Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 423
Chapter 423: So Pitiful
At this thought, Zhou Hong looked at the handful of people and smiled. He said to the senior, “Alright, I’ll submit the application. Are you coming with me?”
This was him helping them out.
The senior nodded.
After the senior left, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Xie Yingying looked at the other bun, then at Zhang Hao. She passed the other bun to him. “Thank you!”
Zhang Hao chuckled. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Haha, I’m really too hungry.”
Xie Yingying nodded and patted her chest, which had choked from eating too quickly. She then looked at Xue Xi and said, “Senior Zhou Hong is pretty good.”
Xue Xi nodded.
She recalled that after Bartra’s theory was proven, Feng Xingshen had asked her to write a thesis and publish it. She did not write it. At that time, Feng Xingshen found a senior to help her write it. That person seemed to be Zhou Hong?
What a pity.
Why did she remember it just now? If she had known earlier, she would have greeted him and thanked him in person.
Just as Zhang Hao was eating his bun, another senior walked in. He was wearing thick glasses and his eyes were fixed. He was holding some documents as he walked in.
The moment he entered, Zhang Hao was so frightened that he stuffed the bun into his mouth.
However, the bun had a smell and the room was still shrouded in a layer of fragrance.
The senior paused and looked at him. He was stunned and asked, “A freshman?”
Zhang Hao nodded and swallowed the bun before saying, “Senior, I’m sorry. I’m not eating anymore!”
That person’s hair was very messy, like a bird’s nest.
However, when he heard this, he did not do anything and only reminded him, “Eat quickly and don’t let the teacher see.”
Zhang Hao nodded.
The senior sat at the side and seemed to be waiting for someone.
With their senior here, they did not dare to speak anymore. They hurriedly lowered their heads and started calculating the numbers on their hands. Xie Yingying was the slowest. Xue Xi sat beside her and helped her.
When it was almost 2 PM, they completed the task and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
After placing the items on the table, Xie Yingying was in the mood to take out her phone to swipe. Just as she did so, she suddenly screamed and grabbed Xue Xi’s hand.
Xue Xi looked at her in surprise. “What’s wrong?”
Xie Yingying said, “Sister Xi, Xiao Bai is going to participate in a variety show!”
Xue Xi: “…Xiao Bai?”
“It’s Cen Bai!” Xie Yingying said. “That’s the Nation’s Husband, alright? No one I’ve seen hates him. All these years, he has always relied on his works to speak for him. This is his first time participating in a variety show!”
Xue Xi: “?”
An idea popped into her mind. “What variety show?”
“The Most Beautiful Girl, which is a talent show! He’ll be a mentor.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Indeed.
Cen Bai had never participated in variety shows. He’s participating now because of the chatterbox, right?
Xue Xi suddenly wanted to watch this show and asked, “When will the show start?”
Xie Yingying replied, “There’ll be two episodes a week, from this weekend onwards. Sister Xi, are you also a fan of Xiao Bai? I’ll watch it with you then!”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Just as Xie Yingying was about to continue gossiping, Zhang Hao coughed and shot a glance at the senior who had just entered.
The senior was staring at them.
His gaze was a little scary. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the senior suddenly asked, “Were you also called over by Mr. Guo to help?”
The five of them nodded.
The senior lowered his head. “How pitiful.”
The five of them: “?”
What’s there to pity?
Who’s pitiful?
Xie Yingying said, “Senior, are you talking about us?”
The senior looked up and stared at them. “Don’t follow him to do the project…”
Before he could finish speaking, footsteps sounded from the door. The senior seemed to have been frightened and shut his mouth.
Following that, Mr. Guo walked in. When he entered, he was still smiling. When he saw the senior, he was a little surprised. “Li Chun? You’re here! Wait a moment.”
After saying this, he looked at the five of them and smiled. “The five of you, I’ve already helped you submit your application. From now on, you don’t have to attend any classes, nor do you have to take any exams. You just have to do your best here! Do you understand?”
After he said that, the seniors in the laboratory returned one after another. Hence, under Mr. Guo’s arrangement, someone came over and threw them a bunch of data. “Calculate these.”
Xue Xi: “?”
She took a look at the data and realized that it was the basics again.
Moreover, there were only five of them, but they had given them a lot of things to calculate. Looking at the amount of calculations, Xue Xi did not have any problems. After all, she was not human.
However, the four others were already frowning. They were clearly going to work overtime here tonight!
Xue Xi frowned.
At first, Mr. Guo said that he wanted them to help. Why did it become that they were going to study here? One had to know that if one did not pass the professional class, they could not graduate…
Moreover, she did not come here to work for him for nothing, but to study.
Hence, Xue Xi asked, “Teacher, when can we come into contact with the core of the project?”
Mr. Guo’s expression did not change. He continued to smile. “You guys should work first. Only after you’ve settled the basic things can you learn more profound things. Moreover, I’m very busy here. The project is very urgent, and no one will teach you. When it’s no longer busy, we’ll talk about it again.”
Xue Xi: “!!”
She tensed up and knew that she had been cheated.
When Xue Xi just entered university, because her grades were too good, Ye Li was afraid that she would be used by others and taught her some things about teachers taking advantage of students.
Teachers were rich when it came to doing projects.
It was understandable for them to get students to help, but these graduate students were all paid. Moreover, they were doing jobs that could really be learned from.
However, what the five of them were doing now was no different from free labor. Moreover, when Mr. Guo said that he would teach them when he was free, it was clearly an excuse.
This Mr. Guo was enslaving them!
No wonder that senior said that they were pitiful.
Xue Xi immediately said, “Teacher, I feel that I haven’t finished learning the basics yet, so I’d better continue with my class and study! I don’t think I can do the things here.”
Mr. Guo’s face darkened. “This application has just been approved. It can’t be changed.”
Xue Xi’s eyes changed as she slowly asked, “How can it not be changed?!”
Mr. Guo said sinisterly, “The application is very troublesome. It has to be submitted to the hospital and Professor Feng Xingshen has to personally sign it. You want to change it back? Sure, go look for Professor Feng yourself!”
Feng Xingshen was engrossed in scientific research and had left the rest to him. Why would he bother with a mere freshman?!
“…”
