Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 813

Chapter 813: Restricted Access

Huo Yao sent out a text message and then continued standing outside the lift for about five minutes, but she did not hear back from Rong Jun.

That was quite strange.

Yi Feiyu looked at her. “Hasn’t Prof Rong replied yet?

Huo Yao nodded.

“Maybe he is busy. Just give him a few more minutes,” said Yi Feiyu patiently.

“Uh huh.”

The two of them stood in front of the lift for about five to six more minutes, but to no avail. A teacher from the Physics department happened to walk by.

Yi Feiyu hurriedly nodded reverently when he saw him. “Hi, Mr. Wu.”

Wu Yue was holding a stack of documents in his hands. He acknowledged gently when he heard someone greeting him. He glanced at Huo Yao and Yi Feiyu and entered the lift without stopping and swiped his access card.

When the door opened, Wu Yue got into the lift.

Yi Feiyu watched from behind as Wu Yue went in. He suddenly recalled that Wu Yue had access to the fifth floor, so he hurriedly stopped him before the door closed. “One moment, please.”

Wu Yue automatically raised his head and glanced at Yi Feiyu. Yi Feiyu hurriedly explained. “Mr. Wu, can you take her to Prof Rong’s office?”

Yi Feiyu pointed at Huo Yao standing outside the lift and continued. “She is a freshman. Prof Rong asked her to go to the office, but we don’t have access to the fifth floor.”

The moment Wu Yue heard this, he looked at Huo Yao. “Are you the top Arts scholar, Huo Yao?”

Huo Yao acknowledged him politely with poise.

Wu Yue did not forget what Rong Jun had said. He spoke to Huo Yao a little more gently. “Why don’t you follow me?”

Yi Feiyu did not expect Wu Yue to agree without any further coaxing. He quickly glanced at Huo Yao and hinted at her to follow behind the teacher.

After Huo Yao got into the lift, Yi Feiyu automatically took two steps back. Ordinary students like him had no access to the fifth floor.

The lift door gradually closed before the lift reached the fifth floor in a few seconds.

Huo Yao paused for a moment and waited for Wu Yue to exit the lift before following behind him.

Wu Yue did not speak, but he kept observing Huo Yao from the corner of his eye.

Prof Rong’s office was at the end of the corridor and was equipped with a passcode-enabled lock. It beeped after Wu Yue entered the password and opened it.

Wu Yue spoke as he entered the office. “Prof Rong has gone for a meeting with the administration. He ought to be back soon, so just wait for him in his office.”

Huo Yao nodded. No wonder he did not reply to her text message. He was probably busy in the meeting.

Wu Yue told Huo Yao to sit down on the couch and wait. He poured her a glass of water before he walked over to the bookshelf and got busy.

Since the new school term had just started, he was genuinely caught up and did not have time to chat with the students.

Huo Yao did not feel awkward. Her eyes landed on a copy of PRL on the coffee table beside the couch. On the cover, there was a paper about Condensed Matter Magnetic Physics written by Rong Jun.

She raised her brow and put her paperwork aside before she picked up the journal.

PRL stood for Physical Review Letters and was the academic journal with the highest impact factor in the Physics academic field. Only the most influential people in the field could publish in this academic journal.

Since it was a journal from Country M, it was written entirely in English.
