Chapter 934: A Chance Encounter

Zhao Lian suddenly recalled Yu He mentioning this about Huo Yao. The young woman was far more knowledgeable than she appeared. At that time, he had felt that Yu He might have exaggerated things a little.

In hindsight, Yu He was not being clear enough.

Huo Yao raised her head and looked at Prof Zhao while he stared at the monitor in shock. She could not help raising her brow. “Prof Zhao?”

Zhao Lian gathered his thoughts and acknowledged her. “Uh huh. Your method of calculating the transformation rate of cells seems slightly unusual. Did you come up with this on your own?”

Huo Yao nodded and answered. “More or less. It doesn’t make a difference as long as it is efficient and accurate.”

A wave of complicated emotions swept through Zhao Lian’s heart.

Researchers had to keep testing every single step before coming up with the best way to conduct experiments. Once they had established the safest way to do so, they would promote it among the industry to help improve efficiency.

“Does that mean you are lending me the computer?” Huo Yao looked at Prof Zhao’s computer excitedly and changed the subject.

The moment she finished her sentence, Zhao Lian went into a few seconds of silence. “Were you so sure that your results would be right?”

Huo Yao tilted her head and looked at him confidently. “That is unless there is something wrong with your computer.”

Zhao Lian’s lips twitched before he said angrily, “Of course not.”

After he saved Huo Yao’s work on the computer, a thought crossed his mind. He turned off the computer, handed it to Huo Yao, and reiterated. “You can only borrow it for one day!”

Huo Yao took the computer. She failed to notice Prof Zhao’s expression and simply nodded. “I will return the computer at this time tomorrow.”

Zhao Lian sat back down. “Oh yes. Can you help me work on the quantum computation inside? Since you want to try out the computer, why don’t you help me work on it?”

Huo Yao was flabbergasted by his request.

She suddenly did not feel like borrowing the biological computer anymore.

Since Zhao Lian was busy, Huo Yao left with the biological computer before long.

Huo Yao took the lift down to the ground floor. The moment the lift doors opened, she saw Jiang Mingyue and Qi Hui standing outside in the middle of a conversation.

Jiang Mingyue raised her head, saw Huo Yao, and was instantly stunned. She clearly did not expect to see Huo Yao here. Also, if she remembered correctly, the lift had come downstairs from the fifth floor.

The offices of the department professors and fellows were located on the fifth floor.

Students usually did not have access to it.

She only had the honor of going to the fifth floor with Qi Hui once.

The events that had transpired recently during the experiment had left Jiang Mingyue feeling uneasy. After she took a quick glance at Huo Yao, she quickly veered her eyes and stopped wondering what Huo Yao was doing on the fifth floor.

Huo Yao glanced at Qi Hui and Jiang Mingyue mildly before walking out of the lift.

She did not even greet them.

She was treating them like complete strangers.

Huo Yao’s nonchalance made Qi Hui automatically frown since he was accustomed to being highly respected by all students. The moment Huo Yao walked past him, he glanced from the corner of his eye and saw the laptop in her hand.

Qi Hui’s pupils instantly constricted in surprise.

That laptop… Wasn’t it Prof Zhao’s biological computer?

Jiang Mingyue had an excellent EQ, so she was able to notice the change in her teacher’s mood as he watched Huo Yao leave. She could not help feeling a little anxious.

The scene of Huo Yao showing her true prowess in the laboratory flashed before her eyes once more.

Jiang Mingyue squeezed her hands before she asked subtly. “Mr. Qi?”
