to leave. I don’t know if she’ll come in the afternoon. In short, she’s not angry about yesterday’s small matter.”

Cao Yanhua was confused. Fortunately, he caught the main point. “What emergency? Did something happen?”

“No.” Xue Zhu noticed that someone was already looking in their direction. She kept a certain distance from Cao Yanhua and stuck out her tongue mischievously, changing the topic. “Senior Brother Cao, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going next door.”

“Xue…” Xue Zhu ran away before Cao Yanhua could stop her.

It was as if she was afraid that he wouldn’t let her go.

Cao Yanhua was caught between laughter and tears. He could only watch her run away.

Xie Xinyao had walked to his side at some point in time. Seeing Xue Zhu’s disappearing back, she frowned and complained, “She really can’t take any hardship. It’s only been a few experiments, but she can’t take it anymore and wants to rest!”

Cao Yanhua retracted his gaze and returned to his mature self. “I’ll continue with that experiment. The mentor wants to see it tomorrow.”

“Yes.” Xie Xinyao knew that he was talking about a semiconductor experiment.

This was currently the largest project of the Level 8 laboratory.

Xie Xinyao and the others weren’t qualified to join.

For the time being, only Cao Yanhua was helping Shi Fu.

Of course, Xie Xinyao was jealous. However, Cao Yanhua was more experienced than her, and his overall ability was stronger than hers in all aspects.

She could only feel sour inside and not show it on her face.

However, Xie Xinyao was still very interested in such a big experimental project. Coincidentally, Cao Yanhua mentioned it. She said casually, “Senior Brother Cao, has the mentor not been in the laboratory recently because of the experimental project?”

“Yeah.”

They were all from the same laboratory, so Cao Yanhua didn’t hide it from her. “We encountered a difficult problem during the progress of the project. The mentor went to look for the dean.”

The dean he was talking about was naturally the dean of the First Research Institute, Feng Yu.

Xie Xinyao didn’t dare to ask further. She stopped while she was ahead and began to calculate if she had a chance to join the project.

On the other side.

Xue Zhu walked out of the range of the Level 8 laboratory and received a message from Qiao Nian.

[Q: Xu Yi is fine.]

Xue Zhu looked at the short message on her phone and wished she could see a flower. She scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously, wanting to ask what was going on.

She, Shen Qingfeng, and Xu Yi had created a small group before Qiao Nian came. Later on, Qiao Nian joined their group.

Xue Zhu was afraid that it wouldn’t be good for her to rashly ask in the group chat.

She opened the three-person group that she hadn’t used for a long time and tagged Xu Yi.

[Zhu Yuan Yu Run: Xu Yi, are you alright? @Xu Yi]

[Zhu Yuan Yu Run: Are you guys coming to the research institute this afternoon?]

[Zhu Yuan Yu Run: Senior Brother Cao even specially asked about Qiao Nian today. Who knows if she’ll come in the afternoon?]
