Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 342
Chapter 342: Flattery!
Xie Yingying: “?”
She stood rooted to the ground.
What’s going on?
While she was in a daze, she saw Professor Thor speaking as though he was afraid that Xue Xi would reject him. “Scanford is the world’s most important research university. Your talent can only be recognized and acknowledged there. Think about it carefully.”
He then turned to look at Xie Yingying, who was standing beside Xue Xi, and smiled. “Is this also your friend?”
Xue Xi nodded when she saw her.
Thor stood up and extended his hand to Xie Yingying. “Hello, I’m Thor.”
Xie Yingying: “?”
The university professor who was so out of reach just now actually took the initiative to shake hands with her?
This was simply too much!
After the two of them shook hands, Thor turned to look at Xue Xi again. “Have you considered it?”
Ever since she’d heard Thor speak, Xue Xi had had only one word to say. At this moment, it was still that word. “… No.”
She came to Country M just for an examination, but Ye Li would already call her every day and ask after her many times over the phone.
Moreover, their family’s assets in Bin City had already been transferred to the capital.
At that time, Ye Li’s advice to Xue Sheng was: “… The child has been gone for 18 years and didn’t live with us. We’ve only been together for a year and I haven’t had enough time with my daughter! If we move with her to the capital, my daughter can go home every weekend. I can also visit her often at school and accompany her to university for four years. She can study for three years and pursue a doctorate…”
Xiang Huai interrupted her. “There’ll be no problems, Uncle. Although the capital is huge, there are many opportunities there.”
He could not let her speak further.
It had been seven years since he’d reached maturity. If Xue Xi continued to study, he would be 35 years old and still be unable to form a family with the little kid, right?
Xue Sheng had always been doing business in Bin City. He actually had no idea why he had to transfer to the capital, but since Xiang Huai had said as much, he thought of Ye Li’s words and instantly made up his mind. For my daughter, I’ll move away!
Her family had moved for her. If she were to go to Scanford University, would her family have to move the company again?
Moreover, when she only came to Country M to participate in the written examination yet was put in a spot by the Math Olympiad staff, Xue Xi realized that no matter how good it was overseas, it was inferior to being in her own country.
Because everyone here was being excluded.
As for studying, where could she not study? At least, from her point of view, she could learn enough in China. She did not feel that Huaxia University was inferior to Scanford University!
Seeing that Xue Xi was so determined, Thor became even more anxious.
He could not let go of such a chemistry talent. However, he had been trying to persuade her for a long time, and on top of that, the goddess must be despising him.
So Thor said, “Why don’t we exchange contact details? You can consider it and discuss it with your family. If you change your mind, you can call me.”
Xue Xi really did not want to give it to him, but when she saw that, despite how old he was, he was blocking her here and that the old man was very humorous, she could only helplessly say, “… Alright.”
Thor then said, “Then I’ll take my leave.”
When he walked out, Liang Gan, who had witnessed the whole process, was still in a daze. When she realized that Thor was about to disappear at the door, she chased after him. “Professor Thor, I’ll send you off.”
After the two of them left, Xie Yingying was still standing there and looking at Xue Xi in disbelief. “Xue… Xue Xi, do you know who you rejected just now?”
Xue Xi: “… Mhm, I know.”
Xie Yingying: “?”
Then why did you reject him? Do you know how many people want to be his student but can’t? How can you lose 100 million?
However, this was Xue Xi’s choice. Xie Yingying felt that she should not interfere, so she swallowed her words.
On the other hand, Qin Shuang said, “You scared me to death. Sister Xi, I thought you were going to leave with him. If you had, we all won’t be able to stay in the capital!”
Flame Number One: “That’s right. Moreover, looking at this old man, is he really the best professor in his field? Why do I feel that he looks like a human trafficker?! He looked at Sister Xi as though he was looking at gold!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Just as they were about to speak, they heard a voice. “Why are you guys still here?”
They turned around and saw that the four boys who had just gone to buy food for Thor had returned. The boy walking in front was called Zhang Hao, and he was holding two pizzas in his hands.
He was also the one who had rushed to pay just now and planned to perform well in front of Thor and Liang Gan.
However, he’d had to wait for a long time for the pizzas to be cooked, and he had rushed back so that Professor Thor could have a warm meal.
But… what about the professor?
Zhang Hao glanced at the sofa and saw that Liang Gan and the professor had already disappeared. He instantly frowned and his gaze landed on Xue Xi. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the few people standing behind Xue Xi and swallowed his words.
He picked on the easy target and started to scold Xie Yingying. “What’s wrong with you? Since Ms. Liang doesn’t like you, why did you come down? Did you anger Professor Thor so they left?”
Xie Yingying, who was still in a daze: “?”
She was furious. “Zhang Hao, what are you saying?”
Zhang Hao was extremely anxious. Although he also felt that Liang Gan was too harsh on the two girls, at this time, he could not care less about others. He only wanted to get to know Professor Thor. After all, if he applied to be a graduate student at Scanford University in the future, any teacher could possibly be Professor Thor’s former student. If he could get that teacher to put in a word for him, his admission would be almost certain.
Hence, Zhang Hao had already changed his attitude. He mocked, “If it weren’t for you guys, how could he have left before he even ate the pizza I bought for the professor?”
Xie Yingying was so angry that her hands were trembling. She said angrily, “Bootlicker!”
Zhang Hao was also angered by this word. “If I’m a bootlicker, what about you? Let me ask you, don’t you want to know Professor Thor? If you didn’t want to know him, why did you stay downstairs for half an hour when Ms. Liang Gan clearly asked you to go upstairs? It’s because you didn’t have Ms. Liang Gan’s recommendation and Professor Thor ignored you that you had to leave! If Professor Thor were to pay attention to you, you’d be even more of a bootlicker than I am! Unfortunately, you don’t even have the chance to do any bootlicking!”
Xie Yingying: “!”
Her eyes were red from anger. Just as she was about to say something, Li Xuekai suddenly said, “Stop quarreling. Professor Thor is back again!”
Hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately turned around and saw Thor coming back with Liang Gan’s support.
Zhang Hao’s face lit up. He went up to him and said ingratiatingly, “Professor, here is your pizza…”
Before he could finish speaking, Professor Thor walked past him and approached Xie Yingying.
