Mrs. Qin carried Little Yaoyao to the restroom, and in the living room, Jiang Ye and Old Qin started to chat, while Qin Kai had run off to play with his toys early on.
"I’m telling you, Old Jiang, now that your relationship status is confirmed, isn’t it time to report it?"
Jiang Ye responded with a grunt:
"I’ll give it to you when I have some free time."
"So, I’ll be waiting then. When does Little Junior Sister get off work?" he asked.
"Yeah, their lab is busy with a new project."
After that, they stopped discussing personal matters and officially started talking about work.
Today marked the beginning of the second phase and also the initial visible results, so everyone’s hard work wasn’t in vain.
"Let’s make a bet, till what time will we finish tonight?"
"Alright, what’s the bet?"
"How about a dinner treat?"
"Sure, I bet twelve o’clock."
Now, it was Lu Jing’s turn:
"Um... I think we might be able to leave work a bit earlier tonight, maybe around eleven-thirty, similar to yesterday."
"Little Junior Sister, if you lose the bet, you’ll have to treat us all to dinner, are you sure you don’t want to change your mind?"
If she lost, then a dinner treat it is.
The seniors in the lab were actually quite kind; ever since Lu Jing had arrived not long ago, everyone had taken good care of her.
Thus, whether she lost or won, Lu Jing was willingly looking forward to treating everyone to dinner.
Then, suddenly one of the seniors quietly asked:
"Little Junior Sister, um, do you have a boyfriend?"
As soon as he asked, the other two seniors immediately restrained the inquiring senior:
"What’s up, what are you planning?"
"Hey kid, do you have any indecent intentions towards Little Junior Sister?" The source of this content ɪs novel·fire·net
"Wait, wait, wait, I’m asking for someone else!"
He seemed quite aggrieved.
Everyone then released him:
"Asking for who? That little rascal?"
"Just a friend from their department in Little Junior Sister’s lab, I won’t say who specifically to spare her the embarrassment."
After all, they still had to work together in the same department, so it’s better not to know who it was.
Lu Jing felt quite embarrassed but then...
Before she could finish speaking, the senior quickly said:
"From your tone, how could we not know you’re taken? I’ll tell him, don’t worry, Little Junior Sister."
Such matters, as the person involved, Lu Jing found it really inappropriate to comment further.
Luckily, nobody knew who the person was.
For a while, the lab fell silent.
Until Director Long’s figure appeared from outside:
"Why isn’t anyone talking? It’s eerily quiet, I almost thought I walked into the wrong place."
Usually, these students under him could really chat away, their mouths never stopping.
Lu Jing cleared her throat, then said:
"Teacher, we were making a bet."
"Oh? What bet?" he asked with interest.
At this point, the other three seniors also chimed in:
"We’re betting on what time we can finish tonight, and the loser treats everyone to a meal!"
Director Long nodded:
"So what times did you all bet?" he asked.
"Some bet twelve, some one, some twelve thirty, and some eleven thirty."
Sss, they really spilled everything honestly.
Director Long looked quite crafty:
"So, it sounds like all of you lost!"
So, none of them guessed right?
"Uncle Long, we’re not pulling an all-nighter, are we?"
Please, no, I’m really sleepy.
The others gulped as well.
Director Long hummed:
"Let’s see when you guys can get past this bottleneck, once you do, that’s when we’ll finish!"
