Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1517
Chapter 1517: Prof Rong Treated Her Quite Differently
Li Chenhui’s face instantly cracked up.
He naturally knew that his teacher was a very astute man and trusted his instincts. If his teacher had picked a student from a different faculty to be his disciple, she must be brilliant.
Huo Yao did not know what Li Chenhui was thinking. When he went into a daze, she could not help clearing her throat and asking. “Hello?”
Li Chenhui snapped out of his thoughts and enquired politely. “Are you doing a double major?”
!!
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao did not plan on telling the entire truth so as not to embarrass Prof Rong. She did not want to do a double major initially, but Prof Rong insisted.
Complicated emotions flooded Li Chenhui’s heart. “Does this mean you don’t attend classes in the Physics department?”
Otherwise, it was impossible for her to go unnoticed.
Huo Yao nodded helplessly. “Well, I don’t have time to do it.”
After all, she felt more motivated by projects with monetary rewards.
Li Chenhui went quiet for a couple of seconds and asked again. “Is our teacher okay with it?”
His little junior sister inhaled deeply. “Sigh! So far so good.”
Huo Yao shrugged powerlessly. Sometimes, she wished Prof Rong would kick her out of the department for her lousy attendance, but nothing of the sort had happened till date.
She looked powerless and really wished that Prof Rong had a problem with her. Li Chenhui’s lips twitched when he caught her reaction and did not know what to say.
For a moment there, he had doubts if they were still talking about the same professor.
Prof Rong was a strict perfectionist, so he did not give his students much freedom.
Huo Yao cleared her throat before she lowered her head and drank her tea obediently.
Li Chenhui glanced at her. He doubted Prof Rong would have the heart to be strict with a sweet girl like her.
He could not help wondering how smart she was.
Before long, the waiter finished serving all the food.
The two of them chatted as they ate.
Li Chenhui looked sophisticated. After some interaction, she could tell he was genuinely a refined young man.
Huo Yao had a good impression of him.
After they were nearly done with dinner, Huo Yao went to the bathroom. When she was done, she went over to the cashier and produced a card.
The moment the employee saw the card, he promptly stood up and asked excitedly. “Are you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Yao raised her hand and stopped him. The employee swallowed his words abruptly.
When Huo Yao got back to the booth, Li Chenhui was still busy texting his little junior brothers. He was bragging about his dinner appointment with his little junior sister enthusiastically.
He was stunned by the double standards Prof Rong had for Huo Yao. After getting an envious reaction from his little junior brothers, he finally felt a little better.
Sure enough, it was a good idea to share the news with someone and it certainly made him feel a lot happier.
Li Chenhui got up to settle the bill. Huo Yao wanted to stop him. Since he had already left, she stopped trying.
Her phone happened to ring, so she took it out and checked it.
It was an anonymous phone number.
She tapped on the phone screen before answering it.
After hearing what the caller said, Huo Yao’s eyes turned cool even though she remained calm.
She changed her phone to computer mode and tapped in the air quickly. A flashing red dot promptly appeared on her screen.
When Li Chenhui got to the cashier, he realized that someone had already settled the cheque, so he turned back. He recalled his teacher mentioning that Huo Yao did not come from a rich family. “I wanted to buy you dinner…”
He stopped mid-sentence when he caught a virtual image popping up above Huo Yao’s phone. He opened his eyes in surprise and promptly forgot what he was saying.
