Xiao Song felt that this visit was doomed.
They came here to get Thor’s help to advocate for them. This matter in itself had nothing to do with Professor Thor, so it was very presumptuous of them to come and visit. Now Missy was not even willing to wait…
Just as she was racking her brains to think of a way to fill in the blanks, the butler hurriedly said, “So you’ve already arrived. The professor has been waiting. Please come in.”
Xiao Song: “??”
She felt that she had made a mistake in her understanding of the English words. Either that, or she was not thinking straight. Did the butler mean that the professor had been waiting for Missy?
While she was in a daze, Xue Xi turned to look at her. Her gaze jolted Xiao Song back to her senses and she hurriedly said, “I’ll call CEO Xue now.”
But there was no need to call for him. Xue Sheng had already arrived.
The butler looked at them and realized that they came together. He immediately apologized. “Sorry, I didn’t know it was you.”
Xiao Song was about to translate when Xue Xi said in English, “It’s okay.”
Xiao Song: “…”
All of a sudden, she felt a strong sense of danger. Missy knew everything. Why would Xiao Song be needed?
In order to showcase her preparation work, she had been instructing Xue Xi and Xue Sheng in Mandarin during the process of going upstairs. “Professor Thor is a knowledgeable person. He doesn’t like to get straight to the point. I heard about his preferences and we have to say something related to them. Moreover, we must not start talking from the moral high ground but instead express our love for chemistry… Therefore, after entering, we can first talk about our admiration for him…”
Under Xiao Song’s incessant chatter, the handful of people entered the top floor.
As they went upstairs, the butler reported to Thor that several people were coming up, so when the elevator opened, they saw Professor Thor waiting for them.
Xiao Song was stunned. She hurriedly pushed Xue Sheng and whispered, “CEO Xue, quickly greet him!”
Xue Sheng did not expect Thor to come meet them here. Just as he was about to speak, Thor took a step forward and exclaimed with an exaggerated and enthusiastic attitude, “My Goddess of Wisdom, we meet again!”
After saying that, he extended his hand to Xue Xi.
Xue Xi paused and shook his hand before saying coldly, “Hello.”
Xiao Song: “?”
Thor led her into the room. “Goddess of Wisdom, I wonder if you’re interested in chemistry again?”
Xue Xi: “Not interested.”
Xiao Song: “???”
Professor Thor sighed and said, “Then you came to meet me today to talk about lowering the import price of nerve acid raw materials. Can you tell me why? After all, even if you don’t lower the price, it won’t affect your company.”
Xue Xi tilted her head and said, “Because I think it’s too expensive. Most people can’t afford it.”
Xiao Song: “!!!!”
Missy, aren’t you being a little too direct!
Didn’t I just say it? Professor Thor hates it when people don’t like chemistry, hates it when people stand on the moral high ground and discuss problems, and…
However, why is Professor Thor not angry?
She’d heard that Professor Thor had a strange temper!
Xiao Song felt like her entire world was about to collapse.
Professor Thor smiled at Xue Xi. “Goddess, you’re too direct.”
As they spoke, they had already entered the room and sat on the sofa. Professor Thor smiled and said, “Since you are so direct, I won’t waste your precious time. What I want to ask is, what can you give me?”
There was still Xue Sheng in the room who did not understand English, so Xiao Song’s task now was to translate for him in real time.
Xue Sheng was originally here to negotiate, but at this moment, he had unknowingly become a foil for them. Hearing Thor’s words, all of them looked at Xue Xi.
Xue Xi tilted her head. “Is the formula for the nerve acid okay?”
Thor hesitated for a moment and said honestly, “Goddess, this bargaining chip of yours is too tempting for me. I’ve been researching nerve acid for five years, but I still haven’t figured it out. But I think compared to this, I’m more interested in something else.”
Xue Xi was stunned. “What?”
Thor replied, “You.”
Xue Xi: “?”
Thor was about to say something else when he heard a bang. Everyone turned their heads inexplicably and saw that Xue Sheng had slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Thor and said, “Don’t you dare!”
Xue Xi: “?”
Thor: “???”
Xiao Song: “????”
Xue Sheng was furious and his face was filled with anger. “I was wondering why you were so attentive to my daughter. It turns out that you’ve taken a fancy to her. You’re already half-dead, yet you’re still thinking about my daughter? Where did you find the guts?”
After saying that, Xue Sheng waved his fist. “If not for your old age, I would definitely beat you up today!”
He looked angrily at Xue Xi and said, “Xixi, let’s go! At most, we’ll just buy the raw materials and spend more money! We won’t lower the price of our medicine. If people can afford it, they can take it. If they can’t, they can go crazy! I, Xue Sheng, will never sell my daughter, especially to someone so old…”
Xue Xi: “…”
Xue Sheng grabbed her arm and walked out.
Thor was frightened by the look on his face. He said a lot in English, basically saying, “What’s wrong? Why is your father so angry? Does he not approve of you going to Scanford to study? Why? Scanford is the best university in the world. Isn’t it best for your future if you go?”
Xiao Song, who understood what Thor meant: “?”
She hurriedly grabbed Xue Sheng and explained, “CEO Xue, you’ve misunderstood!”
Xue Sheng waved his hand and broke free from Xiao Song’s grip. “What did I misunderstand? I heard it clearly just now! Xiao Song, let me tell you. Even if the company closes down, I will definitely not sell my daughter! Despite how old he is, he’s still immersing himself in women. How embarrassing!”
Xiao Song: “…CEO Xue, he said that he wants Missy to become his student at Scanford University.”
“…”
“…”
The room fell silent. Xue Sheng looked at Thor and then at Xue Xi with an awkward expression. He silently let go of Xue Xi’s hand and straightened the teacup that he had knocked over on the table. Then he picked up a tissue and wiped the table. He then sat down opposite Thor and coughed. “I just made a joke. We Chinese all express our passion like this.”
Thor: “…”
Xue Sheng: “Continue. Ignore me. Continue talking.”
It was a great thing to be able to study at Scanford. Of course, Xue Sheng completely respected Xue Xi’s opinion and based his thoughts on her personal wishes.
