Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 432
Chapter 432: Who Are You?
The rest of the people in the room were stunned when they saw her actions.
Xie Yingying spoke first. “Sister Xi, what are you doing? Do you know Director Feng?”
But how could that be?!
Didn’t Director Feng have a problem with Sister Xi?
However—
Xie Yingying then turned to look at the senior. “Senior, are you sure you still want to force us? If you still want to be like this, Sister Xi will make a call!”
The senior was at first stunned, then she sneered. “Call? Sure, make a call. I’ll see who you can call! Why are you putting on a show here? Do you think that I’ll be afraid of you just because you took out your WeChat in order to pretend?”
When Mr. Guo gave her instructions, he had said that Xue Xi had offended Director Feng during the IMO examination and they had to teach her a lesson.
Hence, she was certain that Xue Xi could not seek out Director Feng.
Xie Yingying panicked.
She felt that Sister Xi’s actions just now should have been enough to scare this senior, so she’d cooperated temporarily. But why didn’t this senior fall for it?
Xue Xi found this argument boring. She pressed her finger on the voice message button and was about to call Feng Xingshen when a voice suddenly came from the door. “What happened?”
The handful of people turned around and saw Zhou Hong, who was dressed simply and cleanly, at the door.
Zhou Hong, Feng Xingshen’s student, could also be considered as his disciple.
He was holding a document in his hand, and it was obvious that he was here to handle some matters. He swept his gaze around and it finally landed on the senior. “Why are you guys quarreling? I could hear your argument as soon as I arrived on the third floor.”
When the senior saw Zhou Hong, she became even more smug. She immediately said, “Senior Zhou, you came at the right time. These freshmen are here to help with the project in lieu of getting academic credits, but now, they are being picky about the work. Whenever they are asked to calculate something, they will chatter and grumble. The quality of the students nowadays is really terrible. Back then, just being able to join the project and do research and development with the teachers made us so excited that we could not sleep or eat!”
When Zhou Hong heard this, he smiled and explained gently, “It’s a little boring to do a project. One has to be patient.”
The senior did not wait for them to speak and immediately said fiercely, “Did you hear that? Who doesn’t make their start as a freshman? We all went through this back then!”
That was indeed how they had survived.
However, other teachers would not exploit the students like Mr. Guo did. Moreover, other teachers would also give the students some knowledge to learn when they were doing the project so that the students would feel that they gained something by joining. Hence, they would not have any objections even if they working on the project for free.
However, this senior was already used to being oppressed. It’s similar to how, in the old society, after a daughter-in-law had been put through difficulties by her mother-in-law, she would then want to make things difficult for her own daughter-in-law to relieve the grievances in her heart.
To her, bullying a freshman was an unusual joy.
Just as Xie Yingying was about to speak, the senior pointed at Xue Xi and said, “And this student over here, Senior. She actually said that she knows Director Feng and wants to call him to complain! What a joke. Why do all sorts of cats and dogs know Director Feng nowadays? Don’t you know that Director Feng is engrossed in scientific research and doesn’t care about the school’s matters this semester? He’s doing a huge project! That kind of project is not something you guys can disturb over such a small matter!”
When Zhou Hong heard this, he paused and looked at Xue Xi. “You know my teacher?”
Before Xue Xi could react, the senior sneered. “Aren’t you just bragging and trying to escape from work?! If you don’t want to take the exams in class and just take it easy in the laboratory, Mr. Guo won’t be calculative with you. But you also don’t want to work in the laboratory. How can you have your cake and eat it too? Why are you guys so precious?”
Everyone: “…”
Xie Yingying’s eyes turned red. “Senior, why are you always being personal? Also, when did we slack off?”
She pointed at the three boys. “They calculated overnight last night and didn’t sleep until today’s class. They lay there for a while and came here again. What else do you want?!”
The senior sneered. “Don’t you girls know why they had to work overtime? Who asked you to leave at 7 PM? If you’d helped them, would they have to work overtime?”
Xie Yingying: “?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Why was this person so unreasonable?!
Xie Yingying pointed at the thick stack of papers on the table and said, “But today’s mission is even more important. You’re making things difficult for us!”
The senior sneered. “All of you are focused on your work. But look into your conscience, can you really not finish it? Why don’t I believe you?! Isn’t someone here very formidable?”
Xie Yingying: “!!!”
If Sister Xi did not eat or drink, it would be fine.
But while Sister Xi was formidable, that did not mean that she could be made into the scapegoat for bullying and forcing them.
Xie Yingying’s chest heaved up and down in anger. She felt as though her lungs were about to explode.
At this moment, Xue Xi said, “Senior, you can take a look at these calculations.”
She directly opened the tasks that the senior had assigned to them and showed them to Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong was also stunned.
He was only Feng Xingshen’s student and actually did not care about anything. Although everyone would respect him and listen to his opinions, he would still maintain his status and not criticize other projects. This was basic respect.
This was Mr. Guo’s project. Logically speaking, he should not have interfered.
Just as he was about to decline, he lowered his head and was stunned.
Five people, yet so many calculations?
Zhou Hong was also in charge of a project. He could tell at a glance that this was indeed making things difficult for them.
He frowned and looked at the senior. His voice sank. “There are indeed too many.”
His face darkened and the senior was instantly frightened. She stuttered as she looked at Xue Xi. Finally, she bit her lip and suddenly said, “No, Senior, these calculations are indeed too much for a normal person, but there’s someone abnormal in this group!”
She pointed at Xue Xi and said, “For example, this person is a student who scored full marks in the IMO. I heard that she also scored full marks in the college entrance examination. She even admitted it personally yesterday. She calculated very quickly and finished half of the calculations in two hours. The reason she’s dragging it out now is because she doesn’t want to work… The capable do more work. These things are really not too much for her!”
Zhou Hong was stunned. “No…”
He looked at Xue Xi in surprise and recalled what the junior had said earlier. A perfect score for the IMO and a perfect score for the college entrance examination. Isn’t this Sister Xi?!
He asked, “Who are you?”
“Xue Xi.”
Xue Xi extended her hand to Zhou Hong. “Senior, thank you for helping me organize my thesis.”
Zhou Hong: “!!!!!”
