Bai Youwei led people out and found that something was clearly amiss.
“What happened?” She looked at Li Li, then at Yan Qingwen with a smirk, “Did you guys have a fight?”
“No. We just talked about something.” Yan Qingwen asked with a smile, “Why, are you hoping for us to have a fight?”
“I do.” Bai Youwei candidly said, “It’s clear you guys aren’t on the same page. It’s strange if you didn’t argue when you’re together~”
“You!…” Li Li was furious.
“Did I say anything wrong?” Bai Youwei looked at him confusedly. “You guys weren’t on the same page to begin with. If it weren’t for Yan Qingwen entering the maze to save you, you wouldn’t even have crossed paths.”
Li Li ground his teeth and shot back at her: “Then you, Shen Mo, Tan Xiao, Mr. Cheng, and Pan Xiaoxin aren’t on the same page either! You guys are…”
He childishly held up a hand with all five fingers spread, stressing, “You guys are five-page people!”
“Haha!” Bai Youwei laughed, “So what if we are five-page people? At least we have a common goal now. What about you guys? Do you have one?”
Li Li’s face turned a mix of green and white at her comment, an expression of utter discomfort!
Lun Ang patted his shoulder sympathetically and said, “You’d better argue with Su Man, don’t argue with her, you won’t win.”
“Who’s arguing! I was just reasoning with her!” Li Li shook off Lun Ang’s hand, stood tall and continued forward. “Come on! The banquet is about to start!”
Tan Xiao clucked his tongue and said, “Mr. Four Eyes is not to be trifled with.”
Li Li clenched his fists and swallowed his anger, he chose not to argue with him and kept going forward.
It seemed that today was just not his day, having his invitation rejected by his companions, and then dealing with a quarrelsome Su Man.
Just because he supported a female colleague who was about to fall, Su Man made a big fuss about it. In the end, it took Yan Qingwen and Lun Ang’s intervention to calm her down.
And it didn’t stop there.
When they got to the headquarters, he led a group to meet Professor Song, but was stopped by the security team. No matter how he explained, they refused to let him pass!
Li Li felt disgraced!
“How many times do I need to explain this?!” He said angrily, “I’m Li Li from the SCO Research Group! I’m Professor Song’s research assistant! I left my pass at the dorm!”
He pointed to the security guards behind him. “Don’t you recognize them?! All of them can vouch for me!”
The security guard glanced at the people behind Li Li and said sternly, “Professor Song just convened an emergency meeting. Anyone without a pass is not allowed near the conference center. If you insist on going in, I need to ask for higher-level permission.”
Li Li said irritably, “Then go ahead and ask!”
The security guard took out his walkie-talkie and said a few brief words.
About three minutes later, a woman in a brown combat suit appeared at the front of the corridor. She had short hair, slightly tanned skin. Even though she didn’t say a word, her sharp eyes showed she is not someone to mess with.
“Leader! This man insisted on going in. He claimed to be Professor Song’s assistant and said that Professor Song asked him to bring people over, but he did not have a pass. The people behind him are security guards assigned by the research team.”
The woman in the combat suit frowned at Li Li and said coldly, “The meeting is not over yet. Let the men in, but the women and the old man will have to wait outside.”
“Why?!” Su Man was the first to object, “When you invited us, you sure didn’t have this attitude! Why can men go in, but women can’t?!”
“Why?” The woman sneered and took two steps towards Su Man.
She was tall and towered over Su Man, who’s just five feet seven, by half a head. She looked down at her contemptuously:
“Let me tell you why
Because a clamoring, noisy woman like you belongs in a marketplace or a dance hall, not here, at the conference center.”
