Hearing her question, the assistant seemed to smile for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I’m not sure about the details. You should ask Professor Han in person when you see him."
Su Niannian thanked the assistant but felt even more nervous inside.
The person she feared most was the stern Professor Han.
Su Niannian walked out of the human resources department holding her internship certificate, and immediately, Chi Yan and her group surrounded her.
"Nian Nian, what’s going on?" Su Haikang asked anxiously. "What is your relationship with Professor Han Qingxuan?"
Su Niannian looked up somewhat blankly, "If I said I’m just as clueless as you guys, would you believe me?"
Su Haikang and the others: ...
Su Niannian, not wanting to deal with them, waved her internship certificate, "Professor Han Qingxuan asked me to see him; I’m heading off now."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Chi Yan watched Su Niannian’s departing figure. This girl, who had never even deserved a glance in the class, was now ahead of her and even valued by Professor Han Qingxuan!
Her fingernails dug tightly into her palm, as a thick resentment swiftly filled her eyes.
But it vanished in a flash. When Su Haikang looked at Chi Yan, she had already resumed her gentle demeanor.
Professor Han Qingxuan was doing rounds, and Su Niannian was led to his office by the assistant.
"Wait here for a bit, Professor Han will be back soon," the assistant said with a smile as he poured Su Niannian a cup of coffee.
Su Niannian was taken aback and hurriedly accepted the coffee with both hands, "Th-thank you!"
The assistant had other matters to attend to and soon left.
Su Niannian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She waited for about an hour before Han Qingxuan came in through the door.
He wore a white lab coat and had a brisk gait. His somewhat aged face bore a serious expression.
Su Niannian was so frightened that she quickly stood up.
Unexpectedly, Han Qingxuan’s expression softened when he saw her, "Sit down, no need to be so formal."
After that, he went to the break room to pour himself a coffee.
Su Niannian didn’t dare to sit until Han Qingxuan came out with his coffee and sat down on a different sofa. Then, she carefully took a seat.
Han Qingxuan looked at Su Niannian. She had big eyes and small mouth, a face that seemed inherently honest and likable, albeit a bit timid.
He took a sip of his coffee and asked casually, "How do you know Professor Chi?"
Su Niannian’s tongue tied up, "Chi, Chi what?"
Had she just misheard?
Han Qingxuan appeared surprised.
You’re friends with Professor Chi, and you don’t know her real identity?
But he didn’t elaborate further and instead asked, "How do you know Chi Gui?"
"I’m in the same class as her," Su Niannian relaxed and smiled, "She’s really nice, has helped me a lot. We became friends over time."
Han Qingxuan’s hand trembled as he held his coffee cup, nearly tying his own tongue in disbelief, "Classmates? Has she joined any training classes?"
Su Niannian found his question a bit odd, but she was too nervous to think about it and just shook her head, "No, she’s a student at Nancheng Medical College, just like me."
Chi Gui’s schedule wasn’t public knowledge, only those close to her knew.
At this moment, listening to Su Niannian, even Han Qingxuan felt like he was hallucinating.
He couldn’t help but confirm, "You said Nancheng Medical College, not some Nancheng Research Institute or something?" Discover more novels at ɴovelfire.net
Her reverence for this seemingly strict professor suddenly diminished a bit.
This professor... seemed a bit hard of hearing and not too bright?
Su Niannian emphasized, "It’s the Medical College. Sister Chi transferred midway through, but she is amazing, especially in medicine. I think she has no problem joining the Expert Group!"
As she spoke, she didn’t forget to pitch Chi Gui to Professor Han, "Professor Han, why don’t you take Sister Chi under your wing too? I guarantee, she can definitely bring you huge surprises!"
